find any companion your entire life.

Its not like that...if

I seek actively...

Somebody or the other

She sacrificed her own happiness

to tolerate all his tantrums...

Moni..Moni..come fast.

Grand pa...

I switched on the

light in the morning.

He didn't get up...

Get up grand pa...

Moni..

Call Dr.Ghosh.

Grand pa.

Piku, hey Piku.

Oh that means either

Cardiac Arrhythmia.

Basically irregular heartbeat...

...or Sleep Apnea.

...respected brother always

wished for a peaceful death.

Yes uncle, no tube, no ventilator.

Dad was happy,

he said it was the best motion...

...he always forced me to listen to him

but he made sure death also listened to him

Let me tell you

all dad was in peace.

He was in no pain.

And those who know dad they know he

had just one problem constipation.

But that too got

cured before he left..

..so dad's death was a happy

one and I'm going to miss him.

Now no one will call

me from this room, Piku... Piku.

Bhashkor da was a

big attention seeker.

If that man sees Piku is here

all sad, roaming with her hair open...

...he'll come immediately

and take her away too.

Piku, l love Bhaskor da.

Piku, come here for a minute.

Or maybe he has already

made a plan of coming back...

...as Piku's kid...

...daughter don't mind me saying

but I need to tell you something.

But I will pray to

god if he comes again...

...then he should come

without constipation.

You and Syed are close, its ok.

But respected brother

had just one issue with this...

...loook its my duty to tell you.

He felt in fact he was sure,

that Syed, he too has constipation.

Syed.

You want a drink?

Do you have constipation?

Huh?

Do you have constipation?

Yeah.

Why didn't you tell me before...

I mean its not

chronic just Piku...

Here is the balance amount

and this is for petrol.

And what about that

outing on Ganga ghat.

And that mental torture that I

went through because of your dad..

...where is the money for all that?

My god yaar, he kept

everyone on their toes.

You can't judge parents

no, no matter how they are.

After taking care

of that kind of a man.

Even you've come in the category

of Rani Laxmi Bai, Annie Besant...

...kinds you know

the great women.

Anybody in my place

would've done that.

No one does it these days.

So now?

Will you manage it alone?

I think so.

I mean that much
