"23.976" "Farukh" "Delhi" "You must have guessed that already" "They say the festival of Diwali here is very beautiful" ""And why not?" "The crowds, the lamps in the shops..."" ""fire crackers, sweets, colorful decorations..."" "and bright lights everywhere" "But I only work in this city." "I stay with a friend... in a small flat of ours." "He's at home right now" ""Because of him, I have ventured out in the cold weather"" "I thought I'd buy a few gifts and surprise him" "It would make him very happy." "He hardly speaks..." ""but had he not been with me, I'd have had to spend this Diwali too all alone"" "Let's light the lamps!" "You know what my uncle says?" ""He says, if you can go to sleep, looking at the stars..."" "all your dreams come true" "Khushi?" " Aunt!" "Where are you folks?" "I miss you so much and you..." ""It's the wedding season, my dear"" "You know how busy I get" "But where are you calling from?" "And when are we meeting?" ""There's an engagement ceremony at Mr. Bansal's, this evening"" "Is Meghna getting married?" ""See?" "We sang when she was born, and even today"" "She'll be very happy to see you" ""Just you see, Aunt." "It's Meghna's wedding"" ""I'll have you eased out, if that's the last thing I do"" "I'll sing the song she and I used to always sing" "I'll make you bite the dust!" "But how am I going to get any leave?" "I've used up all the excuses!" "So Khushi has a dearth of excuses to make it?" "Watch it... hurry up" ""Khushi?" " Yes, sir"" "What happened?" "Are you down with a cold?" ""No, sir." "I'm crying"" "Crying?" "What for?" ""My aunt's dog Tommy has met with an accident, sir"" "But you said you were an orphan" "So where did this aunt and her dog spring from?" ""Now that I need Tommy so desperately, you're asking me this question?"" "Which means you're going to bunk work again tomorrow?" ""Please try to understand, sir." " I understand everything!"" "I need to make you understand!" "Don't do such things!" ""Quietly, stealthily, he will arrive..."" "and he'll whisk you away" ""This is what our lives are all about..."" ""there's this much to our dream"" ""A dream you have, I have, everyone of us has..."" ""may your dream never be shattered, may your lover never be angry with you"" ""This is a relationship that transcends many births..."" "a marriage is all about destiny" ""May you always be fortunate, may your lover never be angry with you"" ""Quietly, stealthily, he will arrive..."" "and he'll whisk you away" "Didn't I send them all packing?" ""First tell me where you stay, what you do for a living, what..."" ""Uncle, I'm absolutely all right"" "I have a job and a small place to live in" "Are you living all alone in such a big city?" ""Aunt, take a chill pill!" "Haven't I lived with you for 15 years?"" ""So instead of mummy, daddy, brothers, sisters..."" ""I have found aunt, uncle, Bindiya, Poltu...!"" "I want to live all alone and see life for what it is" ""And believe me, it's great fun"" "All alone?" " Oh yes" ""But your eyes said something else a little while ago, my child"" ""No psychology, Uncle!"" ""You will see." "Very soon, a prince will come along..."" "and he'll take you away on a white horse" ""You are giving everyone so much of love, my child"" "That love will one day shower on you." "It has to" ""Where are you taking me, Ranvir?"" "A surprise is meant to be a surprise" "What's gotten into you suddenly?" "I never saw you behaving like this" "Right from our childhood..." "I had to move heaven and earth to make you say something" ""And now, you're..." " I decided to take a gamble today"" "Of letting life itself decide my life" "You ought to have been a poet." "How did you become an architect?" "You hardly have your feet on the ground... how will you make buildings?" ""On a foundation of truth, the buildings will come up on their own"" "What's that?" "Our engagement gift." " What?" ""Make a wish, and I promise, I'll fulfill it before our wedding"" "What's wrong with you today?" "Have you gone mad?" ""What had to happen to the two of us, happened a long time ago"" "This is only the outcome" ""You and I...?" "You're kidding, aren't you?"" ""If this is a joke, our life of 15 years is a joke too"" "You should have at least asked me!" " What?" "I thought..." ""What did you think?" "Forget me, you haven't even figured out yourself"" "Where did you get the money for the land?" "Where will you get the money to build the house?" "There's a big difference between your dreams and my goal" "I've known you all my life." "Your feet have hardly ever been on the ground!" "How can I entrust all I have to a man who lives in a world of dreams?" "Shall we go?" "Wow!" "This is fantastic!" "That girl turns you down and you act like a jilted lover!" "You're hasty with everything in life!" "You've hardly found a job... and you go and buy a land and start building a house!" "I had to work for 22 