Why don't you stop smoking?

How can l, when there are so many

Tensions?

What tensions do you have, brother?

l want to know when my

son-in-law will get a promotion.

Look at his horoscope.

l have already seen it. The

stars are a little unfavorable.

lf you perform some rites, then

everything will be okay.

Here he comes.

Hello son-in-law! Hello my dear!

Hello grandfather!

Son-in-law, did you bring the pipe?

How should l open this?

No l asked him not to bring it.

Shruti, you go inside.

Why? Why did you ask

him not to bring it?

Why do you need a pipe?

Have you taken a look at yourself?

You are reduced by half due to

your smoking habit.

And now you want a pipe!

Why do you speak like that?

This is a prestige issue..

..for our family. That neighbor,

Subba Rao boasts..

..about the pipe that his

son-in-law presented to him.

l told him that my son-in-law would

present me with a better pipe.

Now if l go empty-handed, would

l not lose my prestige?

You lost your prestige

long ago when..

..you gambled under the tree.

Say whatever you want. But one

day, l will win a jackpot..

.. and buy a car for my son-in-law.

Mr. Shastri, you tell me.

ls it indicated there, that l

will buy him a car?

Your son-in-law will definitely

own a car..

.. though l don't know whether

you will present it to him.

Did you hear that ?

Yes l did.

How else do you think he will get

a car? l will buy it for him.

Why do you talk loudly on the

streets? Why don't you..

..sit there and talk slowly?

You please come inside.

l will talk to her.

Did you not get me a golden

frame for my glasses?

Why do you need a golden frame now?

Can't you see without

a golden frame?

lt is not that. l feel

uncomfortable with this frame.

There is no need for luxuries.

First plan her marriage.

Why do you needs jeans now?

Just had a fancy for it.

ln that case, get married

and ask your husband for it.

Go now. Everyone wants luxuries.

You are advancing in age

but not in wisdom.

lt's getting late for the train.

All of you get ready.

l asked you for a packet of

sweets. Did you get it?

Yes. lt's in the bag.

My dear, what is wrong if

we satisfy their desires?

All they want are luxuries

and not important things.

lt's not that.

Am l not being responsible and

saving thousands of rupees..

..every month, for her marriage?

lf we make..

.. unnecessary expenses,

how can we run the family?

That's true.

But they may feel bad.

That is why l took the

responsibility of denying them.

Mathematics is over

- Very good. What next?

English.

English? Your dad is the king of

English. Just ask me what you want.

Not this dad.

- What then?

'O Ratanamala, do not tease

me like a love bird!'

'O cuckoo, don't sing! Why do

you want the world to notice?'

'Love is overflowing in me.'

'You are the rainbow.'

'Leave the sky and come to me.'

'Even if l love you too much, l

cannot come to you, till it is night.'

'Should we maintain this

distance for so long?'

'Should l bear this separation

even in your presence?'

'O Ratanamala, do not tease

me like a love bird!'

'Daddy, daddy. Help me with

these fill in the blanks'

' l desire you daily

like a new beloved.'

'The moon, he is observing our

actions and smiling to himself.'

'The jasmines have bloomed

like our desires.'

'Please stop this romance in public!'

'Those creepers are extending

invitations for sweet nothings.'

'Do not pester when

the time is not ripe.'

'Love has flared up like

the flames of a fire.'

'O Ratanamala, do not tease

me like a love bird!'

Please go to sleep, my dear

- l'm not feeling sleepy, daddy

Close your eyes, my dear. You

will get sleep automatically

Tell me a story then!

l'm not in that mood right now.

- Then l will not go to sleep!

Okay then.

'Once upon a time there was a king

and his very suitable queen.'

'Together, they lived a very

romantic life as a couple.'

'When the Queen approached the king

like the celestial danseuse.. '

'..and when the king

embraced the Queen.'

'When the nights and the

surroundings became pleasant..'

'..and the nights were spent

in enjoyable experiences.'

'The heart floated in joy like

a deer in a beautiful garden!'

'Now is the time for us to

indulge in some romance.'

'As you wish, my handsome

husband, Nanda Gopal'

Have your breakfast quickly,

without wasting any time.

Who applied this powder

on your face?

Ratnam, Ratnam

What is it?

Where is my file?

- Which file?

The one which l had

kept in the cup board.

lt should be there.

Who will take it?

l am telling you that

it is not there.

lt should have been here

Yes it should be here.

Have you misplaced it?

Why will l misplace it?

- Then is it there?

Now l remember it. The day

before yesterday, l took it..

.. along with your other

old books and..

.. and then, did you sell

them off as trash?

No. l will not do such

a foolish thing.

Do you know its value?

Yes, my dear. l know that it

is your thesis on business..

.. on the relationship between

business and society etc..

.. and your advice and suggestions

on the matter.

Yes, you always speak lightly about

it. But the same issue..

The same issue was dealt with, by

the great Mr. JP in his work..

.. on business. So l wish that

you too, will succeed like him.

Since morning you were just

ranting that l lost it.

Sorry dear, l'm late. Did you

pack your lunch and water?

Why did you wear the new shirt?

Did we not keep it aside..

..for special occasions?

My dear. Today we have a special

occasion in our office.

Today our madam is coming.

- Who is madam?

She is the daughter of Mr. JP.

Ms. Meghna, our chairperson.

ls she your lady boss, Ms. Meghna?

Stop it there. Why are you

so excited about her visit?

See, you are getting jealous like a

woman. But, what is her status?

Do you think your husband

is so handsome?

Okay. Her visit to the office

today is a Godsend for me.

After a long wait l have got a good

chance to put this file in her hands.

But you told me that you gave

this file to Mr. JP..

.. when you went to Bombay

three years ago!

l gave the file to his secretary and

asked him to put it on JP's table.

The secretary must have

forgotten to do it.

l also gave him a party. Anyway,

better late than never.

l will give her the file today.

Do you mean that Ms. Meghna will

surely see the file today?

Give me 50 rupees and

l will ensure it.

Oh! Will she read the entire

Book, only for 50 rupees?

No, you fool. Do you think she

is a government servant..

.. to take a bribe? l will

do a marvelous thing..

.. for just 50 rupees and

win accolades from her.

What will you do?

Look here. When madam

enters the office..

.. everyone will try to welcome

her, by smiling at her..

.. but l will very intelligently

purchase a bouquet for 50 rupees..

.. and welcome her with

that and win her over.

Oh God! He is still on the street.

- Who are you talking about?

Who else? Mr. Shastri. lf
