aunt must have got angry. she didn't get angry. she was enraged. she told me if i didn'tbuy diamond earrings for her.. ..she will sit on mewith her 105 kilo body. oh, my god. you are surprised but i panicked. tell me, have you everstood on a weighing machine.. ..at a station? yes.

what comes out if youput a two rupee coin in it? a ticket. when your aunt getson it no ticket comes out. a voice says, 3-4 peoplemust not step on it at a time. i told her, fatso, reduce your weight. people call you fatso andthey call me the husband of a fatso. she went to a doctor. the doctor said,naina you have only one option. do horse riding ifyou want to reduce weight.

she rented a horse anddid horse riding for a month. did her weight reduce? of course it reduced. of the horse. this fatso,she says that she will sit on me. what will happen tome if she really sits? what will happen? when i go out next day,the people of the society will say.. ..look, the ironedbhadrakant is going.

i will buy, but of americandiamond from bhuleshwar. when the wife asksfor real diamond earrings.. ..give her those madefrom american diamonds. and if she demands thosemade from american diamonds.. ..then only give herthose made of real diamonds. all the men in the world willlive happily if they understand this. bhadrakant, those men whoseek happiness in diamond earrings.. ..they only become unhappy. son, if we keep ourmind as clear as diamond..

..happiness will comeknocking on your door. looks like she has attendedmurai bapu's speech. that reminds me.i met subodhbhai sukhadia from parla. but hadn't he settled down in america? yes, but currently he is here. he told me, bhadrakantbhai,we have lived in america.. ..for so many years butwe still remember the taste.. ..of kunjbala's cooking. really? - yes.

he told me that he was goingto stay here for two months.. ..ask kunjbala to send tiffinjust like she used to do earlier. sure, i will send it. no problem. there is no need for that. uncle, refuse it. but son, they have come from america. so what? when i used to run a tiffin service.. ..they always usedto order tiffin from me.

your father died whenyou were just one year old. my in-laws had abandoned me. my siblings supportedme but they themselves.. ..were facing financial crunch. it was hard for meto make two ends meet. in those days subodhbhaihad helped me quite often. he bought and gavethis sewing machine to me. i used to supplytiffin during the day.. ..and used to do sewingin the night and yet many times ..

..i couldn't have enoughmoney for your fees. then subodhbhai used to loan me money. how can i refuse him? i am not asking you to refuse him. invite him home and feed himto your satisfaction but not tiffin. mother, you have done enough. for many years you haverun pratik tiffin service. you have burned yourhands to make me independent. you have spoiled your eyesworking on this sewing machine..

..and made me fit to face the world. it is now my turn togive you time to relax. to toil for your happiness. god has put you throughmany tests and you passed in them. you have successfully passed them. now i will give the tests. mother, you have fulfilled my dreams. now it is my turnto fulfil your dreams. enough, son. are you goingto make me cry in the morning?

right. uncle, what happened? i felt as if i was watchingan episode of balaji's serial. bhadrakant. heroes say similarthings to their mothers. yes, but the heroes also turntheir mothers into mothers-in-law. tell him. mother, you have started again. but son, you have grown up now.

old enough to marry. just now you saidthat i should relax now.. ..but i can relax onlywhen there is a daughter-in-law. stupid, you won't get to relaxwhen there is a daughter-in-law. then you will lose your freedom. what are you saying, uncle? what? the moment a womanbecome a mother-in-law.. ..her life changes.

bhadrakant, we should knowhow to change the situation. just wait and see. he is my one and only son. i will be happy if he is happy. i will treat mydaughter-in-law like a queen. yes, and she will turnyou into a maidservant. she will make you mop the floors. uncle, that won't happen.. ..because i havechosen a suitable girl.

you have? i will. i will choose onewho would understand me and mother.. ..and who would look after this house. i will look for someone like that. you will look for orhave you already found one? uncle, what are you saying? wouldn't i tell youif that was the case? - yes. would i hide it from you? - no. i am getting late for office.

yes, go, go. but i am going to find the reason.. ..for your returningearly from office, okay? bhadrakant. - yes? i have sent proposals to 2-3 families. i like bhavnaben'sdaughter bharti very much. what? bharti? she is very fat. she is not fat, she is healthy.

healthy? - yes,it means from a well-to-do family. as you wish. yes, as you wish. a boy behaves like lordram as long as he is a bachelor. he turns into ravanwhen he gets married. why stop it? son, here are your handkerchief,wallet and wristwatch. and son, i have made yourfavourite ladies' finger curry. eat properly. - okay.

bye, uncle. - bye. wait. look, don't hang outfrom the train door. - okay. and if the bus iscrowded then let it go. take the next bus. - okay. what now? - nothing. bye. why are you running? why are you going from that side?

i am getting late for officeso i am taking the short cut. okay, okay, watch out for the soap. take care and callme up on reaching there. hey! what is this, bhadrakant?i got scared. i too got scared. may i ask something? is my nephew goingto office or school? the boy has grown up now.

no matter how big the children grow.. ..they would still besmall children for the mother. look, the children forgetone thing as they grow up. that mother too has grownold by that many years. so the differencebetween age and nature.. ..also grows up alongwith the children. who will explain this thingto the current generation children? the daughters-in-law. they will immediately explainthat you are no longer a small boy.

you have grown so big. come out of mother's lap,you mama's boy. and immediately themother would explain. i changed nappies whenyou were a baby. - yes. i have brought you up. - right. your mind changed whenshe entered your life.. ..you wife-crazy boy? the poor boy facesin a dilemma due to this. he is beaten both ways.

