"And it's easy to fall asleep on the train" "Make sure you don't, though" "If you do, someone's sure to steal your purse" "And there go four years' hard-earned savings!" "Mumbai's full of thieves, too" "I hear that they look just like gentlemen" "God gave you eyes" "Keep them open all the time!" "Enough, Malan, stop!" "I'm afraid as it is and you're scaring me even more!" "I've bought my tickets" "I'll be careful with my purse and I'll be back tonight" "Now enough, Malan, please!" "'What are they doing?"

"How did you know?" "It shows on your face" "Are you here on work?" "No..." "Then?" "Here is my move." " What a silly move." "What a stupid move, Nisha, darling." " Checkmate." "Move the horse instead of the bishop." "Really." "Give him one." "Easy." " Let's play another game." "Isn't it Darya's birthday today?" "You remembered?" "You always remember, eh, Gangoo?" "Mother, how do I look?" "Wow!" "Beautiful." "How do I look?" "Now, even you like it, right?" "I told you it will look nice." "Very pretty." "You liked it, isn't it?" "Lord..." "How lovely!" "How beautiful!" "Isn't it?" "I had a time convincing her dad!" "Well, it does cost a bomb!" "But it's an heirloom!" "Darya will pass it on to her children later" "It's an original Ardra creation!" "That's why I paid 45,000 rupees for it!" "45,000!" "Here, Gangoo, throw these away, please" "Come on, children, let's go." "Okay, darling." "I will see you tonight." "I love you." "Bye, bye."

"Where will you wear such an expensive saree to?" "Who will you show it off to?" "Or... are you planning to marry again at this age?" "You're not having an affair, are you, Gangoobai?" "Who is it?" "Who?" "No-one!" "Just me, Malan" " and I want it!" "But where will you get 45,000 rupees for a single saree, Gangoobai?" "That's the thing..." "Oh gosh!" "What's... going on in my head." "Enough."

"They come here to play" "Business they do in Mumbai" "You think you know better than me?" "You think I don't know?" "Have you ever been to Mumbai?" "I've lived there three whole years" "I know all about it ...what happens there and how it happens..." "Get back to work!" "Betting!" "Gangoobai, surely somebody has cast a spell on you!"

"And if you don't?" "Zero." "Zilch!" "Why wouldn't I win?" "My heart says will!" "Hurry, Malan!" "Number one, Salman..." "How much will you bet, Gangoo?" "500?" "What's the point in betting 500?"

