"27 Down Varanasi Express is about to leave from Platform No.3" "Passengers travelling by this train may please occupy their seats." "Again another bridge?" "Perhaps it is a bridge." "How many bridges keep coming on the way..." "Looks like uptil now I've crossed innumerable bridges." "People usually go from one place to another." "But I keep travelling without a destination." "People reach a place after a day or a night's travel." "But I only keep shifting my thoughts." "Don't know where am I wandering why am I going, with whom am I revolting?" "It usually happens with me that whenever I see a calendar or a clock I get a feeling that I am alive." "The beginning of life itself was unique." "What a big childhood I had." "But not a part of it is a past to me." "There was not a single day with a flash that would shine and make me shine too." "Even now, my vision recapitulates the sight of a morning, a bridge, a moving train with a III class ticket." "Sleep." "Since childhood Anna was like a mountain to me." "Never asked a question anytime." "Was scared to ask a question." "Who lays these tracks?" "We, Railway people." "Buy lovely toys from me." "Here's a train." "Akka, how does a train stop with a chain?" "I don't know." "Ask your Anna." "Akka, this train..." " Train, train." "Sleep quietly." "What?" "Has Bhusawal come?" "Come on, get up..." "Hey!" "What are you doing?" "Want to become an engine driver like your Anna?" "Come on, go and study." "Get up soon Sanjay." "You'll get late to School." "Get up." "Don't you want to go to School?" "What are you doing here?" "Go and play with the other kids." "You keep hanging round here only." "Chuk chuk chuk chuk goes the train." "Chuk chuk chuk chuk goes the train." "Come children, let's play a game." "Come children, let's play a game." "It runs fast on the ground." "It stops at stations with crowds boarding, and alighting." "Come kids, let us play a game." "Someone comes and someone goes." "This is a game of this world." "Bell rings at every station." "Signal will be given and the flag will wave." "Then the train starts moving." "I don't want to become an engine driver." "Thank God!" "Only my leg broke." "No driver could have survived this accident." "While I tried to put the brakes, I lost control over the train." "I kept chanting the name of God and the accident took place." "What a sight it was!" "God bless you Sanjay." "Be happy." "I am worried as I didn't get any letter from you." "Everytime I tell you that you should write one letter every three days." "It might be monsoon now in Bombay." "Don't sleep in open air at night." "Monsoon winds tend to make a man's body frigid." "Use a bed sheet also at night." "There might be mosquitoes at night due to the rain." "Close the window at night, if it has no grills." "Days are very bad." "You won't understand that." "But a son is like a vision to his father's eyes." "Don't unnecessarily spend money." "Don't eat that Bhelpuri sold in the market." "Your stomach will get upset due to that." "Go for a walk in the morning." "Also do surya namaskar." "Health is wealth." "People keep roaming out till late night in Bombay." "But you come home on time and go to bed early." "Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise." "Had your Akka been alive today I needn't have to worry at all." "I never thought that you would leave Bhusawal and go to rot in Bombay." "Now it is all God's will." "Yesterday I had shown your horoscope to Joshi." "He was saying that everything was fine but for Mangal, due to which you went to Bombay to study." "I am even trying ways and means to make your life comfortable." "O.K. Take care." "Skip your lunch and reply my letter immediately." "Blessings, Anna." "Yes, what is the matter?" "Sir, I want to go to Bhusawal for a few days." "But you've just now returned after your holidays." "I have a telegram from my father." "Is everything O.K. there?" "Don't know sir." "Father's one leg is paralysed." "Perhaps there might be some problem." "O.K. But return soon." "This is your final year..." "Or else you will be lagging." "Filled up the form for your job?" "You won't get this chance again." "I have already spoken to the Superintendent." "He will set right everything." "I know him since long." "Suppose tomorrow someone else comes, then?" "But Anna?" " What's there to hesitate in this?" "You've to work now and in future