Scene 1
--------
It was a place where 20 families were living around. The sound was the one thing that could not be stopped in the neighbourhood. Everyone had to talk loud as the sound from the nearby cinema theatre was dominating and because of that, many grandies almost lost their hearing capablities. The lights also go off late around 1:00 AM, when the daddy's come back after a hectic work schedule, driving taxis, working as mechanics, theatre operators etc., Kathir Narayan was the only son who had lost his father and was completely raised by his mother Janaki.
Scene 2
--------
Even before Sun wanted to come, many families woke up so early to start another day of tight schedule. Some were drawing water from the well, some were cleaning their last night vessels and some grand fathers back up waiting and counting on their D-Day. Kathir's next door neighbour's daughter is called Malathy. Malathy's mother was drawing some rangoli in front of her house. On the oppsite side, Balaji's (kathir's friend) grand father was reading the newspaper upside down but mainly watching Malathy's mother doing the rangoli, with a keen and a wicked look.
Scene 3
--------
Janaki was calling his son kathir from all over the place and Kathir came down running from the open stairs above. He knew that his mother is going to shout but asked, "What ma" in a fearing tone. His mother came close to him and slapped him politely and asked him to stop playing cricket in the open stairs. While kathir tried to lie that he was not playing cricket, she warned him to not tell any lies and he wont get food if he lies. She also asked why is he doing the same thing even after warning so many times. With a vexed voice, she finally said that he won't see her alive if he continues to be playing cricket for ever. Her voice finally came down with a easy tone." She said, "I just came back from your aunt's place and the moment I came in, I was looking for you but you were playing cricket so early in the morning. Please don't spoil your health Kathir. Our family badly needs you."
Kathir could not see her mother crying and told her that he won't be playing cricket anymore. Hearing that, her eyes ran into tears. She also said, "Kathir. I know that how cruel of a mother I am to stop you from playing in such a cream age called the teenage. I am not asking you to totally not play cricket but to have it in control. The reason I am saying is because of our family. We need to give a good life to your sister and I want you to become a person who can boldly compete with anyone out there who is rich. After dad passed away, I've been always thinking about this as my goal and I don't know if I will be even alive to see if it becomes a reality. So please don't mistake me kathir."
Most of what they were talking was kind of heard by people around in the community and kathir was quite embarrased and was wondering if Malathy, the opposite door girl would have heard all of this. He slowly went inside his room and on the way he gave a good banging on to his sisters(Rekha) head and shouted "you dog" before entering his room. Maaaaaaa, kathir is hitting me and Kathirrrrrrrrr, stop doing that to Rekha, were the successive voices.
Scene 4
--------
Kathir started concentrating very hard in his studies but was unable to control his eagerness to play cricket. He even ignored malathy when she also asked him to forget cricket and stay tuned with studies. He started studying well but was always in a space thinking about cricket in the head. While he was going to school one day, he gets hit by an auto rickshaw and was taken back home with the support of some of his friends. They told his mother Janaki that there is nothing to worry about as it was a small accident and also informed his mother that it was his mistake to have crossed the road thinking about something else. His mother exactly knew what kathir would have been thinking and cried to kathir, "We need you to be alive than anything else in this world."
Janaki cried for a very long time and slept without even knowing it. She got back with a great fear and came running towards kathir and noticed that kathir was sleeping well. It was the sound from the nearby theatre and somebody was yelling Maaa in the movie. Janaki's heart almost literally stopped thinking it was her son and she was badly disturbed by the accident that kathir met with. She did not sleep after that.
Next morning, Rekha was shouting Maaaaaaaaaaaaaa and the whole community people tried to gather at kathir's place and asked what had happened. It was kathir's mother who stayed awake the whole night but could not stay up till the morning arrived. Janaki passed away and everyone around were shocked to death. Kathir could not believe it and he came close to his mother and slapped himself from the hands of his mother. He promised that he won't play or think about cricket anymore and said he won't die before making her dream come true. It was a big lesson to everyone else in the neighbourhood and all the parents warned their respective children to stay away from kathir and concentrate in their studies.
Scene 5
--------
No body talked to kathir except his sister Rekha. Kathir started to enter a new frame of life after loosing his mother. He studied day and night and was always thinking about the moments his mother passed away. He critisized himself for having killed his mother and went near the pooja room and threw away all the God photos and idols. Rekha came running towards kathir and asked him to control himself. Rekha wanted to become a pshyciatrist and had a passion to cure people. It was her nice and soothing words that brought kathir to being normal. Slowly kathir was improvising and working on his mother's dream like never before. Malathy, the next door girl could not forget kathir and her deep love started to bloom back as she started noticing kathir's developments in his career. Kathir topped as a State rank holder and contiued to work hard in higher studies through mere scholarships. He soon became one of the leading and youngest industrialists in India and was one of the top Icons of the nation. The media and magazines were talking nothing but kathir. Kathir collected all those magazines and media clippings and took it close to his mother's photo. On her 20th death anniversary date, he talked to the photo, "Maaaaa. I might have lived for more than 30+ years but today is the day that I feel like I've started to live. Your dream has come true and I'm proud to say that I was born to you. I know life is always the toughest stage but never had the feeling that I can win the stage. Without you and rekha supporting me, I would have been no one. I think it is a fate. Our family needed me badly but I was not able to do anything. But now, the country needs me badly and I've lots to do. So please stay with me for helping me achieve it for the country. Today, I'm going to ask you two more things for approval and I'm sure you won't say NO to that. I've lived my teen life loving cricket and I loved Malathy too and you know that. I'm going to earn back what I loved the most in Life as today I stand in front of you with my own dreams." Rekha also joined Kathir and both bowed at the photo and got the blessings.
