Barrister Babu Joyprime, Monday 12th September 2022 update

Episode starts with Bondita saying you didn’t get crackers, its much fun. Anirudh says yes, its fun, but lots of noise. She says it looks beautiful also, there is a new colourful sky. Anirudh says yes, but it leaves pollution also, can you see that smoke, look at the trash there, people leave the trash just like that. She asks what about our happiness, I clap seeing the crackers.

He says I know, but you know animals and birds get scared, people can get ill by the pollution. She says but its part of our traditions. He says yes, you are right, don’t you think we should change tradition with time, if we continue this the same way, then one day, we will not see the stars, but just the smoke.

Bondita says but mum says that Diwali is a festive of lights, its victory on darkness. He says we are bringing lights by the diya, right, we have celebrated diwali, now we will light more diyas. She smiles. Tujhme roshan hoga…..plays…. they light the diyas. He says now we will go and give gifts to your friends. She asks what’s my gift. He says go and see it yourself. She checks the slate.

She says you got the books for us. He says your new phase will begin, your education chapter will begin now. They smile. Rishta tera mera….plays… Bondita meets Surayya and other girls. She hugs them. She eats laddoos. Surayya asks how long will you gift us, we may become burden on you. Anirudh says no, this time I got a good news. Ramayya asks him to say fast. He asks her to start some work, learn embroidery and make it on machines, they will be given training. They smile. Bondita says no…. She names the training centre Durga Shakti. Anirudh says its great, you make good clothes, you can sell clothes in the market and earn money, you can become independent, then you won’t feel you are a burden on us. They smile.

Trilochan comes to Binoy. He asks are you worried. Binoy says its Diwali, Bhaumik’s house doesn’t have any light. Trilochan laughs and says their hearts were black inside, their house also has darkness, they did a shameless act, they would be hiding their face, I heard that they may have left the house, its good. Binoy says I wish Saudamini doesn’t come back in our lives. Its morning, Anirudh says Bondita, we will start your education again, study well. Bondita smiles.
She touches his feet. He stops her. She says I m a student today, I m touching my teacher’s feet. He asks really, am I your teacher, study hard and progress, did Kaka tell this to you. Bondita says yes, what will you take in Guru dakshina. Anirudh says don’t worry, I will not ask for your thumb. She asks what shall I ask, any toy or jewellery. He says I will take Guru dakshina, when you make your name and place in the society, you will help me in the new India dream, I will ask it when you refuse. She asks will I refuse to you, you are my husband, I will give whatever you ask, its my promise. Rishta tera mera….plays… He asks really. She says really. They laugh.

Batuk studies. Binoy says you have spent holidays in play. Batuk says I forgot before. Binoy asks when will you take studies seriously, will you become a big man or just cook like Bondita. Trilochan says she will become an ideal homemaker. Anirudh says three things are in front of you, tell me what’s the similarity. Bondita says I like all of it. Anirudh asks do you like newspaper also. She says no, I like Anaar/pomegranate and Achaar/pickle, you like Akhbaar/newspaper. He says they start with A alphabet. He asks what’s the things in this room that starts with A, find it. She checks. He says you will find three things starting with A. She says Almirah… He says great, two more. She says alphabets. He asks for third thing. He says you are not paying attention, third A is sitting with the newspaper. She says you are barister babu. He says yes, but I have a name, you know it, say it. She asks can I take your name. He asks why not.

She says mum said I can’t take name. He says she will give a reason also. She says she always says right, there is no reason, I didn’t hear any woman taking husband’s name. Anirudh says I will not call you Bondita. Bondita asks why, you can take my name. He asks how can husband take wife’s name, tell me, you answer me. She says I don’t have any answer. He says say my name, A for Anirudh. She says I can’t say. Trilochan comes. He says say my name, Anirudh. Trilochan says fine, you are teaching her, don’t teach wrong values, she is right, wife shouldn’t take husband’s name, its husband’s insult and Adharm. Anirudh says really, husband can take wife’s name, he can insult her. Trilochan says this is right behavior for a wife, because husband’s life gets less, will any wife want husband’s life to get less. Anirudh asks what’s this answer, Bondita I m your husband and teacher also, you called me Guru, take my name, your teacher’s name is Anirudh, say it. Trilochan asks her not to say.

She looks at them. She asks them to see the pigeon. She runs away. Trilochan laughs and says she has many values, she has run away but didn’t take husband’s name. Anirudh says a day will come when Bondita will take my name easily, without hurting your values. Saurabh comes and says machines have come. Anirudh says we have to train those women. Bondita collides with Batuk. His notebooks fall in the pool. Batuk cries. Binoy comes and asks what happened. Batuk says Bondita collided with me and my homework book fell into water. She says my new book fell into water. Bihari gets the book out and wipes it.

