"I love you." "I love you." "These two simple words..." "Who knows who were the first to use them?" "Whom did he say them to?" "Whenever these words of love  were uttered by anyone..." "The beautiful, innocent were attracted like crazy magnets." "Work fast or you'll never complete in time!" " The stage isn't ready as yet!" " lt will be." "We'll have flowers there and chandeliers in the center." "Don't ruin the flowers." "What are you doing?" "You take the flowers and give this to me." "Brother is coming today." "Has somebody gone to the station?" "I've sent Anand." "Guess who this is." "One who can't be seen in the daylight." "My moon like daughter." "The Chandni (moonlight)!" "Why did you have to guess so easily?" "Till the daughter is at home, she is recognized." "But when she gets married and belongs to somebody else.." "Every relation ends." "I've come for Neelu's wedding but you're getting me married off!" " l'm not getting married..." " After putting the frills..." " How are you aunt?" " l am fine." "But why are you so impatient?" "Why have got applied this paste?" "Should we get you also married?" "My foot will get married!" " How are you dear?" " Very well." " Where is Neelu?" " Upstairs in her room." "Couldn't you come earlier?" "There was so much work at home." " He should get leave." " Some excuse always." " You've come like a guest." " Let go!" " Just 2 days before the wedding!" " l'll answer when you leave me." "You're hugging the dust and grime of the journey and my clothes!" "Does the moonlight ever get dirty because of dust?" "Good God!" "What was that blast?" " That's his style of coming home." " Who is it who comes like a bomb?" "He's Anand's best friend, Rohit." "Who has put rags in place of canopy?" " That was me sir." " You?" "This darned and sheet put up for Rohit Gupta's sister's wedding!" "Sir, now you won't see them anywhere." "Remove them fast!" "Quick!" "Have the flowers arrived?" "Check if my bags have come up." "And give me a dress to wear." "We didn't meet for a year and you've learnt yours and mine!" "All my clothes are yours." " Where is Chandni?" " Must be loafing somewhere." "I was feeling cold." "Want to warm up my hands." "Warming up your eyes or your hands?" "Come on." "Go away." "Do you know why it turned dark?" "So that it would only be bright enough for me to see you." "And you see only me." "When the Maker must have made you.." "Even he must have been swayed at least once." "Maybe you don't know how beautiful you are." "So beautiful that the word beautiful falls short." "People have a tendency to beat around the bush." "But I speak the truth and to the point." "I love you as much as nobody must have ever loved another!" "By now maybe you too love me that much." "Yes or no?" "Let me tell you another thing." "We Delhites can rule the country as well as the heart!" "We will win the heart!" "Nobody ever spoke to me like this in Shahjahanpur." "I was only my mother's daughter." "My heart would beat there too." "But in Delhi l can hear my heart beat!" "I came from the village." "When the time came to leave, I started howling." "I kept crying and held my grandmother and said.." "I know nothing." "What will happen?" "I know nothing!" "Come dear." "You too listen to this story." "No teacher can teach you this." "Come and sit with brother." "Aunt you were telling us about your honeymoon." "In our days, we had a room of cow dung." "I fell asleep waiting." "Only then did your uncle come in." "Now only he and I were in the room." "Seeing me asleep, he pinched me hard!" "What's wrong with you?" "I was pinched 55 years ago." "And you're feeling the hurt today?" "Nothing aunt." "The romance has just begun." "Then slowly your uncle caught my hand." " Let go of me!" " That's just what I said." " Then what happened?" " What would happen?" " Then he lifted me up." " Then?" "Answer.." "I know you are very impatient." "But nothing happened." "He turned that way and slept off and I turned the other!" "Does that mean that..." "nothing happened?" "For 6 years we did nothing." "The deed was done when I turned 16 and he was 18." "These days everything is hurried." "Everything is instant." "What do you say?" "Incidentally everything is instant." "But when an accident takes place..." "We say, seasons keep changing but spring has just arrived." "Yes or no?" "You've got the right note." "Hopefully the tune will be good." "Yes or no?" "Come on answer, yes or no?" " Will you serve or just ask?" " Serving!" "Henna is being applied to my palms but the color is on your cheeks?" "This color is like a rainbow." "It is seen but can't be caught." "If the bride to be places her hennaed hand in a spinster's hands..." "She'll get engaged and married right away." "But if a boy holds a girl's hand...?" "Then they fall in love. lsn't it?" "Why are you pouncing on them?" "The bride has gone but the photographs aren't running away." "Your wife is running away." "She insists on leaving by evening." "Are you all leaving today?" " lt's a matter of my job." " Dad, wedding photographs." "Chandni has leave." "Neelu has gone to her husband's house." "If she stayed back, she'd share our loneliness." "Has the goddess of wealth and a daughter ever stayed in one place?" "She may stay if she feels like it." "At least now come and help me pack." "Yelling won't help pack." "Here." "Will you stay?" " Yes aunt." " Are you happy?" "Yes I'm very happy." "You're my favorite." "That's why I'm keeping you back to love you more." "Does she only know how to take love or even give?" "If there's a tiny bit of place in her heart... I'll send in an application." "When you fool around, you don't care if there are grown ups around!" "Coming." "Don't the people in Delhi have any shame?" "If I feel shame, I'll be waving a flag atop Qutub Minar all my life!" "Only if I be shameless will I climb astride the horse." " Yes or no?" " You clicked even the horse." "But kept flashing lights at me!" " There's no picture of me!" " First answer yes or no." " lf l say no?" " l won't come on a horse." "Will you sit on