Summer Placements - Part 2

Kuttapante Kusruthikal - Episode 1 (Part 2)

Scene 2: Trichur

Somewhere in the middle of the town, two people were arguing by the roadside.

“Let’s have breakfast and then go”
“No , we are already late”
“Let’s go by bus”
“No we will go by auto”
“#$$##@@&^&&"

Well it was our Kuttappan and KK.

Day 1 Begins……

Things were not going properly as expected. They went to the bank and were told that Mr Joseph would be guiding them for the project.

Kuttappan wanted to see the Cash Flow statement while KK wanted to know what the gender mix percentage of the bank was at different locations

Kuttappan asked for P&L statement while KK asked why they didn’t have a proper canteen with subsidized charges on food.

When Kuttapan went again to ask for the balance sheet, but Mr Joseph was fed up by KK’s questions and told Kuttappan to come and meet him after 2 days.

KK on the other hand was very happy there on getting a Vada and tea free of cost at 3 pm.

That night Kuttappan did not sleep. He knew he cannot handle both KK and his project. He had to decide on one. Without any second thoughts he decided that he go ahead with his project only. But he had to make a good plan to avoid KK. He thought and again thought and during the thought process he somehow fell asleep. But once he got up he had his master plan ready.

Day 2:

Kuttappan did not wake up KK, who was still sleeping at 9 am. Kuttappan went to the bank and started getting the required details at a great pace. Being the only “Internet Savvy” person at that time from our batch he was sure to get more information on the bank from the net also for his analysis. By 11.30, KK came to the bank only to be greeted by a mischievously smiling Kuttappan. Some emotional arguments happened there for 15 min.

By around 3 pm Kuttappan told KK with a smile
“Hey man I am going out for a tea”

He was sure that KK will not come with him as he will get coffee or tea free of cost from the bank.

Time 6.30pm: KK came back to their lodge. He did not find Kuttappan. Maybe he went out for a movie.

10 pm. Still no news about Kuttappan. (Both of them did not have a mobile phone in 2002). KK checked the newspaper to find out if Hum Aapke Hain Koun or any other movie with running time more than 3.5 hours was released somewhere there.

KK gets scared and calls up a lot of his friends from a phone booth and tells them that Kuttappan is not to be seen. He takes an auto and goes around Trichur town to find him out. No luck.

Day 3

KK has absolutely no idea what to do. Everyone in the bank had seen them in a big argument the previous day and next day Kuttappan is missing!!! KK decided not to go to the bank and continue his search.

By evening he decides to call Kuttappan’s parents and spit the news. He dials the number.

“Hello”
“Yes Hello”
“I am KK, Kuttappan’s friend. There is some…..”

But before KK could complete the sentence

“Hey KK, this is Kuttappan here. How are you?”

“What are you doing there? Why didn’t you tell me that you are leaving back to Tvm? I was searching for you for the past 2 days.”

“I told you KK…”

“You told me that you are going to have tea…Nothing more”


“That’s right…I took the next available train, came to Trivandrum and had tea….”