he is torn between the two. you don't have controlover your tongue. i will treat my daughter-in-lawso nicely that people will wonder.. ..whether they are mother-in-lawand daughter-in-law.. ..or mother and daughter. excuse me! may i come in? after entering you areasking whether you can come in. sales girls are notallowed in our house. - no? we won't buy anything from you.

don't take out packetsof washing powder. in our house my sisterhas been washing clothes.. ..with nirma barsoap since many years.. ..and she also washesher hair with it. - what? because her hairis infested with lice. she has got a little dandruff also. sister, we have to saythat or else she will sell us.. ..useless item and leave. look.. - are you goingto take out a soda maker machine?

no one in our housedrinks cold drinks. we suffer from cold. we drink water onlyfrom 'gola' (earthen pot). 'gola'? i will have to explain 'gola' to her. 'gola' doesn't mean thosethat are sold on the juhu beach.. ..which are made like thisand we suck on it like this.. ..which drip with juicesand stain our clothes. so?

gujrati people callthe earthen pot as 'gola'. listen to me..- sister, please spare us. we are middle class people. if we don't buy anythingfrom you we will make you unhappy. it will bring us bad luck. so please leave. bye in gujarati,good-bye in christian. just a minute, i am not a sales girl. i have come here to meet pratik.

to meet pratik? she has come to meet pratik. thank god, she left. i am here. she is back. since past 20 minutes iwas standing at the street corner. i thought the pratikwill come to the bus stop.. ..to catch bus number 222. sister, she knows everythingabout which number bus..

..nephew catchesand from where and when. we will have to find out. now she will teachyou a lesson. - what? keep quiet. look, he left by the backdoor because he was getting late. but what do you want with him? i have an urgent work. pratik is not pickingup the phone also. a person cannot even raisehis hand in the crowded train..

..so how will he pick up the phone? is this how you should talk? where have you come from? - home. i am asking where your house is. i don't have a home. oh, so do you live on the streets? no, no, i live with my uncle. uncle...when did shecome to live at my house? bhadrakant,won't she too have an uncle?

oh, yes. look, pratik is not at home right now. he will return in theevening so come in the evening. that is not possible. i cannot even return home. if i go to office, even there, uncle.. what do i do? just a minute. sit. what is the matter?you seem to be confused.

can i be of any help? you only can help me. please help me. tell me clearly what you want to say. and him? yes, he is bhadrakant.he is my brother. we have no secrets from him. and there are no secretsbetween my son and me. that is your misconception.

pratik has kept asecret from you. - what? his love affair. he has kept a girl secret from you. what? so you and pratik.. yes, both must be having an affair. "where are you going afterluring me with your glances?" speak! she is mimicking me! - no. think of my age.

"why fear when you have loved?" what is she singing?- would i sing such songs? "i have loved not committedtheft." - oh, this is my ringtone! pratik! hey! - what?

pratik has already taken a decision. absolutely right. did you feel any shame? you have deceived themother who gave birth to you? uncle, don't instigate. mother, i was goingto tell you. - when? at the right timeand in a relaxed way. yes, but she came here and shocked us. i wouldn't have done this,but mother, a situation was created..

hey, i am not yourmother-in-law as yet. sorry. - and you! didn't you feel ashamedthat you kept it a secret from me? from me? did i bring you up to see this day? did she run a tiffinservice to see this day? to see this day? to see this day? sister, for which day? may i speak?

in future when youare no longer alive.. ..she will rule overthe house and her husband. pardon me, uncle. if i was greedy for luxurious life.. ..i would have seduceda millionaire's son. i wouldn't have chosen a simple boy.. ..who grew up in poverty. hey, she is answering back. no, uncle, i am telling the truth.

and, mother.. - what? pratik's mother. - yes. i cannot lie or keepsecrets the way pratik can. i am sorry, mother. look, mother,till date have i done anything.. ..which would hurt you? no. you have been a witness toeach and every decision in my life. even now you will be.

mother, varsha and i love each other.. ..but we won't do anythingwithout your consent. and i don't want totake away your son from you. i too want to share theunlimited love you shower on him. i gave him my consentonly after hearing all about.. ..your becoming a widowto your bringing up pratik. when the mother is like this,there can be no fault in the son. i have seen his honestyand given my consent. enough. don't talk too sweet words.

you have passed in my test. sister, why are you doing this? you are very lucky. very few mothers-in-lawcan find a daughter-in-law.. ..who has studied in gujarati medium. bhadrakant, i don't wantto open a gujarati medium school. after marriage she is goingto live in my house and not in yours. may i talk in detail? mother, does it mean you agree?

that will depend onthe answers to my questions. what does it mean? that means teacher kunjbalachoksi will take your oral exam. sit. - okay. question one. what is your name? - varsha. will you let her speak? she didn't speak so isaid that her name is varsha. varsha, you amaze me.you are not speaking.

since past half houryou have been here. i know that you are nervousbut you should have told them.. ..that your name is varsha. mother should know itand uncle should know it. everybody should nowthat your name is varsha. you should have told them. varsha, speak. at least say something. she will speak if you keep quiet. her name is varsha.

my name is varsha. varsha said that she name is varsha. don't you have a full name? i have. varsha darshan jadhav. jadhav! listen, sir, jadhav. is she a maharashtrian? despite being a maharashtrian.. ..you have studied in gujarati medium?

