Mithunam (2012) - full transcript
Wedded together for fifty years, knowing each other inside out, Appadaasu and Buchchi Laxmi fill their retired days with raw quarrels and ripe loves. Emotional entanglements enslave them to each other to such an extent that they break bonds even with their own kith and kin. It is common for stray notes to sprout up when two people live with each other and associate. But, veteran orchestrators as they are, they conjure up symphonies out of thin air with the magic wand of their love and set up Harmony in the Music of their Married Life.

This is radio station,
Hyderabad centre,
lndian year of 1934,
28th day of Bhadrapada month!
2012 AD, September 19!
Wednesday morning!
We greet our listeners on the
occasion of Lord Ganesh's festival.
You look exactly like a monkey!
Get down!
You called me a monkey,
so l'll come down
only if you offer me a fruit.
Fruit? l'll beat you
with a mud piece!
You'll put soap nut liquid
into my eyes.
Thank God, you didn't say
l'll season you!
Get down, my man!
Troubling me on festival day!
Get down!
May you live long enough with
blessings of mother and mother-in-law...
Still?
Having 25 children...
- This is good!
No shame at all!
- Watch out! Still it's good!
Good, it'll be good...
Do it slowly, l may lose
remaining hair too!
My head isn't a vessel!
lt's bitter.
- That's why l told you shut your mouth.
lt's wonderful!
Mischievous like a child!
Pour water!
Hot...it's very hot!
- Hot?
Take it.
Eye...wound!
Take fruit!
Where's the pomegranate leaf?
- lt's there only!
Where's the leaf?
Always troubles me,
all leaves are for God, right?
Leaves ring to my memory,
add few leafy vegetables.
You've 3 brinjals cut
yesterday, right?
Historians say old brinjals are
good for chutney than fresh ones.
Offer prayers! Lady's fingers
and brinjals won't go anywhere.
How come curry leaves are here?
Use fresh curry leaves for soups!
lt must fall into the soup
directly from the tree.
Not into well, right?
Just because you've stock,
don't add too much of coriander!
Coriander must be like rhythm of Tanpura
in the brinjal chutney.
You woke me up early morning!
Despite my warning,
you gave me a oil bath!
l'm dying with hunger, didn't have
a drop of water since morning.
you're feeding the bulls first!
Not bull but cow!
lt's sin, repent!
He's like that, is it tasty?
lf you're hungry,
you'd eat few extra morsels.
Clarified butter!
- Pour!
Excellent!
Delicious like nectar.
Taste isn't in the thing
but in your hands!
May the food giver live happily!
- May you digest all the food!
Betel leaves!
Get it yourself.
You lazy woman!
Great!
You made the plant to
sprout betel punch!
You're not an ordinary woman!
You're a bit...lady!
Bloody bitch!
Useless boy!
Never let others to live in peace.
Donkey!
What chutney is it?
- Coriander!
Bland!
l know, coriander will not do for you.
You want hot and spicy!
Add chili powder!
Did you feel the heat on tasting
what you sniffed little earlier?
You're taking revenge on me.
l'm avenging for missing
Draksharamam proposal.
lf l had married him,
l wouldn't be toiling
like a beast here,
l would be sleeping like a queen
on the silk bed!
What's here other that the
smell of snuff powder?
l feel burning sensation
in stomach.
Have some more chili powder!
You've medicine, right?
1, 2, 3...
5!
How are children?
They are ruling the world
like 5 Pandavas!
What do they lack?
They're doing fine!
Don't have the chance of
speaking to them on phone.
What can you speak to them?
Night falls here and
day breaks for them there!
Anyway you get a call from
them every week, right?
They're visiting us
once in every 2 or 3 years.
Phones they bought are dead!
Things beyond our reach are
always more beautiful!
Strange humans who snap bonds!
Attached detachment!
They should yearn for us,
why should we yearn for them?
l feel like to eat something,
Where's the mango jelly bar?
Not anywhere else,
it's right beside me.
Don't know when you get up
at night for what!
Our eldest son loves mango jelly bar!
People live according to their tastes.
Though they're our children,
we mustn't be dependent on them.
Where we are destined to get
air and water...
lt's God's wish!
God's wish? Not mango jelly bar!
Pluck flowers, my friend...
l've to visit temple...
Tender like you...
Beautiful like you...
Flowers...
Disturbing sleep is as sinful
as disturbing penance.
Fools don't have the sense of time.
Stop it, you fool!
l'm grandpa here!
lndeed 'Appadam' grandpa!
l told your father, mother and sister,
l'm telling you again.
Don't call me as and when you wish!
There's a day every week, right?
Call on that day only!
l'll kill you! l'll not show mercy
because you're my youngest grandson.
Cut the call!
This is Akashavani radio station,
now poetry recital!
Now let's listen to Jonnavithula
Ramalingeswara Rao's Coffee hymn!
Coffee every morning
gives real kick...
lts big trouble
if we miss it a day...
lt's sheer luck to get
a good cup of coffee...
Nectar is humbug, my dear men...
O coffee!
You're one of a kind drink
in all the worlds...
That's why l tie you up
in my mouth...
Raise slogans of praise with
our tongue every morning...
O mother of taste, don't make me scold
wife for an early morning bed coffee...
Fresh coffee...Nescafe...bless us
with your divine taste, Brook Bond...
Loved by world over...life giver...
May you flow in every home every hour,
O Goddess of hot beverage...
The aroma of you dripping down in
the steel filter is really deadly...
A little of it can
bring back the dead to life...
Missing you for a day ruins
the day with cranky behaviour...
That's why they get you urgently...
They bring and keep safely to prepare...
And wait patiently till it is served...
The serve a frothy coffee by
pouring it from one cup to another...
Even men from traditional families
go to have a cup of Barista coffee...
They get disappointed
if the shop is closed...
l seek refuge in you, O Goddess Coffee!
Fabulous!
What son?
No problem, carry on.
He's having coffee,
he'll be in a trance.
He won't come out of it for an hour.
lt seems elder one has gone to
San Francisco, did he tell you on phone?
Who is she?
Granddaughter of aunt Subbulu!
The girl who is named after me,
it seems she gave a dance
performance in Tata conference...
Not Tata?
CAT?
Not even that? What's it then?
DATS?
Damn it! That's it!
Telugu people split up
into 3 in a day!
Something is boiling on stove, wait.
Gravy is boiling!
Centrum? No need, son.
He never uses English medicines.
Get something for my knee pain.
Grandson?
Does he want to talk to me?
ln Telugu? No?
Let him talk!
Yes, grandma only!
Grandpa is having coffee.
lf he hears your Telugu,
he'll kill you.
Will you make a cartoon film
on your grandpa?
Does my husband look like
a cartoon orjoker to you?
Hey you...call your father!
Are you cooking everyday or
eating frozen food?
What's the time now there?
Go to sleep.
Okay, she's fine, right?
Tell her l had inquired. Bye!
One must have attached detachment!
What's the use of getting too attached
with parents like your mother?
Did your mother or father
ever come to see you?
Did you ever think about them?
What's this?
Why are you washing my sari?
You wash my dhoti, is it wrong
if l wash your sari?
Moreover when l wash, squeeze
or dry your sari,
wonderful, l'm overwhelmed
by feelings!
Enough!
Every man has BP and diabetes
like God's discus and conch!
Why won't he get affected?
Look at you!
You draw water from well early morning,
sweep the courtyard,
make motifs, cook,
wash clothes, grind batter,
do all the household work,
why would you get affected by ailments?
Hold it!
There's a switch for water, cooking,
switch for making chutney or batter, leave it!
Getting lazy to put the switch,
there's a remote switch now!
At an age when young should
be able to digest stones,
they're eating a handful of tablets,
what bloody times have come!
This sari was brought by Govind.
l couldn't sleep well
when you went out of station.
l would sleep using your sari
as bedspread.
You'd appear in the sari l used!
ln my dream!
Look, Kistappa is bearing fruit
for every leaf! Wonderful!
Look at Madhava, isn't he taking
good care of us?
Look, how he has taken the
responsibility on his shoulders.
Govind too hasn't forgotten the elders!
Look, he too wants to
provide us support!
Hubby!
When l see these flowers,
it makes me remember Meenakshi.
She loves these flowers.
People used to think we were sisters.
Such a long plait, big eyes!
Are you listening?
She loved, married him
and went away to Kharagpur.
Don't know how she is doing now?
Oh God!
She didn't make it to
our youngest son's marriage too.
Did you see how nicely
l've made the garland? lsn't it?
Meenakshi would've done
it much better.
Take it, offer it to your God.
Your comb my hair once in 12 years, yet...
You get to know whatever l think!
That's the problem l've with you.
Comb properly.
Fragrant like Goddess Parvathi's hair.
l've added fragrant roots and
hibiscus flowers to the hair oil.
lt adds fragrance.
Leave it...
what do you lose if l compare?
Shouldn't there be a limit to compare?
Comparing me with Goddess herself!
You're a Goddess to me.
Goddess or Ankalamma?
He's back again!
- Please calm down!
Childishness!
- My foot childishness!
You're too much!
Why are you after my home like bad luck?
What happened now?
lt seems you're telling everyone that
Appadas is growing garlic plants in home.
My will and wish,
l'll grow canabis if not garlic.
Will you behead me for that?
l'll kill you, silly boy!
You shut up! l'll kill if you
come here again, donkey!
Useless donkey!
l'll kill you!
- Please calm down.
Don't be childish like them.
- Who is child?
Are we going to trouble others?
We're living n our own without
anyone seeing us.
Why is he banging the door,
bloody...
