Posto Page #5

---

This has to be handled very slowly...

With time...

little by little...

Posto has to get accustomed to our life...

You and your father both are raving mad...

We also have to understand

Ma and Baba's situation honey...

Nowadays...

Deliberately...the man sleeping in

the living room insults me...

Do you see that or you don't?...

Tell me yes or no...

He insults me...

I know...

Don't react...

No... don't react...

as if you didn't even hear...

Somebody has to keep

his calm... right honey?...

Raving mad...

What is this?..

Where are you going so early ?...

Home...

Meaning?...

You're going home like

this... all alone?... meaning?...

I'll not stay here a minute longer...

Slow down...

Why are you overtaking?...

There's no need for all that...

Baba I'm driving at 60 Km per hour...

This is a high way... we can speed upto 100...

let me drive please...

Driving on the highway

is a different proposition...

It's not everyone's cup pf tea...

Put on the indicators...

I have... long time back...

Do you use half clutch?...

Baba will you please let me drive?...

We'll get into an accident now...

Someone who has no control

over his life or character...

How can he control a car?...

Meaning?...

Meaning those who are alcoholics...

They are not good drivers...

How is my driving related to this?...

I really don't understand...

What an experience I had in Kolkata!

I woke up last night out of thirst...

was looking for water...

Saw a bottle on the table...

thought it must be water...

The moment I drank it...

oh my God!...

My insides were on fire...

There's alcohol in the kitchen...

Alcohol in the refrigerator...

Bottles beside the window...

Bottles even in the garden in

Shantiniketan...

Oh my God! How terrible!

You have to be sent to the rehab...

It's a blessing

that Posto doesn't live with you...

How will he live?

Alcoholic, jobless father...

How can a child live there?

I am an alcoholic... happy?...

I'll lead my life the way I want...

You don't like anything about me...

My life... my nature...

me getting gifts for Posto...

Nothing...

You just don't like me...

That's all...

And yes... I am not jobless...

I am starting a business...

Going over to UK...

The deal has been closed...

And I'll take Posto along...

From now on Posto will live with his parents...

I am worthless right?

I don't have what it takes to be a father...

Today I'm challenging you Baba...

I'll take Posto to Kolkata...

I'll take him to UK...

Lets see how you stop me...

Hey... What are you doing?..

Baba... close the door...

Baba what are you doing?... Baba...

Baba close the door...

Baba...

Baba please I'm begging of you...

Oof !

Baba please get into the car...

You are not well...

Baba please...

Baba... Ma will scold me...

Baba... Ma will kill me...

You're unwell...

Baba, I'm begging of you...

Please get into the car...

You're unwell...

Baba, this is looking really awkward... please...

I'm begging your forgiveness...

Hey... where's your father?

Baba got off ahead...

Meaning?.

You let him get off in this state?...

Baba doesn't listen to me...

He got off...

I was scared of this...

The moment I heard

you're returning together...

I knew something will go wrong...

Posto finish your food...

I'll write to Posto's principal tomorrow...

I'll take Posto away to Kolkata...

I won't stay a second longer in this house..

Have patience... it's still a

week left to his holidays...

Then we'll see... Posto...

No... we have to go before that Ma... Posto!

See... see how he has become...

Doesn't listen to me at all...

Posto... come here...

He does this only when you are around...

Eat... stand and eat...

finish your food...

It's already so late...

he still hasn't returned...

You shouldn't have left your father alone...

Ma, Baba doesn't listen to me...

What you do is beyond me!

Where are you?

What is this?...

Didn't I ask you to...

sit quietly and eat...

One tight slap!

Lower your hand...

Lower your hand right now!

You have no right to discipline him...

Nobody has the right to

hit him in this house...

He is my son!

You were challenging me, right?

Even I'm telling you...

I'll see how you even

take Posto to Kolkata...

Leave aside London...

I'll see you in the court ...

Your honour!...

Today is a fascinating day!...

One can call it historic as well...

Dale Carnegie has said...

When dealing with people...

you remember...

you're not dealing with creatures of logic...

but the creatures of emotion...

today is the day to experience that...

We know that...

In the court of law

there is no space for emotion...

Emotion, principles and this fight

with law is an old one...

1890...

Guardian and Wards Act...

in its clause 19 says...

In the presence of

the father... anybody else

...can demand the right to guardianship...

This is that case...

My client, Mr Dinen Lahiri...

Has claimed the right to guardianship

of his grandson, Arka Lahiri...

What is important here is that...

the Honorable Supreme Court has time

and again stressed that...

in case of guardianship and child custody...

First and the paramount consideration

is the welfare of the child...

And not the power or rights

of the parents under any statute...

His parents are alive...

... in a happy married relationship...

Then one might ask... why this case?...

Because ever since his birth... Arka...

Has been brought up by

his grandfather Dinen Lahiri...

Arka's father had officially written

a letter to his son's school...

that in their absence...

they stay a little far away...

Mr Dinen Lahiri and Gouri Lahiri...

will be the guardians of Arka..

My honour...

We have seen this

sort of cases between parents...

But today's case is between

the grandfather and father...

My client Mr Dinen Lahiri is

a socially responsible citizen...

He has been a professor for 33 years...

This should be noted that he has

not claimed parental rights...

He has claimed the guardianship...

Naturally...

A few questions may arise here...

What is proper guardianship?...

Parents have come and visited

for seven years... gone back...

Today they are here to take Arka abroad...

Is he the true guardian?

Or the man who is bringing up Arka...

educating him... nurturing him...

Arka is growing up

under his guidance and love...

He is walking towards a secured future...

Dinen Lahiri is claiming guardianship to

keep that innocent child with him...

Who is the rightful guardian then?

The biological parents?

Or the caregiver parents?...

Who is the guardian then?..

Devaki or Yashoda?...

Who is the guardian?...

That's all your honour!...

Milord!

This isn't even a case...

If this case goes on... then parents..

will never want to keep their

children with their grandparents...

They'll be scared... yes scared...

In today's world... which is the

world of working parents...

These grandparents should

stand by their children...

Help them... but instead they
