now, don't be misled by the name. when you go inside,you'll see a proper battlefield. this is my house. the owner of this houseis a retired post master. he had named the house shanti mansionafter his deceased wife. come on, let's meet him. he is mr. shivnath sharma. in his youth he was very artistic! he even sang.

he is mr. shivnath's elder son,mr. ramnath. he is the head clerk in this office.he is a very kind hearted man. but he has a habit of drinkingcountry liquor in the evening. this is his wife, seeta devi. this is their daughter, meeta.sorry, meeta, b.a. mr. shivnath's secondson harinath and his wife. they died in a car accident. this is their daughter, krishna. she is a very pretty and sweet girl.

this is mr. shivnath's third son,mr. kashinath. he is a scholar and teaches at school. and this is his wife, shobha devi. she was so beautiful that mr. shivnathdidn't even ask for a dowry. they also have a son, master pintu. this is mr. vishwanath, a.k.a. babbu. he is shivnath's youngest son. he is an assistantmusic director in films. till today he has stolen music frominnumerable english songs.

but nobody has everbeen able to prove it. there are a few other peopletaking part in this play. like, mr. arun kumar. apart from bodybuilding,he is studying for his m.a. exams. we don't know his name. everyone calls him guruji. we still have to introduce you to an important character. the cook. come on, let's goback to where we started.

shanti mansion. ramu. what about my job? you will get it dear. what's the hurry?- don't ask. from a bearer, i became a cook. now, i am neither a cook nor a bearer. i thought that one master in the house,is better than ten masters in a hotel. when i came here,there were still ten masters.. ..and the house is worst than a hotel.

i feel that i've taken job in some cheap lodging house. darn it. there is one more job available.but you won't get this much salary. what do you think i get here? fifty rupees, food,clothes and a place to stay awake. a place to stay awake? - what else? where do i get the time to sleep? therefore i go and sleep outside. look, you'll get rs. 40 there.

also you will get food,clothes and a place to stay in. then come on.let's go there right now. atleast go and settle your account. what account? i've worked for one monthand three days. i don't mind if i don'tget paid for three days. let's go. but i feel bad for the old man. he'll need tea. munna (child).

munna. why is father callingme so early in the morning? what happened? did you hear him? even you can hear him. father. when will you people learn? i just fail to understand. i've been telling yousince you were in school.

try to get up early. i'm trying father.i will slowly get in to the habit. nonsense. - did you call me for this? since morning this old manhas been waiting for a cup of tea. so then hasn't the cook givenyou tea as yet? if he had given me tea,then why would i call you ? looks like that idiot also ran away.- what? why? did hell break loose when you heard it?

in my times, the womenof the house would do everything. these days, the daughters-in-laware not like daughters. they are like daughters in legal sense. daughter-in-law. they are daughtersonly in the legal sense. now who will get into legalmatters so early? therefore, i called you. push the box inside. father how often have i told you.. ..not to keep so much gold,jewellery in the house.

it will get stolen some day. keep it in the bank. forget about the gold and jewellery. and arrange some tea for this old man. it's 7am.the cook hasn't served tea as yet. i hope that even he hasn't run away.- what? don't talk about such badthings early in the morning. oh my god. the cook really hasn't come. now what?

what else? again i'll asksomeone to get me a servant. krishna? krishna?- coming. what happened, shobha aunty? please prepare sometea and bring quickly. why, the cook is not there? has he gone? don't know whetherhe is gone or he is dead. i will make some right away.

why are you strutting about? can't you see it's slippery there? i forgot, shobha aunty. have you even forgot thatgod has given you eyes to see. look! i can't handle thiseveryday problem. who will do all the housework now? clean the utensils,cook, wash clothes. you won't be doing it all by yourself. there is sister-in-law,krishna and meeta too.

enough. don't talk about your niece. as for your sister,as soon as she hears this.. ..her joints will start paining. so, what can i do? a school teacher whoearns rs. 300 per month.. ..cannot stay in a houseof his own either. - why not? there are just three of us.what are our expenses? it's not a matter of expenses. if we leave this house, my elderbrother will poison father's mind.

