1
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:01,079
So, what I am about to say is that

2
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:03,399
no writer holds back from writing about

3
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:06,519
his own personal experiences at some point.

4
00:01:07,239 --> 00:01:09,640
Likewise, he could have used something

5
00:01:09,719 --> 00:01:11,680
he has seen or heard or closely observed

6
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:14,359
as a setting for a story.

7
00:01:15,799 --> 00:01:20,239
MT is now a synonym for modernity
in Malayalam literature.

8
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:25,439
The thoughts, the actions and the emotions
of his characters

9
00:01:26,239 --> 00:01:29,680
have a timeless quality
because of their modernity.

10
00:01:30,439 --> 00:01:31,799
When I was young,

11
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:36,799
people who did not behave in
a conventional manner were called ‘modern’.

12
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:39,359
During a certain period,
those who believed in modernity

13
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:42,000
desired to deliberately break free of bonds

14
00:01:42,719 --> 00:01:45,040
associated with conventional relationships.

15
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:46,840
However, it often happened that

16
00:01:47,079 --> 00:01:50,079
they ultimately found comfort
only in such relationships.

17
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:54,480
You would have understood
which story I am speaking about,

18
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:55,640
wouldn’t you?

19
00:01:58,879 --> 00:02:03,439
Wafting over the Thaannikkunnu hill

20
00:02:03,719 --> 00:02:08,520
And over the banks of
the silvery Nila river

21
00:02:08,879 --> 00:02:16,039
O come to me, my lonely dreams

22
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:21,439
As you wander continually
over my mindscapes

23
00:02:26,439 --> 00:02:36,400
Wafting over the Thaannikkunnu hill

24
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:10,000
'KADALKAATTU'
(Sea Breeze)

25
00:03:14,439 --> 00:03:15,240
Carefully!

26
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:21,280
Velayudhan, didn’t they
bring the urea yesterday?

27
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:22,080
They did, Thamburatti.

28
00:03:22,199 --> 00:03:23,680
There, they’re spreading it
under the coconut palms.

29
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:27,439
Amma, can I have an areca-nut?

30
00:03:27,439 --> 00:03:28,280
Yes, go that way.

31
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:32,400
- Babymol! Don’t run, walk slowly.
- Okay.

32
00:03:32,439 --> 00:03:38,240
Go girl, go girl, let’s go and get
The sheafs of grain

33
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:39,520
Babymol, come here!

34
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:40,280
I’m coming.

35
00:03:42,039 --> 00:03:44,000
We could plant some areca-nut saplings

36
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:46,560
in that empty space on the north.

37
00:03:46,919 --> 00:03:48,840
The man in the Agricultural office
was saying

38
00:03:49,159 --> 00:03:50,960
that a new sort of sapling has come.

39
00:03:51,319 --> 00:03:54,000
When your father was alive,

40
00:03:54,159 --> 00:03:56,039
that space used to be
full of coconut palms.

41
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:57,719
They were all destroyed
by disease in the shoots.

42
00:03:58,199 --> 00:03:59,000
I remember…

43
00:03:59,199 --> 00:04:03,960
If you like, we can plant some colocasia
and tapioca as well in the eastern field.

44
00:04:04,919 --> 00:04:05,879
Let Keshavettan, my husband,
come, Chennappa.

45
00:04:05,919 --> 00:04:08,439
We’ll ask him and then decide.

46
00:04:10,719 --> 00:04:11,479
Now throw that away!

47
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:15,560
Don’t mix them all up,
keep what you plucked today apart.

48
00:04:15,639 --> 00:04:17,120
- Alright.
- Keep those separately.

49
00:04:17,319 --> 00:04:19,480
Looks a lot less this time around.

50
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:22,800
Keep those that side.

51
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:24,120
Yes, right there.

52
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:31,800
There’s a little too much,
right, Gopala?

53
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:32,439
A little, yes.

54
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:36,759
Abubakkar and Suleiman came a while ago
asking for coconuts and areca nuts.

55
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:38,759
Keshavettan will come this Saturday.
We’ll see then.

