Mala continued to walk fast with the ipod playing her favorite music in the background. After a while the road diverged into two roads. She stood there and looked at both the roads as far as she could see. The first one went downwards as if it is taking you to the underworld, while the other went upwards as if it is taking you to the sky. Surprised Mala took the one downwards.
While Mala continued to walk through the road, it went more downwards and more steeper. The surroundings looked more modernized as she proceeded. Then, she took three left turns thinking that she can reach her home then. But she was 100 feet straight below her home. Also she was able to see the sky when she looked up!
All the buildings around her looked alike and she was not able to trace her way back home. It was like solving a maze puzzle, but her brain was not sufficient to solve that.
No human's were seen by the roadside. High speed cars rushed through the streets. Nobody stopped for the red signal or for the green signal. It looked like an alien world for her. She badly wanted to go back to her home.
Mala roamed here and there to get any help from somebody. She was not able to find anyone. As she was running through the walkway, a cat (Felis catus) came in front of her. She got frightened seeing it suddenly. The sharp claws, dark blue eyes and the rusty spotted skin combined with its two legged posture made her more frightened. As Mala moved sideways, the cat also moved as it is if blocking her. Mala started screaming in fear. The cat also moved its hand with sharp claws outside and wide opened its mouth. Mala stepped back and became silent.
The power went off and came back in ten minutes. By then, Mala came back home and the movie ended subam. I will tell you the detailed climax of this story when I see the movie again without any power cuts :)
naasamaa poachu.... puriyara maadiri kadha yeluda maaattiyaaa.... nee direct panna padatha neeye paakkum boadhu, power cuttaa.... adhanaala onakku padathula enna climaxunnu theriyaadhaaa.... kali gaalamdaa... koduma...
ReplyDeleteGood One da! But don't think you can escape from telling what really happened :) even if not as a blog, at least through chat, I will pester you to get to know what happened.
ReplyDeleteBut only one thing worried me. How can you say that the brilliant Mala was not capable to solve the puzzle. She is the one who designed the brilliant robot Vijay isn't it? :P
@Praba: Good that you have understood everything except a small twist.
ReplyDeleteThe small twist in the story is that, "Director vijay and me are different". double act with same name and same character and same everything ;)
@amu: As I have promised, will tell u the detailed climax once i see the movie again without any power cuts ;)
ReplyDeleteAlso how did you think Mala came back home?
Enaku nalla purinjidhuchu .. . Romba alatikkama, kadhai eludhanumnu yosicha pola .. Pazhiya electricity mela potutu kadhaiku subam potuta .. good lateral thinking ... Yes, madurail current cut ayitae irukunu; message vera solitta :)
ReplyDeletegood one da... I understood what happened in between :P as I was seeing the movie in IITB and there is no powercut here :-)
ReplyDeleteThe cat was none other than Mala's shadow as Mala herself is a cat .. A cat afraid of her own shadow ... The only difference in this amazing new world is that the shadows are colourful.
Mala soon learns that that the new city is full of cats and she, instead of screaming say "Meow" and immediately gets help. She gets back home now.
Now the power comes back in Madurai ....
@Krishna: What are you???? You are amazing. You are competing with Vijay. It is great to know that you could come up with such a bizarre, but yet brilliant idea... good work!
ReplyDeleteIn my last life I was the pet cat of Robo Vijay while in Bangalore .... Since cats have 9 lives, I remember everything of my prev lives ...
ReplyDelete(Now read the story completion comment again :)
Thanks Krish for the revealing the suspense. Looks like the movie has excellant twist in the climax.
ReplyDeleteIs that you, the pet cat of Robo helped Robo's boss reaching home?
Anyways, I will download the movie and watch it in detail.