pratik, a maharashtriangirl in a gujarati family? my father is a maharashtrianbut my mother is a gujarati. oh, she is half-gujarati. mother is like chalkand father is like cheese. i have been broughtup in gujarati tradition. okay, but those things,mutton and fish.. no, no, i don't eateven egg-based cake. poor girl eats eggless. how much have you studied?

b. com. - ssc. which one? b. com or ssc? i mean i studied tillb.com and she till ssc. you studied tillb.com and she till ssc? what happened to you? it is like you and brother-in-law. a difference of 5 classes. how much brother-in-law had studied? he was 9th class pass.

and you? hardly 4th class. next question. you had said thatyou live with your uncle. so where are your parents? my mother died wheni was 7 years old. and father? he is there. has he remarried? - yes.

a year after my mother's death.. ..father broke off relations with us. he left me at my uncle's place. my uncle took up my responsibility. in public i was like his daughter.. ..and in the housei was a maidservant. my uncle wants to marry meoff to the mad son of a builder.. ..so that he can acquirea 3-bedroom flat. he brought me up for 16 years..

..and now he wants torecover it with interest.. ..by marrying me off witha mad boy and that too this evening. i had no other optionbut to come here. all the doors had closed. if there is anybody ican call my own in this world.. ..it is pratik andthat is why i came here. i didn't want to createmisunderstanding.. ..between you and pratik. look. look,i don't want to pressurise you.

whatever decision youtake after hearing everything.. ..will be acceptable to me. mother! mother! please, pratik.we shouldn't force her. uncle, why did mother go inside? we will find out when she comes out. i suggest, before she comesout take this girl and go out.. ..and return after puttingher aboard bus number 222. uncle, i am leaving.

"peacock, you have golden beak." "peacock, you have silver wings." "the peacock pickspearls with golden beak." "peacock, go to the east." "peacock, go to the west." "on your way back goto our relatives' place." hello. hello! hello, uncle natu,i am bhardakant speaking. bhadrakant, not chandrakant.

from malad.. are you wearing the machine? the hearing aid? has it become loose? your ears must have grown big. press it with your finger. can you hear now? yes, bhadrakant from malad. yes, yes, we got my nephew married.

the wedding tookplace without a hitch. i advised him against it. nephew, don't get married. don't get married. not, death. marriage. marriage. but he didn't listen to me. he did get married. i had explained to him. nephew, marriage isa scheme devised by god.

a scheme to atone for thesins committed as a bachelor. mighty people succumbto this scheme. succumb, not disease. he will irritate me. and he asks me this. uncle, you are askingme not to marry.. ..but our ancestors havesaid that those who smile.. ..settle down in life. i said you are right, nephew.

those who smile settle down in life. but how many smiledafter settling down in life? no, uncle natu, no. the wedding was conductedin a very simple ceremony.. ..so we could not invite you. forgive us,but we still accept cash gifts. you can send it by...hello. hello! hello! everybody cuts off thephone when money is mentioned.

your tea is unique, sister. god knows when naina willlearn to make this kind of tea. she makes the tea herself,tastes it herself and throws it away. sister, what happened? looks like you are not in a good mood. why? what is this? there is not cloth andyou are running the machine. sister, shall i tell you something?

if you didn't like varsha.. ..you shouldn't havegot her married to pratik. who told you i didn't like varsha? you don't like varsha thatis why you are creating trouble. before marriage whenyou had gone shopping.. ..the poor girl had liked a red sari.. ..but you insisted thatshe should buy the green one.. why? because pratik likesgreen colour very much. of course he likes it.

that is why the househas been painted green. that is understandable. the poor girl had just enteredthe house after marriage.. ..when you started off. it is the tradition in our family. the new bride has to makea sweet dish with her own hands. it is the tradition. yes, so the poor girlwent to the kitchen. she prepared the sweetdish as best as she could.

still you criticised. it is stuck at the bottom. the clarified butterisn't coming on top. you found fault with the sweet dish. it was not made properly. but pratik liked it. he likes sweet dish made by me only. but that day pratik likedthe sweet dish made by her. pratik praised herand you didn't like it..

..and you took out youranger on the new daughter-in-law. accept the fact that varshahas entered this house.. ..as the daughter-in-lawto share your love towards pratik. stop insisting on handing himthe wallet, money and handkerchief. if you give somespace to the children.. ..the new daughter-in-lawwill give you respect. how will they respect me? you see, after marriage theyhave gone to live in a hotel.. ..for three days in mumbai itself.

i have seen this first time. is their marriage any different? i too had got married. i had come here after marriage. in this house. here only i had startedmy married life. we hadn't gone to a hotel. this is the problem withall the mothers-in-law in the world. why shouldn't my daughter-in-lawdo what i had done?

why should my daughter-in-lawenjoy what i couldn't enjoy? stop it, bhadiya. it is not a question of enjoyment. but wouldn't it be uselessexpenditure if they stay in a hotel? mother, there was no expense. oh, you are back?- yes. bless you. hello. our office staff had giftedus a three day package..

