Thankam (തങ്കം)

You are the goddess of wealth who reigns over all fourteen worlds

I am only your servant, a human, you are the one who provides for me

You embody eight forms of the divine, The Goddess of wisdom and rage as well

Without you, this world is a so grim

Oh, the spring of the soul-woods, where sorrow and happiness co-exist as creepers

The treasure in a cave sought by both the destitute and fortune seekers

Oh Goddess, you are the way and the viaticum

You are both the good and the bad omen

You, as the bestower of wealth, food and bravery take various forms

Seated on the lotus in the ocean of milk

The houses where you live, are believed to be...

...inexhaustible ocean of gold

Oh the dream lake, formed in the veins of a wasted city

Oh Goddess Lakshmi, you may embrace the reborn serenity of countrysides

You are the goddess of wealth who reigns over all fourteen worlds

I am only your servant, a human, you are the one who provides for me

You embody eight forms of the divine, The Goddess of wisdom and rage as well

Without you, this world is a so grim

Oh, the spring of the soul-woods, where sorrow and happiness co-exist as creepers

The treasure in a cave sought by both the destitute and fortune seekers

That's not my issue... -Ah...

Why is he not returning my call? Would I eat him alive?

That's right, when the phone goes unanswered, we panic

Yes...

I will let you know the moment he lands here

Will you, son? -What a question?

How long have we known each other for?

These guys are novices

I mean, him

Yes...yes

You don't trust me?

You're both jerks. Don't try to run me over

Hey never

Okay then, let me know when he arrives

Okay. I will call

Look, Kannan...

Why don't you settle her outstanding bills?

You, of all people, should not say that

Don't be serious -I am not

What? Aren't you spitting out accounts?

I don't want to irritate you this early in the morning.

Very good...You are really great

Look bro, sister's stuff of 1.9... -Keep your mouth shut...Arh...

Meow...Meow

Enough...come on, go play there let dad sleep

Hmm...? -Hmm...?

Kannan, better you park some where else I play powerful shots

Stop bragging and play -You bowl

Hey, Kannan dear...

Have you had tea? -I had

It's Kannan! -Come on, Kannan

This is the usual lunchtime game

Oh...lunch! it's 4 PM now

Don't we need to relax a little? Is there a healthier game than this?

Thanks for that release, man

Oh...then...

Muthu, I have a small request

Can you arrange 'two' from her for me before this trip?

Hmm...

Heh...! You agreed?

No, I did not. I was thinking -Arh...

She won't trust me again, but you can make it work

Play your hand, bro

You are very talented, Muthu

No...no...I am good for nothing -Hey...

You may even slightly degrade me before her

She likes it -Hands off, I will play

Hmm...hmm

Bini, I'm in the middle of something, I'll call you later, OK?

Alright, then

What were we talking about, Muthu?

We were just badmouthing Kannan -My memory is weak these days

He is very smart and intelligent, no doubt

Don't tell me that, You should not encourage this

I have lost the trust in him

He is into some off the track affairs. Untrustworthy, I would say

What do you mean by it?

I have to take him with me for a trip to Mumbai, for a couple of days

Is there any problem in it?

Nothing like that, he can be trusted in that sense

I was just going with the flow... -I got a little scared

Haven't we seen many ups and downs? -Hmm...

Creating success is simple, but maintaining it is hard

My sister, what a quote! It ought to be kept here in a frame

I need to make a call... Do you want to weigh this again?

No need -Alright, then

Get me a packet

Don't look there, she's at the window

That was a little embarrassing

Shh...

Sheena, Idly is finished

Ah...Kannan, come sit -Muthu

Hmm... Have some...

No, I've already had my breakfast -Have some beef...

Oh, it's beef? I'll then have a little

Hey...get some Idly -Coming

One is enough -Have it man

How's Keerthy? -She's good

I'm done -Is she doing well? -Yes

One last piece -No, it's enough

Have it...I will bring tea

Have it, man

Muthu, I have a request

Want an omelet? -Nothing like that

Could you drop me off in Coimbatore? Tomorrow, I have to go to Bombay from there

You should not have asked me, knowing my situation

The Ollur Rummy tournament is underway

As the defending champion, I cannot miss it. You ask some one else

Hey Muthu...we'll go, stay the night there,

I will leave to Mumbai from there and you can come back in the morning

Hey, it won't work -Listen...

I should be slapped with a chappal for having faith in you.

Don't get offended...You are a dead beat

Do you have any seriousness?

Heck...are you stupid or what!

That's not the issue -What's not?