What happened now?
He saw me combing your hair
from the door's hole,
he told everyone that old man
is combing grandma's hair.
Just comb her hair,
l'll give her a bath too!
l'll do anything,
she's my wife and my will!
No control on your tongue!
You talk as you like, stubborn man
isn't bothered about others hearing it.
You were a teacher too!
Moreover have 3 Masters Degrees!
What's the use?
No control on emotions!
You talk about self control!
No use of those useless
meditations and Yogas!
Anger is one's enemy,
patience is one's protection!
Correct, l got the poem but
can't grasp the essence of it.
Though you're a cow,
won't you butt if l pinch your tail?
This is Akashavani radio station,
in today's program of classical music,
we're listening instrumental music!
Percussions by Dr. Yella Venkateshwara Rao
and Nemani Somayajulu,
Fabulous!
Two!
l'm going up the ladder to top!
Great! Up the ladder again!
Lord, bless me another big leap!
Gone!
l think Lord heard you,
he gave a kick to take you down!
Get down!
Get down further, that's it!
Hey look there! A parrot is eating
the tender mango beautifully!
lt's a squirrel not a parrot!
l can see clearly the
red beak and green body!
No, it's a squirrel.
l can see clearly the 3 lines drawn
by Lord Rama, it's a squirrel.
You moved my coin! Cheating game!
l'll not accept this!
l don't have the necessity
to play cheating games.
lf you cheat women,
you'll go to hell.
She-devils and vultures
would besiege you there!
lt's my mistake to play
with a cheater like you.
You got cheated, my dear!
Did you add stones of mango?
My left eye was battering
as a sign of bad omen.
l knew there's an impending danger!
When the gravy is boiling, it must
be like churning of sea of milk!
When seasoning, it must be like first
rain and create a storm in the cup!
Must be like my death anniversary!
Family life and gravy gets
tastier as it simmers!
Buchi, remember well!
Don't just sprinkle asafetida
in dishes,
use it in good measure,
it must be at least the
size of a big bead!
lt'll be fabulous!
Vow of silence
l'm dead!
ls it auspicious Ekasi day?
l can't understand you
and you can't...
l'm saying everything is fine and okay!
Nothing else!
What?
Am l like a cow?
Do l eat grass and drop cow dung?
Do you want me to sleep in backyard?
You want me to milk the cow!
Will you make pudding with cow's milk?
She's looking angry, it means
she'll make tamarind rice.
lf she asks for milk,
she'll make pudding!
Thank God, my head would've
broken into two pieces.
Savithri, weekly one day she
takes vow of silence.
But why do we fight always?
l got it.
You listen to me without a protest.
But l don't listen
to what she says, right?
That's the difference.
Do you've sense?
What's the time now?
Noon!
What's this silly cry at noon?
You're becoming like Appadas!
l couldn't sleep last night.
Loose motions!
You eat whatever you can lay
your hands on.
Can't you keep control on
your food intake?
How?
When l see cashew nuts...
Then, eat few leaves of mint
and few grains of pepper.
Pepper? lt's hot!
You won't let earthworms
survive in rains,
you won't let butterflies
to fly in spring,
in summer, you eat vegetarian
and non-vegetarian!
Same cry again!
Shut your mouth and
have a digestive juice!
The moment l sleep,
he's up to something!
What's that?
What happened?
You're bleeding!
Please bear it.
l said bear it, please hold it.
A little turmeric powder will heal it.
God! Don't shout! Bear the pain!
Did you hurt your leg too?
- lt fell!
Won't l give you ask me?
Stolen jaggery and kisses are sweeter,
you've to experience it to understand.
Then, enjoy it!
Kiss is for the jaggery
not to wife!
Shameless man!
This is little personal. Okay?
Okay?
Think about God, it's good!
Always chanting names of sons!
They too were named after Gods!
You gave them the names.
l thought you'd have 1 or 2 children,
so l named the eldest as Krishna.
You gave birth to a son every year,
so l took to the chant of God
to name them.
Did a great job!
Calcium!
Am l man or wall?
lt's burning.
When Meenakshi did this in our marriage,
it didn't burn but was cool.
Wives are always cheap to husbands!
Wash it or else it may burn!
l entered the garden early morning
to get flowers for your prayers, Lord.
The garden was shining bright
in the morning sun!
Flowers were playing happily
in the mother's lap!
Then...
l stood near a plant with flowers...
Bending down a branch...
Seeing this horror...
flowers were horrified...
Cried with tears rolling down
asking will you take our lives?
Hubby!
- What?
Please take out pickles from the jar!
- Okay!
Pickles get tastier as it soaks.
Coconut to eat!
Coconut?
Yes.
- Fabulous!
Why did you remove the ladder
asking me get pickles?
Will you let me make chutney
with coconut?
You silly woman, get the ladder!
Will you bring or
shall l rip out your skin?
Why are you behaving silly
like Keti in puppet show?
Sit silently.
What about your silly acts, Bangarakka?
Get the ladder.
- No way!
Today you'll die in my hands.
Let the sin of killing a woman
affect me, may l go to the hell!
This will happen!
- Enough of empty threats!
You're not coming down
till l grate coconuts.
You'll be born as dog in next life.
ls this life any better than that?
lf l jump from here...
You're not a Leo!
You belong to Aries!
Cheating runs in your family!
Your father is a cheat!
He promised many things but gave
just a nose pin for marriage.
As if yours is Harishchandra's family!
They promised Rs.500 cash and
5 sovereigns of gold,
but got just 3 sovereigns
of gold only!
Moreover it has 3 grams of lac!
Don't grind as you wish,
grind it softly.
Grind it little more.
Check if salt stone is ground or not.
Add pulse! Fry it perfectly.
Only on occasions,
never made any offering to God.
Don't know how the sins
would affect me.
Don't do injustice to me
and that chutney.
Will it be more that
what you did to me?
Had that Draksharamam proposal
been materialized...
Golden waist belt, 6 pairs of
bangles, they promised a chain too!
They didn't want a penny as dowry!
One must be lucky to enjoy life!
No use of thinking now.
Fabulous!
l feel like l'm at the
threshold of heaven!
Your hands create magic!
Look at the holy discus and conch
with holy mark in between.
Your eyes have a problem,
that's why you see holy marks!
Ammi, you tolerate abuses
but not praise.
You always make pots and covers only!
You've forgotten to make lamps.
l would've finished offering
1 lakh lamp prayer.
l told you a lakh times.
You wanted to offer prayers for 16 benefits.
l arranged it.
Then, you said another
special prayer, l said okay.
You gave vermillion of
every one in the village.
l said okay to any prayer
you wanted to offer.
But 1 lakh lamp...
- Again 1 lakh lamp.
lt's bad omen for us.
First we planned it,
your mother fell sick.
Second time we fixed the day
and my father died.
lf you tlk about it,
someone would die!- Silent!
Don't talk about bad things.
Don't connect those two things.
You're lazy to make lamps.
Don't say like that.
Didn't l make thousands of lamps
when you asked and stored it inside?
You put everything l say
in backburner.
Whatever you say l'll carry
it on my head.
Don't argue like a foolish woman.
Yes, l'm foolish,
you're a great man!
No, can you understand
what l am saying!
Go away!
- You go away!
Mad man! Go!
Savithri! Who is greater in nature?
Man or woman?
ln my opinion man is great,
what about you?
l got it.
So little like goat milk.
- That's why they say cow's milk.
Did you drink while milking it?
Thank God!
Goat's milk makes me remember
Mahatma Gandhi!
That great man got us freedom with
little goat milk and few ground nuts.
l think l was studying in class lV,
Gandhi came to Rajahmundry,
we planned to visit and
made cotton cloth using hand weaver!
Piercing through the crowd
in railway station,
do you know how did l reach him?
l couldn't get the opportunity
to garland him,
but l got the opportunity
to touch his holy feet!
When l think of touching his feet,
even today it thrills me!
Really a great man!
Like Einstein said this generation may
not believe Gandhi lived in this country.
You and Gandhi have
many similarities!
lf we remove your love for food.
Love letter?
Love letters for us?
ls it electricity bill?
Pay it before due date,
if not he'll cut the power.
What happened to you?
Looks like you've slipped!
Don't feel shy,
it's natural to enjoy life!
How nice the unripe mangoes are!
Let's make pickles, pluck!
Pluck!
Shall l?
l'll pluck it.
Pluck!
Catch it.
No...no...
- Catch it.
l'm dead!
l thought you'll be weightless
but heavy like a dead calf!
Even a towel would be heavy
in old age.
Okay, get up.
- No need!
You wantonly put me down.
Don't l know your mischief?
Get up...get up....
- l've broken my leg.
lt's burning!
lt's burning!
Please bear it,
you rush for everything.
Am l?
Wait...sit!
Dew!
Searching for me already!
- Just now? You went long back!
l was invited for a function,
you won't let me go out of house
if you're awake.
You stand guard like demoness Lankini!
Did you bring my share of pulse?
- They gave a lot!
Season it for tonight.
Can't digest it at night.
Come...come...
Oh l got you Ardhanareeswara!
l searched for you separately!
Are you both in one place?
Buchi, when l wrote a letter
about my husband's death,
l can't forget the way
you reacted to it,
after that sending money every year
for my son's education,
he got ajob in campus selection,
he wants to seek your
blessings personally,
please bless him,
you've been helping me a lot,
your husband who is allowing you
to do it without a protest,
you both are like Gods to us,
how am l to repay the gratitude...
Always your friend Meenakshi!
lts easy to born as humans,
but difficult to live like humans.
Wake up O sun!
The horizon is turning red!
