""..the moment we lose our heart?"" ""Why do faintly emerging emotions seem immature?"" ""Bonds form from being drawn together."" ""Sweet relationships come into being."" "Yes!" "Hey, what are you quarrelling for?" " We want two.." "Come on, throw the ball." " One ball won't do." "It's the last wicket." "How many do we need for a win?" "Two runs off one ball." "Two runs off one ball?" "I've won then." "I've won." "I'll smash this one." "You're too carefree!" " Hey.." " Too carefree!" "Clap." "Clap." "Excuse me?" "Yes!" "Yes!" " Yes!" "Now we will play well." "We can win the match." "It's the last wicket." "Would you tell me where the place in this address is?" "32-24-36." "This is a number." "It's the first time I've ever seen this sort of address." "Sorry, this isn't it." "I.." "Hey, give up the bat." "You've lost your wicket." "Shut up!" "I got out because she interrupted." "That's true." "She has gotten him out." "You.." " Excuse me." "Now play seriously.." "You bowl well.." "And Chhotya, don't drop catches.." "You seem to be from Mumbai." " Yes." "Why?" "I guessed that from the crumpled paper." "And anyone could tell from the signature that you're from Mumbai." "You folks are in such a hurry." "Have a look." "See if even you can recognise this signature as your own." "Just look." "One moment." "It's not the writing that's at fault." "The problem lies with the name from around here." " What?" "What's written here?" " 'Hridaymardam'." "Exactly." "What sort of a name is that?" "We Puneites always give such names." "Names that inspire pride." "Even for buildings." "Do you know the address?" " Yes, it's easy." "Just go straight ahead from here." "Take a turn at the lower end." "Once you go a few steps further.." "..take a turn at the upper end." " Hey.." "The fifth building on your right.." "Hridaymardam." "What's the matter?" " Thanks." "Well, is your batting done?" "Come here, I'll tell you." "You.." "Come on, bowl." "But you got out!" "Oh really!" "She called me and that's why I got out." "Now go and bowl.." "Now go and bowl.." " What's this, buddy!" " I am not out." "I will see him." " Now bowl." "Now go and bowl." "Are you scared of me?" " You guys stop crying." "The bat is mine, and I'm the captain." "Who will refuse me?" "You catch him." " Hey, shut up!" "He won't get out now." "One moment." "Right here." "How much is the fare?" "Rs.50." "Excuse me." "What is it?" "This.." " I don't know, Ma'am." "What do you think of yourself?" "You were so bothered that slippers were kept at the door.." "..for a couple of minutes that you just tossed them away?" "Has something gotten in your eye?" "Didn't you read that board?" "If your slippers are so precious.." "..roam around with them stuffed in your pocket." "Get lost now." " Look.." "Look, I'm mindful of your age." "Otherwise.." "Hey!" "Get going." "Get going." "Get going now!" "Do you have a phone?" " Yes, there." "Thanks." "Yes, Rashmi." "Listen." "Hello?" "Wrong number?" "Who.." "Sorry!" "Sorry." "Hello?" "Rashmi?" "Yes, Rashmi." "Thank God." "I thought that Pune's phones too are irritating me." "No, I got here fine." "I just couldn't find the address." "No, someone says go one way someone else go the other way." "Exactly." "They're all such strange people." "No, I've found the address now but there's a padlock on the door." "No, I don't have the number." "No." "I sat doing the designs last night.." "..and forgot to charge my cellphone." "I had told mother that I don't want to go for this." "Exactly." "I just have to convey a refusal to that boy." "For that, I'm going to have to needlessly wait until he comes back." "Listen, Rashmi.." "Don't tell mother any of this." "Just tell her that I got here fine." "Okay?" "Otherwise, she'll try to call me.." "and when a call doesn't.." "..get through on my cellphone she'll needlessly worry." "We'll take this one?" " Okay?" "Let's buy two or three." " Alright?" "Shall I hang up now?" "It'll be a problem later." " Okay, bye." "No, let's just take one now." " Just one?" "Pay up." "I don't have any money." "What are you doing here?" "Me?" "I've come here to shave." "How much is it?" " Rs.3." "Here." " Please, give it in spare change." "Rs.3." "Where should I get spare change from, Sir?" "Shall I give you spare change?" "Here." "New to Pune, right?" "What's new about Pune?" "You seem to be new to Pune." " Yes." "You found the address?" " Oh, I found it." "Then you mustn't have found the people there." "No, I did." "I found rude people." " What?" "The lady next door replied by shutting the door in my face." ""I don't know."" "If one has to learn how to be insulting.." "..one should learn it from citizens of Pune." "One moment, Ma'am!" "For an ideal homemaker, this is a busy time.." "..at least in our Pune." "It's a very natural thing at such a time.." "..to leave aside what one is doing.." "..and go insult the person at the door, Ma'am." "Right?" " Right." "Okay, what have you decided to do now?" "Why would I do anything about the neighbours?" "What have you decided to do now?" "How is that your concern?" "Hey.." "I'm asking you out of chivalry.." "..and you're insulting me?" "We Puneites have culture bred into us." "You talk so much!" "Don't you run out of breath?" "Made in Pune." "Is there a coffee shop.." "..or something of the sort around here?" "A coffee shop?" "There are 70 here in Pune." "Go straight ahead from here." "Turn to the lower end." "Then when you get to the upper end.." "One moment." "I'll manage." "Thanks." "One moment!" "Let's do one thing." "Come here, Chhotya." "Go drop the lady off at the coffee shop." "Chhotya?" "Get lost." "It's my turn to bat there!" "Go yourself." "Here, take your mobile." "And come back soon, got it?" "Otherwise, you keep whining to get a second chance to bat." "Chhotya!" "Auto rickshaw!" "Auto.." "Shall I drop you off?" "Shall I drop you off at the coffee shop?" "Are you flirting?" " Flirting?" "Impossible." "I am a well-cultured guy." "How can I leave a girl alone looking for.." "..an address in such a hot day?" "This is against my principal." "We are from Pune." "Okay, okay." "The option isn't bad." "No looking for the address, and no missing it." "That's right." "Please, keep this mobile in your handbag." "Don't you wear a helmet?" "Men don't wear a helmet, and definitely not in Pune." "Please, sit properly." "And hold on." "Thanks." "I never thought there would be.." "..such a lack of gratitude among Mumbaites." "What do you mean?" "I helped you in finding an address in such a hot day and.." "..you don't even thank me in return?" "This is called ungratefulness." "Are you sure?" " 100%." "It's ungratefulness." "No, not about that." "Are you sure you're not flirting with me?" "This is culture." "If a cultured boy such as me.." "..shows the way to a girl who has lost her way.." "I understand." "I understand." "Oh, no!" "The charging unit is off." "The mobile is now an addiction rather than a necessity." "Who made that statement?" " Me." "Would you tell me what exactly is your problem?" "I've come to have a look at a prospective suitor." "What's there to laugh at?" "Can only boys look prospective brides over?" "Can't girls look prospective grooms over?" "I just asked because girls these days.." "..look boys over for everything except marriage." "Anyway, did you like the boy?" "I told you, I didn't meet him." "I met his neighbours, and they were rude." "What are you worried about?" "That boy's number is in my