Thank you, your honour

Tell me, why does he keep

repeating this to his father?...

Father! I couldnt

Tell me...

Apu was my first child...

My best student..

Not only the environment of

Shantiniketan

He had made Tagore's songs his life...

He really wanted to...

become a teacher here...

and spend his days like that

But he didnt get the chance

Though he had all the qualifications...

This incident caused me a lot of pain

I was very heartbroken...

he, too, broke down..

Unable to get a chance

used to eat away at him...

At him?...

Or did it eat away at you?...

Be honest didnt you blame

him for not getting through?...

The way you blame all your children

Didnt you blame Mr Arnab?...

Didnt you call him jobless?... Alcoholic?...

He is not worth being a father

Havent you mocked him in front of

his son for quitting his job?...

Mr Lahiri

You couldnt

keep your first child

It wasnt stress or depression

You, virtually, pushed him

towards suicide

This is practically a suicide note

And you are to blame for it You

You couldnt even keep your first child

How do you even imagine

keeping your grandson?

And thats all your honour.

Fierce gales speed forth

Clouds darken all directions

Oarsman! Time to steer the boat.

You hold tight the rudder

I will unfurl the sails...

Row, row, row your boat

Heave and Ho!

In its chains time and again

Echo the clash of cymbals...

Doubt-laden cries they are not.

The boat can endure

the anchors no more.

Restlessly it rocks therefore...

Row, row, row your boat

Heave and Ho!