too." "Then why don't you start working today itself?" "But allow me to complete my studies." "You can study later also." "What's there in education these days?" "No one gives a job these days even for an M.A." "Other than railways, I can work elsewhere also." "Else where?" "Why?" "What is wrong with a job in railways?" "How many facilities are there?" "Free quarters, pass and even coal is free." "Your Anna too was in the railways." "I am lame now without any courage." "God knows what will happen tomorrow." "I want to see you settled while I am alive." "Had your Akka been alive today it would've been a different story." "I am not all that strong now." "You've written 2 names of your birth places." "How is this possible?" "Did you take birth twice?" "No sir." "Actually I was born in a moving train." "My parents were going to Bhusawal from Chalisgaon." "Between Manmad and Shirsoli, I was born in the train." "So, you were born when the train was at Manmad?" "No sir." "It had already left Manmad." "Then, were you born at Shirsoli?" "No, I was born before the train reached Shirsoli." "As such the train was neither at Manmad or at Shirsoli." "I was actually born when the train was running between Manmad and Shirsoli." "I don't know all these things." "You should write only one name in your place of birth." "Take this." "Look, this is Railway, not a joke." "Like the railway tracks we have reached here today with great difficulty." "You also make a habit of walking on tracks, from now." "Then only, you can become something in life." "O.K. sir." "Are you on some other duty, these days?" "Sanjay Babu, where were you all these days?" "This letter is lying here since four days." "I have come to know everything from Pandurang." "He says that, when you are not on duty you sleep and eat in the train itself." "Don't you like this place?" "Nothing like that uncle." "So what is wrong in staying there itself?" "Not only food, but everything is available there." "Then, why do you pay rent every month?" "My letters should have an address to reach." "Oh God!" "What is wrong with the boys of these days?" "Is there a bridge again?" "Looks like the tune, of my life too has changed like the train." "Sometimes on a bridge or on a level ground sometimes on an ascent or on a descent." "But now I should know one thing." "How many places have I left behind me?" "Let someone tell me how much time have I left behind me." "In reality where have I spent my life?" "Have I just grown up to 1, 2, 3, 23, 24 years?" "I heard the first noise of train when I was an year old." "When I heard the noise of engines and compartments joining together, I was seven years old then." "I have heard Anna chanting shlokas from Gita and I have thus grown my beard." "If reclining on the berth of the train I try to recollect the length of my past nights I gather that I am 24 years old now." "Why didn't you board the ladies compartment?" "It is more crowded there." "You could've boarded the First class then." "But I have a third class pass." "So what?" "Do they check tickets daily on locals?" "My both the hands were engaged." "I feel as though I am standing before that marble statue." "Both had no hands." "Keep them both in your bag and keep your one hand free." "It may be useful to you." "Did you get lost with her in the crowd?" "Nothing like that." "Poor thing, she left her box behind." "Don't worry." "Stand at the gate in the evening." "You can meet her there." " Let us see man." "You..." " Your box." "You were in such a hurry then that you forgot your box." "You might have starved the whole day." "No I ate in the Office." "Instead I was worried that you may worry about my box." "I had kept it safe and now I have brought it for you." "Didn't you open it even?" "How could I?" "It is your box, your food." "Will this train go?" " Yes." "I was searching for you only." " Me?" "Why?" "I have returned your box." "Isn't it?" "Yes." "But now, I want to give this box to you." "Empty it and give it to me in the evening." "There is food for you inside." "O.K. shall I go then?" "He hasn't come till now." "O.K. I will tell him." "Tomorrow you have a holiday, isn't it?" " No." "When do you get an off?" " Anytime." "As such, I am never in need of a holiday." "I won't mind even if I'm on duty day and night." "Where do you stay?" " Kalyan." "Kalyan is close by." "Is Kalyan is close