" She's a girl lt takes time for them to get ready" ""l know I don't stand a chance, Priya"" ""But I don't want to say lf only all my life"" ""l tried to make you see reason, Raj..." " l see reason, Priya. I see it"" "But my heart won't" ""A stranger in an alien land understands my feelings..."" ""but the one who must understand, won't understand"" ""Priya, I have decided." " What?"" ""After our marriage, I'll cook one meal for us"" "I'll look after the kids too" ""Remember, there will be someone happy somewhere in the world..."" "because you are happy" ""Papa, I have something to tell you"" ""What is happening, grandma?"" "Why have you to think so much?" ""You're not going to do as she says, will you?"" "Priya's marrying Sameer and Sameer alone" ""Auntie, Priya won't be happy with the marriage"" "And I understand that pretty well." " But Sameer..." ""No, I don't want our marriage to be based on a compromise"" ""Sameer, I came here for the engagement"" "But how was I to know that all this would happen on the way?" ""l understand, Priya." " You understand nothing, Sameer"" "And why are you quiet?" "You are the bride's father" "Say something" ""My child, are you sure he's a nice boy and that he'll keep you happy?"" "Yes." " Why don't you meet him?" "What's gotten into all of you?" "You even want to meet him now?" "What's wrong in meeting him?" " He must be in the plane by now." "He left four hours ago" ""No, aunt." "He mustn't have gone away"" ""Papa, if I know him well, he must still be waiting for me"" "May I and stop Raj?" "Please?" ""Yours must be the first step in our house, Priya"" "What happened?" " One second I'll go in for a while" "Something important to do..." "I'll be back soon" ""Don't worry. I'll take you in." "I've married you, after all"" "One minute" ""l'm coming in, Raj." " Wait..."" "Let no one say that we didn't complete the rituals" ""lt's actually meant to be done by my mother, but right now..."" "Red ink" "Let me do it" "This is also meant to be done by someone elderly..." ""but since I'm doing everything, this one too..."" "Now for this ritual." "I don't know who performs it... but it's performed all right." "I know that" "May I come over?" " Please" "But mind your step." "Don't slip on the talcum powder" ""Priya, this is our house"" "It's nice" ""You're already up, Raj?"" "I didn't go to sleep all night" "And I never got better sleep than this" ""What are you wearing, Raj?" " This is Allah Mian"" "Allah Mian?" " God" "You know Salim?" "His mother gave it to me" ""Know what?" "Whatever I ask Him for, He gives it to me"" "Like you. I have you" ""You always carry Him with you?" " Yes, He's always with me"" "I feel incomplete without Him" "Won't you even give Him to me?" "One moment" ""God, if something ever happens to me..."" "if I'm no more... do look after my Priya" "Because even she doesn't know how much I love her I love Priya very very much" "We'll always remain together Raj" "I didn't find a love story like this even in fairytales" ""Sorry guys, I'm late." "I'm sick of this traffic"" ""l told you, you're never on time." "And they..."" ""Salim, this is my fiancee Sheetal"" ""This is Salim and that is his wife, Farah"" "We got stuck in the traffic..." " l told him" ""No, it isn't about that." "Actually, while waiting for you..."" "I heard a wonderful love story." " Which one?" "Raj and Priya's love-story" "I'd like to meet Raj and Priya some day" "Oh certainly" ""You're very lucky, Sheetal." " How come?"" "Because today is the first wedding anniversary of Raj and Priya!" "It's their surprise party we're going to today" "Sonofagun!" "Couldn't you tell me that over the phone?" ""lf l told you, the surprise wouldn't be a surprise anymore"" ""Let's go, we're getting late." " But where is the party?"" "On the terrace of their building." "C'mon" ""Come, come..."" ""Manubhai, why have you brought us here?" " Don't ask, just see what I've done"" "Now look..." " What will I look at in the darkness?" "What's here anyway?" ""l'm Sheetal, Deepak's fiance!"" ""When they told me about your love story, I couldn't believe..."" "that someone could have a romance like yours in our times!" ""Manubhai, this surprise party is great fun!"" ""Quiet, quiet!"" ""For two hours, this is what we were talking about..."" ""and you want to fight even here!" " Not me, Raj." "You want to fight"" "Priya!" "You've changed so much in the past one year" "You are the one who has changed?" " Have I?" "You're fighting with me on our first wedding anniversary... and you say I've changed?" " Do you think I like fighting... with you on our first anniversary?" "But you're not the man I got married to!" "You married the wrong man!" "Just leave me then!" "At least sweeten each other's tongue first" "Your turn." "Come on!" "Looks like the lady isn't in a nice mood this morning" "You were even late in coming." "is everything all right?" "I didn't sleep well last night." " No?" "That's