No problem with that.

Where is that ball?

I have kept it safely.

For what?

Simply.

Shall, I go?

Look, has Rameshan, given

name for science exhibition?

Yes, I have.

My uncle has told he would prepare

a chart for me. What about Rameshan?

I'm making a trick?

"Come with the wings, like small

birds to flutter in young sun shine"

"With the tender honey dipped

words to hoot like a black studded bird"

"ln the shadow of laughter and play"

"To commence in a

beautiful manner"

"With the tender smile like a small

anklets worn, the heart is full"

"The palm leaves sparrow, will you

come swinging in the winds?"

This is not clear.

You see now.

Did it become clear now?

Not clear.

You check now.

No, not at all.

Now is it clear now?

Get lost you naughty!

Now is it clear?

In our village, TV was there in

the house of Sunnychayan,

...who had gone to America.

We used to watch TV along

with the commentary of...

...Sunnychayan's mother.

During that time, there was

only one channel, Doordarshan.

Children who had set

that arrow, is it Lakshanan?

Mother its not Lakshanan,

its Lakshmanan.

I know all that, those who had come

for seeing must watch and then go.

Don't act like a teacher,

did you hear that?

We grew up like that, by

playing cricket in the grounds...

...in the paddy fields...

...getting scoldings from the family,

by watching Doordarshan.

I saw the semi-final world cup

in '87 by bunking the class.

But in the semi-final

we failed with the England.

At certain times when the game

gets really tensed in the last over,

At that time..

My god!

Right from the morning itself,

will sit in front of the box.

What an idiotic game is this fellows?

This mother had spoiled everything,

...it was the last ball, now

the game will be over.

Mother, this is the game of cricket.

Yes, you fellows. To play and

to see the game lot of lunatics.

When the TV came to library, we

bid goodbye to Sunnychayan's house...

...and boasting of mother.

So in my teenage period, god

in the costume of a teenage,

...some other person was

entered in to the grounds.

This is our cricket team. 'Friends 11'

This is Pappettan. Pappettan

was our team captain.

Not only was the team captain, but

also one who told the last word...

...in all the things among us.

This is the Babukuttan,

...he is the wicketkeeper, blower

and batsman among us.

Our all rounder.

Sajiettan was our opening blower,

we used to call him Ambrose Sajietten.

Was it because of the speed of

the ball or it because of that form,

...that name was given?

Mani, catch the ball.

Mani, I have never seen

any ball fielded by Mani.

He is one of the best

fielders among us. Chandru.