cellphone.." "..and the cellphone's battery is low." "What are you saying?" "You don't have the number memorised?" "That's why I'm going to have to wait here until evening." "To refuse him?" "How do you know that?" "I overheard you talking on the phone a while back." "You were eavesdropping on my conversation?" "Eavesdropping?" "What's the need for that?" "You've been speaking so loudly until now.." "..that even people on Parvati Hill can hear you." "Why would I try to eavesdrop?" "How can I help you?" "Do one thing." "One cold coffee with ice cream." " Okay." "And a corn and spinach sandwich and put cheese in the middle.." "..and grill it on both sides, okay?" " Okay." "Grill it on both sides and.." " Okay." "What would you like to have?" " Thanks." "Yes, Sir." " One latte." " Yes, Ma'am." "Give the mustard sauce separately." "Yes." "Why are you so annoyed that the mobile isn't working?" "How would I not be?" "My whole day is going to be wasted because of that boy." "Just forget about him." "Don't take a shot to your head needlessly." "A shot to my head?" "You just have to refuse him, right?" "You didn't meet him." "Fine." "Just leave." "Send him an SMS afterwards." "You Mumbai girls are strange." "You go along for coffee.." "..with an unknown boy you've just met twice." "But you can't forget about a boy you haven't even met?" "Hello!" "It wasn't two meetings." "I asked you the address the first time and the second time.." "You came after me." "What?" "I came after you?" " Yes, of course." "You mean to say that I'm following you?" " It could be." "I decided that instead of roaming around.." "..with some unseemly fellow in this strange city.." "..a fellow who is following me is preferable." "Wow!" "That's great logic." "Whatever you're saying is probably right." "Hey, Ma'am!" "If need arises we have to treat even a donkey like a king." "Did you say something to me?" " I'm talking about that boy." "So, when is the wedding date fixed for?" "It's not fixed, okay?" "Thank you." " Thank you, Ma'am." "I basically don't agree with such things." "You probably don't let yourself agree with them." "That may be." "But the thing is that marriage, parents-in-law.." "I just don't trust this institution." "What does trust have to do with it?" "It's our culture." "How many years are we going to go on saying that?" "I mean, just look.." "I don't even know what the boy looks like." "My mother's friend gave me his number." "My mother sent him my photograph without asking me." "And that smarty.." "..looked at my photograph and consented to marry me!" "You're right." "How could he consent just like that?" "He approved on just seeing a photograph?" "He should have personally met you and spoken to you." "Exactly." "That's what I didn't like about him." "Did you notice it?" "After so long, we've agreed on something." "Ma'am, mustard sauce!" "And moreover, since he's from Pune.." "..I didn't even feel like meeting him." "What?" " He's from Pune, you know." "Hey.." "What do you mean by "from Pune"." "Explain it!" "I mean, I'm from Mumbai, and he's from.." "Pune." "From Pune!" " "From Pune!" What do you mean?" "Pune boys are smarter than Mumbai boys." "It's etched in rock." "Only Pune boys decide that." "What's there to decide?" "It's a universal truth." "Pune boys go to Mumbai and make a mark for themselves." "Yes, because there's no scope in Pune.." "..for them to make a mark for themselves." "They have to come over to Mumbai." "There are reasons for that too, understand?" "A lack of intelligence and smartness.." "..has begun to make itself felt in Mumbai." "Understand?" "You don't get such a simple thing, dear." "Dear?" "!" "Yuck." " What Yuck." "What's there to turn your nose up at?" "It's for this intelligence that your mother.." "..has selected a Pune boy for you." "My mother may select 10 boys, but I have to approve." "That's your problem, not Pune's." "The problem is in Pune boys, got it?" "How you all speak." "What.. what was that you said?" ""The upper end." "The lower end." Shucks." "We use the original Marathi language." "Not like you folks with your mingling of several languages." "We don't have Mumbai's sort of confusion here." "Got it?" "Our language is uncorrupted and clear." "Our language, and our thoughts too." "What clear language and uncorrupted thoughts?" "Just a while back, I saw a board outside a door." "'Half a litre.' What is that?" "What?" "Half a litre for whom?" "What?" "That's a matter of Pune's management." "You won't understand." "Management?" " Yes." "Management." "Man-to-man management." "The thing is that the person the message is meant for.." "..understands it perfectly, and acts on it accordingly." "We Pune folks talk less." "We talk less, restrained and to the point." "Those who have brains understand the point perfectly." "One moment." "I haven't finished yet." "You just brought up the topic of boards, right?" "'Puneri patya' (Pune's boards)." "Not Mumbai nor Pune.." "..nor Maharashtra nor the country nor abroad.." "Do you know how to use the internet?" "How much you talk?" "Don't you run out of breath?" "Made in Pune." "Made in Pune!" "Thank you." "You Puneites live in a different world." "And independent Pune." "Okay, I'll be off now." "I have to get back to bat." "Hello!" "I'll just be paying for my coffee." "Why?" " What do you mean by that?" "I mean that I don't have any money!" " What?" "How can that be?" " Why can't it?" "I was playing cricket." "You came asking for the address." "So?" " So.." "How was I to know that all this would happen?" "I don't have any money with me." "This is the money for my coffee." "Please, pay for mine now." "I'll pay you back later." "What do you mean by 'later'?" "By later, I mean I'll pay in 10 minutes or so." "How?" " How?" "How do I tell you that?" "I mean that I have an ATM card." "Do you have money in your account?" "I have!" "I have money in the account!" "How much you harp on about money." "One moment." "Money, money.." "Take this." "Until I give you the money.." "..keep this watch of mine." "Take it!" "Darn Mumbai girls!" "They don't trust anyone." "What?" " You're giving me the watch, right?" "Here is the money." "Now you have to pay me Rs.17." "And first, hand me my watch." "By God, I came to drop you off at CCD out of basic humanity.." "..and you even charged me for the coffee." "You're very particular about your accounts." " Rs.20." "Here." "You must be a chartered accountant." "I'm a fashion designer." " What?" "Oh, I see." "Okay." "So that's what that 32-24-36 chit was about." "That's it, right?" "Not bad." "The measurements on that paper were of a client of mine." "No, I guessed that." "Anyway, what do you think of Pune fashion?" "It's very outdated." "Hey!" "What did you say?" "Pune isn't really mature in matters of fashion.." "..and definitely not as much as Mumbai." "And there's no originality in Pune." "One moment, one moment." "See this?" "Do you know what this is called?" "'Bigbaali' (traditional ear-piercing)." "Do you know the first reaction if one sees.." "..a man wearing a 'bigbaali' anywhere in the world?" ""Great." "You seem to be from Pune."" "Do you know the first reaction if one sees a man.." "..in a 'dhoti' (long loincloth) and coat in your Mumbai?" ""Great, the gentleman seems to be from Pune."" "Pune's fashion gets one respect and recognition." "It also gains attention." "What does your Mumbai have that it can call its own?" "Sorry?" " You should be." "Kolhapur