56
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:42,000
He hasn’t been here for a month now.

57
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:45,720
It’s only an hour’s drive
by car to the office.

58
00:04:45,959 --> 00:04:46,920
But what’s to be done,

59
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:50,439
he can’t stay here because
the salt-laden breeze makes him breathless.

60
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:52,839
And he has no free time at all
with all the work in the office.

61
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:55,680
He’ll come for sure this Saturday.

62
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:09,079
What are you thinking of, Keshav?

63
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,399
Nothing.
Just enjoying the moment.

64
00:05:15,519 --> 00:05:17,600
There’s this breeze here which
I never tire of enjoying.

65
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:19,800
I wish I could stay here
forever...

66
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:24,920
And I can’t get enough
of you, my love.

67
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:30,680
Our happiness should never cease,
like these waves.

68
00:05:32,319 --> 00:05:36,079
Someday...

69
00:05:36,879 --> 00:05:40,959
When leaves start to fall

70
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:45,720
- There’s a wave coming!
- We lay by each other

71
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:52,480
Our love is forever

72
00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,120
Keshavetta! Get up!

73
00:06:24,319 --> 00:06:26,600
Why did you wake up so early, Keshav?

74
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:30,680
It’s not fair!

75
00:06:33,879 --> 00:06:35,360
It’s 8.30, my dear Margaret,

76
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:37,000
I have to go.

77
00:06:37,759 --> 00:06:39,920
Please don’t go! Please!

78
00:06:44,879 --> 00:06:45,639
I told you,

79
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:47,000
I have a meeting today.

80
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:51,439
I have to go,

81
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:55,360
Tell them some excuse.

82
00:06:58,079 --> 00:06:58,959
I’ll come in the evening.

83
00:07:32,839 --> 00:07:33,800
Oh, you’re here.

84
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:35,040
- Yes, Sir.
- Good.

85
00:07:38,839 --> 00:07:42,000
Francis is on his way tomorrow
to sign the dealership agreement.

86
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:43,800
So do keep things ready.

87
00:07:44,879 --> 00:07:45,680
Okay, Mr. David.

88
00:07:46,079 --> 00:07:47,079
I’ve prepared the final deed.

89
00:07:47,839 --> 00:07:50,639
The auditors will be here next week.

90
00:07:51,279 --> 00:07:53,439
I know. Mr. Subramaniam
had called me this morning.

91
00:07:57,439 --> 00:08:01,279
Tell the accounting team to
work overtime if it’s necessary, okay?

92
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:08,399
Mathews, I'd like to see you
in my office now.

93
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:21,759
[Phone rings]

94
00:08:26,079 --> 00:08:26,720
Hello!

95
00:08:26,839 --> 00:08:28,600
This is me, Keshavettan, Bharathi.

96
00:08:29,199 --> 00:08:30,079
Are you busy?

97
00:08:30,319 --> 00:08:31,800
When am I not busy, Bharathi?

98
00:08:32,159 --> 00:08:34,440
Just a little while ago, the
Manager Sahib came and asked

99
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:36,480
is the file ready,
are the company files written up.

100
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:37,480
Not a minute’s respite!

101
00:08:38,039 --> 00:08:39,440
Hello. What’s up?

102
00:08:39,759 --> 00:08:40,600
Anything particular?

103
00:08:41,039 --> 00:08:44,440
It’s nothing.
Will you come here at least this week?

104
00:08:44,759 --> 00:08:46,039
That is, if you’re not too busy.

105
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:48,159
Let me see, I’ll come if I can.

106
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:50,480
Is your cough better now,
and your breathlessness?

107
00:08:50,639 --> 00:08:52,279
Are you taking your tablets regularly?

108
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:55,559
However busy you are,
don’t put off taking your medicines.

109
00:08:55,799 --> 00:08:56,440
Yeah, okay, okay.

110

Amma, my medicine!

111
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:01,879
When you come, bring Mol’s
medicine from town...

112
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:04,759
the one the doctor prescribed last time.

113
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:07,799
I’ll bring it. I’ve kept the prescription
in my purse so that I don’t forget.