a donkey then?" "I will..." "No!" "I'm frightened!" "I'm with you!" " l will die!" " l won't let you die before you answer!" " l will fall off!" " Then come closer." " l am scared." " Then hold me tight!" "Yes or no?" " Yes or no?" " Yes!" " Louder, I can't hear." " Yes!" "Yes!" "When will you come again?" "When you call me." " Give me your address. I'll write." " lf mother finds out..." " l'll write at some friend's address." "Letter!" "A letter from your lover!" "Give it to me!" "Don't trouble me!" "First I'll read it." "It came to my address." "I have a right to read it." "According to our deal, I will read it and you will hear." " Just hold this." " Cheat!" "I'll show you when the next letter comes!" "Should I call you the breeze or the desire of time?" "The beat of my heart or the fragrance of my breath?" "Flowers bloom when I think of you." "When dawn breaks it feels as if you are tossing your hair in dew." "And I'm kissing your eyes." "The golden afternoon feels as if the moonlight has come to earth." "The setting sun adorns you with orange blossoms." "And your fragrance reaches me." "When night spreads her cloak of darkness... I swear I miss you a lot!" "The full moon stops in its' orbit to admire your beauty." "I shut my eyes and Chandni enters my heart." "Yours and only yours." "What do I write?" "Time has come to a standstill." "Time, night, breeze, fragrance, everything holds its' breath and..." "Waits for me to write something." "But how can the feelings of the heart form words?" "All your favorite things are present." "Jasmine flowers, a smiling flame and your Chandni." "I wish you were here." "But how can you be here?" "But you are here." "In my heart and its' beats." "Soon our hearts will beat like one." "My parents will return tomorrow." "I'll talk to them about our wedding." "You want to marry a girl you saw in that crowd?" "A girl who is not of our standing, who is not from our community!" "You want to make her the daughter-in-law of our family?" "What are you talking about?" "I'm not the first man to do this." "When we buy furniture we first check if it matches in our house." "The girl I love is furniture for you?" "This word, love has been used so often that it has lost meaning!" "Why do you forget that she will get married and come here?" " We'll have to adjust with her!" " Understand one thing mother." "I'm not marrying her for you." "Neither do I believe in caste, community and society norms." "I haven't come to ask you nor to take your permission." "But only to inform you that I am marrying her." "You only have to decide whether you will bless us or not!" "Stop him. lf she comes to this house as a bride..." "What face will I have in society?" "Which society are you talking about?" "Where your bank balance decides your reputation?" "That girl won't come to our house!" "You can't darn silk with rags!" "That was done the day I came to this house as a son-in-law." "And how will you stop him?" "He's a man of today, your only son." "Someday he'll leave everything and walk off." "Think about it." "Try to understand, weddings are between people of same standing." "We have to live in this society." "The society that has accepted me will accept her tomorrow." "Actually he knows he is our only son." "We can't go against his wishes." "He's exploiting this fact." " Talk to Shivsagar.." " What are you...?" "But remember one thing." "The wedding should be worthy of our position." "They treated us very well!" "This boy has dishonored us!" "The daughter-in-law is the honor and shame of the family, the house." "She remains behind curtains and maintains her distance." "With her around we'll have a ball." "We'll see dances everyday." "The neighbors too won't get bored." "I still say break the relation." "It's not too late!" "She didn't want to dance or sing." "Your darling son forced her into it." "In saving your reputation, you may end up losing your son!" "They will come tomorrow." "Rearrange your facial expressions." " What did he say?" " Nothing." "Congratulations!" "Happiness and joy!" "Take our picture." "Mother you are forgetting the bride-to-be." " Live long son." " Today is also the girl's day." "Bless her also." "Always be happy." "Our love and blessings are in this ring." "Be happy son." "The beauty of the ornament lies in the wearer and love has no value." "The beauty also lies with the person putting it on." " Here put it on her finger." " Yes." "Won't you give her any gift?" "How can I forget my future sister-in-law?" "I thought she's very fond of dancing so what could be better than this?" "I am fond of dancing but.." "On this auspicious occasion only you could give such a gift!" "The brother will always remember this gift of his sister!" "What's the matter?" "Why are you upset?" "I'm thinking of the future." "Chandni will be stifled in that house!" "I didn't know they would behave like this." "What do they think of themselves!" "They belong to a rich family." "It's the arrogance of money!" "We didn't go begging to them!" " We are happy as we are!" " What's the fight about?" "Think about Chandni and her happiness I am confident Rohit will look after her." "And I know nobody can be angry with my daughter for very long." "Once they get married, she'll win everybody's hearts." "I hope this happens." "Are you mad?" "Did you get frightened?" "Close your eyes." "What will you do to me with my eyes closed?" "What can a poor girl do to you?" " How can I trust you?" " Oh!" "Can't trust me now?" "Today I'm going to get raped!" " Will you shut your eyes?" " But why?" "Open your mouth." "Taste this and identify it." "This is barfi from Ghantewala." "Now let's see." "What is this?" "What is this?" "Laddu." "Now let me see." "Don't open your eyes." "Chilli !" "You didn't say what it is." "Can't you eat one single chilli for me?" "I can consume poison for you." "What did she get!" "Chandni!" "Where are you running?" "Come and sit here." "We won't stay here for one day after we get married." "Because your family, my relatives..." "They will bore us!" "Call us for