is famous for its slippers.." "..Nagpur for its oranges, Pune for its majestic attitude." "What does your Mumbai have that it can claim as its own?" "The sea?" "A saltwater one?" "Other than the Western culture.." "..you all have nothing you can claim as your own." "Well?" "Have you been left speechless because I argued?" "Are you a virgin?" "Tell me." "Are you a virgin?" "Hey!" "What sort of a question is that?" "Oh, so nothing yet?" " That's not it." "So there is?" " That's not it." "Hey!" "I mean, I tried once." "Just once!" "To get close to a girl." " Just close?" "Very close." " And then?" "Then.." "She got scared and began to cry." "Why?" " How would I know why?" "What do you mean?" "She started to cry for no reason.." "..without you having done anything?" " Yes!" "What did you do then?" "What could I do?" "I got scared too." "I started to cry." "I told her, "Go on home."" "Shucks." "What do you mean?" "This is called good breeding." "I didn't lay hands on the girl!" "Understand?" "No way." "If you don't understand.." "..how to make the most of that delicate person and moment.." "..that comes before you, then what's the good of it?" "Of course, you can talk big!" "In fact, I think that you must have gone.." "..quite the length in this matter." "What do you mean?" " What do I mean?" "I mean that you must have a PhD in this subject." "Hey, what are you saying?" "Come on!" "It's the year 2010, and nothing?" "And moreover, you're from Mumbai." "It's impossible." "No way." " What do you mean?" "We have kissed each other." "But that happens." "Right?" "Does your family know?" "Well?" "What girl would tell her family such things?" "Why?" "Isn't that done in your Western culture?" "No." "My family-members are very straightforward." "My father's job requires him to travel.." "..and my mother is a homemaker." "Then how come you're like this?" " What?" "Why don't you stay with your father?" "How is that your concern?" "Didn't I just tell you.." " We stay with my uncle." "My father insists that his daughter must be educated in one city." "So there are no restrictions, right?" "That doesn't mean I'm out of control, okay?" "What's his name?" "Yashwantrao." "I call him 'dada' ('brother' as well as 'father')." "What?" "You call the guy you kiss.. 'dada'?" "I'm talking about my uncle!" "That's why I wondered." "You and Yashwantrao!" "Sorry, sorry." "What's his name?" "Whose?" " His." "Come on, tell me." "Tell me his name." "There's actually no reason for me to tell you." "Arnav." "We met while doing the fashion designing course." "Arnav?" "It's a good name." "And for this Arnav, you're refusing a boy from my Pune?" "Is at least that the real fact?" "What?" "The reason for the refusal, or Arnav?" " Both." "Yes!" "That!" "That's the difference between Mumbai and Pune." "I got scared." "I was frightened." "I escorted that girl safely to her home." "And you?" "You've kept your family in the dark!" "Hello!" "That's what you think." "My mother knows all about it." "All?" "Or all about Arnav?" " All about Arnav." "Please." "I wouldn't let just anyone go around with me." "Despite being from Mumbai?" "It's because I'm from Mumbai that I'm wasting a whole day.." "..to convey a refusal with propriety." "What?" "Wasting?" " Obviously." "All right." "Doing things other than what one has come for.." "..is called wasting time, at least in my Mumbai." "Come on, let's go see whether your gallant has arrived." "Once I drop you off there, you'll be free and so will I." "If he has arrived, he'll wait." "Let him also wait for me." "What's this now?" " Yes." "Isn't it right?" "Now, he should come to me and propose." "Then I'll decide what to do." "I came all this way for him." "But now, I'll meet him at my convenience." "And won't time be wasted this way?" "I've anyway wasted so much time." "What difference does a bit more make?" "You can waste time." "I'm leaving." "I have to get back there to bat." "Okay." "Bye." " Bye." "Hey, isn't something called Saras Baug around here?" "What?" "What did you say?" "Something called Saras Baug is around here, right?" "Not something called Saras Baug!" "It's Saras Baug." "Speak of Saras Baug with pride, all right?" "What happened?" "Pride is essential." "Saras Baug!" "Shall I speak?" "Is it near here?" "I've heard a lot from my mother.." "..about the temple of Lord Ganesh (Hindu deity) there." "I thought I should go see what the gardens of Pune look like." "No matter how hard you search.." "..you won't find greenery like Pune's anywhere else." "Great." "Apparently you possess that quality too." "Very good." "Hey, I wasn't talking about them!" "What a girl she is!" "She'll provoke a fight no matter what." "Hello!" "Sorry." "Thank you." "This is Saras Baug." "Not something called Saras Baug." "Why don't you call Arnav and ask him to come here?" "If you had called him this morning.." "..he would have already arrived here." "Why should I call Arnav?" "To give you company." "If you're tired of my company, you can leave." "Hey!" "Hey.." "Hey!" "Tell me, when did I say that?" "You just said that, right?" " What?" "That I should have called Arnav here." "What a headache this is." "Hello!" "If it's causing you such a headache, you should leave." "I'll go on." "Can't you talk straight?" " You still have doubts?" "How does that Arnav manage to abide you?" "He's going to endure every punishment and torment.." "..to its utmost as life imprisonment in this lifetime." "One doesn't attain salvation without suffering." "Really?" "Then what of your soul's salvation?" "Or will it remain like this?" "Discontented?" "Of course not." "It will attain salvation." "When is it going to suffer?" " What am I doing now?" "Are you generally in such a hurry?" " Why?" "I asked because you're eating so fast." "I still have to get back there to bat." "The boys must be waiting." " What?" "They must be waiting." "So, what did you think of our Saras Baug's 'bhel' (snack)?" "It's all right." " What do you mean?" "I mean that it was nothing great." "What sort of an answer is that?" "You respond like you're dissatisfied.." "..even after having such delicious 'bhel'." "But I find it just all right." "Is there some rule.." "..that the 'bhel' must be praised because it's of Pune?" "Has some board been put up around here.." "..that says 'Declare Pune's 'bhel' delicious'?" "But what's the insecurity in saying.." "..that something good is good?" "It's not even remotely a matter of insecurity." "Here, hold this for a moment." "Here." "The thing is that some dishes can be best enjoyed.." "..when they are had at a suitable place." "What new idea is this?" " It's nothing new." "Look, 'idli-vadas', 'dosas', 'uttapam' (delicacies).." "These dishes taste great in South Indian restaurants." "That may be the way of things in your Mumbai." "It's not in Pune." "Overconfidence." "It's not even remotely a matter of overconfidence." "What does this 'bhel' have to do with a place?" "'Bhel' is 'bhel', prepared with.." "..'shev' (snack), puffed rice, onions and chutney. 