Why are you toiling like this?
Like a man of many trades!
l'll clean cotton and
you criticize me.
Please come here for a moment.
Come l say!
- Coming! l'm here!
Look there!
How beautiful the butterfly is!
Do you want it?
- l told you to see.
l can't just see,
if you point a finger, l'll do it.
Hold this.
Come children...
To hear little, small,
short, smart stories...
Butterfly!
That's okay! But where's your dhoti?
Hubby!
- What happened?
Rope is cut!
lt was brought when we were
newly married.
We had an angle, right?
- No need of it!
Hubby!
Hubby!
Are you there?
Hubby!
- What?
We got this amulet for Govind
when he was 7 years old.
Amulet with Lord Anjaneya!
Good torchlight,
fell into well and got rusted.
Will it work?
Look here! Silver ring with
Goddess Lakshmi!
lt belongs to Kesava, he tied
thread to tighten it, poor boy!
Offering dispenser!
Crow might have picked and
dropped into well.
Whose milk dispenser is this?
May be Madhava's second son's.
He would've thrown it into well
for giving him castor oil.
Whose is that?
- Who else? Yours!
Shameless man!
This is to cover shame, right?
There's a limit for fun!
This is your third granddaughter's who
is named after you Buchi Lakshmi!
Now l remember!
l got it made by Poli Shetty!
Now l've a real surprize for you!
Show me!
When you came here as
my newly wedded wife,
l brought this from
Chennai Vummidiars for you!
l know, you got this to know
where l am like belling a cat!
Mischievous ideas!
l got it to see you move
around the home like an angel.
lt's best to do this job
which gives returns!
Look, unripe bananas!
How far your cooking has come?
You want any help?
Why will you not?
- Prepare this too.
Always troubles me.
Always after food!
lt means rains produce food!
Food is very important to
the world, right?
lt means food is manifestation of God!
Buchi, first morsel of food
to me is like Lord Shiva!
l'll consecrate it with water!
l'll put a dot with pickle!
l'll offer coriander garland!
Offer mashed pulse!
Lastly l'll cleanse it with curd
and unite it with my soul.
lt's salutations and obeisance to me.
That is devotion and
that is food!
lt seems God writes the names
of eaters on the banana leaf.
When we are born, he signs a document
of how many one has in his or her life!
Once a man completes his
quota of leaves, what's left?
Earth!
But number is secret!
Myth of time!
Take it!
Savoury!
Take 25%! Have it.
One for you, one for me.
- Give!
Look!
This brings to memory
about our marriage band!
Why not?
He played in our marriage.
We almost made a Himalayan effort
to get him paid a rupee.
Don't talk too much, your people
were not any less stingy.
They promised 7 day marriage but
finished on fourth day with 7 feasts.
On the day your people arrived,
they said they'll eat only once,
said next day is Saturday
and would be fasting,
did you eat less?
Two large vessels of tamarind rice,
two big bowls of ginger chutney
were sent to the guest house.
l swear we didn't get a chance
to wash the vessels too!
Finished four pots of buttermilk.
Not only that we sent half acre of
plantains in a bullock cart,
You didn't even leave the
banana peels!
Cooking was like good medicine!
Your people served ghee with grass!
My father said that's more than
enough for your people.
Do you know about 5 jewels
in cooking?
Brinjal delicacy, leaf vegetable,
pumpkin with pulse...- Jack fruit mash!
Plantain gravy, l know all that.
l've heard it millions of times
in these 50 years.
With your grace though l didn't
get to wear diamond rings,
the holes still remain!
Why are you speaking nasty things
without considering your age?
Nasty things?
Nasty things?
You're sprinkling pesticide,
cover your face!
lt kills humans easily but
not the insects.
lt was flowering well,
somebody cast evil eyes on it.
Then, keep a scarecrow
to ward off evil eyes.
No need of scarecrow
to ward off evil, Buchi!
lf you stand here for an hour
every evening letting down your hair,
forget about insects,
not even birds would dare come near.
Marrying you would make me a
scarecrow, what else can l be?
l was very beautiful as
a little girl.
carrying this demon,
l've become like Seetha in Lanka.
Enough of your taunt.
Taunt?
Forget about birds, not even ghosts and
evil spirits would dare come here, Appadas.
Hey you Lankini,
have you made me a scarecrow?
Didn't you feel when you
told to go forest?
Wait, l'll take you to task.
- What will you do, man?
l'm leaving!
l'm leaving!
l'm giving up world to
become a Sanyasi!
Delighted to hear!
l'll never step into this
home again in my life.
l'm saved! So be it!
My heart is burning
for making fun of me.
My entire body is burning,
who am l to complain?
lnsult! l'm leaving home forever!
l don't know anymore Sanskrit,
if you want, leave happily!
Your behaviour is making me
go furious!
Pesarattu is fantastic!
No wife, no children...no home...
These wooden sandals are worse
than a devil like wife.
l'll throw it!
This is happy!
lngratitude beast!
Can't you hear me?
Why would you bother about my sorrow?
Generation gap!
Had it been your mother,
where is she? Where is it?
There's a generation gap
between us too!
Thorn!
Looks like it has entered deeply!
Wait...wait...
l'll remove it, just a minute.
Pesarattu!
- Feed!
Fabulous!
l've told many times but
Anji is eating off the plants!
l've told my children only one thing,
if your childhood is difficult,
you'd live happily all life,
if your childhood is happy,
wait l say!
lf your childhood is happy, you'd
spend rest of life with difficulties.
Advice Anji!
Hubby!
- What?
Anji is missing since morning.
Anji is missing...
Dear! Where's your child?
Where did you go away, dear?
Coming...coming!
Where's our Anji?
Relationships are short lived!
Mother, delivery date of your
daughter-in-law has been given.
Your grandson has sent
a cartoon film, watch it.
Tale of Appadam grandpa's stomach!
As soon as grandpa gets up
early morning,
one spoon of honey and
little lime juice,
then breathing exercise for some time,
l mean Pranayama,
after that breakfast!
Four idlies with coconut chutney,
four vadas with ginger chutney,
with ghee and chili powder,
then one jar full of filter coffee,
little rest,
this isn't a factory siren,
it's siren of grandpa's stomach,
it means lunch time!
lt's lunch time!
Menu,
first copiously mashed pulse,
next is brinjal dish,
then Dappalam with four appalams,
then, finally top it with curd
and mango stone!
Finish it with sweets and
betel leaves!
A commercial break!
lt means grandpa takes a nap!
One getting up at 4 pm,
two corns or four Pootharekulu,
and then a very hot cup of tea,
then he gives a small gap,
after listening to news on radio,
one dibbarotte with
honey sweetened drink,
or tamarind rice with pickle,
along with ajug of cow milk,
then two bananas and two spoons of...
the quota may double or
go triple also.
Poor stomach would go burst
at such times!
Delivery date of Madhava's wife has
been announced, he wants me there.
Go.
- Come means us both!
Let's go, come!
Cooking and eating,
is life that's all?
No visits to holy places
or to see new places!
Let's go to see Hollywood
and Disneyland, come.
He's not calling to take
you around America,
To become a midwife to his wife
and do all the chores.
Both husband and wife
would go to office,
you've to take care of the new born,
no need to tell all that.
l'll do it, is it wrong?
Blood relationship!
You're the root!
They say old gives way to new.
Old is not always good and
new isn't always bad.
lt was said by Kalidas not Appadas.
Get me that box.
We used to get letters for
obsequies of any dead.
We used to sprinkle turmeric
water to accept telegrams.
Whether it is good news
or bad news.
But just a button will get us
to hear and see them!
Though children are not here,
they're before our eyes.
This is communication.
We used to work hard physically
to grind, pound or grate,
then came grinder for your idlies,
mixie for your chutneys,
gas for our cooking!
l'm little happy for using
all these implements.
This is relaxation.
That's why your mother died cooking
using a firewood stove.
So, please respect the old
and welcome the new!
Tell me the truth,
when l speak to children
secretly over cell phone,
didn't you eavesdrop our
conversation and wipe tears?
Did l say anything wrong?
Got any of your old slippers?
Cockroaches are damaging the clothes,
get few naphthalene balls.
Take it.
- Give.
Why have you opened the cloth shop?
Not a shop, do you know what it is?
- What?- See!
Our marriage dress.
My mother presented it.
Presented by eldest son
on sixtieth birthday.
Wait!
What are these?
No need to see, my saris.
Men don't know about it...why..?
Peacock neck colour!
You came here in this sari.
l thought you were like a Goddess.
You wore this sari when you got
pregnant with our first child.
Yes.
This is when we poured berries
on our younger son,
we were fighting like children
with children for the coins,
you pinched me too,
you wore this sari that day!
When l was accepting
President's award,
unable to bear the happiness,
you were in tears ofjoy,
you were in this sari that day!
You were giving this to vessel seller,
l had a fight with you
and hid these two saris!
Mine...absolutely mine!
When l got operated for appendicitis,
you came running to hospital
in anxiety,
you were wearing this sari that day.
When our children celebrated
sixtieth birthday,
you wore this sari that day!
When retired and came home very sad,
you hugged and
wiped my face with this sari!
Enough?
All are different,
Appadas is different.
Keep your leg here.
- Why?
We get good slippers for Rs.100.
Not for money, my dear silly wife!
There's happiness in making it ourselves.
l'm a retired man!
Retired doesn't mean stop working.
Stop doing routine job!
Keep your feet here, keep!
Wait!
- Keep here!
Good!
You try to do everything yourself
and raise my tension!
lt could be a scorpion
or some poisonous insect.
