funeral the other day

''What...? Just a thousand people?''

''There were 5000 people

at my uncle's funeral''

He must've been joking.

- What joking!

He took off on the lenses of

someone's glasses the other day

l said, the peon in my office

can't see without his glasses

And Natu the great says...

the peon in my office

goes deaf without his glasses!

l asked, ''Why? Does he

use his glasses for hearing?''

He says, ''No, he uses a hearing-aid.

He needs glasses to find the hearing aid''

What are you laughing for?

- But he's got a point

He's got a point all the time, Sumi!

My grandpa's great! My Uncle's great!

And my Ashalata...

absolutely original!

Sure. As if our wives

are all duplicates!

Let him be.

- There we were, talking about Adi and...

Your Adi...

he's nothing! He's a zero!

He's good for nothing, take it

from me. l know that wastrel!

Will you listen to me...

please step aside

You tossed me into

the swimming pool...?

But this is nothing!

My brother-in-law

threw me in the sea!

Don't laugh, Sumi

- ''No offense towards my dad,'' l heard

But no offense against my son?

l hadn't heard that

He said it twice! Aditya is nothing!

Whereas my Aditya is...

What is he?

What is your Aditya?

Natu-bhai said nothing wrong, lshu.

Aditya's really nothing

And he'll become nothing either.

You know why?

Because you want to pamper

your darling son

So mustn't l love my son?

- Hey! As if l don't love Aditya

But that doesn't mean we succumb

to each of his whims and fancies

1.5 million rupees in a single day

on a chartered flight, lshu...?!

Why shouldn't l fulfill all his

wishes, Sumi? Why shouldn't l do it?

What did we have when

we came to this city?

We had no roof over our heads,

we didn't have enough to eat

We were terrified when we thought

of fulfilling a desire of ours

ln fact, we even thought

our dreams were expensive!

But today, if this postman who went

around delivering people's letters...

has become a rich businessman...

it's because of his son

and offspring, Aditya

l've built all this

only for Aditya

Will you continue doing it

all his life?

lshu, you know what

problems we're going through

So what am l expected to do?

- Tell Adi the truth, lshwar

No

Before someone else tells him...

- No, Sumi

Nobody, except you and me,

knows about it. And if...

But you have to tell him someday,

don't you?

He won't be able to bear the shock.

- He will have to

Maybe it'll make him change,

he'll become more responsible?

Sumi...

l don't like that look!

- l have a way!

''We're emperors

of our world...''

''our world's full of fun''

''We're emperors

of our world...''

''our world's full of fun''