'Bhel'." "I didn't think there would be such lack of interest in Pune." "But it's not really your fault." "There's no sea here, after all." "What do you mean?" "Tell me, what do you mean?" "Ignorance." " Ignorance?" "Yes, ignorance." " What do you mean?" "Actually, things like 'shev', 'bhel-puri' and 'pani-puri'.." "..are meant to be eaten at the seaside." "But what can be done?" "Pune has everything." "It just lacks the sea." "One moment!" "Does Mumbai have a Tulsi Baug?" " What?" "I got you!" "This is ignorance." "In your Mumbai, one may find the sea.." "..the 'Mantralaya' (Secretariat).." "..and the Atomic Research Centre, but not Tulsi Baug!" "Why?" "What's so special about Tulsi Baug?" "There's nothing that can't be found in our Tulsi Baug." "There's jewellery that glitters like Mumbai's sea.." "..the grandeur of chants.." "The jewellery there has been made.." "..with perhaps greater care than the scientists.." "..at the Atomic Research Centre exercise." "After a few years, there may possibly be.." "..no lions to be found in the African jungle." "But.." "Tulsi Baug will still be in Pune." "Wow." "The art of covering for the shortcomings.." "..of one's city is worth learning." "Shortcomings?" "What shortcomings?" "How is it a shortcoming to preserve our culture?" "Tell me.." "Tell me, in all this while.." "..that you've been roaming around with me.." "..have you even once felt insecure?" "Did you think even once that I'd cross the bounds of decency?" "No, tell me." "Tell me!" "And even if I did, was there any option?" "What do you mean?" " I don't have another option." "The one I have is this." "One has to make do." " Enough!" "Enough, enough." "Now, you've hurt my self-respect." "I won't hear anymore." "I'm leaving!" "Yes, you still have to get back to bat, right?" "Go on." "Bye." "Yes, I'm going." "But keep one thing in mind!" "In this world, only three things are self-existent." "One is the 12 'jyotirlingas' (12 Hindu holy places).." "..the second is the 'Ashtavinayak Ganpati' (eight Hindu holy places).." "Hey, look here!" "And the third is the self-respect of Puneites." "I won't listen!" "First, after I dropped her off all the way at CCD.." "..she asked for money." "Thank God I had my ATM card with me." "But what would I have done if I hadn't had it?" "No.." "But there was no appreciation for the fact.." "..that I dropped her off where she wanted to go." "All these problems happen because of that." "That's what holds us back." "What is it?" "What happened?" "Our culture doesn't permit us." " What?" "I mean that our culture doesn't permit us.." "..to leave a girl all by herself in a city unknown to her." "When we stand by someone, it's to the end." "Even if the lion dies, we'll still hold the fort." "I know." "I know the culture of Puneite boys." "Impossible." "What would a girl who doesn't even know.." "..of Tulsi Baug know of Pune's culture?" "Arnav is from Pune." "Tulsi Baug is quite some distance from here, isn't it?" "She left!" "Hey.." "Wait!" "Is this of brass?" " Yes." "It's brass." "That's brass too." "Wow." "Is this made entirely of brass?" " It's all brass." "Let me have a look." "It's heavy." "Very heavy." "Careful." "It's very heavy." "Wow." "It's nice." "How much is it for?" " It's Rs.5,000." "Rs.5,000?" "Please, reduce it a bit." "It can't be reduced, Ma'am." "The rates here are reasonable, you see." "Everyone says that, Sir." " Just look at her!" "That's true." "But we can't afford it." "No, no." "I asked because I love it." " Yes." "I came all this way from Mumbai to get it, Sir." "Yes." "But we can't afford it, you see." "I've been looking for you all over the place!" "What are you doing here?" " No, thanks." "It was such a terrific piece." "Don't the shopkeepers in Pune reduce prices?" "Why should he?" "Why should he reduce the price for his hard work?" "So, is my money earned by idling?" "I too save my hard-earned money." "Tell me, what's the economic capital of our country?" "Mumbai, right?" "And you're from Mumbai." "So, being a Mumbai girl, why do you quibble so much.." "..for a bit of money?" "Pay him." "Your Pune was the seat of the Peshwa regime, wasn't it?" "Ask that fellow to reduce the price." "Will you kill the shopkeeper over a bit of money?" "It's not a matter of killing." "Money is money." "Everyone tries to save on that." "By while you were carping about money.." "..what if you had gotten lost somewhere?" "You saw what a crowd there is in our Tulsi Baug, didn't you?" "A crowd?" "You're trying to scare a Mumbai girl with Pune's crowds?" "Oh, come on." "A crowd is a crowd." "What do Mumbai or Pune have to do with it?" "Am I a child to get lost in a crowd?" "What sort of girl are you?" "You were arguing with that shopkeeper two minutes ago.." "..and now you're fighting with me?" "It's not a matter of arguing." "Just get convinced." "Say that money is money, and it should be saved." "I concede." "I concede to you." "Once you get married you'll save your husband a lot of money." "Hello!" "He'll save his money, I'll save mine." "What happened?" "What happened?" "Why are you staring like that?" "I just can't believe that you could fall in love." "No way." "What does falling in love have to with saving money?" "Nothing." "It has nothing to do with it." "But I'm just wondering how a fierce and abrasive girl.." "..such as you can fall in love." "One can't sustain oneself on love." "And it's all very well to talk about "fierce and abrasive".." "..but does loving dearly make one less hungry?" "I'm starving." "I'm starving." "The 'bhel' we had a while back wasn't enough." "I'm having a lot of acidity." " You're suffering from acidity?" "Come on then." "Chitale's shop is nearby." "Let's go have fantastic chilled milk." "Milk?" " Hey, don't say it like it." "It's milk." "One can make do with milk that's from.." "..neither a cow nor a buffalo, but it should be from Chitale's." "But.." " No!" "I won't hear a word." "I'm proud." "Pride." "Milk." "Look, if you don't want to have it, don't." "But I'm going to have it." "Yes, you may." "Hello, Mother." "It's me here." "I reached here on time this morning." "When I went to that address, the house was locked." "How do I see him now?" "I have that number on my cellphone.." "..and the battery is low.#" "Mother, I'm not making excuses." "I'm telling the truth!" "#" "The cellphone isn't working." "How is that my fault?" "#" "Mother, if I didn't intend it.." "..would I have come all this way?" "And I'll be going there this evening to convey my refusal." "Listen, listen.." "By refusal, I mean.." "I'll just be telling him.." "..that there's no need for a hurry right now." "All right?" "Mother, don't you trust me?" "That's what I'm waiting here for, right?" "All right, wait." "Tell me." "Tell me the number." "I'll give him a call." "And don't worry all the way there, Mother." "Yes, tell me." "Yes. 09.." "Yes." "Yes, Mother." "I'll give him a call." "Yes, I'll definitely give him a call." "You.." "Okay." "Bye." "Bye." "Bye." "How much is it?" " Rs.2." "Thanks." "Chitale's 'aamba-barfi' and 'bakarwadis' (delicacies)." "Take it." " I don't want it." "Try them." "They are a symbol of our Pune's culture." "Within two hours of the shop opening.." "..there's a board outside that the 'bakarwadis' are sold out." "Didn't I say I don't want it?" "What happened?" "You look the way a batsman would.." "..if the umpire were to wrongly declare him out.." "..when one ball is wanted off two balls." "Who were you talking to?" "Arnav?" "Please, will you stop this nonsense?" "Please?" "I want some peace." "I don't understand just what's going on." "With whom?" " With me." "Things are going rather well, aren't they?" "That's what you think." "Rather, everyone thinks so." "What do you mean?" "Things are indeed going well, right?" "I have no idea how to behave." " With whom?" "May I speak?" "All by yourself?" " It looks