meals and ruin our nights!" "So what do you want?" "I want to take you away from here." "Where there is nobody but you and me!" "We'll have our honeymoon in Switzerland." "What's wrong?" "Where are you?" "I can spend my whole life with your love." " Come here." " Why?" "Come on. I feel like kissing you." " l couldn't hear." " Don't ruin my romance!" "An old joke." "A fat man wants to make love to a pretty girl." "The girl says, if you can catch me, you can love me." "So fat man, won't you kiss me?" "I am dead. I can't answer you." "I will bring you back to life." "Move and I shoot!" "Please don't. I'm the only husband of my wife." "What will happen to her?" "Give me all the cash in your pocket!" " Fast!" "Don't try to run." " Just a minute." "Absolutely." "I have just 3 francs left over." "You can have them." "Comes to Switzerland and carries only 3 francs!" "I don't know anything." "I want to go shopping!" "Aren't you tired of shopping?" "I'm carrying these bags like an ass!" "Let's go to the hotel and romance." "All the valuables!" "Come to the hotel." "I'll give you everything." "Okay." "Hold this." " Let this be." " For ice cream." "Get lost!" "Wants real stuff for threatening with a toy gun!" "May I taste it?" " May I ...?" " No way!" "Had half of mine and won't give hers!" "Dropped my ice cream!" "Give me a bite!" "Tonight... yes or no?" " No, no." " Come on, say yes or no." " No mischief in this cold." " What else can we do in the cold?" "It's very cold today." "We'll do one thing, go to the hotel, I'll give you cognac." "Cognac is brandy." "Meaning liquor." "No." "Cognac is not wine." " Cognac is not liquor?" " No, cognac is not liquor." " Good heavens!" "Cognac..." " ls not liquor." "What else is it?" "Romance, love." "Youth. intoxication." "Wow!" "Romance, love, youth, intoxication, wow!" "Cognac is not liquor." "We'll have a ball tonight!" "We'll stay awake all night." "Talk of love." "While talking of love, we will make love." "Making love again we'll make love!" "Cognac is not liquor!" "She is finished!" "Cognac is not liquor!" "Cognac is liquor!" " What are you doing?" " l was sleeping." " Give me a kiss." " l'm sleeping now." "No, I won't give." "You woke me from a dream." "Fast give me a kiss." "Aunt has come!" "From where do these aunts land up!" "Where were you?" "You took ages to come to the phone!" " l was in the bathroom." " What were you doing?" " Please tell me." " Having a bath!" "What else!" "What's the matter?" "I'm dripping with water!" " What are you doing?" " Talking to you." "What were you doing before that?" "Looking in the mirror." "How did you find my Chandni?" " l love myself today." " And not me?" "Why don't you understand?" "I love you." "That is why I like myself." "When you call me yours... I feel proud of myself." "Now what is it?" "I want to meet you this evening." " But where?" " On the terrace of your house." " Our terrace?" " l'll wait for you." " All right. I'll come." " But as my Chandni." " What do you mean?" " ln milky white clothes." "From head to toe." "Up here!" "You are mad!" "What are you doing?" "Are you mad?" "This is my style." "Careful." "Come back please!" "Ramesh here." "Rohit met with an accident." "While landing." "He's in the hospital." "What happened?" "Don't worry." "Everything will be fine." " Where is he?" "Can I see him?" " Not yet." "Not now?" "What do the doctors say?" " Nothing can be said." " What?" " ls he very serious?" " He's being operated upon." "Do you know how this accident occurred?" " How?" " Because of her!" "She is very fond of flowers." "To pamper her Rohit bought flowers from all over town." "He was showering her with flowers when this accident took place!" "This happened because of you!" "What do you want from us?" "Why don't you go away from here?" "I can't leave before meeting Rohit, without seeing him." "No!" "You won't meet him or see him!" "Go away from here!" "Just once mother." "Let me see him just once." "Then I'll do as you say." "Let me meet him just once." "Rohit has gained consciousness!" "You looked gorgeous from that height." "What's the matter?" "What's wrong?" "Tell me." "My right arm and leg aren't moving." " What's wrong with me?" " Your right side is paralyzed." "Will I be able to walk?" "Will I ever get well?" "Of course you will but you have to use your determination and will power." "You have to get well." "God has saved you for me." "Now your life is a trust meant for me." "Welcome home smiling face, dark hair." "Take me to my room." "One thing is for sure, Rohit brought joy home." "Tell you something?" "The nurses in the hospital were very pretty." "Had I stayed longer, I would've had an affair." "I was in a hurry to get back." "Why did you become silent?" "Hearing voices from the past I feel.." "Time has stood still." "Don't hold back time." "Let it go on." "Will those days ever return?" "Yes, those days will return." "I have full faith." "Your faith is my life." "And your life is my life." "Today if I ask you for something, promise you won't turn me down." "Do you expect me to refuse?" "Every word of yours is my promise." "From now onwards whenever I open my eyes, I should see you before me." "Today onwards my morning will begin with your smile." "And night will set under the darkness of your lashes." "What are you doing here?" "Can't you see mummy?" "She's making breakfast for Rohit." "Are we no more that you will make breakfast for my son?" "She's establishing her rights before marriage." "She comes here every morning." "She's really shameless!" "Not shameless, very clever." "She thinks if she can win Rohit's heart, all the wealth will be hers!" "Are you listening to us?" "She thinks she can pull us away from Rohit by doing all this." "The world will laugh, not yet married but always around my son!" "Do whatever you want, you cannot become the mistress of this house!" "Go away from here!" "Keep the tray back." "Don't you dare step in my kitchen again!" "Don't cry for every little thing." "Your tears will dry up but they won't appreciate them." "You've lost