Mom...

Mom...

Grandma is awake.

Careful...

- Vinu... - Hmnn

We've to change her diaper.

Can't we do this in the morning?

Hold her.

Come...

Alright.

There...lift her from here.

Lift... a bit more!

Got it? Yeah?

Amma, we can't do this 4-5 times a day.

We need to make some arrangement.

- What arrangement? - Let's get a home nurse.

And who'll pay for that?

We can hardly meet ends on my salary.

A home nurse...indeed!

Come and hold her.

Please hold her properly, Vinu!

Haven't I been holding her properly all this while?

Quickly, please!

If you are doing it half-heartedly, don't do it.

Go back to bed.

"The Past"

It's ok.

Isn't it better than being bedridden?

Be at peace that her passing is for the better.

My mother...

...passed away recently.

It is since then...

...I have been feeling like this

Why did you stop your medication?

For a while...

...I had them as prescribed.

Later...

When I recovered...

...I stopped taking them. - You shouldn't stop like that.

The previous doctor here would have instructed you clearly, right?

Asha, you have clinical depression.

It's a disorder.

And it doesn't get cured like flu.

You stopped your medication abruptly and hence...

...you are facing this issue now.

You need to continue your medication. Please don't stop midway.

Is there anyone in your family...

...with a similar medical history?

My mother...

She was quick-tempered.

She'd get really upset over silly things.

So...

...she clearly understood me.

Whatever the problem...

...I was able to share with her.

She was very supportive.

Later she had a stroke...

...and lost her memory.

Towards the end...

She...

...even forgot my name.

Who else is there at home?

I have a son.

He completed his D. Pharm...

...and is job hunting.

And is your son like you?

Does he open up to his mother?

He is not like me.

He is like his father.

Two pegs, please.

Vinu, will you be late?

Hmm.

Give me a call when you're free.

So what are Vinu's plans now?

What about his job hunt?

He is still searching.

He got a couple of offers. But they were far from here.

So he rejected them.

He can go for them now.

If he gets something nearby, we can consider.

What is he going to get here?

If you need any assistance, aren't we all around?

Let him go!

If he leaves, wont I be by myself?

Who else do I have?

- Vinu... - Hmm?

Move the wheelchair to Grandma's room.

I have cleaned it.

Didn't I just ask you to move it?

Shall we put this on OLX (ebay)?

It is just lying around here.

Just do as I ask!

Darn!

- What fell? - Uh, nothing.

- Huh? - Uh... Grandma's spectacles...

- Did you break them? - No, no. I didn't.

Move aside.

You are so useless.

- Four... - Four...

- Five... - Five...

- Six... - Six...

- Seven... - Seven...

- Eight... - Eight...

- Nine... - Nine...

- One... - One...

- Zero... - Zero...

Ten... Ten...

Teacher...

Teacher, if you go on leave so often...

...it is difficult for us to manage.

Why don't you take a long break?

Meanwhile, I'll appoint someone else here.

No, that won't be necessary.

Uh... I'll continue here.

Please don't get me wrong....

We are handling young kids here.

If you could be a little more pleasant in your approach...

You get what I am saying?

Come, come here...

- Hello? - Hey, I am outside.

Am on the second floor.

Is this material for a top?

- Oh, it goes with this. - This is the dupatta.

Ok, how's this?

Not bad, I liked the pink one actually.

Ah! There you are.

What's going on?

- Birthday shopping. - Ah.

Can you show me that one, please?

- How's it? - It's nice.

This color might look better actually.

It's birthday, after-all!

Any plans after this?

What plan? I've to go home. That's it.

- Priya... - What?

Shall we go somewhere after this?

No, Vinu.

We can just go and...

- I am not interested, Vinu. - Why?

Now you have time now?

Huh?

So, now you have the time to call me and meet me?

I was in a messed up situation.

What situation?

Your Grandma's demise?

That I can understand. What was the problem before that?

Before that... I was not in the right mood.

What?

So you will call only when you're in the mood?

- That's not what I meant... - Vinu...

Calling me and meeting me... whenever you feel like, won't work.

Hmm.

It won't happen again.

If it happens again, you can find another girl.

Can I at least drop you?

No need. I'll go with her.

Hmm.

My birthday is on Sunday. I insist you come over.

S...ure I will.

Come only if you are in the right mood...

- You need to buy anything? - Uh, no.

Here you go...

How are things at home? Is your Mom fine now?

- Hmm, she has to. - Hmm.

- Hey... - Hmm?

For the other day...

That was for Rs 1000.

- 1000? - Yeah!

Can I pay the rest next week?

I am leaving next week.

- Where to? - Oh, I didn't tell you, right?

- Remember, the job I told you about? - Uh, yeah...

I decided to take it up.

Should you take up that job after studying D. Pharm?

We did D.Pharm for sure. But we didn't learn anything, right?

Afterall, who is getting a job in their field of studies these days?

We just want to somehow make it!

- You heard about Sajin? - What?

- He's getting married. - Marriage?!

You didn't know? Don't you check your Instagram?

- I'm not on Insta. - He's living the life!

I'll show you.

Here... that's the car he bought last week.

Insta is about merely putting up a show.

You and your cynical attitude!

People are moving on with their lives.

We are the only ones stuck here, with no respite.

Aren't you having dinner?

Not now.

So you don't want it at all?

Can I make some Maggi (noodles)?

And who is going to eat... What I prepared...

Just eat this.

Unnecessarily troubling others...

Jimmy... move aside. I said... move!

Hope you have lab experience.
