IMDB rating: 5.90
Plot: Hazari Pal lives in a small village in Bihar, India, with his dad, mom, wife, Kamla, daughter, Amrita, and two sons, Shambhu and Manooj. As the Pal are unable to repay the loan they had taken years ago from a moneylender, their land and property are auctioned, and they are rendered homeless. Hazari and his family re-locate to Calcutta with hopes of starting life anew, save some money and go back to Bihar, as well as get Amrita married. Things do not go as planned, as they lose their entire savings to a con-man, Gangooly, who took their money as rent by pretending to be a landlord. Then Hazari gets an opportunity to take up driving a rickshaw manually through a local godfather, Ghatak. He gets to meet a American, Dr. Max Lowe, and together they strike up a friendship along with a local social worker, Joan Bethel. Misunderstandings crop up between Joan and the Godfather, resulting in the shutting down of their shanty medical clinic. When Hazari sides with Joan, his rickshaw is taken away. Things get worse when the Godfather passes away, leaving his estate to his way-ward son, Ashok Ghatak, who has plans to do away with the slums, especially the lepers who have now started frequenting the locality, Max, Joan and above all Hazari himself, and he is determined to take the “joy” of living in Calcutta.

dating a man with a 2 yr old baby girl, mamma drama, and me going to med school in another city?
About 9 months ago I got back together with my high school love. We were broken up for about 4 years, and in that time he had a baby with his ex. The baby girl is now 2, and she is adorable, minus her recent phase of hitting - and yes she does hit me. I try and be firm with her - I’ve had A LOT of experience with kids but I have never had a baby hit me like this. I think it is because her father has her 1/3 of the time, the mamma 1/3, and his older sister who has cancer and can’t have kids with her husband.
She’s basically going to 3 houses, and I think this has something to do with her hitting and being frustrated. Sometimes she’s super sweet to me but she is hitting a lot of people around her. I know the hitting is also a result from different parenting types.
Basically my question is this… In the past my man didn’t really have much of a spine and always gave in to his other ex at the time who basically was the reason I broke up with him in high school after I went away for a month and they made out at a party. He says he has changed, but he gives in to the baby’s mom a lot - even after she’s sworn at him over the phone to get her way.
He is an amazing man, smart, sexy, funny, sweet, caring, loves my family and I love his. I’m having a very difficult time with the baby mamma drama factor and the child hitting me. I think my man needs to be firmer with his baby when she hits and to give her a time out so she can have some sort of discipline. It’s a fine line though, as you don’t really want to upset the baby… (or so my man’s mom, or the baby’s grandma says)
Also, he kind of gives in to the baby’s mom to ‘keep the peace’. Sometimes this is minutely to my expense. I try and be so nice to his whole family, baby, and baby mom,
I’m finishing my BSc degree and then going to med school after pre med next year. I know I’m a catch, hot blonde, brains, nice, and definitely mom/marriage material.
I wonder if I can do better and not have to deal with this drama, but I’ve also come to the conclusion that all the other bozo’s I dated after I broke up with him in high school were never as good as him. I’m pretty sure I always tried to find a duplicate of him. I know I should NOT let him go as he is so amazing and treats everyone around him like gold.
So what do I do… I think I should stick it out with him, but there are no solid custody arrangements, and the baby mom treats him like shit - despite him being so sweet and amazing. I don’t want to give up on him, baby, and us. I definitely want to try and make this work because I know we love eachother - but love is blind right? How blind…
For myself, I don’t want to sound selfish, but as I am going to med school, things will be financially tough - and as those of u who have been thinking or have done med school - a reliable and helping partner is essential in all aspects including finances.
I really need to look out for myself, but also for my man and his baby. I do not want to have to take him away from his baby, nor would I ever want to, but I will need to move about 3 hours away (a different city by ferry) for my school. I want him to come with me, and I see this move being very difficult in an already difficult situation with this child who is really the one who matters.
What do I do? Should he marry me, move with me while I go to med school, and have less custody? Should we not get married until I finish and do long distance while he keeps custody as is? What should we do with this beautiful baby. ARG! The headache and joys of dating a man with a baby. HELP! Any one in a similar situation of wanting to be with a man with a baby, not wanting to take the man away from the baby, but will have to move away?
Or does this whole situation just sound like a huge headache? I think the headache might be worth it though. Anyone else been here? Any advice would be awesome!
