A pair of eyes, 2 beautiful eyes l saw Right behind the pane of the door
A girl with eyes dark inky black blue So young and fresh is she for sure
A pair of eyes, 2 beautiful eyes l saw
Right behind the pane of the door
A girl with eyes dark inky black blue So young and fresh is she for sure
A pair of eyes, 2 beautiful eyes l saw
Cheeks like apples A glance, the heart to see
This darling treasure will soon entrap Her gait, like a swan grace in every step
A pair of eyes, 2 beautiful eyes l saw Right behind the pane of the door
A girl with eyes dark inky black blue So young and fresh is she for sure
A pair of eyes, 2 beautiful eyes l saw
Signaling and calling out eagerly Smiling with pearl white teeth showing
Playful and coquettish she is all game
Ensnaring the heart with little sulks and making up lovingly
A pair of eyes, 2 beautiful eyes l saw Right behind the pane of the door
A girl with eyes dark inky black blue So young and fresh is she for sure
A pair of eyes, 2 beautiful eyes l saw
Anna

Everything will be alright Hyder
l think my passport problem is really serious
They are creating problems with that old case
They are continuously calling from Kuwait
lf l don't get my passport this time, my job is gone
Why don't we pay them something?
For what?
We'll talk to the Sub-lnspector openly
You think there are police who refuse to listen to reason?
Just come with me
Spent one year in a juvenile home when 13 years old
ln the Mattancherry issue you were jailed for suspicious activities
Also, rumoured to be connected to a group of activists
Tell me now, can we simply hand over his passport?
That's why we say that we have to investigate thoroughly
You can go
- Didn't you hear what he said? - Said what?
They'll investigate everything about you thoroughly and then issue the passport
Was it for this l brought you along here?
When you explain, l feel you are right
When the police argue l feel they are right
My dear uncle, l have not been involved in any case for a long time
l had nothing to do with that Mattancherry fight
lt was Salim'kka who made me sit on the stage for that meeting
And the newspapers took my photo, what was l to do?
l want to escape from all this but these lunatics don't allow me
lf they don't give me my passport l'll break their heads, just wait and see!
Someone dear to me has sung along Said the nightingale through his song

He is also in that flowing stream Just an ordinary man, my dear dream
Look, fill your eyes with the sight of the sea and backwaters so far beyond
As l turned, drop by drop into water

Flowing forever grief stricken in search of shores
Within, my innermost self you became the seven seas
As l turned into clear sparkling waters
Go! Go there
Kathrina...?

lNTERVAL
- What's happening to your Gulf trip? - That won't work out
Do you have to go abroad to make money?
Can't you work with your dad in Ponnani?
All this has been told many times
lf he has to prosper in life first his attitude has to change
There he comes!
This one with a car and the other with a Jhankar(ferry)
Both of them have no brains
What will they earn with such petty jobs? We can only advice isn't it?
l am finding it difficult to manage on my own
Come to Ponnani if possible
- Here take this - No, l don't want it
Keep it my boy!
With those glasses you look like lmran Hashmi (actor)
As long as you don't open your mouth

You pig
You pig...
Look at me, you pig
Come and hit me, you pig
Kill those scoundrels
Rasool run!
Catch him
Rasool take the vehicle
Run and get in
Listen to me Kunjumon
You don't have to say anything
How dare you hit me
Leave me
Rasool! Don't spare anyone Hit them all
Let him go
You pig
Come
What about the favour l asked you? Did you go to the police?
Just get lost will you
Tell me, will it succeed?
l had to spend more fuel for these fellows of Kochi
Mamma even started asking if l had come home to solve their issues
What the heck did you try to achieve? Lucky you were not killed
They deserve it They punched my lkka into pulp
What are you poking at it for so long?
Rasool, let that case alone lt won't work out, let's find someone else
Although they did the attacking Rasool suffered the most from this event
Anna left him
He hung around Marine Drive and Menaka day and night, trying to get her sympathy
But none of his efforts succeeded
Don't you have any better work?
Finally he came to me
Do something my dear Bhai l went to the shop, Shalu drove me away
She won't even pick up my calls At least ask her to answer
Even l sent her my messages
That fellow beat me, that's why l did it He's mad, that boy
Kevin, don't touch my bike Get down
Where in heaven did l find the courage to do all this?
l don't know
Love erases all fears was something l realized when Rasool came with me
l decided to unite them
Rasool?
Quickly, okay?
Why didn't you take my calls? l even sent messages
Why did you beat him?
He beat me up, didn't he?
My friends and ruined my car also What kind of a boy is he?
He is a brat But what's wrong with you?
Aren't you ashamed to pick up a brawl on the streets?
lf this is how it's going to be l don't want to see you any more
What do you want me to do? Do you want me to go beg his forgiveness?
Tell me Anna
l can't stay without seeing you
You know all about me don't you?
lt's almost 20 years since father talked
You met sister, didn't you?
Then there is Kunjumon Hardly matters if he's there or not
l really want to end my life
That was when l met you
Rasool, you also...
Hey! Leave me
Anna!
Go away guys!
l came to give him some broth
- Are you done? - Yes
Go to Ponnani, father had called Don't hang around here anymore
l am not going anywhere
Are you mad? Will you marry her and come here?
Go try to make some money first
Stand on your own 2 feet and we'll think about this
Live with father for some time Make him understand, da
lsn't it better you stay away for sometime at least?
Why are you sitting like this? Love is not the end of the world
You may feel sad and now ln a way its good
Because otherwise you may have to suffer

Everyone knows it
Everyone knows what is happening in this house too, right?

