Hello?
Ma, I'll call you back.
Yes, a bit later.
Ma, I'm doing a Puja. Will call later.
Yes, Ma...
I'm at a delivery.
I'll call you later. Okay?
We must protest against this injustice
Sir, your mother.
Ma, I'm at a meeting. Hang up now, I'll call later.
Hello, Ma. I'm driving the auto. Will call later.
Any discomfort here?
Okay.
Hello, Ma. I'll call you later, I'm a bit busy. Okay?
Ma, I'm busy. I'll call you later.
Yes, Ma. I'm a bit busy. I'll call back later.
Ooff, Ma, I'm in class, I'll call you later!
It depends when I'll get the bus. Who's calling now...
Ma... Ma, I'm entering office right now. I'll call later.
We did record-breaking business in online shopping during lockdown.
Ma, I'm in a meeting. I'll call later.
Though the government didn't enlist books among essential products.
But we believe, books aren't for the elite only.
Books are for everyone. But...
people don't go to the book market to buy books anymore.
So, we have to take the books to the readers.
We have 45 book stores all over West Bengal now.
Our next destination is
Haldia. Hmm.
Ma, I told you, I'm in a meeting.
I won't take long.
Ma, I'm at a sales meeting.
Tell them it's your mother calling.
They'll understand. Everyone has a mother...
Just a sec, please.
Make it quick. Madhabi aunt has come visiting.
She has brought 'Malpoas' for you.
You called to tell me this?
Madhabi aunt's granddaughter has made it to Facebook.
Made it to Facebook? Got a job?
She's only seven!
She's performing on Facebook.
Ma, I'm hanging up.
The plans we have for the launch of our Haldia book store...
A grand...
Huh?
Sorry, sir.
I had to take my mother to the ayurvedic doctor.
He's only available in the mornings...
The entire world is talking about 70 hours of work weekly.
We don't even accomplish 50 hours.
Come on, sit. Ma, what is it?
Listen, call a taxi for Madhabi Aunt.
Your taxi... the one you call up and it arrives.
Ma, it's not my taxi. It's Ola!
Same thing. Ola.
We used to called them 'taxi-wala', they call them 'ola' now.
Ma, I'm in a meeting.
One day, I'll drop in at one of your office meetings.
Bye. Don't forget the taxi.
Ma, bye. Hmm.
Umm, sorry, everyone. I have to book... an Ola.
Sure. Two minutes please.
Is your mum okay now?
'My Boss'
The same boring spice-less food!
I'm not eating this every day.
Madam, 100 grams of fish is a must on your diet. Right?
A must, isn't it? But why Bhekti every day!
fishes like Tyangra & Pabda have disappeared?
No salt, no chili...
I'd rather starve.
It's not that bad, Ma. Fine, eat with me.
Laddu, I've been a trained nurse. At a government hospital.
And these new nurses... where did they train from!
You feed me. Otherwise I won't eat.
Okay... Okay! So be it.
Checks blood pressure digitally - thrice daily!
Oximeter and what not!
Disgusting! Wonder where he got them from!
How is it?
If your son feeds you, everything tastes wonderful!
Hmm. I understand.
Hmm. You want me to feed you every day.
Good night.
What happened? Sir, I can't continue.
I can't handle her anymore.
But... what happened?
She tries to bite me! It happens every day!
What! Whenever I try to feed her,
she either threatens me with fork or tries to bite me!
Then don't force her. She will eat what she can.
Okay? Good night.
Good night.
Dad... How did you...
How did you handle Ma?
Hats off to you!
Made you dance to her tune, eh?
Listen, this should stay between the three of us.
Sure! Shh!
I won't tell anyone else.
Okay, may I go now? Yes.
Listen, is it compulsory to make spaghetti after marriage?
Yes, it's compulsory!
Good morning.
It's compulsory to make spaghetti after marriage. Okay?
Ma, you are so talented!
Yet so childish. Why?
Why so childish? As in?
Today's your anniversary isn't it?
I have already texted her.
Do I need to remind you of these things?
Hmm?
Go.
'Stay well...'
I have seen you somewhere
Where have I seen you? Why are you walking towards me?
You seem smitten!
Should I play cupid?
Where have I seen you? Why are you walking towards me?
Your scarf flying in the air A dense blue depth in your eyes
I feel like escaping into a childish fantasy.
Don't tie me to rituals...
Holding your head to my chest
Why'd I sit like that for hours?
As our lips met Words vanished & shuddered
We played along with time
Today, as I face the dusk The evening is about to fall
Why don't you realize though I know you do?
Don't tie me to rituals...
Sit. Let her come.
You haven't slept yet?
Ma, you're awake too?
Haven't you both had dinner? I'm done with mine.
Cut the anniversary cake at least? Come...
Laddu... come.
Have it.
Give her a piece.
Why stay up to give me the guilt trip?
I told you, I'll be late today. I messaged you twice.
Why put me down in front of Ma?
An Executive Producer has to stay until the shoot ends.
But I left early.
Another early call time tomorrow.
We're shooting a long episode.
Phew... my shoulder's giving up...
Put it on me.
Won't you talk to me?
I admit, I made a mistake.
Please...
You want me to punish myself?
Is that so? Fine!
I've to get the phone. Let me go.
Ma...
Yes, Ma?
What! Dad's got respiratory problem attack?
He's choking?
Did you call the doctor?
Yes.
The phone was silent. I'm coming! Don't panic.
I've to go. Shumi, wait, I'll take you.
Ani... You know, this is a regular thing with Dad.
It's the second time in three months. And Ma's panicking.
Go to sleep, I'll return in the morning, okay?
She left alone, at this hour? Her Dad's ill again.
Huh! Her Dad is ill again.
And you're standing here? Come on, go with her!
Dipak babu.
Sir. What about the design?
Nearly done, Sir. I need a bit more time.
Sailen babu? Goog morning, Sir.
What about this year's royalties? Done with the senior writers.
Sir... Sir, one suggestion.
Umm... For the senior writers... Royalty is 15%, okay, sir!
But for the next category, 5% is enough, sir.
We won't pay royalty on sale price, but on discount price.
That means savings! And the new poets who come to out publication.
a break is enough. Why royalty? No royalty! Okay, sir?
When a publisher was selling Bengali version of The Discovery of India,
Prime Minister Nehru... Huh?
Jawaharlal Nehru... claimed royalty when he found out.
Hmm.
Is it so? Hmm.
Payel.
Yes, sir. Seen Jenny's non-fiction ideas?
Yes. Aren't they good?
Very good. Take some tips from her.
She didn't become Employee of the month for no reason.
Of course, sir. Jenny's ideas are here.
And yours are down here.
The diff...
Aditi, late again?
I completed a meeting before coming & still you are late!
Sir, it was a personal issue. Not accepted.
Not accepted!
We're creating a bad precedence in this office because of you!
Disgraceful!
Please don't misunderstand! Calm down.
