Devdas Page #4

How many seconds to a day?

- I know, I'll tell you...

You're bad at arithmetic

There were times when I missed you.

- When...?

Whenever I breathed

For them, reminiscences,

those who can be forgotten. Silly

So effortlessly you counted off

those seconds?

Without as much as a thought

to every passing second...

that carried me away?

In the flame of the lamp that

you lit, it was I who burned

Pity

Shall I tell you what's

on my mind for sometime?

Two names on your mind.

Paro and Devdas

Mr Landlord! How did you figure out?

Kumud was saying, Dev and Paro

are upto new antics

For hours they stare at each other

through binoculars

Shondesh is her excuse for

coming over. I don't like it

And Sumitra is daydreaming

of Paro's wedding to Devdas

Daydreams never come true.

Neelkanth married an actress

Disgraced himself. In an alliance

with a disgraced family...

am I to bring

my family to ridicule...?

Right, but you know Sumitra.

She shoots off her mouth

What if she storms in someday

proposing an alliance?

The answer will be "no"

- Why will the answer be no?

A knight and a landlord. And the

roof over our heads is leaking

Leaking...?

Even my postal address has changed.

- Really...?

Neelkanth Chakraborty,

Old Mansion

What's lacking in our Paro?

She's pretty, she's literate

I only got to spread the word.

Tens of boys will be ready...

to pay a bride-price for Paro.

- Really?

Yes. You are worrying too much

Someday we will get a proposal...

from them. You'll see

Till then, I leave you to

your musings. I'm off for my nap

Mr Landlord! Have a care!

Your old mansion is crumbling

Broke my back

All this jewellery! All for me?

- You will give me a grandson

Won't I give you something?

Badi-Ma has opened up her

treasure trove. Loot her

I must!

Badi-Ma! How exquisite!

I must wear this

No, that one isn't for you.

- Then, for whom?

For my Devdas' bride.

- Let's see

Give it all away to Devdas' bride!

I want none of this

Here's your elder daughter-in-law

And everyone's all agog about

someone who's yet to come

Nice bracelet, isn't it?

It'll look great on your arm

In my father's house

maids wear bracelets like these

Then consider yourself a maid,

right Badi-Ma?

Yes! I'm maidservant in this house.

My brother-in-law! Always after me

You're making a mountain out

of a molehill. I was joking

If you disapprove, I won't even marry.

- I hate being ridiculed

Why rib her all the time?

Badi-Ma you could've said yes...

if only to please her. You know

her nature. And she's pregnant

And you've brought her to tears.

Now I got to placate her. Woe betide

No matter how much honey you add,