nice" "Were you thinking about me?" " No I was thinking what a huge nuisance marriage is" "What does it mean?" " Problem if you marry... problem if you don't." " What makes you say that?" "Look at Raj and Priya. lt was supposed to be a great love affair" ""But what happened?" " Yes, what happened?"" "Hold on... are you talking about last night?" "Every man and wife have their share of problems" "That doesn't mean they aren't happy with each other I know Raj." "He loves Priya very much" "Loving your wife doesn't make you a very nice husband" ""Really?" "The way you talk, it seems as if you've done a Phd on marriages"" "What?" " You haven't said this..." ""to anyone else, have you?" " No"" "And please don't!" "People will laugh at you" "Raj and Priya love each other very much" "Raj is always late." "He knows Priya doesn't like it at all" "Your son-in-law hasn't arrived yet?" " What can I do?" "I asked him before holding a ritual for their peaceful future" "But the boys nowadays...!" " Praise the Lord!" "His phone's not working" "See your friend?" "He's still missing" ""He's late, but I'm sure he'll come"" ""My child, the ritual is over and your husband hasn't arrived?"" "He has already left the office." "He should be here any moment lt was necessary for both of you to be present at this ritual" "The auspicious hour has passed already" "We can't wait anymore" "All right." "You may do as you think fit" "We will now pray to God to bless you both" "This spinach looks delicious." "And the chickpeas smell great" "Nobody makes chickpea like you do... enough" "Sit ... down" ""How will this do, Priya?" "I've said sorry, sought forgiveness"" "It's all over..." "at least talk to me now" "How will it do if you don't talk?" ""All right. lf you're not eating with me, I'm not eating too"" ""Priya, talk to me!" "I told you, I made a mistake. I'm sorry!"" ""You say sorry, but how about the ritual aunt Anna held for us?"" "Do you realise how insulted I felt?" "I was coming any way." "But Mr Malhotra showed up" "And you know how important Mr Malhotra is for our business I know how important your business is!" "Where was your business when you followed me all the way to Greece?" "It had to do with love then." " With love?" "So where is your love now?" " But we're already married" ""What does that mean, Raj?"" "Just that one marries the one he loves" ""And love is always there, or why would the marriage be?"" ""l mean, love goes in a bit of a background after marriage..."" ""You're in love, I'm in love..." "we're loved ones"" "Shit!" "What am I saying!" ""Priya, listen to me." "That wasn't what I meant to say"" "I was confused" ""What I meant to say is that after marriage, one becomes responsible"" "So you say you're responsible?" " Hundred per cent responsible!" ""You're hundred per cent responsible, right?"" ""This is your shirt, isn't it?" "But you took it off and kept it on the sofa"" ""lf you wished, you could also keep it with the laundry, couldn't you?"" "But you won't." "And your shoes always..." "Which shoes?" ""What ?" " You just picked them up, didn't you?"" ""You just picked them up, didn't you?" " All right, but I picked them up"" "Why wouldn't you do it earlier?" ""All right, I won't smile!" "But let's decide what you're complaining about!"" ""That I'm late, I didn't get to the temple, my shoes, my smile...?"" "What is it that you complain about?" " l complain about everything you do!" ""Everything?" " There's a way of living together, Raj"" "Now hold on!" "You're going to teach me to live together?" "The large-hearted one..." "Shut up!" "What silly song is that!" "We're have a fight going here!" "I'm no kid for you to..." "Shut up!" ""So stop lecturing me, please"" ""lt's not wrong to point someone's mistakes, Raj"" "Mistakes...?" ""You say mistakes, Priya." "But it's not always my mistake"" "You make mistakes several times and I still say sorry" "So you're saying you're perfect?" " Did I say that...?" ""l'm not perfect, Priya." "You..." "you think Nandu's perfect?"" "He's not." "None of us is perfect I come back home after a hard day's work... I feel like sitting down and chatting with you... or the two of us having a cup of coffee in the balcony" "You want romance?" "And chat with me?" "With the tv on ?" ""l switched on the tv because..." " That's your daily routine, Raj"" "You come home every day and sit down before the tv I too want you to talk to me when you come back home" "But you'll never understand... I've switched off the tv." "So let's talk." "Please." "Come on" "What did you do in the office today?" " Let's not talk about the office" "Because I'm sick of office-talk while I'm in the office" ""When I come back home, I feel like talking about something else"" "But you talk of nothing else Raj." "You begin to watch tv!" ""But I only catch up with the news!" " News, Cricket match and...!"" ""You're right and I'm wrong, okay?" " No, you're not wrong"" ""l'm wrong!" "And