"I need cash, Daksha." "None of your fancy clients are paying their bills" "This can't continue" "Waman, the problem is..." "We don't choose our clients" "They choose us" "Sure you won't come in?" "I will see you later." "Okay." "Don't be late." "Please use some discretion" "Why don't you tell Rohan this?" "I have a show in a few hours" "There's so much work..." "Daksha, this is work, too" "Monisha!" "Yes, Daksha." "Where were you?" "It's Mumbai." "The traffic was brutal, Daksha" "Are you new to Mumbai?" "You don't know the traffic?" "You know, Daksha, I..." " Can we get the makeup started please?" "Thank you, sweetie." "Have you come for the clothes?" "Yes" "Maan!" "Maan, there is someone here for the collection!" "What's your memsaab's name?" "What?" "No, no!" "Where's the shop?" "What shop?" "The gara saree shop..." "I've come from Matheran to buy a saree for myself" "I've got to return by evening" "So where's the shop?" "You've come to the wrong place, bai" "This isn't a shop" "This isn't the gara saree shop?" "What is it, then?" "This is... a special kind of place" "We make special clothes for special people" "Only they can see them" "Special people?" "So..." "I can't see them?" "No" "Why not?" "Because I'm a servant?" "And I can't speak English like you?" "Bai..." "And don't think that I don't have the money" "See here!" "Sorry, but- we really don't have space this evening" "Do you big city people have no hearts?" "Have you never wanted something so badly that you could cry?" "Have you never lain awake at night wanting something because may be you could never have it?" "Look at my hands" "I've toiled and starved to save this money for four years!" "And I've come this far" "But now you're telling me that I can't get my heart's desire" "Why not?" "Who told you about us?" "My Hodiwala memsaab in Matheran" "One minute" "What's your name?" "Gangoobai." "Gangoobai, sorry" "We really have no space but if you come back at 6 o'clock" "I'll see what I can do, okay?" "Sorry." "Be careful, sir." "This one?" "Do you like it?" "Hi." "You should be careful about the money." "Come on, pal." "Madam, be quick." "Don't just giggle at my jokes" "Come in, Gangoo" "I've arranged a seat for you" "Okay" "Would you try these on?" "For size?" "Should I wear them?" "Okay" "They're nice" "Come, let's go" "I'll return them" " No, no, they're for you" "How are you?" " Hello." "How are you?" "The last year's collection was fab." "You'll be able to see everything from here" "Tell me which one you like after the show, okay?" "That flower..." "You're fond of flowers too?" "Yes" "Are you shopping for you daughter?" "No, she died very young..." "My husband, too..." "I come here sometimes" "Beauty refreshes me" "Me too" "That's why I've come to buy a gara saree from Ardra all the way from Matheran for myself" "Gara saree?" "Excellent idea!" "It's taken me four years to get here" "How come?" "I was saving up, sir" "What a nice smell!" "Yes, Mrs. Tahiliani." "What do you mean by seating me next to the servant?" "I want her removed at once." "I have a friend coming later who will occupy her place." "Well, actually I am not sure if I have your friend here." "What I will do is I will just check." "No need to check." "I told you I want this seat." "Do as I say, at once." "Nice seat, thank you" "I am sorry." "Gangoobai has as much right to be here as anybody else." "You will hear about this." "I think it just might cost you your job." "I think not." "I'm proud to see that the true spirit of integrity and decency is not dead" "If you any problem" "I'll speak to Rohan myself" "You may go." "'Ladies and gentlemen... ' '... welcome to the Spring-Summer 2012 Collection... '" "It's begun!" " '... from the House of Ardra.'" "'We have for you... ' '... the most exquisite, exotic... ' '... exclusive embroidery... ' '... whose origins lie in 19th century.'" "'The House of Ardra has contemporized this traditional art... ' '... for the women of today.'" "Now that's a gara, sir!" "And now..." "The show stopper." "All that smoke?" "'The birds of paradise.'" "Wow!" "This is beautiful." "That's it!" "That's the one I want!" "That's it!" "'Ladies and gentlemen... ' '... please put your hands together for the man of the moment..." "Rohan.'" "Highly impressive." "'Thank you for joining us this evening.'" "'Its been a wonderful experience.'" "Okay sir, I'd better run or I'll miss my train" "Memsaab, that last one." "That's the one I like!" "Okay." "I would like to place an order for the show-stopper." "Certainly." "How would you like to pay?" "Cash or card?" "On account... as