could stay with us

get to know his parents

Isnt it Baba?...

Baba...Baba please...

I was talking to you...

Please Baba just listen to me

First procure a job...

Earn the qualifications to be a father...

then claim the responsibilities of a 'father'

And if you cant give

time to your child

You can do the least

by not bribing him with gifts

Babai, please say you'll play

They have Granduncles Alu and Khoka

including Guruji in their team

Itll be you and me in our team

Thats it we will win

Was it necessary for Ma to take him away?

He could have slept with us...

Would we have a problem?...

Doesnt Ma remember that

I need my son's touch..

In fact, I think she does this deliberately...

Hello...

Ask the client to come over there...

No... I won't speak over the phone...

Yeah... also send in the car early...

Baba thinks I'm worthless...

Apparently I don't have what

it takes to be a father...

Running around like this since morning...

And don't leave the Art and

Crafts notebook in school...

Bring it back... I'm reminding you..

Don't leave the Art and Crafts notebook back....

I will leave it in school...

What?...

I'll also not get the creative writing

notebook from Joydeep...

Okay... Then wait and watch

what happens to you...

Tata Posto!...

Bye bye Babai...

I'll make you sit in the garden at night...

Then they'll come down from

the trees and grab you...

Then you'll see... come on...

Why have you made my bag so heavy?...

If something happens to me then

you will be solely responsible...

Look at his drama!

This whole area was then looked

after by the Bearded Man...

He was very strong and this tall!...

Did he have moustache?..

Yes... moustache rolled up like this...

With a bamboo stick in his hand...

Was the Bearded Man a dacoit?...

Ummm... Yes...

Ma please keep this...

What is this?...

This is for Posto...

Ma please don't say no...

Trust me, I earn enough...

For both of us...

Ma... please...

Let Anu start earning again...

Anyway your father gets his pension...

Giving out tuitions...

What else do we need?...

Whatever you have given us for Posto...

Everything has been saved...

We haven't spent a penny...

Whatever you've given us for seven years...

Seven years!...

You know it... that we

are still alive...

Only for Posto...

I couldn't even be part

of his childhood...

Taking him to school...

preparing his tiffin for school...

Bathing him... feeding him...

Sleeping together...

I got nothing...

Even I could have done it Ma...

Trust me, I could have managed...

How are my friends managing it?...

Arunita, Sathi, Debarati...

They are working mothers as well...

They are still managing...

Arunita is a single parent...

divorcee...

She is bringing up a 5 year old

daughter all by herself...

Does everyone have the luxury of

living with grandparents?...

I miss Posto so much...

You couldn't have managed...

You couldn't have darling...

Anu had just joined his job then...

Used to get his salary every alternate month...

You had this small one room flat in Kolkata...

You had also just joined...

How could you have managed?...

You don't have anybody from

your side of the family...

Look at me...

Look at me now...

Is Posto unhappy here?

Are we not raising him properly?

I haven't said that Ma...

Ma all that I'm saying is that

Arnab has time now...

I'll also get some time out...

Ma please let us take Posto with us...

Whatever you've told me is fine...

I dare you to go say this to his grandfather...

He'll chop you in to pieces...

Don't I've enough trouble already?...

On this soft and sunny winter morning...

Today's famous cricket match's

commentary is being made by...

Me... Khoka...

From this ground in Purba Pally...

Today's famous match..
