"Priya, listen to me" "Let go of me" "You always do this, it's always other women" "I didn't mean to hurt you" "Every time you say the same thing" "You know how much I love you" "Please, listen to me" "I love you so much" "Cut!" "Kama, good for you'?" "Guys we'll do one more" "We got this shot right?" "We are running out of time, we don't have permission for the whole day..." "Kaira has a nice idea, we'll do one more" "What's the point of finishing on time if we don't get a good shot?" "Look, no respect for producers" "Especially these new cameraman... sorry... women" "Come on, hurry up, let's do this!" "Fatima, we are going to change the guy" "You want the other guy?" "He's got to look a little sexy" "Get the camera" "Cut!" "Got that?" "Fantastic!" "Superb execution!" "Good shot" "I shot it at 48 frames, speed up the end if you like" "I'm going to take a plate of the building now" "Saw the shot Raghuvendra?" "That one expression of the girl checking out the passing guy says so much" "I wish I had met Kaira earlier, I would have shot the whole film with her" "I got that" "It's a wrap guys!" "Thank you!" "Told you, don't have to carry my bag" "I'm so sorry" "Your mom called on my cellphone earlier... you never pick up yours... please call her back, before you take off" "I will, you enjoy your mini holiday" "You could have enjoyed Singapore with us... but you wanted to fly with someone else" "Shut up" "Go go" "I tried to upgrade you, couldn't do it" "Please" "Hi guys what can I get for you?" "Beer" " Coke" "Just Coke?" "I drink only on two occasions, when I am in love and when I am not" "Okay..." "Cheers!" "Kaira, everything okay?" "As in we're good right?" "What are you talking about, what happened to us?" "Cheers!" "Raghuvendra, I want to shoot an entire feature film... enough of this patchwork" "I mean I can't keep waiting for other cameramen to fall ill... no one will even know that I've shot this scene" "I want to shoot my own film" "You will" "Who wouldn't want to work with a hot DOP like you?" "Hot!" "Is that my only talent, seriously?" "Seriously" "Don't talk to me" "Of course you're talented..." "You are shooting so many ads... earning good money" "Ads and all are fine" "I want to shoot a film" "You will, you will, soon" "And you're so young, I mean... you wear zero number glasses to look older" "Excuse me?" "If actresses can be at their peak at a young age then why not technicians?" "Have you heard of the word 'Patience'?" "No I haven't, tell me about 'Patience'" "Pick up... pick up the cook's call... if you want I can just go and come back" "He is not a cook, he is the owner of a restaurant" "Not even a cook?" "That shot was your idea right?" "Girl with guy, checking out other guy?" "Inspired from life?" "Listen Kaira... you take my seat, I'll take yours..." "I can sit in Economy class, no need to sacrifice" "Your long legs won't fit in there anyway" "That is true" "It is very true" "Yes Mom, it was good" "Can't talk now, the plane is going to take off" "Bye!" "So... can I come up?" "I'm really tired" "Dinner?" "I'm busy, but I'll see you" "Alka!" "Didi!" "(Sister)" "You've become so fat!" "How was your flight?" "Your mother called 3 times" "You are so sweet Alka" "Thank you!" "Do you want coffee or shall I serve breakfast?" "Later" "Didi... this guy is so cute" "Was cute!" "Was!" "I don't find him cute anymore... just take down his photo" "I just put it all in perfect order" "Now it's perfect" "So then, how was your trip?" "It was good" "Just good?" "Okay, great" "You look beautiful sweetheart" "Sorry, I'll just..." "No it's okay, go ahead meet them I have to go pee anyway" "Table for 4 please?" "I'm sorry guys, we have a strict dress code" "No shorts and slippers please" "Come on, it's his birthday" "I'm sorry, wish I could" "But she's wearing shorts!" "It's okay for girls, I'm sorry guys" "Just this once, only for you" "Next time I'll come along on shoot with you, as your caterer" "What do you say?" "I slept with Raghuvendra" "I should go..." "Sid..." "I'm sorry" "What are you doing!" "It's all good!" "It's okay, it's all good..." "Hey look, Sid!" "Shit!" "Where?" "That's not Sid, Jackie" "He looked so much like him... cute" "Poor thing, nice guy he was" "Really nice" "Little too nice for you right?" "Oh my God!" "This jacket!" "It reminds me of school, our 'Famous Five' gang" "Was that the 8th or 9th grade?" "10th grade, same one" "See, I can have a long term relationship too" "Yes, with things" "So are we things too?" "Yes, you are a thing" "Sorry" "Have you gone blind in love?" "Am I invisible?" "We said sorry" "Staring into her eyes!" "They are a couple" "'Oh my coochie coo' 'So sweet I love you'..." "The same rubbish crap it's irritating" "What are you doing?" "Go to hell!" "Stupid!" "Hate couples!" "Are you guys here to help me or to do a comedy show?" "Both" "Guys I have a deadline, I have to show the director the costumes" "Fine" "Raunak do you need help?" "Listen, I've to go, I have my 'BD' appointment" "What's this 'BD'?" "'Brain Doctor', my therapist" "Oh 'BD'..." "Raunak you're still going to that 'BD'?" "I have to" "'Brain Doctor'?" "Why are you seeing a therapist?" "Are you mad?" "Who isn't?" "Look at him" "That's a cut, nice" "Good for you Kaira?" "Good for me" "Rubbish I can direct better than this!" "Tell me something..." "Why did you start seeing your therapist?" "So that you could tell everyone you're gay?" "No" "So that I could tell myself, I'm gay" "When is your flight to Goa?" "Don't remind me I can't believe I'm going to Goa" "You're the first human being who's saying this so sadly" "It's Goa!" "Enjoy" "Shut up" "And yes it is sad..." "Because I'm going on duty" "Every 2-3 months have to go show my face" "Raghu?" "Duty!" "Yes mom, I'm coming tomorrow" "What's with this food every time!" "Make what you like, don't ask me I'm busy" "Mothers!" "Same standard question every time..." "'What will you eat' 'What to make'" "Either she isn't my real mother or she's had a memory loss" "Kaira!" "At least eat my food..." "Only way to handle the torture..." "I think this time I'll work on my short film" "Short film" "The longest project of this century" "That's so bitchy" "It's true" "How do you like my French food?" "Landlord?" "I'm not answering" "I don't know about French food but this dip is amazing" "Full Indian spice, try it" "The dip is from Kaira's fridge I have made the puff pastries" "Jackie, at last you made something" "What do you mean, at last?" "You film people think that only you do important work... and the rest of us are useless?" "I have decided to work on myself" "That's tough work" "Do it, do it" "What's wrong with you?" "I'm not going to Goa" "Guess what?" "'Raghu' your friend called... and I have to shoot a music video here in 3 days" "Now get ready okay" "I have never seen anybody so excited not going to Goa" "No Goa" "What happened to her?" "It's not because of my food" "Okay everybody, just get away from the table" "This food is contaminated" "Hey Fats... you good?" "Koko" "Yes" "Guess what?" "What's up?" "I'm Pregnant!" "What?" "It wasn't Jackie's food" "Oh my God Fatty!" "Congratulations!" "I mean we're supposed to be happy right?" "I don't know..." "I want to throw up right now" "Should I go?" "Yes please" "No I'm just kidding" "I'm just very excited" "Are you pregnant too?" "So I was working on a co-production with this New York film company... and it has come through" "Thank you" "Wow, you are going to be shooting a feature in the US?" "Yes" "Tell me more... good script?" "Superb" "Are you going to be filming 'in' New York?" "You are going to be filming in New York" "As in 'we' are going to be filming in New York if you're not available we'll get another camera person..." "Oh my God..." "I will kill you!" "Told you, not going to Goa is lucky" "Lucky for you, unlucky for me..." "I want to kill my husband..." "You're sure right?" "It's not because you think I'm hot