Did you do some scam?
Mummy!
How can they fire him like that, then?
Not fired, but suspended.
Suspension is also firing, dad.
Suspension is discipline.
It's temporary.
It's all permanent.
The prestige is lost.
People humiliate Suryanarayan a lot too.
His dad was suspended once too.
His dad was not suspended, but fired.
Fired?
Dismiss, meaning fired.
The way Akbar dismisses a court in Jodha-Akbar?
That's a story, dismiss meaning job done, all done.
This shouldn't leave this house.
And you keep your mouth completely shut, Aman.
Papa, how can this letter come all of a sudden?
This is all internal politics.
Someone has taken revenge!
I don't partake in the department politics.
I have been asking you to partake in politics since so long, everyone does.
But only if you listen... You don't like people who do politics.
You don't like Pinky because he's in politics,
neither his mom as she is in politics.
You fought Dubey because he's in politics.
And Annu, this is why he doesn't like
your brother Princu or Mr. Tyagi, either.
They did politics with our brother Annu himself, mom!
Shut up now!
He wants to do politics in our home itself.
He wants to come home, watch Rabish Kumar,
cook chicken, have alcohol and listen to Javed Akhtar when drunk.
Mummy, that's Begum Akhtar.
She might be his sister.
How will the family survive, Mr Mishra?
Such a topper, but can't divide by 14. Give it to me.
I did ask you to put me in arts.
I just can't understand maths and science.
Should I admit you now, in this troubling time?
Your dad's suspended here,
I am adding my salary to see how much I can get by adding TA, DA, this and that.
Temporary phase is called a trouble, not a problem.
Should I teach you the definition of life?
Should I?
'After adding everything, I can only have half, around 17000.'
'In this Hindu society...'
'following the rules and regulations.'
'is dependent on community's co-existence.'
'Our opinion...'
At your old-age, you will get a salary equivalent to your son's
How would you feel? What would the people say?
You are just worried about the people,
If you are not worried about the people, so be it.
I am the one who has to show her face.
I am the one who buys the vegetables, goes to the temple.
I am the one people meet in birthdays and weddings, greet me,
you just stay here.
Neither you meet someone, nor you greet someone.
So I am the one who the people will question, right?
Mummy.
'For co-existence...'
-Hello? -Hello?
-So Suryanarayan? -Yes.
Tell me something, when your father was dismissed, did he manage it?
He was suspended, and not dismissed, and yes, he managed it.
Okay, fine.
-Hello? -Yeah?
-I forgot to ask something. -What?
How did he manage the money?
He did.
-How? -He did.
-But how, bro? -Man!
-This is Annu. -Yeah, Annu?
This is brother Annu.
Yeah, brother Annu, say.
Your dad was in water department, right?
After how long was he re-instated?
Around 6,8... He was re-instated after15 months.
So 1.5 years?
How is 15 months 1.5 year? It's 1 year, 3 months.
-Oh? -Yeah!
Son, how much salary did he get till then?
Around half, aunt.
Only half? It was enough?
We are rich people, aunt.
Dad had saved a lot.
Else wouldn't I have been studying in Aman's school?
Oh, I am getting someone's call, hang up.
Go to the office and nicely talk to someone.
-With whom? -The one who roasted your behind.
The one who did politics with you.
But I would need to know his name before that.
We will have to find out his name if we have to save our prestige, papa.
Annu, you go with him.
Who knows, he will stop and talk with someone in the society,
and cry out his woes.
I have no faith on him.
What the hell, man?
This is how the life is gone to hell.
If you talk of solution, the man raises a question on the problem!
Come dad, let's go.
Sit here, quietly.
Annu, you go.
'When a rich man is suspended, it's news.'
'But after a poor man is suspended, he himself becomes news.'
'The eyes of the society, neighborhood, relatives'
'are just like the eyes of a vulture.'
'Everyone stays fixated on this,'
'let the woes be here, dear.'
'We will gossip and make it public.'
'Middle class happiness is a public affair,'
'sadness is a public affair'
'a full stomach is a public affair'
'a sad starvation is a public affair.'
'The past is a public affair,'
'and even the changed winds' route is a public affair too.'
'Till the point this middle-class'
'won't remove the word 'public' from the dictionary,'
'somewhere in the background of his life,'
'this song will keep on playing in the voice of Kumar Sanu,'
'No matter how many tries we make to hide love,'
'the world will come to know.'
"At times plays. At times mischief."
"Be it crooked or simple."
"A little rigid. A little entangled."
"But we grabbed it all the same."
"A little moist. A little dry."
"At times happy. At times sad."
"It dissolves like cardamom."
"It strikes the cord of the heart."
