Uncle!

Where's dad?

See there!

Uncle!

See there!

Hail Goddess Durga!

Take.

Write letters for the

next 12 days. One each day.

What if I don't have

anything to write?

Then write the same.

And what if I forget?

Then you won't be forgiven.

Really?

What'll you do?

Dare to forget, first.

What happened?

Why are you leaving?

I have to attend college.

I've an exam.

I've to clear it.

What's the use?

Meaning?

You're doing all this for a job.

And a job means daily wages.

Yes.

- And daily wages means money.

Yes.

As if you're falling short of money?

Then?

When he was studying in England..

..was Raja Ram Mohan Roy,

short of money?

No.

Do you know?

How intelligent your husband is?

Do you know what the

professors say about me?

As if you can't be

educated without learning English.

Isn't your brother educated?

Yes,, he is. But it's

the same ancient thing.

There's a difference of an

age between me and my brother.

Do you understand?

You didn't understand?

You won't understand.

Yes.

Suppose, I pass the exams.

And get an opportunity to go abroad.

Then I'll have to go.

Will you come with me

Why won't l? I'll

accompany you wherever you go.

Tell me.

What if father doesn't agree?

He won't be able to live without me.

Assume that I've convinced father.

Then?

How'll Khokha stay without me?

Khokha will stay.

Will he be able to?

As if there's only one small boy.

Whatever it is.

I won't call you

as 'mother' anymore.

You've given me, you've helped me.

You're the light of my path.

I won't call you

as 'mother' anymore.

I call out to you repeatedly..

..as mother. Mother!

Have you remained as a mother?

You've become my eye, guiding me

through, I call out to you repeatedly..

..as mother! Mother!

Have you remained a mother?

You've become my eye.

Provided me with knowledge.

Mother, listen to

the pleas of your son.

Can a son survive if his

mother dies? I won't call you as..

..'mother' anymore. You've

given me, you've helped me.

You're the light of my path.

I won't call you

as 'mother' anymore.

I'll go from house to

house and beg for food.

I won't come to take

shelter in your arms.

I won't call you

as 'mother' anymore.

You've given me, you've helped me.

You're the guiding light of my path.

I won't call you as 'mother'.

Mother! Give me something.

Mother!

The load of work

that I've given to you..

..are you unhappy about that, dear?

What else can you do, mother?

This old son..

..can't do anything much for you.

Oh God!

Should I be paying

attention to you all the time?

As if I don't have

anything else to do.

No.

Don't call out to me when

I'm at work. Understood?

Aunt! Aunt!

Won't eat from my hands,

or do anything else.

Close you eyes.

Don't open it.

Open your mouth.

Wait a minute.

Give.

Whom will you give it to?

To the postman.

Give it.

Come back straight, after giving it.

Postman uncle!

You don't have to sing anymore.

Go to sleep.

Lie down properly.

Only then will I narrate stories

to you, like every other day.

Now, lie down properly.

What story?

That's a very good story.

You'll like it very much.

Stay there, I'll be back.

Jairam!

Mother! Give me some rest.

Give it.

Does mother appear before you..

..just because you call her name?

Can you tell me how many

people have such a mother?

5 years back.

When I wasn't able to

walk without a stick.

Hadn't mother been there..

..then I wouldn't have been

able to come back to this state.

Do you know what all I did, dear?

I couldn't find peace

of mind in this world.

So I thought..

..that going to the

pilgrimage spot in Tarapore would..

..be a good idea.

But that wasn't to happen.

You came into this house.

The house was brightened up.

Then the desire died down.

In this old age..

..when I've got a mother like you..

..she of course is

the Mother Goddess.

She can make the impossible,

possible.

What do you say?

Do you know what I'm afraid of?

I'm afraid about your husband.

Nowadays, it isn't easy to

handle such a fast paced boy.

You're the only one

who can control him.

He listens to whatever you say.

Does he?

Does he write

letters to you regularly?

Or does he miss that too? What?

Does he?

Does he write letters everyday?

What if I had died of shock?

Then it would've been very nice.

It would've been nice?

Then from where would

you listen to stories?

Mother. - And who would've

applied kohl to your eyes?

Mother.

And who would've fed you?

Mother.

Then go and sleep with your mother.

Why've you come here?

Tell me a story.

What story?

What story?

The story of a demoness.

Which demoness?

There're a lot of demonesses.

The one that savors the flesh..

..of small children.

There was a demoness.

One day she..

Mother!

Mother!

Mother!

Why didn't you tell this to

me for so many days, mother?

Father!

What are you doing?

Prostrate before her, son.

I was told through a dream that

she's the incarnation of the Goddess.

O Mother Goddess! O

mother of the world!

Bless me!

Mother!

What happened, mother?

Mother has entered into a state

of Samadhi (spiritual trance).

Mother!

How are you?

Which house is this, sister?

This is your house from today.

Why?

Because God has said so.

It's good for you.

A ground floor house. You

don't have to climb any stairs.

They'll worship you

in the morning and..

..the evening, as

you're an incarnation.

Where's Khokha?

He must be somewhere.

He doesn't come here.

He's terrified by the

antics of father-in-law.

I'm leaving. It's time for

the evening prayers. Ok?

Sister.

What?

Will you write a letter to him?

I will. Don't worry.

I've committed a mistake, mother.

I've committed a mistake.

Forgive me for my mistake.

Forgive me for my sin.

Dear brother-in-law.

Your wife has been reminded of

you due to an important reason.

I'm not writing much in the letter.

You'll be told

everything once you arrive.

So early in the morning?

Have you readied

everything for the priest?

If the

daughter-in-law is an incarnation..

..then why can't I be a boatman?

Where?

Oh God!

Everyone has slept off, today.

Why is every one sleeping quietly?

Blow the conch and yowl (to make

the 'Ooluk' - wolf like sound).

What happened?

Don't you feel ashamed?

You're my wife.

An old man blabbers something,

and you'll listen to him.

Don't you have your own thinking?

Won't I listen to my father?

What's the use of

listening to him? Let me know.

Is it harming you,

or is it harming me?

Khokha is here, or else..

What an act! Incarnation, eh!?

I can't tolerate

this drama, any longer.

You're feeling jealous about that?

Here, I'll bow before you.

What do you want me to do?

Everything belongs to father.

The property.

His deeds.

His land.

And his money.

What do I have?

I have a wife..

..but she doesn't let me near her.

Will I let you? You're

always soaked in alcohol.

Alcohol? Not alcohol, dear.

It's an excuse.

Get up.

Alcohol is just an excuse.