right?" "Obviously... you think it's because you're talented?" "What's wrong with your head?" "Why are you so complicated?" "You're the best, that's why you got the job..." "Simple" "Thank you, appreciate it" "So let's break up" "Oh my dear" "Let's break up" "Oh please say yes" "You and I will never work out, oh let me go" "So let's break up" "Oh my dear" "Let's break up" "Oh please say yes" "You and I will never work out, oh let me go" "When I see" "A beautiful girl" "I get excited" "Basically basically basically..." "I'm a rascal" "It's a wrap!" "Hi mommy, congratulations!" "Fatima the fatty!" "Cute guy" "So many men in your life" "Shut up" "You'll also get to spend time with Raghu also... when you're in New York, shooting for 3 months" "Hello ladies, and one gent" "Oh hello?" "Oh sorry two gents" "Can I steal Kaira for a minute?" "Thief!" "Even we want to hear" "What?" "Even we want to hear!" "What?" "I can't hear anything" "Okay pose" "Nice one" "So I'm off to New York tonight" "What?" "Yes" "The financiers want to meet urgently" "Someone has to fly so that you can" "Ok go, fly..." "Have a nice flight" "That's it?" "Have a nice flight?" "What else do I say?" "Say something" "You pulled me here, you say something" "Firstly stop looking so hot" "Tie your hair up" "And behave yourself, just for two weeks" "Here you 90, happy?" "Vet'; "WW" "How do I look?" "Lovely" "So I had to talk to you about something..." "Do you want to hit the dance floor?" "Hi Justin Bieber" "We're just in the middle of a conversation" "Anyway, you were saying" "I was saying that..." "Gautami... who?" "Gautami Sharma will be the line producer of the film... 0k, so?" "The financiers have recommended her... they think she is the best person for this job" "What are you trying to say?" "Gautami and I, many years ago... were in a relationship" "Okay, it's a reunion!" "That's amazing" "Reunion my foot..." "It's going to be a really awkward situation" "I mean she was such a weird one..." "I don't even feel like seeing her" "I just want the job to go smoothly, and I thought you should know" "Cool, whatever" "What 'whatever'?" "Come here..." "Anyway I've had someone else on my mind for a while now" "Look I think... it's time that we got serious about each other" "I think it's time that you go" "Do you want to miss your flight?" "Kaira I'm serious, I'm not kidding" "We really should..." "We have a flight to catch..." "It's late" "Okay 0K3}!" "Go, it's okay, it's cool" "Really?" "You don't have anything to say?" "No, that's it for now" "Bye" "What did I miss?" "Shots!" "So, let's break up" "Oh my dear" "Let's break up" "Oh please say yes" "You and I will never work out, oh let me go" "When I see" "A beautiful girl" "I get excited" "Basically basically basically" "I'm a rascal" "But you're no less baby" "Somedays you're nice" "Somedays you're crooked" "Basically basically basically..." "You're a rascal too" "Koko, why don't you think seriously about Raghuvendra?" "He is so right for you..." "This is why some people should not drink" "Why should she think about Raghuvendra?" "Is he the last man in the world?" "Why shouldn't she consider him?" "I will tell you point by point why Raghuvendra is the perfect guy for Koko" "Point no. 1..." "And this is the most important point in the world" "He is good looking" "Hardly two percent of people in the world look good... and if you have to spend your life with somebody... every morning you should at least see a handsome face" "Point no. 2..." "He has a great sense of humour... and more laughter means more sex" "Where are you getting this information?" "Point no. 3..." "He understands your profession" "If you marry a software engineer or a farmer... what will you discuss at dinner?" "Virus or cow dung?" "Hello, my husband is a software engineer" "And we have many interesting discussions" "Like what?" "Like a lot of things" "And I'm sure farmers are interesting too... they can tell us about organic vegetables" "They can tell you where to get cow's milk" "Go, marry a farmer" "Ganju, tell them I'm right" "Yes, please give us your male point of view" "Guys, just shut up" "This is all pointless" "He's going to meet his ex-girlfriend in New York" "Ex-girlfriend!" "That's just great" "Ex is an ex, that's in the past" "Just punch her" "No, the important question is... are you his present?" "William Faulkner once said..." ""The past is never dead, in fact it's not even the past"" "What?" "Your 'BD' taught you this?" "Hey I want to go to this 'BD'" "Raguu!" "Take it take it..." "No I don't need it" "Stop acting pricey..." "I know you like Raguu" "No, I don't" "Take it, keep it, very tasty so yum" "Yuck Jackie, so cheap" "I love the taste of Raguu" "Have you gone mad?" "Limited offer, grab now" "You've gone mad" "Pasta!" "No don't be so desperate, let him call" "New photo?" "Yes, nice?" "Eat quickly, it will get cold" "Raguu Raguu Raguu..." "Just crush the blacks" "More..." "See..." "Let's play" "Much better see..." "Yes, it's looking nice" "Okay now pause and zoom in" "Ganju!" "I told you to remind me at 3 PM" "I had to take Fatty to the doctor" "Fatty!" "I'm so sorry, I'm just leaving" "No, you wait I'm coming there, to eat the canteen Vada Pav" "My doctor's appointment got cancelled" "This landlord..." "Hello..." "What?" "You are not going to believe this" "Being single is now a crime!" "What?" "My landlord is kicking me out of my apartment!" "What?" "I'm going to join the ranks of homeless in Mumbai" "And you want to know why?" "Did I damage the apartment?" "No!" "Did I forget to pay rent?" "No!" "The building committee just got together and decided... that only married couples and families can live there" "Is that even legal?" "This just happened?" "Yes he just called!" "I've been avoiding his calls for days" "Gosh Fatty, I have to vacate by the end of the month..." "I don't know what to do" "Damn these people" "Mumbai, India's most modern cosmopolitan city" "Seriously" "Listen, you know you can stay with me" "That's not the point" "In a way, thank God... thank God I'm leaving this city and this country for this project..." "But seriously what thinking" "No marriage means no home for women?" "Why don't they make this law instead 'no staying with your in-laws after marriage'?" "Forget it" "So, when is the New York shoot?" "I don't know" "I will know the exact dates in a month... when the man returns" "The man has not called?" "Raghuvendra has not called?" "No" "What 'hmm'?" "Why you looking so suspicious?" "Fatty?" "Tell me" "He got engaged" "He sot engaged!" "I'm sorry, who got engaged?" "Raghuvendra" "When?" "Last week" "He was just here, I mean, he just left..." "I know..." "Who told you?" "How do you know?" "Ajay, that guy from production..." "Just one second..." "he's not even messaged..." "Who told you?" "Ajay, from production, he went to New York with Raghuvendra" "He sot engaged?" "I don't believe this to whom?" "Just please, one second, how can he?" "Koko..." "God!" "This is just getting worse" "You Okay?" "It's just the chilli" "You want to know to whom?" "No" "Okay playback" "Sorry it slipped" "Where do I go from here" "Where do I hide" "This half heart" "How do I share?" "I've parted from myself" "I'm separated from myself" "This half heart" "How do I settle?" "Oh hurting heart" "Oh lying heart" "Oh broken heart" "What's your problem" "Oh heart, just go to hell" "Just go to hell, Oh heart" "Just go to hell, Oh heart" "I don't believe this" "Back to Goa, back to square one" "It's just for 1 month... then the New York shoot will start... won't it?" "I don't know..." "Personal and professional... always keep it separate" "You always say this" "When will you ever use this?" "Such strange things you buy" "Damn, I have to live with my parents for a month" "How am I going to do it?" "Stay with me..." "I'm also going to be in Goa" "We'll do yoga together" "Do yoga in your fancy holiday house..." "I wish my parents would buy