The script:

விசும்பின் துளிவீழின் அல்லால்மற் றாங்கே

பசும்புல் தலைகாண்பு அரிது.

If even a single drop of rain doesn’t fall, not even grass will grow.

• What’s the ‘rain’ in your life? Something so essential that without it, everything stops working? Is it money, health, or something else?
• Can you think of a time when someone controlled an important resource in your life—maybe information, opportunities, or even your time?

“Dearest Lata, this may be the last letter I write to you, " Rajamani put the pen down wondering if it was his last hour.

Thirty-six hours earlier, Rajamani entered a submarine and met his friend and chef, Mali. Installing his magic oven was his intended job. However, the sub had descended too deep, and a sudden power loss occurred, when Rajamani tried to test his oven. A pipeline gave way, causing water to seep in as the crew tried to fix the power. With the water level rising, unconscious Mali was in grave danger.

Mali’s limp body suddenly rose above the water.

Rajamani looked up to see Captain Caspian himself.

“Skipper…” Rajamani sobbed hard.

“No worries, mate, am here,” said the Captain with a strong Australian accent. In spite of thin and tall frame, the Captain showed immense strength and moved Mali on top of the kitchen countertop.

“The kitchen sink will drain the water for a little while, but we don’t have a lot of time. Stop.. I am here now.”

“Sir, it is all my fault. I ran the oven to test if it was working, since you told me that there are no second chances for me, " Rajamani said in the middle of his sobbing.

“Ohhhhhh…”

Caspian pulled out a walkie-talkie from his back pocket. “XO, we’ve found the power surge source. Don’t start the power yet.”

“But Sir, how do we stop this water from rising?”

“Boy, when the power stops, everything stops,” said the Captain, while looking around to locate the oven.

பசும்புல் தலைகாண்பு அரிது.

If even a single drop of rain doesn’t fall, not even grass will grow.

Rajamani pointed at a device at the corner of the kitchen.

“You hold him.”

Captain waded through the waist high water and reached behind the oven and yanked out the cable.

“XO, now try the power.”

The lights came back on.

Mali stirred from his stupor.

“One… Piece…”

“Is he asphyxiated? Why is he saying random things?”

“No, Sir, I have been telling him stories from the anime One Piece to keep him going.”

Caspian shrugged and said, “The pumps should start working now. Keep this walkie-talkie with you. The Medics are very busy, but I’ll tell them about Pudding.”

After Caspian left, Rajamani narrated an episode from One Piece when Orochi and Kaido poisoned the water and the Wano people couldn’t cultivate anything.

“Mali.. Mali… Are you awake?”

No response from Mali.