..so there was no expenditure. you should have told me earlier. i will bring water for you. mother, i will bring water. no, dear, from tomorrow onwardsyou will be doing everything. well, nephew,which hotel you were staying at? hotel park inn. three star hotel. three star? varsha, is there a suitablejob vacancy for me in your office?

why, uncle? i have never stayed at a three star. bless you,and may you soon have many children. first have one child, andthen it won't take long to have many. what are you teaching my children? alphabet. - dear, take this. pratik, take this. what happened? - nothing. dear, don't feel offendedby what i said about money.

we have lived thriftily toreach a position of comfortable life.. ..so i have the habitof counting expenses. but i wonder wouldn'tit have been better.. ..if your office staff hadgiven us cash instead of such gift? she wants to say thatthere were no room charges.. ,,but you must havespent money on food. uncle, we didn't spend on that also. was that also partof the hotel package? no, no, it was notincluded in the package.

so you didn't eat for three days? no, no, uncle, we did eat.why are you saying this? we had dinner before leavingon the evening of reception. from next day onwardsmother used to come.. ..with breakfast for pratik. to the hotel? yes. she used to come inthe morning with tea and breakfast. then she used to bringlunch in the afternoon. then she used to bringdinner in the night.

uncle, masala tea andsnacks in the morning.. ..at the three star hotel. in the afternoon full lunchand at night bread, vegetable curry.. ..and rice-lentil dish and curry. it is worth enjoying,isn't it, pratik? uncle, i am telling you honestly. mother takes very goodcare of pratik, right? daughter-in-law, did you taunt me? no, mother,i explained the fact to myself..

..that you have the priorityright on pratik and after that i have. isn't it my responsibilityto see that i don't infringe.. ..on that right even unintentionally? follow it since you have said it. i have made sweet dish. freshen up and i willtemper the lentil dish. then all of us will eat. you tell her. you tell her, i won't speak.- you tell her.

i won't, you tell her. just a minute. tell me what happened? did you have lunch outside? they had lunch outside. pratik. no, mother,it so happened that we spotted.. ..a fast food stallon our way back. - yes. so varsha felt like eating it. what? - i felt like it.

both of us felt like it. you wasted my food. i didn't sleep the whole afternoon. my hands are aching due to work. both are telling me lies. since 8 days.. stop grumbling. your food won't go waste. pack the food and give it to me.

so naina won't have to cook. yes, i will pack thefood but not for you. to take along tomorrowmorning for the journey. yes, tomorrow morning youare going on honeymoon, right? where are you going? khajuraho. - khajuraho? what was the need togo so far to buy dates? if you had asked me i wouldhave bought it from the market. bhadiya, don't you want to go home?

and we will stayat jayeshbhai's house.. ..so there won't be hotel expenses. then one day all of us,i mean i, your aunt and varsha.. ..will go to meena bazar. we conducted the marriage in a hurry.. ..so i couldn't giftany jewellery to varsha. dear, there the makingcharges are cheaper.. ..so we can buy a coupleof grams of gold extra. bhardrakant, what is it called?

i will get it back. go and get it or elseshe will make curd from it. we are already facinga situation here. uncle, should i go alone on honeymoon? how can i refuse motherand how can i take her along.. ..on my honeymoon? nephew, don't feel bad,but your honeymoon is spoiled. what is my fault? - marriage. you greatest faultis that you got married.

as long as a boy is bachelor,he is called a suitable boy. when he marries,he is called a husband. and when he becomes a husband,his life is over. that's right. marriage means tug of war. from one end the mother pulls.. ..and from the otherend the wife pulls. if you take mother's sideyou will be called mama's boy.. ..and if you take wife'sside you will be called wife-crazy.

but i haven't taken anybody's side. they won't let youtake anybody's side. both will decide exactlywhose side you have taken. do you know what a husband is? - what? a husband is a ping pong ball. the mother-in-lawand daughter-in-law.. ..keep swinging the racketsopposite each other.. ..and the poor mangets hit from both sides. do you know what amarried man is? - what?

a married man is likea puffed grain of rice. only after marriage you canfind out whether he will have.. ..a happy life or an unhappy life. do you know what marriage is?- what? marriage is like a ferris wheel,a merry-go-round. a merry-go-round whichkeeps going round and round. it keeps turning tillthe man gets exhausted. "my merry-go-round keeps turning." "it makes screeching noises."

"give cash today and borrow tomorrow."- i am getting late for office. i have taken my purse,handkerchief and wristwatch.. ..so don't fight overwho will hand it to me. i must hurry.i am getting late for office. 'what happened?' my shirt button is missing. the other shirts are not ironed. someone come out and stitch the button. give it to me.

this morning my shirtbutton was missing. i had just asked to stitch the button. but.. - you got into trouble? do you know why i wear on loin cloth? once a button of my pants was missing. you are lucky that you could comeout of the house in an undershirt.. ..but i? since that time i decided thati will wear only long loin cloth. what happened?

what happened, have you gone crazy? uncle, i too have decided. - what? will you wear a long loin cloth? not a long loin cloth. from now on i will wearshirts with press button only. nephew was elated becausehe found solution to one problem. but he doesn't know thatthis is only the beginning. this is just the start of love,why do you cry? just wait and watch what happens next.

"till date no one has suffered.." "..who worships god." "those who are devotedto lord krishna." "so say the vedas." oh, you have returned? why did you stop? sing on. "the lord saved prahlad.." "..and slayed hirnyakashyap." look, son, today is your birthday.

you have been robbing us ourfew moments of love and togetherness.. ..but i have never objected. i know. i know that ican't cook as well as you can. still i wanted to hearpraises from my husband.. ..even if my cooking was bad. but you have been robbingme of those few words of love.. ..still i never objected. ever since...ever sincei came here after marriage.. ..you have interfered inour private moments and have tried..

..to relive the unfulfilleddesires in your married life. enough. enough, varsha. you are crossing your limits now. if i have made a mistakeby telling my son.. ..that i am goingto become a grandmother.. ..let us decide thematter once and for all. i don't want to relive...idon't want to relive.. ..the unfulfilled desires inmy married life in your married life. i don't want to look for it.

let it be decided. you go your own wayand i will go my own way. hello, pratik, come backright now from wherever you are. no. no, either i won't livein this house or your wife won't. i will give it to her. yes, pratik, come home immediately. no. no, i won't tolerateher interference in everything. no, pratik,there is no use of explaining to her. okay. take his.