like it." "Okay." "You know.." "..there's a huge drawback of coming to such places." "When we come to such places.." "..we think a little too much about ourselves, don't we?" "We don't think so." "That's your problem." "You're a Mumbaite." "Where would Mumbaites such as you.." "..get to experience nature?" "There are always.." "..buildings commotion, crowds, people all around you." "Have a look at this!" "This is true nature." "And this nature is a shouting distance away for us." "So when we come here, we don't end up.." "..feeling uneasy and getting into thought." "But it's natural for you folks to feel that way." "You never feel uneasy?" " Never." "Definitely?" " What do you mean?" "Of course, definitely." "Then what happened a while back at the Tulsi Baug?" "What happened?" " You tell me what happened." "At the Tulsi Baug.." "You got lost in the crowd." "That's all?" "That's it?" " Yes." "Seeing that I wasn't with you, didn't you get uneasy?" "Uneasy?" "You weren't troubled at not finding me?" " No, I wasn't." "Sure?" " What does that have to do with anything?" "You really weren't troubled at not finding me?" "What are you so insistent on this point for?" "You really didn't get uneasy?" "How many times must I repeat the same thing?" "I didn't." "I didn't." "You're such a tricky fellow." "You never show what you feel." "What you say is never what you feel." "The intentions, the words and.." "..the thoughts have nothing to so with each other." "You're always playing, aren't you?" "With whom?" " With yourself." "You take the other person's help to create.." "..such an ambience that no one can get to your heart." "Okay, I'll be leaving now." " You're running away." "Tell me." "When I wasn't with you at the Tulsi Baug.." "..you got uneasy." "What was that all about?" "Oh, come on." "Why are you carping on and on.." "..about Tulsi Baug like it's the point of Kannada Marathi?" "You're stuck on that point!" "I had.." "I was troubled." "Satisfied?" "No, not to change the topic." "Don't say it that way, please." "But what do you want to prove?" "The falseness in you." " False.." "Hey!" "I'm not a liar!" "I was troubled!" "I was trouble." "I got uneasy." "But.. but I was responsible for you today." "That's why I.." "What if something had happened to you?" "I mean, regardless of whether it's Mumbai or Pune.." "I would have been at fault.." "..if you had gotten lost somewhere." "I would have gotten uneasy just this way.." "Wow." "We agree in our opinion about Mumbai and Pune." "Impossible." "It's impossible for us to agree on an opinion!" "But you, yourself, said this morning at the coffee shop.." "..that we were of the same opinion!" "That was my opinion, not my decision." "I don't like girls such as you." "What do you mean?" "I mean, I don't like them." "Lend me a hand!" "Thank you." "Yes, what were you saying?" "You don't like girls such as me?" "Girls with your sort of temperament." "Changing from one moment to the next." "I don't like that sort of temperament." "What sort of girls do you like then?" "The ones who get scared when you come close?" "Ones who cry?" "That wasn't her temperament!" "The situation was such." "It was the first experience, for us both." "And one does get scared the first time." "I see." "One doesn't get scared the second time?" "The second time.." "What about the second time?" "The second.." "The second time, the girl.." "Was she a different one?" "What do you mean by that?" "Do you think I'm a flirt?" "Tell me her name." "Whose?" " The second girl's." "What's in a name?" "Names are names." "My name, your name, her name.." "Hey, what's your name?" " Don't change the topic." "Tell me her name." "Tell me her name." "What's so important about a name?" "See?" "You asked everything about me.." "..but you won't tell me anything about yourself." "That's why I called you a liar!" "You really are a liar." "Sungchi." " What happened?" "Sungchi." " What's that?" "The name." "Of what?" "The second girl's name." "But she was my first true love." "Sungchi!" "Why?" "What's there to laugh so much about?" "Do people in your Mumbai find out the other person's name.." "..and then decide whether to fall in love?" "No." "Sorry, sorry." "Truly sorry." "No.." "I mean, I assumed you had a girlfriend." "I had even guessed some names for her." "I mean.." "Supriya, Vaidehi, Madhuri.." "Suzanne, for that matter." "But.." "Sungchi!" "Sorry." "Sorry." "Where did you meet her?" "Where did you meet Sungchi?" "In Pune itself." "She was Japanese." " I got that." "What was she like?" "She was wonderful." "Her sweet little eyes, a pert little nose.." "..those lips and their pout." "It wasn't cosmetic, all right?" "It was natural." "Some friends of mine had a room in Koregaon Park." "She stayed in the room across." "We would see other in passing." "Then one day, we met." "You must have met up with her on some pretext, right?" "That I wanted to learn Japanese." "So, what did she say?" " She said, "Teach me Sanskrit."" "Great." "What then?" "What then?" "First Japanese, then Sanskrit." "And then Marathi." " Marathi too?" "Would I have let that be?" "Who fell in love?" "We both fell in love with each other." " How sweet." "But she was more in love with my poems than with me." "What?" "Poems?" "Why?" "Can't Puneite boys write poetry?" "No, that's not it." "But she was Japanese, the poems were in Marathi.." "Difficult to understand, right?" "No." "Because poems aren't meant to be understood." "What are meant to be understood are the feelings." "Will you recite one to me?"

"Who exactly is in your system?" "Sung Chi or poetry?" "Both." "Cool." "You really sing very well." "But is she really so beautiful.." "..that you see her in everything around you?" "Heavy stuff." "She's fat?" "It's okay." "Love is love." "Love knows no shape." "Heavy stuff means solid." "Heavy." " I see." " Yes." "Heavy means solid." "Solid?" "Were you making fun of me?" " No." "Are you making fun of me?" " I swear wasn't." "I swear." "You know what?" "You don't get to see such guys." "What do you mean?" "I mean guys who make poetry for their girlfriends.." "..write songs for them." "What's their inspiration?" "What inspires them?" "I really don't know." "It's amazing." "May I also say something?" " Yes." "There aren't any beautiful girls around.." "..for whom one can think of a song or write poetry." "These days, girls ask about the guy's income first." "Emotions, attachment come later on." "What's wrong about that?" "This morning we went to the coffee shop." "You didn't bring any money." "What would have happened if I didn't have any money either?" "What would we have done?" "We would have ended up washing dishes." "Why are you taunting me with that incident?" "I'm just giving an example." "Besides, everyone is looking for security." "It's all right that you do poetry." "You write good poetry." "You might have written songs for Sung Chi, but.." "Don't you need to eat?" "Are you suffering from bulimia?" "You're always talking about food." "It's not like that." "But Sung Chi must have asked you.." "..about your education about your future plans." "What are your future plans?" "It's obvious." "When you look at me, what impression do you get?" "How educated am I. Who am I?" "No." "No." "Don't say anything." "Don't guess." "I'll get insulted again." "Are you telling me who you are and what you do?" "I'm a MR." " Mentally retarded?" "That's a Class III joke." "Doesn't matter." "I like it." "Where