"The prevalent peace and tranquility in the Nalanda Valley is a result of his tremendous efforts." "Before colonel Anand Viraj went there that valley was known as the valley of death" "But after he went those thousands of people who had left that place due to fear, have started returning." "In this short span of 2 years more than 20,000 terrorists have been arrested." "And the rest are running around to save their lives." "To maintain peace, the Government confers Colonel Anand Viraj with a peace award" "This was a token on behalf of us terrorists." "If we wished, we could've presented this to you earlier." "But we were waiting for the day... when you confer your brave colonel Viraj with a peace award" "And we could put an end to him forever." "We pledge that every officer sent by your government to our area shall meet with the same fate." "Or perhaps worse than this." "We are free!" "And we shall fight for our freedom till the day we have achieved it!" "We give you one months time." "The army base that you've set up in our area should be removed." "If your government fails to acquiesce to our demands then every person... who is a well-wisher of your government in ourarea... shall be sent to hell." "And your nation will be presented with such a gift that future generations will never forget." "One month!" "Only one month!" "What do we do about this insane man?" "He is the greatest threat to our nation's unity!" "Until he is arrested let alone this area there won't be peace in any part of the country." "Sir, we are trying our best to arrest him." "I know." "But we don't have much time." "I wonder what will his next move, after a month, be?" "After years of friendship I have obtained the nuclear bomb from foreign allies." "Its time to use it." "My brother, I'm entrusting to you a very big mission." "All of you must be knowing who is coming to our school." "Sir, my calculation says that the minister is coming." "And you all must also be knowing that how much donation he has..." "Let me complete first." " ...decided to give our school." " 25 lakhs" "You must also be aware that our students can ruin everything." "I have left no stones unturned in praising tis school." "As for the discipline, I said that even if a small needle drops in this school the noise echoes outside." "But let that be." "I have lied so much, that my tongue is burning." "But all of you listen carefully." "If anything goes wrong in front of the minister we will lose 25 lakhs." "But that will effect your salaries, too." "Stop coughing and tell all your students that when the flag is being hoisted and the National Anthem is being played they should hold their breath and salute the flag." " What happened, sir?" " Wonder how this..." "Where does oxygen obtained in chemistry?" " Where has sir gone?" " Where is he?" "Nice cigarette." "What for?" "What are you doing here?" "I had asked you to come to my office." "We are standing in your office, sir." " ls this my office?" " Sir, I wonder who shifted your office in the garden early in the morning?" "My office in the garden?" "You must be crazy!" "He's no V.l.P., but our new teacher." "If so, then why is he being welcomed like this?" "God knows why." "Just watch the principal will sing praises about him." "Dear students, the person standing before you today is Ajay Saxena." "He is a great man." "And his greatness is beyond any comparison." "When he was a student himself he was an example of humanity." "Had he gone in for further studies..." "He would have been a scientist, an engineer or agreat poet." "But in my eyes, being a teacher is the greatest of professions." "The best thing is that he was a student of this school." "And today he is here to teach students of this school." "The amount of affection and love he has for the students." "I have no words to express" "There are no flowers left now." "What a garland!" "What's this, sir?" "Are you suspecting us?" "This is an insult, sir." "No, it is not that." "When I was a student I used to harass my teachers, too." "I thought you might do the same." "I was only making sure." "Breaking the legs of the chair has become very outdated, sir." "All this happens in kindergartens now." "Our level is something else, sir." "This means you have other plans for me." "What is this, sir." "You're scared before anything has begun?" "Don't worry." "Sit down." "The Principal must have told you about me." "Now I'd like to know about you." " What is your name?" " Your name sir, Ajay." "Then you must be very clever." "Yes, in all other things except studies." "On hearing your names, I feel that I'm sitting in a cinema hall." "I'm sorry, this is my period." "You're mistaken." "As per the time table, this is my class." "You seem to be a newcomer." "Probably the time-table you've got is wrong." "Ask any student, this is the English language period." " Right, Ajay?" " Yes, sir." "As per our time table, this is the English period." "But I think the time table has changed." "It would be better if you check at the office." "Come again!" "Must I go and check?" "Look, I've been teaching here for the past 3 years." "And you have just come." "I am your senior;" "so go over and check." "But the Principal..." "Your name?" "Mr. Ajay." "As per my calculation the class that you went in... was correct and so was your period." "Then who was that teacher?" "She's no teacher." "That was Jaya, a student." "A very naughty student." "She stays in the hostel." "She's number one in studies." "Number one in sports." "And number one in ragging too!" "She sends teacher packing from the classes." "When you said that your level is different... I should have guessed." "I got fooled." "Well, who is Jaya amongst you?" "Who asked you to sit?" "And you can't get away like this." " What made you do that?" " You had said, sir..." "You think you are too smart?" "!" "I know you are Numero Uno in other activities." "But worst in discipline." "This is the only drawback that is enough to overshadow your good qualities." "Sorry, sir." "But they had laid a bet that..." " l can't fool the new teacher." " Enough." "This is the only difference between Indians and foreigners." "If a thorn pricks, them they will say...." "Whereas we Indians will say..." "a thorn has pricked me." "As though the thorn walked upto them." "You are blaming others for your mistake." "Wow, sir!" "What an example!" " lt pricked my heart." " You find it funny?" "No, sir." "She's praising you." "My childhood friend." "How are you?" "What are you staring at?" "Don't you recognise me?" "I am your childhood friend, Shagun." "Jaya, this new teacher is my childhood friend." " What is he?" " A friend." "We were studying in the same class." "I got stuck here like a adhesive." "And he became a teacher." " Shagun, go and sit down." " Let me talk." " You know what happened one day?" " What?" "He went to the girls with the intention of teasing them." "But the girls teased him instead and sent him back." "You know why?" "Because he was very naive at that time." "What?" "!" "Do you have no sense?" "I'm your teacher and you are my student." " Behave yourself." " Really?" "When we were small, you often said that I am your friend your a lifetime." "And you could do anything