"Tamy, this is not fair." "I haven't read all of it yet" " I got to leave!" "So what?" "I got to leave too!" "Tamy, you are so mean." "Oh God!" "Oh my God." "You've been glued to the newspaper since this morning and didn't even tell me!" "Surprise, surprise!" " What surprise?" "Late surprise!" "Late surprise!" "I had heard of late reactions." "Late surprise's a new one on me!" "You've heard it now, okay?" " Tanu!" "Don't cut it out!" "I've yet to read it." "I'm cutting it already." "Why does Dj associates win this award every year?" "Because we are the best." "Let's hear it for us." "Yeah!" "And all thanks to one person." "Please put your hands together for Tamanna." "C'mon." "C'mon." " Thank you." "Also thanks to another person." "Please put your hands together for yours truly." "Sir, dinner?" "I waited so long for this." "I just don't want this night to end." "Thanks, Tam." "For standing by me when I started this small company." "And for being with me ever since." "Thanks for this award." "Thanks for your guidance." "Shall we eat?" "I'm not at all hungry!" " But it's Chinese." "Your favorite." "And it's supposed to be very good." "Ok." "All right." "Let's go." "What happened?" " I'm getting old." "What else?" "Tell me something new!" "Lalit, whom do you want to dedicate this song to?" "To my wife Nalini." "Tania, actually Nalini and I had a fight this morning" "I promised to take her out to the movies and myself forgot to be there" "I want to dedicate this song to her and say I'm sorry to her." "Look at him, Nalini." "Lalit really loves you" "Please forgive him." "And here's a special song for the two of you." "Have a great night everyone." "This call is being forwarded to..." "There's the train, parked right on top of the crematorium." "And just then the door of the compartment creaks open on its own." "It's just the bell!" "Jerk, it's your own story." "And you're running scared?" "Let's give her a surprise." " Quiet!" "Tanu, haven't you gone to sleep?" " If you had the key..." "Congratulations!" "Why is it so dark?" "No electricity?" " Sam was telling us a horror story." "Sam!" "Grow up!" " Hey, I was simply..." "You're the limit, Tania." "You start squealing the moment Big Sister arrives." "So when's the party?" " The party's already over." "And my tummy's full too." " No way!" "No excuses this time!" "You guys are acting as if something great has happened." "Maybe it wouldn't be so great for us if we won awards every day too." "Party!" "Party!" "Ok, guys." "Here's the deal." "The day my photo appears on the Cover-page of Business Today..." "I'll give you all a party." "Okay?" " Cheapo!" "Hey Surjit, what're you thinking of?" " Just a moment." "Very talented, man!" "Stinking caricature!" "Sam, be a sport." " He's a sport." "No wonder people keep playing with him." "Sure, do play with me all the time." "But what's happening in your own life, Miss Rossane?" "What?" "What?" "Rossane's an usher at Symphony from today." "Ooh!" "Wow!" "Free movies?" " I don't know how long I'll be there." "Not again, Rossane!" "Stick to at least some job!" "She's bored of the job even before joining it!" "Right." "No phone calls." "But it's Niharika." " Hi, Tamanna!" "Got my message?" "Sure, I even called back." " So you're coming, aren't you?" "No, I don't think I'll be able to make it." "Got loads of work to do." "Suit yourself." "Anyway, Rohit is coming." "What?" "Excuse me." "What did you say...?" " Rohit is coming." "Rohit...?" "Rohit Manchanda?" " Yup." "I'll kill you, if it turns out to be a lie." "So you're coming, right?" "Tamanna, what's happening?" "After all these years!" "Are you sure...?" "Yes." "He was in the U.S." "Tell him when you meet him." " What?" "What you couldn't tell him in 3 years of college." "Niharika... shut up, Ok." "Ok, Bye." "See ya." " Bye." "Oh God!" "Where's the CD of my songs, joseph?" "Get lost!" "And don't you dare touch my stuff." "I'll break your legs." "It's me!" " Tamanna?" "Has the air-conditioner in your room stalled again?" "No." "I couldn't go to sleep." " No problem, my ac's working fine." "May I sleep here?" " Sure" "Niharika had called." " Now...?" "Is everything all right?" "Guruji's birthday's coming up." " Good." "So when are you going?" "I don't think I'll be able to make it this time." "There's a lot of work to do for BSA." " So turn Niharika down." "But Rohit's coming this time" "Rohit?" "Manchanda...?" "Then, what are you thinking?" "We have the BSA account." "And Subbu won't let me go." "You will go to the office every day." "But Rohit's not coming every day." "You think I must talk to Subbu?" " Phone that old fossil right now!" "Tanu!" "It's 2 'O clock!" "Forget it." "I'll talk to him tomorrow." " Now!" "Wake him up!" "Our own sleep's been blown away!" " Tanu, let go!" "Promise...?" "Tomorrow?" " Yes, of course" "I'm so excited!" " I'm so sleepy." "And you are so boring." "It'll be very tragic if we lose this account of BSA cycles, Tamanna." "They stood by us when we had nothing else." "Remember, they are not only our first account." "But till date, the biggest source of revenue for us." "I understand that, Subbu Sir." "But it's only for two days." "In any case, our next meeting with them is scheduled only for Friday." "Well, whatever you feel like." "You're the one who deals with them and makes all those presentations." "I don't interfere in these things." "Subbu Sir..." "You trust me, don't you?" "Of course, I do." "Then please don't worry." "I'll give you no reason for complaints." "Oh." "C'mon, Tam." "Have a great trip, Ok?" " Thanks." "Hi." "That's not how it is, Rohit." "If every good and bad deed were to result in instant results there would be no element of mystery to God's ways." "And obviously, God wants to maintain this element of secrecy." "Rohit, maybe you never wanted what you did not get..." "And that which your heart craves for, I am sure you will certainly have." "Why are you standing there, Tamanna?" "Come here" "Happy Birthday, Guruji!" " Didn't I tell you she'd surely come?" "Look at him." "When he studied here, he'd go missing from class." "And after going missing... he has turned up now." "Ten years later" "Long time, Rohit." " Long time." "Go on." " No, you speak" "Do you come here every year?" " Yes." "On Guruji's birthday." "But this time, I..." "Hi Tam." " Hey, Niharika." "Hi, Rohit." "I hope you won't kill me now?" " Shut up, will you?" "You've already turned him into a coolie?" "I'm sorry." " No problem." "So when are you telling him?" " Shut up, Niharika" "What's going on?" "We students are painting a canvas together." "A little surprise for Guruji." "Rohit, come on." " Sanjay, look who's here!" "It's been so many years!" "Hi." " Almost forgot your face man." "But I can still remember the tunes you played on the guitar." "How have you been?" " Good" "Miss you a lot." "Hey, guys." "Look who's here?" "This is Rohit." "And we still play the tunes he composed" "We still use them, you know." "You must also