is just like a Baghban (meaning gardener) who believes in
planting a tree for the future.
By
nurturing it, he hopes to bask in its shade when he grows old.
So
Raj and Pooja dedicate their lives to the upbringing of their four
sons.
To
give them a better future, Raj invests his life savings in their
education.
Raj
believes that he can reap the rewards of his financial sacrifice
when he grows old when his sons will look after him.
As
a result, their sons now live life filled with love and prosperity,
thanks to the opportunity their education has given them.
But
when Raj retires, life suddenly changes.

you really depend on your family?