..and still you started to fight. you have a problem with everything. what problem do i have? the same one which every woman has. it takes 20 years for awoman to bring up her dear son.. ..and another woman comesand fools him in just 20 minutes.. ..and marries him. no mother-in-law inthis world can tolerate it. try to understand.

sister, condolence meetingon pratik's death was also held today. you haven't saida word since four days. you haven't uttered even a word. sister, accept thefact that nephew has died. pratik is no longer between us. sister, speak and weepand unburden your heart. say something. say something at least. bhadrakant, how will she speak? he was the one andonly son of kunjbala.

she spent her whole life as a widow.. ..and now there is a youngwidow of her son in the house. these days the youngstersare in great hurry to get married. they don't ask their parentsand don't match horoscopes also. and who suffers? the parents. kunjabala, why didn't youthink before marrying off your son? she has claimed your son's life. what did you say? why would she claim my son's life?

my son was her husband. i am at the end of mylife but she was to spend.. ..her whole life with pratik. and she is carrying s child. my son pratik's child. when a woman is pregnanthow can she wish.. ..that another mother'sson should die? if a son dies at young agepeople blame the daughter-in-law.. ..but if the young daughter-in-lawdies nobody blames the son.

life and death arein the hands of god. what is varsha's fault? come on, everybody leave. get up. leave. go. look, kunjbala..- i will cut off your tongue.. ..if you criticize varsha. leave. come on. leave. let us go. come on. i don't want your fakesympathy or condolences.

leave. go away. no, no, bhadrakant. tell all the relatives notto come to express condolences. if anybody criticises varshai will break their faces. stop it, sister, stop it. i have been through this, bhadiya. i have been through all this. i don't want anybodyto abuse this girl. what was wrong in what they said?

wasn't i the causeof your son's death? what difference wouldit have made whether the news.. ..of my pregnancywas given by you or me? neither you nor iwould have got enraged. it is my fault. you lost your son because of my fault. it was neither your fault nor mine. the time was not favourable. now we have to see that ourrelations don't get soured by it.

look, pratik was alreadyborn when i became a widow. your child is still in your womb. you can get the childaborted if you wish. sister, what are you saying? i now, bhadrakant. i know very well how difficultit is to bring up a child.. ..in the absence of the father. it is difficult topass each and every moment. i don't want to force suchdifficult moments on this girl.

but what if i want togive birth to this child? that decision too will be yours only. and if you want to entrustto me the child after it is born.. ..and if you want to start anew life you are free to do that also. when you were widowedpratik was only one year old. why didn't you entrusthim to someone else's care.. ..and got married again? answer me. answer me,mother, why didn't you marry again..

..taking along pratik also? please answer me! if my becoming a widow is arepeat of the history of this house.. ..then the history ofthis house will be repeated.. ..by bringing up my childjust like pratik was brought up. i will bring up my child. look, varsha..- uncle, your sister is very smart. she is very smart. she wants to havethe cake and eat it also.

mother, till date i haven'tcome across another woman.. ..as cunning as you. when i give my child toher she will not remain lonely.. ..and when i get marriedshe will be free of me. but mother i am telling you,i will give my child to you.. ..but i won't go anywhere. i will stay with you. it is your responsibility tobring up my child and take care of me. it is yours, mother, it is yours.

girl, learn to control your tears ifyou want to have the responsibility. sorrow gives you the strength to live. don't let it flow away with tears. sister, what are you doing? bhadrakant,won't i have to secure the future.. ..for my unborn grandchild? i am still strong. i will restart the tiffin service. girl, take this.

bhadrakant, put up this board outside. pratik tiffin service. girl, clean all these tiffin boxes. hello, meenaben,i am kunjbala speaking. didn't you tell me that you needa tiffin service for your orphanage? yes, i have restartedthe tiffin service. not i have, mother. we have. yes, yes, we have. i and my daughter-in-law.

yes, yes,meenaben, less oil and chillies.. ..because it is food for children. i won't give you a cause for complain. the tiffin boxes will be delivered.. ..at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning. god, you can testus as much as you want. if you are god we tooare humans created by you. we may be facing hardships.. ..but we haven't lost courage.

our dreams and desiresare still there. you may test us we are ready. "lord krishna is passingthrough my street." "he is playing a flute." "i woke up and wentto look at krishna." sister! what are you doing exactly? i am trying to open the windows. the breeze will come in.

i thought you had atiff with daughter-in-law.. ..so you were goingto jump off from 25th floor. why should i jump off? you would rather pushyour daughter-in-law. bhadiya,what nonsense are you talking? mother, mother, mother! look.. varsha called me thrice from outside. looks like she is annoyed.

mother. - here i am. what is this? - a box of sweets? what! varsha, i have got diabetesand yet you brought a box of sweets. don't you feel ashamed? mother, you shouldfeel ashamed. - why? the watchman gave me this box. - what? yes. he said that dailyan empty box of sweets.. ..falls down from yourmother-in-law's room.

let me see. look, uncle, there is sweetsyrup in this but not the sweet balls. you ate them, didn't you? are you denying it? so how come you havesyrup stains on your sari? i had forbidden him. i had forbidden him, andstill bhadiya brought sweet balls.. ..and forced me to eat them. liar. you are a big liar.

you had eaten them yourself. i had brought 250 gramsof sweet 'jalebis' (funnel cake). nobody can win againstyou brother and sister. mother, is this the way to behave? we supply diet food all over the city. we make everybody health conscious. but we, despite being theowner of pratik food supply.. ..are ignoring our own heath. right. sister, those days are gone..