years before I could build this house!" "You can barely count properly and you think..." ""What is it?" " Come on, I'll make him see reason"" "Make him see sense!" "Do something for a living!" "Worthless fellow!" ""No, my son... no"" "You shouldn't lose heart" "I know how difficult it is for you to speak your heart" "But you needn't worry." "In your life will come another girl..." ""and she'll bring happiness to all of us, okay?"" ""Ranvir, it's been a week since you returned from Shimla"" "Don't always wear a long face." "Come on... it's such a big party." "The boss would like to see cheerful faces" "I'm very happy today!" "The lab we have designed... is the first one to get ready!" "All I will say is that the faith I had in the youngsters of our company... has been strengthened even more today!" ""The only other thing I will say is, since I've been in the army..."" "I'm sick and bored with lectures" ""The second course hasn't arrived yet." " On its way, sir!" "It's ready!"" ""Nisha, you were the one who checked the stocks last time?"" ""Yes, sir." " When Khushi wasn't here!"" "You are going to check the stocks tonight!" "Everyone has already eaten and you're still..." ""even if you're not hungry, you could have had some for the boss's eye"" ""Great speech, sir"" "C'mon!" ""Sorry, the bar's closed"" "One drink you surely can...?" " I'm really sorry" ""Terrible disease, mister." "Liquor can't cure it"" "How much is 17 and 11?" "What?" " 17 and 11?" "Whose picture were you making?" "Mine?" "Of a dream." " I dream a lot too" "Let me see your dream" ""For the highest peak in Shimla, I have a dream"" "The one I was making it for..." ""found the dream and the truth, both wanting"" ""Excuse me, mister"" "The bar is really closed and I've got to go home." "Shall we leave?" "You were delayed because of me." "May I drop you home?" "No thank you." "My house is close by" "May I walk you home then?" "Are you a Delhiite?" "What did you ask?" "Are you a local?" ""I have no fixed place." "Here today, there tomorrow"" ""The whole world belongs to me, all its people belong to me"" ""Well, mister..." "what are you getting at?"" "You're making a mistake." "I don't want anything" "I'm only trying to forget someone" "Out with your wallet." " What?" "Out with it" "Her?" "You're trying to forget her?" "You're holding her to your heart" ""But..." " It shows on your face, mister"" "Khushi!" "Khushi..." "Aunt!" "She's bringing the food!" "The food is here!" "I've brought to much today." "Here it is... more!" "Who's he?" "A rotten guy." "I wonder what he thinks of himself" "I'll go and get rid of him" ""So, mister... this is how far we could walk together"" "Sir!" "What are you doing?" "It's wrecked!" ""Sir, what's gotten into you?" "Are you all right?"" ""What's wrong with you, sir?" " I'm all right..."" "and I'm here to give you some good news" "What news?" " You lose your job..." ""and this flat from today!" " No, sir!"" ""How will I manage, sir?" "Where will I go?" "Please sir"" "Go where you want to!" "Go to hell!" "You've bunked work for 16 days!" "New excuses always" ""Your uncle is ill, your dog is ill... get out!"" "Uncle!" "Aunt!" "What are you up to?" "What are you doing...?" "It's my stuff!" "What happened?" "We were happy selling the stuff" ""What happened, dear?"" "That rotten friend of mine has thrown me out of the job and the house" "Threw you out?" ""Had my guest-room been ready, I'd have shifted you there"" "Whether it's your Delhi or my Bombay... these architects are all very lazy." " They're no good" "It's Mumbai!" "What are you laughing for?" ""Aunt, my problem is solved"" "I've found a place to stay in and also my goal" ""Jonathan, the owner of this house is not only rotten, he's also broke"" "See the state of this house?" "It's so filthy" ""If I touch this money, I'll have to return to Delhi on foot"" "Let me keep it" ""Know what?" "You look after my stuff, I'll go and make some arrangements"" ""I follow a rule, my child"" ""If someone does not pay me on time, it makes me very angry." "Very angry"" ""Take your neighbor, Mrs. Sharma, for instance"" "I've told her so often to settle my dues every Monday" "But she won't." "And Mrs. Narula... you take your provisions from here too." "But you've never been late" "So I'll note down your dues in the accounts book" "Mrs. Narula:" "Rupees 950" "Here are your provisions." "That will be 1950 rupees" "Thank you." "Write it down in my account" "Excuse me... but I do not recognize you" ""Well, I'm Ranvir's..."" ""you know Ranvir, don't you?" " Ranvir Malhotra?"" "Ranvir!" "This is an eye-opener!" ""Congratulations, dear Hearty congratulations!"" "He's one in a million!" "Go on." "Take the stuff" "I'll recover every penny from Ranvir." "Go on!" "I'm Puja" "Ranvir and I..." ""Puja!" "Yes, Ranvir showed me your picture in his wallet!"" "I don't understand this." "Ranvir never told