paint something for Guruj." "I" "Yes, that's right." "Oh yes, go ahead!" "Sanjay!" "Listen!" "The teacher has arrived." "What's happening here?" "What are all of you doing?" "This is for you, Guruji." " Happy Birthday, Guruji!" "Let's have a song, Rohit" "Why are you laughing?" "Must we wait another 10 years to hear you sing?" "A hundred years." " Wow!" "Good joke" "Hey guys, get a guitar." "Watch out, Rohit." "If you don't sing, maybe I'll have to..." "No!" "Please save us!" "'Scents flowing from memory lane.'" "'Windows opening to the gentle knocking of moments past.'" "'Songs, held close to my heart and tunes I had forgotten..." "now return to me.'" "'Every sign of life, I have found all over again.'" "'Those lost shores, I've chanced upon again.'" "Remember, Tamanna?" "You used to mumble something to irritate me?" "Do you still mumble it?" " Some times When I think of you." "Hoping to irritate you, wherever you are." "Try it again." "Let's see if it still irritates me." "After a long long consideration, come to the conclusion matriculation examination is a big big botheration to the Indian nation whose main occupation is cultivation." "One more time." "After a long long consideration, come to the conclusion matriculation examination is a big big botheration to the Indian nation whose main occupation is cultivation." "Please one more time." "After a long long consideration, come to the conclusion matriculation examination is a big big botheration to the Indian nation, whose..." "I can't say." "Thanks, Tamanna." " What for?" "Can't remember, when I last laughed so much." "But one more time, please...?" "Shut up!" "Hi." " Hi." "How are you?" "Abstract." "Interesting." " Thank you." "Please." "I won't disturb you." "Hi." " This is beautiful." "You haven't lost your touch, Niharika." "I drop in some times." "To kill time." "He's not around." "But I'm not looking for anyone." "I told you." "He's not around." "So where is he?" "As if you don't know his favorite hideouts." "What are you doing...?" "Let it alone." "I'm sorry." "But it looks better without the earring." "I knew I'd find you here." "Some things never change." "Yes, some things never change." "Isn't this the place you had your guitar-practice at?" "Guruji had pinned a lot of hopes on me, hadn't he?" "(Tamanna hopes, desire)" "And what are you doing nowadays?" "Not much." "Niharika was telling me that you've been in New York." "Yes, I've spent a few years of my life in New York." "But my dreams..." " Dreams?" "So you've been sitting here..." "Hold on." "Let me complete." "Okay, what did you want to say?" " You are daydreaming here and everyone there's looking for you." "I've been looking for someone too." "Looks like I've found her." "Yes, I have." "That's a nice idea, Tamanna." "We've never done folk theater." "Ok." "That's settled then." "The background score will be handled by our America-returned music director." "Right, Rohit?" " Sure." "Great!" "How about starting tomorrow?" "By the way, guys, guess what?" "Rohit used to be very good at gymnastics." "Gymnastics!" "What nonsense!" "You don't know." "Rohit is so good!" "Had he not gone away to America to pursue a career in music he'd have been India's Olympics gymnast!" "You don't believe me?" "Show them the somersault routine." "Yes, go ahead." "They haven't seen you doing it." "Make way, guys..." "C'mon, Rohit... just look out for him." " Yeah, we'll see." "Yeah, buddy" "Ok. 1... 2... 3... 4... 5... 6... 7... 8." "Side." "All the best." "Two somersaults." "One twist." " Ok." "You are too good!" "Nice one, man." " Thank you." "Buddy, that was great!" "Amazing!" "It's very simple." "You must try it." "It's so easy." "C'mon." "Somersault of the year." " Start with the right leg." "Thank God your music's not like your somersaults!" "Now that I'm here, I realize how I missed all this." "Don't you intend to go back then?" "I'll have to." "For a few days." "Will you be coming back?" "For good?" " For good." "Great!" "I always knew it." " What?" "That you'd come back." "12 Dec 1994." "Was it you who put it in there?" "Why did you hide it, Tamanna?" "Why didn't you tell me?" "I was scared." "If only you had told me then... ten years of my lifetime wouldn't have been... castaway." "'Don't know much about History.'" "'Don't much about Biology.'" "'Don't know much about my science books.'" "'Don't know much about the French I took.'" "I do know that I love you." "I love you Tammana."

"Where is the pencil?" "Oh God!" "Hell, Tamy." "You could've at least given me a phone call." "Missed you." "There was so much to do today." "Why this long face?" "What happened?" "Didn't Rohit show up there?" "He did." "Rohit's number...?" "Great!" "I'm famished." "Half the number." " Why did he give you half of it?" "Is he crazy?" "Or was the other half meant to be a riddle for you to solve?" "That half got washed away in the bath." " Washed away!" "Why didn't you jot it down on a paper before you took a bath?" "How was I to know..." " C'mon!" "So I've made a mistake." "Haven't you given him your number?" " No." "Niharika must have his number!" "Oh yes!" "Jatin, will you bring Prashant and Leela to my cabin, please?" "Good." "Very interesting!" "Where are the tag lines?" "Try and skip the cliches, Thick, silken tresses..." "If that's what every shampoo's going to give them why would people buy our client's brand?" "Jatin, I worked on some lay-outs this morning." "I want something like this." "Take a close look at this." "Look at the color scheme." "Hi." " One moment, Prashant." "Is it ok?" " All right?" " Any questions?" "No." " So let's step on it." "We've very little time." " All right." "Prashant, how about the BSA Ladybird?" " It's coming up." "This is not done." "You said it would be ready by the time I returned." "Yes, I did, but..." "BSA is anyway thinking of taking away their products to another agency." "And I'm trying my very best to stop them from leaving us." "Because we're the ones in need." "Not they." "I know, but..." "How much more time?" " A day or two" "A day?" "Or two?" "Two." "Leave a copy of the brief on my table." "I told you, Tam." "Two Days." "No problem." "In the meanwhile, let me see if another idea clicks." "Because I'm meeting them on Friday." "All right." "As you wish?" "Hello" " Hello, Murthy." "Lunch?" "Eight to ten months?" "Which means, we have enough time." "Tamanna, times gonna fly." "A lot many agencies are approaching them with great designs and good track-records" "But I'm confident we'll get it." "We are the best, you know." "Niharika?" "Any news?" "No, he hasn't even replied to my emails." "Why is he doing this?" "Rohit will surely call." " All right." "Ok, fine." "Good morning, Sapna." " Good morning, sir." "How are you?" " Fine sir." "Tamanna...?" "Just go home." "Go home." "Subbu sir, I'm sorry." "I don't know when I fell asleep." "Tam, just go home." "No, no, there's so much to do." "The meeting's coming up in 3-4 days." "You haven't been