Bondita says get my book out also. Binoy asks why do you get equal to Batuk, its his homework book. She says Anirudh will check my book. Binoy jokes on her. He says you are studying, just you are there in your school, its not like that with Batuk, he has competition in the school, your studies don’t matter to anyone, because you are a girl, not a boy.

Batuk saying it was my mistake, I will dry your book. He dries the book. Bondita recalls Binoy’s words. He asks do you have 30 boys in your class. Batuk says yes, its fun. He explains her. She says I will cover the books, I have to learn. He agrees. She jumps happily. Saurabh asks who will do the inauguration. Anirudh asks is this to ask, the girls will do the inauguration. He says you will make a new start from this place. He breaks the coconut. Everyone claps. The girls take the laddoos. Batuk says we are taught many subjects in the school. Bondita says that’s why you have many pockets in your bag. He laughs and says its called compartments, not pockets, I keep tiffin box here and pencil box, we have lunch together, it looks like we are eating at someone’s marriage.

Bondita asks why doesn’t my book get covers. He says you are a girl, you have to make food at home, what’s the use for you to get books with covers and bag. She says I also want a bag and covers. Anirudh asks how do you feel becoming independent women. Surayya says I had a dream, I sold all the clothes, everyone was asking for more clothes. Anirudh asks Ramayya how does she feel. Ramayya says I don’t know what will happen. He says everything will be fine. He talks to other girls. The girl asks where is Bondita. He says she had to study, she has to learn household work also, she is more busy than me. Ramayya says this girl has her voice, but she doesn’t like to hear. Anirudh says those who hear less can understand others well, right Bholi. She nods. He asks them to see the workshop. Bondita gets upset and goes.

She thinks how shall I get a bag. She gets her costly sarees. She takes Koyli’s help. She cuts many sarees to make compartments in the bag. Bondita stitches. Koyli says we have made the pockets, but we need buttons. Bondita gets Anirudh’s coats and takes the buttons from it. Koyli says its Anirudh’s coat, you took off the buttons. Bondita says its fine, he has many coats, but its my first bag, then I can study well. She stitches the buttons also. Trilochan comes. He sees Bondita stitching and smiles. He says I came to ask her to learn something, but she is already learning stitching, amazing.

Bondita comes to learn with her bag. She smiles. She coughs to get Anirudh’s attention. He asks shall we start studies. She says yes, I have come to show it. He says studies can’t be shown. She says I have to show it. He asks how. She shows her bag. He smiles seeing her bag. She says now we can start. He says I don’t want to say anything. She asks him if he doesn’t have to say anything. He says I have seen you have covered your books. She asks did you just see books. She shows the bag and asks didn’t you see it, this pencil box, you didn’t tell me about it. He says I have seen it, bag or covers doesn’t mean studies, study happens if you get dedicated and learn, not this show. He asks her to learn Varnmala. She tells a few. He corrects her. He says these alphabets are the foundation, you can’t make words if you don’t learn it, how will you study, how will you read books and write a letter on your own, do you want to learn or not. She recalls the master’s words. She forwards her hands and closes eyes. He asks her to open eyes. She says I close eyes when I get hit. He says I promise you as your husband and teacher, even if I m very angry on you, I will never raise hand on you.

She asks what shall I do, I learn aarti and all, but not these alphabets. She says I feel scared and don’t learn anything because of the fear, I can’t fulfill the dream to get educated. Anirudh goes. She sits crying. He plays music. He sings.

He asks did you understand anything. She says no. He sings Hum honge kamyaab… She also sings along. Rishta tera mera….plays…. They laugh. He asks what will you tell yourself now, you have faith in your heart, you will succeed one day. She laughs. He says sometimes, you will feel burdened of studies, if you befriend studies, then you will have fun, this friend will never leave you, it will always stand by you, when no one is with you, education will always be with you.

She says like you are there for me. He says make studies your forever friend. Its morning, Trilochan comes to have breakfast. He says I met villagers, they are worried, some new british officer is going to come, he had set many rules already, poor villagers are in trouble. Binoy says don’t worry, I will befriend this new officer also. Anirudh says some people just think of themselves always. He doesn’t sit beside Binoy. Binoy asks Somnath to sit in his place, whoever doesn’t want to sit can go out. Anirudh and Binoy argue. Anirudh asks does a dad cheat his son. Binoy hits the table and asks did you learn this from abroad. Bihari says I think there will be a battle here. Trilochan says I will not have food today, you have to respect elders. Batuk asks how will I study in school.

Binoy says you are thinking of your studies. Trilochan says everyone is just thinking of themselves here. Bondita comes and looks on
