Meena are the rotis ready? Bring here.

Are you done? Come now. I have served the breakfast.

Yes coming…

Get me the eggs.

What’s the matter? You are not saying anything.

What would I say?

What do you mean? Don’t you have anything to say?

How many times I have told you that I want to decorate this new house as I wish.

You have done everything. Where’s the problem?

What do you mean by that? Have you seen the condition of your father’s room.

I have told him several times but he didn’t pay any heed

and brought all that old furniture here.

What would I do?

Moreover his room is in one corner. Let it be.

No, it can’t be like that.

Why where’s the problem?

What happened?

Why all these shouting in the morning?

I really don’t know. I don’t feel good at all.

Do you know, that day even my friends were making fun of me.

I felt so ashamed.

Where are you two? Please come.

Yes, coming…

What happened Bouma?

Why there are so much shouting from the morning?

That is all because of you.

Chanchal what happened?

Everything happened because of you.

Only for you I had to get humiliated by my friends.

For me?

Yes because of you.

Only because of you.

At the time of coming here, several times I had told you not to bring those old furniture here.

We will buy new ones. Have you listened to us?

Forcefully you brought all that old furniture here.

Let it be. Leave now.

Why should I leave it? Am I saying anything wrong?

Chanchal…

Bouma.

Will I say one thing to you?

Yes...

See whatever you are saying now,

I know you are not wrong.

I can understand your feelings

but I just want to tell you about one incident.

Will you please give me some time?

Yes...

May be after listening to that your mind will change.

Will you listen?

I promise you after listening to me whatever you want, that will be done.

I will not protest

And it’s my responsibility to make your father-in -law understand.

But I request you. Listen to me once. Please give me some time.

Today is a off-day.

After lunch please come to me.

Let’s talk in the drawing room.

Ok. I will come.

I know you don’t like all these old furniture in our room but you know something,

these are not only furniture.

Many sentiments of Chanchal’s father are attached to these.

Long years back in my life too an incident happened like this

and whatever I did to get rid of that situation, for that I lost my father-in-law forever.

Even today I have not forgiven myself.

I still regret.

You see the picture of your grandpa with the gramophone in our room.

That gramophone was the main problem.

Chanchal liked it a lot in his childhood.

That time my age was about 30-32.

Ok. I will come.

Ok. I will come.

Baba….Baba

the breakfast is ready. Come soon.

What are you doing? It’s getting late. Eat fast. I am getting your water bottle.

Do it fast. It’s already late.

What happened? The milk is not yet finished. Drink it.

Ma I don’t want to drink the milk today.

Drink it now.

Drink it. What’s going on. Drink it fast.

Can you tell me what your father has started?

He is listening to the songs since morning. 3 times I have called him. No answer.

I am just fade up.

Hmmm…

Are you listening to me?

Hmmm…

You are only nodding. Will you not do anything?

Eat fast.

What’s the time?

8:10 a.m.

8:10? It’s late. Let’s go fast.

Leave it now.

Let’s go, let’s go.

Come. For how long I am asking you to make it fast.

Ma give me the water bottle.

See. Does it make any sense?

That time I gave you.

Look at me.

Take it.

Let’s go.

Go safely.

Disgusting ! Not yet come.

I have served your breakfast.

Have it and do me a favoure...

Happily listening to the songs!b

Your breakfast has been served. Can you listen to me?

Intolerable!

Hello. Who is this?

Khuki?

Oh! Ma? Say...

What’s the matter Khuki? I am calling you,

why aren’t you picking up the phone?

How would I? If I could hear the ring then only I can .

But here the gramophone is being played all the day long.

Really

it is such a trouble with that .

Only trouble? That man has made my life unbearable.

Anyway tell me why did you call?

Nothing special. Just wanted to get your news.

You are not calling me for few days.

Hmm…how would I call you? Tell me. I don’t get that spare time to call.

All the day long he makes me work after his orders…

do this, do that and that irritating gramophone.

My life is finished. Just not feeling good.

Listen. Don’t let it be going.

We have to make a plan to throw that old man out of the house.

Many things can be done but your gentleman son-in-law is there in between.

Listen to me carefully.

Ma listen…mm… mm…Ma listen…

Say...

I was actually cooking. Now I am hanging up. Can I call you later?

Call me in the afternoon.

Ok. Alright.

I will lay under the tree and will come after having the food from the inn.

I will come after having the food from the inn.

I promise.

I will make love after taking air.

Why are you worrying?

I will make love after taking air.

Why are you worrying?

Why are you worrying?

Why are you worrying?

What happened? I am ringing the bell for so long.

Can't you hear the bell.

Naturally, how can you hear if you keep listening to the songs.

Come in.

I simply can’t tolerate this anymore.

Dadai…please play that song which I always listen.

You’ve just come from the school. First you take some food.

No, you play the song first then I will eat.

I will go out now.

No, later you go out, first you play the song.

Your mother will scold you. You take some food first.

