WEBVTT

00:12.840 --> 00:15.160
-Is it working?
-No, it's not. Connect it correctly.

00:15.880 --> 00:17.240
How many times should I do it?

00:17.360 --> 00:20.280
-It's connected. Wait. Stay there.
-Okay.

00:31.280 --> 00:32.280
'Lucky calling.'

00:33.920 --> 00:34.920
'Lucky calling.'

00:35.440 --> 00:37.280
-Yes, Lucky.
-Hello, Annu.

00:37.600 --> 00:39.920
-Come to the bridge.
I can't come there.

00:40.320 --> 00:41.760
I am busy with accounts.

00:41.920 --> 00:44.240
-It's Sunday.
-I know it's Sunday.

00:44.480 --> 00:46.640
-And tomorrow is Monday.
-What's the matter?

00:47.200 --> 00:49.560
Shashi, Ranjan fired you from the job.

00:50.160 --> 00:53.520
But he crushes my peace
of mind bit by bit.

00:53.760 --> 00:55.280
He enjoys doing it.

00:55.440 --> 00:57.080
-My friend...
-Well, do this.

00:58.160 --> 00:59.440
Come over. We shall talk here.

01:00.000 --> 01:01.360
-Okay. I am coming.
-All right.

01:02.160 --> 01:03.680
Golu, it got disconnected again.

01:03.880 --> 01:05.320
-Oh man.
-Do it properly.

01:05.640 --> 01:07.760
It's connected. Stay there.

01:14.000 --> 01:15.000
Shanti.

01:15.720 --> 01:18.560
-Did you see Wednesday's newspaper?
-I saw it on Wednesday.

01:21.080 --> 01:24.600
Saturday, Friday. I never
get what I want in this house.

01:25.280 --> 01:28.240
Why ask for Wednesday's newspaper?
There are enough jokes in today's paper.

01:28.800 --> 01:32.520
Well, my boss has become
a joke in the entire office.

01:33.720 --> 01:36.360
Last week, the secretary on
special duty visited our office.

01:36.840 --> 01:39.040
His photo with my boss
was in the newspapers.

01:39.920 --> 01:41.800
I didn't congratulate him
as I didn't see it.

01:42.080 --> 01:45.320
So, he just won't sign
a file I sent for his approval.

01:45.480 --> 01:48.240
-He's miffed with me.
-How will getting that photo help?

01:48.520 --> 01:49.800
Well, I am thinking

01:50.480 --> 01:53.800
of cutting the photo from the newspaper,
getting it laminated

01:54.160 --> 01:56.560
and keeping it in the file.
That may appease him.

01:57.400 --> 02:00.360
The house is in a mess.
You won't get what you want.

02:00.520 --> 02:03.920
You have aged. Yet, I need
to do all the work.

02:04.160 --> 02:06.800
Where are these two?
Who's in the bathroom? Annu?

02:07.040 --> 02:08.600
-Aman.
-Oh.

02:11.040 --> 02:14.480
What's the matter with the water supply?
It's getting slow. I think it's going.

02:15.400 --> 02:18.080
-Where is it going?
-It's just going from here.

02:18.480 --> 02:21.280
-Where is it going to?
-Stop talking nonsense.

02:21.360 --> 02:23.760
Fill the vessels up.
Annu, come downstairs!

02:23.920 --> 02:25.280
Aman, fill the bucket.

02:25.440 --> 02:28.520
Why should there be water supply issues
on a Sunday morning?

02:28.600 --> 02:30.360
Had the water supply board
sent any notice?

02:31.080 --> 02:32.200
Does your electricity department send

02:32.280 --> 02:33.920
a notice before cutting
off the power supply?

02:33.960 --> 02:37.480
Power supply is a national problem.
But there's no dearth of water.

02:37.800 --> 02:40.400
Ours is a country of lakes,
ponds and rivers.

02:40.600 --> 02:41.720
Keep filling the water.

02:41.760 --> 02:43.400
Otherwise forget a river,
you'll have to bathe in a drain.

02:43.520 --> 02:44.240
Forget about it.

02:44.320 --> 02:46.800
What's the matter, mom? Who are you
planning to throw in the drain?

02:46.960 --> 02:49.160
Fill all vessels up.
The water supply will soon stop.

02:49.280 --> 02:51.120
-Really? -The water supply
will stop. Just fill it up.