for me!" "Today you ask me to behave myself?" "Go and take your seat!" "Go on!" "Take your seat, eh?" "I'll go, if you insist." "But I never expected this from you." "Have you forgotten the days when we used to feast on grams together after school." "We used to fly kites and play together." "And he broke everything in one stroke." " Forget it, uncle." "Relax." " How can I forget it?" "He has hurt my feelings." "Today in literature, I'll teach..." " Why did you get up?" " The bell, sir." "Nevermind." "Today's the first day." "I'll teach one line at least." "Hey!" "Step aside, uncle." "I'll the cart uphill." "No, son." "You only push it from behind." "Oh, move aside. lt is not your cup of tea." "Okay. lf you insist." " You trouble the new teacher too much. - l have to." "Why are you roaming outside?" "If it's a holiday, you ought to sit down and study." "Go and study." "I know who drew this beautiful painting." "But today, I don't want to waste time arguing unnecessarily." " Give me your book." " Here, sir." " l don't want your book" " You sit down." "is something wrong with my book?" "I said I don't want it." "You are humiliating me before the entire class." "You must tell me why you don't want my book." "I don't think it's necessary." " Go back to your seat." " Hey, Ajay!" "I mean, sir." "Yesterday you opened your books and the bell went off." "I hope the bell doesn't ring before you open the book today." "What?" "If you continue like this, when will you teach us?" "Our studies are suffering." "I know how interested you are in studies." " Sit down." " Sit down, uncle." "Give it to me!" "Woman... I want to tell you a few important things about women." "Do you know when a woman is called a woman?" "It is a weird question, but..." " What are you up to?" " What have I done, sir?" "You know what I mean." "I wonder what's wrong with him." "Ever since he has come here, he picks on me alone." "Hey, Ajay..." "Show me what you will do when your lips go dry." "Yes!" "And you, Neelam?" "All of you show me." "If I did that, why is he shouting at me?" "Sir, you too!" "Look, Jaya." "You are a good student." "The best in every subject." "But this is my second day in school." "Let me teach one lesson at least." "When have I stopped you, sir?" "Go ahead." "Today I will..." "What's wrong, Uncle?" "Why are you sulking?" "What do I tell you?" "Today I dozed off in class." "So Ajay has asked me to stand on the bench for a week as punishment." "My pants are short. I feel shy in front of the girls." "Everything can be seen." "I won't go to the class." "Don't worry, uncle." "I'll give you an idea." "Get your cars here." "Yesterday I asked the ass to stand on the bench." "Looks like he has forgotten." "Get down." "I am obeying your orders, sir." " You told me stand here." " Get down and come here." "Why did you wear these shorts to school?" "Because today we have the games period." "That's for everybody else, too." "But they aren't wearing it." " Are you special?" " Sir I feel comfortable playing in these bermudas." "Then do one thing. I don't want to see you for a week." "Ajay, listen to me..." "Sunderkhand..." "Sunder is another name for Lord Hanuman." "That signifies the character of Lord Hanuman." "Either you'll stay in this class or me, Jaya." "Tell me who will leave." "Don't bother, sir." "I will leave." "Sir!" "The principal!" "This is the D.O. and this is Mr.Ajay." " What are you teaching them?" " About Sunderkand." "Can I ask them a few questions?" "Sir, I've just begun." "I won't ask much." "Can anyone tell me?" "There is no person on earth who can save herself from illusion." "And when he does fall under it, he is left nowhere." "In the beginning of Sunder kand when in the Ashoka Vatika, Goddess Sita, in the memory of lord Rama, started crying on the other hand Lord Rama is thinking about his wife Sita  that where she must be and in what state starts crying and wanders into the jungle." "That very moment, Lord Hanuman meets Goddess Sita in Ashoka Vatika.." "..and gives her Lord Rama's ring." "On seeing that, Goddess Sita overcomes her illusion." "But another illusion starts tormenting her." "Will she be able to meet Lord Ram again?" "Similarly when Lord Hanuman returns to Lord Rama and gives Him news about Goddess Sita He also overcomes His illusion." "But immediately after, another illusion overtakes Him." "He wonders if He will ever be able to see Sita again." "The one who helped them both the illusion is Sunderkand." "That is it, Sir." "Our teacher taught us till here." "How wonderfully have you explained it to the students." " Wonderful." "Shall we go?" " Yes." "Should I still leave the class." "Or shall I..." " Wow!" "That's wonderful" " You are a genius." "Jaya, you wait." "Let me phone first." " My girlfriend will fall asleep." " No, let me phone first." "What's the matter, Sir?" "You look worried." "Just see this month's telephone bill." "I never make so many calls." "If I must, I use the public STD booth." "What nonsense!" "Why are you hanging up, dad?" "Are you bored talking to your daughter?" "You've been talking to me for the last half an hour, dear." "On an STD line!" "You know how much the bill will be?" "That's exactly why I call you in the nights, dad." "Phone calls at night are for free." "Our principal is a great guy." "He foots the bill." "I can talk to you for another hour!" "An hour!" "Good news!" "Today our teachers of Maths and Science haven't turned up!" "A free period!" "What's the matter?" "What's the racket for?" " This is not your period, sir." " l know that." "But the principal sent me so that you don't make noise and bother your neighbouring class." "Present, Sir." "Present, Sir." "Looks like you are not too happy to see me." "Do you except us to rejoice?" "We thought that since we had two periods free... ..we would sing, dance and have fun." "Would you object, if I too joined in in the fun?" " What are you saying, Sir?" " l am right!" "Wait till I tie my laces." "What impudence is this?" "is this what we teach you?" " What have I done?" " You very well know that." "Aren't you ashamed of doing such a sick thing?" "Perhaps you don't know how the ball jumps when it is kicked." "I did nothing wrong." "The sickness actually lies in your mind." "She's your teacher" "Don't you know how to speak to your teacher?" "Hey, that is between us." "Don't you interfere." "Perhaps you don't know that I'm the Minister's Son." "I can have you thrown out of school in a second!" "You are very strong, all right." "Let go of my hand." "Let go, I say!" "Drive!" "Faster!" "If anyone dares move, I'll spare no one!" "I'll gun 'em down!" "everybody!" "Faster!" "Careful!" "You have shown great courage." "It's better that you die!" "You swine!" "Finished!" "Hey, teacher!" "Even if the entire worlds' armies gets together they still can't save you." "Teacher!" "The day my brother learns about this that will be the last day of your life!" "Take away this scoundrel!" "No one should know that I'm behind his arrest." "I'm not worried about myself, but for those school children." "They shouldn't suffer on account of me." "You've done a great service to the country." "This will remain a secret." "May I ask you something?" "A while ago, when