"An," "Sorry, I'm late." "No, it's Ok." "The doctor's not here, as yet." "Excuse me, aren't you the donor?" "Ok, you wait here." "I'll bring forms, then you can donate, okay?" "Sure." "It's rather warm." "You don't have to talk if you don't want to." "Careful." "Me you Ok?" "It's not a toy madam!" "It will change our whole life." "IT!" "He will throw you out of the house in your old age"" "...if you refer to the child as 'it'." "Ok." "But after a child is born, our whole life will change." "So?" "So!" "It's a big decision, it can't he taken in haste." "Look at Nishikant." "He can't survive a moment without Payal." "Do you recall how many fights he had with Nita initially." "Same arguments." "You husbands are all alike!" "Alright." "Look, it's your decision." "Do whatever feels right for you." "Oh?" "So this decision is mine alone, not yours?" "What about your career?" "And how will you repay the loan?" "Manav, we will regret it if we wait any longer." "We will adopt." "It's simple." "I really want us to have our own baby." "I want to get pregnant and enjoy every moment, please!" "Manav!" "Are you listening?" "What?" "What's wrung?" "Mia'.!" "Why not?" "When did I say no?" "Go ahead and do it." "I'm talking about having a BABY, not buying a bloody refrigerator." "I'm sorry." "Why did you do that?" "I love her." "I want a divorce." "Look, it's the right thing to do I guess." "I can't leave her." "What!" "I just can't." "This sari is really gorgeous, isn't it?" "Mi a?" "What happened?" "'I'm not ready', and now in a year's time, he is ready!" "He kept lying to me and I never got it." "I can't understand why I trusted him." "What an idiot I am!" "Sometimes things happen for the best." "Please!" "Life's not over." "You are still young." "I am never going to trust another man, ...ever." "It's just not worth it!" "You know what?" "I'm going to have a baby on my own!" "Yes..." "What!" "What is there to be so surprised?" "You don't need a man anymore to have a child." "Scientifically it's possible." "That's a very stupid idea." "No, it's not!" "What's the guarantee that the next man I meet, won't be another Manav?" "I don't want anybody any more." "It's too much of a risk." "If I can survive alone," "Then I can raise a child too, all by myself." "Mi a!" "Please." "Hello," "Yes Mother." "I am not at college." "I am out on some work with friends." "I shall speak with Dad later on." "Okay, bye." "Mummy called, from Jamshedpur." "Oh!" "Didn't you call her this morning?" "I have to call them every day." "Three times." "How are your studies going?" "I mean, when are your exams?" "There is still time for them." "Every semester lasts a year-and-a-half." "Excuse me, you are M..." "Mia Kidwai." "Right." "This is for you." "Fill up everything." "And this is for you." "Isn't it your third time?" "Yes." "Test reports?" "I gave them to you the last time." "It's fine." "Did you fast for three days?" "Yes." "Three days?" "But why does he have to fast for three days?" "It's not that kind of fasting, it's the OTHER kind." "It's mandatory before donation, for the sperm count to be strong." "Excuse me." "Just a minute, I'm coming." "Aren't you going to read through it?" "No, I have gone through it before." "It just states that" "I won't have any claim over the child, or have any parental rights." "But if you wish to meet the child anytime, you are free to." "I mean if you desire." "No." "That won't happen." "Once am done from here," "I won't meet you again." "Right." "The Delhi High Court has ruled" "That consensual sex between homosexual adults..." "Is legal." "The judgment..." "The petitioners did not expect in their lifetime." "The gate has opened" "I am too excited" "But colour of eyes, hair, height, education, that's all?" "Won't I get to know any more?" "We have done all the tests." "We make sure that we test up to three generations for any hereditary disorder." "Only then do we accept donors." "That's fine, but what about his nature, special talents or any other qualities?" "Then do you wish to ask someone known to you, to donate?" "A friend or a friend's husband?" "It's very simple." "He only has to just come here , we maintain absolute confidentiality." "Honestly speaking," "I prefer documentaries." "Nothing shocks you after that." "Raw unadulterated people." "I love it." "Really!" "So nothing can shock you?" "I don't believe it." "Try me." "Ok." "I wish to be the mother of your child." "What?" "You are kidding?" "No strings attached." "All you have to do is" "To donate your sperm, that's it." "Well in that case," "I would rather do it the conventional way." "Your place or mine?" "How about a little cup at the fertility clinic?" "You got me there!" "Well, now accept it" "That you can still be shocked!" "Okay, let's select the