Anand

Writers in our country are

improving day by day.

Formerly they used to come

for the literary meet on cycles...

but now they arrive by cars.

I owned a cycle too last year...

but I had to sell it off

to publish my novel.

Let's go

- Yes.

Respected chairman, Dr Banerjee,

Dr Kulkarni and Gentleman...

I thank Rustomji Petit trust through

this literary association for...

announcing the Saraswati award

and encouraging the writers.

This award is given to the

best book of the year.

This year the most amazing

fact is that...

this is the writer's

first work.

And the writer is a doctor.

Doctor Bhaskar Banerjee.

He's not only famous in his

Medicine field and alcohol...

Please mention only medicine.

Forgive me, Dr Banerjee is well

known for his medicines and...

not for alcohol.

He is a remarkable cancer

specialist.

In spite of being surrounded

by such situations...

writing a novel like ''Anand''

is very astonishing.

Before giving away the award

I request Dr Banerjee...

to say a few words

about his novel 'Anand'.

Where and how did he find

the inspiration to write it.

I...

Excuse me but I don't know

what to say...

Frankly speaking, I'm no writer.

My habit of writing begins

and ends with my diary.

And what you assume as my

story or novel...

are a few extracts from

my diary.

If you feel that Anand is

fiction or my imagination...

then the fault lies in my writing.

It is in fact my failure.

Anand loved to make friends.

Every place he went,

he was in search of a friend.

That's why I published

my novel.

So that his friendship should

spread throughout the world.

When I first met Anand my

mind was not stable.

I was very disappointed with

my medical profession.

After watching all kinds of

diseases, poverty and disaster

I had lost all hopes in life.

I was helpless.

I could combat diseases, but how

could I deal with hunger and poverty.

I tried to battle but didn't

have the right weapons.

I noticed that lakhs of

people lacked in vitamins.

But when they were starving

what was the use of vitamins.

Medicines could cure diseases

but not poverty.

Yet after so many years of

independence...

people don't have the money

to buy salt.

How can I ask them to buy

medicines.

Doctor.

- It's not in my hands.

Doctor, please do something.

- What can I do. Am I God?

Go and pray.

Doctor, have some sweets

Laxmi had a baby boy.

My grandson.

One just died and another

is born ready for death.

I admit that life is

stronger than death.

But isn't this life worse

than death.

When I took my degree from

college, I vowed to save lives.

And now at every step I

feel I'm trying to save death.

Munna.

- Yes?

Won't you have your meals?

You have it uncle. If I feel

like it, I'll eat later.

What kind of a doctor are you?

Your father was a doctor too.

He used to work day and night,

but he never ignored food.

He also made money and bought

this property.

You're not interested

in money making.

You're only working hard.

Your friend Prakash has

built such a large hospital.

Raghu uncle leave me alone.

Will you do me a favor?

- What?

Bring a daughter-in-law in

this house...

then I shall go back

to my village.

I mean it.

I have brought you up...

so I can't watch your

condition nor leave you alone.

Hey, Raghu uncle.

Come on serve me food.

It's better than marriage.

Park the car ahead.

Hello doctor.

- Please wait, I'm examining him.

I'm in a hurry.

- You can come tomorrow.

Fine, I shall wait then.

Take this address and

get an X-Ray done.

Is it necessary for an

X-Ray?

I am giving two more

music lessons...

So my throat must have ripped

and it's bleeding now.

Anything can happen, but go

and get an X-Ray done.

What happened?

- No nothing, but the X-Ray...

you know my condition.

You don't have to pay.

I'll call him.

Dr Prakash Kulkarni.

Go and meet him.

Doctor, have my reports come?

Yes. Please be seated.

You're perfectly all right.

You look disappointed.

- No.

Dr Kulkarni mentioned that

you're a cancer expert.

Expert in what. In giving

cancer or curing it.

It's alright doctor. But I've

developed a new complication.

I don't get sleep and

I feel tired during the day.

Give me some good medicine.

You love to take medicines,

don't you?

If I give you some colorful

capsules or tablets...

Or tell you a medicine

which is unavailable...

then you'll be satisfied and

believe I'm a good doctor.

If you can give me some

medicine, then do so...

else there's no

dearth of doctors.

Please leave.

What's your consultation fees?

I take fees for medicines

not for giving some sense.

Dr Kulkarni, please.

Dr Banerjee.

Prakash, I'm Bhaskar here.

I'm sending a boy for an X-Ray.

His name is Ranjit.

Examine him.

Do you have the samples of

streptomycin. Keep some for me.

Whose letter?

- Trivedi.

The Gynecologist from Delhi,

he's writing after a long time.

I'm going to the laboratory

in the afternoon...

and I'll be there

by 4.00 p.m.

Sister.

- Good morning, Dr Banerjee.

Is Dr Kulkarni in.

- Yes, he's waiting for you.

Remember Mrs Sanyal take the

green and red capsules together...

and after half an hour the

pink tablets.

Next the green and yellow capsules...

and half an hour later

the pink tablets.

And yes, the white tablets

that I prescribed, continue them...

one in the morning

and in the evening.

I'm sorry.

- No problem, Bhaskar, come in.

I forgot to mention one thing.

Something's wrong with me

these days...

I feel frightened.

- Why?

I had my blouses stitched

last month and they're tight now.

It's a sanfrize material.

No, Mrs Sanyal don't

neglect it.

I want to check your blood

cholesterol. Come next Saturday.

Oh no, not Saturday,

I've a kitty party.

Can't I come on Friday?

Friday,... let me check.

Fine. Friday morning 9.00 a.m.

- Okay.

Here's the check for last

month of 500/- rupees.

Thank you.

- Eh!

I mean for this check.

It's alright, doctor. Bye Bye.

Come, Bhaskar...

please be seated.

You're telling her about blood

cholesterol, what does she know?

You will always remain a doctor.

If I don't create an impression,

how will she gain confidence?

I know what you'd have told

her had she come to you.

The same thing that you told

Chandranath and made him angry.

Walk 2 hours in the morning

and play 2 hours in the evening...

After 15 days she'd neither

need you nor me.

She'd be playing badminton

leisurely...

and we'd be begging on

the streets.

If you wanted to do this,

why did you pass your medical's?

You could open a shop.

If I'd sell milk

I'd mix water into it...

and if I was a lawyer...

I'd take money from the

conflict and try to save him,

I can reduce their stomach

or toothache in this profession.

Do you think this is right?

There's nothing wrong

with it, Bhaskar.

The boy you sent for an

X-Ray this morning.

Yes, what happened?

There's a T.B. patch

on his left lung.

I told him to come and

get injected everyday.