Govind held your hand you told him that he was very strong." "Govind is my student, Jaya." "and this man was a traitor." "I could've retaliated to Govind's impudence." "But that wouldn't shatter his pride." "Infact, it would've given rise to a feeling of vengeance in him." "Punishment doesn't change a student." "And I wanted to see a change in Govind." "Forgive me, Sir!" "Chote has been arrested!" "And here we are, twiddling our thumbs!" "Those dogs arrested him!" "My lion-hearted brother has been arrested by these dogs!" "No!" "No!" "He will be released!" "Yes, he will be freed!" "Anyhow and at any cost!" "Because only he knows where he has hidden the nuclear bomb." "Without that bomb I'll never be able to fulfill my vow." "And I have always fulfilled every vow of mine!" "And I always fulfill this, too!" "Uncle!" " My boy!" " What's the matter, Uncle?" "Everyone's out on the ground." "What are you doing here?" "Ajay suspended me for a week." "And I missed the picnic and the fun." "I sat at home, rotting like a brinjal I'll make him pay in such a way that he will regret it all his life." "What are you keeping in Jaya's book?" "You'll know that afterwards." "Come on." "Keep it." "You haven't worn a tie today, sir." "Why?" "Can't I teach without wearing a tie?" "Don't get annoyed, sir." "But you do look smart and handsome in a tie." "None of you will play any pranks." "The lesson that I'm going to teach today is very important and interesting." "What's the matter, uncle?" "Why did he get alarmed?" "Have you kept a bomb in the book?" "Uncle." " Jaya... come out." " Me, Sir?" "Looks like it's a very interesting lesson." "Sir will first explain it to Jaya." "Jaya will explain to us." "After that what will happen?" "Look Jaya, this is this is the first time and the first letter." "If anyone finds it, we will both get a bad name." "Hey!" "Why did he call you out?" "And what's this in your hand?" "Sir gave it to me." "I can't believe that the teacher can do this!" "Neither can I." "How have you decided to reply to it?" "That's a very interesting question.." "I'll think and tell you." "Sir, this..." "Now I don't need your book." "I've purchased one." "Go and sit down." "Uncle, looks like we won't have a class again today." "What have you kept?" "Uncle." "Looks like the teacher wants to tell you something!" " Go with him..." " Hey Shagun!" "That's enough!" "We've had enough of your pranks." "Leave him alone." "The teacher lives in Jaya's heart." "And Jaya lives in the teacher's heart" "Jaya will give her heart to him!" "This is the second time and the second letter." "I can't explain the trauma in my heart and mind." "Just understand that." "I'm terribly upset." "Try and understand." "Wow!" "A second letter?" "Look, if you don't love the teacher, then tell me." "I'll give him a reply." "I did not give him a reply till now." "That doesn't mean I don't love him." "You are a brilliant student." "So I overlooked all your mischief." "Despite two warnings, you have written a third love letter?" "That too your teacher?" "Your Guru?" "It's the limit!" "Had someone else been in Mr.Ajay's place he would have ruined your life." "This is his decency that he complained to me." "Give me a chance to speak, sir." " There's no need to speak." " Why not?" "You can't scold me by hearing one side of the story." "Listen to my complaint, too." "What is your complaint?" "Your letters are kept here." "Letter!" "What are you saying, Sir?" "But have you tried to find out where it came from?" "But have you tried to find out where it came from?" " Who wrote it?" "And why?" " Really?" "Who wrote it?" "You wrote it, of course?" "I have not written this letter, Sir." "He wrote it to me." "What nonsense!" "Look within!" "Who else wrote it to me?" "Try and remember." "When you first gave this to me what did you say?" ""This is the first time and the first letter"" ""lf anyone finds it, we will get a bad name"" " Am I right?" " What else could I do?" "How else could I stop you from going astray?" "In that case, when you gave me the second letter why did you say... I can't explain the restlessness going on in my heart and mind." "Try and understand that I'm very disturbed." "Mr. Ajay, what confusion is this?" "You're blaming her and she's blaming you!" "You know how much I respect my Guru." "I swear by you!" "I haven't written those letters." "Look, he is ready to swear by me." "Then I also swear by you, sir." "That neither did I write those letters." "What nonsense!" "Both of you are swearing by me." "That means one of you is lying and death for me is certain." "Better tell me truth." "Very well, sir." "If you suspect me then I have no right to teach here anymore." "Kindly accept my resignation tomorrow." "Okay..." "No!" "Hey, Mr. Ajay." "I can't afford to lose a teacher like you." "The inquiry will go on." "Now I'll hold her at fault." "Tell me, what punishment should we give her?" "She should be give a punishment that will be a lesson for all other students." "Suspend her for 15 days." "Isn't that too much?" "Her studies will suffer." "No, Sir." "She will stay in the hostel and study." "Enough!" "There's no need to praise me unnecessarily." "You wanted to suspend me and you have done it." "Are you at peace now?" "But I am not at peace." "Because this issue still remains unresolved." "If the boys get a whiff of this love letter they'll create a furore." "There's a class going on." "Why are you standing outside?" " l was waiting for you." " What for?" "To tell you that Jaya didn't write that love letter to you." "I placed it in your book." " What?" " You suspended me for a week." "And I missed my picnic." "So I did this to seek vengeance from you." "Jaya is not at fault." "I swear by the holy Ganga." "Believe me." "Jaya, there is a saying... I made a big mistake by complaining without even thinking about it." "Actually it was Shagun's prank;" "Forgive me." "A girl's name is published with a boy's name first on a wedding card" "But our name has been written all over the school compound and the hostel's bathroom." "Now we have only one solution, Sir." "That we become each other's forever." "Whom are you talking to?" "I am your teacher and you are my student." "Aren't you ashamed to talk like this?" "What stuff are you made of, sir?" "When a beautiful young girl says "l love you" to a man he will dance with joy!" "Look, Sir." "Don't refuse." "Think about me at night." "I promise you, you won't sleep a wink." "Next day, when you come to school your decision will be changed." "Wrack your brains all the six days in school!" "You get just one day off." "And you waste that of those poor flowers!" "Enjoy your life sometimes." "She stays in a hostel What is she doing in your house?" " My house?" " l'll explain." "Go away." "Actually, sir... I have left the hostel and am neighbour now." "I mean, I am a paying guest at Mr. Panipur Sharma's house." "The food and accommodation together cost me 1000 Rupees a month." "A penny for your thoughts, sir." "I told you the other day itself." "That breaking free from the whirlpool of sadness and reaching the shore of happiness is 'Sunderkand'." "And my Sunderkand is to find you." "To come close to you;" "to have you for myself." "And this