02:51.440 --> 02:52.440
Oh no.

03:12.600 --> 03:13.600
Oh no.

03:26.320 --> 03:27.680
-Did you fill the bucket?
-Did you fill the bucket?

03:40.040 --> 03:42.440
-The bucket is empty.
-Amazing.

03:43.120 --> 03:45.160
How will I bathe now?
I have oiled my hair.

03:45.520 --> 03:47.040
Dad, turn on the water pump.

03:47.360 --> 03:49.240
The water pump is not a machine
that creates water.

03:49.880 --> 03:52.600
If there is no water,
how will the water pump work?

03:52.760 --> 03:54.240
Dad, bathe with a little water then.

03:54.440 --> 03:56.520
Wait. I need this water
for the whole day.

03:56.760 --> 04:00.440
Shanti, you are so careless.
Why didn't you store water beforehand?

04:00.600 --> 04:03.320
-What should I store it in?
-In that huge drum of yours.

04:03.480 --> 04:05.760
-Which drum?
-The blue one.

04:06.120 --> 04:07.280
Really? Where is the drum?

04:09.480 --> 04:10.800
-Where?
-Tell me.

04:10.960 --> 04:12.320
How would I know?

04:15.360 --> 04:16.680
It stinks.

04:19.040 --> 04:20.160
Shanti Devi.

04:21.160 --> 04:25.360
Why have you filled it with the dowry
items you brought from your home?

04:25.560 --> 04:27.160
These are not my dowry items.

04:27.360 --> 04:29.640
You are Alibaba and these
are all your treasures.

04:29.760 --> 04:32.640
You throw them away carelessly
while I gather them and dump them here.

04:32.720 --> 04:34.520
Do you mean this trash belongs to me?

04:34.840 --> 04:37.560
Does this class 8 textbook, Gulmohar,
belong to me? Look at this.

04:38.400 --> 04:40.520
The board exam books must also be mine.

04:41.000 --> 04:44.520
And this old tap?
I must have kept it safely.

04:44.600 --> 04:46.120
-Yes.
-And what's this?

04:48.520 --> 04:49.880
A half-iron rod.

04:50.360 --> 04:51.360
Where is the rest of it?

04:51.760 --> 04:54.240
This is what was left after we used it
for the gate we made for the house.

04:54.360 --> 04:55.960
You said this is iron
and will come in handy later.

04:56.280 --> 04:59.160
-I see.
-What will a half-iron rod be used for?

04:59.240 --> 05:02.080
Your dad will shove it in his navel
and fly like a helicopter.

05:05.640 --> 05:07.120
Did you hear that?

05:07.600 --> 05:08.760
She projects herself to be
the devotee of Vishnu avatar,

05:08.840 --> 05:09.960
Narasimha, and will
never talk about her flaws

05:10.320 --> 05:12.120
but paint me fallacious
by portraying me as Hiranyakashyap.

05:12.280 --> 05:16.200
She says I'll shove it in my navel.
Look what all you have dumped inside.

05:16.520 --> 05:18.000
May this drum catch fire for all I care.

05:18.240 --> 05:19.680
Listen, both of you.

05:20.040 --> 05:23.920
Search this house and gather all the
things that can be shoved up my navel,

05:24.160 --> 05:27.120
put them in this drum
and leave it at a crossroads.

05:27.360 --> 05:30.320
Why throw it at a crossroads? Sell it
as scrap. We'll make some money.

05:31.080 --> 05:32.680
That's a great idea.

05:32.960 --> 05:36.440
-Annu, get the scrap dealer.
-I am quite busy today.

05:37.440 --> 05:39.920
I said this trash won't be disposed
of from this house.

05:40.120 --> 05:42.800
-This drum won't be emptied.
-This has to go.

05:43.680 --> 05:46.920
I'll get the scrap dealer home.
This drum shall be emptied today,

05:47.080 --> 05:48.760
washed properly
and filled with water tomorrow.

05:48.880 --> 05:51.760
How can you go, dad?
You have oiled your hair.

05:51.920 --> 05:54.080
Does your father walk
using his head that he might slip?

05:54.200 --> 05:56.800
I will walk using my head even if
that means slipping at every step.

05:56.920 --> 05:59.160
-But I will get the scrap dealer.
-No, mom.