home in 2 days." " I have a change of clothes here." "I'll be back in a moment." "Just listen to me." "Come back only after lunch, okay?" "Is that Ms Tamanna Sahni?" " Yes." "We found your card in your sister's bag." "She has met with an accident." "She's been admitted to the Manipal Hospital." "Please meet Dr Rai Singh immediately." "Dr. Rai Singh?" " Over there." "Straight?" " Yes." " Thanks." "Dr. Rai Singh?" " Yes?" " Tamanna Sahni." "Please sit." "My sister...?" " She's fine" "It's not serious, I hope?" " Nothing serious." "Just a hairline fracture and a swelling on her head." "Thank God, she was wearing a helmet." "I'd like to go and see her." "Yeah sure." "Hi Tania." "How are you feeling now?" "Inspector, this is Tania's sister Tamanna." "You'll have to collect your sister's bike from the police station, madam." "There'll be some paperwork to do." "Right ma'am." "Take care of yourself." "Thank you." "Let me see those x-rays." "How often have I asked you not to speed so much?" "!" "Why don't you listen to me...?" " Please, Tammy!" "What if something serious had happened?" "Please stop crying, Tammy." "I'm okay." " You're telling me?" "Thank you." "Thank you very much." " Not at all." "We have the x-rays and prescriptions." "You'll have to send for the medicines" "By the way, she had a cut vein in the calf so we had to give her some blood." "As a policy, you must replace it." "B-positive, if possible." "I'm B-positive too." " That's good." "Yeah, jatin." "I should be there in thirty minutes." "Oh God!" " Ready in five minutes." " So am I." "Tell Sada to at least order printer cartridges on time." "Ok, sure." " What a waste of time!" "Oh God!" "Right timing." "Tamanna?" " Yes?" "I got something important to talk to you about." "Can you come over?" "Is Tania all right?" " Tania?" "She's fine." "Tam, they arewaiting." "Meet me as soon as come." "I'll be right here." "But Tania..." " She's fine." "Just come and see me." "I'll be waiting, okay?" "Thanks." " Bye." "How about those reports of the test we sent for a reconfirmation?" "Prashant, one minute." " Yeah." "I got to leave for the hospital immediately." "Could you go over to BSA for the first meeting, please?" "As you wish." "Don't worry." "They are 990/0 convinced." "Just make this presentation there." "I'll take Tania home and give you a call." "What's up?" " What's up?" "That's what I want to know." "What's up?" " What's that about?" "What happened?" " Someone delivered a baby boy." "There were some showers and there was also said to be a bomb blast somewhere." "That's what's been happening." "Nothing else" "Why did Dr Rai Singh call me over so urgently?" "I'm not Tania Rai Singh to know." "Am I?" "I'm just packing my bags." "Subi and Ross are coming to pick me up." "I thought you were here to take me home." "Anyway, you can go back to the office after getting me a discharge." "My friends will drop me home." " So you're taking a dig at me?" "Of course." "How often have you come to see me in the hospital?" "Tanu, stop acting like a baby." "Don't you know how much work I have at the office?" "Sure, I do." "That old Subu also called." "How are you, my child?" "How are you?" "Get well soon." "Tanu, that's very very mean." "We'll go home after I see the doctor, okay?" "I'll back." "You're not angry with me over this stupid accident, are you?" "I just wanted to say that I'm angry." "Don't act silly." "I'm not angry, okay?" "I thought that was the reason why you didn't come to see me" "There was such a huge backlog of BSA as soon as it's over, we'll go on a long holiday." "Promise." " Promise." "May I go now?" "And see Dr Rai Singh?" "We've got to go home." "Let's have a long chat once we get home, okay?" "You said you wanted to talk to me." "I'm so sorry I'm late." "Doctor, you've looked after Tania so well." "I just don't know how to thank you." "Can I take Tania home?" "Tamanna, listen carefully to what I'm about to tell you" "Tania...?" "Is there...?" "She's perfectly fine." "It's the blood sample you gave us, we sent it to the lab for a test as we do in every case." "Usually, there is no need for us to tell the patient about the results." "I just felt that you should know." "Your blood is HIV-positive." "Tamanna, I'm sorry." "Without your permission, I got an eliza test done to reconfirm the results." "That was positive too." "Tamanna, your parents have met with an accident." "Their car has fallen in a gorge." "Tamanna, don't be under the impression that you have AIDS." "The virus hasn't started spreading in your body yet." "If you wish, you could even have a western blot test conducted." "I wish you would see a counselor to overcome the shock." "And yes, you will have to take better care of your health." "There will be medicines to take... once in month." "God!" "Save me!" "It's enough." "Hey!" "Here she is." "Let's go." "Now be careful." "Don't trip and fall." "Don't worry." "She's ok." "Let's go." "I'm driving." "Why are you so tongue-tied...?" "And you said we'd have a long chat at home?" "Worried about BSA?" "What an idiot I am!" "You already have so many worries." "And I keep talking nonsense." "HIV." "I can't figure out anything." "How did it happen...?" "When?" "I never had a blood transfusion." "No injections." "Yes, there was this special girl." "The best thing about her was that apart from me, there were nine other guys in her life." "You know." "You don't even have to say that I love when you are in love." "Six." "Six Vows" "Will you take the seventh one with me?" "C'mon." "Be original." "Say yes." "Rohit..." "I..." "Good morning." "What are staring at?" " You." "The one I only dreamt of." "Rohit...?" "We are sorry." "The number you have reached is not in service." "Please check the number or try your call again." "This is a recording" "Niharika, you're the one Rohit called earlier, isn't it?" "That's true, but I've tried all the numbers Rohit had given me but there has been no response." "I've asked all his friends here but none of them knows anything." "He's untraceable." "Please keep trying Niharika." " Sure, Tania." "Sorry." "Your call cannot be completely dialed." "Please check the number and dial..." "Hello." " Hello." " Could I speak to Rohit please." "Has Tam had something to eat?" " No." "Hello, is Rohit there?" " I'm sorry." "It's a wrong number." "There's mail from one of our listeners, but there's no name." "She writes that her sister is presently facing a very severe problem which makes her keep very silent" "But you needn't worry at all!" "Tanya is here for you with her magic wand." "She will request your sister..." "Why do you make our listener so sad?" "Why don't you talk to her?" "She loves you so dearly and can't bear to see you sad." "And this is the song she dedicates to you" "'Smile and let grief be ashamed.'" "'Let the raindrops make a gentle patter as they descend to the ground.'" "'Lt's what the breeze says..." "'Let's kiss the skies together.'" "Look at this Tammy." "Your