is my first step towards my goal." "You are naive, Jaya." "You are childish." "You'll regret all this someday." "Because yours desire will never be fulfilled." "Well, sir!" "Don't bless me;" "but don't curse me, too." "This is my first and last desire." " l'll see how it..." " Now look, Jaya." "I have this hedge-trimmer in my hand." "I could cut your neck with it!" " Don't be angry, sir." "Because even your anger can't make me give up." "Don't go to school alone." "Let me pillion-ride on your scooter." "We will have a nice conversation on the way." " Greetings." " Greetings." " Go in, dear." " You come in too." "What will I do in there?" "I'm fine here." "Very well." "Sonam, what is all this?" "Did you see a girl and the teacher going in?" "I've been noticing from the past few days." "Every second day, this woman comes to him with a new girl." "She waits outside and the girl goes inside with the teacher." "At what time does she come out?" "Some come out in 15 minutes;" "whereas same stay on for 1/2 hour." "What could it be?" "How could the teacher do that?" "When a girl matures, only then is she called a woman." "You have not answered my question properly." "Why do you look at that picture every time?" "That's my Grandma." "She is no more." "But even today, when I look at that picture I feel as if she is talking to me." "One last question." "Why does a woman light a lamp in the house?" " To do away darkness." " ls it only that?" "Yes, to illuminate the house." "A lamp does illuminate the house." "But my grandma says that a lamp is lit in the house to bring in peace, harmony and wealth." " Do you understand?" " Yes." "Please don't misunderstand me." " This girl also is..." " What are you talking about?" "How can I misunderstand you?" "You want to marry an orphan and give her a home." "It's the orphan's good fortune." "Don't you worry." "There are 350 girls in my orphanage." "Till you don't get a girl of your choice..." " ..." "I'll keep on coming here." " Thank you." "I want the girl to be educated, understanding and an ideal home-maker." "These are only the qualities." "Stop here." "Can you tell me where Mr Ajay Kumar Saxena lives?" "That's me." "I've came from the Shivnandan orphanage." "what about the other woman?" "She is not well and couldn't make it." "Okay, never mind." "I've got a girl." "But she is a Muslim." "Do you have any objection?" "Not at all. I don't distinguish in religions." "Come, dear." " Greetings." " Greetings to you, too." "Do come in." "Here is your reward." "Now get going!" "Your name?" "Never mind, I'll memorise it." "Can I ask you a few questions?" " Sure." "Go right ahead." "But even I'd like to ask you a few questions." "Of course." "Ladies first." "Tell me, when a cow gives birth to a calf the calf immediately traces its mother's udders for milk." "How does it know that milk is there?" " What a question." " Answer me." "Unlike us human-beings... animals cannot speak and guide their little ones." "Yet, how do they happen to know everything?" "How do they drink milk without their mother's guidance?" "If you ask a layman this question even he will answer it." "All this is nature's law." "The act of seeking out milk among calves is called the fifth sense." "Oh, well!" "So that is how it is!" "Animals only have five senses." "And yet, according to nature's law, they are so sensible." "Whereas human-beings have six senses and they are still such idiots." " Meaning?" " l mean  a child grows in the arms of a woman sees women and understands women that, he becomes so immature at the time of marriage that he needs to take interviews of his future brides?" "Don't be offended, but are you interviewing a steno or typist that you'd feel happy if she says that she has ten years of experience?" "If I say that I have ten years of experience of married life, will you accept me?" "Will you like it?" " Would you like to ask me anything?" " No!" "Oh, no." "You must ask me something." "Perhaps you know something that I don't know." "Even I'd get to know of it." "Very well." "Why does a woman light a lamp in the house?" "Difficult question, isn't it?" "But never mind." "Think and tell me." "If you still can't answer it then I will tell you." "Different women light lamps for different reasons." "A poor woman lights it to illuminate her hut." "A courtesan, to brighten the mood of the gathering." "A devotee, to please her God." "And a housewife lights a lamp to bring in wealth, peace and harmony." "One last question;" "can you sing?" "Why?" "If I can't, won't you marry me?" "When a man returns from work he wants his wife to press his hands and legs." "Will I have to press your hands and legs, too?" " Are women mere slaves?" " Don't be angry, madam." "I didn't mean that." "There are few days in a month when women also rest." "So will you press my legs during that period?" "Why not?" " Okay, then I can sing." " Then please sing!" "Please do!" "For that we'll have to go to beautiful valleys." "Where there is greenery all around." "Where there are huge mountains." "And the beautiful waterfalls." " Waterfalls?" " Yes." "Where we're surrounded by many young maidens." "Where is that woman who was with you?" " Anything important?" " No. I wanted to tell her that I've decided to marry you." "But you haven't even seen my face." "Looks hold no importance for me." "It's the person's nature and heart that ought to be good." "Won't you change your decision once you've seen my face?" "My name is Ajay Kumar Saxena." "I'm a man of word." "Don't look at me like this..." "You've given me your word." "You don't go back on it." "Try getting married once." "Yes, sir." "Don't break her heart." "She loves you very much." "Aren't you ashamed of playing such a dirty trick and talking like this with your teacher?" "Your parents send you so far to study only because they trust us." "Because they hold us in great respect." " They have an image..." " Are you rejecting me just because I am your student?" "Yes. lt's because you're my student." "That is why!" "What childishness is this, dear?" " l won't let you go..." " What's the matter, sir?" "I don't know, but she's leaving the school." "Why this sudden decision?" "What's the reason?" "Are studies more important or life?" "Life is more important but..." "Then just think that this is a matter of my life." " What are you saying?" " Don't worry, sir." "I'll explain to her Jaya;" "one minute." "Now I'm not your student." "And that is why I've done this." "From today I'm Jaya for you and you are just Ajay for me." "Only Ajay." "Mr Ajay...!" "We need not worry about each other anymore." "I will not trouble you either." "Ask me why?" "Because tomorrow I'm going to marry the teacher, Shobha." "Here is my wedding card." "Do attend the wedding and give us your blessings." "Shobha... will you step aside for a moment, please?" "What's this?" "She's going to be my wife!" "Why are you calling her out there in the covers?" "What's all this about?" "Shagun is your student!" "And you are marrying him?" "!" "I've had many suitors to come and take a look at me, Ajay." "And all they wanted was a bank;" "not a wife." "Everybody asked me what I could give them in dowry." "And do you know what Shagun told me?" "He said "You are wise and educated"" "'l am uneducated But I have plenty of money'." "'l'll keep you very happy'." "He only wanted my approval." " So I agreed." " Yet, he's your student." "Which law book states that a student and teacher can't marry?" "Shobha!" "Are you discussing school matters or is it personal?" "What's holding you up?" "I'm through." "So, Mr. Ajay;" "you must attend." "Yes, do come." "What is it, sir?" "Why are Shagun and the teacher together?" "I know everything!" "Now, what do you say?" "You're always singing the same song of teacher and student!" " Do you have an answer now?" " Yes, I do!" "When I was in school, a student eloped with his teacher." "Do you know what the student's parents did?" "They committed suicide." "Till today, that incident haunts my mind." "You pose a question and answer it, too I don't care what you think." "But I've made up my mind today." "This is the fist step towards our love." "is this your belt?" "This is a wedding necklace!" "Learn to respect it." "Look, Jaya. I've promised the principal that I'd bring you around somehow." "Forget all this and concentrate on your studies." "I am firm in my decision, sir." "I want to win a distinction by becoming your life." "Marry someone else and get 1000/0 marks!" "I have no objection but... I can't even think of anyone else anymore." "I give you a week's time." "On the eighth day, you must put this around my neck." "Otherwise, I'll repeat the story you told me about." "Meaning?" "A teacher from your school eloped with a student and her parents committed suicide." "If you don't marry me I'll drown myself in the sea." "And you'll lose face." "The decision lies in your hands." "Be damned or accept this wedding chain." "That was not fair on your part, Jaya." "By threatening him, you've landed him in deep trouble." "Poor fellow has gone out since yesterday." "I hope he hasn't fled the city out of fear." "No!" "Looks like he has returned!" "But why's he in a car instead of a scooter?" "What is this, Mr.Ajay?" "You got married all of a sudden!" "Greetings, sister-in-law He didn't even inform me." "Mr. Ajay, this is a damned good calculation, I say!" "One gardener and two flowers!" " Congratulations, Ajay." " What are you doing?" "Hang on." "According to the traditions this is necessary when a newly wedded-bride comes home." "According to tradition, the groom's relatives give her gold jewellery, too." "Who will do all this?" "The teacher has no one;" "the girl is an orphan." "The teacher got married in an orphanage in haste." "It's not a matter of haste or being an orphan, Mr. Mishra." "I had already decided to get married to an orphan." "That was really very nice of you." "But it is necessary to follow the traditions." "From today we are her relatives." "Mr. Ajay!" "Were you a playwriter before?" "You know when to bring someone home!" "And when to make a paying guest out of someone." "You are good at synchronizing things." "By the way, my calculation was something else." "But you did something else!" " What are you doing here?" " Where do I go?" "Wow!" "Fantastic!" "It doesn't rain; it pours!" "Some are so lucky with women and some are yet..." "Mr. Panipuri, why are you standing?" "Please sit down. I'll some send tea." "Hey, what are you doing?" "Go away." "Doing up your bed for the nuptials." "So the next time you remember it..." "Remember what?" "When I come here as a bride you must keep this bed decorated." "Look, Jaya, it's because of you that I got married in haste." "So that your career doesn't get spoilt." "Whatever be the reason, it's good enough." "Atleast you'll get some first-hand experience." "It'll be handy when we do it." "Don't talk nonsense or I'll kill you!" "I am a married man." "Get married seven times, for all I care!" "I'll still become your eighth wife and come here." "That's a promise." "You are the judge." "And this is your court." "But today I'll give the verdict." "If my brother is not handed over to me then all your people." "will be sentenced to death." " What's the position?" " 100 of our men are trapped." "And most important, the judge is in their custody." "Hold the fire!" "He has threatened to kill one of our men, ever half minute." " Take a decision quickly, sir." " Hey, minister!" "You have no option but to release me." "Look!" "They're bringing Chote upstairs." "My brother!" "No, brother!" "Don't come close to me." "Why have you stopped, Captain?" "!" "Won't you take your brother along?" "He is before your eyes!" "A few steps away from you!" "If you have the guts, then take him away!" "Go on!" "But remember!" "You can't take him alive from here!" "You'll have to look for pieces of his body!" "What do you guys think?" "!" "That you alone can play human bombs and kill yourselves?" "We can sacrifice our lives, too!" "The only difference is, you die for your selfish ends." "And we die for our nation!" "East or west..." "India is the best." "We live here..." "It is our paradise." "Looks like we are being trapped in a conversation." "What do you want?" "You were going away on a transfer from Kalipur." "But it won't be you... it'll be this chap who will go there." "You are very fortunate, Saraswati, that the teacher agreed to marry you the moment he saw you." "Or else, he had asked me such difficult questions." " Really?" " But probably the questions he asked me before marriage is something he can ask you after marriage." "On your wedding night." "What happened?" "Why are you crying?" "Did someone say something to you?" "I'm an orphan." "I never even dreamt that I'd get a husband like you." "You've done a big favour by marrying me." "I have not done any favour." "I'm a man." "And every man needs a companion in his life." "You are a woman." "And you need a life partner, to support you, too." "So that makes us equal." "Yes." "Come on." "Sit down." "What's this?" "Why are you sitting down?" " How can I sit with you?" " Oh, no!" "Sit up here." "You are my wife, not my slave." "Look, Saraswati." "I love only three people." "The first is my grandma." "She raised me." "The second is the teacher who taught me to be what I am." "And the third is you..." "Because you're my wife." "Before you came, it was only those books." "People call me a book-worm." " Oh yes, get Milton's 'Paradise lost' from there." " Yes." "Milton writes, that if a husband and wife understand each other their lives will be better than that in Paradise." " What's this?" " You uttered a big name." "So I got the thickest book." "What?" "How far have you studied?" "Why are you quiet?" " Class five." " Class five?" "!" "Then why did you name yourself Saraswati?" "Not I, my parents gave me the name." " To cheat me?" " But it is not my fault." "When I was in the fifth, the teacher said I should be in fourth when I went to fourth that teacher told me I should be in third." "Then I passed third fourth and fifth." "I was demoted again;" "this happened thrice." "Then I grew up." "I felt shy studying with small children." "I quit studies Saraswati." "When I asked you in English..." " ...why did you nod your head?" " You nodded your head, too.." " So I followed suit." " Sit down." "You are zero in English." "But do you know Hindi?" "What does this mean?" "If you know