Good! You've at least got freedom from canteen food!

lsn't your car here to pick you up? - It came yesterday.

''l only have a suitcase today, so l'll go alone.''

l've sent the ward-boy to fetch an autorickshaw. He hasn't come yet.

That means you'll miss out on your breaMast on the first day itself.

Here it is. You won't lose your breaMast now.

Listen! Convey my regards to your parents.

''Good-day, Madam. - Good-day.''

Who was here? - No one.

Vey well! You may leave.

HMT time: 8.25 a.m.

8.25?! Goodness! That means l won't get breaMast even today.

lt's almost 8.25! Hury up! Mother must already be downstairs.

''Okay, let's go. Where's Munni? - She's gone downstairs. Come on.''

You are the best child at home; always punctual.

''Will Inder be at home today? - Yes, his internship is over today.''

That's punctuality.

''lf you're not punctual, you achieve nothing in life. Mother's right!''

She also says one shouldn't speak vey loudly.

Thank God. There's someone else to remind you all of good manners.

Bless you. You really talk loudly nowadays.

''You've come, have you? - l've just arrived.''

Your medicine for cough helped me; l'll have to buy some more of it.

You are flattering him today!

And until recently you made fun of his inexperience.

What? - Hey! Don't let out my secret.

''ls eveyone here? You too have come! You'll stay here now, won't you?''

''Yes, father. - Good. Sit down.''

''Hasn't Jagan come yet? See what he's upto, or he'll miss breaMast.''

There's no need for that. He should arrive on time by himself.

''No, mother. He loses breaMast thrice a week an_ay.''

Even then he doesn't Iearn a lesson.

Why didn't you wear a vest? - l was in a hury so...

''And why didn't you comb your hair? - l did, but...''

l really don't know. - You'll know rightaway. Get up.

Keep your foot on the foot-impression.

''No, don't take o_ your slippers; these are slipper-prints.''

Now bring your foot fo_ard.

Got it... Oh! l remember...

you asked me to take my medicines at Eight.

''l'd forgotten and was in the garden, so, l hurried back...''

''Why are you glaring at me? l did it! So, l'll clear it up.''

''Get me a cloth... l'll wipe it. - Please sit down, l'll do it.''

Why should you? The rules of this house apply equally to eveyone.

Whoever makes a mistake has to pay for it. l'll do the same.

Won't you sit down now? - Vey well. l'll sit down.

''How's your Blood Pressure now, daddy?''

lt had dropped when l saw the footprints. It's normal now.

Didn't you say Jim Reeves is outdated? Now listen to this one.

You play it. l'll close the door. Mother may arrive unexpectedly.

Where did you get the headphone? - l bought it with my pocket-money.

lt's study time. Mother shouldn't get to hear the music.

Hey! What are you doing? - l've got a stomach-ache.

''Do you get it? - l do! Just a minute, mother.''

Why was the door locked? What's happened to him?

He has a severe stomach ache. l was examining him.

''Why this sudden pain? - Don't wory, mother.''

''He eats too much. Don't give him anything today, he'll be fine.''

She's the university badminton champion and next...

lt's time for you to study now.

Looks like brother will never get married.

Why? - Mother wants a traditional girl...

''lf you want to get married, make your own arrangements.''

And how about you? - l've already got married.

Married to whom? - Music.

Listen... - Yes...?

l'm going to attend a meeting - All right.

But that doesn't mean you can have tea while l'm away.

''when you behave like a child? - Well, l'm a father''

Don't give me those dim looks. l won't play any more tricks.

Such a lovely rose! There are simply no thorns!

What are roses without thorns?

lfthere are roses there'll be thorns too.

The thorns will pierce and you'll have to bear the pain.

Good-bye! - Good-bye!

Like Lord Ram and Sita. - Like the rose and the thorn.

l mean... you are the rose and l am the thorn.

How's your daughter? - Fine. She's got a good husband.

Be seated

Our happiness lies in our children's happiness.

True. Please look out for a suitable girl for Chander too.

You got Sunder married and forgot about my other sons.

l have a girl in mind for Chander.

My friend Ramdayal's elder daughter. She's a good girl from a good family.