114
00:09:08,399 --> 00:09:09,759
I’ll try and come by evening on Saturday.

115
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:11,399
Don’t call me every now and then like this
when I’m so busy.

116
00:09:11,639 --> 00:09:12,159
Put the phone down now.

117
00:09:17,399 --> 00:09:18,799

You won’t have to wait
that long, my darling.

Drink this asavam, Mol.
It’s an ayurvedic medicine.

143
00:11:07,399 --> 00:11:09,200
I don’t want to!

144

Drink it, you’re a good girl,
aren’t you?

- All your pain will go away.
- No, it's bitter.

Father will bring you the
the English medicine when he comes.

151
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:34,240
Take this asavam till then.

152
00:11:34,519 --> 00:11:36,799

we can get married?

can’t wait any longer.

162
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:34,159

about going there today

180
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:07,600
Caesar!

181
00:14:08,159 --> 00:14:08,960
Don’t bite me!

182
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:09,960
You’re standing here, Mol,

183
00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:13,960
while Nani Amma’s looking for you
everywhere, to give you your milk.

184
00:14:14,039 --> 00:14:14,960
Come and drink your milk.

185
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:17,360
When is Father coming?

186
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:19,759
I don’t know.
I called but I didn’t get him.

187
00:14:20,879 --> 00:14:23,240
Maybe he’ll be here by dusk.
Come inside, Mol.

188
00:14:24,399 --> 00:14:26,440
My father will be here by dusk.

189
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:29,080
What, you’re not pleased?

190
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:36,159
Come sparrow, come on, sparrow

191
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:40,919
Keshavan Sir, isn’t it?

192
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:46,120
Last week, in the Chamber Hall, you took a
class on new trends in the marketing scene.

193
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:47,480
I attended that class.

194
00:14:47,759 --> 00:14:48,840
My name is Siddharthan.

195
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:50,919
That class was very useful to me, Sir.

196
00:14:51,159 --> 00:14:52,080
You are really great, Sir!

197
00:15:05,919 --> 00:15:07,799
‘Your class was really useful, Sir.

198
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:09,399
You’re really great, Sir!’

199

Where’s Achuthan?

200
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:39,000
Achu Ettan’s taken Karambi,
the cow to the animal hospital.

201
00:15:39,279 --> 00:15:40,120
She’s pregnant.

202
00:15:40,399 --> 00:15:41,799
- Open the gate quickly!
- Yes.

203
00:15:58,639 --> 00:15:59,320
Your suitcase?

204
00:15:59,799 --> 00:16:00,360
I didn’t bring it.

205
00:16:00,799 --> 00:16:01,919

207
00:16:05,919 --> 00:16:06,559

209
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:33,200
Babymol!

210
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:37,559
You’ve come, Keshavetta.

211
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:40,519
Babymol’s having dinner.

212
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:41,679
So early?

213
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:42,960
It’s not that early.

214
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:45,720
Do you want coffee or
shall I mix some Horlicks?

215
00:16:46,279 --> 00:16:47,120
Just a glass of water will do.

216
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:56,200
Will you be leaving
tomorrow itself, Father?

217
00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:57,600
No, Mol, I'll be here for a few days.

218
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:02,240
Sit down there.

219
00:17:06,799 --> 00:17:08,200
Does your stomach hurt these days?

220
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:10,440
Sometimes. Then Amma gives me medicine.

221
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:13,160
- What medicine?
- An ayurvedic asavam.

222
00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:19,759
Here, biscuits.
I brought them for you.

223
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:22,839
Didn’t you bring my medicine?

224
00:17:23,599 --> 00:17:25,200
Amma said you’d bring it.

225
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:27,200
No, Mol, I didn’t get it.

226
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:30,359
I asked for it in many places.
It seems it’s not available now.

227
00:17:30,759 --> 00:17:33,039
We’ll have to call the doctor and
ask him to prescribe some other medicine.

228
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:35,880
I’ll call him.
I have the prescription with me.

229
00:17:36,799 --> 00:17:38,160
How’s your asthma, Keshavettan?