so soon." "You have major battles to win." "What do I do?" "Mother gets angry at every thing." "And Pooja always hated me." "Actually they want you to get fed up and leave." "Don't they want Rohit to be happy?" "They do but they want him to be happy in their choice." "And you're not their choice." "If Rohit sees tears in your eyes, he will break down." "So bear everything, put up with it." "Take everything with a smile." "For Rohit if not yourself." "For his happiness." "You are right." "She dropped brother!" "Come fast!" "Good God!" "What happened to my son?" "What do you want to do?" "Kill him?" " Nothing happened." " Of course, you fell because of her carelessness!" "She's always dancing and singing!" "Why don't you find another house?" " Do you know what you're saying?" " She is right." "Since the time she stepped into my house, my son has been ruined!" " She's cast a spell on him!" " What are you saying?" " Listen to what I have to say." " Son, you are unwell." " You need complete rest." " Pooja has accused Chandni.." "I want peace in this house!" "But what's her fault?" " You keep..." " Daddy...!" "Unnecessarily Pooja..." "You must rest son." "Pooja take him in." "No need. I'll go on my own." "Listen to one thing carefully." "Rohit is my only son." "I don't want to lose him because of you." "Very shameless girl!" "Standing here after listening to all this!" "Please be quiet." "This is enough!" "Now go home." "They won't let you live." "Are you angry with me?" "No." "I've brought something for you." "Shut your eyes." "I'll put it in your mouth and you must identify it." " Why shut my eyes?" " l won't give you chilies!" "Feed me like this." "Don't you trust me?" "I don't trust myself." " You did till yesterday." " There's a lot of difference today." " What difference?" " Yesterday was a dream." "Today is real." "Real, dream, yesterday, today..." "I don't understand..." "Why don't you understand?" "I'm not the man you loved!" "With whom you sang and danced!" "How long will I amuse myself with memories of the past?" "Why are you being so emotional?" "Emotions are all I have now." "Everything else is..." "All the dreams have crashed." "They haven't crashed." "Our dreams will come true." "How?" "With this handicapped, cripple, helpless Rohit?" "You can't use these words to describe yourself when I'm here!" "If you could revolt against your parents and society for me..." "Then can't I become your legs?" "I'll be your better half in the true sense of the word." "I'll be your hope, your strength." "Your belief." "Why don't you try to understand?" "Who did all this?" "I did it." " You?" " Yes." "I don't need the memories attached to them." "Don't say that." "Our love is tied by very delicate threads." "That is pity not love." "And I don't want to live with anyone's pity." "What is wrong with you?" "What made you change in one night?" "There is no place for your love in my life." "It's not so easy to erase love." "I'm not lifeless like these pictures!" "I'm a living girl." "In whose chest beats a heart." "I have feelings, a brain that thinks!" "By removing the pictures, the symbol of our love..." "You've white washed the walls but put the color of hatred on our love!" "Those pictures reminded me of the moments that I can't forget!" "Your beauty, your smile, your youth makes fun of me!" "Your singing to please me stinks of pity!" "You want me to be dependant on you." "No!" "It's better to die than live like that!" "Don't say that." "Your life is more precious to me than anything in this world." "I know today your heart is filled with hatred not love." "Yet I ask you one question." "If I was in your place and you in mine, what would you have done?" "I would have left you much earlier." "I feel sorry for your pettiness." "You don't know the meaning of love." "Love is a gift of God not charity!" "You're talking of the girl who was your heartbeat, your breath!" " Your love!" " What has that love given me?" "You got everything!" "Family, name, wealth!" "And I have got venom!" "Defamation!" "Restlessness!" "It snatched away the peace of my life!" "The girl you talk of made me a cripple instead of giving me life!" "What?" "You too accuse me?" "I made you a cripple?" "Yes!" "Till yesterday only my family and the world said this." "But today even I say you crippled me!" "In body and spirit!" "All right. lf like your family and the world, you too believe.." "That I crippled you." "I have no right to live in this house." "Nor any right on you." "I'm taking your gift of love with me." "You may live with hatred." "I will live with my love." "Return this and my love to him." "Here is your ring!" "This is what you wanted." "Take it!" "Now you must be feeling great!" "Shame on you!" "The girl who was your life, your love..." "The one you were living for..." "You broke off with her!" "May I know the reason?" "Why dig up the past?" "I know you loved her a lot." "Shall I tell you something?" "She'll always remember the pain you gave her." "So I've kept both the rules of love." "You were ready to fight the world and die for her!" "I don't understand why you did this." "Do you really want to know?" "Because I am shattered." "You know the people in this house." "There's no place in their hearts for her." "If there was anyone who could fight for her it was me." "If there was anyone who could hold her hand and stand by her, it was me." "As long as I was on my feet, I was a shield for her." "But today that shield is broken." "What am I today?" "An incomplete cripple!" "Who can do nothing without support!" "That is all right but did you have to break her heart?" "Till I wouldn't break her heart, make her suffer..." "Till I humiliated her, she wouldn't have left me!" "I didn't want to ruin her life." "And your own life?" "What about me?" "I lost everything." "A gust of wind took away everything." "Now even Chandni has gone." "You didn't inform us that you were coming." " l'd have come to the station." " l didn't want to bother you." "Aren't you ashamed to say this?" " She will stay with us." " No need