05:59.320 --> 06:01.800
Let me go, dad.
I shall bargain with him.

06:01.960 --> 06:04.240
-In the meanwhile, clear this trash.
-Yes.

06:12.120 --> 06:13.200
Why are you smiling?

06:14.000 --> 06:17.240
The show has ended.
Wear your clothes and leave.

06:17.640 --> 06:21.040
-Dad, you'll look cool if you walk
upside down. -Really? Here you go.

06:22.640 --> 06:25.480
-Surya Narayan.
-Tell me, Aman.

06:25.600 --> 06:29.000
-The money will be arranged.
-Really? How?

06:29.880 --> 06:31.720
We are clearing the scrap in our house.

06:31.880 --> 06:34.240
-Wow.
-Do you know of any scrap dealers?

06:34.400 --> 06:36.360
Of course. I do.

06:38.320 --> 06:40.600
'Scrap, useless stuff and junk.'

06:41.040 --> 06:42.840
'You may also call them used goods.'

06:43.400 --> 06:48.000
'You may call the useless stuff
at home whatever you want.'

06:48.560 --> 06:51.200
'It always ends up as scrap
on a weighing scale.'

06:52.640 --> 06:57.560
'And that is when you realise
that the junk is not exactly useless.'

06:59.960 --> 07:03.400
'It will fetch you money which
can be put in the piggy bank.'

07:05.680 --> 07:08.760
'But which stuff
is useless and which is not,'

07:10.240 --> 07:13.200
'this is decided by a high-ranking
committee in the house.'

07:14.280 --> 07:17.320
'A committee that can never
make a unanimous decision.'

07:19.360 --> 07:23.880
'The Mishra family has decided
to clear the junk items at home.'

07:26.000 --> 07:30.760
'The committee of four members
will have a meeting today at home.'

08:16.920 --> 08:19.440
'Episode 3, Junk At Home'

08:23.040 --> 08:26.720
I hope you are aware of the new rates.
I am Surya Narayan's close friend.

08:26.840 --> 08:29.920
You will get your cut for sure. Okay?

08:32.240 --> 08:35.160
Dad, I got the scrap dealer.

08:35.960 --> 08:38.640
Call me a scrap merchant.
Scrap dealer sounds coarse.

08:38.880 --> 08:41.120
-Sorry, brother. Don't mind.
-It's okay.

08:41.680 --> 08:45.160
-Greetings, sir. Greetings, ma'am.
-Greetings.

08:46.280 --> 08:49.480
Well, tell me.
What rates have you fixed?

08:50.280 --> 08:52.120
The newspapers will be Rs. 10 per kilo.

08:52.240 --> 08:54.040
Books will be Rs. 20 per kilo.

08:54.200 --> 08:55.640
I shall give you the estimate
about other things after seeing them.

08:55.720 --> 08:57.240
Who have you got home, Aman?

08:57.720 --> 08:59.800
Rs. 10 for a kilogram of newspapers.
Is this a joke?

09:00.000 --> 09:02.120
Dad, I brought the cheapest
scrap seller.

09:02.200 --> 09:04.160
You fool, we are here to sell this junk.

09:05.360 --> 09:07.840
-You should have got someone
who quotes high rates. -Hey.

09:08.200 --> 09:11.120
Dad, other junk dealers
were quoting low rates.

09:11.280 --> 09:15.000
-Right? -No, those rates are too low.
I suggest you send your father here.

09:15.320 --> 09:17.360
I shall talk to him and decide.

09:17.800 --> 09:20.400
Sir, I am the only one
who runs this business.

09:20.880 --> 09:23.400
You may enquire elsewhere.
These are the prevailing rates.

09:23.680 --> 09:26.040
-Really?
-You wanted to throw the stuff away.

09:26.480 --> 09:27.640
Sell it as junk.

09:27.800 --> 09:30.920
Should I sell it for such low rates?
Look at him.

09:31.160 --> 09:32.760
He won't take his eyes off the stuff.

09:33.800 --> 09:35.800
Aman, have breakfast.

09:36.000 --> 09:38.200
-Do you want something, brother?
-I won't mind a cup of tea.

09:39.200 --> 09:42.200
Mom, two cups of tea, please.
I'll take just about anything with it.

09:44.960 --> 09:47.000
All right, Mr. Scrap Merchant.