They promise to take care of all that You just have to give your nod of assent
Father! What are you saying? Of course Joseph will agree to this
We must ask her opinion also, shouldn't we?
She will not have any objection
You don't have to interfere This is a family issue

Where is your oar, as you journey into the ocean?

Dear Lord, merciful and loving, may your children rancis and Anna Joseph...
We decide upon something but God decrees something else
This is what happened to me also
Lily
The love l had from 4th grade When we were students at Delta
One way
When we were college mates too l didn't tell her of my love
But Jismon told her of his love
l became just an onlooker
When Jismon betrayed her at least then l should have told her
But...
...my silence finally led her to the Convent
l gave Lily away to God
But l decided l won't let Anna be given away to the Devil
l thought at least she would escape from that house
The wedding will be held in 15 days
l am thinking of cancelling my leave
Otherwise l will have to see her walk out with that Francis
Wrap me around, hold me close
Let this phone be with you Here keep it
Wrap me around, hold me close
Stories Sufi told us about the wonders of love
But never did they warn that love also meant death
Have you brought your woman back home?
My mother should allow me to, right?
Keep repeating this all the time!
Take up more jobs for your living Don't we get houses here?
Bring them here and live together After that, puff up your chest and walk
Useless fellow! Foolish fellow
Love, the wide expanse of ocean
The heart in constant danger of mishap
The ideal wife can be found by one and all She will be purer than a gemstone
The Lords teaches her to trust
His gains increase
She does him only good life long, and never harass
She weaves hair and jute thread into linen
Like a traders ship, she brings food from far
Anna, where were you?
- l went to the bathroom - Have some tea
l don't want it
Married life
Man - Woman
Love is most important in wedded life Equally important is the sexual life
lt is a divine gift

Thereby this session teaches us never to break this divine bond He formed
Hey! Kunjumon They are going away!
Da! He's taking her away What can l do?
When l heard Rasool had taken her away
l was the one who was overjoyed the most
- Kozhikode - l must get down here
You heard what they said, didn't you?
l can't take a decision on this, all by myself
You brought her away, l can't say l will not allow her into the house
But there are 3 girls back at home too How can l ruin their future?
Where are you going?
Bharath'etta, what happened to my request?
Did you speak to Ani?
Can't you stay with me?
Yes, tell me Bharath'etta
Give me a pen
A spreading tree alongside the path Enjoying the sun shine upon its being
And a plant bereft of shade and suffering
One day, unknown to anyone, came together as one
One little bird sprouted wings to fly
Turned to this shade, unknown to sunshine
He came to roost on the branches and the breeze played a melody
Brother, where is this address?
l know where it is Get in
Come, come
Bharathaettan said you'd reach this morning
You reached safely! l am relieved
This place does not have many comforts
You must be very tired after your long journey
Anna, take rest for some time
Come, let's go take a dip in the stream
When they came to know of our affair Rosy's father came with a knife
We just disappeared and came here, to Kurishupara
Everyone here insisted that l convert
What did it matter? l converted
Purushothaman Kammath became Peter
Oh Lord of Seven Hills!
What are you worrying about?
Don't worry, just shower and change into this
l don't know if it will fit you We'll get you one this evening
Don't worry about anything, okay?
- l wish l could get a job - Bharath'ettan did tell me
We'll go meet Monachan after eating our food
Be careful walking around here

Let me see l will try and get you one
Shall l serve some curry my dear?
Here drink some water
Go to the church and make arrangements to get married
Rasool will have to convert
Rasool will not agree
lf Purushotaman can turn into Peter, so can he!
Use this, it will be very cold at night
Rasool, will you convert?
Go declare it in church(sarcastically)
That's what Rosy chechi also says To go to church and convert you
- lf you don't convert nothing will happen - Well, then let nothing happen
Anna, you tell me Should l convert?
No
Rosy, get some water
Your eyes have reddened
lf you open your eyes under water You can see the person you love

Colin came and told us Abu was missing since 4-5 days
Didn't you go today?
- Keep this with you - l don't want it
Come let's have some tea
Look who has come Come in
With shoots newborn and twigs so small
Built a nest both of them to live together
As mist bodies were touched by tender rays of sun in kisses
Brightness spread and light flowed in rivulets
As everything turned into brightness
A spreading tree alongside the path Enjoying the sun shine upon its being
And a plant bereft of shade and suffering
Bye sister
We have only this plant and this tree hereafter
To rest every night on skies, turn into clouds
Like the showers of rain on fresh earth
Today, let it flow out, may it rain in bountiful showers
Come both, the tree and the plant to be together
Anna?
Wait, Thomas l am coming too
Rasool?
- Are you Rasool? - Yes

An act of bravado any ordinary man of Mattancherry usually would do...
...cost Abu his life
Everything was going on fine

They took care of him and put us behind bars!
At the most 4 months You don't worry

Stories Sufi told us about the wonders of love
But never did they warn that love also meant death

Days and nights in this world where Waves of danger rise up and thrash
Love, the wide expanse of ocean The heart in constant danger of mishap