do you work?" "Slavery is not in my blood." " Made in Pune." "I wanted to be a sportsman." "Cricket?" " Yes." "Parents said first complete your graduation." "Then told me to get a job." "And then?" " Rebellion." "I said I can't do it." "We quarrelled." "Still do." "But that's very common." "Mumbai or Pune." "Doesn't make a difference." "Did you marry Sung Chi?" "No." "Why?" "Didn't work out." "Why is that?" "Did she get scared as well?" "Started crying?" "What do you do to these girls?" "It's nothing like that." "I know." "I know." "But you might not have looked at any other girl after Sung Chi." "I think you're too loyal to your emotions." "I don't know why." "But I didn't find any other girl like her." "Or you didn't look for one?" "Do you really find such people if you go looking for them?" "What an irony." "Shoes, footwear, clothes are available as per size." "If not, you can get them made." "But you don't get those things." "Right?" "You don't look like an extremely emotional person." "Tell me." "How is Arnav?" "Shall we leave?" "You're running away." "No." "We'll be late." "Are you firm on your refusal or have you changed your mind?" "Why would I change my mind?" "How would I know?" "You have a very strange nature." "You're avoiding speaking about Arnav." "You said one thing when we met." "Now you're saying something different." "So strange." "When we reach Hridaymardam's house in an hour.." "..you'll say you'll marry him." "You're more worried about my marriage than I am." "What's the harm?" "Tell me." "What's the harm?" "If Hridaymardam has a really good nature.." "..then what's the harm in marrying him?" "Listen." "Besides, you came here from Mumbai to meet him, right?" "Does Arnav know?" " Will you please shut up?" "Do you have to joke about everything?" "This is great." "All this while you were making fun of me." "That's justified." "And when I make fun of you, you're like.." ""Will you shut up?"" "Okay." "Fine." "Fine." "I'm sorry." "There's no question of saying sorry." "You can talk non-stop without thinking about.." "..the state of mind of the person with you." "Nonsense." "Just a minute." "Stop!" "What do you think of yourself?" "If you don't tell me about your problem, how will I know?" "We met each other just a couple of hours ago." "What do you expect?" "I should read your mind immediately." "No." "No." "I'd be wrong if I expect that." "All guys are the same." "I came here to find some peace." "Instead, coming here has hurt me further." "Hold it!" "What rubbish are you talking about?" "You're accusing me directly." "You're insulting me." "Shut up." "Nonsense." "You can't say anything you like." "Do you think about other people's state of mind?" "Tell me." "You can do everything." "You can make fun and insult others." "But if someone else does that to you.." "..you get angry immediately." "You must be dominating Arnav like this." "I'm going to meet Hridaymardam.." "..and tell him not to marry this girl." "He'll regret it all his life." "Come.." "She's crying?" "I'm done for." "Don't cry." "Don't cry." "I was just joking." "I.." "I don't even have a kerchief." "Don't cry." "Don't cry." "I.." "I was just joking." "Listen.." "He's gone." "Don't cry." "I was just joking." "I say.." "Listen to me." "Look." "I swear I was just joking." "Face me." "Turn around." "Please face me." "Just once." "Look." "Get rid of your tear." "Get rid of them." "You know my nature." "I speak nonsense." "We were together for almost five hours." "You know me enough." "I swear I didn't mean it." "I was just joking." "That's what everyone says after they've had their say." "Everyone?" " I mean everyone." "Including Arnav." "That's why you.." "Hey, listen." "Listen." "Such quarrels are quite common among couples." "And.." "I thought.." "Thank God." "Okay." "Okay." "Now tell me." "Who do we quarrel with?" "Answer me." "Who do we quarrel with?" "I can quarrel with anyone." "Let me show you." "Hey!" "Hey!" "Come here!" "Come here!" "Who are you calling?" " The one who just passed us by." "Come here!" "Come here!" "No!" " What are you looking at?" " No." "Go on." "Go on." "Don't listen to her." " Let me show you how I quarrel." "Go on." "Go." " Come here." " Go on." "Go." "Go on." " Let me quarrel.." "Are you crazy?" "How can you quarrel with strangers?" "You asked who we quarrel with." "I was showing you." "I asked a basic question." "Give me a basic answer." "Who do we quarrel with?" " With anyone." "Anyone with whom we don't agree." " Yes." "Who do we go to convince and get convinced?" "Tell me." "Are you taking a verbal test?" "Come on, answer me." "I don't know." "I haven't thought about it." "I'll tell you." "Our loved ones." "We quarrel with a person who we feel should never leave us.." "..or with a person who when leaves us we feel hurt." "Right?" " Maybe." "Which of these feelings do you have in your heart?" "I.." "I don't know." "So why are you telling me?" "To pacify you." "Doesn't Arnav talk to you to pacify you?" "No." "Arnav is no longer a part of my life." "Arnav was never able to manage the balance in our relationship." "We'd quarrel a lot." "If I got angry, he'd turn his back and leave." "We'd quarrel a lot." "He never understood the fun in quarrelling and patching up." "And then we'd not call each for a couple of days." "Even if we did meet, we didn't talk." "Every time I'd go after him." "Even if it was his mistake, I'd pacify him." "I should plead to him." "How long could that go on?" "Then?" "Then what?" "One day, I turned my back on him." "I thought it's enough." "Not any more." "Enough is enough." "He didn't come to pacify me." "Forget it." "Listen.." " No." "It doesn't make any difference to me." "Yes.." " Don't get emotional." "No, I.." " And don't try to be sympathetic towards me please." "Yes, guys have this habit to lend a shoulder when girls cry." "They always lend a shoulder when a girl cries." "I don't need that." "I can handle myself." "Seriously." "It's too late." "Can we leave please?" "Just a minute." " What?" "Stop a minute." "Stop." "Stop a minute." " What happened?" "I think your cell-phone is ringing." " Let me see." "It got disconnected." "It was Chotya's call." "I still have to bat." "Hop on." "I'll call him later." "If you don't mind, can I make a call?" "Whom?" "Hridaymardam?" "Let me call and check whether he's back." "I'll ask him." "Okay." "Do one thing." "Make your call." "I'll be right back." "Didn't work." "Let me try once more." "Yes!" "And he bowls an in-swinger." "And he's bowled." "Here." "Take it." "So, made the call?" "No." "His number is busy." "You're trying his number and he might be trying yours." "That is fun." "I guess we should go there and check whether he's back." "Going by your eagerness, I feel.." "..you'll surely say yes to Hridaymardam." "How can you read people's minds?" "Take this." "Did you turn Sung Chi down or did she leave you?" "I told her she can go." "I can get many other girls." "And you won't look at any one of them." "I need to compliment you." "I have a great smile." "You look great when you smile." "Why did you leave her?" "I mean Sung Chi." "My parents were not in favour of our marriage." "I convinced them and they gave in for the sake of our love." "But Sung Chi placed a new condition." "She didn't want to live with my parents." "That's what she said." "And?" "And what?" "I said that's not done." " Why?" "It's a fashion these days." "Fashion?" " Yes, fashion." "Differences