230
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:39,720
Do you have wheezing at night?

231
00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:41,319
No. It’s much better.

232
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:44,240
In the town,
there’s no sea breeze to trouble me.

233
00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:47,319
...such a relief!

234
00:17:47,559 --> 00:17:48,559
Are you taking your tablets?

235
00:17:48,759 --> 00:17:49,920
Yes, regularly.

236
00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:52,200
You shouldn’t forget
amidst your load of work.

237
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:55,160
No, I won’t. And I’ve told
the boy to remind me as well.

238
00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:58,640
I’ll bring a dhoti for you to change into.

239
00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:07,480
- Aren’t you going to school?
- Yes.

240
00:18:08,279 --> 00:18:09,200
Does Master scold you?

241
00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:11,039
Not Master, she’s ‘Teacher’.

242
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:13,960
How many times I’ve told you, Father.

243
00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:15,160
Uh, oh!

244
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:17,960
Do you know all the poems
in your book by heart?

245
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:22,680
Yes and Teacher taught us the sparrow’s
song as well in the class where we play.

246
00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:24,799
Really? What lesson are you doing now?

247
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:27,680
- ‘Valavanchi Manjadi’.
- What?

248
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:29,640
‘Valavanchi Manjadi’.

249
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:32,960
Where are you going?

250
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:36,000
I forgot to give Caesar his ball of rice.

251
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:54,160
Do move to the other chair.

252
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:55,880
There’s a strong breeze
blowing through the window.

253
00:18:56,319 --> 00:18:57,759
You don’t want to catch a cold.

254
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:04,480
The General Manager turned up last Sunday.

255
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:05,839
That’s why I could not come.

256
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:09,079
I was worried that you might be unwell.

257
00:19:09,279 --> 00:19:11,359
I even thought of sending Gopalan there.

258
00:19:11,759 --> 00:19:13,200
Then I decided to call you.

259
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:15,240
That’s why I called that day.

260
00:19:15,799 --> 00:19:17,319
I knew I was disturbing you.

261
00:19:17,759 --> 00:19:19,119
I just needed peace of mind.

262
00:19:20,079 --> 00:19:22,920
I wanted to make a quick visit,
but the car was in the workshop.

263
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:29,720
People came two or three times,
for the coconuts and areca nuts.

264
00:19:29,759 --> 00:19:31,319
I said would give them only after you came.

265
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:32,359
Couldn’t you have sold them?

266
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:34,440
There’s no point letting them
lie there and wither.

267
00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:39,319
As for me it’s the financial year’s end,
I don’t have a minute to spare.

268
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:42,119
We might even have to ask
the staff to come in on Sundays.

269
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:44,920
And suffer their curses as well!

270
00:19:46,559 --> 00:19:49,039
I’ll ask Nani Amma to heat your bath water.

Caesar, it seems
they can’t get my medicine anywhere!

272
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:02,039
Father looked for it all over.

273
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:04,480
What sort of medicine
do you think it could be?

274
00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:11,799
Don’t you give Caesar a bath?

275
00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:14,279
Yes, on sunny days.

00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:07,680
his only goal was,
‘I must somehow succeed!’

355
00:26:15,519 --> 00:26:16,240
Aren’t you going to bed?

356
00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:43,519
Life was a battle...

357
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:47,880
and I had to survive,

358
00:26:49,079 --> 00:26:50,920
to prove to the world
that I’m a self-made man.

359
00:26:59,119 --> 00:26:59,680
So...

360
00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:02,759
self-made men do not marry.

361
00:27:23,279 --> 00:27:24,400
Keshav!

362
00:28:14,079 --> 00:28:14,799
Keshavetta.

363
00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:16,880
Gopalan’s asking for you.

364
00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:18,000
Okay, I'm coming.

365
00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:28,160
Why did you get up early?

366
00:28:29,839 --> 00:28:30,440
I have to go.

367
00:28:31,839 --> 00:28:33,559
I had forgotten
that there’s a case tomorrow.

368
00:28:35,079 --> 00:28:36,079
I must meet the lawyer today

369
00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:38,519
and discuss several details.