No, I don’t know anything. You play the song now.

Ok, but you have the food first.

No, play now, fast.

Mad you are!

Come.

Sit.

If your mother will scold you, I will tell her that you are responsible for this.

Is this?

Yes. This one.

Ok.

I’m telling you I don’t know anything if your mother will scold you.

I won’t sing moo moo anymore.

I won’t sing moo moo anymore.

You like it? You like this song?

Yes,very much.

Babai…

Babai where have you gone? Babai….

I told you.

Dadai…

I don’t know anything.

That’s why I was refusing. Now see.

What’s wrong? I am constantly calling after you.

I am listening to the song.

Is it so? Come with me now.

Why are you hitting? He has just come from the school. will he go for studies now?

You please keep quite.

You are simply spoiling him.

He doesn’t listen to me at all

but you keep listening to the music.

You won’t understand how he is spoiling his future.

Come immediately.

All anger is about my gramophone

and the impact is falling on the boy.

The poor boy!

It’s my fate.

How many rounds?

3 rounds.

Come let’s sit now.

Why? 1 round is still left.

Let it be. Not feeling good. Come sit.

What’s the matter? Today you seem very upset.

Yes you are right.

The way Bouma beat my grandson…

Beat? Why?

That gramophone!

Actually he loves to listen to the gramophone a lot.

Coming from the school he requested me to play the gramophone but

his mother just can’t tolerate that.

But I had to play. We were listening to the song, suddenly she came shouting

and Beat the child.

I felt so insulted. But that’s not a big thing.

The child’s cry hurt me a lot.

In the afternoon he wanted to listen to the music…so what?

Listening to the song is not a big thing Robin…

the problem is that gramophone.

The gramophone is the main reason behind all the troubles.

You are talking about trouble. Every house is running with trouble.

If you feel trouble with the gramophone in your house, I am facing trouble with radio in my house.

What do you think only you are in trouble?

You are right.

But you know, Robin…

may be everyone has trouble in every family,

but this trouble of mine.... there is no way out from it.

Anyway let’s go now.

Go now? Ok let’s go.

Will you come tomorrow morning ?

Yes, I will.

I have to come. Whatever trouble is there. Still the mind will search for a little peace.

Reena truly you are too much…

from where all these come to your mind ?

What’s new in that. From the school life she has been saying like this.

See, I just can’t live a boring life. As long I will live, I will live happily.

What’s your problem tell us!

You don’t have your father & mother-in-law . No trouble at all. Completely free.

So you will live like this.

She is right. Look at me. I am just fade up with this man.

Why? What happen to you again?

What more will happen to me? My father-in-law’s gramophone!

Life is completely in a mess.

Yes I heard about your father-in-law’s gramophone from Reena.

All these things are not seen now.

I really wish to see it. Let’s go and show that to me please.

Leave now. See it later.

Why later? You told that your father-in-law is not at home, gone to the bank.

The room is empty now. Let’s go and see that please.

Let’s go once. Please. Show it.

You people are really!!

Go. Show them otherwise they will miss a wonderful thing to see.

Your father-in -law is a typical person.

At 1995 using gramophone… horrible, unimaginable!

Go go show them.

Ok. Come come.

Yes, let’s go.

Come.

Here it is. See.

My God! How old is this? unbelievable! Does it still play?

Shumi even you have to listen to all these songs?

Why are you evoking my pain?

I am already dying in pain and you people are….

But anyway this thing looks beautiful. Isn’t it Shulata?

I have seen this only in pictures.

First time seeing this in real.

Shumi are these plates made of real gold?

Yes. I heard so.

Anyway I can’t answer you anymore. Now please come.

Chandana, does your mother-in-law still creates trouble?

Trouble? The way I control her she can’t make any noise.

So, how was it?

I am surprised that this type of thing can be there in someone’s house!

Whatever you say, there is something special about that thing.What do you think Shumi?

Now please stop this topic about the gramophone. Say something else.

Nothing else… now we have to go.

Have you seen the time?

Yes.The children will be back from the school. So, let’s go.

let us go Sumi.

When will you all come again?

Next time when we will come you have to make us listen to the gramophone.

Will you do that?

Hmmm.

I go home.

I go home.

Very good write it.

Now say I am going home.

I going home.

It’s Be verb. Write I am going home.

I am going....

Now say I went home. Write.

Did I teach you past tense.

Don’t you remember that. Now write.

How will you remember. A little boy. If all the time this is going on.

What is going on?

Don’t you have any sense?

Why?

Lower down the volume.

The volume controll switch is not working.

What do you mean? Only for your songs, It will hamper Babai's studies?

No. Why so? Better you close the door of your room.

You mean I will close the door but you will not stop your music. Right?

What will I do Bouma! Time doesn’t pass in the evening.

So read books. Pass your time by reading books.

Story book… actually

I can’t see properly at night. Moreover my eyes start paining if I read books for long time.

So already you have spoiled your eyes too.

Then what can you do. Listen to the songs… loudly…more loudly.

