Smoking is injurious to health.
It causes cancer.
Smoking is injurious to health.
It causes cancer.
Attention, please. This is the final call for Air India flight 373.
'which is on its way to Kolkata.'
'They may begin boarding in gate B20. '
'Taxi!'
'Just make sure you...'
Sir, are you an NRI?
Are you on vacation?
I live in Bhavanipur.
You seem to be an expat.
Please switch on the radio. - Sure.
"Mirchi 98.3".
"People who listen to Mirchi are always happy."
'Kolkata knows about all of our hidden secrets.'
'It knows when we're fully drunk with rum at'
'three in the night.'
Sir.
Please increase the volume.
'How much of a sigh'
'was left by the last kiss?'
'Even if your fingers were entangled, '
'how much space was still remaining between you two?'
'Hey, are you done?'
'Aren't you getting late?'
'I'm expecting to see you one last time'
'to say goodbye.'
Arrange that end properly.
I guess the mixture needs to be...
The puffed rice is missing. - Why this?
Phones do have calendars now. - A Bengali calendar is a must.
Just put all the garbage in this suitcase.
Are these garbage to you?
Kabzahar! This is a must.
He may experience constipation
just by looking at the toilet paper in that country.
Christine, here you go.
Rehan. - Aunt, why all this?
I had gone to pray in the Kalighat temple for your friend.
Have it. Also, don't forget to call your friend.
Do video calls so that his surroundings are visible.
Inform me first if you feel like he's consuming alcohol.
Don't call his father but me at first. Do you get it?
Let me see, wait. - Hey.
Anindita could've come.
Stop it!
'Be well.'
'I can't do all the drama of coming to the airport now.'
'I've grown up.'
Today's segment is based on our unfulfilled desires.
'The hottest day of the city.'
I'm Mirchi-Ani and you're listening to
Mirchi 98.3 FM. It's hot.
'Do it as you like, don't ask me. Go.'
What's going on?
I think this segment is really working.
Look at the DMs I've received.
I got it, but when will you share your stories, huh?
You haven't given any feedback for my writings yet.
I'll let you know once I've read the whole thing.
What feedback do you expect for just 5000 words?
But until now, it's fantastic!
You're wasting you talent here, Anindita.
You've to take care of the bank balance along with your talent too.
Listen to me.
Apply to NYU and just go away.
Didn't I give you the professor's contact the other day?
Just do it. - I'll see.
You know that I get homesick, right?
Not home
but Kolkata.
"Walk alone, walk alone, walk alone."
Hey, Ritoban.
Hey, why did you come back all of a sudden?
What happened? Are you alright?
Can't I just visit you?
You can all leave for today.
We'll resume next Sunday. - Mom, what's this?
Be professional. Go do your work.
Just like I thought.
This is not minestrone soup.
I'm sorry.
You've ruined it.
I'm extremely sorry, sir. - What's this?
Can I get you something else instead?
I've heard that
the risotto is your speciality. Let's get that.
Okay, sir.
I hope that's not going to be as disappointing as this one.
Was this needed?
If they don't know what's minestrone soup,
why have they kept it on the menu?
After all, it's an Italian staple.
What's in that Italian staple of yours?
At the end of the day, It's just an onion and carrot soup.
Maybe.
Next year, I'll make you have authentic minestrone soup in Rome.
Shayak. Hi!
Do you know him?
I used to.
With Rome in mind, it could be a very
good destination for our honeymoon.
No?
Yeah.
Your acting is the worst!
You could've pretended better about not recognising me.
Are you good?
Long time.
Wow.
When did you learn to do these formal small talks?
I'm not in the mood for a deep conversation.
Shayak, we live in the same city but you're nowhere to be found.
You're skipping birthdays, puja, and everything else. Why?
I'm getting old, right?
I don't like it.
We all miss you. - I don't miss anyone.
Yeah, maybe I...
I miss those times, but... - Hey, let's go.
This is Shayak
and this is Siddharth, my boyfriend.
Do you remember the song of yours that
we used to smoke up on in college?
I've made him hear that song multiple times, right?
The song is a cliche but
your voice has a soul.
I dub Bengali movies for a living, sir.
That soul has gone to the gutters.
Shayak, please meet us.
I'll see.
My set is about to begin.
Yeah. - You guys carry on.
Excuse me.
I could sense a cold war between you two.
Was there an issue?
No.
Nothing like that.
It was damn cold. I wouldn't have taken it so lightly.
We were all very close during our college days.
Hence the distance hits a lot.
Meh.
Friendship itself is very transactional.
If we look at it like that, then even this is transactional.
Every relationship is.
Can't you talk without taunting?
You're doing the same after getting in the car.
You could've capped it if you have so much of issues.
No, of course, it's my fault.
Stop the car. I'll get out.
Don't be silly.
Let's go.
'Hey, Ritoban. Did you accidentally dial the number?'
Can't I just call you?
Is this what you'll do?
'I mean, you haven't done it for the past eight months, hence...'
'Are Uncle and Aunt okay?'
Will you just come to your balcony?
Finally.
Cheeni, where are you, dear?
Cheeni. - Did Cheeni run away again?
Huh.
Yes, where does she even go?
I've seen you after so long. You're nowhere to be found.
I'm very busy with office work.
Your father hasn't left the house in a while too.
I'm just worried.
But I do hear your voice over the radio every day.
I love it. - Thank you.
Take care of yourself.
I'll make Pakoras on Sunday.
Wow! Okay.
Cheeni.
I'm leaving. - Okay, dear.
Cheeni.
Did you have dinner?
Didn't Shreemoti give your dinner?
You could've heated the food using the microwave, dad.
Will I've to do this as well?
I take three medicines before having meals.
The medicine for the liver is over.
You could've asked Shreemoti to get it for you.
I could've paid via GPay.
I sent you a text regarding the medicine over WhatsApp.
I totally forgot.
I don't get it. Don't we pay Shreemoti for these things?
Why don't you tell her?
This is your responsibility.
And what is your responsibility? Solving puzzles all the long?
You don't eat, don’t sleep. You can't even take care of yourself.
I'm not a corporate slave like you
who does whatever she wants to.
My slavery is what runs this household
and not with whatever your Gurudev says.
'Who is going to fight this battle?'
You and me together. - Who is going to fight
this battle? - You and me together.
Who is going to fight this battle?
'You and me'
together. - Have you seen Rehan and Christine?
Hey, Rehan. - Yes.
What nonsense are you doing? Christine,
pick up your call. The match is about to start.
Wait, I've to finish this poster. It's needed in the protest.
