"Removing both the eyes..!" "?" " That's why you were hiding from me?" "We want Parashuraam." "Another doctor said we could try?" " Try what?" "To save at least one eye." " l have talked to Dr Sane." "Checked all the reports. lt is the only way to save Parashuram." "How can that be a way?" "There is no other alternative." "Who says so?" "Dr Sane has that much authority." "How can I believe that?" "I also am attached to Parashuram" "Just like you are." "I have been trying to find you." "You weren't at the hotel at night." "In the morning, you had left already." "How can I tell this to his mother?" "Even she would want Parashuram to survive no matter what." "Can't there be another way?" "No." "But then.. afterwards.." "how will he..." "He can have a great life even without eyes." "We have to work on that." "That means..!" "Think about it calmly." "Close your eyes." "Walk for 2 minutes." " l will after 2 days of practice." "What about the whole life?" " You are only creating questions." "Parasha.." "Parashuraam.." "This is going on since yesterday." "Doesn't answer if someone calls or asks anything." "Yes dear.." "What's up?" "Did you see the kids playing here?" "Should we play with them?" "Let's join them come on!" "Kids stare at his eyes." "I have brought something that Parashuraam would like." "Do you know what it is?" "Don't touch your eyes with dirty hands." "Don't you have a kerchief?" "He has it in his pocket." " Where?" "I want to see it." "Parasha, be a good boy." "Don't run." "You will get hurt." "Parasha, don't you want to get well?" "He doesn't listen to anyone." "He is going to do this more and more." "You need face this with a smile." "That will keep him cheerful." "Remember what Dr. Sane said, saving Parasha is most important." "I know all that, but How can I tell him?" "Oh Lord Shankara, please help me." "Show me a way." "Do something please!" "How is that patient from Satara?" " Stable sir!" "Monitor him." "See you at 5." " Ok sir!" "Just a minute sir!" " Yes?" "Your patient Parashuram Vichare." " The one with Retino-Blastoma?" "Yes."

"Yes sir but saving the eyes.." " l am getting late, got to go." "Sir, please listen to me sir." "There could be complications." " How?" "They are going for second opinion, which may affect their decision." "It happens." "Eventually they all come to me." "The risk is bigger by then and they beg me to save the patient." "I agree sir!" "but...." "Why do they go for second opinion?" "Because they can't trust the doctor." "Please.." "I have a surgery." "I have to go." "Please Understand." " Sir, please sir!" "What's the matter, Grandpa?" "Look.." "There is no option for surgery that too both the eyes." "I will not charge a single penny." "But there is no other way." "Don't listen to anybody else." "We have to act now." "You have to be firm." "Can I leave now?" "Parashuram will not lose a single day from his life." "Don't think too much." "Make the decision soon." "The longer you wait, the risk is more." "If you come after 6 months or so I won't be able to do anything." "When can we do the operation?" "Soon." "Come to the clinic. I will get the papers ready." "He cannot tell this to Parashuraam." "But you will have to.., before the operation." "Please, I need your help sir!" "Why involve me again?" "You are well trained." "You do it." "I tried, but it's not that easy." " Try again." "Grandpa, you try to tell him." "That's sir's car!" "You told me to come here." " Ok." "Tell me." "I have brought Parashuram with me." " Why?" "You tell him sir!" " Tell him what?" "About the surgery." " But.." "Sir, please talk to him..." "What do I do now?" "We are short of time." " l need to go for a surgery." "Grandpa. come here fast." "He is in a hurry." "Shouldn't you create this support?" " Their decision is final sir." "When do they want to schedule it?" " Please talk to him sir." "When can you admit the patient into the hospital?" "Whenever you say." "You decide and let me know." "Tomorrow!" "Does the boy know?" "What difference does it make?" "No, You have to tell him." "I will see what happens." "Asawari, shouldn't you be trying to help them?" "I tried sir, but I need your help in this case." "Grandpa, you are very well aware of his nature, his likes and dislikes" "You know him from birth." " That is why it is hard for me." "Parashuram, come here!" "Fast!" "Ask doctor uncle," "Why doesn't he give any medicine?" " Why don't you give any medicine?" "Asawari, what is this?" " Tell him sir, please tell him!" "Ask doctor uncle, when will I get better?" "Parasha, look here!" "Look here!" "Ask doctor uncle, when will I get better?" "Doctor uncle, when can I go to school?" "How can this man answer these questions?" "is your decision final?" "Yes.. there is no other alternative right?" "I told you in the morning." "What is this?" " lt's a seat belt." "Parashuram, come." "Let him go." "He doesn't have time. come!" " Ok I will try." "I will try talking to him." "Thank you sir!" "I can't do this alone." "You are more used to dealing with patients." "Ok Parashuram, let him go." " Be a good boy!"