Don’t get angry Bouma.

Better I stop the music.

Now you go and teach Dadubhai his leasson.

Where are you Goddess?

You are the one who can destroy the bad fate.

When will you be kind?

No no, not this. This is right.

Tell me what is going on? Babai's studies will be spoiled now.

Why? What happened?

What happenes? Is your father going to play the music this way?

Ufff…

No, you go now and tell him.

Ok, I will see.

No, Not later, go now and tell him.

Ok I will look into it. Now you please don’t shout. Let the boy go with his studies.

I am hungry. Please get me some food.

Ok, what else will you do!

Ufff God!

Baba!

Yes come in.

Get the stool here and sit.

Do you want to say something?

Yes, Baba…

What?

I want to say something about the gramophone.

What?

I just want to say if you can please lower down the volume a bit…

actually the sound goes to the next room.

Volume?

The volume controll switch is not working.

Awww…

You can close the door.

Ok, but can I give you one suggestion?

What?

In that the serpent will die but the stick will not be broken.

How is that?

I will buy you a tape recorder.

You can listen music in that.

You will not have any problem and there will be peace in the family.

But my peace will be gone. I will have problem.

What problem?

I mean listening to the gramophone

and listening to the modern gadgets… are much different, you won’t understand .

1935…do you remember that?

Yes. The Martin Burn company.

Hmm. Your grandfather got this as a gift.

Then you were 6 years old.

Hmm. You know everything.

You want me to change this long time habit of mine?

No no, I just want to say that I will transfer all your favourite songs in a cassette.

You can listen to that peacefully.

No, I can’t listen to anything else except to this gramophone.

Gramophone is my life. The day it will stop, I will also stop.

Again that same thing. But Baba…

No ifs and buts. You want me to change this long time habit?

Write the will. Why are you missing it?

Ok, you go now. I will see what to do.

Please look into it.

Hmm… now go.

Typical wife’s minion!

Write down neatly.

What happen? What did he say?

Baba does not agree.

I tried a lot. I said that I will buy him a tape recorder

but he won’t listen to anything else except to that gramophone.

Such an anomalous person he is!

So what is the matter now?

This will go on.

He won’t listen to any good suggestion.

My child will be hampered.

Ma why do you get so angry if Dadai listens to the songs?

Dadai has nothing else.

He only listen to the songs

and both of you don’t even talk to him.

Can you see how he is talking. Now make him understand.

Truly….

why are you talking like this?

Why are you listening to all this? Not studying at all.

Okay you are done. No no he is not studying at all. Getout from the room.

Go.

Really, I just can’t bear this anymore.

Listen, I am telling you clearly

if this will go on like this I will leave this house.

Why are you getting so angry?

No, I cannot play with my son’s future.

Sumi please calm down and listen to just one thing.

I won’t listen to a single word.

I have heard a lot for many years.

You cannot do anything.

If this will be going on continuously,

I will go to my mother’s house with my son, I tell you.

Quite please! Baba will hear that.

What are you saying?

You will go from here?

Yes.

Where will you go?

Barasat.

My friend Akhilesh, in his house.

You know him right?

Yes that zamindar house’s Akhilesh.

Yes.

Yes, one day I went there with you.

Yes.

A big house. The residents are 2 old persons and a maid.

They will keep me happily.

Here I don’t want to stay anymore Robin.

Aren’t your son saying anything?

What will he say!

I can understand his situation.

Neither he can push his father out nor can he throw his wife away.

Both way stucked.

In this situation, staying here means pushing my son in trouble.

So, this is better to leave.

There I will stay peacefully,

they will also live happily here.

Can you live without your grandson?

Initially it would be tough.

But you know, Robin,

so many people are living with so many troubles.

I will also live like this rest of my life.

Let’s go. Tomorrow I will leave, I have to do my packing,

so, today won’t get late anymore. Let’s go.

You know Chandra,

I am thinking

With whom I will have morning walk, evening walk from tomorrow.

You will surely get some other friend.

Yes surely I shall get someone. but shall I get someone like you?

Let’s go.

Baba did you call me?

Yes I want to tell you something.

Tomorrow I will not get chance to say.

After thinking a lot I took a decision.

Are you going somewhere?

Yes, I am going to my friend Akhilesh’s house in Brasat.

I called them from Nimai’s stall. Everything is fine.

But suddenly why?

See, there will be peace for both the sides.

I can understand your dilemma.

But for that you will leave the house like this?

I am not going to any foreign country.

Barasat is here only. Whenever you wish you may come.

Please give it a second thought.

I have already thought about it.

Everyone needs peace.

Bouma will live in peace. It is about your son’s future.

If I stay there will be trouble.

Tomorrow is Sunday. Book a taxi for me.

I will be okay there. Akhilesh is an old friend of mine.

They live alone there. They will keep me happily.

Do whatever you wish to do.

Such a big boy has started crying!

Even I have the same dilemma.

‘Is great’…write this.