photo's on the cover-page of Business Today." "I'm so happy." "Nothing's happening to you, Tammy." "'Serenity is like a lake." "It's part of you.'" "'Mischief is like the rivers." "It flows ahead of you.'" "'Peel off the facade of sorrow." "Let the world rejoice.'" "'Let the tiny pebbles tickle your soles... ' 'lt's there in the breeze... '" "'Let's kiss the skies.'" "Good morning." "What is it?" "Nothing." "I'll see you in the evening." "Do you think it'll take time for my photo to appear on Business Today?" "No." " I don't think so too." "Bye." "Hi Leela." "Good morning, Sapna." "Yes." "You...?" "I'm the creative head." "May I help you?" "I guess." "I'll have to help myself." "I don't think this copy works." "The morning light waves and anticipation and all that." "I think it will go over the consumer's head." "I think we should be little more direct." "Later." "How are you keeping, Tamanna?" "Who's that in my cabin?" "That man in the cabin is Suresh." "May I know... why?" "We barely managed to save BSA from slipping out of our hands." "I..." "I had already presented my designs and they were very impressed." "It was Prashant who presented the designs." "You had only had a discussion." "Who presented them makes no difference." "I was the one who made the designs, isn't it?" "Their account is here because of my work!" "That's what you think." "But they were very very upset." "You didn't attend a meeting with them." "It was first Tania's accident." "After that came your own personal health." "Our company almost lost the BSA account." "Business needs discipline, Tamanna." "But my work was perfect, sir." "Your termination letter will explain the rest of the details to you." "It was nice... nice working with you, sir." "I've been ruined, sir!" "The insurance guys have rejected my claim." "Delay your premium by a day and these guys wring your neck." "And now..." " Enough." "Thank you Mr. Yogi." "Do you have another business apart from the timber mart?" "No, I don't." "Else, I wouldn't have been in such dire straits." "I invested all I had in this business, sir." "You must help me now." "Please answer only the questions you are asked." "Thank you, sir." "What did you do with the ashes of the timber that was burnt?" "I object." "Is this a joke!" "Mr. Anand!" " Of course, sir." "Give me a moment." "I'll be back." "Here you go." "That's for you." "Mr Yogi... do you recognize this?" "Very good." "Sir, this is a receipt from Sudha foundries for a ton of coal purchased from our very own Mr. Yogi." "Mr. Yogi sold the charcoal of the burnt timber to Sudha Foundries." "The price of the charcoal was far more than the price of the timber." "Hence my client is not liable to pay Mr. Yogi a single penny." "You honor, my client would like to withdraw this case." "Very good decision." "Thank you, your honor." "Have a very good day." "Let's go." "Yes, sir." "I get it." "Thank you." "Bye." "Hi Tarun." " Hello Divya." "How are you?" " I'm fine." "Hello Tarun." " Hi Kalpu." "We're still meeting for coffee?" "Well" " Well?" "And." " And?" "Oh!" "What happened?" " What do you think?" "Oh, I'm sorry." "Better luck next time." "Damn it!" "I've won!" "What?" " What is this, man?" "Great!" "Congrats!" " Yeah, Thank you." "Did you win or lose, Tarun?" "Now what is your problem...?" "I'm sorry." " I'm a good lawyer." "Congrats!" " No, I'm a good lawyer." "Have some faith." "I don't know why everybody in this office is picking on me." "I won." "Well." " Well?" "So." " So?" "Tamanna Sahni." " Yes." "In there." "Since half an hour." "Oh Shit!" "Do me a favor, babes." "Send two cups of coffee, please" "Ok." " Thank you." "Hello." "Hi." " Hello." "Hi Tamanna." "Nice to meet you." "Did Rosanne tell you..." " Yes, she told me." "Please sit." "That's fine." " Yes." "I've ordered for a filing cabinet." "Rosy was telling me that you had a problem with your job?" "Come in." " Yes, and that is why I..." "Coffee." "Will you have some coffee?" " Yeah, sure." "Good." "Let me put this away." "Thank you." " Thank you." "So this place you were working at?" "You were sacked without a reason?" "Yes." "From Tj Associates." "I want to file a suit against them." "They claim I wasn't doing my job properly." "They cite incompetence and negligence." "What do you have to say?" "Because I'm HIV-positive." "Excuse me." "HIV-positive!" "You've AIDS?" " No." "AIDS is a different stage." "Until the HIV virus attacks the blood cells it remains dormant in one's body." "Till then..." "When is AIDS likely to happen?" " Maybe tomorrow." "Maybe 15 or 20 years." "It all depends on how one looks himself oneself." "Medication..." " Hold on, hold on." "Ms. Sahni, I get your point." "Your boss claims you were sacked because you weren't doing a job properly..." "And you insist he sacked you because you're an AIDS patient?" "HIV positive." " Yeah, sorry." "HIV" "He fired you because he didn't want an HIV-positive patient in his office?" "Right?" " Yes" "That's exactly why I was fired." "Mr. Anand?" " Yes." "Miss Sahni, I'm a corporate lawyer." "And this is a case of employment." "This is not my field or expertise." "All I can suggest is that you consult a specialist..." "Sure." "Eleven lawyers before you have given me the same advice." "Anyway, thanks for your time." "Just relax, I say." " Relax, my foot!" "She sat there in my office, just a couple of feet away." "She touched my hand, gave me the coffee..." "She was breathing on me." "Your BP is very much normal." "And this is how HIV virus got only through blood..." "I know, I know." "Blood, bodily fluid, semen..." "I studied in school." "But I just wanted to make sure." "I was so scared." "But why?" "You don't contract it by sitting together, by shaking hands by breathing the same air, not even by kissing each other." "Oh yes, if there is something in your past that..." "What's that?" " I'm taking your blood for a test" "HIV-test?" "You know me since our school days, Bunty!" "No wonder." " Shut up!" "Have you ever done drugs?" "Or been to a prostitute perhaps?" "Call girl?" " Thank you very much, buddy." "I'll see you at dinner." "Have you had sex with a stranger, without the protection of a condom...?" "Tarun, this is Rossane." "Are you free?" "I need to have a word with you." "This friend of yours, Rosy." "I'm sorry..." "No, Tarun." "It's my mistake that I sent her to you" "How could you do this?" " Won't you hear me out?" "Looks my opinion about you was wrong." "But I know Tamanna well." "She will never concede defeat." "Anyway, she doesn't need your help and she will manage..." "How often has jH Industries filed claims for insurance in the last 5 years?" "And what is the condition of their fire prevention system?" "You think jH Industries deliberately started a fire in their stores?" "For insurance?" " Guess what?" "Therefore, maybe there are many instances of fire there." "The directors burn in the fire of jealousy with each other." "And the employers are jealous of the directors." "JH