I'm sorry!" " Please, Raj!" "Stop saying sorry"" "And I'm not going to forget today's insult ever" "What insult?" "And I can't even say sorry!" "I want to sleep." " So sleep" "Have your food and switch off the lights" "Why must I eat?" "You took away my plate!" "And the lights...?" "Why must you have everything your way?" "The lights are not being switched off!" "Let me see who switches them off!" " All right." "Let the lights remain" ""Milkman, can't you come a bit early?"" "My husband's been pestering me for tea all morning!" ""But I can come only when the Buffalo starts milking, right?"" "You have a new excuse every day." "If you don't come on time tomorrow... I'll stop your supply and take milk from the dairy instead" "You get that?" " All right" "Milk for 2 rupees" ""Nandu, have you given up booze and started drinking milk instead?"" "Not for me. lt's for Moti." "Can't you see how skinny he's become?" "Smell him" "He's in bad shape." "He needs calcium" ""Your juice, Raj"" "Breakfast is lying on the table." "Have it before you leave" "There's no saying when you'll have lunch anyway" ""l just scrubbed the floor, Raj." "What are you doing?"" "What?" " You've wet the pillow lt's my pillow." "I use it" "And... all right" "is it okay now?" ""What's that now?" " You'll wet the bedsheet, Raj"" "What arguments do we get caught up in every morning?" ""l haven't started the argument, Raj." " The way you..."" "how will I do any work at the office in this mood?" "Your mood gets spoilt every now and then" ""But naturally, Priya!" "It's because of what you say!"" "You tell me how to go about every little thing" ""This isn't right." "Don't keep the shoe here, someone might trip"" "Must I keep the shoes on my head?" "How's anyone going to trip on shoes?" "Do you fall over this ironing board which is lying here?" "Do you fall over the bed?" "But you'll trip over the shoes" ""You're always picking on my shoes!" " What wrong have I said, Raj?"" ""l just want some cleanliness to be maintained, isn't it?"" ""What's wrong if our house is clean?" " lt's wrong, very wrong!"" "I like to have my room littered" ""l want one of my shoes to lie here, and one to lie there"" "I want to see who trips over them!" "It's because I'm illiterate!" "I'm a bloody bum!" ""l like to have my pillow at my feet, not my head"" "And these blankets mustn't be on the bed when I'm about to sleep" ""And this towel, wherever I take it off is the right place"" ""l agree, I don't know how to live." "I don't know it at all"" "Only you know it!" "And what can I do?" "I got married for the first time!" ""lt's my first marriage too, Raj"" "And throw away that bedsheet too" ""What are you doing, Priya?"" "People are watching!" ""Goodness!" "The signs you make..."" "they make me crazy about you" "What secrets are you exposing..." ""what are you telling me with your eyes?"" "You do wield all the magic" ""Goodness!" "The signs you make..."" "they make me crazy about you" ""You are the one who touches my heartstrings"" "Why would anyone meeting you... not lose her heart to you" ""Your lush body, casts a spell"" ""Your dense tresses exude a fragrance"" ""On my breath lingers a scent..."" ""because your eyes are going astray"" ""Your body is as beautiful as the rosegardens..."" ""the sight of it drives me out of my senses"" ""Goodness!" "The signs you make..."" ""An intoxication is taking over..."" "I'm barely in my senses I'm lost to myself too..." ""l awake but I feel as if I'm asleep"" ""Keep swaying, keep melting..."" "when you are in my arms" ""Goodness!" "The signs you make..."" "they make me crazy about you" ""You are the one who touches my heartstrings"" "Why would anyone meeting you... not lose her heart to you" ""Goodness!" "The signs you make..."" "they make me crazy about you" "What secrets are you exposing..." ""what are you telling me with your eyes?"" "You do wield all the magic" "Take care of this small car." "It might get lost" "Let me tell you again." "Whenever I go to your high society parties... it ruins my mood." "Like my small car here among big ones... I will also feel awkward..." "small and out of place" ""Not again, Raj!" "Sameer has invited us with such a lot of love"" ""l know, so you can go ahead. I'll go to Irfan's garage in the neighbourhood"" ""Give me a call when the party is over, I'll come and collect you"" ""Raj, does it look nice for me to go parties alone after my marriage?"" ""You're not alone, it's your family, your friends." "What would I do...?"" ""Okay, I'm going with you"" ""Wow!" "You look extra beautiful in that sari!" "What say, Raj?"" "You remember we went to Athens during our vacations?" ""Of course, I remember." "Know what, Raj?" "There was a lovely lake by the house"" "In which Sameer and I went boating all day" ""Remember, Sameer?" "We insisted with our parents that we wanted that very house?"" "I remember." "And I've fulfilled the condition" ""You mean, you...?" " l've