Why are you making mistakes again and again?

Uff again!

What happened?

I am not feeling good.

Okay okay write it properly now. Like this…. ’and is…’okay? Write now.

What happened?

Tomorrow Baba is going to leave this house.

Suddenly?

Dadai is leaving the house tomorrow?

Babai listen….

What’s the matter? Can you please tell me clearly.

Baba is going to Mr. Akhilesh’s house in Barasat. Permanently.

I understand but why are you getting so upset?

You didn’t force him to leave the house,right?

He is going on his own wish.

Moreover he is not going to be a saint after leaving this place.

He is going to the house of a known person.

Do you think it is right?

You please don’t come to judge now what is right and what is wrong.

Whatever is happening, happening for our betterment.

Ma, why Dadai is leaving this house tomorrow?

Who said this… Dadai?

Yes. He said that tomorrow he is going to Barasat leaving me here.

No, your Dadai didn’t mean that.

He is right that he is going to Barasat. He is just going for a change.

Then why he is taking his suitcase with him?

Listen to him now. Poor boy!

See, your grandpa is going for few days.. he needs dresses to wear there, right?vb

so he is carrying his suitcase to keep the dresses.

So you mean Dadai will be back again?

Yes, of course.

Ok. So I am going now to tell him to be back soon.

Is there any need to tell the boy so many lies?

If I would tell the truth he would start creating trouble now.

I just don’t understand

why are you thinking so much. Leave it to me.

I am getting tea for you.

Please open the dicky.

No no it would be damaged in the jerking. I will keep this on my lap.

Ok..

I am opening the door.

I m keeping it here?

No no keep it there. Move it. I will sit keeping it on my lap

Keep the suitcase there.

Give me the bag.

I wish if Dadubhai would be here now.

Actually only once in a week he has his drawing class.

So he can’t miss that.

It’s ok. Look after him. Naughty boy! I feel worried.

I am leaving now.

Ok baba.

Wait wait…

Mind your leg.

My slipper is stucked.

Brother please drop him at the right place.

It’s ok. I know the place. Take care of yourselves.

Yes.

Listen I am going to the market now.

At the time of returning back, I will take Babai from his class.

Ok.

Uff ma please pick up the phone.

Hello.

Hello ma? I have a good news.

What?

The job is done as you asked to do it.

Really!!!

Yes, we just left him off in a taxi. Your son in-law was also there.

Where did he go?

To Akhilesh uncle’s house.

Was there any problem created regarding his leaving the house?

Nothing at all.

Your medicine has worked a lot.

Good! The problem is gone.

Listen, now you happily stay in your family.

Of course! Listen ma,

tomorrow you please come down here.

Have the lunch here and then….

Then what?

I have a lot to say to you.

Ok ok I will come.

Now I am hanging up the phone. I need to serve the food to your father.

Tomorrow we will talk about everything. Now please hang up.

Ok. Come.

Madan….

Yes sir I am here.

Place it here.

Give me this one.

Alright. You go now.

Ok I am leaving sir.

Chandra…

you have come!

Stay here without any hesitation.

Rest of the life we two friends will live together.

What will be more happier than that!

We two old persons feel suffocated here as there’s nobody to talk to.

Sit sit.

My situation is almost the same.

I am also feeling good here.

There I got suffocated.

What would you do.

Your son and daughter in-law are missing instead of their presence

and my son and daughter in-law are beyond our touch.

Why are you saying so?

Your son has gone to foreign for a good job.

Fine, let him be there.

But within the whole year they never enquire about their parents.

whether their parents are alive or dead.

What are you saying?

You are right. Both of us are the victims of bad luck!

We can do nothing Akhilesh. Everywhere is the same situation.

You are absolutely right.

Some old people come to me in the evening.

Even they have the same problem.

There is no peace anywhere.

It is said that happiness exists in the dream and peace exists in the crematory.

I have come here to find the peace of life.

You’ve done right coming here.

We got a chance to spend our time talking with you.

Otherwise we usually keep quite or watch television.

Madan……

coming Ma’am...

I was getting suffocated there. Couldn’t bear it anymore.

So much sweets in this odd time!

No excuse please. You have come after so long.

You have to take some sweet.

Actually I have left taking sweets.

Why? Do you have blood sugar?

Even I have left it much before.

No, I don’t have blood sugar

but still I have stopped taking sweets for last few years.

Nothing will happen. You have come after long days

so you have to take some sweets.

Yes yes take some please.

Please take.

Yes but too much ....

When I was young I used to take double of that.

You can still have it.

But now I'm afraid

Dada can I ask something?

Yes.

Hope you won’t mind.

Didn’t Sumitra feel regretted at all about the way you left the house?

What are you saying madam? Regret! Making me laugh..

Rather she is relieved as I came here.

Didn’t Chandan say anything?

He cannot do anything now.

It is not done. After all he has to take care of everything.

Amazing!

You have grown him up, made him a settled person.

Then after marriage

when he gets his wife, forgets his own parents.