Aditi, cool down!
I didn't mind at all!
Aditi! Wait!
You know he's like that.
Let it be. Calm down.
What do you want?
You should knock before entering.
How did you get here? by a taxi.
Where is Malati di?
She must be sleeping at home. What is this madness, Ma!
I have a great idea!
From tomorrow... I'll accompany you to the office.
Oh no! Will rid you off your worries.
And me too.
I'll be with you all day, and you'll be with me.
You will be busy with your work all day.
We'll have lunch together.
This can't happen, Ma.
Alright.
I'll go to Madhabi's house.
Come in!
Sorry, sir.
I can't take care of my in laws & be here by 11.
My husband lives in Bangalore. If you want, I can discontinue.
I need you here too. No one can replace you, Aditi.
Why not make up for the missed hours from home?
What they call 'work from home' these days...
Ma.
It's a long-distance marriage, sir.
Husband & wife, both... need to adjust.
It's a long-distance marriage, sir.
Husband & wife, both...
have to adjust'.
To us! Woo-hoo!
Cheers!
Channel Head! Woah!
Yes!
Ani! Yay!
Ani! I have done it, Ani! I have done it!
All India Channel Head at Mumbai!
Ankur... He will report to me! Ankur Tridevi!
Oh my God! I couldn't be happier, Ani! You see, when Shekhar called,
he said, "Moushumi, you are the next Channel Head!
And pack your bags!" Oh, I'm so excited
We need to party! I'm going to get drunk tonight!
I just want to get drunk! Woo!
Ani! Ani?
Ani...
I'll be back.
Ani... Ani, please wait!
Where are you going? Why did you leave?
Are you sure, you're going to Mumbai?
Of course! You are asking, Ani?
My mother? Your parents?
I've planned everythjing.
I'm hiring a flat at Goregaon. My Parents will be with me.
Okay, fine.
Will you take their responsibility? Will you?
Huh? Then handle the three of them!
How many times have you called my Mom or Dad?
Ever asked Mom if her BP is alright? If my Dad is fine...
Have you ever done it?
You know about the pressure at work.
You know how it has been after Covid.
The publishing house is in a shambles. Everyone has work pressure, Ani!
What about me? And don't talk about responsibilities!
And... what about us?
Our marriage?
You know, Shumi. I don't believe in long distance marriages.
Ani!
If there's love, it survives in the same bed,
it survives on streets, in neighbouring houses,
it survives at a distance of 1600 kms too!
Hope there's no Shekhar within 1600 kms?
My success doesn't make you proud, does it?
Reducing it all to some silly gossip!
Ani!
Marriage is all about trust.
Marriage is all about trust, Ani!
The day you understand this, your Shumi will come back to you.
Just leave me!
People are watching. I don't care!
They're watching!
They are watching...
Have you never felt like not holding your breath
When we are the closest to each other...
You are aware how I live in shackles
Maybe this would've been a better life
The way you question things I feel scared
Why don't you realize though I know you do?
Don't tie me to rituals...
Why's she packing the big tiffin box?
For the two of us. I've to eat too, right?
What! What?
That's an office, Ma.
So, what? Clients come there.
People will laugh, Ma. Right. They'll laugh.
Ma... Ma! Ma, it's my office! No one will laugh.
Ma.
Do not call me Laddu at office.
Okay, Laddu sir.
Come.
Come...
Good morning, sir. Good morning.
Good morning, sir. Good morning, ma'am.
Good morning, sir. Good morning. Hello.
I must tell you all. Today, we have with us, my mother
Smt. Shubhra Goswami. She has come to this office before.
But from now onwards she'll come regularly.
Though, she doesn't have a designation...
She will be treated as a trainee,
evaluated, and given a post accordingly.
Any objection?
No, sir. Of course not, sir.
So, then... you all are accepting her, right?
Yes, sir. Sure, sir.
But... let me tell you something, she is extremely friendly.
She'll mingle with you all harmlessly,
she'll probe into your personal life...
She will give you Unwanted advice.
Uh... But be careful.
If you waste time talking to her instead of working,
I will not take it well.
Mrs Shubhra Goswami is just another trainee.
Also remember, if you hurt her in any manner,
I'll not approve of it.
Of course.
Thank you.
All the best. Thank you!
Come. Let's get back to work.
Come on.
I need to show Your cubicle to you.
Wait!
First let me have a good look at the entire office.
Pratik. Accounts Department.
Half an hour late for lunch again.
Can't help it, sir. I eat out, the canteen food is crappy.
Sorry, sir. It's not done, man.
You've maintained the press well. Thank you, sir.
Renew the lease and increase the rent this time.
Okay.
After 3 years of marriage, my mother-in-law tells me:
"What's your job at the print house? Reducing pages?"
I'm a blo*dy Editor!
Her son's work is work, and mine isn't!
If only I could bring her to my office and show...
Sit. Hello.
Did she hear that? Hmm!
This month's sales? Highest in question books.
Non-fiction & religious books are good too.
And Sharadindu, Tarashankar, Sunil are still leading.
Why! Just one big bump picture.
You don't understand.
Sonam, Bipasha, even Alia uploaded one pic every month.
If I post such pictures,my mother-in-law will throw me out.
You're over thinking, come on.
Careful.
How many months?
Four months. Payel, right?
Yes. Payel Adhikari. I coordinate with the writers.
About agreements, royalties, etc.
I'm Sarbani. Sir's assistant.
And you? I'm Aparna. Aparna Dubey.
I look after distribution & marketing.
I'm Jenny. Jamini Biswas.
My father was a huge fan of Manna Dey.
So, I'm Jamini from his song 'Ami jamini, tumi shoshi hey'.
I changed my name to Jenny. If anyone calls me Jamini,
I don't answer.
How's your boss' mood today?
Good.
Sweet.
Sweet? Oh!
We started business in pre-independence era
with anti-British books.
Dad used to say, "No matter what, don't sell question books.
Times have changed, Sailen babu.
Had I not leased out the press, had I not printed question books,
would we survive?
Hmm? No.
Everyone eats at the terrace canteen.
Look at this!
Your hair fell in the food!
I swear on God, it's not mine! Do not lie!
What's going on? Why are you yelling?
Such a long hair in food! I told you it's not mine!
Come here.
Madam, this can't be mine, right? I'm bald!
What is your name? Haru.
Haru. And you? What's your name?
Jagdish. Why are you gasping?
I have a breathing issue.
The doctor said my heart veins have dried up.
Ischaemia...
Jagdish, talk slowly.
Is this what you wear at work? Clients visit the office.
I'll buy you office wear. Okay?
Animesh babu, spellings are ornaments that define language.
So, unless it's well-defined, the picture shatters.
The sculpture that I have created with words,
it shatters into pieces!
Your proofreader makes spelling mistakes every time!
Tilottama di, please calm down. Have a seat.
Please tell me what happened.
Doesn't know the spellings of different homophones!
Uses alphabets as he wishes!