09:49.120 --> 09:53.040
I don't want you to struggle hard
to gather the stuff, tie it up

09:53.440 --> 09:54.920
only to hear me refusing to sell it.

09:56.840 --> 10:00.920
That is why I want you
to decide the rate of all this stuff.

10:02.200 --> 10:04.600
Sir, I won't take it
without your permission.

10:04.960 --> 10:09.600
-What if you get adamant on low rates?
-No, I won't. I'll quote the best rates.

10:09.720 --> 10:10.720
May I see the stuff?

10:10.760 --> 10:12.080
-Yes, please.
-Have a look.

10:13.640 --> 10:15.400
You have struck gold today.

10:16.240 --> 10:19.880
Sir, all of these things,
even we call it junk.

10:22.920 --> 10:23.920
I'll take this.

10:33.200 --> 10:34.560
I'll also take this.

10:36.600 --> 10:37.600
Shanti,

10:38.440 --> 10:41.320
-did we ever have an exhaust fan
in the kitchen? -Never.

10:42.280 --> 10:43.280
Do you have a cooler?

10:44.200 --> 10:45.960
No. We have an AC.

10:46.360 --> 10:48.160
Perhaps, you had one in the past.
This fan belongs to it.

10:48.400 --> 10:51.720
Oh yes. I see a motor behind the fan.

10:52.080 --> 10:54.560
-You must pay me extra for it.
-I will.

10:55.120 --> 10:56.120
Rs. 250.

10:57.840 --> 11:00.040
Sir, it's a defunct 100 watt motor.

11:00.160 --> 11:02.080
It's not some heavy-duty transformer
in the neighbourhood.

11:03.720 --> 11:05.480
-Are you in the electricity department?
-What?

11:05.560 --> 11:06.560
I am.

11:06.760 --> 11:09.960
So don't teach me anything
about current and wattage. Got it?

11:11.160 --> 11:12.160
Annu!

11:12.480 --> 11:14.560
-Greetings, sir.
-Greetings, dear.

11:15.880 --> 11:16.880
Disposing junk?

11:17.920 --> 11:19.080
What price are you quoting?

11:19.760 --> 11:22.760
-Are you going to work on a Sunday?
-No, pal.

11:23.440 --> 11:26.920
-I mean, yes.
-Since when does no mean yes?

11:27.200 --> 11:29.080
Are you going to work or not?

11:30.120 --> 11:32.360
I am not going to the office
but for some official work.

11:32.760 --> 11:36.200
Heard that, Shanti? These are
employees in the private sector.

11:36.480 --> 11:38.280
They work on Sundays too.

11:38.600 --> 11:41.720
Why don't you employees unite
and protest against your boss?

11:42.880 --> 11:45.800
Tell your boss that it is
a violation of human rights.

11:46.000 --> 11:49.960
He stays away from the workers' union
but he wants his son to be a leader.

11:50.240 --> 11:52.200
-Lucky. Come upstairs.
-Yes.

11:52.480 --> 11:55.440
-I am coming.
-Why be so loyal to a private company?

11:55.840 --> 11:59.240
Will they give free medicines
to your family after you are gone?

11:59.760 --> 12:02.800
Ma'am, please give me
a plastic cover to put on my hand.

12:03.000 --> 12:04.000
Why?

12:04.080 --> 12:07.360
I see a snack made of bread in this.
It must be a couple of years old.

12:08.800 --> 12:10.800
-Do you want to eat it?
-Wednesday's newspaper.

12:11.040 --> 12:12.760
I need to take it out.

12:13.160 --> 12:15.880
-The ants are nibbling at it. Look.
-What's happening?

12:16.120 --> 12:18.000
-See for yourself.
-Oh.

12:18.640 --> 12:21.040
My boss looks so fat in this.

12:25.080 --> 12:27.680
Brother, how much will I get?

12:28.160 --> 12:32.000
I see only papers. Get something heavy.
That will fetch more money.

12:33.400 --> 12:35.320
-Hey. Why are you tearing it?
-What?

12:36.160 --> 12:39.120
The cardboard won't
be charged the same as paper.

12:40.120 --> 12:43.560
-How much will the cardboard fetch?
-I take this for free.

12:44.560 --> 12:47.600
Get something heavy, brother.
Only that will help.