Industries is always on fire!" "Mr Satsangi's sure feeling the heat all right." "Let's work." "Ok boys, the cases are Kamani industries versus National Insurance." "KGB Mills versus Indian Under writers." "And ruling in supreme court given by Khanna Shoes versus National Insurance company." "Carry on, I'll join you soon." " Ok." "Excuse me..." " Oh, I'm sorry. - I thought I wouldn't find it. " "Excuse me." "Ms. Tamanna Sahni, right?" " Yes." "Have you found a lawyer?" " Yes." "Who is it?" " Tamanna Sahni." "Taking on the entire responsibility..." "good." "One has to put up a fight." "Even if one has to do it on his own." "That much right we all enjoy, don't we?" "You're a quick learner." "I already pity the lawyers who are going to represent Tj Associates." "Are you poking fun at me, Mr. Anand?" "Just a bit." "I know, I'm being pigheaded in trying to learn all this." "But I can't help it." "It isn't easy to convince lawyers nowadays." "I'm speaking on a personal experience." "I'd like to fight your case." "If you agree." "There's not much I know about HIV-related cases." "In fact, this will be my first such case." "However, there is someone I know who can guide us." "Really?" " Yes, I'd like to have a word with him." "I've to go." "I got to attend a hearing." "But I'll be in touch." "Take care, Ok?" "Yeah, thank you." " Bye." "Your phone number... never mind." "I'll take it from Rosy." "Tammy... has Friends begun?" " Long ago." "Hi, how are you?" "You know Tarun, Rossane's friend?" "Volume, Tammy." "Volume." "Tarun's ready to fight my case." "What did you say...?" " What did I say?" "You just said something about Rossane's friend and the case...?" "He's ready to fight it." " What?" "Lts hours since I got home and you're telling me now?" "Sorry, I made a mistake." "Okay?" " Not fair!" "You're so quiet and I'm so happy!" " Thanks." "What else did he have to say?" " That's my bottle..." "So...?" "I'll catch the HIV infection?" "Shut up!" "You talk any nonsense!" " You shut up, Tammy." "Stop discriminating against yourself before you expect it from the others" "I'm sorry." " It's ok." "They call him Lal Sir." "He teaches at the law school here." "He used to practice at the Shearman and Sterling in America." "He even fought an AIDS-related case there." "Hi, Lal sir... how are you?" "Fine, how are you." "You got your boss's permission?" " Satsangi...?" "That's no problem." "What happened to that insurance case?" "I don't think they're gonna miss me." " Ok." "Come." "Sir, I thought we could go in my car." " You know about me." "Sir, I've just bought it." "It's a new car." "I want you to ride it." "Ok." "My wishes." "Just come with me." "Come." "C'mon." "I bet it won't start." "Let's go." " You've to push." "I knew it." "Ready." " Yeah." " Ok." "Here we go." "Try it now." " Yeah." "Try it again." "Thank you." "Why did you accept Tamanna Sahni's brief in the first place?" "Is it necessary to tell you?" " Yes, it's a difficult case." "You need to be clear as to why you are accepting it." "I actually became a lawyer to help people, sir." "But in the last two years, I've been caught up with big firms, big cases and the works." "Tamanna came to the court every day and nobody wanted to even touch her case." "She was determined to fight by herself." "When I saw her determination it made me realize this is why I became a lawyer." "If I can't help people like Tamanna Sahni then what's the point?" "If you feel so strongly about it..." "Why did you refuse to accept the case in the first place?" "Sir, she's HIV positive and I..." "Were you scared you'd catch the infection from her?" "In which case, you shouldn't be sitting with me in this car either." "I had a client who was an HIV patient." "I used to shake hands with her and also..." "Sir, please." "I'm sorry." "Don't get serious." "I'm just pulling your leg." "I think they are long enough, sir." " Ok." "Ground 1." "She claims she was fired because she's HIV-positive?" " Ok." "Ground 2." "She says she still is competent enough to work." "Precisely." " Right." "Her job profile." " Sir she is..." "Sir, she was one of the high salaried persons in he company." "Creative head of the company." "She also shared profits from whatever accounts she handled." "In that case she can't Tj associates to court." "No." "What?" "!" "Why not?" "There's no law in India which entitles an employee to file a suit against the employer, for termination of services." "They've also cleared your dues." " It isn't about my dues." "It's about wrongfully removing me from my service." "Unfortunately, the Indian law does not consider it wrongful." "It's different in America and Europe..." "They have a number of laws to prevent discrimination against HIV and AIDS cases." "But I came across this policy on the internet, sir." "The government's national AIDS prevention and control policy..." "It's just a policy." "It doesn't even have legal sanction." "There is a way out." "Judges have the power to take up a case that cannot be filed under any written law." "That's only if they feel that the case is worthy of being heard in court." "Otherwise..." "That's the only way out." " I'm glad it's the only way." "Else, it'd have created confusion over which course to take." "There's another thing, Tamanna." "When this case is taken up in court if it all it is taken up..." "Tj's lawyers are likely to ask you all sort of questions." "About your personal life." "Questions you will have to answer." "So give it another thought." "You've to be prepared for it." "A day after Subbu fired me, there was an article in the Economic Times." "Subbu gave all the credit for the work I had put in for BSA's account to the new creative director." "And you say they are likely to ask me about my personal life?" "A personal life in which I stayed up all nights to complete my official work at home." "No friends circle." "Because of which I had no social life" "In fact, I couldn't share little joys with Tania in which she missed me the most." "Why did I put in such a lot of hard work and make so many sacrifices?" "It was for myself." "Because it meant the life to me." "My professional life was my personal life." "That was my only life." "I have a question for you, Mr Lal?" "What would you do if someone tried to snatch your very life from you?" "The anger that is pent up in you, will prove useful in court." "Provided it's still there." "Have a coffee." "Do we have a new supplier of milk?" " Shut up." "It was lying on the floor" "Thanks." "Come in." "Lal Sir had called." "Those are my bank statements they account for all the remuneration I received." "Lal Sir was right here." "He left this morning." "He's got to go to the college." "Was Lal Sir here all night?" "To help you out?" "When Subbu Sir and I started Tj Associates we too used to work through the nights like this." "There were just the two of us, a peon and a flask of coffee." "Most of the time, Subbu Sir himself made the photocopies." "We used to have