"I thought I will go early today, but I am late today as well." "It's alright..." " Give it to me." "The way things are going you will reach there and find that the milk-van hasn't reached yet." "Mother, give me Ranju's tea." "Take some biscuits as well." " He doesn't like to eat anything in the morning." " Bring it here once." "I forgot to add sugar."

"You know he didn't forget anything." "He said..." "Your father did so much for me when he was alive, so why can't I do this much for you!" "Uncle Shekhar arranged everything so well that..." "The interview is now just a matter of formality." "Do you know what the salary will be?" "You will get the double of what you are getting now." "Happy?" "Wrong." "It's even more than that."

"It's quite difficult." "This knot is giving me a huge trouble." "Turn it again." " Here it is." "Yes." " Ok." " And do it one more time." "Oh God!" " Just one more time." "Sister, I can't do it." "This is not my cup of tea." "You just can't give up so easily." "Give it to me." "Take it." " Let me see if I can tie it." "Oh God!" "It's no wrinkled." "It's just a rehearsal." "I will manage it there." "Will you manage it?" " Yes." "I will tie it properly." " Hold it." "Wait." "I will tie it on me." " Ok." "Tie it." "You are good at all these things." "And do not worry about the tie." "You know Dilip, don't you?" "My friend Dilip." "I will get one from him." "He has a great collection." "Really a great collection." "Is it done?" " Almost." "Wait a minute." " You are also just like me." " No." "Dilip's uncle also has a great collection." "And here it is." "Look here." "So..." "You will learn it soon." "See this." "Sister, you are genius." " Now get up." "Get up." "Get up." "Stand here." "It's a hot country." "These things are not needed here." "Tie this." "Tie that." "Get a noose."

"In the coming days I will work day and night, in my vests." "First-class." "Great." "Sister, the tie-problem is solved." "The hair isn't done yet." "It's not needed." "Sister, arrange my shoes." "Get it polished by the cobbler across the road." "I will give you the shoes." "The sole." "Will it be necessary?" " Ranju." " Coming." "Take it." "You asked me for a pair of socks." " Fine." "I too have a pair of socks." "It's just a stand-bye." "What's this!" "What have you done!" "I am becoming a foreigner." "Mother, my black shoes." " I'm taking it out." "What are you doing there?" " They are in this box." "In the box?" " Yes." "You never wear them." "If we keep the shoes outside, they would've gone ruined." "So you kept the shoes in the box?" " Yes." "Come here and help me out." "I am unable to open it." "Can we open it here?" "Move aside." "Move aside." "What do you want to do?" " I will take it out." "Ok, you hold it that way." "I will hold it this way." "Keep it down." "Oh God!" " So mother, you kept the shoes inside it?" "Yes." " To protect them, so that they shouldn't get ruined." "You are a master of sarcasm." "But when you are in trouble you don't go to anyone except your mother." "It's surprising." "What have you done!" "No one can get anything useful here." "I didn't ask you to search anything." "I am doing it." "Let me search it." "It was right here." " You won't get it." "You won't get anything here." "It's my concern if I will get it or not." "You may go." "Do not trouble me." "It's sufficient for you if you get the shoes, right?" " No, it's not enough." "Leave this place." " It's surprising." "You turned the entire house into a dustbin with all this..." "Move aside." " What are you doing, Ranjit!" "Not even a single word." "Move aside." " What are you doing!" "Ranjit, what are you doing!" "What are you doing!" "Do you want to break them or what!" "I will sell them." " I won't let you sell anything." "I will sell them..." "No, it's a good plate." "What are you doing!" "Ranju!" "What are you doing, Ranju!" "Can't you do all these things later on?" "I won't let you turn this house into a dustbin." "What rubbish are you talking!" "Mother, leave him." "Let him do whatever he wants to." "Bottle." "Box." "Box." "Tin." "Here's my shoe." "Mother, did you see your son's attitude?" "Even before he got the job." "No, I think you can't control your son now." "I need not." "I need not control him anymore." "If the girl who should control him controls him well..." "Listen, does Bulbul know..." "What!" " What else?" "About today's matter..." "Does she know that?" "About what?" "About what?" "I am talking about your job." "You want to hear it again and again, right?" "Mother, take out my dye-cleaning bill of Band Box." "I have to bring my clothes after shaving." "What's the matter you didn't say anything!" "Does she know about it?" "Sister, did you again cut the pencil with my blade?" "How would I know that it's your blade?" " You don't know that?" "You are kidding me?" "Sister, what's wrong with you!" "I pay for these blades and you waste them in this way..." "Alright." "Alright." "I will buy you another blade." "As if it's not some blade, but it's gold or something." "Sister, don't talk rubbish." "Listen to me." "There's a shop across the road." "You'll get a blade there." "You can buy one from there if you wish." "Just don't touch my blade." "That's all." "Ranju, I'm not getting the bill." " Oh God!" "What happened?" "Did you get it?" "It's a small slip. 