me a villa in Goa" "Guess what?" "When I reach Goa, I have to do a beautiful shoot for my dad" "Uncle also joined the film business?" "No Jackie... he wants me to shoot a promotional video for his friend's restaurant..." "Who knows?" "This could be the turning point in my life" "Are you my fault" "Or your own mistake" "Shamed heart" "Please tell me so" "What do we gain now" "What do we lose now" "Shamed heart" "Crying is no use" "Oh hurting heart" "Oh lying heart" "Oh broken heart" "What's your problem" "Oh heart, just go to hell" "So Koko" "Have you met 'Salman Khan' yet?" "Oh my God, 'Sallu'!" "Is he so handsome in real life?" "Does he actually have a 6 pack?" "Or is that just how it looks on screen?" "Tell me Koko, I'm dying to know" "First of all, I haven't met your 'Sallu'... and if I ever meet him..." "I'm not going to tell him..." "'Take off your shirt I want to see your 6 pack abs'" "Exactly" "Tell us about your ad with 'Dhoni'" "One second dad" "'Salman Khan'?" "Abs?" "Really?" "Stop bugging her... talk about the main topic" "Yes Ashu, she should be doing a proper job... in an office... something more respectable" "That's when we can talk to people seriously about marriage" "Why will she do some other job?" "She's done a cinematography course in New York" "She is brilliant at her job and she's still young" "She won't be young forever... all the good boys will be taken" "That's my biggest worry you know... come baby..." "So Kaira, tell me..." "Are you a..." "Are you a Lebanese?" "It's not 'Lebanese', it is lesbian!" "Yes, are you a 'Lesbian'?" "Oh my God..." "If I were, would that stop you from talking about marriage?" "Even if you are, it won't make a difference... all this gay stuff is cool in the film industry" "You're right... from big stars to spot boys, everyone's gay... we call it 'Gollywood' now" "Really?" "Really?" "Of course not!" "Do you people even listen to yourselves?" "It's such rubbish" "The film industry doesn't have more gay people, it's just more accepting... there must be many gay people in your office too... but sadly they have to hide the fact" "So, are you?" "A 'lesbo'?" "No, unfortunately not" "So why don't you settle down?" "We're just worried about you Koko" "If you keep hanging with these filmy men... how will you find a nice boy?" "Filmy men are okay for checking out abs, but not okay to marry?" "How much junk you keep eating" "I've made all this for you... eat this" "For me?" "Have you ever seen me eat this?" "I thought you like paneer... you used to eat it... that's why I keep asking what you want... anyway, dinner is put... come baby, come..." "You know Koko getting married before 25... can reduce the divorce rate by 50%" "There is a 100% chance of not getting a divorce... by not getting married" "I'm going to stay with Jackie" "Koko?" "I'm addicted to pain" "Even my tears, laugh at me" "Why do I give myself new scars" "Somebody save me from myself" "What about the New York project..." "What is this question, 'did you sleep well'?" "If I say no what can you do?" "I don't care what people think..." "I'm not going to stay with you for other people... don't irritate me please" "'Good morning' is it?" "Now it's a 'good morning'..." "If your night is not good... how will your morning be good?" "I think I should be a night watchman..." "Should I take an appointment with a doctor?" "Who is that?" "He moved here a few weeks ago, to write..." "Nice guy" "Take an appointment with him" "There she is, my talented daughter..." "She shoots with all 'Bollywood' celebrities" "Really?" "I know this is a small job for you... but this new restaurant video is very important for us... thank you so much for doing this" "No, it's cool" "Actually we should start, the camera setup will take a while" "Yes, she is very professional" "During work, only work, nothing else" "Dad!" "Can we stop all these useless formalities?" "I need to get this done" "I only have a day" "Get the 24-70" "Tried everything Ganju... even sleeping pills, nothing works" "Try 'Reiki'..." "my grandmother also tried it" "Shut up and setup" "Remove all this, what's all this rubbish..." "I am sorry, this can't be moved right now... only after this session ends" "What?" "We have to wait?" "Then why call us?" "Ma'am, the session is going on" "Madness!" "National Convention for Mental Health Awareness... it's a festival for therapists..." "Raunak's playground... should we go in?" "Shut up and sit" "Here?" "Just sit" "I've done a shot breakdown, you want to see?" "I'm sleeping" "Dr. Chopra, therapy, counselling, analysis... so many big terms... what do they actually mean?" "A proper map can be drawn after defining commonly accepted medical terms... if your problem or illness falls in those definitions... your prognosis will tell you your diagnosis" "It will become clear whether you need intensive therapy or counselling... whether you need an analyst or psychiatrist... it's quite simple actually" "It's very simple" "What are they talking how to understand?" "Dr. Pereira, how does one decide which type of doctor they should be going to?" "A psychiatrist or a psychologist?" "Each model has it's own strengths and weaknesses... an individual may find one approach more appropriate than another... depending on his personal preferences... and the depth and severity of the problem presented" "If I hear another minute of this..." "I'll go nuts" "This question is for Dr.Khan" "Dr.Khan, how do you know if someone is crazy or normal?" "What?" "Take me for example... many of you might think that I'm crazy..." "I've come for this formal seminar in these torn jeans... so, am I crazy?" "Or maybe all I need is a good stylist" "Crazy!" "Very scary word" "Because here we still believe that... a problem of the mind is something to be ashamed of" "If you have a problem with your body, that's normal... you can tell everyone... 'hey I'm in hospital... with a kidney failure... lung infection, jaundice'" "But if it's a problem of the mind... then the whole family goes silent... hush hush hush... as if the mind is not even a part of the body" "Don't laugh just yet... the joke begins now" "Here in Goa, my parents used to tell everyone... that I'm a gynaecologist, not a psychologist" "Which means the doctor's own family is ashamed... to admit that their son is a therapist, dealing with problems of the mind" "Imagine my plight... many of my pregnant relatives landed up at the clinic for a free check up... and you know what, I delivered a few babies too... for the extra pocket money" "No, I'm just kidding" "Dr. Jehangir Khan" "Thank you" "You'll close it please?" "So I'm Jehangir Khan... but you can call me 'Jug'" "May I have a glass of water... from that jug, Jug?" "I'm sure you can crack better 'yokes Kama" "May I call you Kaira?" "I have only one name" "So, how does this work?" "I have no idea how that works... you tell me" "Can I lie down here?" "Why, are you sleepy?" "I'm not able to sleep" "That's the reason I am here" "Did you see a doctor?" "Isn't that what I'm doing?" "You mean the white coat, stethescope, pill-giving doctors..." "I tried pills, they didn't work" "That's why I'm here" "Sometimes I use this to knock my patients off to sleep" "You're funny" "But, you need to work on your jokes" "So tell me" "Any major change in your life?" "I just moved from Mumbai to Goa... is that a major change?" "Yes that's a major change... and?" "And nothing, the moving out, the settling in..." "Or the leaving, the unsettling?" "No, that's not a problem for me..." "I like to move, not being in one place... in fact I love to travel... it's just this sleeping problem" "So why did you move from Mumbai to Goa?" "You know..." "I came to Goa to be with my best friend... she's having issues with this guy... who she really likes, really 'liked'... and she thought he liked her too... but then he suddenly got engaged to someone else" "So your best friend, is she okay now?" "I don't