..when we used to live in a tenement. since past many years wehave shifted to this penthouse. the days are past whenyou used to prepare lunchboxes. both of you are now theowners of pratik food supply.. ..and i am the ceo. we are supplying 2000 foodpackets daily all over mumbai. we are supplying dietfood all over the city. we supply sugar-freesweets to everybody. and every day you stealand eat sweets from our fridge.

how can i steal and eat sweets? she locks the fridgeand gives the key to sakharam. rubbish. you don't believe it?i will prove it to you. sakharam! - yes, madam. doesn't varsha lock thefridge and give the keys to you? give the key to uncle. okay, take this. sakharam. - yes, sister.

give uncle the duplicatekey which mother got made.. ..and gave to you. sorry, madam, the secret is out. the secret is out. the secret of sister'smisdeeds is out. did you see, uncle? she has bribed the servants. aren't you worried about me? what if something happens to you?

who will fight with me then? who will nag me? don't worry about that. i am not going to die that easily. i am going to have a life. this old woman has eaten your food.. ..and she is not goingto die without eating.. ..your daughter-in-law's pizza. i want to witness the fightbetween you and your daughter-in-law.

she was boasting that she willtreat her daughter-in-law very nicely. i don't want to see howyou treat your daughter-in-law. i want to see how yourdaughter-in-law treats you this boy is just too much. what boy? my son and her grandson, samar. oh, i thought you thinkof me as a boy at this age. since past 5 days thisboy has not been in contact. he hasn't called up.

he hasn't sent even an email. no one is picking up thephone in his apartment in america. he hasn't sent even simple sms. uncle, this is the limitof being irresponsible. sister, she is worried about her son. why are you laughing? bhadrakant, there was a timewhen i used to wait for pratik.. ..and this woman used to laugh at me. why are you standingat the window waiting for him?

he will return when his office closes. now she must be realisingwhat waiting for a son means. only two persons canunderstand the worry.. ..in the eyes of the onewaiting for a son's return. one is a mother andthe other is the window. because the waiting eyes alsolook at the street with a fixed gaze.. ..just like the bars of the window. bhadiya, she used to mockme when i used to wait for my son. look at her now.

how worried she is whenher son didn't call up? had i been so worriedi wouldn't have sent.. ..the apple of my eyeto america for 4 years. uncle, i wouldn't havesent him to america for studying. i am telling you honestly. while sending samar therei haven't displayed weakness. bhadrakant, she hasn't letthe emotions show on her face.. ..but i am not unaware ofthe tears she had kept under control. varsha, when children arewith us they cause us headache..

..but when they go far awaythey become a pain in the heart. "oh, mother. my mother..""dear.." - samar. it is samar's call. son, where are you? since 5 days thereis no news about you.. ..and since past 5 nightsyour mother hasn't slept. son, i lie awake waiting for you. look, your grandmother is laughing.. but you know son thatyou mother doesn't feel good.. ..unless she talksto you at least once a day.

don't you now, that your mother.. i know, mother,i am your life and i am your faith. mother, i know that i amyour life's thrill and excitement. i am the music andmelody in your life. i am all the seasons in yourlife and your reason for living if i am not there you don't exist. and if you don't hear myvoice once in a day, you get fever. what say? not fever, panic. panic.

panic. panic. - panic. whatever. sorry, mom, sorry. don't be sorry andimprove yourself. - okay. son. why didn't youinform that you were coming? come on, mom,you say that i am like a hurricane.. and a hurricane can comeany time and leave any time. what do you say, kunju? oh, my, my, look at you. look at you. the youngest and the sweetestgirlfriend in my life.

your face is perfectly rosyand your eyes are waiting for me. come on, cheer up.your grandson has arrived.. ..to listen to your gujarati songs,to get a massage from you.. ..to take you for shoppingand to feed you chocolates.. ..secretly from mom. your grandson has arrived. sweetheart, what happened? son, when you cameand stood before me.. ..for a moment it felt asif pratik was standing before me.

my heart skipped a beat. i went back 25 years in time. look, don't go anywhere now, okay? stay here only. i want to live the presentwith you as my grandson.. ..and the past with my son,both at the same time. son, be happy and make yourmother a mother-in-law very soon. sister, did you bless himwith happiness or suffering? why do you say so?

how will one man live happilyamong three women in this house? exactly, granduncle. thank you. thank you, granduncle. thanks a lot becauseyou didn't tell them.. ..that i was arriving today. so you knew it, uncle? yes, i knew it,but grandnephew had threatened me.. ..that if i told youthat he was arriving.. ..he will find a fat oldwoman and force me to marry her.

with great difficulty ihave got out of naina's clutches. look at that. this boy wantsto marry off his granduncle.. ..when he himselfis of marriageable age. come on, grandmother, my marriage? of course.your hotel management course is over. you already have 2years of job experience. so it is your responsibilityto handle the business of.. ..pratik food supply,and along with that.. ..and it will be your wife'sresponsibility to look after the house.

wife? - yes. you must be joking. - please, samar. no, no, no. not at all. not at all. not at all. not at all. hey, have you too chosena girl just like your father did? look, granduncle. what should i look at? is it something like thelive and licence relationship? bhadrakant!