'Band Box' is written on it in bold letters." "A full suit and I guess there was a shirt as well." "Yes, I got it, but did you really give me the bill?" "Mother, I give all the laundry bills to you, do I not?" "Yes, you are right." " Whenever I need them I take the bill from you, do I not?" " That's true, but..." "So you are saying that you gave me the bill?" "So you lost it?" " Why would I lose it?" "It must be somewhere." "But you are getting them." " I keep all the slips here." "It's not here." "That means you lost it." " No." "Why would I lose it?" "You didn't take it, did you?" " No." "Then where has it gone?" "O mother!" "Will you please change your habit of putting all the slips here!" " Ranju, behave yourself!" "As if no one else does a job." "The bill's more than three-month old." "What's the big deal if it's lost!" "If we don't get that bill, we won't get the clothes from the laundry, did you get me!" "And if I don't get them..." "God!" "It's a foreign company." "We have to look smart." "Smartness is the real thing." "Here it is." "When were you supposed to bring your clothes?" "I was about to bring them before three months." "This wouldn't have happened if you brought them on time." "But where would I keep them?" "Where's the place?" "There are insects all over here." "Here it is." "Wasn't I checking properly all this while?" "Here it is." "What's going on!" "What's going on!" " Sir, it's not her mistake, it's mine." "You might be a bit puzzled, am I right?" "Look, I won't hide anything from you." "The photo that are you are Looking at in the magazine is mine." "Yes." "But you were staring at me in such a way that I was feeling a bit..." "Look, I am not an actor." "I am not a star." "I am really not a star." "My name is Ranjit Mallick." "I work in a weekly newspaper." "I live in Bhavanipur." "It's a small job." "Proof-reading." "From proof-reading to almost everything that happens in the press, even getting advertisements." "Mine is quite an uneventful life." "And Mr. Mrinal Sen..." "The person who makes movies he liked it a lot." "He told me that he will follow me with his camera from dawn to dusk..." "Tell me does it really make any sense?" "He said that I need not do anything special." "I just need to do be myself." "Just imagine." "I told Mr. Mrinal Sen that I was about to go to an interview for a prestigious job." "Yes, today itself." "He heard it and said fine!" "Lt'll be a good story." "You didn't understand it?" "Things will get a bit interesting with me in it." " Cut." "Did you see them?" "How they are running!" "Anyway, they have left." "Ok, I shall tell you something." "Whatever you saw till now is not completely real." "I am real." "I am going on a tram." "That's real." "You saw my photo." "That's also real." "And the matter regarding my interview is completely real." "And you saw my mother..." "She's not my mother." "She's an actress." "You asked me to bring Mother Lakshmi's photo." "See this." "I got it framed." "And see this." "A sari for Durga." "See this." "What's there to worry about!" "In this condition what my mother would've done she is also doing the same." "But trust me I am my mother's child." "I am just my natural self." "And she's my sister." "She got married an year ago but her husband abandoned her." "He's a horrible person." "Just horrible." "And these days he's having an affair with..." "Anyway, leave it." "I am in a hurry." "I have to go to press." "I haven't given up my job yet." "I have some responsibilities." "Did you get me!" "Ok, goodbye." "What's this!" "Do you call this cinema?" "This is my story." "This is your story." "Long live..." " Revolution!" "Long live..." " Revolution!" "Long live..." " Revolution!" "Long live..." " Revolution!" "Long live..." " Revolution!" "Long live..." " Revolution!" "Long live..." " Revolution!" "In the year 1961 when the communist party was divided in two parts my father has died in that particular year." "Before his death, in deep agony he said that after whatever has happened even after 25 years." "Today is the last day." "Did you get me!" "I am getting a great job." "You didn't say anything?" "It's a great thing." "You will get a tip." "Go." "Go away." "Things took a drastic turn in just five years." "History will take its own course." "There will be revolution." "Someone is fearful of this revolution..." "Mithu." "See this." "Read this news." "The president of the Calcutta laundry union is announcing it in deep regret that in protest of the terrible treatment meted out to the employees from tomorrow morning..." " That means from today." "...we are calling for a strike for indefinite time." "What will happen now?" "Why are you laughing, Mithu!" "Does anyone laugh like that!" "It will do?" "It will do?" "Mother, see this." "Father's..." "It's too big for him." "Leave it." "Get