There is nothing to think about it madam.

It feels pain thinking of this.

You are absolutely right.

Anyway you two carry on,

I go and to look into the kitchen.

Please feel free to tell us if you need anything. Right?

Ok...

Chandra please have something now.

I already have it.

Everything is left over here.

I had something in "Her Magesty's" request

and now I have to take something in "His Magesty's" request.

Khuki, now you are completely relieved.

Yes, he was troubling me so much.

At last the problem is gone.

Did he say anything at the time of his leaving?

Nothing much

but he was asking for Babai at that time.

All these are simply show off.

I don’t feel so Ma. Babai is very upset from the time he left.

He doesn’t even want to go the school now.

I am getting scared.

Don’t worry. It is normal for a little boy.

He will forget everything after few days.

Ma take another piece of fish.

No no, I cannot take anymore.

Your son in-law specially brought the fish from market for you.

Believe me I cannot take anymore.

Listen, exactly where did that old man go?

To Akhilesh uncle’s house in Barasat.

Baba’s old friend.

Who are there in their house?

In this big house only that old couple.

Oh!

And their all in all servant, Madan.

Their son went to abroad after marriage and never came back.

Oh! So our old man will be living happily there.

What happened! Today nobody is coming yet.

Since you’ve come here they became addicted to the music of your gramophone.

Specially Mr. Majumdar, he cannot sleep if he misses listening to the gramophone.

But this gramophone is the reason behind all your problems in life.

I don’t think about it anymore.

I only feel bad about my grandson.

Hmmm…

If my son brings him to me at least once in a month,

I would get some relief.

Even if your son permits, will your daughter in-law give permission?

There is Majumdar…come come. Why are you so late?

Let’s go in.

I got hurt at the time of getting into the car.

Be careful.

Very badly hurt!

Hold me… slowly slowly.

Why are you late?

It’s for Abhay only. He told me to take him with me.

I said ok, I will.

Then he kept me waiting for 15 to 20 minutes in the car.

He was nowhere around. I kept waiting for him.

What shall I do? I got late in order to serve my daughter in-law’s command.

Even your daughter in-law also! All the problems are regarding these daughter in-laws.

We have come.

Come. come...

What’s the matter? Why are you laughing so much?

Before anything you say, why are you so late?

Why am I late?

Yes...

Does Mrityunjoy ever get late? Never he does so.

I was waiting for long time at the Shibtala More.

Jibon told me that he would come at 6:30 sharp.

But alas!….7p.m.

You tell me, what shall I do?

I was about to leave, at that time my daughter in-law….

Oh! Stop stop.

Daughter in-law and daughter in-law... My ears are paining now hearing the same thing.

Brother you don’t have to live with your daughter in-law.

If you had to do so then only you would understand the problem.

Of course I am understanding every bit of it.i

Anyway let’s listen to the music now.

Yes yes…

Mr. Chandra can you kindly play the song which you played yesterday?

It was a very nice song.

Yes yes please play it.

Nice song play it.

When there was life in the life,

I used to put so much spices in the betel.

When there was life in the life, I used to put so much spices in the betel.

Now whenever I come close, you ask to move.

Here. Give him first.

Take this.

Ok. Now you go.

Ok now you can go.

Take the biscuits.

When there was beauty of body,

I used to go with make-up.

So many times I have seen this picture. Marvellous!

Uff! now which salesman came on this holiday?

Sumi please go and open the door.

Sumi please.

I cannot go.

Uttam Kumar is not running away…

I cannot go.

Then will I go?

Uff!

Go..

Ok I am going

Yes please. So many times watched movie. Go.

Nomoskar!

Nomoskar!

What’s the matter?

My name is C.R.Gomes.

Ok, but why have you come here?

I want to meet Mr. Chandan Mukherjee.

Ok but regarding what you want to meet him?

Actually I am a buyer and seller of antique items.

I buy and sell old, rare items.

I get to know that in your house there is a very old gramophone.

That’s right.

I’ve come to see that.

If I feel I can also buy it.

So, I want to meet Mr. Chandan Mukherjee regarding this matter.

Taking bettele with coloured lips

Ohh God! what a deep black....

Ohh God! what a deep black...

Ohh God! what a deep black....

Bahhh...

Very nice..

Mind-blowing!

Tell me something Mr. Chandra,

I listened to the gramophone several times before this,

but there is a difference between those gramaphones and this one

but this gramophone is exceptional.

Where did you get it from?

There’s a happy history behind this.

It’s age is around 80-85 years.

Before going to England, Mr. Martin,The director of The Martin Burn company,

gifted this to my father Late Chunnilal Mukherjee.

My father was the Head Clerk in that company.

Mr. Martin was very affectionate towards him.

In the year 1935, when Mr.Martin was getting his farewell

in the office he handed over this gramophone to my father as a memento.

What is memento?

See, what he is asking!

Memento is a gift of memory.

How long you will live you will memorize that.