What poster!
The opposition and you both will tear each other's posters down.
It's an infinite bloody loop. Let's go.
May I know what are you doing over here?
Anindita, this is Ritoban.
Rehan and my schoolmate.
Ritoban studies in our college as well. Civil.
Great.
Do you and any idea on the topic of this protest?
I guess you don't. - No!
There's a protest every week and that's why I forgot.
In fact, I was thinking of starting a protest on stopping this protest.
Wit is on point.
Do you know what? If you want to stay here,
you've to be a bit serious.
Ritoban, this is Anindita.
Anindita is our AGS.
About to be. - Nice.
Then comrade Anindita should know this very well
that the college is playing in the
intercollegiate table tennis championship finals.
Where you're responsible for us getting to the finals.
I follow your game. - Exactly!
Ritoban is a fantastic TT player.
Only the sportsman's spirit is a bit lacking.
Actually, the thing is.
We're under a lot of academic stress.
Hence we don't get the opportunity to smoke in the union room.
Listen, now you're crossing...
It's not good to fight amongst each other, right?
Sure.
Madam, as important as winning this election is for you,
for me, winning the table tennis competition is just as important.
And for that, I need my best friends to support me.
So, may I?
Please.
Rehan, let's go. - Hey!
Anindita.
Go.
Uncle, let's go.
Excuse me.
I came in first.
I put my leg first.
This is not right.
Uncle.
Take me to Hathi Bagan.
Uncle, Bhavanipur.
Please decide who's going.
I think I should.
First, to Hathi Bagan,
then to Bhavanipur. - Okay.
The rain has subsided.
Where did Rehan and the gang go?
We were celebrating our victory besides, you guys, with a bit of
Old Monk and a bit of whiskey.
Then it started raining and all of them left, and I...
I thought I'd go home later
I'll be thrashed if I go home like this.
Pudinhara.
Works like a charm.
Thank you.
What's the time?
It's dead.
It's been two years since it's dead.
Then why do you still wear it?
Habit.
I was small, and I wanted a watch because my grandma had one.
This was my birthday gift.
Why did you laugh?
Sorry.
The city is dead because of such sentiments.
People make fun when they don't understand emotions.
Every person on Earth wants to move forward.
Kolkata is the only place
that has stopped like the hands of your dead watch.
Ritoban, there is magic even when time has stood still.
So, finally, you're going away too.
Listen, if I had been smart, I would've moved to Melbourne with my,
mom to my elder brother when my dad died five years ago.
Everything is...
It's very claustrophobic and
everywhere, it's the same set of people.
Everything is so incestuous.
Is the city so incestuous or have you been sleeping?
Hey, please.
What happened to your call centre job?
As usual.
They had even promoted me to cluster head.
The better the salary, the more suffocating it is.
One day, I just sent a resignation letter while drunk.
Only Rehan is doing well.
I was thrown away hearing about Rehan.
From his family's hosiery business to his own label and brand.
It's not a matter of joke, right?
Seriously, man.
I mean, from Barabazar to Ballygunge Place.
Barabazar to Ballygunge Place. - Yes.
Hey, are you in touch with Shayak?
No.
He couldn't make it to Mumbai.
After struggling for two years, he's back to base.
Hmm.
Now, he's a sound engineer.
He plays in restaurants if he gets gigs.
Good for him.
And
Anindita is... - Yes, I heard her radio show.
She's good. - Very popular.
She has a fan page on Instagram.
Yeah.
I think she's in a serious relationship, too, right?
The name of the guy is Siddharth.
Yes.
I saw his photo on Instagram.
'I aim for your ribs.'
'I'm a failed archer.'
'If there's any misadventure on the bow of the lips, '
'then even flying letter can be flying ships.'
What?
The next stone would've landed on your head if you wouldn't have come.
You couldn't. Your aim is very poor.
Failed archer!
Ritoban, if I get caught, then you'll be responsible.
Do one thing.
Mix a few sleeping pills in your dad's chicken stew next time.
We don't have chicken stew every day.
We have ivy gourd.
Let's go.
It can't be that he doesn't have it, right?
Kolkata at night is whole different story, right?
It's a thrill to break the rules, madam.
It can be any city. - Not at all.
You won't understand now.
You'll understand when you leave Kolkata.
Does Rehan know that we're going out?
Mad or what?
He'll ruin it with his jokes.
Is there anything to joke about us?
It could be if you want.
Sufiya will shut down, come.
I think Sufiya is Kolkata's best-kept secret.
The 'Nihari' is heavenly.
Not only the 'Nihari'
but the 'paya' is heavenly too.
Hey! You guys.
You idiot.
Who brought you to Sufiya?
I didn't know you were coming, we could've come together.
I'm sorry, I've to say.
I called them.
When we call you to Sufiya, you say you feel like sleeping,
you have TT practice. - Hey!
Today, I was awake. I didn't feel like sleeping. It's just random.
Yes, that's right.
Oh god! This guy.
Such a prick, man.
Christine, be quiet.
Rehan will get thrashed again.
No, everyone in my family is used to this now.
It's Christine’s breakup every three months
and this will just keep going.
It's not my fault, okay?
So, will you cut yourself for that?
Hit her. - Stop it.
Why do you even fall in love with such fools?
How will I know whether he'll ghost me?
You see these red flags every time
but just ignore them.
And people ignore the red flags every time, and
hence the Communist Party is in such a shape.
Your sense of humour is just
degrading day by day.
It's getting just like Shayak.
Hey, this time, your CGPA is below eight.
Have you done any introspecting?
I'll fix it in the next semester, dad.
Why is the camera on the dining table?
What's with your language?
Look, you'll do nothing in life, if you hang
this around in your neck and roam around in Kumortuli the entire day.
Kumortuli?
Everyone is Raghu Rai with a DSLR
bought with father's money
and they've filled the entire Facebook with B&W photos.
For me, it's capturing North Kolkata.
What are you even saying?
You haven't done anything great by getting good marks
in your joint exams.
I want your CGPA to be above 9
in the next sem... - Mom, I'm hungry.
Rama!
Bring the fish.
Start with your PhD applications quickly.
The good thing is I've already sent a reference to all
my friends in UK's universities.
Have you seen that?
Hmm.
'A person is arrested for a theft of one crore in Howrah.'
'They've been arrested from...'
Turn down the volume, I'm marking the answer sheets.
Just put any number on it.
Anyway, you're just teaching history of the capitalists.
'Here's the camera footage...'
This attitude.
People nowadays don't vote for us because of our rowdy attitude.
