Meri Jung Page #4

To tell you the truth...

...nothing is as charming as

lndian music and culture.

And lndian decency has

its own distinct sheen...

Do you know the name

of this flower, Gita?

On one hand, there's you,

who lived abroad throughout...

...but respect the lndian culture

and norms. And then, he...

...who has never gone abroad, but

yet think themselves to be English!

Actually, it's their parents' fault.

Had they not spared the rod,

their kids wouldn't go rot!!

- Another photo of Arun Verma.

- ls he your real brother?

Your phone.

- lndu here. - Yes dear?

- l phoned you even at home.

- l was a bit busy.

- Let's meet on Sunday.

- l have so much to tell you!

- Don't bore me now.

That's Arun's sister, Komal.

Can l present a beautiful flower

to a girl who's as beautiful?

- You may not know me...

- l know you. You're Vicky.

- And you're a fantastic dancer.

- Suppose l answer this raise...

...by offering another

flower? Please have it.

Anybody can dance well.

But he needs a good partner.

l was on the look out for one,

who was graceful, and beautiful.

And that partner... is you!

This is for our partnership.

- But l don't dance as well as you.

- You'll pick it up.

l'll teach you. We practice

daily after the 6th period.

And from tomorrow you'll be there.

This is for our appointment.

And this one is for

that day when...

...our partnership will turn

into a deep friendship!

- Hats off, Guru.

- This girl will be an easy prey.

And then l'll show Mr. Arun Verma...

...what it means to insult me!

- l've a lot against you.

- Me? Go on.

The Justice Department has

tried many a time...

...to get you to fight a case

from the Govt. side. But you...

...you don't have the time for it.

l became a lawyer to save,

not to sentence my clients!

Nobody can argue against you.

Come and sit with me for

some time. Come on.

You must've met this young man.

He's from your waters.

l've heard the name. l think

l've seen you somewhere.

The lawyer you saw arguing

in Dr. Mathur's case, was me.

Oh! l see. A very

interesting case that.

Actually, l meet so many people,

it's difficult to remember them.

Never mind. l remember

everything however.

Of course! Who can forget

Thakral the Great?

- Right. At least l can't.

- Very kind of you.

- Mr. Khanna, it's your move.

- What move?

- l think you've won this round too.

- Excuse me, Mr. Khanna.

His position is strong, no doubt.

But, he's not invincible.

- ls that so? Then join in.

- May l? - Of course.

Two lawyers locking horns.

Let's see how they make moves.

No! This game is uneven.

Mr. Verma has just come.

And the game's already mine.

He doesn't have any place to move.

Sir, when a player, is in

a very good position...

...he's so over-confident,

that he's unable to see...

...that he has left a space

empty in some corner.

And that's where he loses!

Wonderful! A very good move.

But a player in a sound

position can protect...

...anyone of his spaces

anytime he wishes.

Sure, but to do that he has to

use a little of his strength...

...for the other side.

And that weakens him a little.

And when he's weakened, that's

when he can be nailed.

Look. To save the Queen.

...you've left your king unguarded.

Thus,...

Sir, you've lost this round.

Never mind. This is

hardly our last game.

Yes, true enough.

Avoid taking risks and

playing so carelessly.

Don't take today's young men

to be weak, Thakral.

My brother remembers, only

his official appointments.

And the dates that fall in Courts!

Everything else, he forgets.

lt was just last night that we

decided to go to the theatre tonight.

- How can he forget so soon?

- There are 24 hours in between!

- And a man can forget 24 things!

- lt's already six o'clock.

Not exactly 6 o'clock,

and l'm here!

- Just give me 2 minutes, and

l'll just change. - Listen Arun.

- Whose photo is this? - Why?

- l've seen her somewhere.

You've seen her? Where?

l've met her somewhere.

- What are you saying?

- Yes. lt was this very face.

Last year when l worked in the

Thana Mental Hospital...

...l had seen her there she's

there for the past 15 years.

She doesn't say where she's from.

But keeps blabbering about...

- ...some court case being on...

- lt's a fact. lt did happen.

- What else does she say?

- And refers to two kids...

Pinky... Anu.

Yes, Doctor. l'm that Anu.

And that's Pinki there.

That woman in the mental home,

is our mother.

Our mother! Where's this place?

l want to meet her.

You all sit here. She must

becoming. But remember...

...you won't meet her together.

You'll meet her one by one.

Remember. Her thoughts

and her memory...

...are where they were

15 years ago!

She still thinks her husband is

in jail and the case is going on.

And that she has two small kids...

...who're all alone at home

even now. Don't say anything that...

l understand, Doctor.

Be assured. We'll see her.

Even meet her.

But we won't call her ''Mother''.

Are you the one, who, has

come to meet me? - Yes.

- Did Mr. Gupta send you?

- Yes... he did.

He had told me to ask you...

...whether you're comfortable here.

lf you're looked after properly.

Yes. Everybody's nice here.

l'm really fine.

But, the kids are alone at home.

And that worries me.

l feel like going home,

but our Senior doctor here...

Such a nice man!

A good man. He says...

...stay a while for the case.

The case is in this city now.

So l thought why not

stay a few more days?

This case has made our home life...

But l'll go home in a day or two.

My doctor keeps saying that.

What shall l say? Half the day

goes in the case matters.

And the other half,

worrying about my kids!

Poor thing. Who's she?

- Komal...

- What's wrong with you?

Take her out, please.

This is a hospital after all.

Must've come to see somebody.

- Are you a lawyer with Mr. Gupta?

- Yes, l am.

From your black coat, l could

make out that you're a lawyer.

What do you think?

Tell me the truth.

He'll be acquitted, won't he?

you... you...

Why do you look at me like that?

- Do you think that he's...

- No?

Nothing will happen to him.

Your husband's innocent.

And who'll punish an innocent man?

l thought you'd say that he's...

Okay then. May l go now?

Mom!

That is my mother.

For the past 15 years,

in this mental asylum.

Those past 15 years, l didn't

even know if she's alive or dead.

And today,... l saw her

in this state!

What shall l say?

ls she alive... or, dead?

l want to speak to the greatest

lawyer in lndia, Mr. Thakral.

- Who's speaking?

- lt doesn't matter. Where is he?

He's gone to a Club Meeting.

Some members of this Club,

ordered me...

...to come and give my

opinion, as a lawyer,...

...whether capital punishment...

...should be used, in the law.

Some soft-hearted people say,

it should be banned.

But emotions have always been

at a distance from realities.

That's what l believe. l have

always been a staunch supporter...