I was about 6 or 7 years old at that time.

From then on I am attached to it.

I cannot think of myself without it.

Because of it I still exist.

The day I will loose it, I will loose my life too.

By hook or crook we have to get him back.

Not possible for me.

You mean you will leave the opportunity of getting this money.

Will you not think about the future of our son?

I cannot do it alone. Better you can go with me.

Yes I will.

We will convince him.

Tell me when we will go.

Tomorrow there is much work pressure in the office.

Will it be okay if we go day after tomorrow?

Is it confirm?

What about Babai’s school?

Nothing will happen if he gets absent for one day.

Oh!

Is it confirm day after tomorrow?

Yes..

Dadai it is such a big house! Big windows! Big doors!

Zamindar House are usually be like this.

Dadai I don’t want to sit here.

I want to see the whole house.

Yes. Madan uncle will show you. Here is Madan uncle.

Dadababu’…’Boudimoni’ please have this. Ma has sent this for you.

Dadai please tell him…

Oh yes, madan you please show him the entire house.

His mind is getting restless to see this house.

Ok. Let’s go. I will show you something very interesting.

Madam and Sir are coming soon.

It’s ok.

You please take the food.

What happen? Let’s go now.

Sure. lets go...

Now tell me the real purpose of coming here.

Baba we want you back in our house.

Yes baba. We have understood our mistake.

Please forgive us and get back.

That is not possible anymore Bouma.

Why not possible Baba?

Have we done such mistake that you cannot forgive us?

It is not about forgiving you.

Moreover what have you done that you’re begging forgiveness.

I don’t want to stay there anymore. I am fine here.

Please give it a second thought Baba. Please get back with us.

There is nothing to think about it again Khoka.

I cannot stay there anymore.

You stay there happily.

Just take care of that little boy.

Moreover so many problems arise due to the old persons in the family.

Make him understand. Say something.

Baba please think about it once more. Get back with us.

Baba I know you are angry with me.

I beg of you Baba.

Get up Bouma. You don’t need to do all these.

I am not angry with anyone. Why should I get angry?

I don’t want to stay in that house anymore.

I am fine over here. Moreover

Again there will be problem regarding the gramophone.

For that the studies of that little boy will be hampered. I don’t want that.

You live there happily.

I am fine here. That is alright.

Baba you really won’t be back?

No.

My mind does not want to get back.

I am absolutely fine here.

I am not homeless after all.

Where did they go?

Here is Madan.

Dadai .....

Come come.

The house is very beautiful.

Ok ok. Do you like this house?

Your grandson is very active.

Since then he is just running here and there.

Yes your grandson is very active but intelligent too.

I am telling you Bouma your son has a very bright future.

Khoka don’t get late.

otherwise Dadubhai’s studies will be hampered.

It’s ok. You dn’t need to touch the feet. It’s ok.

You should go now.

Don’t get late anymore. It’s a long way.

Come.

Go Dadubhai, go.

Bye.

Goodbye Dadai

Goodbye!

Bye baba.

Yes bye.

You keep coming in between. He will feel good.

Aunty please make baba understand.

I have tried in whatever way I could.

But I think if you will make him understand, he will be convinced.

Ok Bouma, now you go,

We will talk to him later.

Actually there is a soft anger in his mind.

When that will be diminished, everything will be alright.

Uncle you too please try to make him understand.

Actually he is very close to you.

You don’t need to worry.

I will surely talk to him.

Ok then.

Bye now.

Bye.

Bye.

Come.

Let’s go.

Let’s go.

Are you taking a nap Chandra?

Not really.

Are you remembering them? Very natural!

Come outside, we need to talk to you.

Please come...

Come, come sit.

sit.

Tell me what’s the matter.

Don’t mind please.

No I won’t mind.

We think you could go back to your family.

Are you having any problem with me?

What are you saying?

How can you say so?

Do you think this is why we are saying so!

We are saying so, only because you are lucky enough.

that your son and daughter in-law want you back.

Look at us, we cannot even think of that.

It’s been 5 long years. Our son and daughter in-law

never wanted to know if we are alive or dead.

It is definitely painful

but don’t think that

only because I will be with my son and daughter in-law, I will live in peace.

It never happened, so I came here.

I understand.

Actually before leaving, Sumitra asked me several times

to convince you. That is why I am saying so.

Anyway it is necessary to inform you so we are telling you.

Do whatever you like or your mind wants to do.

I am going to arrange the meal. Don’t get late. Come soon.

I hope your situation does not go like us.

Chandan was saying so many times to talk to you.

My son, may have think about me.

May be there is a bit of honesty in it.

But if you talk about Bouma, she was pretending.

Pretending! What are you saying?

I am right. The movement of their eyes couldn’t escape my vision.

Bouma definitely came here with some purpose.

Let few days pass on, then it will be cleared.

what the real purpose is.

Let’s go now. Madam must be waiting for us.

Come.

What’s the matter. It’s 12:30 a.m. and you are still awake.