Us?
You don't even attend the local committee meetings.
Us, it seems!
Local committee meeting?
Attending meetings won't run this household
and I am responsible for it.
How do you even tolerate such a person?
Day by day is getting more obnoxious.
Patience.
What are you doing?
Nothing.
There's an RJ Talent hunt
for the college's FM channel.
Is that so?
The final is the day after tomorrow.
I won't get it,
but still.
Dhat.
I won't get it. I couldn't do it.
This is what our generation used to say.
You guys will surely take
whatever you deserve.
When did you click these?
You could at least compliment me.
Tell me. I have magic.
Do you click photos for self-appreciation?
No!
I was just testing the focus. - Is that so?
Then you shouldn't have clicked so many photos in secrecy.
Looking at you, I just got greedy.
How is your
preparation for the RJ's audition going on?
Not good.
I don't know.
I don't think there's anything new
to say about Kolkata.
Everyone has said everything. What am I supposed to say?
Can I give you a proposal?
Again?
I want to take you on a ride throughout Kolkata
but there's a catch.
I won't play if you tell Rehan this time.
We'll see.
"When you're like an eclipse on the moon,"
"you want to wash away the coast."
"You take the lead whenever you wish"
"even if the wind is flowing adversely."
"Just then my sweetness"
"forgets its way and reaches your shores."
"Leaving all hopes in the name of hopes,"
"breaking seasons in the name of hope."
"Hope to break through the opposing clouds"
"and touch my unworldly wounds."
"Leaving all hopes in the name of hopes,"
"breaking seasons in the name of hope."
"Hope to break through the opposing clouds"
"and touch my unworldly wounds."
There are so many half-burnt beliefs
left lying in the ashtrays of Chandani and Broadway house.
Many lovers have just vanished after a few pegs.
The vein of our dreams are filled with Decker's Lane.
Park Street's glow signs
glow like fireflies in our eyes.
Maybe the careless kiss in the closed cabin of Changua
tell us about the stories of our pain.
Sometimes, it's Sufiya.
Sometimes, it's Newmarket.
And sometimes the softness of Pice Hotel.
The menu of Kolkata
has the warmth of your loved ones.
'It was so good.'
'Yes, it was very nice'
'She spoke very well'
'It was really beautiful.'
Look, the theme for their final round is Yours and Mine, Kolkata.
I don't like these dramas in general.
But yours was an honest effort.
Thank you
and
you taking me out to Kolkata
really helped me a lot.
I got a lot of confidence.
Thank you
but I need another favour.
Another one? - Obviously.
Ritoban.
I'm not saying this to everyone
but please come to my final audition.
Ritoban, I'll be very nervous.
Please come.
Think of it as my TT final.
Please come.
Please. - Let me check my diary first.
Scoundrel.
Ow.
Will you come? - Of course, I will.
I had one too.
Here you go.
This is very promising.
I heard he copied someone’s work.
Is it still there? - Going out to smoke and...
Next participant is Anindita Shom.
Hey, come.
Anindita Shom, please come on stage.
The judges are waiting for you.
Your last-round performance was amazing.
- You've got to excel in this one too. - All the best.
Thank you.
Kolkata.
Bricks and wood.
I'm sorry.
Let's start again.
Please go ahead.
Kolkata.
Pa...
Anindita, relax.
Go may go through the script again.
The one which is... Sorry.
The one who is trapped
inside the ribs as cries.
Kolkata's traffic... - Strange.
O...
Sorry, I can't do it.
You're still crying.
Let's go. Everything is sorted. I've got all the medicines too.
Let's go. - Listen.
Don't say anything
to anyone, please.
I won't even reply to a text.
Okay?
Actually...
Anindita had an audition, right?
She must be really pissed off.
Hmm.
Maybe she'll understand if she knows the truth.
After all, abortion is a serious issue.
You're good to go.
Thanks.
Thanks for coming.
Formalities aren't needed
with your ex.
You're pretty drunk.
I couldn't become an RJ,
at least let me be a successful drunk.
You want to...
Do you want to come home?
Are you hitting on me?
I've written a few new songs.
I would make you listen to them.
Finish this first.
Greetings. - Greetings.
Are you eating well?
Absolutely. - Please eat well.
Let me know if you need anything.
Thank you. - Thank you.
You're welcome.
When Christine said you were coming, I thought she was pranking me.
I would come here on every Eid just for your biryani.
You don't even message me apart from wishing me on my birthday.
So, haven't you brought anyone from there?
No, I mean, what's the trend now?
British or Spanish.
My life isn't happening like yours.
Hey bro, nowadays you can see Rehan only in Tally.
Hmm? - Hmm.
Investors and clients, both are over there.
The business won't run if I don't butter them, right?
Didn't you abuse the same people during college?
Yes, but in these years I understood that
the biggest ideology of life
is to be an opportunist.
The discreet charm of the bourgeoisie.
Doesn't your mouth get sore with this fake smile of yours?
Everything is good when you practice well.
You'll also give this fake smile while looking at Shayak,
right?
This place has changed, right?
Spoken like a true expat Bengali.
Hey.
Shayak.
What's up? - What's up, man?
All good? - Hey!
How are you? - I'm good. What's up?
Guys, you can chill here.
Let me just get the beers, okay?
Christine, do you remember? - Hmm.
Rehan had weed for the first time here.
He thought the aliens would abduct him.
Right.
How's your PhD going?
Nothing exciting.
You say.
You were working in a web series, right?
Sound design. - Please don't watch it.
You'll need a lot of alcohol to tolerate it.
I missed this banter.
Hey, do you guys remember?
We had planned on living in a
rented apartment in Rajarhat.
Apartment.
Ritoban even deleted our WhatsApp
group the moment he landed in London.
Isn't it?
No.
I'm sure he was busy. Assignments...
I can't pretend anymore.
Right.
Pretend.
Now our college is over too,
so friendship comes with an expiry date.
You don't understand. - I do understand.
A PhD in the UK, it's a whole new thing.
Why are you even meeting lesser mortals like us?
Shayak, please. Come on.
Why did you come back to a bad city like Kolkata?
Why did you return?
Was Bombay too hard?
Don't go there.
You guys need to relax, please.
What relax!
Why did Ritoban at all join our group?
Should I just spill everything? - Yes, please.
Tell me. - Friends.
Look who's here.
Hi.
All good?
All good.
Hi. - Hey,
I forgot the beers.
I'll be back. - Hey, wait.
Listen, I'm coming with you too. I'll meet Uncle and Aunt and leave.