i'll be disinheritedfrom the house and estate. have you ever seenthe box under father's bed? yes. i have seen that box. and i've also seen the lock on it. that is why i am quiet. oh, no. your younger brother'searly morning noise begins. is this a house or a fish market? cook. the cook has left, uncle babbu.

left? very good. didn't he take a medal before he left?- medal? why? has anyone lastedmore than a week here? he was here for an entire month. shouldn't he get a medal? are you preparing tea? - yes. very good. get it quickly. a very beautiful tunebeing composed is stuck midway. when the hot tea goes insidethe stomach, it will come out.

i will bring it right away. - okay. sister.. - come in. come inside. heard the news? - yes, i heard. my joints have startedpaining since last night. here nobody will let me die in peace. grandpa. hot tea. hot tea. i knew that this would happen. - what? same. everyone would sit back and relax. and you'll end up preparing the tea.

so what? what is the shame in doing housework? yes, yes.even they don't have any shame. but nobody does the housework. look grandpa,don't you dare criticise my uncles. hot tea? uncle babbu, hot tea. oh, no. you have ruined everything. i was about to makea good tune for the song.

is this a tune?it is just some stupid warble. like a train running on the tracks. look krishna,don't give your opinion on music. how would you know whatsells in the market these days? look! a heart-beat is in two-four!okay! but if this same heart beats faster,its meter is six to eight. how? all these are technical complications. you won't understand them.- yes, yes that's true.

it is such hard work. like you get an english record first. play it. hear it. record it,and then fit hindi words into it. there are so manytechnical complications. krishna listen.. - yes? this is a trade secret. if revealed, my market will get ruined. for now, the tea is getting cold.drink it.

oh, god. the eggs musthave boiled into rocks. oh, god. hot tea. hot tea. uncle.. tea.- yes. bless you, dear. bless you. seeta aunty, tea. dear give some to meeta too. no. no. don't wake her up. - why? her dance ended at 2 am last night.

it is difficult to live in this house now. ruffians have taken over. it's a zoo. bloody idiots! what kind of food is this? can anyone work for all dayafter eating such food? is this curry? not a single grain in it! we made whatever wasavailable in the house.

..that he is a dangerousmurderer and killer. and today, this news. oh, god. a boy from a good family,well educated, but a criminal mind. at times he's a tutor orat times he's a music teacher. he barges into housesas a servant sometimes. and after barging in,he gains everyone's confidence. and then he robseverything and disappears. think about it. educated young man.

mother said. raghu. hey, raghu. get up. eat. i quickly put out both my hands. all of a sudden, i remembered themillions of hungry people in the world. i said, i will only eat whenyou arrange for all of them to eat. the goddess said.. "dear raghu. there isn'ta dearth of food in this world." but when man becomes enemyof man and eats his food.. ..then what can i do? - correct.

you keep quiet. what then? i quickly fell at her feet and said.. "..i don't know about that,first arrange for everyone to eat." she told me,"let go of me." i said, "no." she said, "raghu." i said, "mother." all of a sudden,she hit the vessel on my head. and holding the vessel,i fell unconscious . when i got up, i saw thatthe goddess had disappeared.. ..and the vessel was in my hands.

that's it. the other day, i meltedthat vessel and made these utensils. so many utensils from one vessel? it wasn't mine or yours, sir. it belonged to the goddess annapurna. come on. come on.we will go to the kitchen. oh my god. it is very slippery here.! yes. we have a sweeper.we have told him so many times.. what is the need of telling him?i will clean it right away. no. you let it be.

krishna. - yes? is he there or has he left? who, raghu? - yes. he is there. what happened? - please wait. here's lime and coca-cola. mix the lime juiceand coca-cola in this. you will enjoy it.- what are you talking about? this is country liquor and..- that is the fun.

drink it and see.and these are fried pulses. if one has to drink,he should drink royally. you start.i will just pull down the curtains. otherwise, pintu will come. actually one enjoys drinkingonly when he is alone. but where did you learn all this from? i worked for a film lyricist!i learnt this from there. sir please don't ask me his name. or this poor guy's realitywill be exposed.

so? did you enjoy it? very good. very good. you work the whole day. and on top of that the problemsand tensions of the house. how will you surviveif you don't drink a little? you drink comfortably.i will leave now. dear can i get a cup of tea? here you are, kashi brother. not only tea,there is something else with it too.