12:48.240 --> 12:51.560
-Just papers won't do.
-Okay. Let me do something.

12:58.120 --> 12:59.360
-Annu.
-Yes.

12:59.920 --> 13:02.120
You didn't tell your family
that I got fired from my job.

13:03.120 --> 13:05.720
Is it some great accomplishment
that I should announce to everyone?

13:07.360 --> 13:10.680
-Did you tell it to your family?
-I have to.

13:11.880 --> 13:13.560
Where are you off to, all decked up?

13:14.680 --> 13:15.680
I am going to meet.

13:17.880 --> 13:18.880
Meet who?

13:21.920 --> 13:23.760
A friend. A girl.

13:24.680 --> 13:27.160
A girl is your friend?

13:28.160 --> 13:31.040
-Come on, Lucky. Pick it up.
-Why, pal?

13:31.600 --> 13:34.560
-Can't a girl be my friend?
-Does she know that she is your friend?

13:37.000 --> 13:39.280
Pal, don't say such things.

13:41.760 --> 13:43.200
-Come.
-This is something big.

13:45.400 --> 13:46.400
What is it?

13:49.000 --> 13:50.200
I am going to propose to her.

13:51.360 --> 13:52.360
You?

13:57.080 --> 13:58.760
Lucky.

14:11.480 --> 14:13.040
Wow, Lucky!

14:13.880 --> 14:15.240
Your handwriting is pathetic.

14:15.960 --> 14:19.320
-Why is the rose so small?
-She is a small girl.

14:20.640 --> 14:21.800
I hope she is an adult.

14:22.120 --> 14:24.840
-She is in class 12.
-A schoolkid! She can't be an adult!

14:25.240 --> 14:27.680
Love doesn't see age.

14:27.920 --> 14:29.240
Where did you meet her?

14:29.920 --> 14:31.040
She's from my locality.

14:31.320 --> 14:33.680
She would call me Brother Lucky
three years ago.

14:33.800 --> 14:36.840
I scolded her one day.
I told her to stop calling me that.

14:37.240 --> 14:40.280
She started crying. I pacified her
and we became friends.

14:41.120 --> 14:42.840
What if she rejects your proposal?

14:42.960 --> 14:44.640
I am here to ask you about that.

14:44.720 --> 14:46.480
How would I know?
I have no experience in this.

14:47.480 --> 14:49.480
You are an expert at advising
without having any relevant experience.

14:50.760 --> 14:52.680
-Tell me.
-Do you know what consent is?

14:53.960 --> 14:56.560
-Sounds like a new restaurant.
-Lucky, are you an idiot?

14:58.720 --> 15:01.880
-Take this. Go and propose to her.
Get lost. Go now! -Brother.

15:02.080 --> 15:03.400
Go. I have work to do.

15:04.040 --> 15:05.040
Just look at him.

15:05.400 --> 15:07.600
-You have changed, Annu.
-You will have it from me now.

15:16.640 --> 15:19.120
Take that. The thing on your left.

15:21.160 --> 15:22.160
Yes.

15:23.080 --> 15:26.040
-That too. Yes. Take it out.
-Is this junk?

15:26.440 --> 15:28.000
What do we have on this side?

15:31.320 --> 15:33.280
Hey, mister. Keep this vessel back.

15:33.640 --> 15:35.960
-We can get it weighed.
-There is no need for that.

15:36.120 --> 15:39.520
Why are you so affectionate to it?
When was the last time you even saw it?

15:39.680 --> 15:42.360
Years ago. And I will see it
many years from now.

15:42.440 --> 15:44.120
But this vessel stays right here
in this house.

15:44.240 --> 15:48.320
Sir, it weighs around 8 kg.
I'll bill it for 10 kg.

15:48.680 --> 15:50.520
We'll get a good price for it.

15:50.840 --> 15:53.040
Mister, we won't sell this vessel.

15:53.160 --> 15:55.240
Hey. What's going on?

15:55.400 --> 15:58.320
Your father wants to dispose of
the brass vessels I got as gifts

15:58.440 --> 16:01.280
-in my wedding.
-Only because it is junk.

16:01.480 --> 16:04.560
You hadn't got valuable jewellery
for me to treasure.

16:04.720 --> 16:08.040
Mom, your name and the anniversary date
are etched on it.

16:08.160 --> 16:10.280
This must be your Uncle Pinky's idea.