lost." "Great." "It's a bit loose, isn't it?" " Yes." "Shall I stitch it a bit?" "You are impossible." " Shall I?" "Mother, father has a paunch here." "I am telling you." "It's too big for you." "Mother, why are you trying so hard!" "It's too big for him." "Leave me." "Mother, father had another trouser, didn't he?" "It's a bit older." " Yes, a grey-colored trouser." "At that time father didn't have a big paunch." "Yes, I will bring it." " Bring it." "Now try another one." "Look, dear." "The trouser that he is bringing came here even before my birth." " So what!" "I'm telling you, if you wear that to the interview you won't get the job." "Trust me." "It's coming." "Check it." "Ranju, see this." "The color's great, isn't it?" "Your father was also very fond of this trouser." "You are just wasting time." "It's too big." "No." "It won't do." "You are the reason behind all the trouble." "You are troubling him since morning and spoiled his mood." "Mother, is there any use in screaming like that?" "Can't we solve the problem by thinking about it with a cool head?" "I think instead of going there wearing father's dress..." "Instead of going there wearing father's dress..." "Yes, you have Dhoti-Punjabi." "You can wear that to your interview." "And also he looks good in that." "Dhoti." "Punjabi." "He has a cotton Dhoti." "Doesn't he, mother?" " Handloom Punjabi won't do." "No." "No." "It's a foreign company." "Do you know that?" "But you are a Bengali person, aren't you?" "Mother, forget all that Bengali crap." "It's not a matter of Bengali." "And also it's not your son's wedding." "Did you get me?" "And it's an office and I am going to an interview." "These people are really strange." "Didn't they get some other time to strike!" "You have a number of friends." "You aren't unable to arrange a suit?" " Yes, it's a good idea." "Try somewhere." "There's Dilip." "There's Ashok." "See if they can..." "Just a second." "Hello!" "478899." "It's Anjana?" "When did you return?" "And you didn't call me?" "Working?" "No." "I have been taking rest all this while." "And you went on tour." "Did you make any sketches?" "So many of them?" "You are a genius." "But no matter whatever you say, I hate seas." "I prefer still life." "She didn't tell us anything about it and suddenly one day she gave us the shock of the lifetime." "Anjana, can you believe that a girl like Sudishtna can fall in love with someone?" "Yes, she married him." "Just a second." "No, I didn't say that to you." "It's Ranjit." "What?" "Yes, but still it's too long." "You saw him once." "I introduced you to him once." "Just a second." "Let me tell him about you." "It's Anjana." "She's studies with me in Arts college." "Tall." "Transparent." "And her color is..." "I wouldn't say fair, but her eyes are very..." "Soft-spoken." "You know, Anjana, Ranju is getting a bit irritated." "Yes, I made him wait for a long time." "Ok, then, we can talk later on." "Yes, right." "I prefer still life." "God!" "It was a long conversation." "What can I do?" "She doesn't leave me." "It could hear from only one side." "She called me after a long time." " She wasn't here." "Yes, she went to Puri on a trip." " So..." "I am sorry." "How did I act?" " God!" "I got scared." "Can't I become a film-star?" " Absolutely Uttam Kumar." "So what were you saying..." " Yes, what was I saying?" "You got a job." "After that..." "Flat." " Flat?" "Shouldn't I buy a new flat?" "You will leave the old house?" " Immediately." "After that?" " Then we will shift to that house." "After that?" " I will decorate the flat." "After that?" " After that?" "No." "Now you tell me." "Me?" "I will plant some plants." "Flower plants." "After that?" " And then I will destroy everything that you decorated." " Oh God!" "Why?" "I'll have to decorate them from the beginning." "What!" " Everything will be latest." "Latest?" "Money?" " We will get." "From where?" " Richardson  co." "Bogus." "I can't wear that traditional 'topor'." "Never." "Hello!" "478899." "Yes." "What happened?" "Yes." "Yes." "What?" "Who?" "Kalyan?" "The coat's torn?" " It's not torn." "It's just a small cut." "I went there straight from your place." "Some insect bites at a couple of places." "Best." "Prominent." "If it was for some other place it wouldn't have been a problem but I am going to such a place where dress is of primary importance." "Yes." "Yes." "I completely forgot it." "It's quite possible." "He must have one." "Can you give me his number?" "Just a minute." "I will give you his number." "Note it down." "Sanjay Sen. It was here." "Yes, it's here." "Sanjay Sen. It's a doctor's number." "Yes, there's one more number." "Sanjay Sen!" "No." "It's at Ballygunge Circle road." "How would you get his name?" "Telephone is in his grandfather's name." "I don't know." "I don't know his grandfather's name." "There's another option." "I can go straight to his house." "No, there's no need for his number." "I know where he lives." "I have to take the right turn..." "On the second floor of the white building." "It's gone." "I came to meet Sanjay." "Sanjay