"Life was a piggy bank of memories."
"Life was a piggy bank."
'Ravi Natar, record#2219,'

Hey Yadav, bring the 2nd file, man.
Coming, coming, sir.
Sir?
Yes, this is the right one, okay, go.
Sir, if you could check my file once too...
"Shattering my heart in pieces, she left smiling..."
Yeah Tiwari, go ahead?
No man, your suspension won't go through, brother.
You are a union man, have you ever not helped anyone?
No, no, everything's fine here.
Yeah, I was saying, we would have to put a pillar till AE sir's house.
How, why, how would I know?
He loves pillar.
A pillar of gin, a pillar of rum,
and he's looking desperately for a peg of scotch now-a-days.
Fine, we will arrange for scotch, then.
What are you saying?
2 minutes, I will call you back, Tiwari.
Is he your son, Mr Mishra?
Yes sir, he's my elder son.
He's elder!
He takes after you, Mr Mishra.
What?
He can directly find a solution.
Explain to him and understand yourself,
if you have to stay in the system, you have to work as per the system.
If you walk alone, you will have to face everything alone.
The condition you are in presently, will be the same, forever.
We asked you to sit with us in the protest, right?
What wrong would it do to you?
Now you got suspended.
Now go tell that around the colony.
This would not have happened, had you joined the Union.
But, sir, you...
Son, go out!
Why should I go out?
I am observing this man is speaking rubbish.
What did you say? One minute! What?
Mind your language! This is not your father's cabin.
Yes, sir! Forgive him. He is a kid.
Get out!
Go!
Why aren't you saying anything to him?
-How arrogantly is he talking! -Hey!
-What? I am talking with you! -Behave yourself! Put your finger down!
Put your finger down! Behave yourself!
-This is not your father's cabin! -Come!
Yadav! Take him out!
Sir, forgive him!
Don't act like a Tarzan. Get out!
-Come out! -Get out!
I was talking. You come with me.
You do your work. Let me do mine!
That man was insulting you. Why aren't you saying anything?
I am talking. Let me!
Even I was doing so.
I have lost my job, so I will have to talk.
Go from here!
Okay, if it's about the job, then you talk.
So, go now, son!
Why are you creating a scene here?
Show me if you are not understanding.
Let me see!
It was updated 4 years back.
And what was the balance 4 years back?
-In minus. -What do you mean?
Whenever we have received father's salary, it was spent in 10 days.
Now, how can I tell you about the money here?
Neither the dates are updated, nor the months.
Let alone the address.
Mom, dad must be receiving the message for the salary on his phone?
He did not update since he changed his phone number.
I asked him to do it so many times. He said he will.
Now the message must be received on the old number.
So, who has that number?
-Some unemployed person might have it. -What!
Salary message to an unemployed person!
It's a big thing that you are at least receiving half salary, Mr. Mishra!
But sir, how will I run my house?
I'll have to think about the future as well.
No suspended man ever dies of hunger.
He dies of shame!
Now suffer!
I am suffering.
Honestly knelt down before politics.
Tell this to everyone, so you have some respect left.
When a person gets a job, he is joyous!
And when the same man loses his job, the whole colony fires crackers!
What do you think? This will only stay in this office?
Go and look at your colony.
From the beetle-leaves shop to just another man in the colony,
everybody must be knowing about this.
Speak slowing, sir!
You go. I am at work and I have a lot to do. Go!
Go! Don't join hands. Go!
I am joining hands.
'Ghulam! Slave! Bonded labour!'
'These 3 words mean the same.'
'You know what is common in these 3?'
'Job!'
'All these people, for years, without asking questions,'
'work for their bosses.'
'Why? Because job is not work. It is a drug!'
'This drug seems good initially.'
'Then you get used to it.'
'And then, they work without love and affection.'
'The side-effects human body has after leaving drugs,'
'ditto ditto same happens while leaving a job.'
'There's nervous-breakdown. There's anxiety and stress.'
'And this is issued in public interest!'
"Batohi! Batohi!"
"Batohi!"
Guddu's father asked to make pudding with big sugar cubes.
I said I have small.. What?
How come he is early today?
Why is Annu's father home so early?
Annu's father, what happened? Have you been suspended from your job?
No, it's nothing like that.
Uncle got scared!
You did not go to the office today?
-I am coming from their. -Okay.
Uncle is home early it seems.
I am feeling down the weather.
How come? Let me see!
No. No. There's no fever!
Annu's mother! Everything is fine. There's no fever.
Yes, Bittu's mother! Everything is fine!
That is what I am saying. Everything is fine!
What? No?
Fine! Everything is fine!