16:10.320 --> 16:14.000
-He thinks I'll steal utensils.
-Heard that, kids?

16:14.040 --> 16:16.920
Uncle Pinky was right. Your dad is stealing it.

16:17.600 --> 16:18.800
You may call me a thief.

16:19.160 --> 16:22.400
But nobody should blame me
for collecting junk in this house.

16:29.840 --> 16:32.600
Mister, get that yellow bag
from that side.

16:32.960 --> 16:36.160
-Why? Why ask for it?
What do you need that for? -Get it.

16:36.440 --> 16:39.200
-What if the mixer goes bad?
-We'll get it repaired.

16:39.480 --> 16:42.440
Dad, why do you treasure
this age-old grinding stone?

16:42.520 --> 16:45.120
-Dear, you know nothing about it.
-Let me tell you.

16:45.280 --> 16:49.160
It is something that was used by
his mother. Therefore, it is not junk.

16:49.240 --> 16:51.320
But whatever
my family gifted me is junk.

16:51.440 --> 16:55.680
Dear, a chutney tastes heavenly
if it is ground using a grinding stone.

16:55.880 --> 16:58.720
-Right. -And so does the food
cooked in a brass vessel.

16:58.840 --> 17:00.760
Use it then. You never do that.

17:01.040 --> 17:05.160
Oh, mom and dad are getting
emotional unnecessarily. I have an idea.

17:05.720 --> 17:08.560
-Let's dispose of both the items.
-No. Get it here.

17:09.000 --> 17:11.080
Get it here. Give it to me.

17:11.560 --> 17:13.560
Dad, he is right.

17:13.840 --> 17:15.800
We will get new stuff
only when we dispose of the old.

17:15.880 --> 17:16.880
-No, dear.
-Yes.

17:20.760 --> 17:22.160
Why is this so heavy?

17:23.600 --> 17:25.560
It has dolls in it.

17:25.800 --> 17:27.600
Dolls? What's inside?

17:28.480 --> 17:30.760
-Exercise equipment.
-Hey, this...

17:31.120 --> 17:32.600
-It's nothing.
-One minute.

17:33.520 --> 17:34.520
Dolls.

17:35.440 --> 17:38.560
This... You want to sell
my dumbbells without my knowledge?

17:38.880 --> 17:40.520
But you don't use them, Annu.

17:40.560 --> 17:42.760
You don't use your brains.
Shall we sell them?

17:42.880 --> 17:44.040
How much will his brains fetch?

17:44.200 --> 17:47.440
Dad, I don't get time from work.
Otherwise, don't I work out regularly?

17:48.520 --> 17:50.600
All right. Where were they kept?

17:53.960 --> 17:57.000
-Somewhere here. -Dad, he has
no clue about where they were kept.

17:57.160 --> 17:59.440
Annu, you are an employed man now.

17:59.520 --> 18:02.720
Join a gym. Rajesh has
opened a gym in Shantipur.

18:02.920 --> 18:05.600
Brick Muscle.
It's got such awesome machines.

18:05.840 --> 18:08.640
Well, how much does
a monthly membership cost?

18:08.720 --> 18:10.120
Just 800 rupees.

18:10.240 --> 18:12.320
-Really?
-Shall I make you work out now?

18:13.920 --> 18:16.880
I have told you many times not to
touch my stuff without my permission.

18:19.840 --> 18:20.840
Hey.

18:23.560 --> 18:25.720
If this goes on, we won't
be able to dispose of any stuff.

18:25.800 --> 18:27.520
The three of you are adding junk here.

18:27.760 --> 18:30.320
We can't dispose of necessary stuff.

18:30.480 --> 18:34.240
Then why had you kept it as junk?
We struggled hard to get it out.

18:34.760 --> 18:38.440
Dear, you will get wages for your
efforts. Please keep it back. Come on.

18:48.240 --> 18:50.240
'As soon as irritating items of junk'

18:51.200 --> 18:53.760
'is put on the weighing scale, it feels'

18:54.080 --> 18:58.000
'as if the daughter of the house
is being sent off after her wedding.'

18:59.480 --> 19:01.680
'No matter what amount
of money we are offered,'

19:02.800 --> 19:06.400
'we don't feel like parting
ways with that junk.'

19:08.600 --> 19:11.320
'So what if it is old?
It was new at one point.'