..but it is so difficult to be simple. happy means happiness, right? no. happy means happy. what is the meaningof the whole phrase? don't you know?- no. this means it is easy to remain happy. but it is very difficult to be simple. wonderful. wonderful.it is such a beautiful thing. previously, just becausei didn't know the meaning..

..the heart would rote it like a parrot. brother kashinath,i should take your blessings. hail. - hey. hey. harindranath used to say. raghu, the small thingsin life are very important. you see,the job of a husband is to earn. the job of a wife isto look after the house. if the husband comes home everyday.. ..and helps her for five minutes in the household chores..

..or washes the utensils with her,won't it be great fun? the wife would say no. let it be. you work all through the day.and on top of that you are helping me. go, you sit with our child. kashi brother,the wife will refuse to let him do it.. ..but in her heart,she will want him to stay with her. actually, kashi brother these are thesmall matters that are important in life. waiting for some bigger happiness,we lose these smaller happy moments. there are ten or twenty momentsof big happinesses.

but it is these thousands and millions.. ..of chances of small happinesses that we just lose. whom am i telling this to?you yourself are so educated and wise. please forgive me. it's so simple to be happy.. it's so simple to be happy,but so difficult to be simple. great. hey. hey.brother babbu, you eat eggs everyday? even a hen will bebored eating so many eggs.

aren't you bored by now? here. you have these kebabs today. wow. kebabs. normally nothing is servedwith tea in this house. eat it. and these eggs, go and givethem to elder brother. - why? he will like it. no. he will suspect me.- why? i haven't given hima single peanut upto now.

raghu. you go. babbu brother can i help you?- you? what do you know about music? i had a chance to workfor pandit omkarnath thakur. there by imitating songs,i actually learnt singing. if you really ask me,i like sad songs a lot. happy songs are like sparks. they light and then drop off. but sadness. sadness burnslike incense sticks, for long.

and even when it extinguishes,its aroma exists. wow.you speak just like hasrat jaipuri. what is the matter, brother raghu? silent. sit quietly and eat eggs. okay. now think thatyou are the hero of the movie. me. no. no. give me some other example.not the hero of any picture. no. i know that. if you could become a hero why wouldyou become a cook? - yes. correct.

but does it cost moneyto think like that? so think that you are a hero. should i? - yes. okay. - okay. and you live in a village. you love a girl there. you go to the city to study. and when you return..- the girl is already married. and the path on whichthe hero was coming..

..on the same path, the heroine'spalanquin was passing by. and when the heroinepeeked from the palanquin.. ..she suddenly saw the hero. how do you know that? this is what happensin movies these days. as soon as they see each other,the hero starts singing. no! no! no! this is where ourfilm becomes off-beat. the song is sung by the cart-driver. oh. can i take this tambourine..?- yes, you may.

it has swollen too much! this time, during the summer holidays.. ..i will tell him totake you to vajreshwari. there is a sacred spring there. i have heard that one gets cured after taking a bath there. what happened, sister?is it hurting a lot? then? even my daughter didn'tserve me like this. am i not a dear one to you?am i a stranger?

oh no! you're very dear to me. god has made such wonderfulthings on this earth. he has made sulphursprings to combat disease. but he himself hasgiven us disease too. if he had not given this disease.. ..then what would bethe need of that spring? sister, people chant god's name in pain. and you are cursing him? then what do i do?! if it werehis legs, he would have come to know..