bought the house"" "You must see that house." "It was beautiful" "Why don't you take Raj there for a holiday?" "It'll be a break even for you Raj" "You talk about this?" "How about the Versace suit you're wearing?" "The girl who marries you is going to be really lucky" "What are you guys playing the boring couple for?" ""Must I ask for permission?" "Please let me, sir!"" ""How's my suit?" " lt's nice, sir"" "I got it stitched during my wedding" ""How about my watch?" " lt's nice too, sir"" ""Ramji, tell me what price you're selling ladyfinger for"" "10 rupees for a quarter kilo." " You think we're industrialists?" "I hope you liked it Rustom Uncle?" " l loved it" ""Your biscuits were nice too, sister-in-law"" ""They were from my shop." " This is for you, Radha"" "Aunt!" "What a pleasant surprise!" ""Do come again, okay?" " Very well." "Good bye"" "Aunt!" ""Tell me what you'll have." "Tea, coffee...?"" "I don't want anything" "Do these people come even to your house?" "They hadn't seen me in a long time and came over... to ask about my well-being." "But tell me how you have been!" ""l'm all right." " Hello, sister-in-law"" "How many eggs?" " 6." "Keep them in the refrigerator" ""Be careful, don't break the eggs." " Very well, sister-in-law"" ""What's happening here, Priya?" "Vegetable sellers and egg sellers!"" "Are these the only people left in your life?" ""Hello, Lady." "Your clothes." " You got my sari, Ganpat?"" "Of course." " All right." "Keep it here I'll take it in later." " Very well." "Good bye" "Good bye" "Priya!" "You even know your laundryman's name?" ""Yes, aunt"" "What kind of a life are you leading?" "What have you come to?" "And I had such dreams for you" ""There's nothing of the sort, aunt." "I'm very happy here"" "I'm starting my work all over again and..." ""Raj is landing a new contract too." " What new contract, Priya"" ""l've been hearing that for ages!" "Anyway, I've made up my mind"" "I've brought you two tickets to Greece" "Go and have a holiday" ""But how can I accept it, aunt?" "I'm already married"" "Why can't you accept it?" "I'm like your mother" "And a mother can give her daughter anything and any amount she wants to" "You get that?" "It's her right" ""The large-hearted one will leave with the bride..."" ""Raj doesn't like my song and..." " No, Nandu." "Go ahead and sing"" "Can I ?" "Even in the night?" " You may sing all night" "So I'm going to sing for Raj tonight!" ""Raj, you sing so well too." "Join me in the nights"" ""l'm all alone." " Some other time, Nandu"" ""Tonight, I have a programme for romance"" "Really?" "You provide the background music and I'll get on with the romance" "is this Mr Raj Mathur's house?" ""Yes, but he's not in right now"" "What's the hurry?" "It's wonderful that Raj Mathur is not at home" "Let me shut the door..." " You?" "I'm your immediate neighbour." "The building opposite yours..." ""third floor, third window." " Oh yes, I've seen you"" "And I saw you watching" "Know what?" "I've been waiting for this opportunity for many days" "Frankly speaking... so was I" ""What do you mean by "so was I" ?" "What...?"" "I'll explain" "What are you doing?" " Taking advantage" "What advantage?" " He hasn't any time from his trucks" "Lay off!" "Doesn't he have to work and make money?" "Let him make money." "You come inside." " With a stranger..." ""What's all this, Priya?" "You're kidding, aren't you?"" "Mr Neighbour!" "I've never seen you in this light before" ""l'm very happy today, Raj." " Always be happy"" "But not with the neighbour I've got to give you 2 bits of good news" "Give me the second one first" ""Remember, I sent my designs to an Australian company?"" "They've approved" "And listen to the second good news" "Tickets for Greece." "Look" "Tickets for Greece?" "You've won a jackpot?" "Aunt Anna gifted it to us" "Aunt Anna?" ""Since we haven't been on a honeymoon, she asked us to visit Greece, Raj"" "What happened?" " Well... one second" "What happened?" " One second" ""Nothing." " What happened, Raj?" "Tell me"" ""Priya, if you don't mind, let me tell you something"" ""We'll surely go to Greece, but with our own money, okay?"" ""But this is our money too." " No, it isn't our money"" "It's Aunt Anna's money." " But aunt's like our mother too" ""No, Priya." "For you, she is." "Not for me"" "Why're you making a prestige issue out of this?" ""C'mon, Priya!" "It hasn't to do with prestige, honestly"" "So what is it?" " What is it?" "I'll tell you what it is I've always got the feeling that your folks... are not very happy with our marriage." "That's how I feel" "They probably think that if you had got married to Sameer... he could have given you everything that I haven't been able to" "And that's right too." "There's no question of prestige at all" ""Raj, I think you haven't been able to understand me at all"" "Did I ever say anything in this regard to you?" "No." " Did I ever complain?" "So why must you