370
00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:47,359
I’ll come back by evening.

371
00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:50,400
Breakfast is ready.

372
00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:51,519
I’ll serve it now.

373
00:28:52,039 --> 00:28:52,920
Have your bath first.

374
00:28:53,599 --> 00:28:55,720
I’ll ask Nani Amma to get hot water.

375
00:28:56,920 --> 00:28:57,480
Nani Amma…

376
00:28:57,480 --> 00:29:00,039
- Yes?
- Heat water for Keshavettan.

377
00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:14,920
Babymol! Get up!

378
00:29:29,759 --> 00:29:31,519
- Will you come back early this evening?
- 'NARAYANALAYAM'

379
00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:32,680
I'll see.

380
00:29:37,039 --> 00:29:38,599
Should I speak to the lady doctor
on my way out?

381
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:39,240
No.

382
00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:41,240
I’ll talk to her anyway
and tell her how you are.

383
00:29:42,039 --> 00:29:43,359
- Here.
- Are you leaving, Father?

384
00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:46,119
Ah, you’re up, Babymol?

385
00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:49,920
I have some urgent work.

386
00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:51,160
I’ll come back by evening.

387
00:29:52,079 --> 00:29:53,359
What should I bring you when I come?

388
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:54,480
Um, um...

389
00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:56,119
You don’t want anything?

390
00:29:56,640 --> 00:29:57,240
No.

391
00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:14,680
Achuthan! Open the gate.

392
00:30:40,039 --> 00:30:41,480
Sukumaretta!

393
00:30:42,519 --> 00:30:43,359
Is no one here?

394
00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:45,480
No, they’ve all gone out.

395
00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:47,680
Do you know where they’ve gone?

396
00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:49,000
To church, they said.

397
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:50,519
Church?

398
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:52,480
They said there was some function there.

399
00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:54,559
All right.

400
00:31:10,279 --> 00:31:14,440
[Singing wedding song]

401
00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:13,720
Hello, Keshav!

402
00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:19,799
Vincent,

403
00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:21,400
meet my friend, Keshav.

404
00:32:21,799 --> 00:32:22,839
Hello, Keshav.

405
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:26,839
Vincent. Nice meeting you.

406
00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:29,039
Join us for lunch.

407
00:32:29,519 --> 00:32:31,039
No, I need to leave.

408
00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:33,519
I have a few urgent matters to attend to.

409
00:32:34,319 --> 00:32:35,599
Look, Joyce Aunty’s calling us.

410
00:32:35,799 --> 00:32:37,519
- Okay, see you.
- Bye Keshav.

411
00:33:54,519 --> 00:33:56,440
Caesar! Father’s come!

412
00:34:03,519 --> 00:34:04,880
Father!

413
00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:12,480
How’s your stomach ache?

414
00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:13,960
I’ve brought your medicine.

415
00:34:14,199 --> 00:34:16,360
My stomach ache has all gone, Father!

416
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:22,000
Caesar!

417
00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:26,480
Come, Caesar.

418
00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:34,880
You’re early. Shall I make tea?

419
00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:37,280
No.

420
00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:39,119
I have a bad headache.

421
00:34:40,639 --> 00:34:41,280
Let me lie down.

422
00:35:11,559 --> 00:35:12,519
Did you see the lawyer?

423
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:13,559
Mmm...

424
00:35:17,039 --> 00:35:19,000
Do you have to go to court again tomorrow?

425
00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:22,320
No,

426
00:35:23,159 --> 00:35:24,039
he’ll see to things.

427
00:35:30,079 --> 00:35:32,079
Why don’t I take leave
till your delivery is over?

428
00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:37,320
I’ll vacate the house in town.

429
00:35:41,599 --> 00:35:42,199
I’m fed up.

430
00:35:43,679 --> 00:35:44,760
And your breathlessness?

431
00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:47,360
Won’t the sea breeze make it worse?

432
00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:53,519
No, I’m feeling much better.

433
00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:55,880
I can go to the office...

434
00:35:56,880 --> 00:35:57,920
from here.