by?" " Yes." "Igatpuri and Kasara are far away." "Do you always stand at the gate only?" "No." "I stand there just to chat with my friends." "I travel on long distance trains." "Perhaps, I may be on duty tomorrow and return after three days." "It is O.K. Atleast you will return after three days." "What do you mean?" "Where have you come from?" "From Poona." "My grandpa is there." "I have a brother and a sister." "What is your grandpa doing?" " He is a pensioner." "That is why I am working." "I have learnt shorthand and typing also." "And in Kurla?" " I have got a room." "Kurla has come." "Why don't you come and have a cup of tea and go by the next train?" "No, I will go now." " Please come." "Please sit down." "So, this is your room." "It is very big." "The rent must be pretty high." "Not much." "My Landlady is staying in my adjacent room." "Daily I have to keep her company in the evening." "Poor thing, she is all alone, so the rent is also less." "As I am away from my people, I feel depressed here." "Why don't you bring them also here?" "How can I manage then?" "They will be happy, if I send money from here." "There are 6 years more to complete brother's education." "Sister is also small." "So, you are the only earning member?" "Hey!" "I forgot to make tea." "What were you asking?" "Who all are there in your house?" "I have an Anna." " And...?" "No one else." "My mother's no more." "Since when are you with the Railways?" "Since three years." "But sometimes I feel, I am with Railways since years." "Since when are you growing this beard?" "Since my College days." "Why?" "Don't you like it?" "Yes, I like it." "Don't remove it." "Looks like this year monsoon will set in soon." "Look, how the sky is overcast." "Why do you have a fascination for V.T only?" "Because of this crowd and noise..." "The noise of coming and going trains, whistle..." "What have we to do with this noise?" "If 2 people meet in private, they become the talk of the town." "And in a crowd?" "In a crowd, people take us to be some travellers." "But it is difficult to even stand here." "If you get lost in yourself you will have no problem, then." "People will keep passing from your vicinity." "So, are we stones then?" "Not stones, but definitely we are machines." "O.K. Mr. Machine, have your coffee then." "I have to go home early." "I was lucky that I could clear my Inter." "Or else, I would still be appearing." "I would also never have come to Bombay." "Even if you would've come what could've happened?" "I would say that had there been no trains in Bombay we would never have met." "So, do you spend week after week on trains only?" "I swear,..." "Why?" " So many people are sitting here." "So what?" "So many pairs like us sitting here and there." "Are you really not scared?" " Why should I fear?" "Why should I fear to put my arms on your shoulder?" "Today, I wish to ask you something." "I too wanted to ask you something." "Then you ask me first." " No, you first..." "No you ask me first." " I'll ask you some other time." "What did you want to ask?" "I wanted to ask you about the beginning of our friendship." "Are you reminded of my dry bread?" "How could you think me to be so cheap?" "Will I remember your eyes or that dry bread?" "You seem offended." "Where am I all that rich?" "I divide my salary into two." "Half for Anna and the rest to spend with my friends." "But..." " Know, what I've thought of?" "What?" "I'll stop dividing my salary henceforth." "So start saving from this month." "From now on, I'll give it to you." "You're my L.I.C." "You never asked me, what you wanted to ask." "Leave it." "I'll ask you some other time." "No, ask me now." "Have you asked me, what you wanted to?" "It's like this Shalini that whenever I see my drooping shadow I'm able to see another one." "Sometimes it is my Anna's or at times mine." "Why does it happen so?" " Don't know." "These days, there are power failures daily." "You wait, I'll light a lamp." "It's getting late." "Let me go now." "O.K. You may go after eating your food." "As such, I'm not all hungry." "Have a little and go." "Look, I'll cook quickly." "It won't take even half an hour." "Come here." "This is a very beautiful place." "So serene..." "Yes." "Have you come here earlier?" " No." "You always like noise." "How come you brought me here today?" "Don't know." "I don't like crowds now-a-days." "I've lost my faith