What does this mean?
I have an event today.
I've just come here to greet.
How is it a greeting without even having a beer?
Please, some other time. Let me go today. Bye.
Shayak, bye. We'll meet later. Rehan, let's go.
Let's go.
Mom, you guys should be sleeping by now.
No, we thought of waiting for you.
We haven't talked since you came. - I'm not a child anymore, mom.
You came here all of a sudden
and that too in mid-semester.
Will you have any issues with your research?
Why do you think so?
Do you want me gone?
What are you even saying?
Look.
Look, what did I find?
You've clicked the photo on this cover.
You used to click such good pictures when you were small.
Can't you send some pictures from London?
What will you do, mom?
Will you send the pictures to your friends and relatives?
No.
Mom, I can't be a showpiece.
Good night.
'Ritoban, as discussed, I'll try and convey your request to the dean.'
'However, as you've applied, '
'I'd like to inform you that such a possibility looks very unlikely.'
'Let me know if you'd like to re-consider your decision.'
'Keep me posted.'
We didn't have these many cafes in
Kolkata during our college days, right?
Ritoban, don't avoid the topic.
What else should I do?
That person is avoiding me too.
Ritoban, you've to understand.
Anindita was affected by your sudden departure to London.
All of a sudden?
She already knew that I was supposed to go to the UK for MS.
Family tradition. What to do?
She must be thinking I'm selfish, right?
She did not have a place to vent.
She was in a very bad space.
Yes, and I was having fun in the UK?
Your plan to go to the UK was already set.
Just think about her.
She dreamt, but she couldn't go.
And Ritoban.
The point isn't who was bad.
It's not a competition. - Let it be!
It's okay if she doesn't want to keep in touch.
Your coffee.
Hmm, lovely!
Nothing yet has yet opened.
I guess they say this to everyone.
What's your problem?
The admission office says that your application looks promising.
Why are you getting so negative?
By the way, did you tell Uncle?
No, I won't say until it's final.
Does Siddharth know?
No.
Rupsha, you know it, right?
They say this to so many people, then cancel.
Does Ritoban know
that you're planning an exit the moment he came back?
Ahuh.
Because this time they exit plan is for me.
There you go. What does that even mean?
You're serious with this plan, right?
Then why do you lack confidence?
I don't know.
I feel weird the moment I think
about leaving Kolkata.
I can't really explain.
It's...
Whatever it is.
We have to celebrate the achievement, though.
I'll do it but with mom.
Today is Mom's birthday.
Dad.
Saldanah's cake...
Dad.
Da...
Dad!
Yes, that's fine.
Bye, bye.
Hi, can I meet Anindita?
I meant RJ Ani, please?
She took off some time ago.
You. - Excuse me.
Anindita has left for today.
Who are you?
I'm her old friend.
Didn't you call her? - No, actually
I thought of surprising her, but...
It's okay.
Speak of the devil.
Hello Anindita.
What? Yes.
Yes, I'm coming to the hospital right away.
Don't worry, yes.
Sorry, I did something happened to Anindita?
Thank you.
What are the doctors saying?
Whatever they
usually say.
Under observation.
Did his sugar level fall?
Umm.
He has the medicines for sugar but doesn't have lunch.
What should I say?
It's a shock due to hypoglycaemia.
Creative Writing with Performance Studies.
From NYU.
My aunt lives in the Bronx. - Hmm.
Let's see.
Whenever I intend to do something good, it always goes wrong.
It will all be fine.
I've stopped.
When did you start?
Bad habits pile on with your PhD.
Why did you suddenly come back to Kolkata?
Homesick?
No.
I didn't visit home for long, so...
Hmm.
Your...
Your boyfriend, Siddharth.
Christine had mentioned him, that's why.
Won't he come?
He's in Bombay.
He had an urgent meeting.
His phone is unavailable too.
He might come.
Hmm.
You
were right, you know?
Kolkata may be imperfect, but, it does haunt you after you leave.
Wow.
The Ritoban five years ago would have called it a facade.
My hair is turning Gray, that's why.
Today is Aunt's birthday, right?
Do you still remember? - Hmm.
Sometimes I do miss talking to you.
Let it be.
We are good.
Won't you light it? - Hmm.
Yes.
I forgot while talking to you.
Bye.
Anindita.
Let me know
if you need any help. - Hmm.
Thank you. - Anindita.
Your phone was unreachable. I just got your messages.
I'm coming directly from the airport.
The phone is dead.
Oh, Siddharth.
This is Ritoban, my... - Friend.
Anindita, I should leave.
I'm in a rush.
Let's go. - Hmm.
How are you? - Hey, Ritoban.
It's a punishable offence if you don't get a good Scotch from London.
Ah, Somuresh, calling a foreign return guy
with such an atrocious name. So not done.
My nickname is based on Narayan Debnath's iconic character.
It's not atrocious.
Thank you. - I'm extremely sorry.
So how is your PhD going on?
How many papers did you publish?
Not even one.
I'm still trying to cope up with
the research. - Why is that?
Are you just roaming around in Kolkata in your midterms?
You should work hard for your publication
or else you'll face a lot of issues later.
Hey, how many doctorates do you think are over here?
He's grown up enough. Let him decide for himself.
I would like you
to meet my daughter.
Hey, Joyita.
Come. Nonte!
Can't you recognise him? It's Ritoban.
We have gone to so many picnics together, don't you remember?
Hi. - Hi, how are you?
All good. - You're in UCL, right?
I was telling Joyita about your journey.
It's so difficult to get funding in the UK.
It's really inspiring.
I've also seen a lot of your photos on sports journals and magazines.
It's really amazing. - Thank you.
Ritoban is a good photographer.
Dad was once upset with what he is
bragging about now.
Why? Didn't we support you when you were small?
Listen, passion and profession
are two different things.
Dad, you have always supported your hypocrisy.
Or else my passion would have been my profession today.
What happened to you?
You're doing so well.
Hey, this is all a generation gap.
Let's lighten the mood, right?
Joyita, why don't you recite some of the poems you've written?
Dad, please, this is embarrassing.
Joyita, you don't have even to say a line.
And you all, please stop deciding for your kids.
Nonte.
Sit down. - What's happening?
People are watching. - Why, dad?
Is your well-kept elite image getting ruined?
I'm a PhD now. I live in London.
I'm a successful engineer, yet a good photographer.
The packaging is good, right?
Since childhood, I have raised you so that you excel in your class.
Will you take credit for that too?
Dad, do you know I was scared of excelling every year?
Because I knew.
