Abbar Kanchanjangha (আবার কাঞ্চনজঙ্ঘা)

Smoking is injurious to health. It causes cancer.

Smoking is injurious to health. It causes cancer.

Consumption of alcohol is injurious to health.

Consumption of alcohol is injurious to health.

I thought that in the beginning, I should introduce everyone to you.

Tridev Dev is my eldest brother.

He scored first-class marks at St. Xavier's

and after turning down a good job

he joined our father's business.

He has the qualities of a gentleman.

He's a member of the Bengal Club and also plays tennis.

But now he is under stress

due to financial constraints.

My eldest sister-in-law is Renee.

She is taking care of Dev Palace all alone for so many years.

She used to sing amazingly. She was my mother's student.

But after his son's accident, his BP always remains high.

Their only son is Sunayan, Papai.

He recently met with a car accident.

Everyone says that he was driving under the influence of alcohol.

But I know that he doesn't drink.

His friend was in the car and she died in the accident.

The police arrested him but he got bail and is out now.

My second brother is Sudev Dev.

He lives in Delhi, and he is the owner of an IT company.

He doesn't meet anyone.

He only forwards messages on WhatsApp during festivals.

My second sister-in-law is Ritangana.

At one point in time, she was very beautiful.

Now her weight had increased a lot due to the use of depression pills.

The reason for her depression is not her husband but her daughter.

Rituja is their daughter.

She is a JNU student, without a boyfriend.

She never had a boyfriend.

Everyone thinks her to be a lesbian.

But she loves her uncle.

She loves him dearly.

His mother knows that society will never accept it

and this makes her depressed.

Devesh is my third brother.

He studied in Shantiniketan.

He was a student leader, but now he is a leader of the heavyweight.

Devesh doesn't like my husband at all.

Because my husband is a political journalist.

Because he criticised Devesh's party

and sometimes even Dev.

That's why we didn't come to Dev Palace for many years.

Though Devesh has bought his apartment

everyone listens to him because he is very rich.

Ruchira is Devesh's wife.

They both studied in Shantiniketan.

Ruchira used to sing amazingly.

They both loved each other very much.

I don't know why

there are lots of differences between them.

A lot!

Probably Ruchira too doesn't like my husband.

My youngest brother is Rohit.

He writes scripts and lives in Mumbai.

And he is the craziest among all of us.

He is the sweetest of the lord.

He was my best friend.

He was because we don't talk with each other now.

He is Devmalav.

He used to study with Ruchira and Devesh in Shantiniketan.

He was their senior.

I heard that Devmalav was supposed to marry.

But somehow Devesh came into her life.

Devmalav's first wife Anisha is no more.

Devmalav has married again.

Sananda is Devmalav's second wife.

She does theatre. She is a progressive woman.

She is also very family oriented.

But their daughter Atisha has not yet accepted her as her mother.

Atisha is Devmalav and Sananda's daughter.

I have heard that they want Sunayan, I mean

my eldest brother's son, to marry her.

Sumitra is my husband.

He is a political journalist. He is a famous journalist.

We stay in Delhi, at CR Park,

The B block. Near the market.

We have a love marriage.

I love him very much.

We're restricted to go to Dev Palace

because Devesh doesn't want it.

We are going there after many years as my brother has invited us.

Sumitra is going to Dev Palace for the first time.

And this is me,

Shimonti,

the only girl in this family.

She is the most pampered and the most talented.

We are going to our house in Darjeeling after a very long time.

Kanchanjhungha again.

Abar Kanchanjhungha.

The pillows are outside in the sun.

Bring them in and put them inside the pillow covers.

Also, take the clean sheets out in case

they switch on the air conditioner.

Air condition in this cold weather?

They stay in Delhi…it falls to zero degrees often.

Don’t waste your time on useless conversations…

just follow my instructions.

You’ve been carrying on since morning.

Here it comes!

Do you plan to open a wine shop soon?

Put it here. I’m just enjoying my drink and relaxing.

Listen, has the flight landed?

Have you tried to find out?

Damn! - Our girl is going to return, driving all alone.

What kind of a father are you…drinking beer obliviously!

I didn’t get fresh parse in the bazaar.

However, the raw mutton was excellent,

coated with succulent fat.

What do you mean?

We can’t just feed her Rohu fish!

The girl is returning to her father’s home after twelve years,

and we will just feed her Rohu fish?

You are not getting what I’m trying to say?

I got great Tangras full of eggs.

I can imagine Rita cooking it with chilli and spice. Fantastic!

I’m tired of this boy never receiving his calls.

He refuses to understand how worried

I always am about him after that incident.

Has the flight landed?

Yes, it has.

You go ahead and finish your bath.

The geyser has been running for quite some time now.

Now, if we receive an outrageous Electric Bill,

you’ll end up blaming the Goenkas.

Yes, right after I finish my tea.

Hey, listen!

So, what I’m saying is

Buni is finally returning with Sumitra!

Let them come first.

I am scared to hope till they are finally here.

Correct.

I never wanted to leave this house. You

Rita, are you entirely done with the cooking?

Yes, but you need to check if the mutton is tender enough.

But tell me, have you sprinkled

fried powdered spices over the chutney?

Yeah, I did it. - Good.

It is so hot today, isn’t it?

True, it’s 12 degrees today.

If you feel like having the beer, just gulp it down.

Thank you.

Sumitra?

Yes…

Can I hug you?

While driving? - Yeah.

Does anyone call his uncle by name?

Ah, you know that she is Sumitra’s fan girl.

I can, at most, add a 'Da' after his name.

Not at all. Sumitra is perfect.

Hey, Sunayan, all good?

Yes, there were two police inquiries.

Otherwise, all good.

Thank you. - Ah, not at all.

I hope Rohit is coming.

Yes, yes…hey, show her the thing.

Wait. -Just look at the good news first.

Here it is.

Angelina Dev, our young aunt!

It was a sudden engagement and a quick marriage.

Wow…what does your father have to say about this?

Oh, what will he say?

Expecting a mega family reunion,

he has been perpetually hungover for the last seven days.

Tell me how many years we are going there.

No idea. - Hmm, 20 years?

The last visit to Darjeeling… must be twenty years.

Is she coming? - She is not receiving the call.

Is Ruchira coming?

Ruchira is coming. She is on the way.

Debu has lately become so whimsical.

I told him to come last night.

He declined, saying that the CM wants him to visit North Bengal.

Huh…the CM.

Listen…where are you?

So, let us have the Tangra and the mutton for dinner.

For lunch, can we order Chinese from Wow China?

Excellent! We are back in Darjeeling again.

Hello…how long will you take? - Ah, she has got through.

I have your gloves inside.

Ratan!

Wait, I am calling him.

Ratan? - Yes, sir.

Do I have to appoint someone else to fetch you every time?

Sorry, Sir.

Where are we meeting?

We are not.

The schedule is a mess now.

So, you are trying to avoid Sumitra?

Both of them.

Devesh,

is the son-in-law of the Deb family.

Just look at the good news first.

Any idea if Debu is coming?

No, he is not. I’m sure.

Just let it be.