What if it gets serious?
ls it painful?
l know hymn to reduce scorpion
bite's effect.
Please...
Got any relief?
- Got a little relief,
teach me that hymn, if it bites
again, l'll use it myself.
The hymn will not work
if you do it yourself.
There's a condition too!
Teach me, l can use it for others.
l don't know any hymns,
l just prayed to Lord Venkateswara.
What did you pray?
To give your pain to me.
lf l die before you,
how would it be?
Am l that lucky?
Damn lady! So you're waiting
for my death, right?
Why are you asking such questions then?
Sleep without talking.
Death is inevitable!
Early or late, that's all!
Okay, think if you die before me.
- l'm saved!
l don't have to work anymore.
lf you go to heaven alone,
won't l follow you in the next flight?
Won't you let me be happy there also?
Though it is heaven,
how can you spend time without me?
lsn't there a way for us
to go together?
Why not? See!
l'll see how he can take us separately.
Mad man!
Buchi's man!
Good companion and good shade!
Your madam becoming my wife is fruit
of my previous birth's good deeds.
Father!
Nothing, l had to call under
unavoidable circumstances.
Tell me.
You know Seetharamamurthy uncle's son,
l mean who was named after you
as Appadas Hariprasad,
and aunt Venkaya's granddaughter,
l mean who was named after mother,
we decided to get them married in
lndia in our home before you both,
if you say yes, all of us would
come to lndia next month,
l mean to get your blessings.
l'll discuss with mother
and tell you.
Call me tomorrow.
Really? l'm extremely happy!
Again 5 sons, daughters-in-law,
grandchildren,
it'll be fun and frolic
for 10 days here!
What else did he say?
He said he'll fix a date and
come to lndia.
He's superstitious like you.
l'll start making sweets
and savouries.
lt hasn't dawned yet!
lt's 3 am now
lf it's 3 am here,
what's the time there?
Afternoon! Sleep for another hour.
l can't sleep anymore.
At least lie down!
lf he calls again, l'll talk to him.
Okay.
Our Buchi is marrying that boy...
Buchi marrying that boy...
Buchi is marrying Appadas.
Buchi is marrying Appadas!
True!
We'll be as happy as seeing
our marriage again.
How about bride wearing
my marriage sari?
How can l accept if someone
else wears your sari?
Let be granddaughter or some queen!
Buchi is Buchi and sari is sari!
Buchi is Buchi!
Pickle belongs to us...
Gongura chutney too is ours...
Why do we need pizzas, burgers and pasta?
Coconut chutney for idlies...
Ginger chutney for pesarattu...
Honey sweetener for dibbarotte...
if you don't get it, use jaggery...
Hot milk pudding must be eaten fresh
and tamarind rice the next day...
Chilly bajji must burn the tongue...
Vada must float in curd...
Relish 25 mouths full of brinjal delicacy...
Lick the leaf clean
if it is pumpkin gravy...
When jack fruit is in home,
it's obsequies for the dead elders...
Many a generations ate happily making
a delicacy of mashed jack fruit...
Gurazada said one who eats well
gets stronger...
Appadas followed that in letter
and spirit to eat three times a day...
l'm Dollar Dakshinamurthy!
Didn't recognize me?
Father of your second daughter-in-law!
Are you fine?
l don't get time to visit you.
You don't have the patience
to come there.
As my NRl poet friend said,
after reaching the land of dreams,
would motherland appear
in dreams, mother?
That's why unable to bear anymore,
l came here, mother.
l want to eat from your hands
and sleep in your lap.
What's there in lndia?
Cow dung and donkey's egg!
l mean cow dung and donkey's egg!
lf you board AlR lndia flight,
before air hostess gets your coffee,
we'll reach America.
Play with children in between,
if there's time, have a coke.
Father-in-law, you get cow dung
and donkey's egg in any country.
What do we get here?
Affection, love!
Above all mother is here!
Eat well son!
Come children,
mother is serving pickle rice.
Not for him, first me, mother!
Why did it happen like that?
Not serious, right?
Just broke the leg.
How long he'll be in hospital?
Minimum a month, that's why
postponed the marriage by 2 months.
Forget about marriage,
health is more important.
Convince mother somehow!
- She'll kill you.
You should've seen her enthusiasm.
She has made many boxes of sweetmeats.
She may be shocked to hear this.
l'll mange it, son.
Why don't you both come here
after 2 months?
l don't have any objections, but your
mother never steps out of this home.
You know about her, right?
Don't put the blame on mother.
Are you ready to come?
Allow us to be here only!
What happened?
Flight delay or is there
any change in the program?
lt seems he hurt his leg.
l picked up the phone.
Leave it. lt'll happen
when it is destined to happen!
lt's God's will!
You toiled hard to prepare things.
Leave it, l did it for my husband!
Have it!
Let's both have it.
What's the special today?
Nothing, just sweets and
savouries only!
Few fruits and a glass of milk.
Today is Saturday!
Morning you made bitter gourd gravy, right?
No need to eat left over,
moreover today is Saturday.
Tamarind rice and bitter gourd gravy
are tasty next day only!
Will you lose anything
if you fast for a day?
Bitter gourd has medicinal qualities.
lt kills worms in stomach.
lt is blood purifier
and averts skin diseases.
Leave me! lt's there, get it yourself.
l'm fasting, serve yourself.
What a taste!
Heavenly! lt's heaven before me!
Fabulous!
Chew the leaf also along with food.
You can reach heaven with body!
lf God of Death Yama comes here now,
who is he? Markandeya!
lt seems he held the Lord Shiva
in phallus form!
l'll hold this vessel with gravy,
if l smear a little gravy
on Yama's tongue,
forget about taking me with him,
he'll sit to me and eat
like a gargantuan!
What are you eating?
l'm not mad after food like you.
lf l say only fruits l mean it.
See!
What's that?
Black ammonite stone?
Grapes!
Your eyes have a problem.
Useless fruit! l hate that name also.
What did this fruit do...
Does it bring to your memory
Draksharamam proposal?
You'll lose nothing, have few grapes.
How dare you throw those
nasty fruits into my food!
l hate grapes and Draksharamam.
lt's bad omen while eating.
Bad omen!
Will you wash hands in food?
Can you get food again in this life?
That Draksharamam proposal...
- Broaching about that proposal again!
Yes, if you had accepted that
Draksharamam proposal,
your bad time would've ended,
maybe he would've decked you with
jewels and took you around on elephant,
you're going through
hell here with me,
l denied you the life
of an empress!
Even after l've told you this,
you're still eating
those nasty fruits!
Why are you kicking food?
Not kick, l'll strangle and kill you.
Kill me.
- l'll kill you.
Die...die...
- Kill me...
lt'll be good riddance!
Kill me.
- l'll kill you.
l'll hack you!
- Get lost!
Who won now and who lost, Lord?
Couple means tiffs...it's always sweet...
Two instruments making sound
but the rhythm is one...
An old man with young heart is running...
A sixty year old woman is angry...
Two hearts are beating
but the rhythm is one...
Throwing aside the differences...
Shedding tears, they laughed together...
lt's raining,
get up and sleep inside.
Get up...get up...
Get up!
104!
Get up!
Have little food!
Throw up!
l'm feeling cold!
Legs are paining!
Buchi, open your mouth, have little!
l don't want.
- Please have little.
God!
Fortunate woman!
Dying as a married chaste woman!
May you live long as married...
be blessed with long life!
At last you made me offer
the 1 lakh lamp prayer.
You're glowing like
Goddess Lalitha Parameshwari!
l got the best life partner even
God wouldn't have been so lucky.
As you said it would've been good
if you'd accepted that Draksharamam proposal.
You married this lifelong poor man!
Did l give you any pleasure in life?
Bloody life!
Please calm down!
What do l lack?
l want only you in all my lives!
l'm telling you now,
there wasn't any proposal
from Draksharamam!
No Draksharamam proposal?
Really?
What a good news!
Bloody bit...
No Draksharamam proposal!
There's no proposal from Draksharamam!
Lord, it seems there wasn't any
proposal from Draksharamam!
Just one Rama and one Seetha, that's all!
Hey Draksharamam! You're a fake!
You're a fake!
Draksharamam proposal was a fake!
Draksharamam proposal was a fake!
Your madam is a bloody bit...
Draksharamam proposal was a fake!
Draksharamam proposal was a fake!
Why are you still sleeping?
Hubby!
Birth is game...
death is game...
Love in between is game for you...
Relationship is game...
rivalry is game...
End is game for you...
Game is black and white...
Victory of black and white
is a game for you...
Earth is game...Sky is game...
You play the game
keeping me in mystery...
lt's a game, right Lord Shiva?
lt's a game, right, Kesava?
l was scared l would die first.
Now a big burden has eased!
lt's over!
Had l died first,
you may pour turmeric water on me,
God, you know he would've
struggled to live!
First take him and
think about me later.
l used to pray you every day!
Don't think will there be foolish wives
who would wish death of their husbands?
There will be!
l love him to death!
He's scared of darkness.
He's afraid of thunders.
He's afraid of lightning.
lf he wakes up at midnight with hunger,
who would prepare food for him?
Who would fulfill his silly wishes?
Son? Daughter-in-law? Grandson?
Or you?
Answer me!
We merged like gold and lac.
Gold is gone!
Lac remains as residue!
loved by ideal couple...
A couple adored by the couples
all over the world...
A home of eternal love...
A garden of quince of Lord Shiva...
A fragrant flower of love that
a man presents to his wife...
lt's a duet of love filled with
nine moods and peaceful co-existence...
An ideal way of life together that
symbolizes the culture of lndia...