..when he had to climb upand down the stairs so many times. you summoned me, elder brother? - yes. why? you didn't bring coca cola,lime and fried pulses today? you don't need it today. - why? i know by looking at your face. what does my face tell you? - look.. why does a man drink liquor?to get rid of worry. but when the worries are donewith and a man is out of trouble.. ..the intoxication of happiness is such that..

..he doesn't need anyartificial intoxication. looking at your face today,i come to know.. ..that you're brimming with happiness. you are right, raghu.i have one very good news today. what? what? first of all, i have got anincrement in the office. - really! my salary was increased by rs. 30. and secondly,i got an extension for three years! therefore, you have bought these sweets!

come on, let's distribute thesesweets to everyone. - no! no! i've brought these sweets just for you. because i have got thispromotion just because of you. and listen, don't tell this to anyone. why? this is such agood news elder brother. and the happinessincreases as you share it. yes. but only if the peoplewho hear it have a huge heart. what are you talking about? who will be jealous of you?

everyone. everyone.- that is the limit. just now,brother kashi was telling me.. ..that he is so unfortunatethat he can't help you at all! he has to work sohard even at this age. if i would have it in my hands,i would have told him.. ..brother, please take retirement. i will earn and i will serve you. did kashi say that?- yes. don't you believe it? no! i know that kashi loves me a lot.

from our childhood. one day in school, while playing hockey,i fouled and the referee chucked me out. after that, kashi thrashedthe referee so much! - is it so? he thrashed him so bad! - yes! when i forbade himdo you know what he said? yes! i know! i know! brother must have told you thati am useless and don't do any work. that i haven't given a singlerupee more since the past three years. no! no!

elder brother was praising you. what? praising me? - yes. me? - yes. what nonsense are you saying?- i am not speaking nonsense. just this morning he was saying.. "..raghu, look at kashi." he was such a brilliant student. i should have sent him to oxford or cambridge. but i am useless.

i couldn't do anything for him.it is said that.. ..the elder brotheris like the father. that means that the elderbrother is like the father. i wanted to do a lot for him. i could do nothing for him,not even stitching a suit. did he really say that?- yes. don't you believe me? no. it's not so. - okay. once, the referee chucked yourelder brother from the hockey match. and you had hit the referee?

yes, yes. - how do i know that?how do i know that? elder brother told me. but kashi brother whatever be the caseit wasn't right to thrash the referee. why doesn't it seem to be right? why?- no. the referee had taken a bribeand removed our elder brother.. ..because he was the best player. whatever is the case, he musthave fouled. that means cheated. see raghu.. - yes. beware. hold your tongue.

elder brother can never cheat. he is like god. god!it is me who is good for nothing. he has to work even at this age. i can't even tell him.. "..elder brother, please rest now." i'll handle all theresponsibilities of the house. so what, brother kashi? we wish to do a lot in life.. ..but we aren't able to do it.

can't we make up for itby giving some more love? now look! today elder brother has got an increment. his salary has been increased. who told you? - elder brother. oh! how much?- thirty rupees. thirty rupees! now what went wrong? brother, i'm going away.

first come inside.you can leave later. i'm leaving this house. - why? because i cannot tolerateany more insults. even i've self-respect!how much can i bear? but what happened?who has insulted you? you did. - i? yes, you. you! how did i insult you? you got an increment, right?thirty rupees.

yes, i did.so how were you insulted by it? i certainly was. - why? you got an increment andraghu came to tell me about it. why? couldn't you have told me? in a house in which one has to find outnews about his brother from the cook.. ..there isn't any needof living in such a house. hey. listen!come here. come here, stupid. when could i tell you?i've just come in. as soon as i came,i met raghu so i told him.

here. have these sweets. not only have i got an increment.. ..i have also got an extension for three years. hey! you are very stingy. - why? it is such good news and you're offering me one sweet? this whole box is mine.- listen, listen.. listen, i have to give sweets to others too. i'll bring the sweetsfor everyone else. but this box... this box is mine.