on trains and traffic noise." "You never told me about your parents." "I lost my mother and my papa..." "Tell me, why did you stop?" "I was very young when papa left home and went away." "Don't know why." "He, mother and grandpa always used to quarrel." "One day without telling anyone, he left our home." "Since that day, we have no news about him." "Someone told mother that he became a sage in Banaras." "Don't know, what was the reality." "I don't know." "And I didn't want to know also." "Mother used to stitch day and night." "Thus we grew up." "I only know this much that I'm also just like you." "Didn't you write to grandpa that we're coming to Poona?" "No." " Why?" "Just like that." "If I write to him, he'll come to receive us in the station." "I didn't want to trouble him." " Oh!" "I see..." "But have you written about me?" "No." "Afterall we are going there." "You can meet him there." "Shalu my child, come, come..." "You could've intimated me about your arrival." "Grandpa, he is Sanjay." "Please come in." "So Mr. Sanjay, where are you working?" "?" "He is also in L.I.C., grandpa." "Where are you staying in Bombay?" "Very close to my house, at Kurla." "Yes." "Very close to her." "Why did you tell lies to grandpa?" "Don't ask me anything now." "I'll tell you later." "O.K. I will go then." "Till when should I expect him?" "Don't know when he will return." "I had told you earlier itself that there is no fixed time for his return." "Sometimes, he doesn't return for a week also." "He only likes trains." "That is it." "These days, because of that girl, he hardly comes here." "Who is that girl?" "What is she doing here?" "I don't know much about her." "But, I know this much that she is working in L.I.C." "She is staying alone in Kurla." "Give the room keys to him." "You know that I'm always worried about you." "Keep writing letters frequently." "Please help this child, in times of need." "Next time, when you come here, do bring your wife also." "God bless you." "O.K. Namaskar, Mr. Sanjay." "What have you done like this?" "I never dreamt that it would happen like this." "I am helpless." " Why?" "Perhaps you're unaware... with me, he was taken aback." "I could clearly grasp his thoughts." "That's why, I didn't have the courage to say." "I've never mentioned this to you before." "When I got a job, grandpa was sobbing as he forcefully had to send me to work so that I could earn their bread." "I had given confidence to grandpa, not to worry about me." "At that time he had said while sobbing that "be away from marriage though you're of that age." "But for the sake of these small children I'm asking this of you." "Look, don't get married before the time is ripe." "Otherwise, we all will die of starvation"." "He had asked me to get acquainted with a decent man from my Office or from Kurla." "He said that it would be better if he is married so that he won't be a hindrance in my path of duty." "Then why did you come so close to me?" "When you were overburdened by your duty what was the need to be so frank with me?" "Man thinks of something but it happens the other way." "I thought that, you understand me." "How could you be disillusioned?" "The first day when you had eaten my dry bread I had thought that you took pity on my dry life." "But you had so much of problems on your head..." "If you keep weight on a fire does its heat perish?" "No, don't cry." "Here is your telegram." "Anna is sick." "He has no legs." "And who has no hands at all...?" "If you had not come, I would have gone back." "How could I not come?" "One who enjoys eating dry bread how could he leave you?" "Anna's telegram has come." "He is sick." "I am going today itself to Bhusawal." "Write about his health, as soon as you go there." "I will write." "I'll bring him along, if he is very sick." "Bring him here." "I'll nurse him personally." "Here?" "Bring Anna here?" "Anna you..." "Got my telegram that I am sick?" "Even then you have come two days late." "I was not in Bombay at all." "Where were you then?" " On duty." "I returned today morning and got your telegram." "How are you now?" "What was wrong with you?" "Nothing was wrong with me." "I was not sick at all." "Since when have you been on duty?" "Since 2-3 days. - Where were you staying?" "Kalyan." "How many rooms are there?" "One or two?" "One." " Lie" "Listen, you take leave for 15 days." "When you had not