Ajourney through the sea of life
with the help of wife...
lt's a delightful song of souls
inspired by life's little pleasures...
A holy couple's journey through
the flowery paths of worldly life...
lt's a stirring tale of affection
of a couple who crossed 60 years...
A victory flag of successful marriage
hoisted proudly by the couple...
Salutations to motherland!
Mother, l bow to thee!
Rich with thy hurrying streams,
bright with orchard gleams...
Cool with thy winds of delight...
Dark fields waving Mother of might,
Mother free....
Glory of moonlight dreams,
Over thy branches and lordly streams...
Clad in thy blossoming trees,
Mother, giver of ease...
Laughing low and sweet...
Mother l kiss thy feet...
Speaker sweet and low...
Mother, to thee l bow....
This is radio station,
Hyderabad centre,
lndian year of 1934,
28th day of Bhadrapada month!
2012 AD, September 19!
Wednesday morning!
We greet our listeners on the
occasion of Lord Ganesh's festival.
You look exactly like a monkey!
Get down!
You called me a monkey,
so l'll come down
only if you offer me a fruit.
Fruit? l'll beat you
with a mud piece!
You'll put soap nut liquid
into my eyes.
Thank God, you didn't say
l'll season you!
Get down, my man!
Troubling me on festival day!
Get down!
May you live long enough with
blessings of mother and mother-in-law...
Still?
Having 25 children...
- This is good!
No shame at all!
- Watch out! Still it's good!
Good, it'll be good...
Do it slowly, l may lose
remaining hair too!
My head isn't a vessel!
lt's bitter.
- That's why l told you shut your mouth.
lt's wonderful!
Mischievous like a child!
Pour water!
Hot...it's very hot!
- Hot?
Take it.
Eye...wound!
Take fruit!
Where's the pomegranate leaf?
- lt's there only!
Where's the leaf?
Always troubles me,
all leaves are for God, right?
Leaves ring to my memory,
add few leafy vegetables.
You've 3 brinjals cut
yesterday, right?
Historians say old brinjals are
good for chutney than fresh ones.
Offer prayers! Lady's fingers
and brinjals won't go anywhere.
How come curry leaves are here?
Use fresh curry leaves for soups!
lt must fall into the soup
directly from the tree.
Not into well, right?
Just because you've stock,
don't add too much of coriander!
Coriander must be like rhythm of Tanpura
in the brinjal chutney.
You woke me up early morning!
Despite my warning,
you gave me a oil bath!
l'm dying with hunger, didn't have
a drop of water since morning.
you're feeding the bulls first!
Not bull but cow!
lt's sin, repent!
He's like that, is it tasty?
lf you're hungry,
you'd eat few extra morsels.
Clarified butter!
- Pour!
Excellent!
Delicious like nectar.
Taste isn't in the thing
but in your hands!
May the food giver live happily!
- May you digest all the food!
Betel leaves!
Get it yourself.
You lazy woman!
Great!
You made the plant to
sprout betel punch!
You're not an ordinary woman!
You're a bit...lady!
Bloody bitch!
Useless boy!
Never let others to live in peace.
Donkey!
What chutney is it?
- Coriander!
Bland!
l know, coriander will not do for you.
You want hot and spicy!
Add chili powder!
Did you feel the heat on tasting
what you sniffed little earlier?
You're taking revenge on me.
l'm avenging for missing
Draksharamam proposal.
lf l had married him,
l wouldn't be toiling
like a beast here,
l would be sleeping like a queen
on the silk bed!
What's here other that the
smell of snuff powder?
l feel burning sensation
in stomach.
Have some more chili powder!
You've medicine, right?
1, 2, 3...
5!
How are children?
They are ruling the world
like 5 Pandavas!
What do they lack?
They're doing fine!
Don't have the chance of
speaking to them on phone.
What can you speak to them?
Night falls here and
day breaks for them there!
Anyway you get a call from
them every week, right?
They're visiting us
once in every 2 or 3 years.
Phones they bought are dead!
Things beyond our reach are
always more beautiful!
Strange humans who snap bonds!
Attached detachment!
They should yearn for us,
why should we yearn for them?
l feel like to eat something,
Where's the mango jelly bar?
Not anywhere else,
it's right beside me.
Don't know when you get up
at night for what!
Our eldest son loves mango jelly bar!
People live according to their tastes.
Though they're our children,
we mustn't be dependent on them.
Where we are destined to get
air and water...
lt's God's wish!
God's wish? Not mango jelly bar!
Pluck flowers, my friend...
l've to visit temple...
Tender like you...
Beautiful like you...
Flowers...
Disturbing sleep is as sinful
as disturbing penance.
Fools don't have the sense of time.
Stop it, you fool!
l'm grandpa here!
lndeed 'Appadam' grandpa!
l told your father, mother and sister,
l'm telling you again.
Don't call me as and when you wish!
There's a day every week, right?
Call on that day only!
l'll kill you! l'll not show mercy
because you're my youngest grandson.
Cut the call!
This is Akashavani radio station,
now poetry recital!
Now let's listen to Jonnavithula
Ramalingeswara Rao's Coffee hymn!
Coffee every morning
gives real kick...
lts big trouble
if we miss it a day...
lt's sheer luck to get
a good cup of coffee...
Nectar is humbug, my dear men...
O coffee!
You're one of a kind drink
in all the worlds...
That's why l tie you up
in my mouth...
Raise slogans of praise with
our tongue every morning...
O mother of taste, don't make me scold
wife for an early morning bed coffee...
Fresh coffee...Nescafe...bless us
with your divine taste, Brook Bond...
Loved by world over...life giver...
May you flow in every home every hour,
O Goddess of hot beverage...
The aroma of you dripping down in
the steel filter is really deadly...
A little of it can
bring back the dead to life...
Missing you for a day ruins
the day with cranky behaviour...
That's why they get you urgently...
They bring and keep safely to prepare...
And wait patiently till it is served...
The serve a frothy coffee by
pouring it from one cup to another...
Even men from traditional families
go to have a cup of Barista coffee...
They get disappointed
if the shop is closed...
l seek refuge in you, O Goddess Coffee!
Fabulous!
What son?
No problem, carry on.
He's having coffee,
he'll be in a trance.
He won't come out of it for an hour.
lt seems elder one has gone to
San Francisco, did he tell you on phone?
Who is she?
Granddaughter of aunt Subbulu!
The girl who is named after me,
it seems she gave a dance
performance in Tata conference...
Not Tata?
CAT?
Not even that? What's it then?
DATS?
Damn it! That's it!
Telugu people split up
into 3 in a day!
Something is boiling on stove, wait.
Gravy is boiling!
Centrum? No need, son.
He never uses English medicines.
Get something for my knee pain.
Grandson?
Does he want to talk to me?
ln Telugu? No?
Let him talk!
Yes, grandma only!
Grandpa is having coffee.
lf he hears your Telugu,
he'll kill you.
Will you make a cartoon film
on your grandpa?
Does my husband look like
a cartoon orjoker to you?
Hey you...call your father!
Are you cooking everyday or
eating frozen food?
What's the time now there?
Go to sleep.
Okay, she's fine, right?
Tell her l had inquired. Bye!
One must have attached detachment!
What's the use of getting too attached
with parents like your mother?
Did your mother or father
ever come to see you?
Did you ever think about them?
What's this?
Why are you washing my sari?
You wash my dhoti, is it wrong
if l wash your sari?
Moreover when l wash, squeeze
or dry your sari,
wonderful, l'm overwhelmed
by feelings!
Enough!
Every man has BP and diabetes
like God's discus and conch!
Why won't he get affected?
Look at you!
You draw water from well early morning,
sweep the courtyard,
make motifs, cook,
wash clothes, grind batter,
do all the household work,
why would you get affected by ailments?
Hold it!
There's a switch for water, cooking,
switch for making chutney or batter, leave it!
Getting lazy to put the switch,
there's a remote switch now!
At an age when young should
be able to digest stones,
they're eating a handful of tablets,
what bloody times have come!
This sari was brought by Govind.
l couldn't sleep well
when you went out of station.
l would sleep using your sari
as bedspread.
You'd appear in the sari l used!
ln my dream!
Look, Kistappa is bearing fruit
for every leaf! Wonderful!
Look at Madhava, isn't he taking
good care of us?
Look, how he has taken the
responsibility on his shoulders.
Govind too hasn't forgotten the elders!
Look, he too wants to
provide us support!
Hubby!
When l see these flowers,
it makes me remember Meenakshi.
She loves these flowers.
People used to think we were sisters.
Such a long plait, big eyes!
Are you listening?
She loved, married him
and went away to Kharagpur.
Don't know how she is doing now?
Oh God!
She didn't make it to
our youngest son's marriage too.
Did you see how nicely
l've made the garland? lsn't it?
Meenakshi would've done
it much better.
Take it, offer it to your God.
Your comb my hair once in 12 years, yet...
You get to know whatever l think!
That's the problem l've with you.
Comb properly.
Fragrant like Goddess Parvathi's hair.
l've added fragrant roots and
hibiscus flowers to the hair oil.
lt adds fragrance.
Leave it...
what do you lose if l compare?
Shouldn't there be a limit to compare?
Comparing me with Goddess herself!
You're a Goddess to me.
Goddess or Ankalamma?
He's back again!
- Please calm down!
Childishness!
- My foot childishness!
You're too much!
Why are you after my home like bad luck?
What happened now?
lt seems you're telling everyone that
Appadas is growing garlic plants in home.
My will and wish,
l'll grow canabis if not garlic.
Will you behead me for that?
l'll kill you, silly boy!
