Aditya, still recovering from the surprise call, took a deep breath and decided to engage in a lighthearted banter with his son, Agaran.

Joe: Adi, seriously dude, spill the beans! Is there a mini-Adi running around in Canada?

Aditya, still recovering from the unexpected call, smirked and replied, "Well, my friends, meet Agaran, the four-year-old CEO of my life, who just gave me an ultimatum to drop everything and rush home for some serious bedtime negotiations, and not in Canada anymore but in Madurai"

Rakesh: (grinning) Ithu enna da puthu poraliya irukku?

Siva: (incredulous) Deiii Iru .... thaniya pillayayum valathukitu velaiyum parthukitu irunthiyaa da? Enga kittalaam kuda sollala enna da pannivachi irukka??

Aditya: (smirking) Patharatha da, aarambathula ennada panna porom nu irunthuchu aana Agaran chamathu pilla da, naan enna mind set la irukken nu purinjukitu nadanthupan, en pulla yache. It's not as dramatic as it sounds.

and his junior asked out " Nee CEO nu solluratha parha, Eppadi bro inthe 'urukke parukku naalum v2la velakamaaru thaan' antha kathaiya???, Apo Agaran is the real boss."

Vishnu: (raising an eyebrow) So, MBA to fatherhood, that's quite the leap. What's the story, man? (chimed in his US return friend), Spit it out, Adi! Is there a Mrs. Aditya in Canada?

Aditya: (with a dramatic pause) Well, you see, there's this thing called marriage, and it involves...

Joe: (interrupting) Don't give us the dictionary meaning, man. Are you married or not?

Nick: exactly, Pei irukka? illaya? nambalama? nambakudatha?

Rafik: Deii avana yarra elupi vitathu ena pesurom ne theriyama ...., kuttu poga da avana potra poren, Deii naaye (towards Adi) nee unmaiya sollu epo kalyanam aachu?

Aditya: (sighs) Fine, Long story short, No, I am not married, and that little rascal on the phone is my son.

Rajesh: (wide-eyed) Adi anna, so neee nejamaave oru kozhanthaikku appa! When did this happen? Agaran epo porantan ? epadi ?

Aditya: Epadi poranthaan na ena da sola solra? enakku shy aavuthu?

Vishnu: Savadichiduven panni,... enakku inga veri aaguthu naalu varusama enga yaarukita yum solanum nu thonala la unakku? avlo venam nu aaitom ah?

Aditya: adilaam ila machaan, unga ta solama yarta soluven? enakku nu yaaru iruka sollu? nerla varumpothu surprise pannalam nu thaan nambuda...

With that the friends hugged Aditya. One of the juniors jumped in the conversation "Seri na... Annikum unakkum epo kalyanam? Agaran ke 4 vayasu aaiduchu, unga kuda vanthu irukagalaa ipo Maduraikku? Avangalukku tamil theriyuma? thamilponna? ila angaiey crt panna vellakara akka va?"

Aditya: Appadilam yaarum ila da.... en life la Naanum Agaranum mattum than ipo vara,.....Four years of diapers, baby food, and sleepless nights,.... ipo nanacha kuda avlo happy ah irukku ethana appaku ivlo kuduthuvachi iruku? enn pinnalaiey suthura paiyan? avlo love oda ?

His friends where genuinely happy for him being all happy with his son, after long struggles he had faced in his life.

Joe: So, why the covert operation with the kid on the phone?

Aditya: (smirking) He's a mischief-maker like his old man. Wanted to surprise you all. He's got a knack for drama, call panni sirappa potukuduthutaan.

Nick: (teasingly) Ah, the classic MBA strategy-executive decision-making in both boardrooms and nurseries.

Aditya: (rolling eyes) You guys are making it sound like a corporate takeover. But, yeah, life threw me a curveball, and now I'm navigating the wild world of parenthood. Ithuvum orumari jolly ah thaan irukku....