me about you" "I heard you telling the store-owner that you're... but how did Ranvir suddenly decide to get married?" "I don't understand." " You're making a mistake" "The marriage hasn't actually taken place yet." "We're engaged" ""Since I had some holidays, I thought I'd visit Shimla"" "To check out the house." "Who knows?" "I might not have liked it at all" ""And Ranvir?" " Everyone likes Ranvir, right?"" "That's not what I meant." " I know" "He's busy with his work." "He'll be here in a few days" "But..." " Forget all that and tell me... which is the best restaurant in town?" " Why?" "Because you're taking me to dinner there tomorrow" "You're Ranvir's friend and I have no friend here" ""Tomorrow, I..." " At one tomorrow." "This place, okay?"" ""Sorry, Ranvir." "Looks like I've spoken a bit too much"" ""But I couldn't help it." "I had to arrange a meal for myself..."" ""and also get on with the farce." "But you needn't worry..."" ""if I don't make a hero out of you, I'd be fibbing about myself"" "My son... my son... get up and take a look." "There's someone down there" ""Sir, your mother's calling you"" "My son..." ""I heard you!" "Tell her, I'm all of 62..."" "I'm not a little kid anymore!" "My son!" "My son!" "My son..." " Coming!" "Hello" "Hello" ""Amazing sofa you have." "I went to sleep, the moment I lay down"" ""Oh yes, you have nice tastes"" "How much is it worth?" " 8000" "Write it down in my account." "Mrs. Ranvir Malhotra" "What happened?" " If you... are Mrs. Ranvir Malhotra... this sofa and we..." "everything here belongs to you" "Why?" "Is that such an impressive name?" "It's the name and the relations!" " Really?" "And my son's choice is impressive too" "Hey family!" " Family?" "Ranvir is my son" ""Family, meet my son's wife"" "Isn't my son's choice impressive?" " Very impressive!" "You have got to know all of us" "Now tell us... when are you becoming Mrs. Malhotra?" ""Don't mind, sister-in-law..." "how did it all happen so quickly?"" ""I mean, my brother left just a few days ago"" "Well... what will I say to you?" "You can ask him" "You said you have a job in Delhi" ""So your parents must also be from Delhi, isn't it?"" "Are you going to ask her every detail right away?" "She's going to live here anyway." "You can ask her later" ""Come, dear." "Let me take you to your room"" ""Well, actually, it's that house..."" "Ranvir told me" "I know Ranvir's angry with me" ""I shoot off my tongue some times..." "right, family?"" "Some times?" "I don't know when Ranvir and I are going to make up" "But it'll make me very happy if you live in this house" ""She has come to start a family of her own." "Am I right, dear?"" "And that's a very big thing for a bride" ""You may live there, dear." "Both the houses belong to us anyway"" "You can come to meet us any time you wish to" "She has brought happiness to our family..." "lots of happiness" "All the differences will be sorted out" "The boss will be very happy to see it" "The boss wants to see the lay-out of the factories" "Not dreams of beautiful homes" "What you are seeing is just a dream" ""Come on, buddy..." "forget her"" "This cursed house is the root of all trouble" ""Till this house exists, I'll hope to settle in it..."" "I'll keep waiting for Puja." "I'd rather sell this house" "Take a day off tomorrow." "Sell this house and come back" ""Sorry, my child." "We've come a bit too early"" ""No, it's just that I slept so well after a long time"" "That's because you were sleeping in your own house" "Since today is your first day here... we've brought you a present" "My first ever bangles" "Mine too" "May the new house and a new life be lucky for you" ""You know?" "After ages, a son of this family is going to get married"" "Everyone is so happy!" "They're all waiting outside" "Just freshen up and come out" ""Nice folks, aren't they?"" "They could very well teach someone a lesson or two in love" "What if all this wasn't a dream?" "What if it were all true?" "You know what would have happened?" "My dream would have come true" "I too would have been married in a loving family like this one" ""Anyway, I don't have the time for all this"" "I've got to go out for lunch and you... you can stay with the rotten furniture for these wonderful people." "Okay?" "Where was I...?" "Oh yes" "Initially I thought Ranvir was like any other boy" ""All sound, no fury." "But you know something?"" "I saw a hint of sincerity in his eyes" "When he came to drop me home after our first meeting..." ""there in Delhi, we were tied in a bond I could not understand"" "That night..." "the food has arrived!" ""So what was I saying?" "In a few days, Ranvir got a promotion"" "That's exactly how I reacted too!" "A double-promotion!" "He once came in a suit to take me out... he looked so handsome" "He took me out to dinner." "And the champagne..." ""you understand champagne, I hope?"" "Afterwards..." ""What