I look at myself in the bathroom and rub my beard. When Raghav asked me to arrange an opportunity for him to meet my staff, I was clueless until Ashwika mentioned about the Christmas Charity. I spoke with Dad and Dharma mama and they agreed. Our business Partners, clients, investors and media people are invited for the Christmas Charity Gala.

Everyone including executive and administrative rank employees will donate a certain amount and we collect it to contribute to Orphanage and Old Age homes around the city. This will help Raghav and his wife Pallavi to have a chance to mingle with everyone. Also this is going to be a Hollywood Theme based Charity Gala, so everyone will be there representing a star or on screen character.

Brad Pitt is my favorite actor and I decided to go with his "Once upon a Time in Hollywood" look with jeans, t-shirt and denim coat. He sported a clean shaved look in it, and he rarely sported a mustache or light beard. But if I do a clean shave, my face will look too young, so I decide to go with a trimmed look. I trim and take a quick shower before getting dressed into the costume I have chosen.

I walk down the stairs to meet my family members, my dad and mom are sitting on the couch watching TV in casual attire, "Neenga varala?" (Are you both not going?)

"Konjam tired ah iruka maathiri iruku athukuthan rest eduthu kalam nu. Athan, Nee, Moni, Dharma, Rakesh ellam irukengala paathukonga" (No, I feel a little tired, Moni, Dharma, Rakesh and you take care of the gala, I'll take rest at home.)

"Appa kooda yaaruna veetla irukanum la, athu naala naanum varala" Mom says. (There has to be someone staying back with your dad, so even I'm not going).

"Hmmm seri ma, Moni enga?" (Ok Mom. Where is Moni?)

"I'm here brotherrrr" I hear her voice and turn. She walks stylish in a floor length dress.

"Enna getup ithu?" (What character are you?)

"I'm Angelina Jolie," she stands slantingly, flipping her hair back and placing a hand on her hip.

I give her a weird look, "Maleficent, getup pootu irukalam, soniya bhommai ku correct ah match aagi irukum