a secondhand machine then." "I wonder where he got it from" "His hands used to be black with the machine's ink, every evening." "You know." "Hi, Kalyani." "Sorry to keep you waiting." "You better be Tj." "I've got to get to the court." "Tea, coffee...?" "Anything for you, Kalyani?" "I got to be at the court, Tj." "A legal notice from Tamanna's lawyers this morning." "Wrong termination of services." "It says that we fired Tamanna because she's suffering from AIDS." "That it wasn't because of her incompetence." "Tj, you had no idea that Tamanna was HIV positive." "You just did not know." "Remember that." "Till you received this notice you did not know that Tamanna was HIV positive." "Make it clear to the rest of your staff too." "None of them are supposed to know of Tamanna's illness." "Kalyani, this company is my life." "I want to know about her personal life." "Every little detail." "However minor." "Nervous?" "Me too." "Hello." "You are looking fine." "Hello, Kalyani." " Hello." "Congratulations on the new book." "Thank you reading it." "Hello, Mr. Tj." "Thank you." "Today, I hope to settle the matter among ourselves." "The plaintive and the defendant can discuss this personally with me if they want to without their attorneys." " I don't mind." " Me too." "And you." "Mr Subramanian, she wants her job back." "What do you have to say?" "That's not possible, sir." "Tamanna, he doesn't want you back on the job." "However, sir..." "I'm willing to pay Tamanna half a million rupees." "We have cleared her settlement dues." "Even then..." "I don't want his money." "I want my job" "And also a letter stating that my termination was a mistake and that I'm competent to work." "I'm sorry, Tamanna." "I cannot speak this lie." "You were negligent in your duties." "You didn't do your job properly." "In that case, you could say that in court." "Under oath." "I'd like to see that too." "Cases." " AC Versus Union of India." "X versus hospital ruled by supreme court." "Good!" " I had a good teacher." "Dr. Rai Singh." "MBBS from All India Institute of medical sciences in 1986." "Can I see the list of witnesses?" " Right, sir." "Excuse me." " What happened?" "Must be Nisha." "The poor girl must be waiting somewhere." "He must've called her over for lunch and forgotten about it" "What happened, Tarun?" " Sorry, sir..." "I had to meet Nisha over lunch and forgot about it." "You find it funny?" "And I'm suffering!" "She doesn't want to see me again." "I'm dead." "I don't blame her." "Do you?" " Neither do I?" "In her shoes, I'd have done the same thing." "If you were in her shoes, what should I have done then?" "A dozen long-stemmed roses, candle-light dinner and maybe..." "And...?" "Is there more to come?" " Of course." "You'd have had to go down on your knees and beg for forgiveness." "Ok, guys." "Let's get back to work." "Correct, sir." "Let me see the list of witnesses." "Tamanna, this is the list of people Kalyani will present in court as Tj's witnesses." "Tell us whatever you know about them especially the sort of rapport you shared with them" "Prashant Mathur..." "Did you get it?" " I've been waiting for you, Tarun!" "Did you get the adjournment?" " Yes, here you are." "For me...?" "They're so beautiful." "Thanks" "Got to give some to Nisha too." " Any dearth of roses in Bangalore?" "No... dearth of money actually." "On our way, let's stop at a sports shop." "A sports shop?" " Yes." "To buy some knee caps." "So your knees won't hurt." "All the best." " Yeah." "Very funny." "Bye." "Do you have a car?" " Yes." "Can I borrow it?" "My car broke down" "Tarun!" " Please." " You are shameless." "Tarun, get up." "Coffee." "Don't forget, you're up against Kalyani." "When she was in school, she lost her right arm in a bus accident." "Her parents filed a case of negligence against the bus company... and lost." "That Kalyani is one of India's top lawyers today." "Why did you give Tamanna the offer to work with you?" "Well, I thought that maybe she had the talent and..." "No, Tj!" "When Tamanna's lawyer puts this question to you answer him confidently." "And don't speak any lies, unless I ask you to." "Instead say, Because Tamanna was talented." "I had seen her work" "Now... why did you give Tamanna the offer to work with you?" "Tamanna was a talented girl and..." "If she was indeed talented, how did she suddenly become inefficient...?" "The reason why you fired her from the job" "When I gave her the offer, I thought she would do her best." "However..." " However what, Mr Subramanian?" "However for the awards Tamanna won for your company...?" "...or is it for the clients she brought to your company?" "Please explain this to the court." "The awards were a result of the company's teamwork." "Tamanna had not worked all alone on them." "But you gave only Tamanna a share of the profits...?" "Not the whole team?" "That was then." "Tamanna Used to work hard then." "She became complacent once we got the BSA account and her results were poor." "Good." "Maintain this tone in court." "Kalyani, I don't want to employ an AIDS patient in my office." "This has nothing to do with her health and ability." "This is a reflection of her character." "Wow!" "Where has the sun Risen from today?" "You're dressed up already?" "The first day of the hearing, isn't it?" "Yogurt and sugar." " What's all this, Tanu?" "Remember?" "Mom always gave it to us before we left for our exams?" "For good luck?" "For all you know the Sun might rise from the west today and return all your happiness to you." "Thank you." "Thank you." "Please introduce yourself." "Suresh Muthana." "CEO of Megan cosmetics." " Thank you." "In 1999, Tamanna Sahni designed an ad campaign for your company..." "It was Tj Associates who designed The ad campaign for us." "And Tamanna Sahni was head of The team?" " That's right." "What do you think of Tamanna Sahni's designs?" "They were okay." " Okay...?" "Or were they very good?" "They were okay." " Mr Mutanna when I approached you with a request to be a witness in this case..." "This is what you had to say about Tamanna Sahni's work." "Tamanna's work was outstanding." "In 3 months, her work turns okay from outstanding?" "Objection." " Sustained." "Mr Sinha, following Tamanna Sahni's campaign the sales of your company had improved by 56 per cent." "As per your annual report." "The improvement wasn't only because of the campaign." "There were many other factors involved." "Ok." "Thank you Mr. Sinha." "Your witness." "Is it true that it was Mr Subramanian who supervised the plan of your campaign?" "Yes, he didm" "In other words, everything Tamanna Sahni was doing was being supervised by Mr Tj Subramanian?" "Right?" " Right." "Would it be okay to say then that Tamanna Sahni was merely following Mr Tj Subramanian's orders...?" "And that the ideas and the brains behind the campaign were actually Mr Tj Subramanian's?" "I object." " Overruled." "Answer the question." "The campaign was indeed the result of Mr Subramaniam's