POSTO:

Catch me!

Gouri Aunty, hows your knee now?

Knee its ok now

My suggestion is to gift a grandchild

to every arthritic patitent,

Theyll be cured instantly.

Parents of Arka Lahiri!

Arkacome here lets go

See you

Hello welcome

Please sit

Your grandson has stood third in class

A+ in all subjects

Only a little weak in spellings right?

He needs to work on his spellings a little

Ok

Actually as grandparents

what you are doing is amazing!...

But I think his parents should

have been here today

Actually, they are extremely busy in Kolkata

His mother works in the loan department

Though I usually write down everything for her

Shell get all the information

Thank you

This has to be signed

Ok I usually sign this

on behalf of them.

Posto!

Posto don't run!

'Bithi maa'!

Bithi catch him.

Posto stays in his own world,

plays on his own

He laughs, he walks.

While walking along,

sometimes he thinks hard

What if we could bring down the clouds

from sky and get drenched?

Posto!

Posto likes to draw,

he likes to dance.

He likes to shiver

during winter.

His life sometimes gets stuck

in routines and schedules

In the midnight, spirits come out

and call him Posto

Running around in the grass, as evening falls,

fireflies dance and carry him away.

Posto takes a dip in the pond and

dries himself under the sun which seems so far.

Inside the hollow of a tree,

inside his mind,

Posto secretly stores a lot of unknown.

Runs like a train,

flies like an aeroplane

Does his maths and then

throws stones in the pond

He lets the stones skim

across the surface of the water

If he gets caught and

someone starts chasing him,

he comes back home panting.

Posto!

He smells the flowers and

lies down in the open fields

He adds his dreams one by one.

Only if dad could buy him

a rocket...

He could fly to the moon

in search of hidden treasure.

Posto!

Running around in the grass, as evening falls,

fireflies dance and carry him away.

Posto takes a dip in the pond and

dries himself under the sun which seems so far.

Inside the hollow of a tree, inside his mind,

Posto secretly stores a lot of unknown.

Posto!

Come home soon

All my savings went into

chit fund from the bank

When I kept it at home

500 and 1000 notes were banned

How will I pay back my loan?

I can pay back only if

I get my vehicle stolen

If the vehicle is sufficiently loaded

I'll get maximum insurance.

Im not getting that opportunity.

How do I pay the theives?...

500 and 1000 currency notes are useless.

And thieves dont accept payment in cheque

If you dont clear the loan

payment within a week

then my agent will go and

claim your vehicle wherever it is

Thats final