come here for six months I had been to Kalyan." "I came to know that you don't stay in the room but stay on trains." "I was waiting for you for 2 days there." "But why should you come there?" "I too have spent weeks on trains." "But train has become a home for you." "But Anna I..." "Shut up." "Go and have a bath." "Looks like you've not had a look in the mirror since ages." "Had your Akka been alive today would this have been your plight?" "Look at yourself and your hair." "I too have decided to reform your looks and your hair." "Try to recollect, 5 years ago Akka died on the same day." "Come on hurry up." "I've cooked food for you." "Come, sit down." "Ate your food properly?" "Yes." "Listen..." "I've fixed your marriage in Jalgaon." "Next Monday is your wedding." "You must be thinking about your leave." "Don't worry about that." "I've arranged for your leave." "But Anna..." "You must be worried that where will you stay in Bombay." "Don't worry about that too." "There was a vacant house in Ramwadi." "I've paid money and put my lock on it." "Your cot that was lying outside, I've put that inside now." "I've given the keys to Bhavu." "Your Anna has no legs." "At least you're standing on your legs." "You are a young man with a good job." "Now you have your own house also." "Your father-in-law is an old land owner in Jalgaon." "He has lots of fields, cattle, the girl is also nice." "But Anna, I..." "Now, if you wish that like your Akka, I too should die then do as you wish." "Is there a bridge again?" "Whether there's a bridge or not but now I must ask." "No I am not thirsty." "My thirst is to know, where have I come to." "The Mahabharaat (turmoil) going on within me till when will it continue?" "Can't we elope and go somewhere?" "Can't we elope and return back?" "Can we keep running forever?" "Is it necessary to know where we are going?" "I have no answer to these questions." "Perhaps, I have no way too." "The truth is that, the train had got derailed." "I had got a glimpse of a new life at Kurla." "A road without tracks." "I was slowly gaining courage to search my own paths." "But Anna, again dragged me back to the tracks." "You know that my daughter is everything for me." "Now, I am entrusting her with you." "I have groomed her up without a mother." "Pardon me, if there are any mistakes on my part." "Know that your father-in-law is giving you four buffaloes also as your dowry?" "Buffaloes?" " Yes." "But what will I do with them?" "Why?" "How much income can be obtained with them." "I...buffaloes..." "You must be thinking that who will take care of them." "Don't worry about that." "I will arrange for that also." "What is this, ate so little and you are getting up?" "I have eaten enough." "Can't eat anymore." "You have hardly eaten." "Come on, eat this also." "You are not used to eating properly." "Which oil do you apply on your head?" "Coconut oil, why?" "I will buy a perfumed oil for you tomorrow itself." "Apply that only." "No, I feel nauseatic with such oils." "Have you ever fallen in love?" "What do you mean?" "That Bhavu, who is your neighbour and a goods clerk was saying that you were roaming after a girl." "What else did he say?" " Forget about what he said." "But was she very beautiful?" "I have heard in Jalgaon that in Bombay you get girls on hourly basis." "What are you saying?" " Why do you get annoyed?" "Does he have so much of work daily?" "What work?" "He only likes to stay on trains." "To eat and sleep on trains and on train..." "Finished your duty just now?" "What is the problem?" "Is it that you always stay with that girl?" "With whom?" "Swear on me that you never think of her." "I can think about anyone." "So what?" "I am working on a train." "Daily I see thousands of girls." "Then, send me to Jalgaon." "So that you could make a laughing stock of me there?" "But why do you get carried away by other's words?" "So, am I bad?" " Did I ever say so?" "That way, he is my friend and a nice man." "But keep him under your control." "Or else, he will again fall in love with someone." "O.K. I will go now." " O.K." "What do you keep talking with Bhavu?" "Anything, why?" "I have never asked you about your personal things." "What do you mean?" " Nothing." "He was saying that she is a cheap girl." "I am any day better than her." "How long are you going to harp on the same strings?" "I have shirked her like a dust on