is a transmitter and a receiver.

There was a vibration from

Jagdish's body and I received it.

It's a great theory,

Babumushai...

If you do research, you'll

win a Noble prize.

What's this craziness.

Babumushai, you call this crazy.

You meet a man, make friends

and touch him...

What else do you need? Look...

there's one more Murarilal.

Where are you going?

Stand here.

Babumushai, Murarilal...

Sir, please buy flowers

for your wife.

Babumushai, shall I buy them

for my sister-in-law.

Yes, let us.

Give me two, but they

should be fragrant.

I get them from the gardens, sir.

- What, garlands.

No, flowers.

- Say that.

If I hadn't bought these

flowers, you'd never tell me.

Tell me who is she?

Where does she live?

Whom are you talking about?

I thought it was for Suman.

Don't avoid it. Tell me where

does she live and who is she?

Whom are you talking about?

The girl with whom

you have your continuity...

Continuity!

What continuity?

ln Hindi, it's Love

and in Bengali too.

Ladies and Gentleman.

There are young men who...

know nothing about love.

- Anand! What are you doing?!

Then tell me.

- There's nothing to reveal.

Lies again.

Ladies and Gentleman...

You're blackmailing me.

- Black or white.

You'll have to tell me.

What should I tell?

- Who is she?

There must be someone

who makes your heart beat.

Babumushai, you're eyes reveal

that there is someone.

Babumushai, tell me please.

You know that I...

She was my patient and

was suffering from pneumonia...

While giving her treatment I...

I understand. What's her name?

- Renu.

Where does she live?

- She teaches in a school.

Did you kiss her?

- What?!

Did you ever kiss her?

- Naughty.

What are you shy about?

- Anand, don't be silly.

This is strange Bengali love.

Love should be like that.

Who is it?

ls the doctor in?

- Yes, he is.

Can you call him?

- I will, surely.

Please be seated.

Tell me what's your problem.

Don't be worried.

Our doctor is a magician.

The moment he touches you

the patient get's up...

and starts playing cricket.

But you're a girl;

you'll play badminton.

You're laughing.

I'm telling you the truth.

You won't find a doctor

like him.

Anand, whom are you

talking to?

Renu! You here?

- I'm dead.

What dead? Renu, he's my

best friend, Anand.

Babumushai, isn't she that

continuity one.

For whom your heart beats

and you spend sleepless nights?

Anand! What's going on?

No, you didn't tell me you

spend sleepless nights but...

Renuji, you teach at a school.

- Yes.

You suffered from pneumonia.

- Yes.

And he cured you.

- Yes.

How do I know?

He told me everything.

He's very shy and timid.

- Anand.

Sorry, I can't call her

my sister-in-law as yet.

But why are you yelling at me?

You're in love with the

girl and can't you tell her.

Will you please shut up?

When Salim and Anarkali

are quiet about it...

Mughal-E-Azam is doing

the talking.

But Renuji, I'm telling the truth.

He's in love with you.

I'm leaving now.

I hope you didn't believe Anand.

- No.

Why didn't you, he spoke

the truth.

What I couldn't reveal so long

my friend has done so.

But Renu if these feelings

are not reciprocal, tell me...

So I won't be embarrassed later.

You're friend was right;

you're really timid.

That's it. Everything was perfect.

Now that Anand has broken

the barriers...

I feel like revealing all

that has pent up in my heart.

Then do so.

- Let's go out. Shall we?

Are you going somewhere?

Yes, Anand, we were going

for a walk. Will you join us?

What are you gaping for?

Will you join us?

Yes, I'll come.

Let me get my coat.

Why did you call him?

- I was being courteous.

ldiot! He agreed immediately.

No problem, we'll leave.

Why do I need a coat?

Come, Babumushai... let's go.

Did you notice the color

of the water?

lt looks like the evening

sun has melted and...

Hell! I feel as though a

small boy has fallen down...

and hurt his nose and is

bleeding profusely.

You fool, if you love the

girl, hold her hand...

and propose to her.

Why are you showing

her the sea and the sky.

Timid.

Hypocrite.

I hate you.

I've never seen this

friend of yours before.

He came a month ago from

Delhi for treatment.

What happened?

It's a fatal disease.

Do you know...

he won't survive for

more than 2 to 3 months.

Unless God shows some Miracle.

You never believed in God.

I feel like believing in Him.

I don't mind believing in

anyone just for Anand's sake.

He's so jovial.

Please don't tell him.

He knows. He knows everything.

And yet...

No wonder even the Gods

can't live without him.

Come, Bhaskar.

So early in the morning?

Didn't Anand come along.

- No.

He's gone to the police station.

- Police station? Why?

He was going somewhere

when I asked, he replied...

I'm going to the police

station, Babumushai...

to get a warrant against you.

He was just joking.

I told him many a times not

to go out alone...

You never tell me anything

about Anand.

What's happened to him?

Get an extra cup for

Bhaskar first.

Be seated.

Prakash, I've some bad news.

- Why, what happened?

We'll have to inform

Trivedi soon.

Anand will not be able

to move around for long.

What's this? Will you

treat him with just tea?

What would you like to have?

Oh! Do you have to ask him.

The cake that we got

yesterday...

Will you cut it next year

on your birthday?

You're always after me.

Trivedi had called up

from Delhi yesterday.

Anand has written a

long letter to him.

He's written that unless he

fixes up your wedding...

and finishes his work...

Unless he completes his work

he will not return to Delhi but...

not go anywhere else.

Prakash, one thing puzzles me.

How can his relatives

live without him?

I wouldn't be able to

stay without him for a day.

Anand doesn't have anyone,

Bhaskar.

What do you mean by no one?

There must be some relative.

No, he's an orphan who came

to Delhi during the partition...

He lived with his relatives

for sometime.

When he started earning,

he ran away.

His relatives always thought

he was trying to run away.

He loves Suman a lot, he

told her everything.

He also said, wish one could

choose friends...

as one could his relatives.

He also said that after

meeting us...

he has started believing

in long lasting relationships.

Trust me, as much as we

worry about him...

the more he worries about us.

I know Prakash.

I also know that this love

is his strength.

That's why he can survive.

If it was someone else he'd

been bed-ridden by now.

Sometimes I feel scared that

the remaining few months...

will end for Anand very soon.

When I leave him alone in

the mornings...

I feel worried whether I'll

see him alive in the evening.

Excuse me. A school teacher

named Renu lives here.

Can you tell me the

number of her house?

Renu... the one with

the long plaits...

and round vermilion

on her forehead...

The one with the dimpled smile?

- Yes.