I was worried about the way you'd see me if I didn't excel next time
and the strange part is...
even after getting a scholarship,
Even during my PhD.
This fear was prevalent.
I used to be
very anxious.
I used to think all the time, 'What if I don't make it?'
Ritoban, don't cross the line. - I've already crossed it, dad.
I've dropped out of my PhD
and my scholarship stands cancelled.
What?
They're tearing down every house to promote it.
Yours too... - No!
Dad doesn't want it.
And even I feel the same.
People won't recognise Kolkata if every house gets promoted.
Anyway.
Let's go for brunch.
Let me stay at home.
You need distraction as well.
Sorry to say.
Whatever happened to him
was his fault.
Hmm.
And
I did not change today.
Today is
Mom and Dad's anniversary. - Oh!
Let me just wish them. - That's not the point.
The point is today is a very special day for me
and it's lucky.
So I was wondering
why shouldn't I just...
If you live your life with me, the rest of it
will be like a movie.
Will you marry me?
I just wanted to know how is uncle doing?
He's much more stable now
and I'm back in Kolkata now.
I'll help Anindita to cope up with the situation.
Of course.
Let's go.
"This rain filled with stories is all over me."
"Who cares who is wet or who made me wet?"
"Who got it, who didn't and who is helpless?"
"I have sand and mud in my hands, and I'll walk barefooted."
"I find my way alone, get lost even after finding my way."
"There's no talk without a condition."
"The night knows all about the stars."
"The more you distance yourself, the more you'll get closer."
"My address is right beside your alley."
"Even if you distance yourself, I'll be right by your side."
I don't like a conventional date.
Flowers, cakes, proposing on a knee.
Not my thing.
I used to think
that romance is not your thing.
It was important for me to stay beside Christine that day.
That doesn't mean that I...
Can't you even say that much?
"The candle, the light, the wax."
"Stay with me a bit longer."
"The sky is cloudy over the city."
"If you look back,"
"You'll see me standing right there."
"A cold wind on the body."
"Can you ever forget this smell?"
"Can you ever turn yourself away from a fiery night?"
"Who got it, who didn't and who is helpless?"
"I have sand and mud in my hands, and I'll walk barefooted."
Nonte, what's happening?
Have your food. - Sure.
Who are you texting so much?
Next, you'll get inside the phone.
It's about the notes, dad.
"The night knows all about the stars."
"The more you distance yourself, the more you'll get closer."
"My address is right beside your alley."
"Even if you distance yourself, I'll be right by your side."
One day, you'll lose your teeth because of this.
I've spent the entire college life on
a bottle opener and he's talking big.
Darn, it just struck me.
We've exams after three days.
And after that... - College over.
Now please romanticise this.
You must be on a different high. You're going to the UK.
Didn’t I tell you to apply as well?
You could do a course on performing arts or media or something.
Like SOAS, UCL, anything. - Hey.
Will this mean that you'll have alcohol on the banks of the Thames?
My god!
My family isn't as wealthy as Ritoban's family.
And I've been adopted by the Ambanis, right?
Someone tell her that there's a thing called a scholarship.
I don't even have merit.
And do you know what?
I don't use the emergency exit the moment I get an opportunity.
Going away doesn't mean leaving.
Isn't that your favourite poem?
Rudra Mohammad Shahidullah.
I read this caption on one of your photos.
He's a top-level stalker. - Yeah, bro.
He's an admirer.
On the day of convocation,
will you recite this or something that you've written?
You have a performance for college radio.
Oh! Sorry.
You just got to know about it but
I have given your name a long time ago.
So guys, presenting to you
the one and only, the future on Bengali radio.
Anindita Shom!
Going away doesn't mean leaving.
Campus.
'This slogan.'
'Graffiti.'
'The moss-filled walls know'
'about the promises I had made'
'but I couldn't keep my word.'
The canteen, lemon tea,
fish chop,
birthday treats
'and the unruly things hidden under the eyes.'
'The campus remembers everything.'
Mom.
Yes?
You can go sleep. It's already two.
Complete your application.
Hey.
Why are you so worried?
Ritoban has explained the entire process to me.
I wouldn't have applied
if it weren't for him.
Anindita, can I say something?
The daily quarrels and argument
that we have.
Just go away from here.
Will I even get a chance?
And even if I get a chance.
Don't stress so much.
If I'm able to arrange the scholarship
anyhow,
then the entire tuition fee will get exempted.
I've been saving money bit by bit since you were six years old.
Once all the FDs are broken, something will surely work out.
We couldn't do anything.
You'll surely be able to make it.
You will.
'No one is mocked anymore for going abroad for higher education.'
Dad, update your ideology.
Those days are long gone.
What do you think?
Will you make it?
There are hundreds like you in Kolkata
who really have a talent
and prove their metal by staying in the country
and doing a job here.
For that, you don't need to spend tonnes of money and go abroad.
Scholarship, it seems.
Only if you could
get a full scholarship.
I don't understand why are you so uptight about it?
And you shouldn't talk about a job, right?
How have you helped the country by staying
at home all your life and doing nothing?
Whatever it may be, I at least have my own house.
I never went abroad on my father's money and boasted about it.
First of all,
she isn't going abroad for a trip
and secondly
her mother is still alive to look after her education.
You shouldn't worry about that.
You've never supported me for anything in life.
At least don't be an obstruction in your daughter's path to success.
This is your third cup.
Relax for a bit.
Rupsha, this happens when I get anxious.
Dad is unwell.
Siddharth has proposed to me, at this time
and out of nowhere came Ritoban.
Yesterday, he came to the hospital too.
I just don't know.
All of this is happening at once.
Are you not sure about Siddharth?
I'm not sure about anything.
I'm very overwhelmed.
So you've decided to stay here?
There's no difference between living here and being in Alipore jail, mom.
Nonte, it was your fault. - Mom, let me decide that.
I can't take the pressure of being perfect anymore.
You have to be first. You have to do a PhD.
You've been troubling me since childhood.
Nonte, you come back home.
Even your father is waiting for you.
I knew something was wrong the moment you
came back in the middle of the semester.
You still haven't been able to lie properly, looking into my eyes.
Aunt.
So, I'm really sorry
but Ritoban and I have an important video call
with the foreign education counsellor.
And I'm still trying to make him understand.
Yes, that's good.
Even if you're going to Australia. - Yeah.
See if you
can make your friend understand.
'So, I'm planning a new Pujo line with City Connect.'
'Do you like it?'
Look, I don't understand fashion but
these are amazing.
You understand photography and Kolkata.
I used to.