it, nod like this and if you don't, do this." "I do." "Can you cook?" "You absolutely name." "Nod your head and say you know everything." " Then gradually learn it." " But it's a sin to lie." "Not at all." "Do as I say." "Otherwise your house will break before it's made." "A penny for your thoughts!" "I had asked you..." " ...do you know to cook?" " l do." "Thank God." "Look, I'm very fond of food." "More than vegetarian, I love non-vegetarian fare." "But if the vegetarian food is good enough, I don't mind it either." "But I like everything in non-veg." "Meat-balls, liver, kidney..." "Listen, don't let your husband talk too much." "Yet if he asks too many questions switch off the light immediately." "That changes a man's mood." "And in vegetarian..." "Saraswati, why have you switched off the lights?" "On our wedding night, will you only talk?" "Oh wow!" "I thought you are absolutely naive about this." "Grandma, why are you staring like this?" "Close your eyes." "Sister-in-law." "Sister-in-law!" "Sister-in-law!" "Saraswati, what's the matter, my dear?" "He thought perhaps he is marrying an educated girl who is also good at cooking" "But when he learnt that I've studied only till the fifth class, he was very upset." " That means, last night..." " No, I handled that." "We slept at 4 this morning." " You are very smart." " Sure, sister-in-law." "If he learnt that along with being uneducated I don't know to cook I wonder how upset he would have become." " Good." " But at night he said..." " Good." " But at night he said wake him up in the morning with... what is it?" " Oh yes Gascoffee!" " "Gascoffee" ?" "Not "Gascoffee"!" "It's Nescafe." "Oh yes!" "But how do I make that?" "I am getting very scared." "Silly girl." "Don't worry till I'm around." "If there's any problem, just come to me." "Don't hesitate." "Everything will be alright soon." " Thunk you sister-in-law - lt's thank you!" "Wow!" "What coffee!" "Didn't I say that except a few departments God has made you talented in everything else." "I feel like giving you a reward early in the morning." "You'll get late for school." "You freshen up. I'll prepare your breakfast." " Forget breakfast." " Leave me." "Here lentil-curry, puris and stuffed pancakes." "You're very nice, sister-in-law." "What's the matter?" "Aren't the pancakes good enough?" "Sister-in-law!" " Sister-in-law" " Why are you..." " One minute." "What is the matter, Ajay?" "Your husband Mr. Panipuri Sharma always sings your praises." "...that no one can prepare stuffed parathas better than my wife." "Saraswati, go and give her some parathas." " Sure." " Why send it again?" " l mean, she has already given some to me." " What?" "So, how did you find them?" "What do I say?" "I'll tell Mr. Sharma not to sing praise my praises anymore." " Hey, Saraswati." " Yes." " Come here." "You still don't feel like going to school?" "No." "Actually, apart from me, there are a few bachelors..." " ...who teach in the school." " l see." "Before they make fun of me I want to tell them the advantages of marriage." "Do one thing, prepare chicken biryani and ...chicken curry for 10-15 people and send it to school." " Sure." " What are you thinking?" "About the chicken biryani." " And chicken..." " Curry." "If possible, send some chicken fry too." "It's a matter of my honour." "The food had better be good." "Bye." "I'll send the peon to collect it." "Oh God!" "Sister-in-law!" "She's a vegetarian!" "What do I do now?" "What do I do now?" "Wonder what will happen?" "Don't laugh, grandma." "You tell me what will I send with the peon?" "And what will I tell him when he asks me?" "The very thought is scaring me." "I've come from the school to take away the tiffin." "Jaya, look." "The peon is here." " What will she do now?" " God knows." "She has not even made preparations for cooking." " Good-day, madam." " Good-day." " Give me." "Babu, wait!" "Hey!" "Hey what are you doing?" "It's Mr. Ajay's tiffin." "We know." "You just shut up." "It's empty." "'My dear husband;" "please don't get angry.'" "'But the truth is, I don't know to cook'." "'Your useless wife, Saraswati'." "Darling, where are you?" "What's wrong?" "Why are you so scared?" "Hit me." "You must have understood about my cooking skills." "Not only I, the entire staff has understood it." "Wow!" "What delicious biryani you sent me." "They couldn't stop licking their fingers." "Look what I've got for you." "These flowers." "This sari." " D'you like it?" " Yes." " Then shall we go?" " Where to?" "Hey wait!" "Keep this." " What for?" " You did a very big thing yesterday." "Had you not brought food from the hotel I would have to bear his brunt." "This includes money for the food and your reward." "I didn't do anything." "It was Jaya who gave that food." "Who?" "What name did you say?" " Who's this Jaya?" " She..." " Who is this Jaya?" " Your neighbour." "Neighbour?" "Who the hell are you?" "You think you are a celestial beauty from the heavens?" "Why did you send food for him?" "With what right?" "He's my husband." "Whether I send him food or no it's my wish." "Who are you to pry in our matters?" "You are very fond of my husband?" "If you can't wait, then why don't you get married?" "Why do you covet my husband?" "Hey, who is Jaya amongst the two of you?" "Tell me, who is Jaya?" "You glass-wearing idiot!" "Why did you send Biryani for my husband?" "At whose behest?" "Answer me!" " Jaya did that..." " Hey you lizard!" "If you interrupt I'll slap you so hard that all your teeth will fall out!" "Get lost!" "Tell me, you felt pity for him?" "You couldn't see him stay hungry, eh?" "You thought, you'd stealthily carry on your tricks and I won't be aware of it?" "Hey, if you are so much on fire go and extinguish it elsewhere!" "Henceforth if you look at my husband... I'll break your spectacles and your eyes." "Understand!" "If you think I'm uneducated and you'll woo my husband with your talks you're wrong." "Because I'm good at other things." "One loses control on oneself in anger." "And you have proved it." "You gave such a big sermon to that poor girl." "Without knowing what her fault is." "Do you know how kind-hearted she is?" "!" "Oh yeah, you'll surely support her." "After all she is your paying-guest." "And I?" " l'm just your neighbour." " Saraswati!" " Enough!" "Now I know you very well." "The other day you put this chain around me so that you can tell me whatever you like." "Here!" "Saraswati, you are making another mistake." "I'm making a mistake?" "!" "And that girl!" "She is doing is virtuous deed by eyeing my husband!" "Today it's my husband;" "tomorrow it can be yours!" "But your husband is an old man." "You have no worries." "But my husband is young, handsome and naive." "I have to save him from the evil eyes, don't I?" "You are talking too much." "Forget it, sister-in-law." "I've respected you enough." " l'll never see your face again." " Wait!" "Before going, return this chain to the one it belongs to." "What do you mean?" "You put this around me." "I did but this is not my chain; it's Jaya's." "The day you came here everybody was calling you an orphan." "She couldn't endure it." "You know what she said?" "Sister-in-law." "A woman comes to her husbands house with great hopes." "It's