to say that." "Who else does she have in Bombay?" "One who doesn't have anyone has to stay in my house, is it?" "This won't do." "I need a little space for shelter." "I will be very grateful." "The rent is 100 bucks." " Water, electricity separate." "Acceptable?" " Yes." "I have no extra room." "Manage here somewhere." "How did this happen?" "Just assume somebody cast an evil eye." "God knows why I couldn't be happy." "Now I can neither forget nor remember." "Yet whenever I remember, it brings tears to my eyes." "I'm telling you today you will get a job!" "Pay obeisance to Lord Ganpati before you leave." "You'll get the job" "Drink this tea and get ready." "Hey!" "What are you doing?" "This is an emergency." "Don't look at me." "Just drive." " You...?" " l've come from Delhi, new to your city." "I'm looking for a job." "I have an interview." "I'm already late. I'll be obliged if you could take me to this place." "Do you know where l have to go?" "Do you follow?" "Why don't you say anything?" " Get off." " Are you offended?" "No I meant get off." "This is the place you have to go to." "Listen..." "I'm sure you'll get the job." "Go in from this door." " You... sir?" " Surprised to see me?" "I was nervous before I came here." "But seeing you has given me confidence" "This is a travel agency." "We take people around the world." "You mean you fulfill people's dreams." "Nobody ever described this profession so beautifully." "It will be done." "Not to worry." "We have to complete the formality of the interview." "My name is Chandni Mathur." "I have completed B.A." "I know shorthand and typing." "I have no experience of work but I promise that... lf you employ me, I'll work with dedication and sincerity." "I believe it if you say so." "Come in." "She is Miss Chandni Mathur." "She'll work in our office." "Explain to her about my personnel files and ticket reservation." "What is wrong with you?" "I'm very happy today." " Why?" "By the grace of God I've got a job!" "Now I can breath, I can live." "I can be alive." "Some of my clients are coming this evening." "I am very busy today and they are our important clients." "I want you to take them out to dinner and entertain them." "I can't do this." "Can't do it?" "I don't understand." "This is not my job." "Will you tell me what's your duty?" "You promised to do any job given to you with full dedication." "Every job in this office is part of your duty!" "But I don't consider it good." "She doesn't think it's good!" "This is the problem with you middle class girls!" "You decide before hand what is good and what is not!" "The dirt lies in your minds." "If our clients are happy, it improves our efficiency." "We get business from them." "This office runs because of them!" "You are paid because of it!" "This is my order." " l can't do this." " Then just get lost!" "Madam sir has sent this." "What does he think of himself?" "Big reception party." "is this for me?" "The colony was raided today." "It's a government colony." "You can't keep illegal tenants like us." " Now what?" " Nothing." "Spend the night somewhere and return by morning." " The raid will finish by then." " l have never seen Bombay." "So let's see Bombay." "We must have parties like this." "Don't worry." "The government is kind." "This will be repeated." "Let's get wet." "I'm already wet." "What are you doing?" "Aren't' you ashamed?" "In the office you're the embodiment of decency." "And now alone in the middle of the night on the footpath!" "Come here." "She's my friend Kiran." "And her husband." " We're paying guests in a colony." " lt has been raided today." "So we're having a forced picnic." "Tonight we're helpless, constrained." "Then come home with me." "Your house?" "My mother will be happy to meet you." "Come in." "Meet my mother." "They are.." "She is Chandni, works in my office." "And this is her friend." "Her husband." "Since when have you become so good?" "Feeling sorry for mother's loneliness, he brought guests." "I am trying to be nice plus they had a problem." "Thank you very much sir." "Consider this your own house." "I'll change and join you." " Will you have coffee?" " On one condition." "I'll make it and everybody will drink." "Brace yourself for the worst coffee you ever had in your life!" " l'm witness to that!" " don't ruin my reputation." "The kitchen is there." "There's a room here if you want to wash up." "Tell me don't you feel as if we own this place." " And you're the guest." " Absolutely." " Come here." " Will you beat me?" "Yes I will!" "Come here." "Such a dear child." "Sir, may I say something if it would offend you?" "You are something in the office and another at home." "One form is for the world but one is for yourself." "Do you like the rain?" "I love the rains!" "I'm enjoying myself!" "Let's go." "Goodbye." "Couldn't sleep or I woke you?" "If I'd slept tonight, I'd have lost something." "Even I have lost something." "And I'm searching for it." "Do you stay awake like this?" "Staying awake is in my stars." "It sounds as if you asked for this sorrow." "When there's no cure for the pain one must consider pain the cure." "Do you believe that sorrow is reduced by sharing?" "To share pain one has to undertake a long journey." "Every moment has to be relived." "It's very difficult to embark on a journey filled with pain." "From where do I begin?" "What are you talking about?" "What do you think?" " Let's play a game." " What game?" "I'll make 3 guesses about you and you do the same with me." "The first, you've never fallen in love." "You've taken over a huge business at a young age." "Are you a detective or an astrologer?" "Some terrific incident is going to occur in your life." "That has already happened." "Now you make 3 guesses about me." "One guess out of the three is that my life is stark." "Fill it with the colors of your love." "I want to see this world with you, through your eyes." "For how long will you be away?" " Why do you ask?" " We've just met and you're going!" "It's just a few days." "What should I get for you?" "One condition." "His