ideas and Tamanna was merely following orders." "Thank you Mr. Sinha." " No further questions your honor." "Feeling better?" "I have no more witnesses left." "So use the ones they have." "Sometimes, I feel scared." "Tamanna has pinned all her hopes on this case... on me." "It's a good thing if it scares you." "You'll do your best." "Did you prepare the designs that were sent for BSA's approval?" " No." "Which means the designs you went to present were prepared by someone else." "By Tamanna." " No, sir." "Our new creative director Mr Suresh Samtani prepared the designs." "Mr Mathur, Mr Suresh Samtani joined Tj Associates on june 18, 2003." "And these designs were approved on May 20, 2003." "Here is a copy of Mr Samtani's appointment letter." "That's for you." "Mr Subramanian had entrusted this assignment to Mr Samtani... mmeven before his appointment, because it was very important and because Ms Tamanna Sahni wasn't being able to handle it competently." "All right." "This is a copy of the letter BSA sent to Tj Associates dated May 20, 2003." "The Marketing Head states that they had quite liked the designs of Tamanna Sahni that were presented to them" "He writes..." "We'd like to let you know that the designs presented by Ms. Tamanna Sahni on the 15th of May 192003 were very good and have been approved." "Barring a few minor changes, which have been stated as under." "Me Lord, this letter was not shown to the defense along with all the other evidence presented by the plaintiff's attorney." "Ms. Kalyani, I think I'll allow it." " Thank you, Me Lord." "Me lord, I'll like to cite the judgement in AK single versus B. Lal 1998 A1 HC 2287, which rules that photocopy of document is inadmissible as evidence." "Me Lord, I'll like to ask Tj associates to the originals from the records." "The next time you send documents to me, just make sure the one you're sending it with is not making photocopies of them!" "I just can't believe this at all." "Were you the one who gave Tarun a photocopy of that letter?" "I have a letter for you, too." "My resignation." "I hope you're coming, Sameer?" "I'm sorry, I can't come today." " What do you mean...?" "Today is Tammy's birthday." " I'm sorry, Tania..." "Actually, Sonali and I are planning to have a baby." "And..." "I think I'd better stay away from any kind of infection." "Please understand and convey my wishes to Tam." "Want me to serve dinner?" " Let's wait for Sam." "I don't think he's coming." " When I called, he said he'll call back in two minutes." " And it's 3 hours already." "Let's wait a little while more." " I know for sure, he's not coming." "He's afraid he might contract AIDS if he comes close to Tammy!" "I'll get that." "Hi." " Hi." "Happy Birthday." " Thank you." "How did you get to know?" " You didn't tell me, but I get to know." "I'm your lawyer after all." "It's my job." "Rosy's here too." "Hi Rosy" " Hi." " Hi Baby." "This is Goody." " Hi, How are you." " Good." " Nice to meet you." "I believe you've just started your fiftieth job." "Congratulations!" "How about a golden jubilee?" "Rosy, do I have to pay you a commission for getting me Tamanna's case?" "Just win the case for Tam." "You could call that my commission." "She'll win the case, all right." "She's so used to it." "No wonder she has all those awards." "But there's a problem with me." "When it comes to victory, I..." "Whether you win it or I, it's one and the same thing." "That's very much like him, Tam." "To keep throwing words back and forth." "Without making any sense." " That's great!" "Which means I have the makings of a successful lawyer." "Good!" "There's still a hope." "I'm very happy." "Very good." "At eleven tomorrow?" " Yes." "When I was about to appear for my first case and called on Mr Satsangi first, he asked me..." "How is your preparation?" "I said, I've done my best sir" "He said, The client pays you not to do your best he pays you to win the case" "I guess what I wanna say is that I've done my best in this case so far." "Only my best." "I haven't been able to present the case as effectively as I expected to." "You know what, Tarun." "I only asked you to stand by me in my fight." "And you're doing that" "I don't expect or hope for anything more than that." "I will speak the truth and nothing but the truth." "Had you informed Mr Tj Subramanian about your absence?" "I did." "For a week, I couldn't overcome the shock." "Subbu Sir made several calls, but I didn't take them." "And finally, he came to my house." "To meet me." "To begin with, he couldn't understand anything." "I then told him about my HIV report." "Why did you tell Mr Subramanian?" "Why did you have to tell something personal to anyone at the office?" "Subbu Sir wasn't just my boss or my employer." "In the last nine years, ever since I have known him he has stood by me through every hardship of mine." "In a manner that perhaps my parents would have stood by me had they been alive today." "Subbu Sir made up for the lack of my parents." "He was like a father figure to me." "He was my hero." "Your witness." "When did you start working for Tj Associates?" "In 1997." "Subbu Sir and I used to work for HTA before that." "When Subbu Sir decided to quit HTA he asked me join him and I did." "Was Mr Tj Subramanian offering you a higher salary than HTA?" "There wasn't anything of the sort." "The two of us took the decision born out of creative independence." "I knew, my income wouldn't be much initially." "But you took the risk?" " It was worth taking the risk." "Of course, it was worth taking the risk." "In just 3 years, Tj Associates got big accounts like BSA and TSM." "You said that you quit HTA for creative independence." "Did Mr Subramanian ever attempt to override or suppress your creative independence...?" "...in these seven years?" " No." "In other words, Mr Tj Subramanian kept the promise he had made to you?" "Yes." " Last year in the middle of a huge campaign for BSA you suddenly told Mr Subramanian that you wanted leave." "Did he turn down your request?" " No." "What did you seek the leave for?" "Objection, Me Lord." "Irrelevant." " Sustained." "What was more important than the BSA campaign, Tamanna?" "Objection, Me Lord." " Ms. Kalyani." "Please stick to the questions pertaining to the case." "How did you contract the HIV infection, Tamanna?" "Tamanna... answer me." "How did you get the HIV infection?" "How did you get the HIV infection?" "Rohit...?" "Didn't you ever ask him why he had done this to you?" "Why didn't he tell you that he was HIV-positive?" "I couldn't establish contact with him again." "That's really sad." "That's really terrible." "How could anyone be such a scoundrel, so sadistic, so selfish..." "Weren't you angry with Rohit?" "Tamanna...?" " I was." "I was very angry." "Very angry." "And you're now bringing out the same anger against Tj Associates?" "Your anger against Rohit?" "Finally, it wasn't worth taking the risk, was it?" "Mr Subramanian, why did you make Tamanna