always." "I am so sorry, Mrs. Tahiliani." "Our policies have changed" "Payment on purchase." "There's already a considerable amount outstanding" "There must be some mistake." "I'll speak to Rohan" "Sure." "Actually, we already have a customer with ready cash" "So... she will be our first priority." "Who?" "Yes" "Mumbai can be a very small town if you make enemies of the wrong people." "Memsaab, how much for the black gara?" "50,000, Gangoo" "Thank God!" "I didn't know what I'd do if it was more than 50,000" "Thank god!" "I've got exactly 50,000" "Here, count it!" "No." "Not me." "I'll call someone" "Waman, can you come in for a minute please?" "Yes, Daksha." "We have a customer for the show-stopper." "And she's paying cash." "Hello... 50,000." "Give it to him." "Here, sir" "Count it" "One minute..." "Daksha..." "Move." "You've sold my saree to a servant?" "Who told you that?" "Mrs. Tahiliani?" "Yeah, of course, man." "And she is pissed!" "Suppose we lose her bloody business, then?" "What business, Rohan?" "If clients like Mrs. Tahiliani feel insulted, they should clear their bills" "9,50,000 rupees that's what she owes us." "We need to pay our suppliers, too" "I told Daksha not to entertain clients like her." "Yeah, but you should have checked with me first, mate." "You're siding with a servant against Mrs. Tahiliani?" "Who's this servant?" "Lord..." "There's such magic in your fingers!" "My heart stopped when I saw it" "I knew at once that this was it" "It's beautiful!" "Did you like it?" "It's my favorite too" "Would you like to try it on?" "Shall I?" "But - my train?" "Forget the train!" "Try it on" "Daksha, just get one of the girls to set her up." " Okay, Badi." "Badi." "Beautiful." "Very good." "Great, Gangoobai." "Turn around, please." "Turn around" " What?" " I am saying turn this way" "You know turn, turn." "Very good." "We'll make you a new blouse" "No, no, don't bother" "It doesn't matter" "Just put it in a bag for me" "Doesn't matter?" "There is no such thing in Ardra." "I'm a designer I have a reputation, madam!" "But I'll just take this, no?" "You can't take this anyway" "This will travel the world" "We'll have to make you a new one" "A new one?" "But that will take time" "And I have a train to catch, sir" "Sorry?" "She's from Matheran." "What train?" "I've come from Matheran to buy this gara" "You've come from Matheran?" "Yes" "That's cool." "So what's the hurry?" "Stay awhile" "How can I stay, sir?" "And I have no money left" "I paid everything I had I've none left" "Never mind the money." "Money is never the issue." "What's your name?" "Gangoobai." " Yes, Gangoobai." "Gangoobai, money is never the issue." "And as for a place to stay, you" "Wow." "Hey, Waman!" "Yes, sir?" "You live alone, right?" "Yes, I do" "So Gangoo can stay with you" "Me?" "Gangoobai, you can stay with Waman" "Rohan, I have some work here" "I'll leave the key with the guard" "Okay." "Bye." "Bye." "Hey, Monisha, darling." "Will you do me a favour?" " Yes, sir." "Can you drop Gangoobai please?" " Sure." "You made a good choice" "It's my favorite design too" "You looked so beautiful in it" "You're beautiful to begin with and in that gara saree you looked like a film star!" "Are you tired?" "It's been a long day" "Tell me something, Gangoobai" "Why did you want the gara so badly?" "A long time ago when I was just married" "I saw a saree in a shop" "It was really expensive" "My husband promised that he would buy it for the new year festival" "One night, he was very late getting home" "I fell asleep" "It was a very stormy night" "Very late someone began banging on my door" "My husband had met with an accident" "My husband died without ever really knowing joy" "I'll die the same way, one day" "But when I saw the gara saree I fell in love with it" "I thought to myself if my husband were alive what would he have done?" "I did what he would have done" "How long after your wedding?" "It hadn't even been a year" "One second" "Hi." "Hey, babes." " 'I was just about to call you.'" "Where are you?" "On my way, but the traffic's very heavy" "I know, it's late, but" "Rohan asked me to drop someone off" "So then when will you be here?" "'I might have to go out for dinner.'" "Okay, then I will see you after dinner." "Okay?" "Cool, bye." "There, that side" "Come in, Gangoobai the door's open" "What took you so long?" "Monisha..." "You are Waman from Accounts?" "Yes" "Oh, so Gangoo is staying with *you*?" "Yes" "Here?" "Will she be able to?" "Actually... the maid didn't come today" "That's why..." "Don't worry" "It's okay I'll clean up" "Where's the broom?"