He doesn't know basic grammar!
There are spelling errors.
Ask him to learn the usage of consonants & vowels!
A basic tip!
If I find such grave mistakes in the final proof,
I'll go for a different publisher.
Bad day?
Bad day, Ma.
My proofreader...
has a BA (Hons) in Bengali.
A first class.
Did great at MA.
What can I do?
Everyone makes spelling mistakes.
Happened in our line of work too. The doctor wrote the prescription.
Not all doctors have the perfect handwriting.
Tapati was a new nurse.
The pharmacy caught the mistake.
Dr Bakshi was furious! I calmed him down somehow!
Sir.
Is this how you proofread a manuscript?
Cheated your way through exams?
Sir, I did check them.
By mistake...
Go!
Sorry, sir.
Go!
Sit.
Is this how you behave, Laddu?
Listen.
I have an idea.
I'll check the manuscripts with him.
To double check them.
You need to find the trainee a job, right?
You can enlarge the fonts.
I'll do it.
Oh! Done.
Won't you have lunch?
Where is Animesh? He'll eat too.
Yes, sir is in a meeting. He has his lunch in the cabin.
I can do one thing, should I send your lunch over here?
Where do you all eat?
At the terrace canteen.
Fine, I'll eat there with you.
I'm just a trainee.
Okay!
As you wish. Come. Let's go.
Come. Gossipmonger!
Did you say something?
No. Come...
Don't set it up already.
Let Ma come.
She is having her lunch on the roof, with the staff.
What! Yes.
Ever had carambola pickle?
No. carambola, jujube, and...
elephant apple pickle! And wild olive pickle, burnt mango...
Yes! I'm booking you.
Lemon pickle for first week. Lemon pickle? Okay.
Me too! But I'll have carambola. Oh my!
Ma! Ma...
I'm waiting for you downstairs. Won't you eat there?
But I came to eat with them.
Kanu, bring my lunch upstairs. Okay.
Do you mind if I here lunch with you here daily?
Okay, sir! Okay! Not at all, sir!
Wow! That's great, sir!
I can't take it anymore.
True My mother-in-law won't let me work!
"It'll harm the baby!" How can I live without work?
Don't pay heed to... Have you seen Ma?
Ma... Sir, she was right here.
I'll take you to my village. Is it?
Kanu... Yes, sir?
Have you seen Ma? Ma? She's in the store room.
Discovered my hideout!
Huh?
I feel a bit sleepy in the afternoons.
I'm ageing now.
Will you sack me?
"Get out"?
Right?
I will arrange for a sofa in my room, for you.
What will the others think? If you care so much...
put a small pillow for me over here.
And give me an official permission for my afternoon nap.
Tea.
Give me.
Ma, Uncle couldn't understand anything on this list.
I knew Jagdish wouldn't get it.
See you, Ma. I've to do it.
Ma, who is Jagdish? And oregano, thyme, what's all this?
Western spices.
Brinjal bharta with onions... and that weird noodle recipe...
These won't do. We need a change.
Like momos, pizzas... We've to serve such things. Then it'll work.
And your head cook... His name is Jagdish.
It's my office...
Yet, I don't know.
There's a lot you don't know, Laddu.
Something new...
Opportunities, like clouds come hovering in the sky
When it doesn't cost you take the plunge.
At first things may not be to your liking
Ram is picking flowers, wearing a red shawl...
And a... What's in his hand?
A flower basket in his hand. Flower basket!
Ram is picking flowers, wearing a red shawl...
A flower basket in his hand!
Life is not easy when the ball starts rolling
A thousand ideas bustling in our minds!
Yesterday's dream, today's reality A new path, a vow to change
The new sun will change things Time for change, a positive
Aim big, you'll succeed Paint your dreams real.
Is your family from Kolkata?
No, my mother is a Bengali.
Dad's from Kanpur.
Both perform Rabindra Sangeet and travel the world.
I've been raised by Granny.
Dad came to Shantiniketan from Kanpur to study dance.
And that's where he met Ma.
My mother's name is Chandrani.
You mean 'Piyush-Chandrani'?
You are Piyush & Chandrani's daughter?
They are renowned dancers!
Yes. But... I am neither a dancer nor a singer.
A big failure to them.
Well, I have a question. Go on.
Doesn't sir laugh? Huh?
I mean an uninhibited laughter...
Never seen him laughing, always so serious!
Why are you blocking my divorce?
Why didn't you sign the paper?
You won't take my calls,
nor reply to my texts, disconnecting calls, why!
This is what brought you here from Mumbai?
Sarbani's father is a divorce lawyer.
Her brother's studying at Stanford.
And her mom writes the longest posts on social media.
Social activist. Oh!
Yet, she keeps finding new suitors so that her girl can settle abroad!
Every time they fight on the topic of marriage,
the next day she comes to work with a long face, you'll see.
But Sarbani put her foot down.
She will marry someone of her own choice only!
Hmm!
I was at New York during Ma's bypass surgery.
I called you so many times.
Messaged you.
You never called back.
I couldn't leave Dad there & return at his last stage of cancer.
Not being here for Ma's surgery.
It eats me up from within.
I tell everyone...
Despite our differences,my mother-in-law always supported me
How's 'Mashi'? Pulling through.
Seeing Dad suffer like that...
Come back, Sumi...
For what?
It'll be the same, Ani. You won't take any responsibility.
I've to take care of my parents and your mother.
I thought distance doesn't matter. But now I say, it does.
especially in a marriage.
Shekhar helped me a lot in Mumbai.
I can't give you a divorce, Sumi.
Shekhar has to wait a bit more.
Ma!
Oh!
When did you come to Kolkata? Why didn't you come home?
Where are you staying? Didn't your parents come with you?
You and your unending list of questions!
First, tell me how you've been. How do I look?
I work here now, in this office. I get a salary too. Proofreader.
Wow! Wonderful, Ma! Fantastic!
You always said, every woman must be independent.
Ma... Miss you, Ma.
I don't miss you.
I know...
you are with me.
Your design?
Yes, sir.
Subrata Chowdhury. Illustrator.
In 3 days... In fact in 2.5 days,
he designed three novels of Shirshendu da.
And you took one whole month to design one novel.
Sir, he is Subrata Chowdhury!
And I am Dipak... Hazra. Right.
Dipak...
There are three kinds of people in this world. Genius.
Donkey.
Average. Dipak, you are average.
Admit it that you are average.
Due to your average performance, my company is performing averagely.
Say you're average.
Average. Say it again?
Average!
Go.
'Hey, hey, hadn't you mistaken white for red?
And I heard, you snore horribly in bed!
And your cats...
I hear, they are quite awful.
Why, you stupid bloke!
You're in for a beating!
How dare you speak like that! You too are in for a thrash!
If you ever stare me down, bully me or yell at me
You see, I don't give a damn
Because, I'm a strong man!'
You're jumping again! Again!
Aha? Ah!