Sen." "It seems that your electric line is not working." "They are not here." "They left the house a week ago." "You can come at evening and take their address from my son." "Great." "Great." "Trust me, it will be great." "We weren't getting any idea till now." "We had a strong tea and that's it." "Tapan, do you really think that the problem will be solved?" "It's already solved." " But isn't his waist bigger than mine?" "No." "It's not." "I asked you to bring water." "Firstly it's not true and secondly if it doesn't fit you then we will try his father's or his father's uncle's." "Why are you talking like a fool!" "Why are you bring his father and grandfather into this!" "Because there is a reason." "Because his family is a foreign family." "They don't wear anything other than coat-pant." "And also there are a number of gents in their family." "Among so many waists if one waist doesn't fit you then you have to understand that you are not destined to get this job." "Now get up." "Get up." "Do you have money?" " Yes." " Fine." "Taxi!" "Look, Tapan, we are going to Nilankar..." "But we didn't meet him since a long time." "I am feeling a big awkward." " What's there to be awkward!" "You don't have a suit and he has a suit." "That's why you are going there." "That's all." "We are going to him for just an ordinary suit..." "Ordinary?" "Ordinary suit?" "Your future depends on this suit." "Did you get me!" "And listen, if you can't maintain friendships at least you can touch them once in a while." "Great." "Hello, Mr. Mallick!" "How do you do?" "Really!" "It looks really great on you." " It's not great." "It's ok." "No, sir." "It suits you better than it suits anyone else." "Get up." "Get up." "What's wrong with you!" "You have completely changed." "But you didn't change at all." "It will be for your benefit if you change yourself." "Listen, first you get this job, then I'll take you to our tailor." "I will get you some suits stitched." "They will look great on you." "They will look great on you." "Didn't I bring him to the right place?" "I know you well." "What are you doing!" "Leave me." "Stop kidding." "Tapan's just..." "Hey, I want to make a call from your telephone to Bulbul." "Hello!" "Hello!" "Yes, I am Ranjit speaking, from Nilankar's home." "Yes, I got it." "No, his suit didn't fit me." "It's his brother's suit." "Yes, it's great." "Where?" "Museum?" "At the museum?" "But why museum?" "No." "No." "You will draw sketches there." "Oh God!" "You have to draw sketches today itself?" "The place is quite good." "Ok." "Alright." "Ok." "At 3 O' clock the interview will be over." "Then at 4 O' clock..." "Ok, I will reach there at 4 O' clock." "At 4 O' clock." "At 4 O' clock?" "You said 4 O' clock?" "Alright." " What!" "You will also go there?" "Ticket." " One ticket to Bhavanipur." " Esplanade." "And one ticket to Esplanade." "Dude, you got the job." "Don't forget about me." "It's a foreign company." "That's why I am telling you." "Let me get the job first." " What's this!" "You've started singing the wrong tune right from the beginning?" "Let me get the job first." " What's that!" "You said that you got the job." " Let me settle there first." "You can settle there in just two days." "No matter whatever you say the suit's just great." "And listen, he said that he would take you to the tailor." "Get a suit stitched for you." "Did you get me?" "Do you know, Ranju, seven months have gone waste!" "The union hasn't give up but I don't think there will a result any time soon." "That's why I was telling you to keep me in mind." "My stop is here." "Hold it." "It's ironed." "And yes, remember my qualification." "School final." "And typing speed is 45." "Ok, goodbye." "Scoundrel." "Yes, tell me where..." "Where were you standing?" " Inside the bus." "You were standing inside the bus?" "And where was your purse?" " In my shirt-pocket." "It was in your shirt-pocket." " Listen, I have an interview." "I have to go now." " Just a minute." "Listen..." " Just a minute." "Where did this incident take place exactly?" "Just after Elgin road." " After Elgin road." "After the bus-stop." "Sit there for a while." "Tell me what happened." "Were you in the bus?" " Yes, I'm the one who caught him."

"If you please let me go..." " Just a minute." "Just a minute." "I have an interview." " Let me note everything down." "Let us observe our formalities, or else the case will be..." "You can see the purse has been stolen..." "Now since you came here to help him out please wait for some time more." "Why did you come back to this area again!" "I didn't pick his pocket." " You didn't pick his pocket?" "Then this person caught you for no reason?" "He has differences with me." "I was standing at the gate..." "He has differences with you as you were standing at gate so he got you arrested." " He got me arrested." "Stop talking rubbish and tell me who else was with you." "Sir, I was..." " Who else was with you?" "No one else." " How much money was there in it?" "I was standing at the gate and he..." "What did you think of yourself!" "What did you think!"
