Mahapurush O Kapurush Page #3

officers stay within one..

..and half kms from

here. - How much sugar?

2 spoons. -They are

not of our status.

We cannot mix with them

after working hours.

I see. - Mrs. Gupta, will

you not take an omelet?

I take only tea in the morning.

Mr. Roy, I can give you a

subject for your story.

What? - There is a rigid

caste system in..

..this area. A Manager

can socialize only..

..with another manager. - l

would not have a cup of tea..

..with you if you were the

assistant manager of our factory.

Atkinson, T.D. Chatterjee, Mehra,

Teddy Walter, they are of my..

..status. - Do

you people follow it.

The British had established

it in their 200 years tenure.

I can't break the rule by

my "one man's revolution".

Thanks.- I did not like

it in the beginning.

But later thought that my life

will be easier, smoother if..

..I follow it. - I don't

think about it now.

But your conscience?

If you have your conscience..

..you should drown into alcohol.

How is the tea? - Excellent,

is it from this tea garden?

Yes, I will give a packet

of tea for you.

But your conscience will not

drown in it, just float in it.

Are you comfortable? -Yes.

Mr. Roy, are you married? - No.

Are you contemplating? - Had

you ever been in love?

Have you felt embarrassed

in front of my wife?

No, certainly not. - Actually

you look romantic.

So we both were

guessing about you.

But remember my bungalow is

very appropriate for honeymoon.

Ticket..

2 tickets for Bhobanipur.

Take the ticket.

It's so embarrassing!

This has never happened before!

Do you know what's

more shameful? - What?

It will be more shameful if you

will not return the money.

Ok.

I am an Economics student not

a philosophy student like you.

Don't worry I will return

it to you tomorrow.

With interest? - lnterest?

You have a book of Bageswari

series. Haven't you?

Do you want that? -ls it yours?

Not mine, but I can lend you.

- Then give it to me tomorrow.

Where to meet? - At the

north east corner of..

..the college corridor?

- Where?

In front of the Library.

4.30 sharp. - Ok.

'l see you again and

again on the way..'

You will meet someone at the

age of nineteen and half..

..in your life, a big one..

who will.. - A big problem?

No.

What happened?- To touch your

hand I had to become the palmist.

No other way, if you

have no courage..

..you have to gather

some the other way.

Do you know, Karuna?

It's the fault of our culture.

In foreign countries, the girls

and boys mix freely, even openly.

Stop. This is not in our culture.

- But do you consider this as a..

..romantic place?

Only the real place is heart.

The real feelings

are in the heart.

There's no crowd there.

Nobody can control you there.

- But still I don't like Karuna.

Sometimes it is unbearable.

I feel restless, frustrated.

When the time comes, then you

don't need to control yourself.

Karuna, I want to hold your

hand. Will you give it please?

Will you stop the car? - Why? I

just want to light a cigarette.

Sorry. - It is all right.

Do one thing.

Relax your body a bit.

My car is not a Rolls Royce.

- Karuna, get down.

I am going to get some water.

Karuna! - I myself am giving

the answer to my question.

You can never be happy. There're

no similarities in the..

..nature of you and your husband.

Why don't you admit this?

Because I don't want to be happy.

Don't you want it now also

even if you get the chance?

What chance?

- Can't you leave him?

..for any cause? The person

who drinks so much.

Doesn't he ever torture

you on any day?

I am prepared, Karuna.

Forget the past.

I was a coward then.

I have courage now.

Please, Karuna. - If I tell you,

I don't love you now.

Do you love him, Karuna?

You do not know him. No one

can be known in one day.

It maybe, still.. - Then?

How much you know him?

You are only guessing.

-But I cannot believe.

Why? I also can change

You? - What happened?

Last time, when we were going for

picnic, haven't we stopped..

..here for water? -Yes,

this is the spot

I could not find the tree where

I had written my name.

Do you want to have some

experience of whisky?

Yes, I want to be like you.

- Just a little.

Please..

Now, you are a man

Man is also like a machine,

like a motor.

Give me a cigarette

of yours. - Thank you.

Have you taken your

lunch properly? - Yes.

My grandfather's lunch used to

consist of a whole goat..

..and my grandson will

eat an whole apple.

Have you got any subject

of your story?

Karuna please..

Turn to me at least once, Karuna.

See this burn. You had slept

off like that only.

Let us go.

I will drop you at the station,

drop my wife at home, then I'll..

..go to Atkinson's house.

- Don't do that, Mr. Roy.

You are our honored guest.

Mr. Roy! - Yes? - Is your

suitcase heavy?

No, not at all. - I will drop

you at the level-crossing.

You have to walk fifty yards.

- That is all right.

Thank you very much.

- Best of luck.

Don't forget to put my

character in your story.

No, certainly not. - Bye.

When we visit Calcutta,

I want to watch your movie.

Mr. Roy, when you visit our place

the next time, you'll talk and..

..we will listen.

Isn't it, Karuna?

Karuna.. you?

Have I left my sleeping

pill pack with you?

Please give it to me. I need it.

I didn't get it from the

chemist. - Karuna..

Please give it to me, dear.

Bye.
