He explains it as hyper pattern analysis and psycho analysis. His friend perceives it as 'aandavan seyal' – God's gift – clairvoyance. Ilandevan playfully uses the skill to play hitch and analyse whether someone's muse actually loves them. Rest of the story is about when faced with a life changing event, is the hero's special skill useful. Why can't he use it now? How he finds a way out of it forms the crux of the plot.
