Meeleparambil Aanveedu

This is the name of a Malayalam movie. The movie revolves around the characters in the house name Meeleparambhu. This house is famous because, this house has only men in it. The only female residing in that house is the mother.

Those were my brothers dreams too. Live in a house with just male relatives & mom. Unfortunately, Providence had something else in store for him! It all started on that unfortunate Friday night. He was eagerly waiting outside the room, waiting for his first recruit! But his mother thoroughly disappointed him. She gave him a baby girl inspite of his repeated requests for a boy. Starting from that unfortunate Friday, He was stuck with girls!

After that, he had his hopes pinned on his aunts, they were all able to meet his expectations, but the 'generation gap' moved in with them. They were all too young to be in his 'gang'. Moreover, he was able to meet them only during vacations. And again, since he was much older than us, he always had classes or extra-classes or entrance preparations or something looming over his head. So, whatever hopes he had on spending time with his boy cousins were also flushed down the drain.

We grew older & we moved to our home at Kochi(or Ernakulam or Cochin), there again he started nurturing his childhood dream now that it was my turn for entrance examinations.He was pinning his hopes on my clearing the exam & going away from home to study some place outside Kochi. After which, he could bring home all his guy cousins and christen our home as 'Meeleparambil Aanveedu'. Poor guy, little did he realize then there were engineering colleges in Kochi. Now, not only did he have to live with his mom & sis, BUT, his sister brought more sisters into the house - her friends. Can you hear the flushing sound in the background? I very well can!

Then he escaped to US of A. There he tried hard to get out of the girl circle. But, there too he was landed with more sisters - his friends' wives. And, being the big brother - he had to listen to all their woes too. Then came his turn to get married. Oh! yes! One more girl.

Finally, he is back in India. Luckily now the girl count is under control, but the girls aren't. God only knows why he has been branded with a piece of each - wife, mom, daughter, sis & niece. I can see the CG changing the name 'Meeleparambil Aanveedu' into 'Puthushery Pennvendu'.