my dress." "So, am I a dust on your clothes?" "When did I say so?" "Let me see, how you shirk me." "Come on, let me see you shirking me." "Why don't you shut up?" "Remaining quiet, I have finished reading stories of Swami Ramdas." "How long should I keep quiet?" "I swear on Saibaba, try shirking me." "Have the buffaloes come?" "..." "No." "Don't worry." "I came to know long ago." "So what, if you are married?" "You had not made any promises with me." "Initially, I was waiting for you." "Later on, I stopped expecting you." "Yes, if ever you come towards Kurla then please come and take back your money." "Good that you have come now only." "Take this money of yours." "This is your paid up policy." "Shalini, will you pardon me?" "Will you pardon yourself?" "No." "Then, what is the use of my pardoning?" "Life doesn't move on one's pardoning or excuses." "But Shalini, I am entangled in a puddle." "This is your personal problem, Sanjay." "But you..." "Don't worry about me." "My skin is slowly getting thickened" "Don't say like that Shalini." "When you met me, the colour of the sky was blue." "My footsteps had become rapid." "I had started looking into a mirror." "I can't even raise my head to look at you." "All this is due to me." " Because of you?" "Only one thing is lost." "Do you remember I had told you while returning from Poona that I am scared of sages?" "Because amidst them, my father may be there." "I am scared of a sewing machine Because my mother died while stitching on it all her life." "I am scared to see the blue coloured sky." "I have told you also that, I wanted to become someone but I was forced to become someone else." "I had wanted a long road." "Instead I got these iron roads where directions are pre-decided and you've to walk according to instructions." "I am tired of everything." "I still feel as thought you, like that day on train..." "I am not the same one." "Now, my road is different." "I am that same Sanjay." "But I am no longer the same Shalini." "But after seeing you..." " This is your imagination." "Can we have a cup of tea together?" "No." "Look, the signal has been given." "What should I presume from this?" "When a signal is given, what does that mean?" "Again a journey?" "Whenever I was restless and unable to answer questions I have found a moving train as my only support." "Don't know, why I feel that this running speed alone is true." "The rest are all lies." "It is a unique cycle." "Run, and run again..." "While reforming with one wrong move everything has gone wrong." "That is right also." "A wrong beginning has a bad end only." "But it is happening reverse with me." "After I pass a place, that place becomes standstill." "Questions keep arising." "I thought that when I go to sleep with my blanket I will find the world also go into a slumber with me." "Mornings, afternoons and evenings will pass over me." "When I will get down at my destination I may be ahead of my thoughts or behind them." "A thought ahead or behind." "But, now I should ask someone where have I reached now?" "The Bombay Varanasi Express which was late by 5 hours is arriving on Platform No.4." "Have any luggage?" "Pardon me sir." "From where have you come sir?" "Where am I going?" "No need to ask this." "Don't know, when I will return back." "Don't try to search for me." "Have you come from Bombay?" "Did you alight the train just now?" "Had your bath?" "This is Banaras." "Beware of this place." "Be away from pomp, show and sages." "Do you stay in Banaras?" "My name is Sanjay Shinde." "I am working for the Railways." "I have come from Bombay." "It is a very long journey." "Do you like that picture?" "Indeed it is good from the top to the bottom." "Wow!" "Banaras is indeed wonderful." "There are Ghats, there is Ganga." "Any means of entertainment here..." "I mean..." "Your name?" " Call me by any name." "That way people here call me as Sitara." "And my name?" " Don't mention that." "How did you like Banaras?" " Banaras?" "Yes, this city of cities, Banaras." "Let this city be Banaras or Amritsar." "I had boarded a train." "When the train stopped, I found that I was in Banaras." "You mean you go anywhere without any goal?" "What is there to laugh in this?" "Just like that." "People who come here know before hand where they want to go." "And you are one..." "Why don't you remove your shoes and sit comfortably?" "Yesterday, you