name is Lalit." "Tell him life is terrible without him." "Bring him back with you as soon as possible." "You don't worry about that." "If he's careless about you... I'll carry him on my shoulders and drop him at your feet!" "His place is in my heart not feet!" "Will you do one thing for me?" " Why do you ask?" " First promise me." "I promise." "Promise to take care of yourself." "And when the time comes, you'll marry a beautiful girl." "More beautiful than me." "Why are you punishing me?" "Life is very beautiful and I don't have the time." "For me, my love." "Yes I promise." "For the sake of your love and you..." "Now I want nothing from life." "Now my life is fulfilled." "And in a flash she had left my hand and gone forever." "I still feel the warmth of her palm in mine, her breath on mine." "Whenever I recall her smiling face vibrating with life..." "The burden of the pain increases." "is this any life?" "is this life worth living?" "Just think it's a habit to live." "And nothing else." "And nothing at all." "I like Chandni very much." "Mother you like every girl." "Seeing her has raised some hope in my heart." "I liked her very much." "is there any point in this?" "People who have to die do die but the others have to live." "I accept this." "One has to live whether one wants to or not." "Look at me." "Your Dad is no more." "Am I not alive?" "Son, now I live only for you." "Even I only live for you mother." "And after me?" "Don't say this early in the morning!" "Okay." "You are sensible." "You're also my son." "If you live for me then listen to me." "Isn't it?" "Come here." "Book a first class ticket to Zurich and prepare the visa papers." "This should be done soon." "In which name should the ticket be?" "Are you going out?" "There's a conference." "Have to go for 10-12 days." "Can you answer one question?" "After seeing you home last night why did I feel you were no stranger?" "There can be one reason for that." "When you meet the first time, you are strangers." "Sometimes I see the shadows of my sorrow in your eyes." "I feel in today's world, every man is lonely." "He wants a companion, a destination." "Yesterday this town was new to me" "And after spending some time in your house I felt..." "That I have somebody in this city." "I know nothing about your life." "My name is Chandni Mathur." "I have completed B.A. I work in Hansa Travel Agency." "After that life has come to a halt." "It's better if life goes on." "I've been waiting for you since ages." "We're having our office annual party I want your contribution." "Here are 100 rupees." "You'll remember me!" "How long will you deceive yourself?" "You live for her memories." "You still feel warm with her breath!" "Her fragrance, the glow in her still exists within yourself." "Not one moment goes by when you haven't thought of her!" "To hear her voice you call her up in the nights!" "Your heart beats only because of her memories!" "You are right." "She is still my life." "My heart beat, my love." " But today..." " Even today she'll come running back to you!" "Yes!" "I remember when I first met her." "I went to call her." "I'd swept her off her feet." "I want to do the same today." "I want to get well." "I want to get better." "Whatever you want will be done." "Don't worry. I'll call the hospital in Switzerland." "Did you talk to Chandni?" " Not yet." " Why not?" " What's the hurry?" " l'm in a hurry not you." "I've waited enough." "If you won't ask her, I will." "Mother these days you behave like a child." "I tell you I'll ring up and call her just now." "And ask her when she'll come here as a bride." "I'll ask her soon as I return" "No, today and just now!" " You are blackmailing me!" " So be it." "Okay. I'll ask her as soon as I get a chance at the party." "Aren't you dancing?" "I can't dance." "But why aren't you dancing?" "If I say I too can't dance?" "Then I'll believe it." "There's one thing common in us." "Both of us lie well." "Another thing in common." "Both of us talk well." "Then let's go and talk." "I'll win in talking." "How can you say that?" "Looking at you I feel either you don't have a tongue.." "Or it has become silent after talking too much." " My mother is very fond of you." " Even I like her a lot." " Meet her in my absence." "She'll like that." " So would I." "There's a desire in my heart." " Just name the desire." " l am frightened." "Why sir?" "Because I maybe turned down." "I wish you could come with me." "To the airport." "To see me off." "That's all?" "I was feeling generous today." "You'd have got anything at all." "I'd only want you to be happy." "Because you spread joy wherever you go." "Don't curse me sir." "I'm frightened of my joys." "It is said the moonlight remains for only 4 days." "I wish I could prove this saying wrong." "I'll change this saying if I get the opportunity." "It's time for your flight." "I'll see you to the airport." "Stay here and look after the staff." "Chandni will drop me." "Here one gets the feeling that everyone is leaving the country" "You too come with me." "I mean it." "Why do you think like that?" "I've seen life closely." "I have a name." " l'll have to muster up some courage." " Then do it." "Without the formality." "That will take some time." "What shall I get for you?" "Just get back." " l don't need anything in life." " But still..." "All right." "Eiffel Tower from Paris, Big Ben from London." "And Statue of Liberty from New York" "There's no place in my suitcase for all these!" "Will you miss me?" "I... you..." "At least try." "Your flight has been announced." "You still haven't told me your choice" "My choice?" "What can I say?" "I want to know your choice." "I am sure your choice will be the same as my son's." "If you take so long to buy one thing, I will... I have lots of shopping to do." "I want to buy a sari for you." "For me?" "No, mother...please." "If you don't listen to me, you'll get a thrashing." " On vacation?" " No, business conference." " And you?" " Treatment." "Hearing one's mother tongue abroad feels very good." "One misses