19:15.720 --> 19:19.480
'Fond memories of those items
revisit us in an instant.'

19:21.240 --> 19:24.600
'Don't call this love for junk as
idleness of middle-class people.'

19:27.240 --> 19:28.640
'Nor is it greed.'

19:29.400 --> 19:32.720
'It's not like they will
use that stuff again.'

19:35.320 --> 19:38.360
'But one feels guilty when selling it.'

19:39.480 --> 19:41.640
'It feels like the junk is telling us.'

19:43.000 --> 19:45.040
'Today, you are selling me.'

19:45.800 --> 19:48.240
'Tomorrow, you will sell
your ageing parents.'

19:56.200 --> 19:57.920
I hope we can make around
300 to 400 rupees.

20:00.640 --> 20:01.720
Stop dreaming.

20:03.560 --> 20:05.720
Your family won't sell any heavy stuff.

20:05.880 --> 20:07.960
All right. Gather this.

20:08.040 --> 20:10.720
-Annu's mom, where are you?
-Where did she come from?

20:11.040 --> 20:13.080
-They are making so much noise.
-Hey, listen.

20:13.360 --> 20:15.440
This lady is the best junk
you can ever get.

20:16.600 --> 20:20.000
Annu's mom, you seem
to be clearing the junk.

20:21.120 --> 20:22.720
You have called a junk dealer.

20:23.480 --> 20:26.400
Aunty, call him a scrap merchant.
Junk dealer sounds coarse.

20:26.840 --> 20:30.640
I am here to take some water.
Shall I take it? Half a bucket will do.

20:30.960 --> 20:34.280
Such a big bucket.
It's equal to a full bucket for us.

20:34.520 --> 20:37.200
Never mind. I shall take it from
someone else.

20:38.120 --> 20:39.480
What rate are you buying this at?

20:39.560 --> 20:42.040
At the prevailing rates.
Mom, give her water.

20:42.880 --> 20:44.440
Junk dealer,

20:44.840 --> 20:46.400
what rate are you buying this stuff at?

20:48.720 --> 20:51.960
Newspapers will fetch Rs. 10 per kilo.
Damaged ones will get Rs. 5 per kilo.

20:52.280 --> 20:54.640
Books and copies at Rs. 20
and Rs. 15 per kilo respectively.

20:54.720 --> 20:55.720
No cardboard is taken into account.

20:55.800 --> 20:57.800
I can also estimate
a rate for your bucket.

20:57.880 --> 20:59.280
Go for it.

20:59.600 --> 21:03.000
Hey, Annu's mom, where did you find
such a talkative person?

21:03.880 --> 21:07.480
-I have never seen him here.
-Nor have I.

21:08.360 --> 21:10.880
-How did you let him in?
-Aunt, I have seen him.

21:11.400 --> 21:13.120
Where is your shop, mister?

21:13.520 --> 21:17.320
Ma'am, it was at Purani Chungi.
I shut it down.

21:17.560 --> 21:19.120
I am working from home.

21:19.240 --> 21:22.520
An unfamiliar person
with no shop of his.

21:22.840 --> 21:25.440
Will you sell this stuff
at the flea market?

21:27.880 --> 21:29.320
Tell me. Where have you come from?

21:29.560 --> 21:31.400
I have been visiting
this locality for years

21:31.480 --> 21:32.920
but never stopped by your place.

21:33.560 --> 21:36.240
I pass by this place every third Sunday
with my vehicle.

21:36.400 --> 21:39.400
-I do call out loudly.
-Do it now.

21:40.960 --> 21:42.440
-What?
-Call out.

21:44.400 --> 21:45.400
Call out.

21:46.080 --> 21:47.080
Call out.

21:47.640 --> 21:49.240
Come on. Call out.

21:58.680 --> 22:02.360
Junk dealer.

22:03.480 --> 22:08.440
I'll take old books and newspapers.

22:09.960 --> 22:12.840
Scrap merchant.

22:13.880 --> 22:21.640
-I'll take old books and newspapers.
-Wow.

22:22.280 --> 22:25.000
Yes. So good to hear it after a long.

22:25.800 --> 22:29.880
-Annu's dad, did you
check his weighing scale or not? -Why?

22:30.200 --> 22:34.040
Ma'am, this weighing scale
is honest. It never lies.