Let's step out for a bit. Come.
The guy who was roll no. 1 in your class, in touch with him?
Hmm.
He scored the 7th rank in School Finals.
Ashish Ghosh. He is in America now. I see. And that... Shubhasish?
Ranked 12th in School Finals, he's in Germany now.
And that lanky one... What's his name?
Dipankar. Dipankar.
Became an IAS. Now lives in Delhi. Why?
And you joined your Dad's business.
Why? Because you like book publishing. Right?
Had you ranked high in School Final, Laddu...
You'd have flown away too!
Flown away! What do you mean?
How much salary do you pay?
Why? A Bengali publishing house...
The salary it pays...
can't afford a genius.
geniuses are no longer in this city.
We are all very average.
It's not our fault. We've been turned into average people.
There's no bravery in calling an average guy, average.
That makes you an average leader too.
Putting Dipak down...
won't get you the best out of him.
When he makes a good design,
have you ever shown his good designs to anyone at office?
Have you praised it?
Applaud an average employee one day.
He will give his heart & soul.
Come.
Watch it.
Ma.
Ma, you see those steamer boats, the launch boats?
They compete too.
To go faster in order to make more trips.
The buses on the street... They too compete among themselves.
A bus owner, a company's CEO, a bank manager,
everyone wants to win this fight.
An average employee hinders it, Ma.
You called me an average leader, Ma?
I have my problems too.
I have to arrange for my employees' salaries every month!
There's no place for the average lot in this world. I feel scared, Ma...
Your Laddu...
and Animesh in the office are two different people, Ma.
Don't come to the office.
If you come, it will lead to a clash among us.
Come here.
Today, this evening, there is no clash between us.
Hmm? No clash at all.
Look at the beautiful sunset!
Mr Unnikrishnan
Someone's calling you, sir. Who?
Where is Mr Unnikrishnan!
Yes, sir?
Yes... You! Yes, sir.
Excuse me...
Yes, sir?
What are you doing! Sir! Hey!
Sir, please stop!
Sir, sir, please! What's going on?
Pratik, please help!
What are you doing, Mr Sushanta! What are you doing, sir!
No royalty... for poets?
Sorry, sir! Sorry!
You heartless demon! Very sorry, sir! Very sorry!
Starving writers & poets to death!?
Bugger! You have any idea what Shakti Chattopadhyay did?
No, sir!
You don't? No, sir! Sir, I am poor man, sir!
He urinated at the publishing office!
Sir, poor man, sir! Shakti Chatterjee urinated!
Sorry, sir! And I'll urinate on your face!
No way!
Not here, sir!
You are like my father, sir!
No susu, sir! Father? Hell with your father!
I beg of you, sir! No royalty for poets!?
Oh Lord! Help!
Think of the ladies around! Hey! Stop!
No! Please! No!
Please, sir... Mr Sushanta, calm down.
My respected sisters...
Kindly walk away from here.
Yes, go away.
Now, I shall urinate in the face of this heartless monster!
He dares to insult the authors and poets!
Security!
No susu, sir! My mother will cry.
At Jaipur Literary Festival
Rungta invited you warmly.
Why didn't you go?
The office will be closed.
You're taking too much stress, Ma.
Everyone is getting your love, barring me.
Hmm. Barring you. Hmm.
But everyone needs love.
Do you know... Biman has an autistic child?
Have you ever asked what wrong with his child?
Ever called the doctor?
You just want your employees to work for you?
Don't you need to understand them?
Enough. Now give me some love too.
Laddu sleeps, the night has fallen The bargis have come down
The birds ate up all the yield How will we pay the tax?
I've decided that we'll do Saraswati Puja at office this year.
Huh?
Auntie, uhh,
we don't celebrate Saraswati Puja as it clashes with the annual book fair.
On Bengali New Year day, all the authors come over.
I know.
Fund?
We will all pool in.
Everyone's family must attend it.
Your families should know where you all work,
what your office looks like...
Bring your parents to your workplace?
That's right.
Aparna. Hmm?
Would your mother be interested in performing?
I cannot say. Why?
Okay, you'll perform!
You have to! You must!
But Ma! What if sir finds out?
What's my son doing...
Is this occupied?
No, sir.
Please give my food here.
Yes, sir. Sit.
Give Biman a plate too. Sure, sir.
The boss offered him a plate?
it means he is about to lose his job.
Thank you.
Sir?
Is it my last day today? Are you sacking me?
Begin.
I didn't know your son has autistic spectrum disorder.
A good friend of mine, Nandini... She deals with such kids.
When did you first realize?
Didn't notice anything wrong in the first 24 months, sir.
But gradually, he'd forget whatever he was taught.
He'd mindlessly stare at the water for hours...
We got him treated at several places, but it didn't help.
Eat.
If the boss offers you a plate, it means you get a promotion!
Eat, go on.
When you reach...
give me a call. Travel safely.
No.
Doesn't feel right, Ma.
I asked you to go to Jaipur with me, you refused.
And here you are, telling me to go safely, call when I reach...
Nope... Something's not right!
You are planning something. Bless you.
Of course I'm planning.
It's a grand plan!
I am going to celebrate Saraswati Puja in a big way, this year.
I've asked everybody to come.
I told Madhabi, Buchan, Atashi...
Ma.
Go safely, come back soon.
Sure, you take care. Okay.
I'll call you.
How many conversations would be needed
to explain to you.
How many conversations would be needed
to explain to you.
Although I hesitate I wish to touch the moonlight
How do I stop what has already begun?
Does that mean that my eyelashes are filled with colours?
The spring is calling me today...
Goddess Saraswati, with lotus-shaped eyes
Oh Goddess, who represents the world Goddess of wisdom, salutation
Goddess Saraswati, with lotus-shaped eyes
Oh Goddess, who represents the world Goddess of wisdom, salutation
Lady with the beauty of the moon Dance free
Girl, dance your heart out
Lady with the beauty of the moon Dance free.
Look, new leaves have sprouted on dried branches
Reminding us of old memories once lost in the fairground
This weary life is blooming with new flora
All its thorns, limitations have moved away
Although I hesitateI I wish to touch moonlight
How I stop what has already begun?
Does that mean that my eyelids are filled with colours?
The spring is calling me today...
Goddess Saraswati, with lotus-shaped eyes
Oh Goddess who represents the world Goddess of wisdom, salutation.
Goddess Saraswati, with lotus-shaped eyes
Oh Goddess who represents the world Goddess of wisdom, salutation.
Barin, what's an editor's job? I mean the work you do.
Sir, to delete unnecessary words.
I mean, to organize & deliver a precise piece to the readers.
Yet your own life's disorganized!
You're marked late every day, excuses after excuse.
My office isn't a government concern. You have thirty days.
Find a new job.
Sir! Sir, please don't do this!
In West Bengal, a BA in English is rare but many have a BA in Bengali.
They'll come to my office instead of sitting at Shahid Minar.