Brother Aman! Let's go upstairs and make that reel!
You go and make!
-Why? -I don't have a mood.
Annu's father! Where are you going?
-Bittu's mother! -Yes, son!
Free ration is being sold. You didn't go to get some?
It's being sold again?
Since long. It's the last day today.
Really? Bittu, come. Let's get some!
We'll get 2 free units if we both go together.
I'll take sugar later, Annu's mother! You take care of Annu's father, okay?
Okay? Come, son. Come!
Annu's mother! Is something wrong?
There's no charm these days!
Mom, Ronak must be at his home!
Annu's mother, take care of Annu's father!
-We'll make reel tomorrow. -Yes yes. Go!
Come!
Why did you lock the room?
I'll take rest.
I want to sleep for some time. Do not disturb!
I will go to the bank tomorrow.
It would have been better if he didn't get it made.
Did you get any news from the office?
What news?
Neither he does anything, nor let's anybody do anything.
What do you mean?
I mean, sir was talking with so much disrespect.
I got triggered, so he asked me to go out.
Cook eggplant vegetables for that man!
I used to cook those for junior sir.
Like, junior sir helped us with anything.
What did father say?
What will he say?
Nothing happened, so he went to the room and slept.
He goes to sleep when he has no answer.
Yes! You are his father, right?
Do one thing, come to the bank with me.
I have to update my passbook.
What will I do? You go by yourself.
You will get the passbook updated. I have to meet Lucky for some work.
Okay! I'll freshen up and come.
Do you have to do modeling there?
Wear trousers and come with me!
Starts to debate all the time.
Go!
I am going, mom!
Did you get it updated in the 19th century?
Were you clerk even then?
Ink will get finished in the printing machine.
Get it out of the bottle and put in.
It needs dry ink.
Put in the wet ink.
"Put in the wet ink"
Go from here!
Look, I can't find anything important.
Sir! Something like
Mutual Fund or FD?
It might be in some other bank. It's not here.
Let's talk with Pinky uncle about dad.
No, he'll get mad.
Then who should we talk to?
He doesn't listen to anyone. What can we do?
We need to find some solution.
I don't understand anything!
Oh, man!
What did Lucky brother say?
He said he'll see.
What will he see?
He'll see what he needs to.
He'll keep on seeing?
You learn to speak less, Aman. Stop debating!
-Do you see! -No..
-Stop talking rubbish. -Speak slowly.
Your father is sleeping inside.
Why is he sleeping for too long? Wake him up!
People sleep in tension.
Is this any time to sleep?
This is no time to sleep but he must be tired.
What tired!
Dad!
Dad, come out! We'll eat together.
Ring him on phone. He will wake up. He has alarms on his phone too, these days.
'The number you've dialed is currently switched off'
It's switched off.
Dad!
Wake up!
It's bad luck to sleep in the evening.
Dad, come out and tell what happened at the office.
Wake up! We all will take care.
Don't be mad.
Yes, dad! Forgive me if I did anything wrong.
Mom, dad does not keep the door lock for too long.
Dad, even I am more or less responsible now. I have started to earn too.
What difference will it make to not receive salary for 2-3 months?
My salary will do. You come outside.
Dad!
We'll manage. It's okay!
Dad!
He is not snoring.
Dad!
Dad! Open, mom!
-Dad! -Dad!
Hey, dad!
Dad!
Push it from there!

Doctor!
Is dad okay?
It was a minor heart attack. But his vitals are stable.
Will it happen again?
I'll brief you in detail.
But after keeping him in observation for few days.
-Thank you, doctor! -Take care!
Thank you!
Brother, give 2 cups of tea.
Annu brother!
No, I don't want to.
Here.
Drink slowly!
I am drinking slowly.
No, like you drink.
Annu brother, is dad okay?
Yes!
I was scared, man!
I thought, I don't know what happened.
What will happen, means?
People die like this, man!
Nobody dies by telling anything to anyone.
Have you ever thought,
what will happen if we lose dad?
What will happen to you?
To mother, to me?
-Hello! Hello! Hello, Annu! -Yes, Lucky! Tell me.
Yes, I am saying that I am with Prinsu brother
and let us know if you need anything.
No, there's no need!
Why?
Where was everybody when I needed them?
-Man, what are you saying? -I'll call you. I am at the hospital.
Hello? Hello? Hello?
He has a network issue, brother. That's why it hung up.
He will call back.
What did Lucky brother say?
What will you do with it?
Tell me something too.
-You'll do everything alone or what? -Yes, I will.
I am elder.
I'll take all the responsibilities too.
It's not good.
My heart is not good, Aman.
Anyway brother, who attacks on heart?
