Every town in the world, has its own story. That's what I've heard.
And every story...
...has a town somewhere at the heart of it.
Stories about people.
Stories about their relationships.
And stories about a life being lived!
This is the town of our stories.
Siliguri.
And this is our home.
What I mean by ours is, my mother, father...
...and me.
The person whose name is written on...
...all these certificates?
That's me.
Enakshi Dasgupta.
There's so much happening in the kitchen since morning.
We're cooking lamb today! That's why.
Because it's the first time that a boy's family is coming to see me.
For my hand in marriage.
Have some, my child.
Delicious!
Please have some.
- Please, do have some! - Of course, you keep it for now!
Did you know?
Anup sir here owns...
...a watch shop in Hong Kong Market.
His is one of the oldest establishments...
...in Hong Kong Market! Isn't it?
The shop may be old, but our watches are always the newest and most modern ones.
Our stock comes directly from Hong Kong.
See?
And our Prasanjeet sir here...
He has an electronics shop at Sevak Road.
It's really successful, it's always crowded!
All my stocks are made in China.
Where in Sevak Road?
- Do you know Vishal cinemas? - Of course.
There's a wine shop right in front of it.
Sushma Wines!
Just take a right from there.
Sushma Wines?
The one next to Lovely Beauty Parlour?
- Yes, yes. - Yes, that's the one.
My wife is a regular customer over there.
At Sushma Wines?
No!
At the beauty parlour.
Oh! Alright, yes.
Mrs. Sushma is quite unhappy these days. Poor lady.
She's involved in a court case right now.
She opened up a wine shop, that too, next to a beauty parlour.
As soon as the sun sets, the drunkards show up, get drunk...
...and stare at the ladies going to the parlour.
That's the kind of beauty parlour you go to?
I go in the afternoons!
I've heard that Enakshi dances quite well.
She's wonderful at it!
- She has a lot of certificates for it! - Yes.
Then we'll definitely come to see Enakshi dance one of these days.
Absolutely, you will have to come!
Would you dance to 'Chittiyaan Kalaiyaan' please?
Have one, won't you?
Priest?
- Yes? - Search for an auspicious day now.
There's something important that I had to discuss.
With you.
We'll get plenty of time to talk, Mr. Anup.
Why?
Enakshi, my dear! First tell me, are you a vegetarian?
You didn't even touch the mutton!
The thing is...
...I'm not allowed to eat mutton.
Oh...
The thing is that the doctor has told Enakshi...
...to refrain from eating lamb, oil and many other things.
Oh! Her cholesterol must have gone up!
No, it's not her cholesterol...
Enakshi's hair...
...falls down a lot.
She has very weak hair, so...
- all of these things make it worse, so... - Oh, what's big deal?
My child, use coconut oil on your hair.
It'll all get better and your hair fall will stop.
It's not what you're thinking it is.
They must be falling when she takes a bath, right?
Mine fall down too. What's the big deal?
And with the grace of God, we don't have white floors in our home.
Even if the hair falls down sometimes...
...nobody will notice. Right, mom?
Mr. Anup? Mr. Anup?
- Mr. Anup? - Yes?
Let's finalise this relationship.
Priest, find us an auspicious date.
I'll just check the horoscopes and tell you!
- Priest! - Hmm?
Tell us if there's a date in November or December!
The weather is absolutely wonderful!
She's absolutely right!
Vishroop can wear a thick tuxedo as well!
He won't feel hot at all, and the groomsmen will be happy too!
And we...
- That was surprising! Priest... - Yes?
...couldn't you have told us earlier that the girl is bald?
Even I didn't know that the girl was bald!
I've just found out that the girl is bald!
Thank God we found out early enough.
Alright, let's forget and move on.
Don't worry, I'll find you another girl.
'GONE KESH' (Gone Hair)
Enakshi?
Enakshi?
Don't you have to go to work?
I'm seeing yours and dad's dreams come alive in my dreams!
The same dream?
I was singing and dancing in Punjabi this time.
Come on, get ready. You're getting late.
Have a dream or two in English next time?
Are there any other colours or shades in this?
Ma'am, you should see this one.
This is the trendiest one right now.
Okay.
And your complexion is quite fair...
...so it'll look wonderful on you.
Nice.
How does it look?
Didn't you buy one last week?
Is it finished already?
You eat up half of it from my lips!
I'll take this one.
- Okay, please pack this one. - Sure ma'am.
Ma'am, would you like to see something else?
Shampoos, creams, face-packs?
There's a discount on whitening clay as well!
- Next time... - Sure.
- How much? - One fifty.
Yeah.
Thank you madam!
- Shall we? - Let's go.
What happened? What are you thinking about?
There's a dance competition in the mall.
I'm thinking of participating in it.
It's the only thing I've cared about since I was a child.
Dancing. And I'm doing everything except that.
I'm selling shampoos, lipsticks and creams!
- Pri? - Yes?
Are you going to sell lipsticks your entire life or will you ever wear them?
Look at him, he's ready to eat it up.
Yuck!
I'd rather get married than deal with that!
You'll get nowhere by dancing, just get married.
Srijoy's been mad about you ever since college.
See, he's still looking at you.
He's a manager at the shoe shop.
He's straightforward and always stands...
...at that spot to steal a glance at you after lunch.
Hey! I'm telling you, he's a nice guy.
You should snatch him up, before...
...he moves on to somebody else!
Yes, mom?
Have your medicine.
Alright!
And, Mr. Ram?
When did you get back?
You took a really long vacation this time.
