to be loved.

Many years ago, he had a misunderstanding

with his wife and was living alone.

In his Ionely life, he got a little lamp

spreading rays of hope. That was me.

He called me son. From that day

onwards, I became his Ebikuttan.

I don't know when

I was born.

But the day on which he picked me up

from the street, became my birthday.

We celebrate that day,

every year with ecstasy.

College life is full

of joyful days.

One day in the Hostel, it was an

unexpected news. The death of my daddy.

All my dreams and hopes

got shattered.

My daddy's wife, who quarrelled & left

him alone years ago, came back weeping,

And wailing on the day my daddy died.

Her 2 brothers also came with her.

Then, they didn't go back.

Daddy's torment was his wife who

never loved & understood him.

But she loved only

his money.

One by one, they brought the properties

under their possession.

The adopted son of Thomas Abraham

became nobody in that house.

Who asked you to remove

this photo?

Who're you to ask that?

This is daddy's room. You can't

do here whatever you like.

Is it so? Then, today

onwards it is my room.

I'll not let you spoil this room.

You go.

I'll not. Who're you to rule me?

This is my brother-in-law's house.

I'll do whatever I want.

This is not the place for a

beggar to rule.

He will do whatever he wants.

You get out from here.

I tried to console myself that the

luxuries I enjoyed so far was just a dream.

Without nothing in life &

unwanted by anybody,

I again became all alone in

this world.

Go, You little thief. How do they start

stealing at this young age?

We shouldn't forgive these brats.

Today he stole a bun.

Tomorrow he'll even steal money.

Why do you beat him?

He is a small boy.

Don't interfere in my job.

I'll take care of him.

Is there fish? - Yes.

One fish fry. Is gravy available?

- Gravy is there.

One plate Gravy &

double Omelette.

What is there to drink?

- Coffee or Tea?

Don't you've Horlicks?

- Yes Horlicks is there.

But I don't want that.

Give me 2 Bournvitas.

Rs.37.50. It's very cheap

- Yes... Yes...

How much did it come up to?

- Rs.38.

I don't have money.

- Why is it so?

No money. - How come if

you don't have money?

I don't have money. Even if I've,

I'm not willing to pay.

What? Are you not willing to pay?

- Yes, call your police. Call them.

I've seen you earlier. Have I not?

- Yes.

Where was it? Tell me,

idiot.

Speak decently. - Okay, I'll be

polite to you, Sir.

Where did I meet you, Sir? - I'll tell

you. This is my prestige issue.

I've to sell tickets worth Rs.50,000

for a cursed football tournament.

Please buy a ticket for

Rs.5000 and help me sir.

While you were pleading to my father

saying this so politely, I was also there.

Even now if you don't recognise, for

the police club anniversaries,

And all other ventures of yours,

There was a rich man in this

city who donated generously.

Thomas Abraham, do you remember him?

Oh! Mr. Thomas Abraham's son

- Not son but adopted son.

Okay You go - Sorry sir,

I'll not go.

Your people have brought a poor boy

here, with a charge of stealing a bun.

Both of us have done the same crime.

Stealing.

He is an orphan from the street.

Are you like him?

Of course not. Because I've the

initials of Thomas Abraham.

Will you take him to the court

for stealing a bun?

No. Instead you'll charge him with

all petty thefts that had happened.

Then, Court will send

him to jail.

To the midst of bigger thieves,

finally he'll come out as a very big robber.

Don't teach me this philosophy.

With due regards to Thomas Abraham,

I sympathise you.

You can go. We'll decide what

to do with the boy.

Sorry sir. If I should go from here,

you should also let that boy free.

I...

You needn't tell me. I know what

you'll tell. Did it pain when they beat you?

No. Always everyone beats me. I'm used

to this. I'll not steal hereafter.

Can I come with you sir? Whenever I

feel hungry, give me something to eat.

I'll do whatever jobs you tell me.

- Not sir, call me brother.

I don't have anybody. Can I come

with you brother?

Where? - Anywhere.

I'm also an orphan. A bigger

orphan than you.

On that day, I found myself in him.

My childhood days.

That was the beginning...

I feel like crying because of hunger.

You'll not let us beg or steal.

There is no money also. Then how'll

we eat? I'm going.

If I go to any theatre & sell tickets

on black, I'll get enough money.

Kutta, will you go?

- Yes, I'll go.

Then, what are you looking for?

Steal or sell black tickets or do anything.

Does anybody wants to go with him?

Then go. Anybody can go.

I'm not going.

What is this? What is happening here?

Get up all of you.

What're you doing with these

kids in the night?

Are you training them

to steal?

No sir, to sleep in

the night...

To sleep, is it? Is this

your father's property?

Talk directly. I'll not consider

that you're a policeman.

What will you do?

What do you think of yourself?

Are you a collector?

The other day you wanted to

rescue an orphan boy.

Now you've beat the police for the

sake of some orphan children.

Are you Jesus Christ to take care

of all the destitute & orphans?

What can you do for

them alone?

I can do anything whatever

is possible for me.

Stupid, Then, there're about

500 Orphans in this city.

I'll hand over them to you.

Take care of them. Look here,

I'm telling this because of my relationship

with Thomas Abraham.

To take care of orphans, there's Govt.

& orphanages. You can do nothing.

Hereafter, try to build

a good future for you.

First, you secure yourself.

Then you do social service.

Ebi, think again. Send those kids away.

Try for a job.

If you've any requirement, whether it's

money or recommendation, I'll help you.

Your first take care of yourself.

First come out of poverty.

Then, you can do big.

Why're coming behind me?

I don't want anyone of you.

Go somewhere.

Didn't you understand

what I said?

That day I realized, that I can never

depart from these children.

Soon we left the city.

Then we didn't stay in

any place permanently.

We moved from a place

to another,

Like birds, who don't sow or reap

or fill their granaries.

Coffee.

Good. Nice coffee.

I'll go...

Tomorrow, come to church when

it is convenient to you.

I will be there only.

- Okay father.

You can come in...

Praise the Lord.

Praise the Lord always.

Ebi, after I heard your story

yesterday, I've great respect for you.

The whole night, I was thinking

about you and those children.

But now, I feel you're

a cruel man.

Thinking that you're doing a big

service, you've been very cruel to them.

May be, you didn't intend to do it

deliberately, but that's the truth.

Look, when your father picked you up

from the streets, what did he do?

Did he send you back to the streets

to beg with a clown's attire?

No, he educated you.

That's why you're smart.

But what're you doing to

these children?
