Happy New Year

Note: Computer problems. Only have updates for Selvi and Penn. Sorry.

SELVI
Maya is describing to Andavan and Co. how Selvi struggled to speak to Tamarai, and how Tamarai had not only shut the car doors but also her ears. Part of Selvi's dialogue, "If only you knew about the people around you now..." Maya is enjoying herself. Andavan gets serious. He says, Selvi is bold and purposeful. She is also right. Our ploy will only work as long as we are around Tamarai. How can we make sure no one else is able to get close to Tamarai? He says he will begin by cutting off Selvi's means of income and get her to the street. He picks up the phone and spreads a rumor among GJ's oil distributros that the company is sinking. They all show up the following day, demanding to know what's going on. GJ reassures them. One of them raises the issue of GJ's divorce. He says Tamarai has nothing to do with the company, and looks up to see Tamarai standing in the room. He is stunned (Maya has orchestrated it by making Tamarai reach the office). She insults and dismisses GJ, with the support of the distributors. After persuading him to leave, his sidekick welcomes Tamarai, indicating that he will suck up to her from now on.

PENN
Mohini is pregnant. Much excitement. Her mother in law calls her mother, Uma, but it is actually Mohini she reaches, and Mohini, imitating her mother, conveys remarkably subdued enthusiasm. Mother in law surprised by response. Kailash and father eating at the roadside stall. Kailash is teased by the young daughter of the owner, but he is dreaming of Deepa. Muthukumar is still trying to track down Ramana Department Stores in Purasaiwakam. He has sought the assistance of one of the computer guys at Kadambam, who is doing a computer lookup of Kadambam distributors for him. Chitra walks in, and discovering what's going on, insturcts the computer guy that Muthukumar is not an employee of the company, and should not be given any information.