think so..." "I don't think she is okay" "I think her main problem is her profession" "She got this dream job, which is linked to him... his new fiancé will also be on this project" "So how will she handle that?" "I don't know" "What if everything gets messed up?" "I don't know what to advise her... should she just deal with it?" "It is her dream job after all" "Sometimes I feel I should tell her " "'Grit your teeth and just do it... you won't get another opportunity like this'" "And sometimes I feel I should say " "'Shut up!" "And say no!" "Don't you have self respect?" "'" "So I don't know what to tell her" "So you are not able to sleep, because you are up all night... wondering whether to tell your best friend to shut up or not?" "My grandfather used to tell me a story... please narrate it to your best friend" "My grandfather was a mountain-climber" "Before any expedition, he would be thoroughly prepared" "Sadly, poor Pyarelalji was not like this" "Who Pyarelalji?" "A very old friend of my grandfathers'" "He was also a mountain-climbing enthusiast... whose life-long desire was to climb the toughest peak..." "Mt." "Everest!" "Finally one day, Pyarelalji got the chance to climb Mt." "Everest... with a Chinese trekking expedition group" "Without thought or preparation, he said yes and left" "But the group was Chinese... so they could speak only in their own language... no English Vinglish" "So the trek began" "As they slowly and steadily climbed higher..." "Pyarelalji paced ahead of the group with much enthusiasm... while the Chinese people kept waving from behind and shouting in Chinese..." "'Don't go ahead!" "hatahau hatahau!" "'... but Pyarelalji thought they were cheering him on... and saying 'go ahead," "You can speak Chinese?" "Can you?" "No" "Then this works" "Don't laugh, listen" "Suddenly, Pyarelalji saw a growling snow leopard in front of him..." "Pyarelal got scre*** I mean he got bloody scared" "Now he started waving his hands frantically and shouting 'Help, Help!" "'" "But the Chinese people thought he is just happy" "So he kept crying for help, and they kept waving back" "Then?" "Then the snow leopard ate up poor Pyarelalji" "What?" "Yes he was hungry" "You don't find many people on Mt." "Everest..." "And the group kept shouting... 'don't go ahead'" "What a strange stow" "No, it's not a strange story" "Please tell your friend... that sometimes we choose the tough path only because... we feel that to achieve important things... we have to take the tough path" "We feel we need to punish ourselves... but why?" "Why not choose the easy way out?" "What is so bad about it?" "Especially when we are unprepared for the tough path" "Why climb mountains when you are not ready to?" "Excuse me" "You will tell your friend the story right?" "It's important" "Okay, I think..." "My sleeping problem began... when Raghuvendra got engaged" "Raghuvendra?" "The guy in my story?" "Right, your friend's..." "No, mine" "At least I thought he was mine" "We used to work together" "Jack!" "What are you doing here?" "What are you doing here?" "You don't answer my calls, you moved here without telling me" "Without telling you" "Why would I tell you?" "Who are you?" "Actually I have one thing to tell you..." "I've made my decision" "What decision?" "Kaira, I have to talk to you..." "Just shut up, one second" "Listen to this story" "This man wants to climb Mt." "Everest... but without any preparation he leaves for Mt." "Everest... with Chinese companions... and as he's about to fall... the Chinese people don't understand... obviously, because they are Chinese... and they keep waving their flag... and the man is stuck... and then a tiger eats him up!" "Got it?" "The difficult option is not the only option" "We can choose the easy option also because the easy option is easy" "You know, forget it" "It's too much for your small mind" "It's a very deep thought" "Are you talking about working on the film?" "I was talking about NOT working on the film!" "That's my decision" "Okay, okay good" "Good?" "Yes I think that's the best..." "You think?" "Did you hear that?" "You think?" "I have already taken the decision to not work on your film..." "What do you mean by 'you think'?" "I guess someone really does need therapy..." "You told him?" "No Koko" "Him?" "Yes, she told me, so?" "And anyway why do you need therapy?" "What's the big tragedy in your life?" "You didn't want to get serious, didn't want to commit" "So I don't understand, what is the problem?" "You don't understand?" " No!" "Then get out" "Oh God Kaira..." "You really need to grow up" "Good thing you've decided not to work on my film..." "I'm looking for mature people to work with" "What did I just say?" "Get out right?" "Get out!" "Bye, see you Jackie" "I'm not mature enough to handle your big fat project... but mature enough to sleep with you?" "Amazing!" "What a revelation" "Kaira I came here to..." "I don't want to do this, get out" "What are you doing Kaira?" "Just get out!" "Koko, are you sure about this?" "I know with all these personal issues... working with Raghu will be tough... but this was your big break" "Okay Jack" "Sometimes we choose a tough path just because... we believe that to achieve important things... we have to choose the tough option" "But sometimes you need to choose the easier option... because at that time that is the best option for you" "Right?" "Especially when you are not ready to face that tough path" "Damn!" "Wish I had said it right when he was here" "You want some tea?" "Tonight I'm going to sleep so well, so well..." "Very well!" "I was at this construction site... with all these construction workers... all short and strange people" "Suddenly, I lose my balance... and I go falling down... this big fall... and land in muck" "I think it was a gutter" "All these workers are just staring, but no one is helping..." "I look up... and I see my camera dangling... and then suddenly out of nowhere... this group of newly married women... in saris, pallus  bindis all land up there... and they start pointing at me, laughing at me" "Bam!" "I woke up" "It was 4 am..." "I went straight to the bathroom and stood under the shower" "Why shower?" "I don't know" "I felt dirty, I felt like I needed to clean up" "So this Raghuvendra, he is tall and handsome?" "That's your conclusion of my dream?" "Just asking" "You know what I felt..." "I felt I am ugly, trashy, cheap, dirty" "That's funny" "What's funny?" "I mean... all this from a girl who is the opposite of ugly, trashy or dirty" "That's funny... not "ha-ha" funny okay" "oops!" "What's with this?" "It only creaks when you really like someone, but can't do anything about it" "Yes, Raghuvendra is tall and handsome" "So you like tall people, not short and strange" "Maybe..." "Sid was also tall" "So there's a Sid too?" "Yes so?" "So I mean you're a young and beautiful woman... you will have admirers" "What do you mean?" "What do you mean by admirers?" "I mean you're a young and beautiful woman... you will have admirers" "Admirers?" " Yes" "You're trying to say that there are lots of men!" "That's what you're trying to say" "No, what do you want me to say?" "Why would I say that?" "No" "That's what you are saying" "You actually mean that I'm a fast girl, a cheap girl..." " No come on!" "Fast dirty cheap... why use these words?" "Isn't that what the world thinks?" "If a girl has more than one relationship then that's it!" "Kaira... have you ever bought a chair?" "What?" "A chair, kursi have you ever bought one?" "Yes" "And did you just go into a shop and buy the first chair you saw?" "No" "Exactly my point" "We look at so many different chairs until we find the right one" "Some chairs may be comfortable but look like shit... others look nice but are hard on the butt..." "So the process starts, chair after chair... how many chairs we check out before we find... that one chair!" "It doesn't creak with me" "If we look for so many