"What are you doing, Gangoobai?" "You're good at this" "Are you from Mumbai?" "No, from Bangalore" "I won a modeling contest and came to Mumbai" "It was my dream to become a model and come to Mumbai" "Really?" "So you've achieved your dream, then" "Yes, but dreams have their dark sides too, right?" "Yes" "So go back home" "How can I go back home?" "I like the work and I need the money, right, Gangoo?" "Yes, that's true" "Lets in the air..." "I'll just swab up" "Hi." "I thought you might be hungry" "Would you have dinner with me?" " Dinner with us?" "Waman, you are an angel." "I'm starving!" "Catch!" "Catch!" "I'll be back by 6 or 7 in the evening" "Will you be alright on your own till then?" "I'm used to it, sir, being on my own" "'Sir'?" "Don't call me 'Sir', Gangoobai" "Then?"

"My daughter's son" "The one who died" "So this is my garden" "What do you think?" "It's nice, but there isn't a single flower" "How could you make a garden like this " "I mean - there's a pond but - there's no fish" "There are so many trees... but not a single bird" "Birds don't come where there's too much pruning, sir" "They like freedom, don't they?" " Freedom?" "Freedom without discipline is anarchy!" "It will all turn into a jungle" "Yes, but whether garden or jungle, plants know" "Where the sun is" "They grow in that direction" "Our job is to water them" "And everything needs water" "Some need less..." "Some need more..." "I have 10 minutes' work here then we'll go to the theatre." "Okay, Gangoobai?" "Is Monisha coming?" "She'll meet us in the evening" "Alright." " She's a little busy now" "Hey, Rohan?" "Why are you so upset?" "Huge problem." "We have to give Simone this shawl tonight" "Badi and Choti are missing without notice" " Really?" "Their phone's out of range, too" "So can't you do it tomorrow?" "No." "You know Simone" "She's flying out tonight" "And it's my reputation, boss" "OK, I'll call another embroiderer from Daksha's list, okay?" "Hey, that will be a huge favour, pal." "Thanks." "Rohan sir... can I help you finish it?" "No, Gangoobai, but this is very complicated embroidery" "Yes, but can't we try?" "If I'm no good, I won't do it" "Alright." "Alright, I'll tell you what" "You start from there" "I'll start from here" " Okay" "Here, sit, sit" "Oh gosh!" "When will Gangoo be here?" "In about half an hour, I think" "Hi, Monisha." "One photograph please." " No." "If this photo's published, Khushru will throw a fit" "Why?" "Isn't it part of your job, to be photographed?" "He doesn't understand" "He doesn't like me working" "It's not going to get done" "Damn the girls for taking the day off" "It's almost done" "There's just a little bit left" "That's true." "Are you ready to order, sir?" "Actually, we're waiting for someone So if you could come back in 10 minutes" "Okay" " Thank you." "You know, we're fighting a lot" "Fighting?" "Us?" "Not you and me, silly" "Khushru and me" "Yes." " Waman..." "It's gotten worse lately" "But we are a good match, you know." "I know this is personal but it seems to me that you should marry a man who who won't kill your talent and potential" "Oh?" "You've become An expert on relationships!" "Are you speaking from experience?" "No, no" "God, Rohan, this is amazing." "Can you pack it, please?" "Okay." "Here you are." " Thank you." "And this is from me" "Lovely." "Bye."