one's country abroad." "And one's countrymen." "Are you here since long?" "Its 4 months and 10 days." "But it feels like a century." "Have you left somebody behind?" "Think of it like this, I've left my life behind." "Let's do one thing." "Today we have the time and the weather is with us." "Let's hear from and tell each other about ourselves." "From where do I begin?" "When I fell in love, my life was full of happiness!" "We broke all shackles, even got engaged." " Then?" " The relation ended." "I ended the relation." "I don't understand." "I met with an accident." "I became a cripple." "My life was ruined." "Why spoil hers?" "That is why I broke the relation." "Now I wait for the moment when we will confront each other." "Time will stand still." "Tell me about yourself." "My story is of few words." "The first love they say, can never be forgotten." "Even today when I shut my eyes, I feel her lashes on my face." "But there were very few moments of joy destined in my life." "She fell so sick that she never recovered." "After her, I forgot to smile." "I forgot to live." "I even lost the will to live." "But again the desire to live has been awakened." "A girl has entered my life." "Life seems good." "How do you feel when you see a ray of light after ink jet darkness?" "I can understand." "Tell me who the girl is." "You started it." "First you tell me." "You could say it's the result of somebody's love and prayers." " When do you get back?" " Come to Bombay on 28th." " Don't tell the family." " Okay, I'll come." " How far has your love reached?" " l haven't even said I love you." "Live in the jet age and couldn't do this?" "In the olden days, flowers did the trick." "But these days "l love you" doesn't work" "Buy her a gift." "The more expensive the gift, the easier it is to say, I love you." " Take this." " What is it?" "It's not a tip, but to say I love you." "There's a pay phone there." "Go and call her up." "Time waits for none my friend." "Before time changes its' mood, go and tell her you love her." "And call her to the airport." "Let me also see your choice." "Can you guess who this is?" "I recognize your voice." "Doesn't my voice convey something?" " Where are you calling from?" " You're evading the topic." "From Geneva airport." " When will you get back?" " Today." "The flight is almost due." "Tell her you love her!" "Come on!" "I have something important to tell you" " We can talk when you return." " l may not be able to say it then." " Don't feel shy." "Tell her." " l will." " Whom are you talking to?" " l've found a friend." "Very dear." " You'll like him." " l'd be happy to meet your friend." "He wants to partake in our joy." "What are you talking about?" "That's why I called you." " Are you listening?" " Yes." "The flight has been announced." "I want you to meet me at the airport." " Will you come to the airport?" " Yes." "I told her!" "I love you!" "And do you know she'll be at the airport to receive me!" "So even I get to see who has made your life!" "Your job is done." "But mine is annoyed with me." "If things go well, we'll make a foursome." "We meet with our dates." "I'm Chandni. I want to talk to Rohit" "How dare you call here!" "Aren't you satisfied by ruining our house?" "I want to talk to Rohit." "Don't you dare take his name!" "You'll deal with me if you dare call again!" "Why didn't you go to the airport?" " Purposely." " You don't want to forget your past" "What has this love you talk about given you?" "Unhappiness, problems." "Has he ever turned round and asked you... just once..." "How are you Chandni?" "Are you alive or dead?" "How long will you live like a living corpse for this hollow love?" "How long will you live like this?" "And his family..!" "Do you have that strength?" "To go through another ordeal by fire?" "Hear their taunts, abuses!" "Learn to look life in the eyes!" "Rohit was your past, Lalit is your present." "Just a minute." "Do you have Indian currency, 50 paise?" "Chandni hasn't come." " Why is nobody picking it up?" " l too will call up." " What's the matter?" " Nobody is picking the phone." "Mine is engaged." "Won't you say anything?" "I've forgotten everything on seeing you." "I pray to God to give you a long life and fulfill your dreams." "Meet him." "He is Lalit." "Two friends but one heart." "And he's my brother-in-law." " Mother!" " Felt like seeing you so I came." "This is Rohit." "Think of him as your younger son." " And this is his brother-in-law." " Good day." "Okay, I'll take leave." "Don't forget about the meeting." " How was your trip?" " Very good." "Did you talk to her?" "It's great that you left home." "After this trip you're really flying!" " Chandni was to come?" " Must be feeling shy." "What shame?" "We'll land up with our bag and baggage!" "Does she know you're coming?" "lnforming reduces the romance." "I want to give her a surprise." " First ask her." " What for?" "Just tell her to call her parents." "Before the family lands up, let's organize the wedding." "I can't wait for the wedding!" "What is auspicious day?" "Every day is auspicious." "The day Chandni marries you will be an auspicious day." "The day she'll be mine is auspicious!" " Did she come to meet you?" " Everyday." " How is she?" " See for yourself." "We've done a lot of shopping for you." " Shopped a lot?" " What else did I do?" "I've even bought the ring she'd returned." "This ring is for her." " Very pretty." " Watch and perfumes." " For me?" " Your daughter-in-law." "First tell me why you didn't come to the airport?" "Just like that." "What's the matter?" "I want to talk to you." "You've told me everything about yourself." "But you know nothing about me." "I don't want to know." "I have a past." "I have also loved somebody." "I don't want to know about your past." "But ... I want to tell you something." "Don't know why I'm scared." "What is it?" "What my eyes kept telling but my tongue couldn't dare." "I want to marry you." "Are you angry?" " No." " Are you willing?" "Yes." "You don't know how happy you've made me!" "And mother too will be