Well, let it go! Don't strain your brain.
Your heart has enough pressure already.
You have orange juice. It is very good for heart!
Now, who told you this?
Bittu's uncle is physician-surgeon.
A man is either physician or surgeon, bittu's mother.
Yes, whatever!
You give orange juice to Annu's father. It is good for health.
But, Mr. Mishra, you should have atleast told us. What is this anger?
-We would have come. -Yes!
Yes, we did not get to know.
-You had our number, sister! -Yes
We are your well-wishers!
How will anything happen to you?
Throw out heart problems from your heart!
Why not!
Join your heart with your brain!
Not otherwise!
And people keep getting suspended in this world.
Bittu's father gets suspended every year.
And keep coming back in life every year.
Right!
Getting suspend is not a big deal!
It is very simple, Mr. Mishra!
Mr. Mishra! Take care of your heart. It will help you in the future.
-He is a bit tired. He needs rest! -Yes.
-Okay, we'll leave! -Take rest!
-Yes yes! -Let's go!
-Greetings! -Take care, Mr. Mishra!
-Take care! -Yes!
-Give a call. -Yes
-Thanks a lot! -Take care, Santosh!
Don't worry son your father will get well soon.
-Annu! -Coming!
Prinsu brother, you?
Greetings!
-How is your father? -Dad's fine. Come in!
Dad, Prinsu brother!
-Prinsu brother, you sit here! -Annu!
-Get some tea! -No. No.
No need to get worried.
-Brother's got this. -Thank you, Prinsu brother!
Why did you bother?
What, Mr. Mishra!
Man, we were mad with Annu, not you.
You are like a father to me.
And Annu, you should have told us.
Prinsu brother, why would I get you worried!
What problem? You did not even call once.
That led to me dealing with hundreds of calls.
Come inside!
Lucky! Why are you standing outside?
The motor-cycle's stand broke off.
I learnt of it in Prinsu brother's marriage.
Where are you getting in? Stand up!
Sir, you?
Don't give him respect!
I got him his job.
And he got you suspended.
Ask for forgiveness!
Yes.
Mishra brother, forgive me!
I mean, I was crazy to say all of that rubbish.
I am asking forgiveness from heart. Please forgive me!
-Sister, please make him understand! -Yes.
Behave yourself, son!
The one who can provide you with a job, can also snatch it from you.
No!
He is a good man.
I don't know about good
but your sir is very stupid.
Now, leave! Go!
And listen! Tell your department all the truth.
And cancel his suspension.
Don't worry!
Sister, take care!
I'll drop him off or he'll run away.
Here's a lot of oranges. We are anyway deficient of Vitamin C.
Mr. Mishra, I'll take your leave now!
And Annu, you? You are a worker, man!
Man, it's okay if I don't get involved in happiness,
but I can stand with you in pain, right?
Yes, Prinsu brother!
Come and meet me! I have thought about something for you.
Let's go!
I'll go drop him, dad! Prinsu brother!
I have seen you somewhere!
Me? No, where?
Do you sit at the bridge?
No, I am a science student. You must have not seen me.
Yes, he must be your duplicate.
Yes, might be.
Greetings!
Is he a dangerous man?
Son, come here!
-What happened, dad? -Sit!
Aman, come in front!
I have to talk with you.
Tell me something!
How did you pay the hospital bills?
We paid. You have rest!
Dad, you rest. Give him oranges.
Son!
You tell me how did you pay?
A lot of people know me in the medical field.
I did not earn money, but I did earn people.
And all those together paid your bill.
Had you not been there...
Not been there means?
I mean...
That night...
I felt like
it is the time.
-Dad! -Yes, man!
I thought, you recently got your new job
and I am burdening you with all of this.
Dad!
Listen, move aside.
Mom, no one will cry now.
Job! Job! It's all because of the job, dad!
Even I will work, dad!
What job will you do, son?
Dad! I'll study science
and do Engineering.
I'll go to NASA.
But the priest was saying that there's artist inside you.
Dad, he was just saying.
The person you gave 500 rupees to, for prediction,
he studied with me in 5th grade.
Forgive me, dad!
What are you all saying. I don't understand anything!
Dad! I will study science.
That is what you are studying.
No. No.
A man should be happy.
Son, study whatever you want to, to be happy.
Write whatever you want to.
Stay happy!
-Dad, I love novels. -Really!
I want to become a novelist.
What is that?
That...
That is bad luck.
-There's also a lot of disrespect. -What!
People throw eggs and stale tomatoes.
And also these oranges.
'Novelist is a person'
'who tells that no system, government, law stands with a middle-class person.'
'Some people stand.'