he still behaves like a child. okay go now. where is that? - what grandpa? raghu, see whether itis under the bed. - but who? walking stick.- stick! grandpa, here is the walking stick. go grandpa. go and have a walkin the park. - okay! okay! come on! come on! do whatever i tell you to.aren't i your elder brother?

great! will i haveto listen to everything.. ..that you say ifyou are my elder brother? yes, you will have to agree to that.that is your duty. look brother,don't teach me about my duty. i have a duty too.i have a principle too. look, kashi. i don't like this uselessargument so early in the morning. i'm telling you, you go first. you have an intellectual job. you just don't sit like me and do pen-pushing.

now how are brains and pen connected with this? stop your nonsense. go. i know.you can't hold it since childhood. even you take an hour. now look..- listen, listen. the two of you decide.i'll go till then. babbu! babbu! - look at that! try to be more formal! we both suffered a loss due to it.

shobha. take this. what is this, sister? wow! spicy grams. who made them? who used to give you spicy grams? that raghu doesn'tlet me enter the kitchen. today he has gone out. so i made themquickly for you. have them. why did you take the trouble? aren't you troubled fromthe joint pain nowadays? why shouldn't i be worried?

that rogue raghu doesn'tlet me do anything. he has turned usinto good for nothings. only eat and sleep.only eat and sleep. if this goes on for few more days.. ..then i won't be ableto even get up from the bed. yes, sister. my weight increased ten poundsin the last month. - oh gosh. if raghu stays fora couple of months more.. ..even i will become like you.

yes, shobha.we will have to do something. but you eat first. why there are so many limes? because you like them sour. that was becausei was expecting pintu then. seriously sister, you used topamper me so much in those days. you didn't even let me miss my mother. but now you don't love me at all.- you mad girl! i still love you the same way.

you were a child then!now you're a child's mother! at that time,your feet didn't settle at one place. sometimes here and sometimes there. you used to roam aroundall through the house. dance is a type of devotion, dear. and devotion is whatmakes a person successful. you have to come first inthe dance competition this year. it's a.. it's a matter of our honour. that means it is a matter ofour honour.

so come on dear,let's begin our practice? okay? one, two.. "oh krishna! why do you force me?" "oh krishna! why do you..oh krishna! why do you.." "oh krishna! why do you.." what happened, master? our practice has been ruined. - how? how?! look over there! what are you doing here?

if nothing has happened,then why are you crying? tell me. i will tell you, grandpa. sister krishna was lookingat sister meeta's dance. sister meeta got angry.and vented her anger out on her! what is there to get annoyed? her worship was disturbed. worship was disturbed? is she some heavenly dancer? she is getting veryegoistic these days.

raghu.. you have so many talents. can't you break her arrogance? i will give you 25 paise.- twenty-five paise? okay not 25 paise,i'll give you 50 paise. you will surely give it to me? - yes. really?! "he first stole, then lied!"- quiet. "my fair wrist... he grabbed" "playing the flute, sittingon the shore of the jamuna river."

"he creates a hullabaloo,he embraces me." "he holds my fair wrist." "oh krishna! why do you force me." "my eyes shed tears." "what can i do my friend?my heart won't listen to me." "what can i do?my heart won't listen to me." "my eyes.. my eyes shed tears." "every moment, i wait for my beloved." "day and night, i call out to him."