pictures for your homepage." "May be this one?" "If I select from one of your donors, then can I meet him?" "Afia it's not possible." "We don't allow that." "Then how do I find out what sort of a person he is?" "L..." "I need a face." "Afia, I promise you, you will get a healthy child." "Then it's up to you, how the child will turn out." "The kind of opportunities you'll give, the way you choose to bring up your child, it's all about nurture." "I need some time." "Let me think about it." "Srinagar is finished." "It's over damn it!" "Neither you, nor Ma or me, no one will go back." "And that's final." "Siddharth!" "Who will go hack to Kashmir?" "Are they going to let us stay there?" "Sell the house and finish matters." "But no, no one is willing to listen." "Stop being such a control freak." "And I don't know what to say to you either." "Doesn't the child need both parents?" "Meaning, no woman has ever raised a child alone before?" "But that's not a happy situation!" "No one wishes to be a single parent." "If you ask me, you are being really selfish." "Then so be it!" "I have decided." "And I think you are wrung." "Adopt one." "There are so many orphans." "Sure, adoption is great." "But why is it so difficult to accept that I want to have my own child?" "Why do I have to freakin... why do I have to go around convincing everybody that I am not abnormal?" "I'm tired of this." "Afia!" "Megha will you ask Siddharth?" "Please!" "Afia he's my brother!" "No one will know except the three of us," "really!" "I'm getting late." "I shall leave." "If life... could he lived by oneself then why feel someone's absence." "Why should the dawn he a burden..." "To the night" "Come let's change the norms..." "On this note." "On this note." "I never asked for the sky" "But yes..." "M least leave one window open." "Least the spirit to overcome succumbs..." "M some hurdle" "Come let's change the norms..." "On this note." "On this note." "If he is a medical student, he will surely understand" "Afia, even doctors have emotions" "Please, just once." "I want to meet him once." "Afia that's not possible, it's not possible." "Alright, I'll try another clinic." "Hold on," "let me try and talk to him about this" "Thank you." "Surf]?" "Yes?" "Hi, am Afia." "Hello." "Please sit." "Nice place, this floatel." "Whose idea was this red T-shirt?" "You could have come with even a red rose!" "But this red T-shirt in this heat!" "Sorry I was just joking." "Thanks for meeting me" "Before taking this decision, it was necessary to meet you." "Well, it was not necessary." "All my medical tests are fine." "I have donated before..." "I know, but I just wanted to know what kind of a person you are." "It's a big step for me," "I'm going to have a child from you." "So I needed to meet you at least once, right?" "Well, this isn't allowed." "I only agreed because the doctor requested me to, but you know this is wrong." "Just don't worry." "You see the form has such basic information, that it's all too inhuman." "I wanted to put a face to it." "It's really for me." "Okay." "The doctor mentioned that you're a medical student." "Yes." "So what are your hobbies?" "I have no time for them." "Ok." "You must enjoy music?" "Who doesn't enjoy music?" "I mean, what kind of music do you like?" "Modern, classical, 'lit-Lu" "Old songs from Hindi films." "Mohammad Rafi..." "Right." "Look, do you need to know anything else?" "I'm getting late." "Who all do you have in your family?" "Brother, sisters?" "Why?" "What's the relevance?" "Sorry." "Do you wish to ask me anything?" "No." "Dr. Basu strongly recommended you." "Look," "I really need to go somewhere." "I'm getting late." "Sure, sure." "The doctor will let you know when you need to come and really, thanks a lot for meeting me." "Ok." "Bye." "Yes?" "Yes sir." "They are here." "Right sir." "Doctor's coming." "Vasu, Vasu..." "Yes?" "Get him ready." "You go with him." "Please come, sir." "You please wait here." "Where's the restroom '.1" "HI." "Just going to the loo." "Me you Ok?" "Don't worry." "I know you have a good sperm count." "No, what I mean is things will be fine." "Thank you doctor." "Trust me." "Don't you believe me?" "You're very young." "So?" "What if am making a big mistake?" "Well, you didn't need to go through all this." "People would easily fall in love with you." "Seriously, you are very beautiful." "You're a very kind boy." "By the way, what do you do?" "Sorry if you don't want" "No." "I am a web designer" "WOW!" "Listen, how do I, you know... how do I compensate you for all this?" "You are paying the doctor." "Yeah, that I know..." "but I would like to." "No please, please" "I am giving you my phone number if you ever wish to meet me or..." "Good afternoon doctor!" "Good afternoon." "Hello." "How are you?"