options just to buy a chair... then shouldn't we look at options... when choosing a life partner?" "So... dirty cheap fast... no" "Smart clear fine... actually superfine!" "Wait wait wait" "So the women in my dream who believe that... marriage is the only acceptable relationship..." "I felt dirty because of them" "See?" "You figured it out yourself..." "you don't need anyone's help" "But the dangling camera?" "What does that mean?" "Just like my future, it's hanging in the air" "Maybe you should sit on my chair... and I should sit here from today" "It's so cool" "I wish the whole world could hear about your chair theory" "Why is it important for the whole world to hear this?" "No I just... if they understand this chair theory they will stop judging others... and what a beautiful world it will be" "No Kaira... when you understand yourself well... then what others think of you doesn't matter" "If you don't take charge of your own life somebody else will" "I pity those who don't shop for chairs" "Kaira, will you go back to your chair please?" "Looked like you wanted to take my chair home with you" "And speaking of home, I have homework for you" "Homework?" "Yes I'm very strict with my homework assignments okay" "I want you to chat with your mom and dad" "What!" "10 minutes with each please" "Please, what will I say to them?" "Time's up, see you next week" "What!" "We have 20 seconds more" "Hey you saw that?" "What happened?" "20 seconds happened" "I don't like this buzzer" "Homework Kaira" "Hey, those are really nice looking glasses..." "Thanks" "You're going to see Jug?" "Yup, I have an appointment" "Really?" "You have problems too?" "YUP lam going to get my cycle repaired" "Repairs cycles too?" "Hi dad" "Hi darling, when will you come home?" "I'll come" "You will be home before Kiddo arrives right?" "There's enough time for that, of course I'll be there" "Your mom is in high spirits... full planning for the party" "Obviously, her prince is arriving" "Those restaurant guys loved your film..." "They said it was very well shot" "Oh the hotel video" "Close up of Prawn Balchao?" "Anyway I'll call later okay" "Bye" "4 minutes!" "Yes Koko, you called?" "Yes, why didn't you pick up" " I was cleaning Kiddo's room..." "I didn't have my phone" "Okay but I'm busy now, can't talk bye okay" "Shift that!" "'Talk to mom and dad for 10 minutes'...is he mad!" "Beach?" "Are we having the session out here?" "Why not?" "Problem?" "No, but is it allowed?" "Whose permission do I need?" "I don't know, but aren't there some rules?" "Like privacy, closed door, couch and all that?" "There are rules" "But one should know which ones to break and which ones to not" "Now people will know I am crazy" "Who are these people who keep following you?" "Despite the mess, Goa is the most beautiful place in India" "I wish I could agree" "Why?" "You don't like Goa?" "I was born here" "This is where my parents live, how can I like it?" "Did your homework?" "Only half..." "I managed to talk to dad for 5 minutes... okay 4 minutes, but that's a record in itself" "And your mom?" "I tried, but she was busy" "So you've only done a quarter" "What did you chat with your dad?" "About Kiddo, my brother... he's studying at the London University... he's coming home soon, so my parents are hosting a big party... for his homecoming" "When I got here nobody even said 'welcome'" "So you don't like Kiddo?" "No no I love Kiddo, I really do" "He's the only one who can make me smile... just by being there" "When he was little, I would read him his favorite comic... you know Tinkle, have you read it?" "Yes" "Hunter Shambhu, Kaalia the Crow  Supandi..." "So Supandi!" "was Kiddo's favourite..." "So I would replace Supandi's with Kiddo's name... and read it to him" "He loved hearing the story in my voice" "Even today, he says it's his best childhood memory" "And your best childhood memory?" "Come on, there must be something..." "I don't know" "What are your favourite childhood memories?" "My dad used to bring me here every Sunday..." "To play Kabaddi with the sea" "Kabaddi with the sea?" "Kabaddi kabaddi" "Go back!" "Just two more okay" "I can do this all daylong" "It's important that parents create happy memories for their children" "Now I am a parent myself" "So I'm hoping... my son has at least some happy memories... to tell his therapist" "He stays with his mom" "In divorce cases kids usually end up with the mother" "I just regret not being able to spend enough time with him" "I remember Shaira... my doll" "My dad's birthday gift to me" "When I used to live with my grandparents, Shaira was with me" "I never played with her, just kept her close to me" "At night, I would hug her tightly and sleep" "You were shy?" "Yes" "How did you know?" "Shaira-Shy..." "I'm a genius, really" "When I was little I was shy... dad used to call me Kaira-Shaira" "But now I'm fully Kaira" "Kaira-Shaira, now fully Kaira" "Yes" "Are you sure?" "Come on" "Listen tell me... why did you want me to talk to Mom and Dad for 10 minutes?" "Is there some Chinese mountain story behind this?" "Someday you'll have to climb Mt." "Everest right?" "Where is Shaira?" "Who Shaira?" "My doll!" "The one dad gave me" "How come you thought of that doll all of a sudden?" "Do you know where she is or not?" "She may be in the storeroom... along with your and Kiddo's old things" "What do you mean by maybe?" "She must be there somewhere" "How will I remember after all these years?" "Do you remember anything at all about those years?" "Taste this Bibik" "What is Bibik now?" "Bebinca!" "Kiddo's favourite" "No I'm leaving" "I'm making coconut laddoos for you... your favourite... see I remembered" "You just want to make me fat!" "Coconut laddoos!" "I feel like breaking a coconut on someone's head" "No, no violence, do deep breathing" "What memories will parents leave behind?" "When they can't remember anything themselves?" "Let's drink to Shaira, wherever she is" "In my street" "The moon that appears" "That brings Eid with it" "Is that you?" "My mom" "Has made me a suit" "Has shown me a dream" "Is it of you?" "My heart is destroying itself for someone" "Who is it?" "It's you" "My heart is protecting itself for someone" "Who is it?" "It's you" "Who is that so far away" "Who is that so close" "Who is that so special" "It's you" "The one for whom" "I'd break all other hearts" "IS if you?" "The one for whom" "I'd go on living" "I'd insure my loving" "IS if you?" "The one who's presence" "Makes all come alive" "Who is it?" "It's you" "Who is that so far away" "Who is that so close" "Who is that so special" "It's you" "Who is in my verses?" "Who is in my poetry?" "Who is in my diary?" "It's you" "Hi!" "Oh hello..." "That was a beautiful song" "You have a beautiful voice" "You totally rocked it" "If your audience is so rocking, the song has to match up" "I'm Jackie, this is Kaira" "And you are?" "Rumi" "Girls night out?" "Yes" "They are the best nights" "Hey, great song bro..." ""you mum 'm.!"" "Did I?" "Killed who?" "We're all alive here" "Girls night, don't mind, cheers" "What a voice you have, you should be singing in films" "Why only films?" "There are all kinds of music... there is rock, pop, jazz, blues... do you like blues?" "Blues?" "You seem more red to me..." "What?" "Vorresti fuggire con me?" "That was Greek to me..." "It's Italian actually" "Does that mean that I'm so deadly and gorgeous... that you can't take your eyes off me?" "Not at all" "It means that I'm heading to a private beach with some of my friends... to play some music" "Would you like to run away with me?" "Not bad" "Somebody seems to be in a musical mood today" ""My heart is destroying itself for someone, who is it?" "It's you"" "Excuse me?" ""Last night I went out to listen to a band"" ""Which band was it, where did you go where did you go?"" ""The name of the band I don't know I don't know... but singer I know"" "So tell me more..." "tell me more... tell me