Transcripts
This film, is dedicated to a litterateur,
who along with the love of his mother,
has presented the sacrifices and hardships of a father
as a responsible parent in front of us, through this film
He has tried to showcase that
if your mother is a starry night sky,
Then, your father is a tree with abundance
of shade under his wide spread barks.
It was somewhere around the months of May and June.
The whole night I couldnât sleep,
thinking that tomorrow morning, I will leave my house
because I was frustrated with myself, my life and most importantly my Father!
When he did not want me to study engineering,
then why did he used to say that âmy daughter, one day will become an engineer, an engineer!â
Sir!
What is the issue, Prem Prakash?
Sir, please have this..water..
Whatâs up you seem to be very happy today?
And why have you brought these sweets, whatâs the occasion?
Sir, my daughter has secured first rank in her school examinations!
Wow!! Thatâs such good news!
I am certain that I will make my daughter an engineer soon!
Actor --> Great! Great! My best wishes are always with you for you and your daughter!
Whenever you need something.. Anything at all, just ask me!
Just your blessings are enough!
Huh! How will I become an engineer?!
Canât even afford a laptop and
wants to make me become an engineer.
The money and energy that goes into getting one to become an engineer, is not that easy!
In our home, my mother was there,
who sometimes got ignored and sometimes was listened
regarding whatever she had to advise and say.
Hey, if we could give something good at the wedding of Binnuâs daughter so..
Please! Enough of your new suggestions and advice all the time,
whatever I have decided, will happen.
She was of no value.
Now the morning sky shone bright
I was waiting for my father to go off to work.
After waiting for a long time
When he did not leave,
I myself decided to leave.
And in a moment of hurry, instead of wearing my slippers, I wore my fatherâs slippers instead.
On top of that,
I even did something which
I could never imagine doing
I stole from my fatherâs wallet from his pants hung on a hook in the wall
to see how much money he has for himself.
I canât fathom,
those who have nowhere to go,
where do they go?
I had just left from home to the station,
and I saw the time
8:45 in the morning
and at this hour,
there was no train for Delhi
Keeping this in mind I changed my route from the railway station towards the bus stand
and I felt something wet at the sole of my foot.
And when I looked down at my feet,
I could see that the roadside dirty water had seeped through my fatherâs slippers
I, by ignoring it,
took my fatherâs wallet out of my bag,
and when I opened it and looked inside,
I saw that it had a hole inside
which still held on to a 100 rupee note along with a 50 rupee note, 2 --> 3 coins and a few crumbled up slips kept inside.
I took out the first slip and started reading it..
It said
âPaakhiâs computer science books
25,000 rupees,
wrist watch
2800 rupees
and Shoes
1600 rupees.
Now, the bus stand wasnât that far away,
I was about to reach, and all of a sudden,
something sharp like that of a needle, poked me in the toe.
Ay!
You have run away from your home
havenât you?
Look,
I also chose to run away from my home one day!
Look Look, my clothes and my doll..
I also betrayed my father and ran away just like this.
Now he is dead..
He is dead
Go away! Go Away! Go Away!
Many times I saw my mother
ask my father to get his sugar levels checked,
to which my father always had a funny excuse or let it be for another time..
Shanti, I am going to work.
Okay listen,
please get your sugar levels checked on the way back, would you?
Shanti, the day I get my sugar levels checked
the government will set up
a Sugar mill inside me! Huh!
Now my toe started to hurt more!
I saw that on the sidewalk,
a broken bench was there,
on which I sat,
and as soon as I looked up,
I could see a shed, maintained poorly,
maybe it was a laundererâs.
As soon as I removed my slippers
I saw that my left toe was
entirely covered in blood
and that blood was also all over
my fatherâs slippers.
Now, without taking my pain into consideration,
I took out the second slip
and started reading it,
which read
âOhho!
Please get yourself a pair of new slippers/shoes,
till when will you roam around in these good for nothing pairs of slippers?â
âOhho! Please get yourself a pair of new slippers/shoes, till when will you roam around in these good for nothing pairs of slippers?â
My mother wrote this slip for my father.
My feet were in intense pain.
I took out the third slip without caring about my pain and it read -->
âA deal fixed for selling away my scooter and getting the downpayment amount of rupees 6000,
in exchange, for Paakhiâs new laptop,
for which she was worried for the past 6 months..â
As I read this slip,
tears started running down my face..
Without caring about my feet,
I ran towards the shop
where my father frequently took his scooter for its servicing.
As I kept on running
I could remember every single word of my father.
âOhho! Please get yourself a pair of new slippers/shoes,
till when will you roam around in these good for nothing pairs of slippers?â
âHuh! These slippers will sustain for another 6 months without any issues!
We should rather look at Paakhiâs shoes,
Theyâre torn
i am going now!â
Whenever my mother extended a glass of milk towards my father,
he used to say âI donât like to drink milk, give it to Paankhi, she will have itâ
âPapa, here you go! âHere, take this milkâ
âOho Shanti, I have told you so many times,
I donât like milk, give it to Paankhi instead, here you go kid, have itâ
Looking at my father standing in front of me,
I ran towards him and
started crying uncontrollably, while I held his arm.
Papa, I donât want the laptop..
I donât want the watch, Papa
I donât want shoes either!
Papa Please, donât sell off the scooter..
That day, for the first time in my life,
I saw that stone-->hearted man melt right in front of my eyes.
His eyes were full of tears.
I held his hand, sat him on the scooter
and off we went for our home.
That day, life taught me for the first time, the importance and value of a father.
And ever since that day, I made a promise to myself,
that by working hard in my life,
I will achieve something in life
that my fatherâs head holds high in pride,
because I wanted to now fulfil the dreams of my father,
and wanted to show him that I will become a big officer one day!
Oh, so you are leaving..
Yes dad!
Have this milk and go!
Go, you are getting late..
Papa, I know that sometimes our duties become a habit..
Now leave a few of those duties to your daughter..
Oh.. take this
Oh yes, I had forgotten that our princess
has now become a big police officer.
By adopting an orphan kid, you have made his world better,
God will always take care of you, my daughter..
And you mustâve forgotten that today is your birthday? Right?
Oh Yeah! I almost forgot too!
Oh God! My dear daughter, what is this?
Shoes?!
Shanti look at my shoes!
Beta, these mustâve been very expensive isnât it?
Not more than you papa!
Oh my child! Oh! Oh!
Now give them to me, let me try them on!
Shanti, look at my shoes, how beautiful they are!
Oh my love!
Happy Birthday my hero, my papa! The End