Sir, give me a last chance please. It won't happen again.
Go, Barin.
Sir told me not to come to office anymore.
I'm getting late every day.
You know, Ma... I have no memories of my mom.
I was raised by my father.
Dad didn't remarry.
My Uncles had insisted, I hear even my Grandma did...
But he refused.
He thought, if the new wife refused the responsibility?
He had a cardiac arrest one and a half years ago.
He came home without getting the angioplasty done.
It's risky, Ma!
Before coming to office,
I cook, I bathe Dad, I feed him and then I come.
All day, I've to remind him to take his medicines.
Why didn't you marry?
None of my girlfriends lasted.
No girl would agree to marry a bachelor with a bedridden father or mother...
How long's the notice period?
Thirty days. Fine.
No, Ma. I've to find a job.
Focus on work for next thirty days, then we'll see.
Hmm?
Coffee? Hmm?
Hmm. Black.
I know. Thank you.
You seem to be aiming at employee of the month!
Unlike jamini & you, I don't believe in such things.
Feels like a silly competition among school kids!
Why are you always so angry? Careful, it's hot.
Why? Does the corporate world disapprove of that too?
Where is your father now?
Umm, I asked him to stay with my Uncle this month.
Is the coffee alright? Hmm. I needed it.
It was evident from your face.
What about your own book of poetry?
Need to write four more verses. Ah, like Shakti Chattopadhyay
you call it 'verses' too, not poems.
'O Delightful, I find no end to you'
You know, this song's notation wasn't by Rabindranth, it's Dinu Tagore.
O Delightful, I find no end to you
Time reaches its end Time reaches its end
All over the world the feeling of joy lingers
All over the world
The feeling of joy lingers
O Delightful, I find no end to you
At the day's end The sun shines on the evening cloud
At the day's end
The sun shines on the evening cloud
My heart is humming
It keeps humming
Lost in thought
Of the far, unknown
O Delightful, I find no end to you
O Delightful, I find...
no end to you...
See.He's cutting costs in every area.
Our store room floor.
Sir is going to rent it out.
I know. The decision is made.
Can you prepare a proposal for me?
Yes, sure!
Can I take Sarbani madam's help? Of course.
Okay. But...
no one else should know. Oh, no way!
Alright.
Once She made me run to New Market to bring her rainbow ice cream!
Oh my! The one with syrup on it!
She said "Don't give anyone!" But later she shared it with her cousins.
When giving it to me, she said, "Have the ice cream,
but the cherry is mine!"
Everyone thought I'll never let my daughter marry.
Even I told her mother, "I don't like anyone for her."
Animesh...
I'm giving my heart to you.
Take care of her.
What do I do?
I think... you should go.
If you go to shumi now...
Ma if she'd wanted me, she'd have called.
Sumi has many others with her now.
What is this!
What's that word... 'ego'!
Full of ego! Well, indulge in it.
Sarbani? See if you can book me a flight to Mumbai tonight,
or in the morning.
Ma, where's my blue jeans?
I send it for a wash. It was too dirty.
You can't wash it already! I just wore it for 3 hours!
How many times have I told you... It was dirty.
You'll fall sick.
I'll go mad.
My briefs & socks?
Sent them for a wash too?
Here! Take your briefs! And here are your socks!
And your filthy pair of jeans! Ma!
Just tell me when you'll return.
Actually, I was supposed to go to Dubai.
Now, I'm go to Mumbai for a week.
I'll be away for a while, Ma.
Be safe.
I'm fortunate, that I can accompany my son's to his office.
That I can work here.
Many of you who work here...
Your parents, in-laws... are unaware of what you do.
I see you all worrying all the time, calling them up,
to remind them to take their medicine or to eat...
So, I have thought of a plan.
We will open up a parents' day care in our office.
Nice.
Like a children' creche. Great idea!
Sarbani.
Where our parents, who depend upon us can stay without worrying.
What are we providing? Nurses, medical support, emergency doctors...
Ambulance. Ambulance. Everything!
For entertainment: Television, music system,
tea, coffee, snacks to their liking... lunch!
We get to eat lunch with our parents, something we really miss.
Where will we set this up? Our store room downstairs.
We will convert that. Sailen sir is helping with it.
And this will be at no cost.
Huh? No!
The office will take care of it. Right, Unnikrishnan?
We'll take the project to the bank later.
But, before that we've to create a model to show them
that this is really possible.
A new horizon begins from here.
Another thing, Jenny will share a form with everyone.
It has all the details. Ma.
Thank you, Ma.
Oh my, got to inform sir!
Of course, you will.
Oh Lord! Oh Lord!
Oh! Take the call!
Not getting through? No!
Who do you mean? Sir... Can't get him on phone?
Message him, he'll ring back.
Uhh... What are you saying, Sailen babu!
I will complain to Boss against Boss' mother?
Just a minute.
Hello, sir! Not now, Mr Krishnan!
Will talk about royal slab when I return.
Sir... Sir! Hello!
Oh Lord!
Mousumi, some people have come from office.
Over there. Shekhar... My husband, Animesh.
Oh, hello. I wish we had met under better circumstances.
Uh, Shekhar, take Ani to Ma. I'll go, talk to the priest.
Sure. Come.
Make it spicier! Add coriander!
Ma, sir is calling. Give me more stuffing.
Hello.
I'm in a meeting. Will talk later.
Ma!
Bless you.
You see... he was quite lonely here.
He didn't have anyone to talk to.
Sumi would be gone all day.
Many people take Rapidos. A single person's expense.
If you include the family, the expense is four times.
Hmm. That way, no one will come.
We will start a bus service!
Hmm, the bus should have special wheelchair facility!
Of course. More water.
Me too. More tamarind water.
How is your mother doing?
I'll just try to get her.
Come, sir.
Ma, sir is calling again.
Hello, Ma...
What's with you? Told you, I'm in a meeting.
You all could lose your jobs for supporting me.
Your Boss will get angry. Ma, it can be the opposite!
Right? Yes! Quite possible!
Let's start up! Start up!
Let's start up!
You fail & learn No entry, no exit
The scene will change We still strive for it
A system reboot is what this business start-up needs
From the seed to IPO, I'm the CEO
Our portfolios are heavy on ideas!
Focus like a great marksman
If you still miss, go for a system reboot!
Oh my!
What have you done, Shubhra di!
Our rivals shy away Let's go for the start-up!
Starting from the scratch
There is no end to growing
I remember our old days at the hospital...
Our old team!
We can live our dreams!
Life is not easy
when the ball starts rolling
Our minds are bustling
with thousands of new ideas!
Let's start up! Start up!
'Asroy' (Shelter)
Let's start up! Start up!
Let's start up!
Let's start up one more start up!
Here, press this.
Say the message for your son.
Son, when will you come for lunch?
Pull in.
Son, when will you come for lunch?
Wow, you look gorgeous!
Aha! Gorgeous!
You don't have to tell me. I know!