You shut up! l'll kill if you
come here again, donkey!
Useless donkey!
l'll kill you!
- Please calm down.
Don't be childish like them.
- Who is child?
Are we going to trouble others?
We're living n our own without
anyone seeing us.
Why is he banging the door,
bloody...
What happened now?
He saw me combing your hair
from the door's hole,
he told everyone that old man
is combing grandma's hair.
Just comb her hair,
l'll give her a bath too!
l'll do anything,
she's my wife and my will!
No control on your tongue!
You talk as you like, stubborn man
isn't bothered about others hearing it.
You were a teacher too!
Moreover have 3 Masters Degrees!
What's the use?
No control on emotions!
You talk about self control!
No use of those useless
meditations and Yogas!
Anger is one's enemy,
patience is one's protection!
Correct, l got the poem but
can't grasp the essence of it.
Though you're a cow,
won't you butt if l pinch your tail?
This is Akashavani radio station,
in today's program of classical music,
we're listening instrumental music!
Percussions by Dr. Yella Venkateshwara Rao
and Nemani Somayajulu,
Fabulous!
Two!
l'm going up the ladder to top!
Great! Up the ladder again!
Lord, bless me another big leap!
Gone!
l think Lord heard you,
he gave a kick to take you down!
Get down!
Get down further, that's it!
Hey look there! A parrot is eating
the tender mango beautifully!
lt's a squirrel not a parrot!
l can see clearly the
red beak and green body!
No, it's a squirrel.
l can see clearly the 3 lines drawn
by Lord Rama, it's a squirrel.
You moved my coin! Cheating game!
l'll not accept this!
l don't have the necessity
to play cheating games.
lf you cheat women,
you'll go to hell.
She-devils and vultures
would besiege you there!
lt's my mistake to play
with a cheater like you.
You got cheated, my dear!
Did you add stones of mango?
My left eye was battering
as a sign of bad omen.
l knew there's an impending danger!
When the gravy is boiling, it must
be like churning of sea of milk!
When seasoning, it must be like first
rain and create a storm in the cup!
Must be like my death anniversary!
Family life and gravy gets
tastier as it simmers!
Buchi, remember well!
Don't just sprinkle asafetida
in dishes,
use it in good measure,
it must be at least the
size of a big bead!
lt'll be fabulous!
Vow of silence
l'm dead!
ls it auspicious Ekasi day?
l can't understand you
and you can't...
l'm saying everything is fine and okay!
Nothing else!
What?
Am l like a cow?
Do l eat grass and drop cow dung?
Do you want me to sleep in backyard?
You want me to milk the cow!
Will you make pudding with cow's milk?
She's looking angry, it means
she'll make tamarind rice.
lf she asks for milk,
she'll make pudding!
Thank God, my head would've
broken into two pieces.
Savithri, weekly one day she
takes vow of silence.
But why do we fight always?
l got it.
You listen to me without a protest.
But l don't listen
to what she says, right?
That's the difference.
Do you've sense?
What's the time now?
Noon!
What's this silly cry at noon?
You're becoming like Appadas!
l couldn't sleep last night.
Loose motions!
You eat whatever you can lay
your hands on.
Can't you keep control on
your food intake?
How?
When l see cashew nuts...
Then, eat few leaves of mint
and few grains of pepper.
Pepper? lt's hot!
You won't let earthworms
survive in rains,
you won't let butterflies
to fly in spring,
in summer, you eat vegetarian
and non-vegetarian!
Same cry again!
Shut your mouth and
have a digestive juice!
The moment l sleep,
he's up to something!
What's that?
What happened?
You're bleeding!
Please bear it.
l said bear it, please hold it.
A little turmeric powder will heal it.
God! Don't shout! Bear the pain!
Did you hurt your leg too?
- lt fell!
Won't l give you ask me?
Stolen jaggery and kisses are sweeter,
you've to experience it to understand.
Then, enjoy it!
Kiss is for the jaggery
not to wife!
Shameless man!
This is little personal. Okay?
Okay?
Think about God, it's good!
Always chanting names of sons!
They too were named after Gods!
You gave them the names.
l thought you'd have 1 or 2 children,
so l named the eldest as Krishna.
You gave birth to a son every year,
so l took to the chant of God
to name them.
Did a great job!
Calcium!
Am l man or wall?
lt's burning.
When Meenakshi did this in our marriage,
it didn't burn but was cool.
Wives are always cheap to husbands!
Wash it or else it may burn!
l entered the garden early morning
to get flowers for your prayers, Lord.
The garden was shining bright
in the morning sun!
Flowers were playing happily
in the mother's lap!
Then...
l stood near a plant with flowers...
Bending down a branch...
Seeing this horror...
flowers were horrified...
Cried with tears rolling down
asking will you take our lives?
Hubby!
- What?
Please take out pickles from the jar!
- Okay!
Pickles get tastier as it soaks.
Coconut to eat!
Coconut?
Yes.
- Fabulous!
Why did you remove the ladder
asking me get pickles?
Will you let me make chutney
with coconut?
You silly woman, get the ladder!
Will you bring or
shall l rip out your skin?
Why are you behaving silly
like Keti in puppet show?
Sit silently.
What about your silly acts, Bangarakka?
Get the ladder.
- No way!
Today you'll die in my hands.
Let the sin of killing a woman
affect me, may l go to the hell!
This will happen!
- Enough of empty threats!
You're not coming down
till l grate coconuts.
You'll be born as dog in next life.
ls this life any better than that?
lf l jump from here...
You're not a Leo!
You belong to Aries!
Cheating runs in your family!
Your father is a cheat!
He promised many things but gave
just a nose pin for marriage.
As if yours is Harishchandra's family!
They promised Rs.500 cash and
5 sovereigns of gold,
but got just 3 sovereigns
of gold only!
Moreover it has 3 grams of lac!
Don't grind as you wish,
grind it softly.
Grind it little more.
Check if salt stone is ground or not.
Add pulse! Fry it perfectly.
Only on occasions,
never made any offering to God.
Don't know how the sins
would affect me.
Don't do injustice to me
and that chutney.
Will it be more that
what you did to me?
Had that Draksharamam proposal
been materialized...
Golden waist belt, 6 pairs of
bangles, they promised a chain too!
They didn't want a penny as dowry!
One must be lucky to enjoy life!
No use of thinking now.
Fabulous!
l feel like l'm at the
threshold of heaven!
Your hands create magic!
Look at the holy discus and conch
with holy mark in between.
Your eyes have a problem,
that's why you see holy marks!
Ammi, you tolerate abuses
but not praise.
You always make pots and covers only!
You've forgotten to make lamps.
l would've finished offering
1 lakh lamp prayer.
l told you a lakh times.
You wanted to offer prayers for 16 benefits.
l arranged it.
Then, you said another
special prayer, l said okay.
You gave vermillion of
every one in the village.
l said okay to any prayer
you wanted to offer.
But 1 lakh lamp...
- Again 1 lakh lamp.
lt's bad omen for us.
First we planned it,
your mother fell sick.
Second time we fixed the day
and my father died.
lf you tlk about it,
someone would die!- Silent!
Don't talk about bad things.
Don't connect those two things.
You're lazy to make lamps.
Don't say like that.
Didn't l make thousands of lamps
when you asked and stored it inside?
You put everything l say
in backburner.
Whatever you say l'll carry
it on my head.
Don't argue like a foolish woman.
Yes, l'm foolish,
you're a great man!
No, can you understand
what l am saying!
Go away!
- You go away!
Mad man! Go!
Savithri! Who is greater in nature?
Man or woman?
ln my opinion man is great,
what about you?
l got it.
So little like goat milk.
- That's why they say cow's milk.
Did you drink while milking it?
Thank God!
Goat's milk makes me remember
Mahatma Gandhi!
That great man got us freedom with
little goat milk and few ground nuts.
l think l was studying in class lV,
Gandhi came to Rajahmundry,
we planned to visit and
made cotton cloth using hand weaver!
Piercing through the crowd
in railway station,
do you know how did l reach him?
l couldn't get the opportunity
to garland him,
but l got the opportunity
to touch his holy feet!
When l think of touching his feet,
even today it thrills me!
Really a great man!
Like Einstein said this generation may
not believe Gandhi lived in this country.
You and Gandhi have
many similarities!
lf we remove your love for food.
Love letter?
Love letters for us?
ls it electricity bill?
Pay it before due date,
if not he'll cut the power.
What happened to you?
Looks like you've slipped!
Don't feel shy,
it's natural to enjoy life!
How nice the unripe mangoes are!
Let's make pickles, pluck!
Pluck!
Shall l?
l'll pluck it.
Pluck!
Catch it.
No...no...
- Catch it.
l'm dead!
l thought you'll be weightless
but heavy like a dead calf!
Even a towel would be heavy
in old age.
Okay, get up.
- No need!
You wantonly put me down.
Don't l know your mischief?
Get up...get up....
- l've broken my leg.
lt's burning!
lt's burning!
Please bear it,
you rush for everything.
Am l?
Wait...sit!
Dew!
Searching for me already!
- Just now? You went long back!
l was invited for a function,
you won't let me go out of house
if you're awake.
You stand guard like demoness Lankini!
Did you bring my share of pulse?
- They gave a lot!
Season it for tonight.
Can't digest it at night.
Come...come...
Oh l got you Ardhanareeswara!
l searched for you separately!
Are you both in one place?
Buchi, when l wrote a letter
about my husband's death,
l can't forget the way
you reacted to it,
after that sending money every year
for my son's education,
he got ajob in campus selection,
he wants to seek your
blessings personally,
please bless him,
you've been helping me a lot,
your husband who is allowing you
to do it without a protest,
you both are like Gods to us,
how am l to repay the gratitude...