Lots of money is slipping out of our hand and you want me to sleep?

What to do? We have tried a lot.

But we just cannot sit like this.

We have to do something.

Listen, I have a plan.

Anyway we have to get him back in this house.

Once he is not convinced does not mean he will never be.

What is the way out?

There is a way.

One thing is clear to me that your father has a weakness about you and Babai.

So make Babai an excuse.

What do you mean?

I mean when you talk to your father place Babai infront of him.

Tell him Babai is not having food, not sleeping, not going to school.

Day by day he is getting sick.

Trust me if you will say so he will be convinced.

What are you saying Sumi?

Shall I have to tell all these about babai?

If necessary then you have to do this. Go tomorrow.

I cannot take so frequent leaves from the office.

I don’t know, you have to get him back by Saturday.

Mr. Gomes will come on Sunday. Hope you remember that.

Ok, let’s see.

No ifs and buts, You have to do it by tomorrow.

Dadababu please come inside.

Yes.

Come Dadababu, come.

What happened?

Yes...

Kakababu… Dadababu has come.

Oh yes.

Dadababu you sit I am going to inform sir.

Have you just come?

Yes.

What’s the matter?

Your grandson

is very upset since you left the house.

He does not want to go to school. Not studying as well.

Not even having food properly.

Please listen to me. Get back home.

Can’t you take care of the boy?

We have tried a lot

but nothing is working.

If this situation continues, he will fall sick.

What are you doing then?

What happened?

Why you father and son are sitting like this?

What’s the matter?

Chandan is saying that my grandson is falling sick. Such a problem it is.

Of course.

But you have to find a solution. Only you can solve it.

I am also saying that.

The boy will fall sick if this situation continues.

Please don’t be so persistent anymore. Your grandson is your life.

How many times you talked about the little boy.

Forget everything and go back to him.

It will be good for him too.

So nothing to worry now. Back to the pavilion.

But after taking him back

do take good care of him.

Yes...

When parents get old they expect these from their children.

Take care of him. Right?

Don’t worry uncle.

Alright then. So, today only take your father back with you.

I cannot go.

Why so?

I cannot go today.

If I go back today then the friends who come in the evening will feel bad.

Before I go back, I should meet them once.

I think you are right.

If they cannot listen to your gramophone anymore

they will……

anyway that is not so important.

So should I come tomorrow morning?

No

you don’t need to take leave from the office.

Come on Saturday at 10:30 am

Come on Saturday at 10:30 am

Yes.

So come on that day.

Alright then, come on Saturday as your father wish.

Now come with me, let give this good news to your aunty.

Yes, of course.

So Saturday, right?

Hmmm.

Ok, bye.

Hmmm.

Listen, tomorrow is Saturday.

Baba is getting back.

We have to take full advantage of this chance.

Sumi keep quite now ...

He will get up.

He is sleeping. He cannot listen to anything.

You call Mr. Gomes and ask him to come on Sunday sharp at 4 p.m.

That time Baba usually goes out for a walk.

That time we will show him the gramophone.

Ok but I am getting very scared Sumi,

if something wrong happen.

if something wrong happen.

Don’t get scared.

We have to sell the gramophone.

Ma, will you sell Dadai’s gramophone?

When did I say so?

Just now.

No, I didn’t say that.

You have heard something wrong in sleep.

I was saying that your Dadai’s gramophon became so old,

why are you silent? Tell him…

I am asking your father to buy a new gramophone.

Really?

Yes. Of course.

Within 2-3 days we will get that.

Now sleep. It’s too late.

I won’t sing moo moo anymore.

I won’t sing moo moo anymore.

If I would be big goat I would sing a gazal loudly

If I would be big goat I would sing a gazal loudly

When will they come? Has Gomes come?

Yes. He is in the car.

I don’t understand what is happening.

What’s the time?

It’s 5 o’clock.

Baba will leave now.

Once he gets out, you call Gomes inside.

That I will do but what about Babai?

What happened Dadai? Why did you stop the music?

I will go to the park now.

Then I will also go with you.

Have you asked your mother?

No.

Without asking her you cannot go with me.

Rather I cannot take you.

OK you get ready... I am going to tell her.

OK.

Crazy boy!

Send Babai to the park along with Baba.

Ma today I will go to the park with Dadai.

Since long I have not been there to play.

Yes. That’s fine. You go

but don’t be naughty else I will never let you go.

Ma, please give me my new bat and ball.

There it is.

Come.

Oh God!

Dadubhai....

Yes Dadai coming.....

Lets go.

Baba please take care of him.

Actually he is too naughty.

Don’t worry Bouma. It’s a familiar place.

Moreover we will be back by the evening.

Let’s go.

What happened?

Babai and Baba have left for the park. Now you call Gomes.

Ok.

Let’s go inside.

Nomoskar.

Nomoste.

Come in. There is the gramophone.

It seems alright. Is the sound ok?

Yes. Baba listen to it everyday.

You can check it.

