Bivish happily took the cows to his house and made adequate arrangements there to make the cows comfortable. He redesigned the car shed to a cow shed.
That night Bivish couldn’t sleep. He thought about the big farm house, new milk products factory and tried to devise a strategy to topple the Amul Company etc. Next day the milkman came and milked the cow and gave Bivish around 5 liters of milk. Bivish was surprised! Only this much??? Not possible. Vinesh doesn’t lie… (Actually he doesn’t….he doesn’t say the truth)
Bivish call up Vinesh and asks him what needs to be done.
“The main reason would be the geographical conditions in your area may not be suitable for the cow to give 50 liters of milk”
“What should I do now Vineshji…You are my only hope”

“What should I do now Vineshji…You are my only hope”
“Only solution that I see is you can bring the cow to my house and keep it there…”
“Oh thank you so much...”
“Oh thank you so much...”
“Wait Bivish...There’s more to it... I have to convince my wife about keeping it there so…
1. You need to provide around 5 liters of milk to me every day instead of rent
2. You have another revenue earning opportunity in this business. You can sell the cow dung to someone and get money off it. So everyday twice please ensure that you come and take the cow dung and sell it.
3. Make sure that the food for the cow is ready each day”.
Bivish thought for a while and agreed as he had no other option.
2 weeks passed. Bivish was a very upset person. Whatever milk the cow gives, he has to give it to Vinesh. Nobody is buying the cow dung. So in effect he is cleaning Vinesh’s cow shed daily!
Bivish tore off the agreement that he had with Vinesh and took his cows back to his house.
He didn’t know what exactly to do?

At that time he had a call from his wife Manju who told him that his US visa was getting ready.
He was overjoyed. But it did not last long. He looked at the eyes of his cows for the next five minutes. He understood that his cows were crying. Soon Bivish joined them and they all cried together.

Bivish sent a mail to Manju stating that he will not be able to make it as he had to look after the cows.
He told the news to the cows...They also seemed to be very happy and gave 2 extra liters of milk that day.

But soon Manju called Bivish once again and gave him an ultimatum – “Come to US by 26th of this month or else…I will come there on 27th…”
Bivish clearly understood the underlying meaning of that statement. He remembered an old Malayalam movie dialogue – “Santhustamaya kudumba jeevithathinu anusaranasheelam valare valare athyavashyamaanu”.
Now what will he do with the cows?
He had no choice. He again called up Vinesh.

“Hello Vinesh ji”
“Bivish, when u went from here I did not hear the “ji” word. You were using some other letters right”
“Bivish, when u went from here I did not hear the “ji” word. You were using some other letters right”
“No no no….how can I say like that. If at all you felt that I said something, I am here to apologize”
“Ok…now what do you want”
“Ok…now what do you want”
“I am going to US”
“So?”
“I want you to meet you before I go and once again apologize in person. I am bringing your favorite dish meen aviyal”
“So?”
“I want you to meet you before I go and once again apologize in person. I am bringing your favorite dish meen aviyal”
“Ok come soon…Its already 1 O clock. I am hungry”
Bivish came to Vinesh’s house with the two cows.
Bivish came to Vinesh’s house with the two cows.
“Moonu perum koodi engotta” – Vinesh asked sarcastically.
“Vinesh…need your help also. Please buy back the cows”
“Vinesh…need your help also. Please buy back the cows”
“No Bivish…I cannot…See the cows have lost weight and they don’t look happy at all”
“See Vinesh, they will be more than happy when you buy them back”
“But…hmmm...how may liters of milk does it give nowadays”
“See Vinesh, they will be more than happy when you buy them back”
“But…hmmm...how may liters of milk does it give nowadays”
“50 liters ...that’s what you told me...”
“Things have changed a lot…now how much does it give?”
“Things have changed a lot…now how much does it give?”
“Oh... like that... Nowadays it gives 35 liters”
“35 liters??? In one week, is it??? No negotiations.. I will take both for 30000/- . Do you agree?”
“35 liters??? In one week, is it??? No negotiations.. I will take both for 30000/- . Do you agree?”
Bivish gives Vinesh a stern look and takes the money and hands over the rope…
On reaching home Bivish’s brother asks him “Why did you mix that liquid with the meen avail. Do you have any idea what that liquid was? The person who eats it will have “chorichil” (itching) throughout his life!!!”
Bivish just smiled back at him.
