He is the head of the family. His parents called him Gotu, justifying his shape, friends called him Babul, and wife calls him ‘O!’ or Suniye Na! Babul is married to Baarmaasi for the past 21 years. A lovely, simple middle class couple that’s been trying to make ends meet throughout their lives. Babul has managed to keep his family noncorrupt. Babul is an accountant in a small private firm on a Rs 7,600 salary. He works religiously for 10 hours a day in office, and has never taken his family out to a restaurant for a meal, saying outside food causes ill health. But it’s obvious he wants to save every penny he can.
She is Babul and Baari's daughter, 18 years old, and in the second year of college. She has the looks of her mother and the ‘wisdom’ of her father, hence, is not a quick decision maker and more likely to get confused whenever there is a problem. She is a ‘hyper’ girl – any little problem, and she loses her appetite, remaining restless till the problem is solved, even nagging big brother in the process.
Babul’s wife, she is a cheerful lady. She is the one who takes all the decisions for the family. She has the skills of running the house all by herself, but creates the impression that Babul is the patriarch. She is an ideal mother, an ideal wife and the most sensible and least confused family member. A wonderful cook; she is cleanliness personified and a recycling specialist. She is one person who gets more thrilled to get the bubbles sheet of the TV packaging than getting a TV. In her limited free time, she makes beautiful little artifacts from garbage-old cardboard boxes, packaging that comes with any product… anything that would normally be thrown away in any other house, is grist to her innovative mill. She sells the little knick-knacks she makes to a lady called Miniben. Whatever she earns from those sales has been her only saving. She is the heroine of this story in the real sense.