22:34.280 --> 22:35.640
-Show us.
-What?

22:36.040 --> 22:37.680
-Honesty.
-No.

22:38.280 --> 22:40.040
Annu's mom, don't you know this?

22:40.200 --> 22:44.120
These people fix a magnet
under their weighing scale.

22:46.560 --> 22:50.640
He doesn't look that educated. He must
have applied wax to make one scale heavy.

22:51.000 --> 22:52.560
Excuse me, ma'am.

22:52.640 --> 22:54.760
I am pursuing graduation
from an open university.

22:54.960 --> 22:56.560
You may check the weighing scales.

22:56.720 --> 23:00.360
If you find any discrepancy, I'll pay
100 rupees per kilo for everything.

23:00.440 --> 23:01.480
Respect.

23:01.640 --> 23:03.120
-Truly?
-Yes.

23:04.520 --> 23:06.000
Don't go back on your word.

23:06.160 --> 23:09.240
-I won't.
-Annu's dad, keep an eye on him

23:09.680 --> 23:12.040
while I get my honest weighing scale.

23:12.200 --> 23:15.400
I am not going anywhere.
This is about my reputation now.

23:15.520 --> 23:17.640
-I'll bring your reputation now.
-Sure. Bring it here.

23:18.480 --> 23:21.680
Aman, get the stuff underneath the sink.

23:21.880 --> 23:24.600
-What is that now?
-The bag of your sins.

23:29.280 --> 23:31.320
-So many bottles.
-Yes.

23:31.440 --> 23:35.200
-How much will this fetch me?
-Just 1 rupee per bottle.

23:35.400 --> 23:37.360
That's it? At least give me
5 rupees a bottle.

23:37.960 --> 23:40.400
-These are hard drink bottles.
-Hard drinks are expensive.

23:40.600 --> 23:42.120
I sell them for Rs. 1.5 per bottle.

23:42.400 --> 23:44.680
I would have given you
Rs. 2 per beer bottle then.

23:44.720 --> 23:47.000
You should have drunk beer, dad.

23:47.520 --> 23:50.680
We can sacrifice your liver health
for some extra bucks from junk.

23:50.840 --> 23:53.240
That means he has a decent capacity.

23:53.320 --> 23:56.480
-Please come next month. You have no
clue how many bottles he can... -Aman...

23:57.480 --> 23:58.840
Speak a little less.

23:59.880 --> 24:01.160
-You.
-Yes.

24:01.560 --> 24:04.760
Dump them in your bag quickly.
If that lady comes here,

24:04.960 --> 24:07.280
she'll take them to store oil.
Pack them up quickly.

24:10.720 --> 24:13.360
Brother, how much will this fetch?

24:14.240 --> 24:17.480
-Just 170 rupees.
-Just 170 rupees for all this.

24:19.160 --> 24:20.160
Oh no.

24:30.920 --> 24:32.320
'Those Raunchy Nights'

24:33.280 --> 24:35.800
'Shanti Mishra, 12/11/93'

24:42.000 --> 24:43.000
Well,

24:43.960 --> 24:44.960
I won't sell this.

24:45.800 --> 24:48.480
I have weighed it already.
I'll deduct it from the amount.

24:49.120 --> 24:50.120
How much?

24:51.200 --> 24:52.200
Rs. 50.

24:54.880 --> 24:55.880
Okay.

25:05.200 --> 25:07.640
'It's not just junk that was
disposed of from this house.'

25:09.160 --> 25:12.440
'This family is bidding adieu
to many parts of its past.'

25:18.600 --> 25:23.280
'The past of middle-class families
is hidden in their water tanks,'

25:23.600 --> 25:27.040
'boxes of junk and terraces at home.'

25:28.760 --> 25:33.200
'Their junk holds sentimental value
that makes it precious for them.'

25:35.200 --> 25:38.800
'When the pharaohs were buried
in the pyramids of Egypt,'

25:40.040 --> 25:42.280
'people would also bury'

25:42.760 --> 25:45.560
'certain belongings that would be of
use to the deceased in their afterlife.'

25:46.320 --> 25:49.680
'If this tradition is linked
to the Indian middle-class,'

25:51.440 --> 25:54.960
'the problem of junk items
in the country can be solved.'

'Call for a referendum
if you don't believe me.'
