Mona is a brag , who keeps on talking about himself, his wife, his assets (imaginary), his business acumen, his ventures abroad, his investments in gold , silver and land, his hobbies and his skills in sports His monologue goes on for hours , and his talk is supported not by power point presentation, but is flanked by a lively demonstration . As ,he is in the midst of his address , his aides Swamy, and Living stone , drive up in a limousine . Their entry is marked by much fanfare . A too dark , stout Swamy in a white dhoti and wrinkled white Khadi shirt gets into the arena, by paying a glorious salute to his master, who is none other than our Mona. Livingstone , follows the heavy man , in a subdued manner . He, though demure , is full of arrogance and mischief. Mona , pulls up his sleeves and combs his sparse hair to take his avid listeners to his demo land.
He ,on his way to the avenue , talks elaborately about the satellite city , he is going to promote , and the construction of a Mega Mall , to help the residents of the small town Devibotta. The inmates in the car are baffled. The car halts near a bridge . The passengers alight from it. Swamy , now takes up the cue from Mona, who seems tired after a long talk.. He points his fingers towards a place , where he says , the Mega Mall is to be built. There are no houses, no huts, no habitation, no vegetation. The area looks so desolate and arid.
Once again the people are pushed into the car. The vehicle goes a few Kilometeres and stops . Swamy gets out hurriedly , and takes up the cause of explaining the setting up of the Mega city , which is to be mamed after his Master and Madam . The Vimona city , is to be modelled on the Silicon valley., California , where all high tech businesses are to be accomodated.Mona envisages it to be the industrial powerhouse of India. . Living stone , predicts that Vimona will be a one point focus to all mega projects that are to be commissioned in India.
Mona , with head raised high , imperiously walks towards his car, followed by his aides, leaving his audience spellbound .
A quixotic ,funny,,Mona has mesmerised his friends by meaningless chatter, irrational ideas and erratic notions. A satellite city -Vimona, a mega mall Monavi are all in the offing near Deva fort, a hamlet near Sivaganga
Realtors wake up, builders arise, high tech industrialist rush to Vimona., where Swamy is holding guard under the stewardship of Corporate President Pearl Prashanth ,an administrator, and accountant par excellence.