thrilled." "I've never seen Lali so happy." "It looks as if he's got the full world!" "I gave birth to him but you've given him a new life!" "I've be forever obliged." "I want his life to be filled with happiness!" "And I trust you completely." "You'll keep him very happy!" "What will happen to me!" "I'm very nervous!" "See how I'm sweating!" "What will she say on seeing me?" "Will I be able to say a word?" "I might faint on seeing her!" "It's also probable that she might faint with joy on seeing you!" "What are you staring at?" "It's me." "Not a ghost but your very own live Rohit." "You're looking good." "Dazed?" "Shall I show you some magic?" "Shocked out of your wits?" "Extraordinarily amazed?" "Look carefully!" "I can dance, turn around." "I can do sit-ups, I can dance!" "So how is it?" "Ask me in." "You've forgotten me." "You never thought about me, whether I'm alive or not." "This is where you were wrong." "People in love do not die." "If love exists in their hearts.." "No power, no pain can separate them." "Honestly..." "Just the thought of seeing you, the desire to meet you..." "Gave me the strength to get well." "It saved me. I stand before you only because of your love." "I swear by you if I've ever been away from you for a moment." "If a moment went by without me thinking of you." "I've been cheated once." "But not again." "Ramesh and I have arranged our wedding." "And before there are any other obstacles let's get married." "Yes or no?" "You're not saying anything." "I didn't give you a chance." "Tell me something about yourself." "You must have cried for me." "Cursed and abused me." "Say something." "What do I say?" "The phone is ringing." "Not used to attending it?" "I kept calling from the airport." "Nobody attended to it." "Lalit here." "You like the rain don't you?" "It's raining outside so I thought of you." "Look at the rain fall in the lawn," "You'll see the face dearest to you in every falling drop." "Did you see?" "Can you see me?" "What miracle have you worked on mother?" "She's thrilled to bits!" "I told you I'd introduce you to a pal of mine." "We'll meet tomorrow." "The rain here is wonderful." "What's the matter?" "I hope in my absence you haven't found a rival!" "There's somebody else in my life." "I am marrying him." "What do you mean?" "This is not possible!" "You are only mine!" "You can't punish me and yourself!" "You can't punish our love!" "You can't belong to anybody else!" "You were mine, you are mine and you'll always remain mine!" "Rohit's Chandni!" "Where was your Chandni when you broke her heart?" "When you insulted her love?" "Did you ever try to find if I was alive?" "How I spent each moment since that day..." "Today again I ask you..." "What would you do in my place?" "You are right. I have given you a lot of pain." "I thought I could get you back whenever I felt ready." "I never thought you would.." "I've lost you once again." "This time it is forever." "You be happy." "Tell me what happened." "There's another man." " Do you know who he is?" " No." " Does he know about you?" " Don't know. lt's not his fault." "His fault is he's between both of you." "I feel stifled in this city." "I'll return by the evening train." "What?" "Won't you wait for my wedding?" "I'm getting married in 2 days." "You have to attend it." "I won't listen to a word." "You will have to stay." "This is my fiancee." "My friend Rohit." "Won't you greet each other?" "I asked him to stay for our wedding." "But he doesn't agree." "It's not his fault." "He is sad." "The girl he loved is marrying somebody else." "But I won't like it if he doesn't stay for our wedding." "He might listen to you and stay." "We would be happy if you stayed for your friend's wedding." "If you want me I will stay." "You're not yet ready?" "It's my friend's wedding." "Everybody will watch when I get dressed!" "Everybody will watch the drunken scene you'll create." "If we'd get married together, we'd have a real ball!" "If not mine at least your wedding!" "Sometimes I feel you're saying something but I don't understand." "Even I don't understand." "They must be looking for the groom downstairs." " Go ahead." " Come soon." "Friend you punish me but not give me the time." "You've become a scene!" " What's wrong?" "Everybody is waiting." " Come on." "Save my Rohit!" "Save my Rohit!" "Or I will die!" "Go and call the doctor!" "Open your eyes!" "Call the doctor!" "is everything all right?" "The blood pressure and ECG are fine lt's a mild concussion." "He'll be fine in a day or two." "No cause for worry." "People who love don't die." "There's another man." "You are mine, only mine!" "You can't belong to anybody else!" "I also loved somebody." "I want to marry you." "But you know nothing about me." "Rohit was your past." "Lalit is your present!" "I like Chandni a lot." "Seeing her, I have some dreams." "I gave birth to him but you gave him life!" "I'll be grateful forever." "The day Chandni becomes your wife will be auspicious." "Vermilion adorns your hair beautifully." "is the suite booked?" "The honeymoon suite?" "Decorate the entire room with roses." "There should be nothing lacking." "One gets married just once in his lifetime." "Two tickets, first class." "What time is the flight?" "It's on time?" "I've never seen such a beautiful bride in my life!" "Driver get the car." "Keep the bags in the car." " Where are you?" "Not dressed?" " l'm ready since ages." "Where will I go?" "I am here." "It's time for the flight." "Where are you leaving me?" "I'm also waiting in the flanks." "You take so long dressing up like girls!" "Don't get hot. I'll change slowly." "You're looking beautiful." "Let's go. lt's getting late." "You've given me lots of love." "Live long, be happy." "Mother I'm your other son." " Don't forget me." " Can a mother forget her child?" "You're my younger son." "Go and be happy." "Why did you do this son?" "Mother this was a compromise, not love." "And one can't live life with a compromise." "Maybe you're not fated the joys of a daughter-in-law." "And love is not in my destiny."
