13B: Fear Has a New Address Page #2

The music was so scary. .

Mummy, there's no one.

Must be the gas cylinder guy.

Ohange it.

- Press it.

Oome on. - What's wrong?

- l cannot change it.

Just a minute. l'll try it.

You will make me

miss 'Shubh Vivaah'.

The battery must be dead.

Ohange it from the panel.

Hurry up. lt's time

for the serial to start.

Mummy, l cannot change the channel.

ls something wrong with the T.V.?

- l don't know.

What's this?

- Seems to be a new serial.

New serial. New

house and new serial.

''Fine! Everything is fine!''

And anyway, 'Shubh

Vivaah' had become very boring.

''Everything is fine.''

''Everything is fine.''

''Everything is fine.''

Look, Mother. After all the

tribulations and difficulties. .

. .our house looks so wonderful.

lt really is beautiful. But son. .

. .did we need to pay

such a big price for it?

Mother, your

happiness is priceless to us.

Brother and l have taken a loan.

And Mother, we will

repay this loan soon enough.

Watchman.

Oh God, what a punishment.

What's wrong? Why are you gasping?

You don't know. l had

to climb up 1 3 floors.

l told the watchman that

the lift is not working.

But he didn't do anything about it.

Give it to me.

- Thanks.

Oh God.

- What?

You still haven't put up the

pictures. - What can l do?

l gave Rs.50 to that watchman for

putting them up. Didn't he come?

He did, and also tried. But

he couldn't bore the nails in.

l think there's a beam here.

- What?

As an engineer's wife,

you know everything.

There's a beam through the

entire room. - Oould be.

Okay, do one thing. Get

me a hammer. l will do it.

Before brother

arrives and hammers me.

Fine.

Only after her family ran into

trouble, did she realise it.

Now she'll realise there's

a delay, but not denial.

She'll know it now.

Who? - l always said so,

but you never believed me.

Did you see that now? - Listen.

What is mom gossiping about?

About the daily soap operas.

Oh God. - She couldn't see

today's episode. She missed it.

So, she's asking

aunt Kamla about it.

You and your serials.

You've been watching the same

TV programme for many years.

The same story. Doesn't it

make any difference to you?

Darling, why don't you

watch some episodes?

And then we can discuss them.

Forget it.

- Don't mock me.

Faces change.

She joins in again.

Look at her role. .

Just a minute. Mannu, why

are you creating a racket?

Do it slowly. l am

talking on the phone.

Yes, Kamla.

Mannu, didn't you hear?

Oh God. Damn it!

What happened? You are just. .

What do you think? l am hurt. Get

some ice. - l'll get it right away.

Mummy, see what happened.

- What happened? What happened?

l got hurt.

- What was the need?

You came home late from work.

You should be resting. .

And you are doing this. - What a

wonderful mother. Don't be silly.

No, nothing.

- Mannu, you. . Here, keep this.

God.

- lt must be really painful.

lt's the 2 1 st Manohar. Remember

to pay the flat maintenance fee.

That's all. What's this?

Lower your feet.

Oome on, your mummy is waiting

with the milk. - Papa, Papa.

And you all are just. . Papa, Papa.

Brother, the milk has curdled again.

Since we arrived in this house, l

haven't had a descent cup of tea.

This has become daily routine now.

- Forget it.

Hello, good morning.

Welcome to 'Hum Se Door.'

Just a minute. Go back.

- Have you seen a ghost?

That's Dr. Shinde.

- Right.

Oall mother. - There are many people

who. . - Mother, look who's on T.V.

. .who's seen a ghost.

- Who is it? - Your boyfriend.

Most of the people. .

- What? - What are you doing?

What are you saying?

Many of them are

enemies of human beings.

Hey. - Yes, right.

- That's the doctor.

Let me sit. What's he telling?

Oh God, such enthusiasm.

- Let me sit.

Everything is a joke for you.

That's right.

You know, l am sitting here

hale and hearty because of him.

Or else l would

have been dead by now.

Mother, don't say such things.

You know, we

consulted so many doctors.

But he was the only one

who diagnosed my problem.

So, why are you

getting so emotional?

Oome, let's. .

- Be quiet. Let me hear.

Doctor.

- Hello. - You are considered. .

. .to be one of the best

general practitioners in lndia.

But why are you on the discussion

panels for paranormal behaviour?

l was very young when

my parents passed away.

l had a younger brother.

l brought him up like my own child.

But he passed away in an accident.

l wanted to tell my

brother how much l love him.

As a doctor, we try to save a human

being as long as he isn't dead.

We try our best to save his

life, but if they still die. .

But what after death?

What happened to all

those dead people?

Where are they?

l got interested in this subject

while looking for these answers.

8:
30pm. Always late. - Raghav,

where were you? Sit here. - Okay.

Priya, bring Raghav's breakfast.

- Yes, sister-in-law.

Are ghosts, spirits and

the after-life, really true?

Or is it just superstition?

Take Newton's third law. 'Every Force

has an equal and opposite force.'

Similarly, in spirituality. .

if there are Gods and temples. .

. .then it's necessary to

have an opposite force as well.

Look. - Smile, aunt. -

Here's your breakfast.

Smile, Aunt.

Divya, eat up.

- Aunt.

Uncle's mobile. He will

scold you today. lt'll be fun.

Go and return it to uncle.

- Run quickly.

And if there's life,

there's after-life as well.

And if there are Gods and temples. .

. .there must be a world of

spirits as well.

But that's my own opinion.

Everyone doesn't have to believe it.

Uncle.

Dennis the Menace,

l told you this is not a toy.

l will get you a toy in the

evening if you want one. - Okay.

Go. You are getting

late for school. - Go on.

How many times have l told you. .

. .to keep the phone out

of the children's reach?

l do, but he always finds it. .

strange. . - You are too much. .

Mom, just a minute.

- Please, don't take my photograph.

How many times have l asked

you not to?! Please don't do it.

He's a famous personality.

New issue. . what is your

opinion about our show.

Mother, it's getting late.

l am leaving. - Fine. - Bye.

Bye.

- Mannu. - Yes.

Remember to send the driller home. .

. .to put up the photos in

the prayer room. - Fine.

Don't forget.

- l won't, brother.

Stupid lift.

- Why?

Oall him. l have some work.

The driller must be. . Hari.

- Yes, sir.

Hari, do you know about my new flat?

Yes, l know.

Take a taxi. And finish the work.

Good day.

- Yes.

l am coming from the site.

Mr. Manohar has sent me.

- Okay, come in.

Oome. Here it is.

l've made the marks. You just

have to bore in the nails. - Fine.

Get it done.

- Yes, madam.

Would you like to have tea

or coffee? - No. - Okay.

Who is it, Priya?

- lt's the driller.

prayer room, Mummy.
