'Apple of my eye; my dearest'
Why is uncle going overboard
with his sacred antics?
I don't know who he'll target
this year to tarnish their life
Why is your house locked?
What are you doing here?
Where is your interest due?
- I'll pay you soon, sir
- What's with you?
What is this disguise?
Lord Karna, sir
You are unable to pay
the interest for your loan
And you'll dress up
as the generous king Karna, huh?
"In the paddy fields lush and green
Indian beech trees with flowers seen"
"In the highways bustling with activity
tamarind trees blossom in plenty"
"In directions 8, everywhere
our neem trees rustle with fanfare"
"Knowing you'll be coming, at that moment
the flowers open their eyes in excitement"
"One who graced Vaigai river as our savior
Our Chozhavandhan Mariamma we favor"
"Shall I receive You with love?"
"Our Goddess who came from above"
"Shall I welcome You with happiness
One who wears a garland of durva grass?"
"Shall I invite You with gratitude forever
One who cures chicken pox in the summer?"
"Come, o' Goddess of rain"
"The leafy canopied ghaf tree
was cut down with utmost sanctity"
"To carry my favorite deity
carved as a casket sturdy"
"Inside that wooden casket
my kohl lined deity basked"
"Epitome of fury
Avatar of Kali"
Do you know how our Mariamma
was enclosed in that casket?
"One with turmeric paste applied
With dhavanam's perfume alongside"
"Shall I call my deity to bless us
The copper statue so wondrous?"
"Come, Goddess Shakthi"
At a time when there was no famine
when pangs of hunger attacked us
When all these people assembled
and wondered what to do
Lord Krsna commanded Varuna
the God of rain and said
Shower rain in abundance
Heavy rains lashed
flooding the land it seems
The casket with our Goddess
carried by the ripples of the Palar river
In the waters sweet as honey
floats the casket of our Mariamma
Your casket slides to the banks green
with the waters gently lapping in between
When everyone wondered
what this casket contained
Our deity Mariamma dear
to bring us prosperity here
"Goddess in a casket, shall I welcome You?
The renowned one, who comes to our rescue"
"Shall I welcome You, avatar of Shakti?
One with name and fame in totality"
"Goddess Cholavandhan Mariamma"
"Our Chozhavandhan Mariamma, our savior
Our Goddess whom we fear and favor"
"Shall I welcome our Sornamuthu Mariamma?"
Tell now
Announce your presence
Within a year
in your family
...you'll face a problem
with either a lady or land
Wake up!
Good morning, madam
Welcome
- Greetings, madam
- Good day
Welcome, madam
Hello
Thank you
Come this way
Please take your seat
All the best
Namaste, madam
Best wishes, madam
Good wishes
Good morning, madam
Good morning, madam
You should be in that seat
But you have seated her
Attend to your work
Lot of loans are pending
Many have not repaid
Loans approved on document basis
have also been forged
Who approved this?
Why haven't so many farmers
paid back their loans?
Who will take up
the responsibility of this loss?
Madam, the problem here is-
Villagers are not soft like the city bred
They may be a bit violent
I am mentioning this because many
of our officers had bad experiences
Where there is honesty
both anger and violence co exist
It's alright
We'll face that too
So bring all the pending files to my notice
- Okay
- Okay, madam
Thank you!
It's rare nowadays for girls
to work in villages
Why are you scaring them?
Will they dole out loans
with open arms in your city?
Don't be unrealistic