Rehan wants you to do the shoot for his new festive collection.
Don't you worry.
I know you'll rock it.
Besides, you're affordable.
Thank you, but please look for someone else.
Apart from that
I've never done photography professionally.
Come on, Ritoban. That's a stupid excuse.
Alright? He just wants a candid shoot.
Merging his line with the City
and who's better than you?
I can give you an advance right now if you want.
I'll pay you in full.
Hey, the coffee.
Madam, it's done.
Oh! Okay.
Sir. - Yes?
Your payment. - Thank you.
Thanks. - Thank you.
Bye.
By the way.
I've called the maid agency too.
They'll send someone.
Was all of this needed?
I'm still here.
Your dad should get used to it.
I mean. A maid will look after your dad after you move
to Mumbai after getting married.
Wow.
Your practical sense is amazing in times of crisis, too.
I should learn from it.
Sarcasm sounds hot on you.
My friends are going out tonight.
Get ready. Let's go.
I'm going to sleep. I have a migraine.
You carry on.
Anindita.
Can we meet?
Right now.
The saffron tea is still amazing.
Have you called me for these small talks?
Why would I do small talk?
You should get Siddharth over here.
He'll love the tea.
He would've come if there was caramel frappuccino
available here.
Is everything okay between you two?
I just meant to ask.
Hmm.
It's going good.
You say. Do you have any...
No, just a bit in London.
Bumble, Hinge.
Bumble?
I can't fall in love just speaking good English.
I'm thinking about revisiting my first love.
Photography.
Actually, Rehan is launching a new collection.
Yes, I know.
I know.
Will you come?
No, I mean.
I'd gain more confidence if you could come.
I'll try.
But it's highly unlikely.
I should leave. I'm in a rush. - Won't you have one more?
I don't like it anymore.
Listen, arrange for the car once the shoot is done.
Shift the lights a bit to the left.
Wow, you're doing great.
That's not good. Have a look.
Okay, let's go.
Go into a bit of depth. Just a bit.
Just lean back a bit.
Ritoban! - Hmm.
Hmm.
Hi.
- Sorry for the delay.
What happened to you? - Nothing, I'm just amazed.
What's the matter? - I should continue.
"Like a drop of rain on my wounds."
"From across many centuries,"
"You've held my hands looking at the way ahead."
"You've held my hand and have led the way."
"Our moon mixes with mine,"
"From that day onward, both the"
"broken hearts want to merge into one."
This is nice.
Denzam makes better momo than this.
Dim sums are very expensive.
I won't be able to digest it.
Are you okay? Did something happen?
No, I mean. For the last few days...
Is something bothering you?
No.
Not at all.
These are fantastic.
Thank you, Ritoban, for all your efforts. Ladies and gentlemen
we're good to go, so let's go for it.
It's so nice.
Awesome. - Thank you.
Don't do this. Just keep it.
Hmm.
How many?
Five, six. - Congratulations.
Hey.
Congratulation. - Here's the rock star.
Didn't I tell you he'll come? Here he is.
Tell us, when is the album coming out?
It won't.
I haven't heard you sing for a long time.
Will you sing a song?
I used to hear your songs on my old phone
when I used to feel lonely in London.
Please, let me through. - Sure.
Very grainy.
How are you doing? - I'm doing well.
But it used to cheer me up.
My own voice doesn't cheer me up anymore.
Come on.
At least do this for me.
Please don't do this. - Shayak.
Shayak, there's even a guitar. - No way.
No. - Hey, say something.
Sing. - Please, Shayak.
For old-time sake.
Please.
"This rain filled with stories is all over me."
"Who cares who is wet or who made me wet?"
"Who got it, who didn't and who is helpless?"
"I have sand and mud in my hands, and I'll walk barefooted."
"I find the my way alone, get lost even after finding my way."
"There's no talk without a condition."
"The night knows all about the stars."
"The more you distance yourself, the more you'll get closer."
"My address is right beside your alley."
"Even if you distance yourself, I'll be right by your side."
What was your British girlfriend's name?
Grace, Martha, Lucy... - Enough.
Good that it did not reach Elizabeth.
Not a bad name at all.
Do you get it?
I used to miss Shayak and your banter.
This will never get old.
Yes, but...
It's better if few things have an expiry date.
I don't want it.
Have one if you're that tense.
I don't need it. Thanks.
Campus interviews and jobs. You don't need any of it.
Why are you troubling me?
Why will I trouble you?
I'm not even participating in the campus interview myself.
Hey, won't Christine come?
She got rejected at every interview. She's obviously upset.
Hey, what's the matter?
I got it. - Super.
You're saying as if somebody's dead.
I have rejected it.
At first, I'll start with a single store
and then more stores. What do you think?
Correct.
This isn't a business model.
It's a dream.
You'll dream of many things.
It's better than dying in an office cubicle.
I think you're thinking in the right direction.
Why are you hyping him?
It's doubtful whether he'll ever break even.
Why would I hype him?
His family is in the garments business
for long. Do you know better?
And your elite family has always pampered you.
Please don't speak too much.
He's giving out career options to people.
We have a career counsellor here. - What are you trying to say?
What do you mean?
The other day, you had asked Anindita to go study abroad.
Today, you're making him dream
about a start-up. Boss, you've got to understand.
Not everyone has a safety net like you do.
Safety net?
If you have the courage, you shouldn't play the victim card.
Am I playing the victim card?
I...
At first, you should admit if you dare to do so.
You don't have to think about all this because you know
that your dad will use the Bengal club's circuit and
place you somewhere. - Please calm down.
Why should I calm down?
Did I say anything wrong?
What does he even know?
There's a certain pressure to be born into
the middle class in India. Does he know about it?
I know! Ask me.
After going door to door I finally a label has agreed to launch my album.
Wow, you hid this from us.
I hid it because there's a reason behind it.
I'm not sure whether I'll be able to do it.
Can a single album take care of me for the rest of my life?
And I wasn't born with a silver spoon
like our career counsellor over here.
What's your problem?
What do you want to prove?
You don't have to let others down if you have faith in your talent.
Guys, what are you doing?
You scoundrel, you're speaking of talent?
You wouldn't have been able to call yourself a photographer
if your father had not bought you that expensive DSLR.
I don't do photography to show off. You won't understand.
And I don't complain like you for
being an artist and beg for sympathy.
Yes, because you know
that you're desires will be fulfilled and that
everything is easy. That you'll get everything.
That Anindita is easy, and she's yours.
Shayak, what are you even...
Repeat what you just said. - Why? Did it hurt?