more" "We didn't talk, only music" "What to tell?" "So what was his name?" "Banjo?" "Or the fellow was called Cello?" "Rumi" " Wow!" "My new kursi, my new chair" "So, comfortable?" "What?" "New chair, comfortable?" "Yes but it's a musical chair... twenty four hours will have to listen to music... how to listen?" "Why don't you tell him straight, that you like dialogue too" "How can you tell a musician to stop the music and talk?" "He'll think I'm a musical idiot... have you ever felt like an idiot?" "I've sat through a three hour Italian Opera... pretended it touched my heart... when every minute was torture" "I wanted to stand up on the chair and scream even louder than them..." "I'm an opera idiot!" "Wow, okay" "What would you do if you were dating an opera singer?" "I would say, 'Darling, I will do anything for you... but don't make me hear the opera'" "Then end of story right?" "She would dump you and run" "Or after 6 months of suffering, I would run away" "If one is going to suffer, the other person should at least know" "What is the point of suffering in silence?" "See when..." "I'm so sorry" " It's okay" "I will get a new one for you" "I'll do it, don't touch it..." "I think it's safer to have our sessions outdoor" "Go on, Rumi" "I like people who smell nice" "I hate smelly people" "Really?" "Why?" "So you like smelly people?" "Everyone has a different smell... that's how people get attracted to each other" "Eeks!" "Who goes around smelling people to get attracted?" "Dogs" "Dogs" "Ya dogs!" "Ganju, we should record our conversations... they're true genius sometimes" "Genius!" "Yes please" ""Genius is not one who has all the answers... genius is one who has the patience to find every answer"" "Deep" "Which genius said this?" "Dr. Jehangir Khan" "Khan... khh" "So does he smell nice?" "Who?" "There you go" "Wait let it breathe... cheers" "Listen to this bit" "I love chocolate" "Okay this bit" "Wait one second" "Pink Floyd's first album, you have to get this" ""I agree, you're the most beautiful of all"" ""I agree, you find a place in every heart"" "You like strawberries?" ""Yes you are a dream your every move is a charm..."" ""but, you're not one to be wooed by praise"" "Try some?" "Can we just have the music off please!" "I'm sorry, I just need some silence" "Everything okay?" "I wrote this song for you" "But it's okay, silence is good sometimes... there is beauty in silence too... let's be silent" "That's not silent" "I'm sorry" "Okay play your song" "No forget my song... let's talk about you" "I want to know everything about you" "Come, sit" "Tell me about you" "What was your first film about?" "When did you decide to be a camerawoman?" "What's your journey?" "You know, I haven't even shot a selfie in my life" "Isn't that funny?" "So tell me..." "I want to know about your dreams, your inspirations, your aspirations..." "I want to know everything about you" "Huh?" "What's going on?" "Shall I put on some music?" "Please" "I've heard enough for a lifetime" "So still suffering silently?" "Or did you say it?" "I yelled it" "So he ran away?" "No, he was very sweet actually" "He stopped playing the song, which he had composed for me... and began asking about me" "I felt guilty at first but..." "Why are romantic relationships so irritating?" "With friends, it's all so easy, it just flows... you don't need to make such an effort" "Who are the 5 people closest to you?" "Your top 5?" "Why?" "There is an important study... based on the size of the human brain... that shows that everyone has about 150 people in their whole universe" "The next cut is the 50 who you would invite home for dinner... then 15 who you turn to in times of need for comfort... and the final cut is of 5 people who are your whole world... your inner circle" "Who are your 5?" "Fatty, Kiddo, Jackie, Alka..." "Raghuvendra, no" "And I forgot to add... these 5 people can also change with time" "That's true but these 4 people will always be on the list" "Okay, so think of these 4 and tell me" "How do you feel when you are with them... as compared to the changing 5th?" "How, how do these 4 people make you feel?" "Special, I feel special I feel... important, I feel respected..." "I feel happy and safe" "So you don't feel safe with your boyfriends?" "No..." "I feel safe but..." "I don't know it's not that" "With my friends..." "I feel free, I feel like myself" "Why safe?" "When you start liking a guy..." "What is your fear Kaira?" "It's back in one piece" "I believe broken things can be put back together" "How is the 'Brain Doctor' going?" "Is he married or single?" "Didi..." "Hi Alka!" "Look there" "Didi..." "how are you?" "Rubbish" "Why did you go to the doctor?" "Are you okay?" "I went to a 'Brain Doctor'" "What happened to your brain?" "Nothing, if you have an emotional problem in your life... a 'Brain Doctor' can help you solve it" "Do such doctors exist?" "Then everyone should go to them" "Yes everyone should" "I agree, you're the most beautiful of all" "I agree, you find a place in every heart" "Yes, you're a dream, your every move a charm" "But, you're not one to be wooed by praise..." "Don't stop!" "Come on, play the music" "Heart... be silent" "Don't beat so loud" "Let her not see you suffer" "You will smile now at my state" "But, you're not one to be wooed by praise" "Should I whisper in your ears" "Or scream from mountain tops" "It was good fun" "We danced to Honey Singh songs all night" "What's happening?" "Fatty!" "I called you, why didn't you answer?" "Hi Koks" "Why are you both grinning like that?" "Jackie is just telling me about her new boyfriend" "What?" "Hello?" "What new boyfriend?" "How about telling me..." "I'm right here, am I invisible?" "You didn't even ask" "Why do I have to ask?" "Okay guys relax" "How can you not tell me?" "I know why, because it's that weird guy at the bar right?" "See this is what you do" "You're always judging my men" "I'm not judging, you called him weird yourself" "That was then, now I like him" "But you didn't tell me that you like him" "Because you never asked, you're not around" "How am I supposed to know if you don't tell me?" "You keep doing this and blame me for everything" "I am around!" "Fatty where are you?" "Great you also leave me" "Good morning!" "Good morning Jackie Chan" "Anything special today?" "Yes" "You" "You're so special" "Okay, I'm special" "So you fix cycles too?" "L try" "And if I can't fix them, I recycle them" "Recycle a cycle?" "Kaira, you have to crack better jokes please" "So all that cycle art in your room and..." "HEY, hi by the way!" "This boy was wearing those funky looking glasses, you made all that?" "Finally!" "You noticed" "He's an artist" "If you can't fix people do you recycle them too?" "Bye Jug" "Sorry about it" "That's so mean" "Yeah that's so mean, let's go" "Why Cycle today?" "Just breaking the pattern" "Yes, should break it" "You must be going insane listening to crazy people like me... all day inside one room" "Quite possible" "Albert Einstein once said..." ""An insane person is one who does the same thing over and over again... and expects different results each time"" "By the way, Rumi, it's over..." "Why?" "Can't do it... it's too much" "He doesn't fit in my..." "I don't know..." "I can't handle it it's too much" "What's too much?" "Too much" "Wait wait, Lance Armstrong" "Did Rumi do something wrong?" "No we were just wrong for each other..." "Not this chair" "Shiver!" "Only happens when we feel cold... or have a fever, or due to weather... or sometimes people shiver when they are scared..." "I just want to be free... free from all this" "I also want you to be free... free from your fears" "Free!" "Oh wow" "Help me" "Damn, our time's up" "What?" "Got to go!" "Sorry" "Jug!" "Get my glasses please" "MY darling boy, all good?" "Yes all good" "Kiddo!" "Spend some time with me now, not fair..." "Sorry, I was getting ready... you know it's my party, I have to look nice" "You