"on the banks of the jamuna,i look for him." wonderful! wonderful!- "my eyes.. my eyes shed tears." "i shed so many tears,like a river flowing." "in the river flow i see my beloved" 'like the lotus, he smiles at me" "he won't come to me" "where will i go? where will i go?where will i go?" "my heart is so restless." "my eyes..."

they should be angry!why did she take him to her room? grandpa, mr. arun came to teach.there wasn't any place to sit. you were sleeping. therefore,sister krishna took him upstairs. oh! - this world is so strange. you try to help someoneand he criticises you. look grandpa! i am an outspoken man!i don't like this! you should be ashamed of yourself. instead of giving thispoor innocent girl love... ..everyone is oppressing her!

raghu, get my cane.- will you beat sister krishna? no. i will hit those two. - what? i am the owner of this house! i can hit..- no! grandpa! that won't be needed. you just go and scold them.that's all! you come with me. come. stay here. you won't getanything to eat or drink from today! lock her up in the room! you look very innocentbut are these your deeds?

what a dirty mind you have!- what! my mind is dirty? - don't touch me.talk from a distance. get out of this house!don't ever come here again! who wants to come here? no decent man will ever wantto come back. - what? did you see his guts?- why won't he have them? she is here to encourage him. since how many days is this going on? since how many days is this going on?tell me! tell me!

what is going on? what is going on in this house? how many times have wetold you not to encourage her?! shut up! i know. i know everything. and who are you to hit her? what are you saying?in broad daylight in this house.. this is my house! get lost from here!get lost! get lost! you don't know how to give love!you can only beat her! is this your father's house?

go away!are you going or not?! why didn't you wake me up, crazy girl? what is this?you are sleeping at this hour? are you unwell?why don't you answer me? do you have a fever or something? forget it. don't show false concern. at least tell me what happened?- what will you do after knowing it? today your father abused me...in my father's name. what? abused in father's name? - yes.

he said, is this your father's house? but why did father say that? i made huge mistake. your niece krishna took arun to herroom and was enjoying herself. what? enjoying herself!? yes! the eyes heard it and the ears saw it! you mean the eyes saw it and the ears heard it! yes! the eyes saw it and the ears heard it! when i scolded her,that boy said whatever he felt like!

what? how dare he! krishna! - krishna! why her? go and tell your father. how can i tell him?he is the master of the house. it's better to diethan stay in this house! shobha, shobha, don't cry, don't cry. i'll just go and ask father. don't cry. don't cry.i'll deal with it right away! brother did you hear what happened?- yes. come.

we should settle this with father today.- come on. brother! where are you going, brother?- to father. shall i tell you one thing? - what? today grandpa scoldedboth the aunties a lot. it was indeed quite enjoyable. what is enjoyable in this? isn't it nice when elders scold you?i like it. it shows that theylove and care for me. i feel a sense of belonging.

have you ever heardanyone loving his family.. ..and scolding the neighbours? one only scolds the one he loves. yes, he scolds. but.. but it does not mean that he'llsay whatever he pleases to our wives. no, no, this is wrong. if she is your wife, thenshe is also grandpa's daughter-in-law. pintu is your son. lf grandpa has to scold him,will he ask you prior to it?

think about it.tomorrow when pintu gets married.. ..won't you have a right to scold his wife? and if you scold her andhe comes to you complaining.. ..then do you know what you'll tell him? get lost you henpecked husband,you slave. and yes if grandpa has over-stepped,then think of his age too. and even aunty has notcommitted any mistake. she has just lost her temperand spoken harshly to mr. arun. then in this...- yes, he is the real culprit.

right, it is the boy's mistake!why should we say anything to father? raghu, look. henceforth that boyshouldn't be able to enter this house. yes, tell him those are our orders. oh my god! - what happened? my curry is burned! brother, no matter what,but raghu is right. yes, as soon as we enter the house.. ..our wives begin provoking us.that's a limit now! yes. as if we don't have any individual entity.

what do we not have?- individual entity. i mean, a being. what is that?- a being means, me. am i not me? what is this?if i am not me, then am i you? kashi, you have gone crazy teaching students. no. that's not what being means.please, listen to me. i've had enough. individuality.- go and tell your wife. a person has an individuality... yes? - about that, it is said...

hey. sister krishna, why are yousitting so lost here? come downstairs. i know him, brother raghu.he'll never come back. who will teach me now?- leave it to me. i'll fix everything. smile and behave normal asif nothing has happened. how can i smile and behave normalwhen my aunties are angry? you leave all that to me. do as i say.- what? go and touch both aunties feetand ask to be forgiven. why? i didn't do anything wrong.