i know. i read a lotabout it in newspapers. these days, especially in america,live and licence relationships.. ..are very much the trend. a man and a womanlive under one roof.. ..like husband and wifewithout getting married. they live togetheras long as they like it.. ..otherwise it is good-bye. they live like husbandand wife as long as they like. when they can't adjustthey become brother and sister..

why, mother? you have made a very bigmistake by accepting sonia. you are going to build relationson your daughter-in-law's conditions.. ..but your son samaris the base for that. by bringing the daughter-in-lawand the heir into the house.. ..at the same time,your son has surpassed my son. but looking at sonia it doesn'tlook like your daughter-in-law.. ..can surpass my daughter-in-law. but we will see.

the bugle has been blown. let us see who wins. your daughter-in-lawor my daughter-in-law. no, no, no. because of you.. ..everything hashappened because of you. why because of me? everything happened because of you. it was your fault, sami. it was your fault, sonia.

you were jogging. it is plural.both of us were jogging.. ..when she insistedon boarding a local train. at daybreak? not at daybreak, in the morning. what is she saying? she insisted onboarding a local train. so i took her to the station. i made her stand beforethe ladies' compartment.

i told her to get in assoon as the train arrives. - okay. the train arrived. - okay. she got scared on seeing the crowd. she caught my hand. we got pushed by the women behind us.. ..and i entered the ladies'compartment along with her. in a local train? i have never done that.did you enjoy it? they were fisher women.

i was wondering whythe whole house is stinking. listen, granduncle, this is nothing. listen to more of it. i told her, sonia, save me. do you know what she told me? - what? i don't know this brother. sonia! you call your husband as your brother? i got confused on seeingthe fat fisher women.

those fat fisher womenwere ready to beat me. did they beat you?where did they hit you? i can't see any marks. no, i escaped. luckily i got downat the next station. tell me whose fault it is? the girl is at fault. exactly. even after allthis happened you scolded me. uncle, what do i do?

no, no, i am happy. but there is a problemif there is no fight.. ..between the mother-in-lawand the daughter-in-law. if they keep everythingbottled up in their minds.. ..one day a volcanowould erupt suddenly. instead of that if minorfights keep taking place.. ..the mother-in-lawwould become wise.. ..and the daughter-in-lawwould become sensible. about what?

how to treat herdaughter-in-law in future. in fact,bhadrakant, every mother-in-law.. ..trains her daughter-in-lawto become a future mother-in-law. i don't want to rob soniaand varsha of that opportunity. good morning, grandmother. good morning. she sat on the shirt. how is my dear child? - fine. where had you gone?- in the danger zone.

you see, mother, you orderedme and i ordered my daughter-in-law. uncle, shouldn't i enjoymy authority as a mother-in-law? mom, you are using yourauthority on the wrong person. do you know i was admittedto a hospital in the u.s. for 10 days? because i ate veg friedrice cooked by sonia. the food is ready. fried bread, curry. - curry? dry lentil, snack and sweet dish.- sweet dish. tomorrow all of uswill have upset stomachs.

uncle, how was that? abracadabra. sonia, just a minute. all of us are family members. we should give thefirst chance to our guest. serve bhadrakant first. you are forcing me. sonia, statue. i have taken a vow notto eat even a morsel of food..

..until my sister eats food. since when?- one and half second back. now decide who will taste it first. my mother-in-lawand grandmother-in-law.. ..will taste it at the same time. you will taste the snackand you will taste the sweet dish. looks like she isusing a chinese word. she wants to say taste it. hey, this snack is from trupti farsan.

and this sweet dishis from sheetal devi. my god, they found out. but sonia, hadn't i toldyou to prepare these dishes? mom, had i prepared all theseyou would have landed in a hospital. hadn't i told you that idon't know how to cook all this? but since past 3 days wasn'ti teaching you how to cook? exactly. i don't understand whyshe was forcefully teaching me? mom. - not forcefully, son.

i taught her with much love. and all these areyour favourite dishes. my mother-in-law taughtme and it is my duty to teach her. why should i learn? for tradition, dear. if the mother-in-law doesn'tteach her daughter-in-law.. ..the entire traditionand customs will become extinct. the sweet dish at weddings,and festival specific dishes.. ..will just become memories.

and dear, even if youhad prepared tasteless dishes.. ..all of us would have praised it. cooking food for your husband.. ..stitching the button on his shirt.. ..such small things show thewife's love and care for her husband. son, explain to her. you know what, mom? you are too emotional. we are living in the 21st century.

and a husband who seekslove in food is called an idiot. yes. in the u.s.i have never cooked food for sami.. ..and still there is love between us. and if there was no lovehow did this baby happen? grandmother, please tell her thati am aware of my responsibilities. sorry, sonia, but you are notat all aware of your responsibilities. mom. this girl is in the4th month of her pregnancy. i have admonished her so many times..

..and yet she is wearing heels. is this called awarenessof responsibility? sonia. - i'm sorry. look, mom, i was changingso i wore them to try out. i forgot to take them off. i know how to take care of myself. dear, had you known how to take care.. ..you wouldn't have goneto a disco day before yesterday. my god, so are you spying on me?

mind your tongue, sonia. don't forget that youare the daughter-in-law.. ..of the owner of pratik food suppy. you may not know butpeople recognise you. since past three days iknew about this but i kept quiet. i thought let it be, but youare carrying the heir to this family.. ..in you womb and you cannottake that thing for granted. fine. i won't takeanything for granted. from now on i will do andeat and drink only hat you dictate.

enough, sonia. did you see how she is reacting? don't you want to say anything to her? what do i say? what do i say and to whom? mom, if i say anythingto you it will hurt you. if i say anything toher she will feel hurt. you know what? it was my biggest mistaketo bring sonia from the u.s.