Always your friend Meenakshi!
lts easy to born as humans,
but difficult to live like humans.
Wake up O sun!
The horizon is turning red!
Why are you toiling like this?
Like a man of many trades!
l'll clean cotton and
you criticize me.
Please come here for a moment.
Come l say!
- Coming! l'm here!
Look there!
How beautiful the butterfly is!
Do you want it?
- l told you to see.
l can't just see,
if you point a finger, l'll do it.
Hold this.
Come children...
To hear little, small,
short, smart stories...
Butterfly!
That's okay! But where's your dhoti?
Hubby!
- What happened?
Rope is cut!
lt was brought when we were
newly married.
We had an angle, right?
- No need of it!
Hubby!
Hubby!
Are you there?
Hubby!
- What?
We got this amulet for Govind
when he was 7 years old.
Amulet with Lord Anjaneya!
Good torchlight,
fell into well and got rusted.
Will it work?
Look here! Silver ring with
Goddess Lakshmi!
lt belongs to Kesava, he tied
thread to tighten it, poor boy!
Offering dispenser!
Crow might have picked and
dropped into well.
Whose milk dispenser is this?
May be Madhava's second son's.
He would've thrown it into well
for giving him castor oil.
Whose is that?
- Who else? Yours!
Shameless man!
This is to cover shame, right?
There's a limit for fun!
This is your third granddaughter's who
is named after you Buchi Lakshmi!
Now l remember!
l got it made by Poli Shetty!
Now l've a real surprize for you!
Show me!
When you came here as
my newly wedded wife,
l brought this from
Chennai Vummidiars for you!
l know, you got this to know
where l am like belling a cat!
Mischievous ideas!
l got it to see you move
around the home like an angel.
lt's best to do this job
which gives returns!
Look, unripe bananas!
How far your cooking has come?
You want any help?
Why will you not?
- Prepare this too.
Always troubles me.
Always after food!
lt means rains produce food!
Food is very important to
the world, right?
lt means food is manifestation of God!
Buchi, first morsel of food
to me is like Lord Shiva!
l'll consecrate it with water!
l'll put a dot with pickle!
l'll offer coriander garland!
Offer mashed pulse!
Lastly l'll cleanse it with curd
and unite it with my soul.
lt's salutations and obeisance to me.
That is devotion and
that is food!
lt seems God writes the names
of eaters on the banana leaf.
When we are born, he signs a document
of how many one has in his or her life!
Once a man completes his
quota of leaves, what's left?
Earth!
But number is secret!
Myth of time!
Take it!
Savoury!
Take 25%! Have it.
One for you, one for me.
- Give!
Look!
This brings to memory
about our marriage band!
Why not?
He played in our marriage.
We almost made a Himalayan effort
to get him paid a rupee.
Don't talk too much, your people
were not any less stingy.
They promised 7 day marriage but
finished on fourth day with 7 feasts.
On the day your people arrived,
they said they'll eat only once,
said next day is Saturday
and would be fasting,
did you eat less?
Two large vessels of tamarind rice,
two big bowls of ginger chutney
were sent to the guest house.
l swear we didn't get a chance
to wash the vessels too!
Finished four pots of buttermilk.
Not only that we sent half acre of
plantains in a bullock cart,
You didn't even leave the
banana peels!
Cooking was like good medicine!
Your people served ghee with grass!
My father said that's more than
enough for your people.
Do you know about 5 jewels
in cooking?
Brinjal delicacy, leaf vegetable,
pumpkin with pulse...- Jack fruit mash!
Plantain gravy, l know all that.
l've heard it millions of times
in these 50 years.
With your grace though l didn't
get to wear diamond rings,
the holes still remain!
Why are you speaking nasty things
without considering your age?
Nasty things?
Nasty things?
You're sprinkling pesticide,
cover your face!
lt kills humans easily but
not the insects.
lt was flowering well,
somebody cast evil eyes on it.
Then, keep a scarecrow
to ward off evil eyes.
No need of scarecrow
to ward off evil, Buchi!
lf you stand here for an hour
every evening letting down your hair,
forget about insects,
not even birds would dare come near.
Marrying you would make me a
scarecrow, what else can l be?
l was very beautiful as
a little girl.
carrying this demon,
l've become like Seetha in Lanka.
Enough of your taunt.
Taunt?
Forget about birds, not even ghosts and
evil spirits would dare come here, Appadas.
Hey you Lankini,
have you made me a scarecrow?
Didn't you feel when you
told to go forest?
Wait, l'll take you to task.
- What will you do, man?
l'm leaving!
l'm leaving!
l'm giving up world to
become a Sanyasi!
Delighted to hear!
l'll never step into this
home again in my life.
l'm saved! So be it!
My heart is burning
for making fun of me.
My entire body is burning,
who am l to complain?
lnsult! l'm leaving home forever!
l don't know anymore Sanskrit,
if you want, leave happily!
Your behaviour is making me
go furious!
Pesarattu is fantastic!
No wife, no children...no home...
These wooden sandals are worse
than a devil like wife.
l'll throw it!
This is happy!
lngratitude beast!
Can't you hear me?
Why would you bother about my sorrow?
Generation gap!
Had it been your mother,
where is she? Where is it?
There's a generation gap
between us too!
Thorn!
Looks like it has entered deeply!
Wait...wait...
l'll remove it, just a minute.
Pesarattu!
- Feed!
Fabulous!
l've told many times but
Anji is eating off the plants!
l've told my children only one thing,
if your childhood is difficult,
you'd live happily all life,
if your childhood is happy,
wait l say!
lf your childhood is happy, you'd
spend rest of life with difficulties.
Advice Anji!
Hubby!
- What?
Anji is missing since morning.
Anji is missing...
Dear! Where's your child?
Where did you go away, dear?
Coming...coming!
Where's our Anji?
Relationships are short lived!
Mother, delivery date of your
daughter-in-law has been given.
Your grandson has sent
a cartoon film, watch it.
Tale of Appadam grandpa's stomach!
As soon as grandpa gets up
early morning,
one spoon of honey and
little lime juice,
then breathing exercise for some time,
l mean Pranayama,
after that breakfast!
Four idlies with coconut chutney,
four vadas with ginger chutney,
with ghee and chili powder,
then one jar full of filter coffee,
little rest,
this isn't a factory siren,
it's siren of grandpa's stomach,
it means lunch time!
lt's lunch time!
Menu,
first copiously mashed pulse,
next is brinjal dish,
then Dappalam with four appalams,
then, finally top it with curd
and mango stone!
Finish it with sweets and
betel leaves!
A commercial break!
lt means grandpa takes a nap!
One getting up at 4 pm,
two corns or four Pootharekulu,
and then a very hot cup of tea,
then he gives a small gap,
after listening to news on radio,
one dibbarotte with
honey sweetened drink,
or tamarind rice with pickle,
along with ajug of cow milk,
then two bananas and two spoons of...
the quota may double or
go triple also.
Poor stomach would go burst
at such times!
Delivery date of Madhava's wife has
been announced, he wants me there.
Go.
- Come means us both!
Let's go, come!
Cooking and eating,
is life that's all?
No visits to holy places
or to see new places!
Let's go to see Hollywood
and Disneyland, come.
He's not calling to take
you around America,
To become a midwife to his wife
and do all the chores.
Both husband and wife
would go to office,
you've to take care of the new born,
no need to tell all that.
l'll do it, is it wrong?
Blood relationship!
You're the root!
They say old gives way to new.
Old is not always good and
new isn't always bad.
lt was said by Kalidas not Appadas.
Get me that box.
We used to get letters for
obsequies of any dead.
We used to sprinkle turmeric
water to accept telegrams.
Whether it is good news
or bad news.
But just a button will get us
to hear and see them!
Though children are not here,
they're before our eyes.
This is communication.
We used to work hard physically
to grind, pound or grate,
then came grinder for your idlies,
mixie for your chutneys,
gas for our cooking!
l'm little happy for using
all these implements.
This is relaxation.
That's why your mother died cooking
using a firewood stove.
So, please respect the old
and welcome the new!
Tell me the truth,
when l speak to children
secretly over cell phone,
didn't you eavesdrop our
conversation and wipe tears?
Did l say anything wrong?
Got any of your old slippers?
Cockroaches are damaging the clothes,
get few naphthalene balls.
Take it.
- Give.
Why have you opened the cloth shop?
Not a shop, do you know what it is?
- What?- See!
Our marriage dress.
My mother presented it.
Presented by eldest son
on sixtieth birthday.
Wait!
What are these?
No need to see, my saris.
Men don't know about it...why..?
Peacock neck colour!
You came here in this sari.
l thought you were like a Goddess.
You wore this sari when you got
pregnant with our first child.
Yes.
This is when we poured berries
on our younger son,
we were fighting like children
with children for the coins,
you pinched me too,
you wore this sari that day!
When l was accepting
President's award,
unable to bear the happiness,
you were in tears ofjoy,
you were in this sari that day!
You were giving this to vessel seller,
l had a fight with you
and hid these two saris!
Mine...absolutely mine!
When l got operated for appendicitis,
you came running to hospital
in anxiety,
you were wearing this sari that day.
When our children celebrated
sixtieth birthday,
you wore this sari that day!
When retired and came home very sad,
you hugged and
wiped my face with this sari!
Enough?
All are different,
Appadas is different.
Keep your leg here.
- Why?
We get good slippers for Rs.100.
Not for money, my dear silly wife!