so what?even if you didn't do anything wrong.. ..why are you ashamedof apologising to the elders? do as i tell you. have some faith in me, my sister. mother, did you hit krishna? yes. - that's very bad. just because she took arun in her room? even i go to parties. i go alone. and many times i come home late.

you never told me anything. and you beat her forsuch a small reason. just because she doesn'thave parents, right? if you'd done this with me,i'd have left the house. i'll drop her at her uncle's place tomorrow itself. no, sister.i won't go to my uncle's place. if those who have brought me up,have no place for me, then... it would have been better if i haddied with my parents in the accident. listen to that! listen tothe girl talking in the twilight.

really seeta aunty, shobha aunty.. ..i've done nothing tomake you ashamed of me. may i die on the spotif i am speaking a lie. i'll slap you if youtalk like that again! come in. crazy girl. crazy girl! keep quiet.

raghu! raghu! where are you all? all of you are slumbering! come here and see!everything is ruined! what happened? what happened, father? go and look into the room. what happened? what happened? all the money and jewellery has been stolen! what! - krishna!

what happened, grandpa?- everything has been stolen. what? - the jewellery that i keptfor you, all of it has been stolen. i knew this would happen someday. i told you a thousand times to keep it in the bank. to keep it in the bank.but who listens to me? even at sixty you treat me as a child! took the whole box away..- what happened? someone opened the trunkand took the box of jewellery. brother, did you notice something?- what?

the lock wasn't broken. it was opened. which means the thiefis someone from the house. meeta, where is raghu? raghu, brother raghu is not to be seen.- okay. now he won't be seen either!- why? dr. b. c roy first.then, mr. v. p. naik! and after pandit omkarnath thakur etc., etc... now he must be workingat the president's house! president's house?- yes.

yes in the president's housewith mrs. indira gandhi. no. mrs. indira gandhi isn'tin the president's house anymore. it is mr. v. v. giri. what do you want to say?- very simple. do you know it is 9 am in the morning? what? - yes. and didn't you smell a strange odourwhile waking up? - yes. yes. i was even feeling a bit heavy- headed. yes. so the good mr. raghunandanmade us unconscious and robbed us.

no! brother raghu can never do that. is this box belongs to your family? yes, yes.but.. but how did you get this? i'll tell you. i was returning frommy exercise in the morning. i saw that brother raghuwas taking this box away. i suspected his intentions. i went to him and asked him whose this box was? all of a sudden,he punched me and i fell down.

brother raghu ran away with the box.i followed him. and there was a fight between us. till then some people gathered.. ..and brother raghu ran away leaving the box behind. i thought... this is your box, isn't it? yes, yes son. you saved us. it has jewellery worth lakhs of rupees. and all of you, good for nothings. you insulted this boy andthrew him out of this house?

dear arun, we committed a huge mistake. son. today you've proved how wrongwe can be in recognising people. yes. we thought raghuwas so decent and honest man. he used to talk about goodness. or else how could he cheat us? we should have realised itat the very beginning. who will be readyto work in just rs. 30? yes, someone who knows sanskrit. who knows how to sing?!- who knows how to dance too?!

remember how he made us all dance. i thought he must be some holy person. and he turned outto be a low-down thief! thank god he was not a murderer. or in our absence hewould have slit your throats.. ..and swiped the jewelleryfrom this house. - sister! we must inform the police. such a monstrous thiefmust be arrested immediately. if i had caught him..