misunderstand?" " Don't raise your voice!" "You're the one who doesn't get it right" "You are the one they want to send away on a holiday" "You are the one they pity" "You are the one they want to see happy... not me or us" "They've got to tolerate me because I am unfortunately their son-in-law!" "I don't know why you take things to such limits!" "You think of things that make no sense!" "Makes no sense?" "For you it must be senseless" ""For me, it's a truth I feel every day..."" ""May we end this discussion here?" " Yes, please!"" "Are you going to sleep?" ""Trouble with Priya again?" " No, no trouble with Priya"" ""No, you do have trouble with her." " Okay, okay"" ""Last night, I had another argument with Priya." "Happy?"" "Happy my foot!" "Now listen to me" ""When we buy a new truck, we have a few problems initially, don't we?"" "What are you talking about?" " Hear me out first!" ""A new truck also stalls when it heats up, doesn't it?"" ""All right, it does." " So what do we do?"" "Don't we shut it down and start it again?" "So there's not much difference between a truck and marriage" "They ask for a bit of adjustment which you've got to make... and carry the story further." "Right?" " How does one take it further?" "Silly arguments!" "Are marriages and trucks like each other?" "Isn't it her fault too?" " Now get one thing clearly" ""Between man and wife, never try to find out who's right and who's wrong"" "Just say sorry and finish the matter there and then" "That's what I always do." " l'm prepared to say sorry too" ""l don't like fighting, I don't want to fight"" ""But the same rule applies to her also, doesn't it?"" ""Now look, now don't split hair." "I know the problems with you"" "What's my problem?" "What?" " Want me start counting?" ""l know, Manubhai." "There are problems with me too"" "That's exactly why I am asking you to take my advise" ""What am I to do, Manubhai?" " Go to Priya today..."" "like the perfect husband." "The ideal husband ideal?" " Like me ls it funny?" ""Priya, I got this gourd, ladyfinger, carrot..."" "and other stuff from the vendor." "And this one too I'll put all this in the refrigerator" "That is where it is kept I bought it all from the wholesale shop" "The vendor there took me for a fool" ""l asked him for the price of carrots and he says "30 rupees for a kilo"" ""l asked him to give it at 20 rupees, or I was leaving"" "He gave it to me at once" "How much would you buy it for?" " 10 rupees a kilo" "But this is fresh... and red" ""lf there are any chores to be done, just tell me"" "I'll wash these utensils." "I'm in the mood today I forgot to tell you about the office." "Manubhai came calling today" "He had a cup of tea and went his way" "Mohammadbhai also came calling." "He had a cup of tea and... he went his way too" "And then came Vivek." "He asked me for two trucks" ""l said I didn't have two trucks, they're away for servicing"" ""One had an axle broken, another's bonnet wouldn't open"" ""And I said, I couldn't give him the trucks"" "I asked him to have a cup of tea..." "and go his way" "He went his way too" "Everybody went his way at the office today" "Where do I keep these utensils?" " Keep it where you picked it up from" "But here..." " They're washed utensils I washed them" "So I washed them again!" "These big vessels get dirty very soon" "One must wash them as often as one can" "Look at this one..." "gleaming!" ""Raj, I know what you're trying to say." "But you needn't do all this"" "That you realise it is enough for me" ""Go and sit down." "Let me warm the food." " No, we're having carrot halwa"" "with our dinner tonight." "And I'm making it." "Can you?" " But I'll keep trying till you hug me" "And what's so great about carrot halwa?" "Grate a bit of carrot and..." "Does it hurt?" "Know what Priya?" "It isn't that finger... this is the one I nicked I've cut my finger." "Please give me a hug!" "How are you doing?" ""Manubhai, coming for a cup of tea?"" ""Good morning, my foot!" "Have you read the newspapers?"" "Why?" "Has news of your fight with your wife been printed in it?" "Look at this." "The company you worked for... has closed down overnight." "It has gone bust" "What are you talking about?" " Read it" ""Yes, Raj." "We're in serious trouble"" "The bankers called thrice." "They want to see you" "How will he be able to repay 2.5 million in a single week?" "I can't do anything about that" ""Mr Mathur, if the bank is not repaid its dues in a week..."" "we'll have to seize all your properties" ""Raj, where have you been all this while?"" "I've told you so often to telephone me if you're going to be late" "Your telephone in the office wasn't reachable I spoke to Vivek and Deepak." "Even they didn't know where you were" ""You know how worried I get for you, Raj"" "What is the matter?" ""What is it, Raj?"" "Tell me what happened" "The company we have most of our business dealings with... has gone bankrupt." "With that goes the