Tell him Anand is here.

Mr Anand.

- What did we decide?

Okay. How did you come here?

I ran away. What kind

of a friend are you?

You caged me there and

disappeared.

If you want me there you'll

have to stay with me.

I won't stay alone.

But it's necessary for you.

No, it's not.

If I have to live,

I have to laugh.

I'll fall sick in that

nursing home.

I haven't come for treatment.

I know everything.

I have come to meet

you folks here.

Babumushai, neither do

I have anyone nor do you...

As long as I'm alive

let me stay here.

Yes, you can. But have you

informed the nursing home?

No, I haven't, but I have

left a note for the matron.

Please call my friend

and inform him.

Raghu uncle...

Where's your luggage?

No problems. Raghu uncle

take him upstairs...

make arrangements

in the adjoining room.

I'll call Prakash and

inform him.

Raghu uncle, sit down.

We can check the room later.

Tell me who cooks here?

- Me.

I hope you cook well. I've

two hobbies in life...

Talk and eat. When I talk

a lot, I eat as well.

Can't you see my health?

Come. Take me to the kitchen.

Hello, is Prakash there?

Where's he gone?

This is Banerjee speaking.

At my place, both of them?

Okay, fine.

I'm calling from home.

Come, Prakash,

where's your wife?

She's coming.

How did you know?

I just called your place.

Hello sister-in-law,

you surprised me.

Suman has come to invite you.

lnvite me? I'm fortunate.

What's special?

Three years ago I committed a

mistake, she wants to celebrate.

Oh, your wedding anniversary!

He's smart. He realized

what mistake I meant.

He made the mistake but

I got caught in it.

Come in.

Babumushai. your Raghu Kaka

has made excellent...

I'm caught.

How did you come here?

It's not my fault.

Babumushai forced me to.

I told him you'd be angry

He said he'd explain...

and wouldn't say anything.

Don't be angry with him,

he's all alone.

Yes. I understand.

- You do?

Meet her, she's Suman, my...

Hello, sister-in-law.

Forgive me, I didn't see you.

He's trying

to introduce us.

Actually I came from

Delhi to meet you.

Me!

- I had an important work.

What work?

Sing that song which you

did before your marriage...

for my friend.

Why friend. What a

location for a song.

Who told you about it?

As if you don't know.

You must have told him.

I don't like this. You

embarrass me in front of others.

But I really didn't tell him.

Yes, he didn't tell me.

It's astrology.

I can do face reading.

Your father beat you up

before your marriage.

No, never.

Don't lie and don't feel shy.

Remember, you went to

the movies at Metro cinema...

and you'd sit in the

Kit-Kat restaurant opposite...

the cinema and have

food with my friend.

Your father saw you one evening

and beat you up...

Now tell me you didn't

reveal anything.

Yes, tell her.

Trivedi must have told you.

- That means you told Trivedi.

What's the use of fighting now?

Please, Bhabhi (sister-in-law).

Yes, Bhabi

- Yes. Bhabi.

Why are you calling

me Bhabi?

I followed the majority.

I'm telling the truth. I don't

sing. He's just teasing me.

Anand, the day after tomorrow

is our wedding anniversary.

So come with Bhaskar.

- I'll surely.

Bhabhi, which flowers do you like?

I'll get a large bouquet.

You shall not come.

- Why?

We don't accept gifts.

- Do you accept cash.

We are not having a party.

We're just inviting you.

Don't be obliged.

I won't be but you'll

have to.

There should be variety

of food that...

my stomach will

not be empty.

No problem, I'll pack

bags of it for you.

But on one condition.

- What?

You'll have to sing a song now.

I know you sing well.

- How do you know?

The same old astrology.

- You mean face reading?

Yes, I'm her astrologer.

I told her. Come on sing now.

Empty the seat.

Anand, sit in Prakash's office.

I'll be there.

When does the matron come?

Who? Mrs D'sa?

- Yes.

She's already come.

- Then I'm dead.

Why? What happened?

- Nothing, come soon.

Hey, fatso.

Murarilal, how come you're here?

Are you fine?

Didn't you recognize me?

I'm Anand.

We had beer at the Qutub Minar

and we were drunk.

How's your jaggery

business doing?

I'm not Murarilal nor do

I sell Jaggery.

My name is Chandranath and

I sell oil.

So you've started to sell oil.

- I haven't.

It's an ancestral business.

So what, Murarilal? Any business

is equally good.

I told you my name is

Chandranath.

What's in a name?

If your name was something else,

would you change?

You'd not, you'd do the same

business and meet me.

Come on. shake hands. I'm glad

to meet you. Are you?

So Mr Chandranath, what's new?

There's a new complication.

A shifting pain.

Shifting pain. I had it too.

There's no better doctor.

I first had it here and...

lt shifted up and

went out from my head.

Where do you have it?

- ln my knees.

I'll take a long time.

Problems.

Doctor, is there no medicine which

will shift it out from the feet.

Yes, doctor, give me

such a medicine.

It's alright, go to the office

and take an admission.

Fine, I'll do it.

- Don't worry, Murarilal.

My name is not Murarilal!

It's Chandranath.

Anand, do you want to stop

my business?

Why were you teasing him?

Teasing him? No!

I was praising you.

May I come in, sir?

- Matron! Oh my God!

Come in, Mrs D'sa.

Sir, Dr Banerjee is

waiting for you.

Fine.

What are you doing here?

- I was praying.

Where did you run away?

- Home.

Home?

- Dr Banerjee's house.

Why didn't you tell me?

- I was scared.

Do you know Dr Kulkarni

scolded me because of you?

So what? You're scolding me too.

You talk too much.

- Yes, I do. That's why I ran away.

I can't survive without talking...

and you told me to lie

down quietly.

Am I strict for my well being.

I have to take care of kids

like you.

Doesn't a mother scold her

children?

Yes, I realized that later.

Why does everyone call

you sister?

They should call you Mother.

Mother Matron.

You'll listen to this

mother.

Yes, we're friends now, mother.

Then come to the cabin.

No, not to the cabin.

I'll perish there alone.

Take me to your house.

I'll tie you up.

- No one can tie me up mummy.

I'll go away on my own.

Good morning, Mrs D'sa.

Good morning, doctor.

Will Anand stay with you?

Yes. He doesn't like your

nursing home.

Wherever he stays, he wins

over people.

He was just saying,

why do people call you sister?

They should call you

Mother Matron.

He's right.

Dr Banerjee, what has

happened to him?

He... Lymphocercome of the

lntestine.

Oh! ls it in the first stage?

Will he be alright?

No, sister, he's in the last stage.

God bless you. Let God bless

you with enough children.

Naughty.

Who? Me or God?

- Aren't you ashamed?

What did I say? When one grows up,

there'll be a young one...

and when he does there'll

be another one...

Keep quiet.

You utter anything.

You're making fun of God.

Mrs D'sa

- Please come in.

You didn't invite me, but how

can I forget your anniversary?