..l would've beatenhim black and blue. enough! it's a sin to even hearsuch things about brother raghu. brother raghu... he is a god. he had made me swear thati would not tell this to anyone. i don't care whatever happens to me.. ..but i lied to you all. this morning when i was exercising.. down and up.

mr. arun. - brother raghu, you? yes, i came along to exercise. i've heard you're a wrestling champion. i've won the inter-collegiateaward in consecutive years. you must have clearlycompeted with a fool. defeat me and i'll accept it!shall we? you'll get hurt brother raghu.i'm a free-style champion! i am free too. then weall have our own styles. come on. come on. then remove your clothes.- no, that tickles.

i'll wrestle with my clothes on. okay, come on. - come on. help me, o god! wonderful! excellent make-up!you got beating on exact place! don't fight. don't fight. mr. arun,you have to wrestle better than this. what does that mean?- i'll explain. you come inside. let's go. let's go. take this. - what is this?

grandpa's jewellery box. give it to him. and tell him: raghu was runningaway with it when you saw him. you caught him and bashed him. why? why this drama all of a sudden? with this drama only, you will beallow to re-enter the house mr. arun. no need. there is no need for me to re-enter the house. there is a need.

for sister krishna. she has no one inthis world except you. if not for yourself!for her sake, you must go there. you are not aware mr. arun.. ..in this world,good is always weighed against money. that's why i stole this box. so that you can enter the house and marry sister krishna. but this lie? mr. arun, don't get too involvedwith truth and lies.

always remember, what leads togoodness of human, can never be bad. brother raghu, who are you? me, my name is raghuand i am your brother. don't joke. tell me, who are you? where have you come from?what were you doing before this? what will you do with all this?- no, i want to know. i know after todayyou'll never meet me again. my name is prabhakarand i'm from banaras. even i don't know more than that.

i do not know who my parents were. that is why i merely treat myself asa son of this nation and earth. an elderly man raised me. hence i look upon him as my father,my mentor. he had taught me one thingthat life is happiness and.. ..happiness is gained from knowledge. acquire knowledge and distribute it. after acquiring knowledge,i thought i was clever. i became a professor.

i learnt music, i obtained joy. then i learnt danceand became very happy. i loved to eat, so i learned cooking. i was extremely happyand self-contained. then one day, i asked myself. for whom is this happiness and joy? for myself, just for myself.. ..when there is so muchturmoil in the world? when people are pesteredby small dilemmas?

that is because people have forgotten.. ..the smallest and important thing of life, love. suddenly,i asked myself, what am i doing? what am i teaching?words, merely words. i gave up teaching. i found a house which had everything,but not peace. i took up a positionas a servant in that house. believe me,i did not teach them anything. i only made them rememberthose small things of life..

..that they had forgotten. they all had love,but it was coated with a little dust. i just cleaned that dust and did nothing more. happiness, peace, all returned to that house. my own happiness and peaceincreased immensely. that's then it become my mission. then i left that house, wentinto a second, then into a third.. ..and so on,till i entered this house. where everyone is happyexcept my younger sister.

her happiness is in your handsand i came to ask you for it, mr. arun. don't delay it. may the lord bless you. and yes, one more thing. i bind you with my oath,just do as i say. don't tell all these things to anyone. whether you let me enterthis house again or not. i don't care whether you all accept me or not.. ..but for god's sake,don't insult brother raghu.

wait. wait, son. raghu has done so much for us. then can't we fulfill his only wish? i'm the head of this house. i'm fixing krishna's marriage with you. what happened? - what happened? brother raghu! brother.. you are leaving us like this, withoutmeeting us, without saying anything.

you gave us so much love!you received so much love! doesn't it mean anything? you're so heartless? no, dear. it is painful toleave after such involvement. but what can be done sister?i must go! why? why will you have to go? your house is settled, sister.. ..but there are several such housesin this world, which still need me. i must go. it's my mission.

the work which i am doing, you both should do it together. spread a lot of loveamongst the people. save them from their petty dilemmas. in this way they will grow one to two,two to ten, ten to thousand. gradually, this world,this earth will become so beautiful. there will be so muchpeace in this world. and.. may i leave now, my sister? be happy and at peace.

the quest for a turbulent houseof raghunandan begins once again. we hope.. ..at least that turbulent housewill not be your house.
