102 Not Out Page #5

---

Only in Mumbai have I

heard this kind of nonsense.

Where are its ears?

How does it listen to music? Show me.

What nonsense...

Dhiru, if it doesn't blossom...

...then we'll skip this condition.

But what if it does?

Wouldn't that be wonderful?

I'll go freshen up, come inside.

You're wasting your time.

It'll never happen...

Dhiru.

Hold this.

Just hold this.

I'll get rid of this first.

And, you take that one inside.

Oh my, God, uncle.

Did you grow this flower?

- Yeah...

So this was your plan?

I always knew that I myself was

going to complete this condition.

On his Birthday.

I wanted to reward him for the blanket

Isn't it an amazing gift?

Just watch his confidence after this.

It's going to come in handy.

Uncle. Uncle. Uncle. Uncle.

It's blossomed.

It's blossomed.

It's blossomed.

Why are you making a racket, Dhiru?

It's blossomed.

Come down.

- It's blossomed.

What are you saying, Dhiru?

This is a miracle.

Let me wear my glasses first.

Wow...keep it down.

Dhiru, did you see the flower blossoming?

- Yes.

It shot out like a bamboo,

it's a Chinese bamboo.

What is that you and father always do?

Yo!

- Yo...

What's all the 'Yo' about?

- It's blossomed.

Baabu, my boy. It's blossomed.

You did it!

You did it!

I made it blossom!

Yo!

- Yo...

I'll go change.

You don't have anything on.

Right.

Yo!

- Yo...

I'll answer the door.

Someone sent flowers.

Who sent it?

- Amol.

Amol! I'll go tell...

- Hey...

I'll go tell uncle.

Not yet...don't tell him anything.

You're not going to tell him?

Not today, I won't.

Let him celebrate his birthday today.

Tomorrow I'll give him these flowers,

and put my last condition.

Main Zindagi Ka Saath - Mohd. Rafi

Baabu, what's wrong?

Can't sleep without your blanket?

You sleep.

"O Life..."

Listning music at this hour?

There is no time

to listen to songs.

It's a great one.

Come on...let's dance...

"O Life..."

"Do visit my home too."

"O Life..."

Come on Ong Chong Tun...

Let's dance.

"Do visit my home too."

"O Life..."

Do you have to sing along?

Okay...quiet, quiet.

You stay here,

I am going over there.

No more singing,

I'll just lip sync.

"O Life..."

"O Life..."

"The direction to my home

is pretty simple."

"My home has no confining walls."

"No need to knock,

or call out my name."

"My home has no doors."

"There are no walls or a roof

over my head."

"If the sun's ever too harsh..."

"If the sun's ever too harsh..."

"I seek refuge under

your shade..."

"...and continue living..."

"O Life..."

"O Life..."

"Do visit my home too."

Now you're going to

sing the female part too?

Let her sing.

She's singing so well.

Yeah...

That means you're enjoying it.

You sleep here tonight.

I'll go sleep in your bedroom.

- No, no...

I...

- That's condition no. 5.

Come on...you'll have a great time.

"O Life..."

"O Life..."

"Do visit my home too."

"O Life..."

"O Life..."

"Do visit my home too."

You're loving it, don't you?

Easy easy.

"If you ever pay a visit,

you better be careful."

"Because a princess is resting here."

"She's lost in the land of fairies."

Baabu, my boy.

Yo!

- Yo...

What are these?

- Flowers!

Someone sent it to you.

Amol sent these.

When did these arrive?

Yesterday.

And you're telling me now.

Only good things

should be told on birthdays.

Hello.

- It's me, dad.

Papa... Happy birthday, papa...belated.

- Thank you, thank you.

I just got the flowers...

...they're beautiful.

- Yeah...

Actually,

father forgot to give them to me...

...otherwise I would've

called you yesterday.

Are you guys alright?

- Yeah, we're fine.

I called on your cell phone yesterday.

Also tried the landline.

I see...

- Yeah...

Hello.

I guess something

was wrong with the phone.

Why do you sound so serious, father?

Are you sick?

Are you okay?

Hello.

Yes, yes, I am okay.

Really? When?

That's wonderful news.

Oh, we'll be right here.

Where are we going to go?

Great. Great.

Alright, give everyone my love.

I'll talk to you later.

You hung up on Amol twice yesterday?

What are you trying to do?

Think about what he's trying to do.

What did he say?

He's coming, isn't he?

- Yes, he's coming.

In July.

And my final condition is...

...when your useless, ungrateful

son puts his foot on our doorstep...

...you'll ask him to get out.

Get out!

Try to understand.

These flowers are not for you,

it's for this property.

Suddenly one day he realized

that these oldies could die any moment...

...that's why he sent you

those flowers after so many years.

Baabu...

...you know how to grow flowers.

Don't get entrapped

by these bogus flowers.

My last condition.

Kick him out!

He's my son.

...and a son cannot be a condition.

And yes, you're right about one thing.

I know how to grow flowers now...

I can do a lot of things.

Don't try to come between Amol and me.

I'll do anything to stop you.

Good!

Powerful Gesture baabu,

But remember one thing.

I won't let your son defeat my son.

Amol's room is preserved with

great care and precision.

The Great Amol's belongings

are still intact.

His cycle,

his toys, college books, everything.

In fact, he knows how many

coins are there in his piggy bank.

He's preserved everything except...

...The letters he wrote from America.

But I've kept them safe.

Here...

I made a file.

I even gave this file a title.

"I hope you understand."

"I hope you understand."

Because every letter ends

with this sentence.

"I hope you understand."

Now, this is his first letter.

Amol wrote to Babu six months

after he moved to America.

"I know you've been

saving up for your retirement."

"But, right now

I am in desperate need."

"As soon as my career is on track..."

"...I will return the money,

I hope you understand."

Now this one he sent when

he got married and didn't tell us.

Listen... I got married.

"We had to move

to Chicago immediately..."

"...and so we didn't get

the time to tell you."

"I hope you understand."

"And papa, please make an offering

of 501 rupees at...Siddhivinayak temple..."

Once Baabu expressed a desire to

go to America at his own expense.

And he got this answer.

"Our house is very small..."

"...and we're very busy."

"You'll be all alone out here."

"I hope you understand."

What do you think?

Is he listening?

I think so.

Well if he isn't, he will now.

Turn it off!

After many years...

...I felt like playing this record.

I know...

I know why you're doing this.

Turn it off!

I said turn it off!

- Why turn it off?

It's your favorite song.

Not yours... this is Chandrika's

favorite song,

"Time has been so unfair."

Baabu and Chandrika...

...would listen to old Hindi movie songs

on this record every night.

After Baabu's retirement

when Amol left for America...

...they would listen to it for hours.

Then one night...

Chandrika lifted

the pin of the record...

...and kept it on this side.

Not here...

...but here.

On the other side.

Once...twice...