"Not bad, sir" "I heard that" "Ardra is in trouble?" "Yes, sir" "There's some trouble" "With payments" "The gara is a Parsee tradition" "I could help to keep it alive" "Sorry?"

"This is Monisha." "Hi." " Nice to meet you." "Pleasure." "Grandfather..." "I thought you'd be alone" "Unfortunately not." "But the decision I've made about your future" "Was inspired by" "Gangoobai" "What decision?" "That..." "Western Australia one?" "Grandfather..." "I'm not going there." "That's final." "But why?" "Why not?" "What do you mean why?" "We've had this discussion so many times, Grandfather." "Think about it." "You will be taking over the business and you will be the head of the company." "Grandfather, I don't know the business." "My whole life is here!" "My friends, my work" "They're all here!" "Try to understand, son" "This kind of responsibility will make you a man." "I am a man." "I'm getting married!" "Monisha and I are getting married" "Anyway, we are leaving." "We have some friends waiting." "What?" "Where?" "Taj." "Let's go" "Nice to meet you, sir." "Bye, Gangoo." " Yes."

"You're in love with Monisha, aren't you?" "In love?" "Not at all" "Yes, I am, but..." " Taxi!" "Don't weigh the pros and cons" "If you let this moment pass you'll lose Monisha" "Let's go!" " Where?" "Where have those two gone?" "To the Taj" "Come" " But Gangoobai" "Hurry!" "He wants to send me to Western Australia!" "What's he thinking?" "And who is he" "To decide the course of my life?" "And you?" "Who are you, Khushru?" "What do you mean?" "What are you doing?" "How did you decide that we're getting married?" "What do you mean?" "Don't you want to marry me?" "Monisha..." "Your problem was" "You felt that I wasn't serious about you" "But today, I want to marry you" "So what's the problem?" "Don't treat me like a kid" "I hate it." "They belong together, Gangoobai" "They're from the same society" "Rubbish!" "Relationships are based on love" "They're getting married" "I don't want to just get married" "I want a career, too" "You neither listen to me, nor understand me." "Okay, I am sorry." "I'm sorry if you feel that I don't listen to you." "But, babes, I love you." "What does that mean?" "Do you respect me?" "Do you respect my work?" "It's not like that" "Didn't you see her eyes?" "She doesn't want this marriage" "But she doesn't have the courage to say no" "She wants the strength of another's love..." "Whose?" "What do you mean, whose?" "Don't you love her?" "Don't you?" "Yes" "You want to spend your life with her?" "Yes" "So then?" "Hurry, please, driver" "I took you home" "Introduced you to Dadu," "Told him that I want to marry you" "Was that serious Khushru?" "Have you asked me yet?" "Driver, stop the car" "Here's the Taj" "Look!" "There they go" "Come out" "What do you mean?" " Come." "There they are" "Where?" " There, see?" "Stop the cab!" "Marry me, Monisha." "Monisha..." "Monisha..." "Monisha..." "I am so sorry, Khushru." "Here's the ladies' compartment" "'This is a 12.45 fast local to Karjat.'" "I'll keep the saree here" " Okay" "Get off now, both of you" "'Don't try to board a moving train.'" "Take care of yourself" "I'd better sit" "You leave" "'Keep your tickets and passes ready for checking.'" "Go!" " Bye." " Bye, Gangoo." "Hey Gangoobai!" "Where were you all this while?" "What's the matter, memsaab?" "What happened?" "Why are you crying?" "Tell me, maybe I can help" "How can you help, old woman?" "!" "Where were you for so long?" "Do you know what a problem you created?" "My luck's just terrible!" "With great difficulty, I met a producer" "Do you know how many hit films he's made?" "Seven!" "And he's invited me to a party tonight" "So?" "What's to cry about?" "You should be happy!" "You're an idiot!" "You don't know anything!" "How will I go?" "He's casting for his new film" "The main role is of a traditional girl" "But my luck?" "It's shot to hell!" "I had just one saree..." "And it got burnt while I was ironing it today!" "So what?" "You can have my gara saree!" "What did you say?" "I'll wear your clothes to a party?" "That's the last straw!" "At least see it, memsaab." "It's a gara saree from Ardra" "This is what I went to Mumbai for" "See?" "Cool." "Its beautiful." "Can I borrow it?" "Just for tonight?" "Of course" "That's what I was saying" "Perfect." "Now let's see how the role goes to somebody else!" "Malan!" "Oh, Malan!" "Gangoobai..." "Where have you been?" "Malan..." "Where have I been?" "I've grown thin worrying about you!" "What happened?" "What took so long?" "Is everything alright?" "Yes, yes" "And where is your gara saree?" "Oof, so many questions?" "You have so many questions!" "You look tired." "Sit down" "I'll go and lie down" "I just came to say I'm okay" "Shall I go in?" " Yes, go." "Rest" "But at least show me your gara saree first!" "I'll show it to you tomorrow" "And I'll tell you the whole story, too, okay?" "Okay" "Oh gosh!" "What a mess..." "Gangoo..." "Your gara was such a hit!" "A hit!" "Everybody was stunned" "I've never received as many compliments in my life as I did last night" "And the role..." "I got it!" "The producer's coming today to sign my contract" "I can't tell you how happy I am!" "Thank you." "Thank you, Gangoobai." "Thank you." "Wha" "Oh, God." "How did this happen?" "I came home last night" "And made myself a drink" "I hadn't smoked for a while" "So I lit a cigarette" "But" " I was really tired..." "All the singing and dancing" "So I took off the gara..." "I stubbed out the cigarette in the ashtray" "And then I went to sleep..." "I am sorry, Gangoobai." "It's a huge loss for you" "I am sorry." "How much was the gara for?" "How much?" "Never mind, memsaab." "It is a great loss" "But you got the role" "I am sorry, Gangoobai." "It doesn't matter" "Money is all it was..." "Forget it, memsaab." "Why should you cry over money?" "Lady..." "Stop crying" "Stop crying" "Nothing's happened" "Nothing..." "I am so sorry." "Gangoo auntie..." "The new owners of the house on the hill have called for you" "Called for me?" "Why?" "How would I know?" "Ask them" "Memsaab" "Gangoobai..." "You called for me?" "Gangoo..." " Oh my lord..." "Oh my lord..." "It's you?" "Sir?" "No, no" " Waman!" "Surprised, Gangoo?" " You too!" "How are you?" " Very good." "So the two of you have come to stay here!" "Have you bought this house?" "Really?" "You know, Gangoo," "Waman's the boss at Ardra now" "Jamshyd sir invested in it" "See, only Monisha's photo's everywhere" "You can see the garden, too" "Don't you worry" "I'll look after the house" "I'd do the gardening, too but the garden's too big so you could hire a gardener" "I know the perfect one" "As you please, Gangoobai..." "Gangoo, this is Ashabai, Asha, meet Gangoo" "Remember, I told you about her?" "I'll sweep downstairs" "There's one more room left" "Come, let's go up" "Gangoobai..." "Come, come" "Look at this last room" "Very nice..." "Do you like it, Gangoo" "It's very nice, really" "Look at it..." "Gangoo, this room is for you" "For me?" "We'd like you to live with us now like you did in Mumbai?" "You will, won't you..." "Gangoo auntie?" "Lord..." "I never dreamed that you would show me so much love... but, to tell the truth, the house I live in has such a view..." "I could never live anywhere else" "We knew you'd say that" "That's why... this room... is for you..." "Can I steal her for a moment?" " Yeah, do that." "I'd like you to meet someone" "So many gifts, Gangoobai!" "Daksha gave me this" "Rohan Sir!" " Ah, Gangoobai!" "Do you like the saree?" " 'Yes, sir.'" "It's beautiful!" "Isn't it?" "Did you make it yourself?" " Of course!" "With my own two hands!" "Gangoobai..." "Sir!" "These are for you" " Thank you" "In honor of life's small pleasures" "Here, I'll put them away" "How are you, sir?" " I'm well" "And Khushru baba..." "How is he?" "He's in Western Australia," "As I wanted" "That's good, isn't it?" "Yes, and he's happy, too" "How did you manage that?" "A wise woman once told me that plants know where the sun is" "And they grow in that direction" "Our job is simply to water them some less, some more..."