crop up after marriage." "There are quarrels." "Instead of living separately later on.." "..you should be ready to do it before marriage." "Be ready?" "You should be ready to live away from your parents?" "Of course." " For whom?" "For your family." " You should leave your family?" "You should leave your family to bring up another family?" "Parents work hard to bring up their son.." "..they educate him, give him a home." "And the son should leave them on a girl's bidding." "Doesn't the girl leave her family on the guy's bidding?" "That's a tradition." "If you follow that tradition, then why not this one?" "#" "Who does a girl trust when she leaves her home.." "..and goes to her husband's home?" "Her husband." "Her parents also worked hard to bring her up." "For the sake of this bargaining, why should I leave my parents?" "You don't leave them forever." "You can meet them during festivals and other such days." "I see." "After marriage, the wife gets full attention.." "..while the parents get only part of it." "It depends on how you look at it." "You girls do that quite expertly." "Did Arnav and you fight because of this?" "Yes, this too." " Okay." "But Arnav didn't have answers to questions asked to him." "What's my fault?" "And what about the questions asked to you?" "I haven't found answers to all the questions." "But I didn't fret about it." "I took a decision." "We parted ways." "Is that so easy?" "It's not difficult either." "Tell me." "We are in love." "When did that happen?" "I mean Sung Chi and you." "Arnav and I." "We are in love." " Yes." "You guys want to have your own way." "Not this dress." "Wear these jeans." "Kiss me right now." "What happens to love and culture then?" "What's wrong if girls want to have their own way?" "I think both are equally responsible for the problem." "I don't think so." "I can prove it." "Go ahead." " Okay." "What is a marriage?" "I don't know." "The problem starts here." "The concept might have changed these days.." "..but earlier marriage was a holy ceremony.." "..carried out with God as witness and the blessings of the elders." "Such costly affairs do happen today as well." "And then there was a concept called honeymoon." "It's still in practice." " Yes." "But these days, we get too close to each other before marriage.." "..and lose the sweetness in it." "Don't you think so?" "For instance." "It's fun when relationships blossom gradually." "The first touch during the honeymoon." "The first embrace." "Husband and wife in a room." " Two strangers." "Strangers." "I agree." "But they got to know each other after marriage." "The touching of hands while in a crowd." "Being shy." "Waiting for each other." "From the sneezing habit to the favourite food." "They got to know everything gradually." "That fun has been lost." "But if both the girl and guy.." "..sensibly and maturely come close to each other before marriage.." "..then what's the harm?" "I'll tell you what the harm is." "Earlier, out of 100 marriages around 10 or 20 would break down." "Mutual differences and what not." "But now, out of 100 marriages only 10 or 20 survive." "Eighty percent marriages are broken." "Do you know the reason?" "Because we don't let the relationships blossom." "We destroy the fun before they blossom." "Look, if you don't need these break-up and patch-ups.." "..then I say you shouldn't get married." "What do we do to know each other's habits.." "..from honeymoon to yawning to burps?" "Get married?" "So the bottom line is you won't get married." "You're confident that your favourite family and groom.." "..still don't exist or they will never come into being." "That's what you think." "You're imagining most of these things." "So why are you against marriage?" " Who?" " You." "When did I say that?" "A moment ago." "That's my opinion." "Not my decision." "What a strange girl." "I am like that." "I'll swim with the current." "I'll be responsible for surviving or drowning." "Do you at least believe in God?" "I believe in myself." "You love yourself so much." "That's not good." "Not bad either." "Isn't it better than loving someone else.." "..and getting your expectations destroyed?" "Now you sound like you belong to Pune." "Where's Dagdusheth Ganpati temple in Pune?" "What is Lord Ganesh doing here?" "You touched the topic of God and I was reminded of it." "But you believe in yourself." "But I didn't say I don't believe in God." "To the left is road to Pune station to the right is Hridaymardam." "Where do you want to go?" " That's all there is in Pune?" "There's lot more to Pune." "The time to go to Mumbai is near." "How about one last coffee?" "No." "We Punites aren't so miserly.." "..to have one coffee between two people." "We'll have two cups of coffee." "Who will pay the bill?" "Get down." "Who's your favourite hero?" "You." "I'm not a movie buff." "I love travelling." "Didn't Arnav take you around Pune?" "I'm sure he too was rattled by your nature." "What do you mean by "he too"?" " He too." "Okay." "Okay." "He too must have been rattled just like I am." "You didn't know how the day flew by, did you?" "I did." "I meant the day was wonderful." "So?" "What are you going to do about him?" "Why think about someone who is not part of my life?" "I'm talking about Hridaymardam." "So am I." "May I ask something?" "What happened?" "You want my permission?" "So much respect?" "That was unexpected." "It's a personal question." "So I took your permission." "I was raised with these values." "My.." "You must have guessed it, right?" "Shoot." "You can't forget Arnav.." "..and that's why you're refusing Hridaymardam, right?" "Yes." "Did you miss Arnav even once all day today?" "'1007, Pune-Mumbai Deccan Express..'" "'..is arriving on platform no.1 in a little while.'" "Your train will come in 20 minutes." "It's on time." "Okay." "Take this." "I've written down the reasons why I can't get married." " Yes." "Stick it on Hridaymardam's door." "Half litre." "Take it." "Your Pune has taught me a new form of communication." "Of course." "Pune is way ahead in education." "Nonsense." " Nonsense?" "It's no nonsense." "Pune is the home of education." "Pune has.." " I got it." "Pune." "Pune." "I hate this silence." "What silence?" "It's so crowded." "It's so noisy and don't forget the announcements." "Tell me." "Where do you hear silence?" "I warn you." "If I hold your hand, you'll start crying and get scared." "Thanks." "See you." " Again?" "Bye." " Bye." "Cell-phone." " Oh!" "Here." "Thank you." "Cell-phone is no longer a necessity." "It's an addiction." "Did you miss your cell-phone even once since morning?" "No." "But did you miss Arnav even once since morning?" "Still, you're going to go back." "Same here." "Okay." "Bye." "Give me your number." "I'll note it down." "Pen." "Pen." "Yes." "I'll give you my contact number." "You'll write it down on your palm." "And it will get washed away." "We're not going to meet again anyway." "Instead, remember this day." "What say?" " Well, okay." "And check your cell-phone as well." "You must have saved enough battery." " Yes, you're right." "Yes." "Call up or message Hridaymardam.." "..and tell him the reasons for not marrying him." "'Not interested.'" "Our half litre formula is the best." "Just check." "You might have missed calls and messages." "Just check." "He must also be trying your number." "He must be eager to know who and how she is." "How can you say he'll agree to marry me upon meeting