Incorrigible lot!
Hardly seen anyone enjoy life the way Dad did.
He was never able to accept our separation.
Dad would say, he wanted a son like you.
I don't know what he saw in you.
Sumi?
I haven't been an obstacle in your life.
I never stopped you.
You fulfilled your dream. Achieved it all.
Please rethink...
if we can start anew?
One last time.
By now, you must realize
I will never divorce you.
How long will you stay here?
I was supposed to go to Dubai from here.
Oh!
So, you didn't come here for me?
Ani...
What if I ask you stay with me here for a month?
Can you?
I can.
If I stay for a month, can you start a new life with me, Sumi?
Can you... Sumi?
Today, as I face the dusk The evening is about to fall
Why don't you realize though I know you do?
Why don't you realize even if you do?
Don't tie me to rituals
Sorry, Ma, I...
It's not wrong to sleep during this time.
Good morning, sir! Welcome back, sir!
I rang... rang you, sir, I messaged you, sir.
Sir, just come & see what happened!
You don't have cushion support. I'll bring you one tomorrow.
Walk slowly.
Hello, hello, everybody!
Here is our Boss.
Boss! Mr Animesh Goswami!
Hey, listen.
Animesh, listen to me.
Here's your damn stick! Listen.
They told me to bend this stick. Like this & like that! On & on!
My hand's paining! I feel like my arm will fall off!
Scold him, will you!
Hey...
What a weird man!
Heartfelt blessings for you, we didn't land up at an old age home.
The more active you stay, the healthier the baby will be.
I must see you working until the eighth month.
Ma, sir has returned!
When I used to work at Jessop,
my son would often insist on coming to work with me.
I would take him along.
He'd be running around the office, playing all day.
There was a wide veranda in my office.
With a nice view of river Ganga.
During lunch time, we would have lunch together.
He used to carry his books and finish his homework there.
Today, years later, I feel like those days are back...
You see, back then, I held my son's hand & took him to my office.
Now, my son brings me to his office.
The circle is complete,son.
How could you!
Sir, I tried to call...
Is this a joke, Sarbani?
Sailen babu?
Tell me, ever heard of a publishing company opening a day care?!
Has any corporate company opened a creche for the parents?
I went to Dubai,
closed a deal with a huge, international sports company,
they are to open their biggest store at our floor below!
You made a creche out of it!?
Huh?
Um, shut it down. You've to close it.
Sir, we have the media coming tomorrow morning.
Without informing me? It'll be a big face loss, sir.
Yes. How many members do you have?
Seven, sir.
A creche for mere seven people?
Huh? Mr Sailen?
Yes? How will you return the money?
How much is that floor's rent?
Look, the project is unique.
Bank funding, corporate funding, we'll try that.
And an initial investment is a must, so...
And for corporate funding, we need a role model, sir.
Exactly.
In our project report...
your building's rent is included.
The entire staff working on this...
We included extra pay for them too.
You'll get your money back.
Fair enough.
We will run this day care for three months.
We will run the creche. If it doesn't work, we shut it down.
For three months
this company will bear with my mother's whim.
So, Ma... uh...
will the day care of yours have place for the other staff too?
Haru's mother...
Will Jenny's Grandma, Barin's father agree to share with her?
Don't become a bourgeois...
Of course, they will!
But do you know,
in communities where Haru & kanu live,
families and neighbours still stay together.
Their parents don't require old age home.
Let your loving touch always be with me
It fulfills my life
I can't let you out of sight
I can't let go of your hand
You once told me
It's tough to be a grown up
Whatever I have is all yours
I am impossible without you
I am there, I am there Beside you
All the time
I am there, I am there Beside you
Throughout life
Don't worry, Dad Don't worry, Ma
Oh God! I cannot wait anymore!
Tall old man! What took you so long in the loo?
What can one do in the loo? Well, a lot of things!
I want to know what you were doing! Go, or you might...
You'll tell me what to do? Okay, I'm going back in.
Go & stay inside all day. I'll lock you up!
And what about the others who have to wait for hours!
Are they supposed look at plants? No point talking to you!
Go!
Ill-mannered, unruly man!
Dipak babu... Dipak babu!
Sir?
I didn't get the Haldia book store opening day design on time.
What reason did you give for it? I went to the doctor with Ma.
Good. You submitted Pracheta da's book's cover late too.
The reason? My maid was on leave. Ma...
I can't hear you.
My maid... Louder?
My maid... Louder!
My maid was on leave. My mother was sick, alone at home. So...
My sponsor backed out because of you.
I had to delay my launch date.
Now, suppose I say I can't pay you because my mother is ill.
I won't be able to pay any of you because my mom is ill!
What then?
Dipak babu. Sir.
Your mother is staying at the creche now, right?
How will you play the sick mom sympathy card?
Sir...
How will you play the sympathy card?!
Son. Ma!
You... What are you doing here?
Ronju brought prasad from Puri, I came to give it to you.
Okay.
He insults you so much... I cannot take it.
It's alright, Ma. Even you used to scold me as a kid.
Sir is a good man. It's I who fails to manage my time well.
Besides, since lockdown... we are going through a tough time.
Sir is under a lot of pressure.
He was insulting you... It was breaking my heart!
Your head was hanging low... Oh, Ma...
Come, let's go.
Don't move your hand, Uncle. I'm not moving it.
You're ruining my reading.
Here, hold it.
Wait...
The challenge is to take the books to the youth.
Saranjit, the reading habit is gone.
Hmm. No. I don't think so.
Books aren't read on print anymore. Social media,
online downloads are there too. So, we don't have actual data.
You can even listen to books now. Hmm.
I have an idea. Ma, not another creche please.
What!
Go on.
Say it. Sorry.
Of course we must plan something for the youth.
But the genuine book lovers...
They who realize their eyesight is failing,
they worry that soon they won't even be able to turn the page...
Suppose we take old classics, popular stories, novels...
Make them like a drama... Audio story, Aunt?
Right. That's a great idea!
Hmm. Animesh! Where are you!?
Where is he sitting? Animesh... There you are! Sitting quietly?
Get up!
Oh no... What are you doing!
People are going nuts downstairs! Just one loo for so many!
Didn't you think of it? Are you dim?
What rubbish!
And that lanky old man! He won't leave the toilet!
Takes at least an hour when he goes in! Well, then make him sign for it!
Has he any sense at all?
One nearly has to drag him out! Taking an hour every time!
What is this! Make 2 to 3 loos in that case!
Okay. Or should we use your garden?
Impossible! Jenny, please escort her...
Yes, Aunt, please... Wait, let me talk about the loo.
We want 2 loos downstairs. Two, okay.
Get this clear. One for the gents. One for the females.
Two. One for females, one for gents.
Will you remember? Sure!
Or else I'll keep sabotaging your meetings.
Okay, let's downstairs. No! Always shutting me up!
How will he learn if we don't speak up?
Let me take you. Don't forget about the ladies' toilet.