were overjoyed seeing my dance number." "You had thrown ten rupees at me." "What do you wish to say?" "What will you pledge on me now?" "I will give myself to you." "If ever you come to know that I am not the one as I look..." "I will have no objection then." "Even if you say that you are married it won't bother me." "Even if you have a lover, I am not concerned with her." "If you say that you are going to die tomorrow then who am I to stop you?" "But why are you so unconcerned about things?" "Because I am much above all these, so  I am unconcerned about them." "Today I am wishing for a special thing." "Whatever is there, it is before you now." "Then what is that special thing?" "Give me a word." " O.K." "Today, you will not put out the light in the room." "You will not hang a dark curtain before me." "Why?" " I have more than Rs.100/-." "Take away all that money and give me brightness." "But, I..." " You have given me a word." "What have you done?" "You had given me a word." "Corpse..." "What is the matter?" "Were you scared?" "No." "Nothing." "Just got a bad dream." "Go to sleep." "I am in the adjacent room." "Call me, if you need my help." "Again I am starting my my journey from Banaras, back to my home." "Man returns back only after all roads have closed on him." "Have you come back?" "When did you return?" "Did you come by the morning train?" "How could you run away like this?" "I am doing all this for your sake only." "I am an old man." "I am alive today." "Who knows about tomorrow?" "Are you still in her thoughts?" "What is the matter?" "You are not drinking your tea also." "Where were you all these days?" "Varanasi." " Where is that?" "It is at Kashi." " Went there for some work?" "No" " Then?" "I was fed up of this place." "Fed up of me?" " No." "Then?" " With nobody." "Nearly Rs.500/-, monthly, we get with these buffaloes." "Rs.50" "But here, I am there for that." "So that money is also saved." "If you wish, you can save some money from your salary." "This place behind Ramwadi... ..we can purchase that place." "Then we can have our own place." "Suppose in 2-3 years, 4 buffaloes become 8, you can leave your job, if you wish." "Move away..." "Get up my dear." "Give my breakfast." "Are you alright?" " What?" "Are you alright?" "Will you have your food now or later?" "No." " Why?" "Just like that." "So, has she broken your heart?" "What?" "Why didn't you take her with you there?" "You could've taken her along." "There are lots of mosquitoes here." "Good that you have come back." "Return?" " Yes." "Have not you returned?" "No." " Then?" "I have come running away from there." "What did you do there, that you came running here?" "What was wrong here that I ran away?" "You did not like my love." "Started again..." "Said something?" " No." "I have returned disillusioned that I could start from the beginning again perhaps my wife is slowly getting transformed into a buffalo." "Slowly this house may become a dairy farm." "Perhaps we may eat their grass and fodder one day." "Who is it?" " Me." "You?" "Yes, it is me, Sanjay." "Please sit down." "You need not get scared of me." "Now I have become matured." "Just as we remove the thorn from our leg and throw likewise, I have thrown my fear out." "Good that you have returned." " Returned?" "I can never return back." "I don't know the trick to return back." "I have come running." " Running?" "I ran away from Kalyan to Banaras." "From there I came running to Kalyan." "From Kalyan, I have come running to Kurla, now." "No." "Now I don't want to go anywhere, running." "I am tired of running." "I will make tea for you." "That day, you must have got angry with me." "So what?" "Fist tell me, were you annoyed or not?" "I don't know." "To tell the truth, the day I came to know that you have come from Bhusawal after getting married I thought of teaching you a lesson." "Thought of marrying the first man, I saw outside and tell my husband that..." " Why did you stop?" "I had told you that nothing happens with anger." "You definitely become strong." "So you are strong now, isn't it?" "Yes." "So, shall we decide tomorrow?" "Decide?" " Yes." "O.K. Come to the station tomorrow at 5 P.M." "I will wait for you there." "Let us decide there itself." "I had said wrongly that we have to decide." "Now I have neither to run or to return." "Now I don't wish to reach anywhere." "I just wish to walk."