look nice" "So are you part of this matchmaking?" "Me?" "Yes you" "I have no clue but I want to see the fun" "Sweet boy Kiddo" "And you, is your best friend Jackie here?" "Is she still single or..." "Yes, she's still very much single and so is Kaira" "Please stop, it's starting to hurt" "Kama, come" "I want to introduce you to a young man" "This is my niece, Kaira" "Hi Kaira, Suresh" "Suresh" "Pleasure" "Well I'll see you'll later then" "Alright, cheers" "Cheers" "So you're a photographer right?" "Cinematographer actually" "One and the same thing" "No, it's not the same thing" "It's not?" " No okay" "What do you do?" "I'm a techie... does that sound boring?" "Fun" "It's fun, then cheers" "So, why should I be interested in you?" "That was pretty direct right?" "I can be interesting if I meet an interesting girl... it depends okay" "See Kiddo, your favourite food" "Thank you" "What a sweet child Kiddo was, never used to cry" "Never left my side, always 'Mama Mama'" "Well I figured 'Mama Mama'... was a better way to get what I wanted than to cry" "How fast these kids grow up" "I know" "Look at Kiddo, he has achieved so much at a young age" "He has got a scholarship for a higher degree... then an internship with a big firm... tell them the name of the company, Kiddo" "Dad, just stop it now" "You will definitely be successful" "You are doing the correct thing" "You're not eating anything... are you dieting again?" "I don't feel like" "Eat something" "Fine, give it to me" "Here have this" "You remember Chanda, Kiddo was such a gentle, quiet boy... but Kaira, a real firecracker... she's still the same" "Firecracker yes, you're absolutely right... anger, tantrums and sulking, most of all with me" "You kids have no idea how tough it is to be a parent... and it's never ending" "Once a parent always a parent" "I agree" "No holiday from this job, right Ashu?" "All parents should be awarded a President's Award" "Huh?" "I love the food" "So end it then" "Just end it" "What?" "The job of being a parent, just end it" "You keep going on and on about how 'tough' it is, so just end it" "Who has forced you to continue being parents?" "Has anyone forced you to?" "You didn't start the job well in the first place so why continue it... just put an end to it!" "When kids need you the most you happily leave them and go and then complain about their tantrums..." "'Oh how angry she gets, makes faces'" "It was your idea to bring us into the world... you treated us the way you wanted... and then you blame us for how we behave... and you say it's 'tough'..." "What do you mean by 'tough'?" "Tough my foot!" "How could you just abandon me?" "How could you just do that?" "How could you just do that?" "How could you both leave me and go?" "And the only reason you took me back was because I failed the 2nd grade... yes, I failed the 2nd grade!" "Shame Shame!" "Dumb Kaira failed the second grade!" "Such an embarrassment for you... that you left everything and came back to India?" "And when I was finally happy living with my grandparents, you dragged me away from there too" "You separated me even from them" "Yes" "President's Award just for that!" "And I have a firecracking news for you!" "Actually a bomb!" "Are you ready?" "I have begun therapy!" "Yes!" "I am seeing a 'Brain Doctor'" "So feel free to call me crazy, mad" "Please say it to me right now say it to my face" "Say it!" "I'm crazy!" "'Kukoooo'" "'Kaira's gone mad!" "'" "That's what you think... that people like me are crazy" "She is a bit emotional right now... she is also out of work" "Dad, she has enough work" "She has chosen not to work right now" "Kiddo, go get her" "Don't worry" "Make her understand that... once your parents moved back, she never failed in school again... so they took the right decision" "There are all kinds of failures... and I am looking at a few right now" "You Okay?" "I don't know" "Were you happy as a child?" "I only remember being happy once you came home" "See this" "Where did you find that?" "I was looking for something from my past... and found something from ours instead" "You know..." "As children, when we are sad, our elders tell us not to cry" "When we are angry, they tell us 'give us a smile'" "You know why?" "Just to keep the peace at home" "When we wanted to hate they didn't allow us... so now when we want to love... we suddenly find our whole emotional system is topsy-turvy... it cannot function" "Sadness, anger, hate... we were not allowed to express anything... so now, how do we express love?" "It's okay to be angry sometimes, even with parents..." "It's good, it's healthy... it's okay Kaira..." "They left me at my grandparents' house" "Mom told me this was like a vacation, that I would join them soon" "Dad's export business in Goa had failed... so he went to Africa, Middle East looking for business opportunities... mom went with him" "In the beginning I was happy staying with my grandparents... in their big old house in Vasco" "I would write a letter to mom and dad every week... sometimes even twice a week" "At that age, 'writing' meant drawing some pictures... trying to write some big words... but every letter ended with the same question..." "'When will you come back?" "'" "I was 5 years old... every week I would drop my letters in the mailbox with my grandad... then I would wait for a letter wait for an answer to my question... but it never came" "When they called once a month, they had some excuse each time... something about 'an address change, no post office close by, feeling unwell' etc etc" "but I still kept writing" "And my grandad would keep walking me to the mailbox... he always said that I will get my answer some day soon" "Then, a year later mom visited me in Goa... with my new baby brother, Kiddo" "I was jealous" "Because he got to be with mom all the time, and not me then mom said that I would be away from them for 'just a little longer'" "so I was still fine with it..." "I remember asking my mom if she got my last letter she said that it was so beautiful that she put it up on the refridgerator... so that she could see it every day" "I was so happy..." "I ran to my room so I could write another letter for her... so I could see her get happy in front of my own eyes" "A scene I had imagined in my head many times" "So I took out my colours and paints... drew a picture and ran to show it to her" "As I was about to enter the room I heard my grandad shouting at my mom... he was telling her that what she was doing was not right... how could she not respond to my question, to my letters... and then, I heard my mom reply..." ""I can't give her false hope..."" "the truth is that we can't take her back just yet... not until the business is set up..." "It is too tough to handle two children... and travel constantly blah blah" "But everything just seemed to... fade away..." "It was a strange feeling... like someone had grabbed the TV remote from me... and changed the channel from something I loved to something horrid... and then threw out the remote" "I went back to my room, tore up the letter..." "I was 6... took a decision as a 6 year old... that I had nothing more to say to them, nothing more to ask..." "I didn't write a letter ever again in my entire life" "Never" "My poor grandad kept trying to get me to write... but I knew I had nothing to say to my parents... or to anyone else..." "I just became quiet" "I shut down" "Then a year later my mom said that they were coming back for good... dad's friend had a business partnership for him in Goa itself" "In all these years, dad couldn't set up his business abroad" "So imagine, all this for nothing" "So they came back" "But that year was the most stressful for me..." "I didn't want to be with them" "I wanted to stay with my grandparents" "They were separating me from them too" "I threw tantrums... cried a lot, troubled everyone" "To top it all, I failed the 2nd grade... and that, not my 100 letters... not