Okay. He won't forget.
Sorry, extremely sorry.
Two toilets.
Your project is neither completely educational, nor healthcare-based.
Arranging for the funding... will be very difficult.
Hmm. Four.
Five. How are you, 'amma'?
Mr Foot in the grave!
haven't you heard that I need two pillows?
I can't sleep with just one. One for my head, one for the legs.
We can only provide you with one. Why so?
Okay, okay. I won't hear anything.
I know you very well! Get me two pillows by today.
Okay, one in head & one in leg. One in head...
Talking nonsense!
Hello!
Sir!
'Haradhon's seven sons went for a swim
One drowned, so now there were...
six!
Haradhon's six sons, climbed up a tree
One slipped and fell, so now there were...
five. Five!'
Out of your seven creche members two have backed out
Retired hurt.
It's just been seven days.
You provided all the facilities, Ma.
Then why won't they come? Why?
Habit, Ma. Habit!
They don't take care of their parents at home...
they'll bring them to the creche?
What about their lies? Those excuses?
Bunking office for a movie... Lying to the Boss...
You cannot change their habit, Ma.
In 2013-2014, educational books were leading our market.
And now in 2023, our market is led by fantasy & non-fiction.
We have very good ideas for non-fiction books.
For example sari borders, alpana, pickles.
Fantastic, Jenny. Sir, credit goes to Payel.
No, sir. The credit goes to Ma.
And the whole team.
I think this book cover is extremely unique.
It's very nice. Dipak da's design.
Oh, wow! Made with sari borders.
Sir...
Sir, collector's item.
Great eh? Absolutely!
Good job, Dipak babu. Thank you, sir.
Congrats.
Have you seen Bablu?
Bablu... I don't know where my diapers are kept...
I have to change them. Bablu?
Come, Uncle. Sit. I'll find them for you.
No, you can't find them. Bablu kept them, only he knows.
Take him away. Sure, Ma.
Kanu. Yes?
Please take Uncle with you. Who's this Bablu in our office?
Take him to Bablu. Yes, Uncle, come.
If you see Bablu, do tell him.
Sure, Uncle.
Ma!
Now I'll have to find out who Bablu is in this office!
Mustn't I?
Bablu!
Careful.
You'll be alright.
You can't get this treatment at home.
Is it fine?
How can I not be fine? You are literally hitting me!
Okay...
Bablu!
Sir! Sit.
You're eating alone? Where's your Dad?
You're supposed to have lunch together, and the homework...
Sir, Dad cannot come every day.
He can come on 2 to 3 days.
'Haradhon had five sons
They went to the jungle
One was eaten up by a tiger
And so now remained... four!'
Barin, so what if your Dad's not here, I'll have lunch with you.
You'll feel good.
Bring me my lunch here. Yes, sir.
Eat!
Uhh, look...
Flood, Covid, education of underprivileged kids,
the company invests in these.
It gets us publicity, enhances our image.
Why would we invest in this? Come.
I've worked in corporate world for years, never heard of such a thing!
They just want the money.
They'll deduct it from your salary at the end of the year.
Aditi, no company thinks about their employees.
But Ma & Dad would've liked it there.
Don't you like staying home? What if you fall ill there?
What then? But they have all the support.
Dad, it's an experimental project. Let it start, then we'll see.
Okay.
Suppose I give you a loan.
How will you return it?
Hmm?
You'll just...
...deduct it from the monthly salaries of employees.
Will they agree?
And tell me this.
How many would invest in senior citizen daycare...
As I was saying,
how many companies will invest in senior citizen daycare as their CSR?
Then office areas would already have a daycare unit.
Emotion & business
are not the same thing, madam.
Sorry, I must take this call.
Yes, Ma?
What!
Can't find your Pressure tablets?
They were on the table.
Why do you keep forgetting? Wait, I'll make a video call.
What hassles...
One minute, please.
Yes.
Yes, I can see you.
Not to the left, to your right. Yes, go towards the table.
Between the books...
There it is.
Can't you remember such a simple thing, Ma?
Bye.
Did your mother get her medicine?
She stays alone at home?
Business can't happen without emotions, son.
It's not possible.
Now bend your knee. This one too.
How am I supposed bend both?
Now, lift your lower back.
I can't. Just once, please.
You need this, please do it. There you go.
Straighten your leg. No, I'll do it, you can go.
I don't like this.
Sir... sir...
All the banks have rejected. Feeling very bad, sir.
Sir.
Don't visit banks without my permission.
Right, sir.
Enough!
Ma... just accept it, no one will give you a loan.
No one will put money in this project.
Hmm. As far as I know,
your father left 25% of this company's ownership
to me.
So, whatever I have spent, it's well within my rights.
My time is not over, Ani.
Still seven days to go before the three months end.
Ani, what is the full form of CSR?
Corporate Social Responsibility.
So, you agree that every corporate has a social responsibility?
How many kinds of CSR are there?
Environmental, ethical, human rights, philanthropic,
and economic. Hmm.
So, psychological well-being, social, and economic well-being...
A corporate has these responsibilities too?
You wish to call yourself a corporate.
You've build yourself quite a corporate office.
You talk about 70 hours of work...
Shouldn't you think about your employees then?
You said that day...
No senior citizen day cares in Sector 5 offices.
No one does it. but they should.
Let a few companies come forward & share the expenses.
Uff! Ma!
The children won't allow it, that is why your project is not succeeding.
Which is why your project is failing!
Ma... parents are nothing but a baggage to their children.
They don't want this baggage, come on!
Come on...
I... we...
We are baggage now... Parents are baggage, isn't it?
Ma, please!
You're right.
Ma...
Ma?
Accept the truth, Ma.
You had this dream.
It will never come true, Ma.
Sir.
Ma...
Wait.
Ma is unwell.
You shouldn't have been rude to her. Should've thought about it earlier.
All of you.
We still have time.
Want some water?
Someone needs to say the truth, point out the harsh reality to her!
I have to be the one.
Hey!
Just see what she did!
She pushes me and now she is...!
Since Moner FM shut down, there are no Bengali radio dramas.
Please come there.
No need to stay at the daycare, tell your son, no money is needed.
You will be happy there, trust me, I promise!
And you'll make some money too. Will you come? Please?
Hello. Yes, hello.
Hmm, hello. This is Tirthankar Chandra.
'A letter was sent to Pathan Keshar Khan
By the Queen of King Bhunak from Ketun
"Are you done fighting, mister?
The spring is passing meanwhile
Why don't you bring your Pathan army along?
Come, play Holi with us, Rajput women!" '
Lovely.
This is your last week.
Because officially, after this week the creche closes down.
But, Aditi, we will definitely keep this audio program.
Ma!
Who else refused to come today?
Ma! The All India Start Up Summit is happening in Kolkata day after.

You have to do it! Yes, you must!
You have to do it! You can do it, Ma.
