There's a lot of diflerence between you and a common man

Getting mad about men doesn't beflt you

But women are rarely fooled, they always fool the men

Hunger and unemployment

Thank God, l'm employed! But doctor, what's the cure?

Not medicine. Two square meals a day. - Two square meals...?

You want to get rid ofme?

Out with my fees

Pay him

You pay. We'll settle accounts later. - God knows when

Look away

l hope that wasn't two currency notes?

You heard what the doctor said about two square meals a day, Mummy?

Don't Mummy me! l have no sons! - l wish you had one

He'd be grown up now. - He'd be olderthan you are

And when he was a baby, he would've played in your lap

And you'd sing him a lullaby, and today, he'd be all grown-up...

just like Pritam. Would you Iet him go hungy?

Not at all! -Would you let him die like this?

Why are you talking like this? - Then give him something to eat

Poorfellow is hungy. - l'm going

''Therefore l fear, that once l'm gone and till time that you depart.._'

''you will keep Anita a spinster''

''Which is why l am wording my will in this fashion''

''Your loving brother, Mohan''

Anita, ifyou see thejoke in that, why not go to your room and laugh?

Loving brother! My sibling turns out to be my enemy