..and she is notreceiving my call also. look, a courier has arrivedfor the travel agency. mom has booked twotickets on a flight. i asked they were whosetickets and to which destination.. ..he said mom has askedthem to keep it confidential. i can't understandwhy mom is doing this. why are you getting worriedover such a small matter? your mother musthave planned to send.. ..you and sonia out of town.

a second honeymoon. you are lucky to be goingon honeymoon second time. i couldn't go on honeymoon even once. what do i tell you? i married naina, your grandaunt. as soon as i entered homeafter marriage my mother said.. ..that until the special offeringsto mother goddess is not made.. ..i will have to sleepwith my father in the kitchen.. ..and my wife willsleep with her in the room.

next? the special offeringswere done on the third day. i was ready with a clean shave. but by the time the specialofferings were made.. ..my mother died. 13 days of inauspicious period. i was counting days. somehow the 13th daywas over and on the 14th day.. ..i was ready with a clean shave.

then naina had to go todhrangdhra to her parents' house.. ..for the very firstvisit after wedding. then? - then what? a curfew of one and half months. somehow i passed those days. 45 days got over. on the 46th day i had a clean shave.. ..and went to bombay central station. the moment nains gotdown from the train..

..i took her straight to matheran. we stayed at maneklal terrace. we ate piping hot sweet breads. i ate 2 and she ate 38. 38? - thirty-eight. she was weak in maths soshe had no idea how many she ate. the cook rushed out. sir, ask this fatwoman to stop eating. my arms are aching bycontinuously rolling breads.

with great difficultyi dragged her out.. ..and we went sightseeing in matheran. she got tired while walking. because she was very fat. so i hired a horse for her. she had eaten 38 sweet breads.. ..but the horse hadn'teaten even grass since morning. the moment she sat onthe horse the horse collapsed. she fell down andshe fractured her leg.

she was on bed rest for 2 months. next? - next what? naina was on the cot with plaster. i was sleeping on thefloor on a mat with bed bugs. next? then nothing. god took pity on meand instead of 2 months.. ..her plaster was removedin one and half months. did you shave? on that occasion i didn't shave.

naina had a shave. i didn't shave but bythat time i had realised.. ..that all the problems wereoccurring because of the shave. then nothing. with the grace of goddessat the end of 9 months.. ..we were blessedwith our daughter, swati. swati weighed 7 pounds. 3 nurses had come to swing her cradle. bhadrakant. bhadrakant.

samar, when did you come? grandmother, i came just now. do you know where mom is? yes, she has gone out for some work. do you need something from her? "mummy, i.." your phone is ringing. "you still love me.." hello, samar choksi speaking.

when i asked he said that momhas told him to keep it confidential. i am not getting it.why is mom doing this? last night at 3 o'clock iwent to the kitchen to drink water. mom was standing here. when i asked her what had happened.. ..she hugged me and began to cry.. ..and saying good nightto me she went away. i am really getting tensed about her. all this has happened because of me.

no, sonia, no. no, sami. if i hadn't got angry thatday and if i hadn't rushed about.. ..i wouldn't havesuffered miscarriage. but grandmother,mom got angry so i too got angry. grandmother,i haven't done anything deliberately. grandmother,if it was her first grandchild.. ..then it was our first child too. please tell her to talk to me.

it has been 3 days sincei returned from the hospital.. ..but mom hasn'ttalked to me even once. grandmother, please tell her. i really need her. let her take our all her anger on me. let her tell me.. sonia, you were notfit to become a mother. there was a miscarriageof the heir to this.. ..because of you so it is your fault.

no, sonia.it was neither your fault nor mine. the time was just bad. mom. - enough, samar. we just have to see thatit doesn't sour our relations. no, dear. no, dear,i have no complaints against you. mother, when this girltold me that i was looking for.. ..the unfulfilled desiresof my married life. ..in her married,i realised how you must have felt..

..when i had saidthe same thing to you. i may have thought atthat time that you were wrong.. ..but when i look back i realisenow that you were right, mother. varsha, when thedaughter-in-law feels.. ..that her mother-in-law was right.. ..her own daughter-in-lawhas already entered the family.. ..and she thinks thather mother-in-law is wrong. dear, this is the trend in the world. mother, we have decidedto break that trend..

..and i have alreadymade provisions for that. samar, you will receivea phone call from the bank. i have already received it. mom, why did you get yourname removed from our joint account? samar, i am retiringfrom the business. this is the power of attorney. from now on you will take allthe decisions regarding our business. but. after due thought i had names you.

..and didn't evenfeel the need to tell us? and you are leaving the houseyou have built with your hard work. bhadrakant,we want to break the tradition.. ..that the childrenmust leave the house.. ..if there is a discordbetween children and parents. instead of snatching the rooffrom over the heads of the children.. ..and thereby belittling ourselves.. ..we want to give a roofover the heads of the children.. ..and thereby wantto show our generosity.

instead of living under oneroof and creating a rift among us.. ..we want to live far away andthereby live in your hearts forever. and samar, we are not breakingour relations by leaving. and we are not relievingyou of your responsibilities. in out ill health you willhave to come and take care of us. and whenever you need usit is our duty to stand by you. son, we are putting a commaand not a full stop to our relations. please, mom, don't go like this. sami really loves you a lot.
