Viruddh... Family Comes First

suck that tummy In!

salute, sIr.

Can you get the stInk of rum?

No, sIr. Merely betel-leaf and scented tobacco

wow, my favourIte Labrador! You ought to have been In the dog squad

Come on, sIr

Any message from Head Quarters? - No, sIr

How about the ACP? - Fast asleep

AnythIng else?

That VIdyadhar hasn't had anythIng to eat

Here comes the pIsspot!

The constable says you haven't had anythIng to eat

The food Isn't exactly lIke home but It's not bad eIther

l eat the same food. - l'm not hungry

How about your medIcInes?

Remember what your wIfe saId?

lf you don't take your medIcInes... - How wIll l lIve?

No food or medIcIne wIll help. Only re-openIng the case wIll

And you're goIng to do that anyway

Have somethIng to eat. - Don't worry

l'm not on a hunger strIke

Nor wIll l end my lIfe In your lock-up

There's stIll a lot of lIfe In me

suIt yourself

what are you lookIng at?

Don't look lIke that at me

How l hate people lIke you! l begIn to fInd myself repulsIve!

That look makes me feel utterly Impotent

lt's a job l must do...

l earn a salary by wearIng thIs unIform...

and you're carryIng out a crusade, wIthout feelIng any exhaustIon!

You've worn yourself out doIng the rounds of the courts...

the polIce statIons and the lawyers

Your body Is all wrInkled up, lIke a much used garment!

And look at me

Every crease on my Ironed unIform Is just as It was!

Oh yes, my belt and my pIstol...

have begun to rust

ThIs cap... It's supposed to be our crown

But l wear It to cover my shame

when l look at myself In the mIrror at home...

l feel as If l'm naked, despIte wearIng thIs unIform

That gaze of yours Isn't any dIfferent from that mIrror, VIdyadhar

lt makes me feel as If you were lookIng at a dog...

hIdIng Its face behInd Its taIl!

l admIt, l'm a dog!

But don't gIve me that look to rub It In all the tIme!

Take that gaze off me and eat somethIng

lf not for me, for your wIfe

Or at least because you must have your medIcInes

You are rIght

why must l bother about your nakedness?

Rather l take care of myself and have somethIng to eat

wIll you pass me my medIcInes, please?

No man Is born great. lt's the challenge posed that Is great

lt's when an ordInary man accepts the challenge that he becomes great

My father was an ordInary man too...

who accepted the challenge so that l could rest In peace

''O Lord of DIvInIty, O MercIful Lord of all peoples''

''O supreme Lord, to Thee, we offer our salutatIons''

''You are the EpItome of every VIrtue''

''You are the Lord lncarnate''

''Thou art the One that stands for RIghteousness, we bow to You''

''Thou art the Lord that grants every vIrtue''

''Thou art The One that rules over every vIrtue''

''From Thou flows every vIrtue, deIgn to accept our obeIsances''

''The sIngle-Toothed One, the Lord wIth the arched trunk''

''O son of Goddess ParvatI, deIgn to accept our humble obeIsances''

''O Lord, Your forehead radIates lIke the Moon, we bow to Thee''

My father used to work for AIr lndIa. But despIte that...

he remaIned rooted to the earth

My mother was a PrIncIpal In a school

And her favourIte student happened to be my father

Extend your rIght hand

sorry, Teacher. - How often wIll you apologIse?

sumI, l'm glad you retIred early. Else, your poor students...

Four walls and sIx Lanes

A place known as the ''Naka'' In MumbaI's parlance

That square at Parle East, a few neIghbours...

and the two of them

ThIs Is what theIr world was all about

The ''mornIng walk'' was theIr only regular actIvIty

But watchIng them today, l can't belIeve how much they hated exercIsIng

Look at hIm sIttIng lIke the best student before the teacher!

That was because of all the chIcken tIkkas and bIryanIs, Arora!

Here's Page-3. - Mrs. GoswamI Is pregnant

All thIs laughter makes me feel really hungry

But l wIll certaInly try to become lIke you. PromIse!

You needn't be lIke me. - why?

Because l have my weaknesses too

when you're not lookIng, l add salt to my food

what was that...? You eat salt? But you...,

sorry, sorry... - what sorry?

You know how dangerous salt can be for your blood pressure?

what happens of me should you come to harm?

My dIabetIc husband! You eat frIed snacks and drInk tea wIth extra sugar!

Ever wondered what would happen of me If somethIng happened to you?

we're so selfIsh!

You're rIght. Because we don't have the courage to lIve all alone...

we don't want any harm to befall each other

we worry about each other's state after our deaths...

and yet, we contInue wIth our race to dIe fIrst

You have my word. l'll gIve up salt from today

And l'll gIve up sugar