money they owed us" "You mean...?" "I have bank loans and other debts to repay... I don't know what to do" "Don't be upset." "Come and eat something first." "Come on" "No" "Do you want me to have a word with Papa?" ""No, Priya"" "Every decision I have taken in life has been my very own I never sought any help" ""And from this difficult situation, we will have to find our way out"" ""Don't lose hope, Raj." "The two of us will think of a way"" ""You have your Friend with you." "You have faith in Him, don't you?"" "He will help us" "I expected business from your company and took an extra loan..." ""for two trucks, sir..." " You're getting so worked up..."" "as if it's not my company but yours that has sunk" ""Actually, sir, there is lot of money your company owes me"" ""No, no... the company owes you nothing"" ""lt "owed" you money." "Past tense." "Because the company is no more"" ""But I did my work with all honesty, sir..."" "Why did you?" "Did I ask you to be honest?" "Look at me!" "My company has sunk!" "But have I sunk?" "No" "Learn something" ""l'm no match for you, sir." "All I want..."" "Now don't bother me. I'm going away to Europe for two months I'm very tired." "I want to relax" ""But yes, I'm thinking of starting a new company after I return"" "You can meet me then." "I'll do something for you" ""ln the meantime, you can take a holiday too"" "Where do you folks go?" "What do you call that place...?" ""Khandala...?" "Go to Khandala." " Thank you, sir..."" "but I don't want to go anywhere." "It's just that by the time you return... the time the bank has given me will be over" "You're ruining my time and my mood now" "There are many people like you who are upset at the company going bust" "And I haven't started a charity to distribute alms to everyone coming here!" ""l'm not asking for alms, sir." "I'm asking for my rights"" "Rights?" "You don't ask for rights!" "You only ask for alms" ""lf you want your rights, go to the courts"" ""Raj, have this coffee." "And change your clothes quickly"" ""What is the matter, Raj?"" ""What happened, Raj?"" "I..." "I just felt like crying" ""Nothing's working, Manubhai." "I've tried everything"" "We'll have to sell the trucks" "Everything's going to go away." " No way I'll telephone Jignesh right away." " Why keep calling Jignesh!" "How many people will you talk to?" "You spoke to ..." "Saeed earlier" "Did he give you any money?" "Nobody's going to" "You've given me so much already." "This chap is cancelling his wedding" ""Everybody's trying his best, but nothing's happening." "Nothing"" ""Look, have patience." "Ups and downs are part of business." "Right?"" ""Oh yes, don't lose hope, Raj." "We'll find a way out"" "What way will we find...?" "What?" "Someone else's company closes down and the bank holds me by the throat!" "Let me try" "There's another notice from the bank." " What new notice is this?" ""lt says, you've got to 3.5 million, not 2.5"" "3.5 million?" "How come?" "I've settled it at 2.5 with the bank!" ""Look at how the bankers are behaving, Manubhai"" "I had a clear understanding with them that..." "This is a cheque." "For 2.5 million lt's yours." " Ours" "Don't worry. I haven't taken it from Papa. I swear" "Remember my assignment from the Australian company?" "It has been approved." "And this is the advance" ""But who'd give 2.5 as an advance...?" " Big folks, big business"" "They have hefty advances too." "They aren't beggars like us" "You can have the money." "I'll manage on credit" ""What a narrow escape!" "Else, we'd have lost this office too..."" "and we'd sit under the staircase with our accounts" ""Manubhai, don't drink too much." " This is my first drink!"" "This is the photograph Raj had torn up in a fit of emotions" "Why're you roaming around with the photo?" "I've had to work so hard for Priya..." "and the photo's damaged anyway" ""What are you upto, Raj?" "What will Priya think?"" "It's Priya I'm doing it too." " l see." "Go ahead" ""Know what, Manubhai?" "I'll telephone Sameer and call him over"" ""All right... who's that?" " Her friend from Europe, remember?"" ""No, he'll find it odd here!" " He'll talk to her..."" ""and she'll be happy." "Else, we keep talking only about the garage"" ""Sameer, this is Raj here." "Where are you?"" "You're so close to our house!" "Come over" ""We're having a party, a small get-together..."" "come over." "Priya's here too" "Talk to her" "It's Sameer. I've called him over" ""No, it's a small get-together." " One moment"" ""Sameer, Priya's busy for a second"" ""Yes, Sameer." "Talk to her"" "Raj insists that you must come" ""And listen, I'm talking to you from another room now"" "Don't even make the mistake of telling Raj... that you're the one I took the money from" ""lt should remain between you and me, Sameer"" "Raj mustn't get to know" "I've been talking to Sameer" ""ls there anything you want, Raj?"" "No" "So Sameer was the one who gave you the money?" "Just