me?" "Accidents do happen." "Some have this strange habit." "While walking straight, they intentionally fall in the ditch." "Made in Pune." "What's your name?" "Pune." "Wow!" "And yours?" "Mumbai." "Okay, bye." " Bye." "Hello." "Hi." "No, I just left." "Pune station." "I know." "I know." "We should have met.." "..but actually, I waited all day so.." "No." "I have 15 minutes before the train leaves." "Outside the station?" "Okay." "I'm coming." "Bye." "Hey!" "What are you doing here?" "What are you doing here?" "Just as you came to the grocer's to have a haircut.." "..so I came to the station for the ceremony." "You can't speak straight, can you?" "I was joking." "But why are you still here?" "What happened?" "I've been kicking the scooter." "It isn't starting." "Why?" "I took you around town since morning." "Ran out of fuel, I guess." "I didn't realize it." "You still have to bat, right?" "I can't bat now." "Chhotya called." "We lost the match as well." "Because I wasn't there." " I know." "So sad." "Anyway, bye." "Bye." "Ungrateful." "I was right." "You are ungrateful." "What's so ungrateful about it?" "Tell me." "Who did I come here for?" "I don't know who you came here for." "Yes." "I can say that you're here to drop me." "Isn't it true?" "So, I can't start my scooter." "I'm tired of kicking it." "I'm full of sweat and you're leaving." "I have a train to catch." "This is how you behaved at the coffee shop this morning." "You didn't even offer me water." "I paid your share of the bill." "Have you forgotten?" "I mortgaged my expensive watch in exchange." "I withdrew money from an ATM and gave you the money." "You forgot that." "We neither take nor give charity." "Values of Pune, you see." "I've seen your values." "Of course." "Pleasant, aren't they?" "I can see that." "I haven't forgotten the hot babes riding on your scooter." "It was nothing like that." "I'll repeat the same thing again." "I swear on Lord Ganesh that I was talking about Saras Park." "And what are you doing here instead of waiting at the platform?" "He called a while ago." "Arnav called?" "Have you both patched up?" "That's good news." "Congratulations." "Hridaymardam." "Oh, my God!" "You pronounced it right." "Amazing." "What did he say?" "He didn't say much." "He's coming here to meet me." "Asked me to wait outside." "And you're waiting for him?" "Yes." "Why?" "I still have ten minutes." "I thought it's no harm in meeting him." "Besides, that's why I came here." "And he sounded decent on the phone." "So?" "Looks like it's going to work out." "It's not as if it's going to work out." "I'm just meeting him." "Want to bet?" " What?" "You will agree to marry him." "Want to bet?" "I guessed right, didn't I?" "Didn't I?" "While we were at Sinhagarh I saw how eager you were." "I knew then that you'll say yes to him." "No." "I know your thoughts about marriage." "But at Lord Ganesh's temple you must have asked for Hridaymardam." "He heard your prayers." "Hail Lord Ganesh." "This is too much, okay?" "Because of your impudent behaviour Sung Chi must have left you." "Stay separately is just an excuse." "Sung Chi must have had some reason to leave." "But look at the eagerness to meet him on your face." "You were headed towards Mumbai but your feet brought you outside." "That's amazing." "Amazing." "Quiet." "Don't bug me, okay?" "Don't bug me?" "Great." "This is just great." "The Mumbai to Poona journey is testing my patience." "It's not Poona." "It's Pune." "Pride." "Pune." "Enough." "Pune." "Okay?" " Okay." "I say, introduce me to him when he comes." "Why?" "What do you mean why?" "You were able to forget Arnav.." "..because you travelled with be all day." "And because you forgot Arnav, you're meeting this gentleman." "What?" " No." "I'm your first friend in Pune." "I must get the credit of this marriage." "He's come." "He's come." "Look at your face." "You're so restless." "Instead, call him up and ask him where he is." "Well, his call drained my cell-phone battery." "Take my cell-phone." "Didn't you use my phone to a while ago?" " Actually." "The number next to yours in the list." "It must be in the dialled list." "Yes, a while ago.." "Same again." "It's engaged." "Anyway, I'm leaving." "The announcement has been made." "I'll have to run." "What if he comes?" "He'll come when he comes." "Should I wait until then?" "Our half litre formula is best." "Okay." "Bye." "Hold it." "Hold it." "How did you get my number?" "I never gave it to you." "That's not so important." "Just think." "How can you call a number you're calling from?" "You can't call a number you're calling from." "How is that possible?" "How stupid." "Nobody calls a number he is calling from." "Okay." "Bye." "Anyway." "You did." "Not once, but twice." "You called the number you were calling from." "You said if he comes to me and proposes.." "..only then will you decide." "I'm right in front of you." "Will you marry me?" "You asked my address to me." "I thought since it was just a coincidence.." "..I should use a new way of choosing a life partner." "Look." "Standing right in front of you." "Answer me." "Will you marry me?" "What?" "Well, it's not hurting anyway." " It doesn't?" "Are you crazy?" " You're so shameless." "Why are you hitting me?" "Sorry." "Sorry." "Sorry." "Why did you hit me?" "What was the need to do all that?" "What was the need?" "Didn't you insult Pune the moment we met?" "And my pride for Pune was hurt." "After marriage, will you still boast about your pride?" "Shouldn't I?" "Shouldn't I?" "And after marriage, you will have to be proud of Pune." "Because if we get married, you'll also be a Puneite." "If you want to become a Mumbaite.." "..then you'll have to agree to some conditions." "Okay?" "We'll see." " Yes." "If that is going to happen, then I'll need a prior confirmation." "What confirmation?" "What?" "That I'm going to be a Mumbaite." " Yes." "Yes." "Yes." "I'll talk to mother about it." "When are you going talk?" "Here's my phone." "Talk now." "I'll talk to her." "Am I afraid or what?" "It's just my mother." "I have to tell her that I met you, right?" "Here you are." "It's ringing." "Hello, Mother." "Yes, listen." "I.." "I'm still in Pune." "I.. met him." "Yes, Mother." "I met him." "Yes." "Yes." "I'm talking from his cell-phone." "Yes." "Mother, do I have to tell you everything on the phone?" "No, I'll tell you everything when I come home." "Okay?" "Bye." "Here." "She shied away." "Ma'am, you know that too?" "It's nothing." "Mother said something." "Mother said something." "May I say something?" "I know." " What?" "I look very beautiful when I shy away." "No." "You shy away beautifully." "Really." "What do you mean?" "I love you." "In Japanese." "Looks like Sung Chi taught you." "Don't worry." "I'll teach you." "But say it first." " What?" "I love you?" "Go away." " Go where?" "Just say it once." "I love you." "No." "Give me at least that much confirmation." "After I talk to mother." "Mother.." "Is your mother going to say "I love you"?" " Hey!" "Quiet." "That's my train." "I'm getting late." "Why are you angry again?" "Listen to me." "Listen." "We'll talk on the phone later." "But listen." "I'll definitely call you." "Listen to me first." "Go there." " I'll miss my train." "You're going to meet mother." ""I wonder why, at that moment, how I lose my heart."" ""How do these foggy feelings blossom?"" ""I feel playful."" ""These bonds of love are formed."" ""Sweet relationships for eternity.""