No, it’s ok. I have seen it.

Now let’s talk about the final settlement.

Yes tell me.

Next Sunday we will finalize everything

and I have already told you about the price of it.

See Mr. Gomes, I have enquired in the market.

At present the actual value of this gramophone is 7 lakh rupees.

What are saying Mr. Mukherjee?

Nobody will give you the price that I have offered you.

The market value of this gramophone is 7 lakhs rupees

and you are offering only 5 lakhs....

it is not possible.

Make it 5 and a half lakhs. Not more than that.

Ok then, considering both of our sides,

make it 5 and a half lakhs.

5 and a half? No Mr. Gomes.... it should be minimum 6 lakhs rupees.

Ok, done.

So, next Sunday I will pay you the whole amount in cash

and take the gramophone.

Alright.

Nomoskar.

The old says everything is good.

The new says remove everything.

The old keeps everything intact.

The old keeps everything intact.

The new says adieu.

Life is not stagnant,

Baba you are sleeping at this time…

this time you usually listen to music. What happened? Feeling sick?

Not like that. Actually I am little upset.

Upset? Why so?

I am missing Akhilesh and Abha.

I wish to meet them once.

Fine. You can go on coming Sunday.

I will ask your son to arrange a car for you.

Take Babai along with you.

He’ll have a change and you’ll feel good too.

You also say to go?

Yes of course.

Babai and you go on Sunday in the morning and be back by the evening.

Then you make a call to them.

We will have our lunch over there.

Ok. Don’t worry about that. I will call them.

Will you have tea now?

Will you make tea now?

Giving you.

Bouma has changed a lot. Unbelievable!

Babai have you finished your homework?

Yes.

Ok then, so now you go to Dadai’s room to listen to music.

So shall I go now?

Yes go.

What happen? Suddenly you send him to listen to music?

There’s some reason behind this. I need to talk to you. Sit now.

Now say.

We have to sell the gramophone by Sunday.

That’s ok but what about Babai?

I have had a talk with Baba.

You book a private car for Babai and Baba to go to Barasat.

Will Baba go?

Yes, I have talked to him. He agreed to go.

But……

No ifs and buts please.

You get fresh now. I am getting tea for you.

Disgusting.

Dadai I don’t like to stay here.

I want to go to Madan uncle to feed the pigeon.

No problem. You go. Madan is downstairs.

So, shall I go now?

Yes go.

Is everything alright there at your place now?

Everything is fine now.

Good.

Hope there is no problem with Bouma anymore.

No problem was raised. Bouma has changed a lot.

Now she takes care of me a lot.

She does not even create any problem with the gramophone.

That is such a good news.

You were so persistent not to go back.

If you wouldn’t have gone there, how could you get back your family?

May be you are right.

May be I was wrong.

You both saved me from making that mistake.

Now let’s see if by God’s grace I can spare the rest of my life peacefully.

Sometimes my mind asks me whether Almighty is thinking otherwise.

I cannot answer that. Let’s see.

The old says everything is good.

The new says remove everything.

Give your signature here.

One more please.

The old says everything is good.

The new says remove everything.

The old keeps everything intact.

The old keeps everything intact.

The new says adieu.

Ok then.

Thank you.

Ok, so can I take that now?

Yes sure.

Bring the gramaphone.

Be careful.

Ok then, bye.

Bye.

come with me.

You’ve the money Sumi. But what will happen when Baba will be back.

Don’t worry.

I will handle him.

But I am getting very scared Shumi.

I cannot guess how will he react if he can't see the gramaphone.

Can you please keep quite? Stop worrying that much.

Nothing will happen? I am telling you, I will handle it.

Ufff…I am feeling suffocated. I am going out. You close the door.

See…

Ok fine, you keep it.

Life is not all about good things.

Bad things will follow as well.

Life is not all about good things.

Bad things will follow as well.

The calculation of life is never solved.

Only the colour of life is going to change.

Baba….

Go and give this tea to Dadai.

Take it.

Dadai…..Dadai…..

What did Baba say after coming back?

Baba got very excited

as he couldn’t find the gramophone. He was in serch of it.

Don’t worry now he has calm down.

I didn't get any sound for a long time.

I think he has managed himself.

What happen? Didn’t you give the tea to Dadai?

Dadai is not opening the door.

So many times I knocked it.

Dadai…

Nobody will stay.

Nobody can stay.

This world is just a picture….

imagination of the great poet.

Nobody stays.

Nobody will stay.

Nobody can stay.

The mistake, your father-in-law and I made was actually a big sin

May be to the society we are not guilty because

the doctor said that Baba died of a massive heart attack.

But I know that day I committed a big sin

and still now I am making atonement for that sin.

That is why I am telling you not to do the same mistake like us.

We made that mistake because of our greed

and you are doing so because of your hobby, your fascination.

Now you tell me

what should I do now ?

Whatever you ask me to do I will accept that.

Life is not stagnant, it’s moving like the ebb and flow of a river.
