Vaisakhi List Page #4

No one refuses a

free ride to anywhere.

They say, "Why refuse it.

We just have to sit."

You are getting a readymade

tunnel to escape from the jail..

And you are having attitude!

Shame on you.

l am running away.

You can do that right away.

Good that she is leaving you

Stop.

l wouldn't have offered you

if you hadn't suffered like this.

l know what it means

to be away from a dear one.

You will yearn for her

like l yearn for my son ..

..if Aman gets married

to someone else. - l won't.

She cheated me.

Tarseen, for God's sake,

please leave me alone.

Ok. Then get lost.

l didn't come to you

You have come to me.

Listen to me, brother.

Think about that girl as well.

People proudly boost

about their sons-in-law.

"My son-in-law stays abroad."

What will they tell about you?

"My son-in-law stays in prison."

Look, everyone has a reason.

Only fortunate ones get love.

Don't miss the chance.

Why should l follow you?

You have a habit of running away.

lt's not a habit.

l run away to meet my son.

After my wife passed away,

l am his mother as well as his father.

'l had a small business of toys'

Here you go.

Thank you Bye good.

Toys on sale!

There are dolls with hair

and monkeys with bells..

.. keep them safe from kids,

and you get 100 years' guarantee.

Toys on sale!

Bhuggu? What happened, son?

No. Don't cry.

Mr. Tarseen? -Yes?

You don't pay attention to your son.

He is in the third grade

and he still cannot Punjabi.

This is wrong.

You are in the third grade

and you didn't even tell me.

Well done, my boy. Well done.

Scold him. He cannot read Punjabi.

lt's okay if he cannot read Punjabi.

But you should never scold him to study.

But how will he succeed

if he doesn't study?

You know how educated am l?

l have attended first grade,

that too only for half the year.

But l am running a

successful toy business.

l am very sex-full.

Daddy, successful.

You say that he doesn't know Punjabi.

But he is so good in English.

- Did she teach you that?

- l have learnt it from television.

School doesn't teach him.

He learns from television.

We are paying the fees

for no good reason, son.

Next time we will give the

school fees to the cable operator.

What can the children do

if the parents are like this?

Let the children do

what they want, sister.

But l know that l cannot see

tears in this motherless child's eyes.

He was crying when he was born.

l slapped the midwife because of that.

"No, l cannot see you cry."

"No, l cannot see you.."

Come on, sit in the shop.

Daddy, how much do you love me?

Less on Sundays and

more on every other day.

Why less on Sundays?

Because of getting up late.

- l get up at 6;00am.

- l am talking about myself.

Daddy, you will never stop loving me?

lt's not a scheme that

will come to an end, it's love.

Don't leave him before you get

Rs.5000. Do you understand?

Watch out! -Are you hurt?

Can't you see?

How dare you slap a police officer!

Can't you see?

Why are you staring at me?

l didn't appear out of thin air.

You should have looked at

the person before slapping him.

He hit a child with his bike.

You call him a person?

How can he be a person?

Okay, fine.

You should apologize to the SHO

Bheemchand, he hit him with his bike.

He should apologize.

And l will forgive him.

He is done for.

You have slapped the SHO.

You will be in prison

for around 5-6 months

- Daddy..

- They are just blabbering,

l have seen so many

cops slapping people.

But none of them was imprisoned.

No, right?

l too will come back.

Like they scare to make the kids study..

They are scaring you. You should study.

Okay.

You didn't let his mother

live in peace when she was alive.

Now at least let him live in peace.

Let him know the truth.

Son, you should learn

to live without your father.

He will keep leaving you like this.

Let's go.

Where are you going? Take me along.

Brother-in-law, l would

not mind to trade places with you.

Then do it.

No, the judge will

decide your term in prison.

l will be staying here?

How will he sleep without me?

They will have to release me.

My son cannot sleep without me.

Forget about your son..

You just see how we

give you sleepless nights.

l slapped you, right?

You should slap me in front of the

kid. And our score will be settled.

Settle down. l'll make sure

you stay imprisoned for long.

Daddy.. - Son, you got scared again.

Whose son are you?

Mr. Tarseen Lal's.

That's it.

So you don't need to feel scared.

lt's just for today.

l will be out tomorrow.

You just drink milk

and go to sleep on time.

lf you feel restless..

..you can ask your uncle to remove

all the toys from the cycle.

He will stand on

a stool and remove them.

You can play with all the toys.

We will buy more toys to sell.

Till the time you are done playing,

l will out of here.

'l was sentenced six months'

imprisonment for slapping the SHO.'

Daddy!

Give me a kiss.

Come here.

Daddy..

Yes, son?

Now you will be staying here?

Who told you that?

Everyone is saying so.

That they won't let

you out of here now.

No.

There is no prison in the world

that can keep your father locked in.

He was out all these years, wasn't he?

lf would have been inside

if he was ever imprisoned.

Why are you crying?

Well, l have cold

Stop lying.

Your nose leaks when you have cold.

My nose is blocked

hence my eyes are watery.

- Promise me that you will come out.

- l promise.

l will come out soon. Promise.

'l couldn't make a

false promise to my son.'

'Hence l tried to

escape from the prison.'

- Catch him.

- Let me go. My son is waiting for me.

Let me go.

Leave me. Let me go.

Let me go.

How must my son be

surviving without me?

l will get out of here.

And if we get caught?

Our term will be extended a little.

A little?

A little more.

Look brother, if you don't flee,

Aman will get married to someone else.

And if you succeed in escaping,

then you will have at least some hope.

You might be able to stop her wedding.

You need to decide.

When are we escaping?

We will get into

action after moonrise.

Tonight.

Barracks are locked at night.

You will break the

lock with your slipper?

From where did you get this?

lf Tarseen Lal can

dig a 30 foot long tunnel..

Then can't he make a 3 inch key?

Made it with hard work.

Not one but four.

So many?

There are four barracks.

You never know which barrack

is locked with which key.

Hence, l made four keys.

One would open my barrack

and one would yours.

So my brains work, doesn't it?

Yes, it does

lf you were in love, it wouldn't have.

Yes

l have always sold toys, brother.

- l never played with them. Life has been..

- Gather here everyone. Hurry up.

Come on.

Jailer wants to talk to everyone.

Come on.

Respected prisoners..

We are grateful from

the bottom of our hearts..

..that you gather around

after blowing just one whistle.

My dear brothers,

as you might or might not know..

..that tomorrow is 13th April.