You keep wagging your tail like a dog for Anindita.
Shayak!
You can't buy everyone just because you've money.
Shayak, please be within your limits.
Or else what?
Guys. - Huh.
You'll use your father's money to hire goons and beat me up, right?
Get lost! - Shayak, what are you doing?
Hey, Shayak!
Ritoban!
You'll lose Anindita too.
Just watch.
'We were such fools, right?'
Don't be sentimental.
But you were right,
you know?
Anindita did go away.
She is right over here.
Aren't you a fool too?
You just went off all alone.
Don't console me.
Anindita, I want to...
Hmm.
This time, the party needs
to be proper. - Guys, I'm leaving.
What do you mean? - Why?
Bye. - Why?
I'm in a rush. - Not fair, please stay.
No, I've to rush.
Bye.
And congratulations.
Is everything okay? - Yeah, I'm fine.
'I only need you.'
'Will I get you?'
'Even if I don't, I'll still be with you.'
'Let me see you if you wish.'
'Look.'
'I'm stretching my hands for yours.'
'Let me place it.'
'You should too.'
'I will bow'
'myself without'
'any conditions.'
'We embrace'
'each other'
'and get overwhelmed.'
Please, Ritoban.
My cab is almost here, I don't want any...
Anindita, I want to talk to you.
Yes, dad, tell me. - 'Where are you?'
-'Come home quick.' -Why? What happened?
'I don't feel good. Please come.'
Wait, what?
Hello.
Is there a problem?
What happened to you?
Why did you call me like that?
What's this?
You've just removed everything. What has happened?
Take a guess.
Guess?
Are you joking with me? I thought something had happened to you.
The heartbeat
went up a lot.
But nothing to worry about now.
It was just excitement.
Don't dily doly.
Tell me what happened?
There's a letter for New York University.
Your acceptance letter.
Seriously?
You underestimate yourself a lot.
Congratulations.
Oh God!
Dad, I got scared.
I knew.
I knew you'd make it.
You'd make it.
Do you remember my name?
Your mother
is very happy today.
I know that you don't like me a lot.
That's normal.
I've never let you work. I've always refused you.
As a father,
can I give you one last piece of advice?
Please do.
Siddharth.
The guy is great
but not good for you.
Think about it.
I've received the Australian PR.
Darn it!
Congratulations.
I'm happy for you. - Thank you.
The time is ticking, Ritoban.
Before we move on
different cities or places, please tell her.
And please go home.
I'm not here for long too.
What the hell is this?
I had casually applied for it. Didn't give much thought to it.
You create a scene if I ask you to come to Mumbai
and now, you're moving to New York?
Hey.
What the hell?
I may not go but that's not the point.
Don't pick that tone with me. - Of course, you won't go!
Why would you even go?
Living in Kolkata, you'll just rot in this city.
You'll still live here!
I know your type.
Oh really? Do you know my type?
You had proposed to me, knowing my type, right?
The wedding, engagement, moving out. Every time I plan these things.
Each time you've put them aside by giving an excuse.
Tell me the truth.
Do you have someone in your life?
What did you say?
What are you trying to say?
Just tell me the truth!
Are you cheating on me?
What the hell?
What do you even mean?
Why are you reacting so much?
Cheating, really? - Hear me out!
You work in a radio station, right?
Over there, you're the brand ambassador of romance.
Your own relationships have no priority in your life.
Why are you going there? For performance studies!
Why don't you just study your damn brain?
You're still performing.
You know what?
You're as fake as the city that you claim to love.
You'll become like our father.
Fossil!
Who no one cares about.
Why are you? - Forget it! Enough!
Hey, dear.
I was searching for you.
I've cooked some
Puris and mutton for you. Please
come and have some, okay?
Do you still remember?
Hey, why wouldn't
I remember?
You used to ask all this of me when you were small.
Don't cry, dear. Everything will be fine.
Everything.
Do you have dinner at my place, okay?
Bye.
Do you feel good now?
I couldn't believe that you'd really come.
I got my first paycheque in Kolkata.
So I wanted you to have Chinese.
Um.
What exactly have you thought about your future?
I'll be a photographer.
I've even received offers from two ad agencies.
Let's see.
I'll take photography seriously.
When would you say it?
Next year?
Okay, then.
I'm going, okay?
You guys, carry on.
Hey, Christine, please stay some more.
Darn, you!
Christine, please stay.
Sorry.
I was very embarrassed.
I was afraid of telling you the truth.
I couldn't even imagine
that you'd dropout.
You were always so excited about this.
Your life over there.
Your future.
Way from this hell hole.
I thought about a lot of things.
Could I do it?
Living over there.
Classes, assignments.
Even with all that, I used to cry often.
I used to palpitate.
Anxiety.
I had to wake up every morning
and again, a fresh struggle.
There was no breakthrough in the research too.
There was no motivation for me to live over there too.
Do you know I started to feel very empty from within?
I used to think
that this PhD was very important to you.
Even more than me.
You were wrong.
The important thing was doing the PhD with you.
To explore a new city with you.
To share an apartment.
If you had any mood swings and wanted to have biryani,
to get the best 'kacchi biryani' for you.
I broke up with Siddharth.
After you went away
everyone was a rebound, Ritoban.
Everyone.
Why have you told me all this?
I didn't know who else to tell.
Ritoban, I had to tell someone. - What did you think?
That I'll hug and console you
and say everything will be okay, right?
What's wrong with you?
Have I asked you for consolation? - I won't be able to give you that.
I'm getting old.
Where were you all these years? - Talk softly.
You ran away.
Did I run away? - Yes.
Amazing.
I tried communicating day after day.
Before going and even after going.
You blocked me everywhere.
Go check your email spam box. I've mailed you so many times.
When I needed you the most, where were you?
Where were you?
Didn't you know?
Didn't you know about my situation then?
I knew.
It could've worked out a way.
You could've come next year. - Oh really?
Could we've worked out a way?
Ritoban.
Everything isn't that easy.
And stop looking at things from your own perspective.
You do this every darn time.
Hey you guys. What are you standing here?
Dude, it's your farewell.
You guys carry on. I'll catch up.
Dad, what's wrong? Why are you calling me so much? I am...
'Heart attack?'
'Yes, massive heart attack. She died at home.'
'Her family is...'
"Suffer I can"
"a lot"
"more hurt."
"Suffer I can a lot"
"more hurt."
"Play a tune more severe"
"on my heartstrings."
"The melody"
'Anindita, all of this is a loan from me.'
I'll take back every penny
from you once you get a job.
And as interest.
