Or there'll be acute anemia

and he can't breathe.

He'll hardly live for

4 to 6 months.

Sir, one Mr Anand Sehgal

has arrived.

Anand from Delhi. He was

going to come tomorrow.

Send him inside.

- Where will he stay?

I've made arrangements here.

He's Trivedi's best friend.

He'll stay for 3 to 4

months and leave.

As long as he's here

we'll have to...

Friend...

- Hello, friend.

I told you we'd meet again,

didn't l?

Sit down.

- I heard you're married.

How's your wife?

- Very fine.

Any junior, senior...

- Not yet.

You've been married

for 3 years and...

You don't have

a compounder yet...

Go and consult Trivedi.

- How's Tirvedi?

His family planning is on.

2 is more than enough.

What about his children?

- His children?

Yes, two plus three that's

five which is enough.

Anand, meet Dr Bhaskar

Banerjee.

Babumushai. Girls called

you Babumushai in college.

Dr Trivedi told me everything.

I've heard that many girls

had a crush on you.

Anand, you were supposed

to come tomorrow.

It's a habit with me.

When I was born

the doctor had advised...

I'd be born on the

21st but I came early.

If the doctor mentions

the date of my death...

I'll die early.

I've kept my property

in your office.

My suitcase and a

tape recorder.

I've got clothing

but no bed.

Don't worry, your bed is

ready in the cabin above.

You can stay here.

I was showing your

X-Ray to Dr Banerjee.

Oh, my film show was

being held here.

Hey Babumushai, what

did you find?

I'll inform Trivedi,

don't worry about it.

lt concerns me...

why shouldn't I worry?

What do you want to know?

- Tell me the disease.

What will you achieve

by knowing.

I won't, but tell me.

If I tell you, you've

got Lymphocercoma...

What will you understand?

- What? Repeat it.

Lymphocercoma of

the intestine.

Splendid! What a name!

Sounds like a Viceroy's name.

What a great disease.

You're a great doctor,

Babumushai.

Lymphocercoma of the

lntestine.

lt sounds like an

announcement on radio.

If women were suffering

from this disease...

it would sound like she's

adopted an English Baby.

This is no joke. Do you know

the meaning of Lymphocercoma.

Do the meaning of

this disease?

There's a dreadful tumor

in my stomach...

and I won't live for more

than 6 months.

Maybe that's the medical

name for it.

But why are you angry

all of a sudden?

I understand. You're not

angry with me but yourself...

because I can't be cured.

So much love is not good.

Can I examine you once?

- Why? What's wrong with me?

Give me your hand.

- The pulse is here.

No chance. What's your age.

- Thirty.

Thirty. If you minus 30 from

100, what remains?

Seventy.