the fact that I was their daughter living away from them" "But my failure made them take me away from my grandparents... and back with them finally" "I'm sorry" "I'm sorry" "If you don't cry wholeheartedly, how will you laugh wholeheartedly?" "It's okay..." "I'm not much for rules... but because of the rules..." "I can't pop a champagne bottle to celebrate this moment... but we can do the next best thing" "To letters, Kaira" "Cheers!" "Go easy..." "To feel safe, first the fears have to go" "The fear of being abandoned, of being left alone..." "You have carried this fear with you all your life... this burden is falling on all your relationships, especially on your love life" "So you leave others before they can leave you" "You want to say bye before they can say bye" "Because you never want to face that pain again" "So, Kama" "Why not say bye to this fear once and for all?" "Why not say hi to life once again?" "I am not saying that you should forgive your parents... or even to stop being angry... you do as you wish" "But I will say this... try to look at them not in the exalted status of parents... but just as two regular people... who make mistakes, like everyone else" "As a child it is hard to understand all this... but now, as an adult... you can at least try" "Don't let the past blackmail your present to ruin a beautiful future" "When something touches your heart" "Say hi to it..." "When your heart is not in it" "Say bye to it..." "Let it come, let it come" "Let it come into your heart" "Say hi to happiness" "Let it go, let it go" "Let it go from your heart" "Say bye bye to unhappiness..." "Love you life" "Love you life" "Love me life" "Koko, I'm sorry" "I'm sorry" "Hello?" "Hi Ma'am, I am calling from eBay, are you happy with our services?" "Yes why?" "Please do continue shopping with us" "Thank you" "Sometimes hold my hand, and walk with me" "Sometimes leave my hand, and let me go free" "I'm a little moody" "You're a little crazy" "What a pair we are" "Let it come, let it come" "Let it come into your heart" "Say hi to happiness..." "Let it go, let it go" "Let it go from your heart" "Say bye bye to unhappiness..." "Love you life" "Love me life" "You are different... you listen to me, you really listen" "I wish I had someone like you in my life..." "Am I making sense?" "Not at all, but that will be 3000 rupees please" "Where were you?" "Just disappeared" "I have to give proper notice if I miss a session... and you left me with one small note" "'Sorry'... that's not fair" "I know, life is unfair" "Fine" "Hide all your secrets" "You know... my issues with my parents may get sorted... but with men!" "I am never going to find anyone" "Tell me something" "Is there such a thing as a perfect relationship?" "Like just one special relationship?" "Kaira I think... why just that one special relationship?" "I think one can have many relationships in life... different relationships for different experiences... like a musical relationship... someone who shares our interest in music... or the lets-get-coffee-together relationship... perfect to have coffee with..." "but not anything else..." "Special gossip relationship... with whom you can have the perfect gossip" "Or the special intellectual relationship... for all those perfect bookish discussions..." "So many different, special relationships..." "The romantic relationship is just one of many" "To expect a single relationship to take on the burden of every need... a bit unfair, right?" "Never thought of it this way" "I'm glad the camera is back" "Me too" "Jug, do you want to get a cup of coffee or something?" "No, our time's up" "You won't bunk the next session right?" "It is the last week of our sessions... how can I miss that?" "So, done sulking with Goa?" "No more sulking" "What about your work?" "Actually I got an offer" "What?" "A production company is interested in funding my short film... so I am thinking, why not stay back here and shoot it" "Since it's the final class, have I passed?" "This isn't school, to pass or fail" "I wish there were teachers like you in school" "I'm no teacher" "Okay not teacher but... you know what I mean" "We are all our own teachers in the school of life" "Okay, that got a bit heavy" "Life is like a jigsaw puzzle" "People like me can help you find the missing pieces... and put them back together... but, only you can complete the puzzle" "So now that this is over... can we meet outside of this... just as friends or something?" "No this is not possible Kaira" "And what if I tell you... that I like you..." "In fact..." "Go on, I'm listening" "In fact I really like you" "That's it, said it" "I really like you too" "I really like you" "I respect your feelings... but my job here is done for now" "As unconventional and friendly as my methods may be... lam still your therapist... any other 'friendship' would be outside the realm of my own professional ethics" "The closeness that you may feel to me, your 'BD'... is very normal" "This happens, it's common" "So I'm common?" "No, you are not common" "You are different, special... you are unique" "You know Kaira" "People feel all sorts of strong emotions in here... anger, hate, love" "I shouldn't have said anything" "No, you should have" "It's really good you said what you said" "You expressed your difficult feelings... in a straightforward and mature manner... rather than letting them fester... inside of you... and we don't want that..." "No" "This Kaira, is huge progress" "Okay but, tell me one thing" "How can this be the last session?" "No no..." "No more stories?" "So many new problems I will have..." "Yes there will be many problems... but now you know how to solve them" "But I'll need help" "I need you" "Kaira... when you see a pattern emerging in life... a habit, then it's time to think about it" "Genius is about knowing when to stop" "Okay then" "Baby Fatima, can't believe it" "This is your godmother, Kokomaa" "Battle after battle" "Corporal Balthazar fought in the Portuguese army for 14 years" "Nobody knew that Corporal Balthazar was not Balthazar... but Dona Maria, a woman... disguised as a man" "This was the only way for a woman to safeguard her life and dignity" "For 14 years Dona Maria fought two battles... one on the battlefield, and the other with herself... with her fears" "Finally, one clay on the battlefield, her true identity was revealed" "As fate would have it... in front of Captain Aphonso..." "Captain Aphonso..." "Commander of the fort and a doctor... not only saved Dona Maria's life... and nursed her wounds... but made her fears disappear... and freed her from the ghost of Corporal Balthazar" "For the first time..." "Dona Maria had the courage to face her true self" "Finally she felt free, she felt alive" "With her newfound courage, Dona Maria soon became Commander... the first woman Commander of the Portuguese army..." "Now, Donna Maria fought only one battle... the one on the battlefield" "Speech!" "Speech!" "No speech, just shut up!" "It was beautiful my darling" "So proud of you" "Beautiful film" "Really?" "Very impressed" "People who make music with the camera don't need musicians" "I wrote a song for you, want to listen?" "Just kidding" "I'm proud of you" "You gave Kaira her first break right?" "Yes" "She could not have done this without you" "Actually if I was with her, she couldn't have done this" "Cheers!" "To the longest project of this century!" "Cheers to my baby" "Hi!" "Hi!" "I was wondering..." "Yes please tell me, what were you wondering?" "Would you be able to live as a man for a few years?" "Huh?" "It's a really interesting concept, your story" "How did you come up with the idea?" "What's your story?" "Do you make films too?" "No, I make furniture... tables, sofas, chairs" "Chairs?" "Like Kursi chairs?" "Chairs like Kursi" "Kursi like chairs" "Dear life," "I know we haven't been in touch for a while..." "So nothing" "Just wanted to say hi" "Kabaddi kabaddi..."