The Europe tour
is a must. I'm informing you in advance.
Starting eating.
"you awaken"
"scaled, it has"
"not the"
Anindita, please open the door.
"highest note."
You're not answering my calls. It's been three days.
You're not coming out of your room.
"The melody you..."
Anindita!
"scaled, it has"
Anindita.
"not the"
"highest note."
"Thus is merciless tremors,"
"manifest"
"yourself in music."
"Suffer I can"
"a lot"
"more"
"pain."
"Suffer I can"
"a lot more pain."
A great journey awaits you.
Concentrate on that.
If such an opportunity slips through your hands,
you'll regret it later.
Always remember that not everyone gets such an opportunity.
You need to focus.
You can't have both things.
Focus on your studies.
Thank God you'll be away from all this and immersed in your studies.
'Thanks.'
The gift is amazing.
We are supposed to go to London in two weeks, and
you've shut yourself. You're even unreachable over the phone.
I won't be going.
Okay.
And you didn't think of telling this to me, right?
How does it matter?
What do you mean?
For heaven's sake, we both were supposed to travel together,
study together. Are you joking?
- Over here, dad is worried about me. - Of course!
Of course, Ritoban.
You must go, don't lose a year. Do whatever you want.
Why are you speaking to me like this?
After you go to London, it's best that we don't contact each other.
Oh!
You're breaking up with me!
Bye.
I don't like it.
Hey, why are you up?
Leave all that.
Did you book a ticket?
Your class starts next week.
Meh.
I just got the visa yesterday.
Let's see.
I haven't decided what I'll do yet.
I wanted a validation and I've got it.
That's it.
What do you mean?
You used to be all about ambition during college.
What about that?
Dad, don't talk dumb.
If I go to New York, will you come along? You won't come, right?
Who'll look after you once I'm gone?
Everything isn't that simple, right?
Anyway, you'll have tea, right?
What's all this?
What are you doing?
You shouldn't delay anymore.
Book the ticket. Quick.
All these startups have come up to take care of me.
They'll do hourly
checkups, and make reports.
The doctor will visit me.
Just give me a call three-four,
no, just two times a day.
That'll suffice
and on Christmas,
get me a cake from Saldanha.
Hmm.
What are you looking at?
Go get me the tea.
Go.
Five years ago, when the excitement of leaving the city was at its peak,
back then, all the doors just closed on me.
And now the city itself wants to kick me out.
Great.
Perfect timing.
What do you mean?
I mean, I somehow settled even if I didn't want to
and now you're finally going away.
I don't have any reason to stay back, right?
What do you think?
I'm leaving. I have a lot of work to do.
Anindita.
Change the watch already.
Thank you. - I've forwarded your request.
It's my friend's company. - Hmm.
It's a start-up. - Hmm.
So he's looking for a creative director.
No one wants to live in Kolkata anymore.
Give it a try. Feel that place as your own.
I don't know if anyone wants to stay, but they all come back here.
So many years and so many incidents.
But you're still the same.
Shayak, why aren't you joining this agency? I mean
we both could've worked together. Art and copy partners.
I'm above all that.
I can't do that job.
No offence.
Apart from that
I sometimes write jingles for them.
Leave all that. Get to the point.
What point?
Anindita's flight is in 12 hours.
Will you again give up? - What can I even do?
She was already dating someone else, and then NYU, all of a sudden.
Everything happened so quick.
Anyway, leave it. - Ritoban, look.
Life doesn't give everyone a time-turner.
I've noticed you guys
at Rehan's place.
That spark's still there. It's still palpable.
I don't know why you guys
give up on each other every time.
Or maybe it's this bloody city.
"When you're like an eclipse on the moon,"
"you want to wash away the coast."
"You take the lead whenever you wish"
"even if the wind is flowing adversely."
"Just then my sweetness"
"forgets its way and reaches your shores."
"Just then, in the village, which is sleeping,"
"there are 700 hopes from 500 countries."
"Leaving all hopes in the name of hopes,"
"breaking seasons in the name of hope."
"Hope to break through the opposing clouds"
"and touch my unworldly wounds."
"Leaving all hopes in the name of hopes,"
"breaking seasons in the name of hope."
"Hope to break through the opposing clouds"
"and touch my unworldly wounds."
Do well.
Can you lift it? - Sure, I can.
But what's inside of it?
Dead body? - My entire household.
Yeah, that I know.
Anindita, I'm here.
I'll take care of uncle, don't you worry.
But I don't know how long you will stay in New York.
Don't talk rubbish.
Listen.
I still think I should drop you.
I know.
But do you know what? It's tough for me to leave
behind the past.
I don't want to get entangled again.
Goodbye.
Bye. - Bye.
Bye.
Take care of yourself.
'The voice that you all know very well.'
'That Anindita bids adieu'
'to her favourite city today.'
'And hence, '
'I, RJ Rupsha, will be here with you'
'along with the hottest day of the city.'
'You all can call me now and share'
'your favourite tales about this city.'
Got the whole thing. Before you know...
I have a request. Please.
Please.
Anindita.
'Do you remember when I told you that everything'
'will be fine once we get a time machine?'
Actually, Kolkata itself is a time machine.
'It can take you to the past at any moment.'
If I go to the past, I won't
repeat the mistakes the old Ritoban did.
'I'll say it looking straight into your eyes.'
'That, Anindita.'
However naive it sounds,
however dumb it sounds,
I love you.
'And I'll keep loving you like this for my entire life.'
'I know that you might not return.'
'I know that you don't like waiting.'
'We may run away from Kolkata as much as we like.'
Kolkata will still remember
all of our broken tales.
'I was very late to say this.'
Be good.
"Memories on both sides, the future in both eyes".
"My city is like an amazing time machine."
"A large submarine in the ocean of memories."
"My city is like a time machine counting days."
"Wherever these eyes look at,"
"that's where the time stops."
"the time stops."
"Now I shall leave, we shall meet again."
"Let the city stay with me, which is a time machine that counts days."
"Memories on both sides, the future in both eyes".
"My city is..."
Airport.
'...an amazing time machine.'
"If you leave me behind,"
"tomorrow, you'll have to come back."
"At the bends of the road, you'll be able to find"
"the story of our lost time."
"Do search in that familiar place,"
"if we can ever get back together,"
"if we can again fall in love."
"I know that getting back is hard but"
"forgetting everything is much harder."
"My city knows which is a time machine that counts days."
"Memories on both sides, the future in both eyes".
"My city is like an amazing time machine."
'Let my city be a time machine that counts days.'