Over-eating is bad. And drinking is vey bad.

Please be serious! We'd like to see the girl.

Arrange it as soon as you can. l'll send some tea in a while.

l've got to attend a meeting.

Ask for some extra tea. - Excuse me....

Please send some extra tea in a big glass.

He's not supposed to drink tea. l'll send you just one cup.

She got it. - Okay... Give me a cigarette.

You're not supposed to smoke a_er your heart-attack.

One cigarette won't hurt me. - Whatever your wife does...

is for your own well-being. It's her no-nonsense attitude...

that is keeping eveyone together.

''Else, your 4 sons would have gone berserk by now.''

True; Don't forget about the alliance for Chander.

What's your friend's name? - Ramdayal.

''Coming,... . Where is Manju?''

''Absolutely. Here l am. - Come, let's have breaMast.''

''Pour some tea for me, sis. - This toast is burnt.''

Oh no! l didn't expect this of Y.B. Chavan.

Why? What's happened? - He's deserted Mrs. Indira Gandhi.

They got together and split the Congress Pam.

Mr. Reddy had a good proposition. - But they too had a good opposition.

''No, dear. It's a question of unity. - Is this how the breaMast is?''

Why? What's the matter? Has something gone wrong?

ls that the way you rhyme? Come on now... open your mouth.

Let's here you crow.

''Sir, the breaMast has gone cold. - And your napkin is soiled.''

''Well said, my boy. - Come on in.''

The man we thought is stupid... - ... that is this Ashrafilal.

proved his intelligence by rhyming so well.

''Keep it up! The question is, what are you serving today?''

Bread and lentil-cury.

''Hey! What's going on? - Nothing, just munching.''

''So strange, not even allowed to munch.''

Throw a card.

''You are scolding her, as though she's a Jack of spades.''

''l didn't scold her. - Of course, you did.''

''All right, don't argue. l'm not a Jack of spades.''

What do l do now? - What's the matter?

''Your moves should be well thought out, isn't it?''

You haven't eaten a betel-leaf; Please have 4 leaves.

''l am having it right now. - Not betel-leaf, eat this one.''

''What do you say? - Don't force him, let him be.''

Here's a 4...

What's the matter? - They are fooling us.

How is that? - Didn't you understand?

''What did she say?...Uncle, you didn't have betel-leaf for quite sometime.''

Please have 4 betel-leaves and she dropped a 4 of hearts. Look at that.

''And this: l'm not a Jack of spades, l'm a queen of spades.''

Don't cheat. - Please forgive us this once.

''Cheating's a sin; not to repeat... - Forget not, kids, l'm your father.''

At least now stop being childish.

You know my wife died when they were little girls.

That's what l'm here to discuss. - What?

There's a good proposal for Aniu; from a vey nice family.

The suitor is a lawyer. Anju will be happy with him.

That's what l wish for; she should always be happy.

''But they are vey decent. She'll change, without even knowing it.''

''l'll ring them up, so they can come to see her.''

''Listen sis, there's a proposal for you''''''

''Let me tell you about the boy's virtues''''''

lt hurts, sis''

''Comes from a good stock, but he stammers a little''''''

''D... dear... A... Aniu... c... come... c... closer''''''

''Comes from a good stock, but he stammers a little''''''

''He has some chicken pox scars, he also chews betel-leaves''''''

''And when he chews betel-leaves he likes to booze''''''

''That is, he boozes when he loses in gambling''''''

''Not eveyday, but he o_en plays cards''''''

What are you doing on the terrace? - l was doing my work-out.

lt's good for health. - We're going to Bombay tomorrow...

''to take a look at Chander's bride. l, Sunder and Chander won't be able to go''

Why can't Chander go to see his bride-to-be?

He's not shameless to go and see a bride for himself.

''Should someone ask about him, you should tell him that.''

Keep an eye on your father. No sweets or cigarettes for him.

Don't you wory about that.

Just check-out the girl properly.

''They are coming to ''''see'''' you! How could you agree to such a thing?''

l was helpless. How could l disobey Daddy?

''Why don't you say, you are dying to get married!''

As soon as you heard about the proposal you jumped at it.

''Come and take,,a,,,,look... vey nice.
