Seventy. You won't live for

more than seventy.

Do you know what's

your problem.

Your body is

deteriorating slowly.

What do you mean?

What's the difference

in 70 years and 6 months.

Death comes in a second.

But in these 6 months I'll

live every moment.

Babumushai, life should be

great... not long.

If you're scared of death...

What's the essence of death?

As long as I'm alive,

I'm not dead.

When I'm dead,

I'm not there.

So why be scared of death?

I'm sorry, Mr Anand.

Babumushai, life is short and

time is fleeting...

We've to live fast.

and be quick...

At least cut down

on the respects.

What's your opinion.

- Fine, he'll do that...

Sister, there's a cabin

above. Take him there...

I'll be coming along.

Anand, you'll be examined

in two days.

Sure. This is the

only examination...

in which the one who gives

is not studying...

but the one who

takes it has to.

Forgive me. Trivedi had

warned me not to joke with you...

but what could I do?

It's a habit.

Bhaskar, he knows he's dying...

Yet he's so lively and...

Maybe that's why he...

What do you think?

Can something be done?

- Nothing, the disease is such...

Until secondary manifestation,

we can't detect anything.

But by then it's too late.

Nothing can be done.

Keep the things here.

If you need anything more,

ring the bell.

Where are you going?

- I'm on duty.

But who'll take care of me?

- I will, don't worry.

Let's sit and talk.

I'm all alone.

Are you scared of

being alone?

No, I'm not. But I want

to someone to talk to.

You can do one thing.

There's a mirror there...

Sit in front of it and talk.

I've tried that. It's boring.

Our Matron will be

coming now, meet her.

She's very sweet.

What are you doing here?

- I was in the cabin...

Don't you know the

visiting hours?

No. I don't.

You can't meet any patient

before 4 o' clock.

And if I want to meet

the doctor?

Go to the office.

You'll know the rules.

Can't we break them sometimes?

All right, but why should

we break rules?

Anand what are you

doing here?

Everyone who comes

here is asking this.

ls this a hospital

or a school?

A teacher asked

the same question.

Now the headmaster.

Doctor, there is no

patient in the cabin.

The patient is very

naughty sister.

You'll have to use a cane

to look after him.

Anand, meet our matron,

Mrs D'sa.

Sister, he's our patient... Anand.

Come, sister. Let's go

to the cabin.

Come in, sister. Please be

seated. So you're the matron.

I heard you talk a lot.

- Shut up.

ls this how you talk?

Didn't you hear me?

Lie down quietly.

One can't die quietly, sister...

we must make a sound.

ln 24 hours, we spend

8 hours sleeping...