tell me whether Sameer gave you the money or not" ""Raj, I..." " Yes, or no!"" "Yes" "Why did you take the money from Sameer?" " Raj..." "Why did you take it from Sameer?" " Talk softly" "We have guests at home." "We'll end up having a drama..." "But we're already part of a drama!" "You're worried about the guests?" "I'll show you what a drama is!" "Thanks for coming to the party." "Shut that music!" "Go home." "This moment!" "I'm not kidding!" "Go away!" " lt's only 10" "The party at my house is over at 10." "Get going!" "What's gotten into you?" " l'm sorry" ""Before I get nastier, go away." " All right"" ""The drama is over, okay?"" ""Now tell me, why did you take the money from Sameer?"" ""You had a bank loan to repay..." "you were so upset, Raj"" "And so you took the money from Sameer?" ""You didn't sleep all nights, Raj."" "Now I won't sleep all my life!" "You took money from Sameer!" "What would be the worst thing to happen?" "What?" ""Our business would have wound up, this house would have been sold..."" "and we'd have been out on the streets." "But there are millions on the streets!" ""Their life is a struggle, but they have faith in each other"" ""They trust each other." " l tried everywhere, Raj"" "I even spoke to the export company" ""But when they didn't give me any money, I asked Sameer..."" "I didn't take a penny from my own father!" ""l didn't borrow from my relatives, not even from your father!"" "And you went and begged Sameer?" "What will he think?" "That it's because of his favours that I'm so happy and delighted!" ""lt's no favour, Raj." "It's business"" ""l've got to make garments for him, Raj." "I've only taken an advance"" "Are you going to teach me business now?" "Does anyone give such a big advance?" "And you know why he gave the advance!" ""You know it and I know it, you will not say it..."" "But I'll tell you!" "He gave you the advance... because he's still in love with you." " Raj!" "And you know that he's in love with you!" "Which is why he gave the money" "You know he loves you and gave you the money" "Does anyone give such a huge advance just like that?" ""Priya, Sameer's here." "Welcome, Sameer"" "You're the one we were waiting for." "We were talking about you lt's your house..." "he has brought you flowers!" ""Sorry, I've broken all the bottles." " What is the matter, Priya?"" "I'll tell you what the matter is" "The truth is that the two of you have made a fool out of me" "All I want to know is why you did it?" ""lt's between you and me, Raj." "Why are you dragging Sameer into it?"" ""Don't stand up for Sameer!" "Don't... okay, okay, I'm sorry"" ""Do stand up for him!" "Go ahead!" "You're made for each other, right?"" ""She's wearing such a lovely sari, and look at your suit..."" "Which suit is this?" ""l'm not fighting, I'm only taking a look at the suit"" "Don't touch me!" "I'm taking a look at his suit!" ""What are you talking about, Raj?"" "I've got nothing." "You've got the money!" "It's aunt who sends tickets for me" "And your dream of childhood in Switzerland..." "And there's Sameer to lend us money" "This is between the two of you." "I must leave" "Where d'you think you're going?" "It's between the two of you!" "Rather I go away!" ""Actually, I'll call a priest and have the two of you married"" ""Why even call a priest?" "I know the rites, I was recently married"" "I remember everything." "Give me your hand..." ""What are you up to, Raj?"" "I'm in love... you are in love... so what have things come to be?" "I am not unfaithful... you are not unfaithful..." ""so why do we hold so much against each other?"" "We were walking together..." ""so what caused these distances between us?"" "We don't even know... where we are headed" ""l'm in love, you are in love..."" "so what have things come to be?" "I am not unfaithful... you are not unfaithful..." ""so why do we hold so much against each other?"" "We were walking together..." ""how have we come to be distanced from each other?"" "We don't even know... where we will go" ""My heart is immersed in pain..."" "my eyes are filled with tears" "This season of loneliness... isolates me from my path" ""We had dreamt of achieving our goal together"" "But our paths are now different" "Even as we walked together..." ""l wonder how we have lost our way"" ""l'm in love, you are in love..."" "so what have things come to be?" "Look at the lovebirds." "They're at it again" "Their romance is beginning and Raj and Priya's love is coming to an end lt's almost a month now." " No one knows what caused the trouble" "One moment. I'll explain" ""Radha, come here"" "Let's suppose Radha is Priya and he's Raj" "Now say something to each other." "Anything... get started" "Go on lt's the man who starts it all." " Why?" "It's the woman who starts it" ""A woman speaks only when the man does something wrong, isn't it?"" "Are you telling me that it's the man who's always at fault?" ""Whatever, it's the man who