'Lord, give my mind the holy wisdom
Give me new hope in my heart
So that, all over this world In every form possible
I am able to spread love!'
Ani, you know whose poem this is?
Jogindranath Sarkar.

India.
Yes, it's young.
Truly, young.
Really, young.
Surely you'd agree, just like India is the nation of the youth,
with a nascent heart...
this nation is ours too!
People say,
unless the roots are strong, the tree doesn't grow.
In my city,
there are 11.9% people... like me.
All over India,
the number is gradually rising.
We don't want old age homes to become their only shelter.
My son is sitting among you all.
I am an employee at my son's office.
A senior employee.
So many corporate officials are present here.
I just have one question for them.
When you are at office,
or at a seminar like this,
right at that time,
if an aged loved one back at home
faces a problem, a cardiac arrest or some other crisis...
What will you do?
And what if it happens at the home of one of your employees?
A home where there is no one to do crisis management!
Yes, hello? Hello, Sarbani!
Barin's Dad suffered a heart attack!
What!
But if...
But Ma is...
had a daycare centre each?
If there was a senior citizen creche...
Yes, we're coming. Yes.
If there was an 'Ashray'...
Yes, wait. Then, maybe...
Ma, Barin's Dad suffered an attack. Huh! What!
Hello!
Excuse me, we're really sorry, I apologize.
Ma, you have to come. I'll be right there.
This is to let you know, we're facing an emergency.
Kindly excuse us.
We're very sorry.
Come, watch your step. What happened?
I need to go, it's urgent. I apologize.
Bad luck.
So, I lose... Um, Sarbani, keep this.
Mr Sailen, go with Ma. Aparna, stay here.
Hello, everybody. I am Animesh Goswami.
CEO of Goswami & Sons company.
Today, I'll speak on behalf of my mother.
I''ll speak about her dream.
My mother has opened a senior citizen's daycare at my company.
And there, one of our employees father has suffered a cardiac arrest.
That's where my mother is going.
The team is there, medical support is there.
I pray to God for his recovery.
Yes, Payel.
Has the CPR started? Uh... Wait a minute!
-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9--
Yes, the CPR has begun!
Is he responding? 18-19-20--
Not yet.
You see... I didn't have any faith in my mother's start up.
Not one bit. I thought...
the start up is absurd.
It's not possible. Why'd people believe? Tell me?
Why'd they be interested?
But the more I disapproved it,
the more my heart approved of it.
This creche. This senior citizen's daycare.
It's not just meant for those who work in the corporate sector.
It's for teachers,
for lawyers,
doctors, all kinds of employees, the busiest people of the city...
So that they can keep their loved ones close to them.
That is why we need this 'Ashray'.
We need this daycare.
Please move aside, make way.
Nurse, put the Ambu bag immediately!
I am with my mother all day.
We have lunch together. Then, we return home together.
Sometimes, we even go to restaurants together.
My mother is well now.
The doctor had told me...
my mother needed... a medicine, a rare medicine.
I asked the doctor, what the medicine was called.
He said, the name of that medicine is
Animesh.
Someone's medicine's name is Barin.
Someone's is, Aditi.
Someone's is, Dipak.
Now, I believe in this.
I feel a lot less stressed, you see.
Because... my mother...
is with me.
We'll shift him to the hospital immediately.
It was a cardiac arrest, we've revived him.
But he definitely has an issue,
so we'll hospitalize him as early as possible.
He's awake. Yes...
Just to inform you...
My employee's father is alright now.
He has survived.
And...
you know what the doctor told him?
Bablu! Bablu! I'm right here, Dad!
He got saved because he was at the daycare.
He wouldn't have lived had he been at home.
His son says he lives alone at home. Hey, hurry up!
Ma... I will go with them.
Sure, go!
I'll come too, wait...
The second runner-up of this year goes to Choose 11
from Bangalore! Yay!

Yes, thank you!

Please put your hands together for Mr Venkat!
Let's go. Please don't go sir, just...
Thank you, sir! Thank you so much, sir!
Sir, please stay for a bit...
Hello?
Barin's Dad has reached the hospital, sir.
Everything is alright. And there's a special announcement.
How's Ma? She's okay, sir.
All the corporate companies & bank officials present here
have together decided on... And any luck there?
No, we didn't get anything. A special prize for this year!
No?
The idea of Baba Ma daycare is not only novel...
but also unique.
Different from everyone else!
'Asroy' is a true CSR!
Every corporate house should take this social responsibility.
And the presentation, my goodness!
The most unique start-up presentation of the year!
And it's true!
If the employee's family is not happy,
how will the employee be happy?
Therefore,
the corporate companies have decided
to make place for senior citizen daycare in their projects!
They have a special prize for it! Yes!
And 'Ashray' will be their role model!
Madam... Finally!
From the very first day of this beautiful project,
I have opposed it.
And for that,
I offer to have my ear pulled by my Boss, Smt Shubhra Goswami.
I will rather give you a kiss.
Oh, how touching!
My son is always praising you. Ma...
He is very fond of you. We wanted to tell you first.
What?
Uhh, one thing, You say it. Barin & I are getting married.
I knew it. My parents still disapprove.
They will surely come around.
Now, both of you will be coming late together! I know!
No, sir...
Look at him! Naughty brat!
Sir's like that...
'Mashi'!
Bless you, son.
Krishna!
You came here! I am so glad!
Can you make place for me at your creche?
Will you keep me?
What are you saying!
Come & see how it looks! I'll take her there.
Leave her. I'll take her. Come.
Ma can't live away from Kolkata anymore.
I came to know about your creche.
Then I told Ma, this is the best plan.
And... Mumbai?
I quit the job. I'll find a job here.
Shekhar is coming to Kolkata too, right? I'll give you the divorce.
Again!?
I'm just kidding!
I've seen the update on Facebook. He has gone on a trip with his wife,
and kids! I stalk him because of you, Sumi.
There's a job opening, are you interested?
Managing Director.
Want to take the responsibility of Ma's venture?
Baba Ma Daycare.
Come back to me, Shumi!
Ani!
Is that an aarti?
Three. Where?
It went down?
Ah, yours went down silently.
And when mine goes down, you boo me!
Yes, it's a one! No way!
What is happening!
See!
Always cheating!
Two.
What's the trick?
Oh my God!
Straight to 98!
Why touch my tokens?
Don't do any of that.
Fine, put it back. Forget it
Do it. You already have!
I'm sorry! Don't be!
I did you a favour, put it at 99.
Roll the dice... My turn?
Yes.
Oh, look at your moves!
1-2-3-4-5!
One!
I got you! Oooh!
There you go, aha!
I knew your touch would make me lose!
I am not playing with you. You're tricking me...
Putting them at the mouth of the snake!
No, I haven't done anything. No way.
Sorry, sorry, come on...
Don't laugh!
You're impossible!
Hey, what are you?
Me? Yes, you?
I am your sister.
No, you're a magician. A magician?
No way. Come on.