not fair to treat her like this on the very first day." "She has no one, sister-in-law." "Hence l'll consider her as my sister from today." "Give this to her." "Good Lord!" "What have I done?" "May I be damned!" "I said so many things without even thinking." "Which is why it is said that it is necessary to be educated." "I have hurt her feelings." "I've hurt the one who considered me as her sister." "My sister!" "Forgive me." "It was my foolishness that I misunderstood you." "But you should have atleast said something." "How could you?" "I didn't give you a chance to speak." "Look, now I understand why you sent food for my husband." "To save me from ridicule." "Listen, won't you talk to me?" "Are you angry?" "Look..." "Your sister is begging you to forgive her." "Won't you forgive her?" " On one condition." " Agreed." "Tell me." "You'll have to learn cooking in a week." "Within one week?" " But who will teach me?" " l will." " You?" "But can I learn?" "Leave that to me." "If you don't I'll continue sending food to brother-in-law." "And make him mine." "Agreed?" "Agreed." "I have put all that you told me to." "If it doesn't turn out well, it's not my fault." "Don't you worry, sister." "It will be delicious." " Taste it." " You taste it." " You taste it." " Okay. - lt's hot." "Not "think" you, it's "thank" you." "That is what I'm saying." "You know what the teacher will say when he returns?" "He won't say anything, sister." "He'll take you straight to the bedroom." "Shameless!" "Naughty girl!" "My brother!" "Brother, are you okay?" "Someone help my brother!" "What can we do?" "It is the child's fault." "The child's fault?" "It is your fault." "The child's leg is bleeding." "Take him to the hospital." "Sir, please forgive us." "Were you driving?" "Couldn't you see the no-entry sign?" "We are sorry, forgive us." "No way!" "You must come to the police station." "Don't get angry. lt's a small thing." "We're sorry." "A small thing?" "He could've got killed." "His leg could've broken and you find it a minor thing?" "Get down. I say, get down!" "Move!" "No!" " Jaya, are you okay?" " l'm fine, sir." "Take care." "Sir, they caused an accident and are fighting." "Look." "Hey, what hooliganism is this?" " How did you enter a no-entry zone?" " l told him." "...I'm sorry. I even apologised." "What's inside?" "Hey!" "What's inside?" " Mangoes" " Mangoes?" " Get breakfast quickly." "I'm very hungry" " Coming." "What's taking you so long?" "What's cooking?" "I have made lots of things." "Stuffed pancakees, a desert, lentil-curry, puris, omelettes." " Wow!" " This is not for you." "Only omelette for me?" "And whom's the rest for?" " For my younger sister." " Your younger sister?" "When was she born?" " The one who broke her head." "...to save me that Jaya." "You eat, I'll go and serve her." "Do you see, grandma?" "Gradually, that girl is getting friendly to my wife." "Now what do I do?" "Give me some idea, grandma." "Don't think so much." "In doing so, your grandson's house will be ruined." "Good morning, Mr. Ajay." "You look very handsome today." "What's the matter, Mr. Sharma?" "You sound good today." "Actually, my scooter's rear tyre is punctured." " So I'll thought I'd go with..." " Hold it!" "Your rear tyre is punctured." "By only a woman can become my pillion." "Nevermind. I can become a woman for a lift." "Wait, I'll go and change into a sari." "I said a woman, not an eunuch." " What do you mean?" " l mean, Mr. Sharma, that only my wife can ride pillion with me." " Why don't you take a bus?" " Enough!" "I'll make it somehow, but I don't need your calculations." "If I spend a rupee, I can go comfortably in a bus, getting pushed by ten women." " To hell with you!" " Hey wait!" "Take Jaya along." "She is not well." " Drop her at the hospital." " l'm already late." "She... she can take an auto." "Don't be silly." "The hospital is enroute." "What difference will it make if you drop her?" "Where will she look for an auto?" "Sit down." "Now don't look around." "Hold him properly or you'll fall." " Sit properly." " l'm sitting properly." "Remove your hand from my waist." "How can I?" "What if I fall?" "Stop!" "Stop!" "I say, stop!" "Mr. Ajay!" "In this romantic pose.." " Whose is she?" " Well... er... er..." "Enough!" "Just answer my question." " Who is she?" " Sir, don't you know me?" "I know you, Jaya." "But you don't know him." " Do you know, what he just told me?" " What?" "That only his wife can become his pillion rider." "Really?" "And no one else." "That is his principle." "Mr. Ajay, what about your principle now?" "is Jaya your wife?" "Or did you change your principle on seeing her?" " Why are you quiet, sir?" "Say something." " Shut up!" " Look, Mr. Sharma." " Stop putting on an act!" "I've got the answer." "Besides my calculation says the same thing." "Jaya, congratulations." "Go on." "Rascal!" "I won't let you succeed in your mission." "I won't let a traitor like you ruin the country." " Relieve the gate keeper" " Okay, sir." "God knows, sir." "What has the world come to?" "!" "No one even thought that our country would see this day." "What's wrong, sir?" "Whose telegram is this?" "Jaya's." "Her father was in the military." "In trying to stop a terrorist, he has become a martyr." "The 'High command' has said till this issue doesn't subside Jaya should be kept here." "Where else will she go?" "She had no one except her father." "Hey!" "Shagun!" "My child!" "I'm in a hurry." "Send someone else to fetch betel leaves." "I don't want betel leaves." "Tell me, is there an orphanage nearby?" "Why do you need an orphanage?" "Why are you leaving your house and going?" "Not for me." "For Jaya." "Poor thing has become an orphan." "When her father was alive the rent would come in regularly." "But from the time he expired so has my rent." "Hence my calculation says we should put her in an orphanage." "She will be happy with her likes." " What do you say?" " My calculation says that you are worse than what I had thought." "Shut up and stand straight." "At this time, when she needs your help you are throwing her out of your house for money?" "Sending her to an orphanage?" "I'll pray." "...that may you become an orphan soon." "Then I'll take you to an orphanage... I'll drag you there, beating you up like a dog!" "I won't spare you." "I'll make an orphan out of you!" "Jaya is going to some orphanage." "Why isn't she going to the one you came from?" "You know them and they'll look after her too." "Don't you have a heart?" "She's a girl who has lived all her life like a princess." "Suddenly after father's death she bacame an orphan..." "She's being sent to an orphanage and you are least concerned?" "Why should we take other people's responsibility?" "Don't be silly." "She is like my sister." "Meaning your sister-in-law." "You are her teacher, too." "What could be a better place than our house?" "In our house?" "A young and unmarried girl?" "Sister, I don't want to trouble anyone." "Did you hear?" "She too doesn't like the idea." "That's my problem." "You tell me do you have any objection?" "Even if I do, I'm helpless." "I'll have to give reasons." "She's most welcome." "Did you hear what he said?" "Come on in." "If you throw it like this, it