actually starts it all"" "Won't the man react when his wife keeps nagging him?" ""Don't say anything against women, okay?" " Not against men either, okay?"" ""Because you're a man, you've got the power to scream at me?"" "And who gave you the power to scream at me?" ""Enough, enough!" "I get it"" "Neither of them are at fault" "They've separated for no rhyme or reason" "Wash the windshield properly." "It's the last time" "So you've examined the truck?" "Tell us if there is a problem" ""Raj, think it over again with a cool mind"" ""You're not making a mistake by selling off your trucks, are you?"" ""l know I'm making a mistake, Manubhai." " So why?"" "I'm making a mistake." "But I have no other choice" ""Unless I return Sameer's money, I can't have any peace"" "I wish to meet Mr Sameer Arora." "My name is Raj Mathur" ""Mr Mathur, he's in a meeting right now." "Please be seated"" "Tell him Raj Mathur is here." "It's urgent" ""He's busy in a personal meeting, Mr Mathur"" "He has told us not to disturb him for the next half hour" "Please sit down" ""When he's through with his personal meeting, give him this cheque"" "I'm telling you again." "Keep the cheque" ""You can return it to me later." " No, Sameer"" "My work with the Australian company has already begun" ""l know that, Priya." "But I'm feeling very strange..."" "the way you're returning this cheque to me" ""For me, it's very important to return the cheque to you, Sameer"" ""ln fact, I shouldn't have taken it from you at all"" ""No, Priya. lf a friend doesn't help a friend, who will?"" ""No, Sameer. lt was my mistake"" ""Before taking the money from you, I should've considered..."" "how much it would hurt Raj" "If you think your relations with Raj will be okay if I take back the money..." ""l'll take it back." " No, Sameer"" "It isn't about money." "It's not money" ""l admit, I made a mistake." "But what Raj said and did..."" "no woman can ever tolerate." "She can't ever" ""l had to relieve myself of a burden, and I've done it"" "Raj is such a fortunate man" "You love him so much" ""Let me drop you home." " No, Sameer. I'll go on my own"" ""l'm glad you're here, Manubhai." " What happened?"" ""Raj has been drinking all evening, talking about Priya." "Look"" "Not a word from you." "I'll talk to him" ""Raj, what's up?" "stop it now"" "Let me drink this up" ""What happened, Raj?"" "All I want to ask Priya is:" "Why did she go to Sameer?" ""They're childhood friends, we all know that"" ""Raj, you aren't suggesting...?" " What rubbish!" "No!"" ""l didn't mean that... no, not at all"" "All I want to ask is why she went to Sameer." "That's it" ""You're no longer together, it could be anything else"" ""What say, Manubhai?" " What anything else?"" "What if she's not with me?" "She's still my wife and I..." ""Why're you getting sentimental?" " Yes, I'm sentimental!"" ""And she knows that too and despite that, she went there"" "I'll be back in a moment." " Where to?" "I'll just go and ask Priya why she went to Sameer" "Listen..." ""You think I'm going to fight with her?" "Bansi, get us some more drinks"" ""lf l had to fight, I'd have given Sameer a punch right there"" "I'm only going to ask her." "Only to ask her" "Go ahead and drink." "I'll be back" ""No, I don't want the car"" "Theirs is a strange love." "I can't understand it I think there's going to be a fight" "But I also get the feeling that..." ""since he's meeting her after many days, they'll get cozy"" "It'll all be settled." "Take it from me" ""Bansi, get us some glasses"" ""Madam, one Raj Mathur is here to meet you"" "Raj Mathur?" "At this hour?" "Ask him to come tomorrow morning" ""Tomorrow morning?" "Okay, madam..." " Tomorrow morning, my foot!"" "Give me the phone" ""Aunt, it's Raj."

"Let us sleep!" "Go inside and sleep!" " Stop this drama" "Decent folks live here." " You're decent..." ""because you live in tall buildings?" "She calls me a thug, a ruffian!"" "I'm going to beat her up!" "Stop pushing me" "What's the matter?" "What racket is this?" ""lt's your son-in-law, the thug." "He's showing his true colours"" "Leave me alone!"

"I know you very well, Raj"" "But I can't take it anymore."

""ln the world somewhere, there will be someone very happy..."" "because you are happy Remember?" "Go on." "Go home" ""My child, think again." "It's a very crucial step"" "And you can't take such decisions in haste" ""Kishore, what's gotten into you?"" "If Priya has decided to leave India and go away to Greece... she must've thought about it" "You saw the racket he created last night" "Priya...?" "It's very difficult for me to live with Raj" "And it's also difficult for me to live here and stay away from him" ""What have I gone and done, Manubhai?"" "What did I set out to do..?" "And what did I end up doing!" "That's the trouble with you!" "You think after you do!" "What am I to do now?" "What can you do?" "You've done what you had to!" "So why're you asking us what to do?"