There's happiness in making it ourselves.
l'm a retired man!
Retired doesn't mean stop working.
Stop doing routine job!
Keep your feet here, keep!
Wait!
- Keep here!
Good!
You try to do everything yourself
and raise my tension!
lt could be a scorpion
or some poisonous insect.
What if it gets serious?
ls it painful?
l know hymn to reduce scorpion
bite's effect.
Please...
Got any relief?
- Got a little relief,
teach me that hymn, if it bites
again, l'll use it myself.
The hymn will not work
if you do it yourself.
There's a condition too!
Teach me, l can use it for others.
l don't know any hymns,
l just prayed to Lord Venkateswara.
What did you pray?
To give your pain to me.
lf l die before you,
how would it be?
Am l that lucky?
Damn lady! So you're waiting
for my death, right?
Why are you asking such questions then?
Sleep without talking.
Death is inevitable!
Early or late, that's all!
Okay, think if you die before me.
- l'm saved!
l don't have to work anymore.
lf you go to heaven alone,
won't l follow you in the next flight?
Won't you let me be happy there also?
Though it is heaven,
how can you spend time without me?
lsn't there a way for us
to go together?
Why not? See!
l'll see how he can take us separately.
Mad man!
Buchi's man!
Good companion and good shade!
Your madam becoming my wife is fruit
of my previous birth's good deeds.
Father!
Nothing, l had to call under
unavoidable circumstances.
Tell me.
You know Seetharamamurthy uncle's son,
l mean who was named after you
as Appadas Hariprasad,
and aunt Venkaya's granddaughter,
l mean who was named after mother,
we decided to get them married in
lndia in our home before you both,
if you say yes, all of us would
come to lndia next month,
l mean to get your blessings.
l'll discuss with mother
and tell you.
Call me tomorrow.
Really? l'm extremely happy!
Again 5 sons, daughters-in-law,
grandchildren,
it'll be fun and frolic
for 10 days here!
What else did he say?
He said he'll fix a date and
come to lndia.
He's superstitious like you.
l'll start making sweets
and savouries.
lt hasn't dawned yet!
lt's 3 am now
lf it's 3 am here,
what's the time there?
Afternoon! Sleep for another hour.
l can't sleep anymore.
At least lie down!
lf he calls again, l'll talk to him.
Okay.
Our Buchi is marrying that boy...
Buchi marrying that boy...
Buchi is marrying Appadas.
Buchi is marrying Appadas!
True!
We'll be as happy as seeing
our marriage again.
How about bride wearing
my marriage sari?
How can l accept if someone
else wears your sari?
Let be granddaughter or some queen!
Buchi is Buchi and sari is sari!
Buchi is Buchi!
Pickle belongs to us...
Gongura chutney too is ours...
Why do we need pizzas, burgers and pasta?
Coconut chutney for idlies...
Ginger chutney for pesarattu...
Honey sweetener for dibbarotte...
if you don't get it, use jaggery...
Hot milk pudding must be eaten fresh
and tamarind rice the next day...
Chilly bajji must burn the tongue...
Vada must float in curd...
Relish 25 mouths full of brinjal delicacy...
Lick the leaf clean
if it is pumpkin gravy...
When jack fruit is in home,
it's obsequies for the dead elders...
Many a generations ate happily making
a delicacy of mashed jack fruit...
Gurazada said one who eats well
gets stronger...
Appadas followed that in letter
and spirit to eat three times a day...
l'm Dollar Dakshinamurthy!
Didn't recognize me?
Father of your second daughter-in-law!
Are you fine?
l don't get time to visit you.
You don't have the patience
to come there.
As my NRl poet friend said,
after reaching the land of dreams,
would motherland appear
in dreams, mother?
That's why unable to bear anymore,
l came here, mother.
l want to eat from your hands
and sleep in your lap.
What's there in lndia?
Cow dung and donkey's egg!
l mean cow dung and donkey's egg!
lf you board AlR lndia flight,
before air hostess gets your coffee,
we'll reach America.
Play with children in between,
if there's time, have a coke.
Father-in-law, you get cow dung
and donkey's egg in any country.
What do we get here?
Affection, love!
Above all mother is here!
Eat well son!
Come children,
mother is serving pickle rice.
Not for him, first me, mother!
Why did it happen like that?
Not serious, right?
Just broke the leg.
How long he'll be in hospital?
Minimum a month, that's why
postponed the marriage by 2 months.
Forget about marriage,
health is more important.
Convince mother somehow!
- She'll kill you.
You should've seen her enthusiasm.
She has made many boxes of sweetmeats.
She may be shocked to hear this.
l'll mange it, son.
Why don't you both come here
after 2 months?
l don't have any objections, but your
mother never steps out of this home.
You know about her, right?
Don't put the blame on mother.
Are you ready to come?
Allow us to be here only!
What happened?
Flight delay or is there
any change in the program?
lt seems he hurt his leg.
l picked up the phone.
Leave it. lt'll happen
when it is destined to happen!
lt's God's will!
You toiled hard to prepare things.
Leave it, l did it for my husband!
Have it!
Let's both have it.
What's the special today?
Nothing, just sweets and
savouries only!
Few fruits and a glass of milk.
Today is Saturday!
Morning you made bitter gourd gravy, right?
No need to eat left over,
moreover today is Saturday.
Tamarind rice and bitter gourd gravy
are tasty next day only!
Will you lose anything
if you fast for a day?
Bitter gourd has medicinal qualities.
lt kills worms in stomach.
lt is blood purifier
and averts skin diseases.
Leave me! lt's there, get it yourself.
l'm fasting, serve yourself.
What a taste!
Heavenly! lt's heaven before me!
Fabulous!
Chew the leaf also along with food.
You can reach heaven with body!
lf God of Death Yama comes here now,
who is he? Markandeya!
lt seems he held the Lord Shiva
in phallus form!
l'll hold this vessel with gravy,
if l smear a little gravy
on Yama's tongue,
forget about taking me with him,
he'll sit to me and eat
like a gargantuan!
What are you eating?
l'm not mad after food like you.
lf l say only fruits l mean it.
See!
What's that?
Black ammonite stone?
Grapes!
Your eyes have a problem.
Useless fruit! l hate that name also.
What did this fruit do...
Does it bring to your memory
Draksharamam proposal?
You'll lose nothing, have few grapes.
How dare you throw those
nasty fruits into my food!
l hate grapes and Draksharamam.
lt's bad omen while eating.
Bad omen!
Will you wash hands in food?
Can you get food again in this life?
That Draksharamam proposal...
- Broaching about that proposal again!
Yes, if you had accepted that
Draksharamam proposal,
your bad time would've ended,
maybe he would've decked you with
jewels and took you around on elephant,
you're going through
hell here with me,
l denied you the life
of an empress!
Even after l've told you this,
you're still eating
those nasty fruits!
Why are you kicking food?
Not kick, l'll strangle and kill you.
Kill me.
- l'll kill you.
Die...die...
- Kill me...
lt'll be good riddance!
Kill me.
- l'll kill you.
l'll hack you!
- Get lost!
Who won now and who lost, Lord?
Couple means tiffs...it's always sweet...
Two instruments making sound
but the rhythm is one...
An old man with young heart is running...
A sixty year old woman is angry...
Two hearts are beating
but the rhythm is one...
Throwing aside the differences...
Shedding tears, they laughed together...
lt's raining,
get up and sleep inside.
Get up...get up...
Get up!
104!
Get up!
Have little food!
Throw up!
l'm feeling cold!
Legs are paining!
Buchi, open your mouth, have little!
l don't want.
- Please have little.
God!
Fortunate woman!
Dying as a married chaste woman!
May you live long as married...
be blessed with long life!
At last you made me offer
the 1 lakh lamp prayer.
You're glowing like
Goddess Lalitha Parameshwari!
l got the best life partner even
God wouldn't have been so lucky.
As you said it would've been good
if you'd accepted that Draksharamam proposal.
You married this lifelong poor man!
Did l give you any pleasure in life?
Bloody life!
Please calm down!
What do l lack?
l want only you in all my lives!
l'm telling you now,
there wasn't any proposal
from Draksharamam!
No Draksharamam proposal?
Really?
What a good news!
Bloody bit...
No Draksharamam proposal!
There's no proposal from Draksharamam!
Lord, it seems there wasn't any
proposal from Draksharamam!
Just one Rama and one Seetha, that's all!
Hey Draksharamam! You're a fake!
You're a fake!
Draksharamam proposal was a fake!
Draksharamam proposal was a fake!
Your madam is a bloody bit...
Draksharamam proposal was a fake!
Draksharamam proposal was a fake!
Why are you still sleeping?
Hubby!
Birth is game...
death is game...
Love in between is game for you...
Relationship is game...
rivalry is game...
End is game for you...
Game is black and white...
Victory of black and white
is a game for you...
Earth is game...Sky is game...
You play the game
keeping me in mystery...
lt's a game, right Lord Shiva?
lt's a game, right, Kesava?
l was scared l would die first.
Now a big burden has eased!
lt's over!
Had l died first,
you may pour turmeric water on me,
God, you know he would've
struggled to live!
First take him and
think about me later.
l used to pray you every day!
Don't think will there be foolish wives
who would wish death of their husbands?
There will be!
l love him to death!
He's scared of darkness.
He's afraid of thunders.
He's afraid of lightning.
lf he wakes up at midnight with hunger,
who would prepare food for him?
Who would fulfill his silly wishes?
Son? Daughter-in-law? Grandson?
Or you?
Answer me!
We merged like gold and lac.
Gold is gone!
Lac remains as residue!