will get more spoilt." "It's my bad luck." "With great desire... I had got this cassette." "Though I'd hear it all night this cassette player doesn't seem to work properly." "I won't give up even if I have to sit up all night." "I'll repair it and listen to the song." "Why?" "Do you only want to listen to this cassette." "Won't it do if I sing?" "What am I hearing?" "You know to sing?" "!" "Ofcourse." "You thought I was a no good?" "When we had special guests coming over to the ashram..." " l was always asked to sing." " Really?" "Why didn't you tell me on the wedding night?" "You didn't ask me..." "so how could I say?" "Now that I know, sing a beautiful song." " Shall I?" " Of course." "Very well." "What happened?" " The door is open" " So what?" "Never mind." "Jaya is outside. I only want you to hear my song." "That is fine." "I'll lock the door and come." " Now go ahead and sing." " No." " l'm feeling shy." " Of whom?" "You." "You feel shy in singing a song..." "how about other things?" "No. lf you look at me, I won't be able to sing." "Turn around and sit." "Then how will I see you singing?" "You don't see a song, you hear it." " Turn around." " Okay." "Okay." "What happened?" "Didn't you like my song?" "For God sake, go to sleep Saraswati." "I can't hear your sad song." "When I sang at the orphanage everybody always praised me." "But last night, he went to sleep on hearing it." "Probably he must be very sleepy." "No, he didn't speak to me this morning." "You hear my song." "Tell me honestly how it is." "Hold this." "Sister, your voice is good." "But your song is horrible." "Nevermind." "Just as I taught you to cook similarly, I'll teach you to sing in a week." "Really?" "What happened?" "Continue singing." "Hey Saraswati!" "Where are you?" "Come in and scrub my back." "I can't reach it." "Hey, Saraswati!" "Come soon!" "Here you are." "Why are you waiting?" "Scrub my back." "What are you doing?" "It's a detergent." "Will you scrape my back?" "Use this." "Your touch has passed a tremor through my spine." "On the first night, I was in a hurry." "But don't worry. I've a holiday on Sunday." "So..." "But, Saraswati..." "Ever since Jaya has come I don't enjoy my holidays." "Can't you send her out for 2-3 hours next Sunday?" "Saraswati, why are you quiet?" "What happened?" "Come on." "Come." "Come." "With whose permission have you come into the bathroom?" "And how dare you rub soap on my back?" "If I still keep quiet, you'll land me in trouble." "I did it unknowingly, sir." "Forgive me." "No, you did it intentionally." "Come what may, I'll tell my wife everything." " Okay, tell your wife I'll tell my sister." " You!" "What?" "That when you were away?" ""The teacher called me in the bathroom."" ""He thrust a soap in my hand and said..."" ""Rub it on my back"" ""No sooner had I started rubbing it..."" ""He held my hand and kissed it"" "I kissed it thinking it to be Saraswati's hand." "You couldn't differentiate between her hand and mine?" "Why are you sweating?" "It's not sweat, but water." "I've just had a bath." "Okay, I'll do as you say." "What did I say, sir?" "That you did it unintentionally and I should forgive you." "I have forgiven you but this should be a secret between the two of us." "Mr. Ajay, not two but three." "Don't you worry... this soap's calculation will be between the three of us." "I won't tell anyone anything." "Okay?" "Start!" "Today I'll teach you opposites." " Ugly" " Behind." "Behind!" "Behind!" "Answer properly." "What is a head made for?" " To get beaten." " What is the eye made for?" " To wink." " A mouth?" " To eat ill-gotten stuff." " A finger?" " Finger?" "I can't say in front of everybody." "Your lesson is over and my love lesson starts." "He's here!" "I have come, darling." "What's this?" "You have come so early?" "These flowers and these sweets." "What happened?" "Your monthly blues are over;" "now what's your problem?" "I'm observing a fast today." " Then what was yesterday?" " That was for the Goddess." " And the day before?" " For Goddess Santoshi." "There are seven days in a week." "...and you observe fast on all seven days!" "I came home early with great hopes..." " ...and you ruined everything." " Don't get so annoyed." "I'm not running away." "Get it tomorrow." "I won't observe any fast tomorrow." "I'm talking about today!" "What do I do today?" "What do I do with these sweets and flowers?" "Go and throw them!" "Why are you throwing those flowers and sweets?" "Give it to me. I have not observed any fast." "Get some water please." "Saraswati, get the cough-syrup, please." "Snake!" "Snake!" "Snake!" "What happened?" "Where's the snake?" "There's no snake. I was lying." "Listen!" "The truth is..." "I can't sleep here all alone." "I'm getting very scared." "I told you... not today." "I want to meet you in private." "Tomorrow, outside the school compound." "At three." " Captain, this is Bhola here." " Yes." "Chote's condition is very bad." "It's difficult to get him out of here." "But I have found out two things first." "Your brother has been arrested because of Ajay Saxena the teacher of S.T. school Roopnagar." "And second, the nuclear bomb." "Yes, go on..." "You are also a woman, Jaya." "Aren't you ashamed of ruining another woman's life?" "And specially of that woman who considers you as her younger sister?" "Just think Jaya." "Just think." "If she learns about you how hurt she will be." "If you have love for her and respect for me then I beseech you, please go away from our lives." "Give any excuse to Saraswati, but just go away!" "All right!" "It is true that I wanted to marry you." "But this is also true that the day you married sister I decided to go away from your life." "And had I not met sister perhaps I would have gone away by now." "But after meeting, I learnt that because of me, you've married such a woman in haste." "Who is not worthy of you completely." "Your wife can't cook, can't sing, can't even read or write." "On hearing all this, I was very hurt." "I started feeling guilty." "That day I decided that I'd teach your wife everything." "Make her worthy of you and go away from your lives forever." "Jaya, what are you saying?" "I always fool with you..." "Perhaps that's why you aren't taking me seriously today." "But it is the truth..." "the absolute truth." "I've finished my work." "And today..." "I'm going away from you too." "What's happening?" "I think the matter is serious." " Are you Ajay Saxena?" " Yes." "It's you I wanted to meet." "You must recall..." "Some time ago you had got a terrorist arrested." "I'm his elder brother." "We have met before." "In the market." "A child was run over by my truck." "Remember?" "You are the first person who dared to hold me." "Because of you, our years of effort have gone in vain." "You're the first person who has hindered our aim." "On account of you my brother is in our rivals' custody." "You have caused us untold losses!" "Leave the teacher alone!" "Don't hit him!" "Bastard!" "You killed my student?" "!" "You should have killed me if you wanted to!" "Sit down, you swine!" "Principal." "Go tell the minister." "If my brother is not brought here safely by 12 noon." "Then after every one hour one student will be killed." "Like this."