Sahni an offer to work with you?" "Tamanna was a talented girl." "I had seen her work." "You also gave her a share in the profits of your company." "Right?" "From the profits I made from clients who were impressed with Tamanna's work..." "I paid Tamanna 20 per cent of the profits." "Which means you had made no mistake by making Tamanna Sahni an offer to work with you?" " Certainly not." "I was proud of her work." "But then, Tamanna turned over-confident." "If she wished, she could have been far more successful." "But her indiscipline had started having an effect on her work." "What makes you say that?" "Her work started getting delayed." "She was paying more attention to her personal life." "Mr Subramanian, can you place a hand on your heart and say that you fired Tamanna Sahni only because she wasn't efficient enough?" "That there was no other reason?" " Objection!" " Sustained." "Please." "For a moment, put yourself in Tamanna's shoes and tell me was what you did, right?" "Objection Me Lord." " No, I'll take that." "I'd like to answer this question." "Had Tamanna been in my shoes and I in hers..." "I'd have been glad if Tamanna did what I have eventually done." "This is a company of my dreams." "And whatever I have done, I have done for the company." "Excuse me." "Rohit Manchanda...?" "I didn't know." "I had no idea..." "I was HIV positive." "I didn't know..." "I'm sorry." "I know how hurt you are." "But things like this keep happening in court cases." "We've lost in the civil court." "But we can file an appeal in the High Court." "I don't want to file an appeal." "If you wish to find another lawyer, I can understand..." "I haven't been able to win the case for you." "Rohit is back." "He's in the last stage." "Did he say where he was all these days?" "When he was here last, he didn't know he was HIV-positive." "After his return, his health started deteriorating suddenly." "When the doctors conducted a check, they found that the AIDS virus had begun to spread in his body." "He spent a few months in hospital..." "But when he got to know that his life could end any moment he returned hoping against hope that nothing had happened to me." "But when Niharika told him about me he was shattered." "When I looked at him today, it occurred to me that no matter how much I fight I'm going to be in the same state that he's in today." "I'm very scared, Tarun" "I couldn't bear to see Rohit's state." "I couldn't..." "When I look at him, I get the feeling that I will soon be in the same condition as he is..." "I'm scared." "I don't want to fight anymore." "It's no good." "Whatever's left of life, let me make the best of it." "I'm not into baby-sitting." "If you've come to cry after losing the case I'm sorry, please go away." "Sir, please." "I've lost the case." "Has the case lost you, Tarun?" "You still have the option of appealing in the High Court" "The judge didn't hold Tamanna inefficient, did he?" "His order clearly says that Tamanna was not inefficient and that Tj knew the fact that she was HIV-positive." "You have proved what you had to, Tarun." "But the judge has also said that despite all this Tj has the right to throw Tamanna out" "If Tj hasn't done anything illegal Tamanna can't even claim a compensation." "Nor can she return to her job." "It hasn't to do with Tamanna alone, Tarun." "It has to do with many people like Tamanna for whose help there is just no law in this country." "Here's your chance to do something for such people." "And you...?" "'Those few moments my eyes cherish..." "Those few moments that agonise me with a broken dream as we fade away these moments, that turn away..." "Go, Tamanna." "Why spend all your time here?" "I'm happy." "To be with you." "Rubbish!" "Don't die with me Tamanna." "For as long as you live, you live." "And who could know that better than me?" "Hello." " Tamanna?" "Lal Sir, Tarun here." " Yes, Tarun?" "A hearing of Tamanna's case is coming up in the High Court today." "I'm speaking from the hospital, Tamanna." "Rohit's condition has worsened." "I'm coming." "Give me a call after the hearing and tell me how it went." "Sure." " I'll wait for your call." "All right, sir." "All the best." " Thank you." "You're leaving me...?" "No..." "Honorable judges!" "The only identity Tamanna Sahni has today is that of being HIV positive." "And this identity, we have given her by snatching from her the image she was known for." "Hers was the image of a dedicated and sincere girl... . who worked through the days and the nights." "A girl who won several prestigious awards in advertisement." "And what did her boss do as soon as he got to know that she was HIV positive?" "He did what most people do." "He tried to keep Tamanna as far away from himself as was possible." "And why not...?" "That's exactly what I did to Tamanna too." "Why?" "Because I was scared." "I was scared because I was ignorant." "HIV is dangerous, HIV can be deadly but can it take away your life?" "Can it take away the right to live?" "If it does, why do we even talk about non-discrimination?" "But if HIV is only deadly, if it does not take away the right to live why do we want to distance people like Tamanna Sahni from ourselves?" "My client Tamanna Sahni is HIV positive." "And she knows that perhaps she will not be able to survive this disease." "But she wants to fight." "She wants to live." "So why are we stopping her?" "What right do we have to stop her?" "Her condition doesn't stop her from carrying out her duties to the best of her abilities." "And may I add that she's extremely capable." "We don't fire someone who falls sick in our office so why single out an HIV positive patient?" "We ought to accept them." "We mustn't make them feel scared and ostracized." "Why can't we let them be with us?" "Why can't we give them love and respect?" "Because unless we do that they will be scared, and they will hide from society." "They will conceal their ailment." "And HIV will continue to spread." "Tamanna Sahni is my friend." "And I'm extremely proud of her." "I'll stand by her come what may." "Today, I besiege you, the lawmakers of this land to do the same." "Stand by Tamanna." "Help her get back her life." "Because by doing so you not only help her but millions of people." "...infected by this disease." "And you help those very few thousands who fight everyday also very hard in order to stop this spread of this virus." "When the clouds gather it appears as if there's darkness everywhere." "But then, a gust of wind makes a beginning and blows a speck of the clouds away." "You begin to get a glimpse of the blue sky again and gradually, the skies are clear." "Hi!" "Oh God!" "Oh My God!" "Wow!" "Congrats!" "That's your gift." "What do you think?" "Tamanna Sahni." "New age businesswoman." "Yes." " Happy anniversary." "This is for you, Rohit." "I forgot to tell you." "Nisha's expecting." "Congrats!" " Going to become a daddy, already." "Hey, you." "Idiot." "I can't believe, I'm adjusting all this."