happened?" "I mean, what happened then?"" "That which happens to girls like us only in our dreams" ""In public, he went down on his knees and said..."" ""Khushi, every grief that is heading your way..."" ""I will take for myself." "And all the happiness I am destined for..."" ""I wish to give to you." "I want to lay it out for you"" ""Marry me, Khushi"" "How could I have refused him?" ""After all, any girl in my shoes..."" "Hey!" "You haven't eaten anything!" " I'm not hungry" "May I eat it?" "I feel so shy..." ""I feel so shy, how will I tell everyone..."" "about my exploits in love" "My beloved... the wicked one... has three traits" "Will you tell me what's happening here?" "Could you come in first...?" " Don't drive me..." "What are you doing in my house?" "I know you're going to be very angry" "But I had no other way" ""After I met you that night, my boss came into my room..."" "he had had a lot to drink." "He tried to force himself on me" "And I..." "I ran away from there." "But I had lost my job and my house" "I think I've told you." "I'm all alone in the world" "I was looking for support when I saw the sketch you had prepared" "It smiled at me and I thought..." " You need brains to think" "Pick up your stuff enact this drama elsewhere." "Go on!" ""Please have mercy on this poor girl, sir"" "Whatever has happened to you is in the past" "Pick up your belongings and get going." "Get going!" "This diwan..." " Your mother... how could I refuse her?" " My mother?" ""This is from your grandmother, this is from your uncle..."" "and this from your brother..." " All this stuff...?" "It's a wedding present" "You are undoubtedly talking about our wedding" "You have such a dilapidated house..." " It's okay..." "Go on" "What could I say?" "So what did you say?" " That we are going to get married" "So you could escape with all this stuff?" "What else have you got your hands on?" "Speak!" "Your mother's bangles..." "I've got to return that too" "What did you tell Puja?" "What did you say to her?" "She bought me lunch!" "I saw your jeep" "When did you arrive?" " Just now" ""Lovely weather, isn't it?"" "Why don't you sit outside?" "I'll fetch some tea" "I'll be back soon" "Shall we?" ""I didn't want you to..." " Now look, about Khushi, you..."" ""How would I know, if she hadn't told me?"" "That you..." " What?" "That you're so romantic?" "The way you won her heart... any girl could have gone crazy about you" "I've asked her everything." "About each of your meetings..." ""about every trait of yours, every success..."" ""That it would all happen so quickly, I never really imagined"" "Why didn't I?" "I didn't imagine it either." "Maybe... everything happened on its own" "And maybe this is good for everyone too." "Isn't it?" ""All your dreams are coming true, isn't it?"" "Congratulations." "I must leave now" "Won't you have some tea?" "Some other time" "Let that be." "She has left" "Because of me..." "I'll leave by this evening." " Maybe because of you..." "Puja has realized that she has made a mistake" "What are you trying to say?" " Just that..." ""you can stay on, if you wish to"" "And then?" " You need a house." "And I need you" "Go on" ""You're lucky, your drama has worked"" ""Or else, your story ought to have driven Puja even farther away from me"" "But what happened is just the opposite" "Maybe this is how the mind of a woman works" "Let's talk sense." " Sense says it... that we'll play this game for a few more days" "You can stay here and I'll spend a few more days in my father's house" "You've made plans for the rest of your life!" "What if something goes wrong?" "Nothing will happen" ""Maybe not with you, what happens to me?"" "Free board and lodge..." "what else do you want?" "That's a nice way of asking for a favor" "Now look..." "As if saying sorry will deal a blow to your manhood" ""Forget it, mister." "I've stopped expecting decency from men like you"" "Let's talk business" "What do you want?" " 2000 rupees a week 2000?" "Listen... sit down" "All right" "And..." " And...?" "I told you." "I can't return a gift" "You have brought the bride home for the first time" "Officially introduce her to everyone now" ""You've already met her, haven't you?" " But we must have an introduction"" "My Uncle" " Hello" "God bless" "Grandma." " Grandma!" "Nazakat Ali." " Greetings" "Gurtej." " Sat Sri Akal" "My father." " Father!" "We've cooked your favorite food today" "Khushi told me that you like mashed eggplant very much" "You never told me" ""She..." "likes it, you see." "That's why"" "Kitchen department... move it!" " One minute" "How will it be if the young lady lights the oven for once?" "Yes!" "Let's go" ""Father, join us... come on!"" "Wait here" ""What's all this, son?" "How did it happen?"" "Well..." "I'm myself surprised." "I didn't even realize when..." "I hope you are doing all this with due thought?" "Don't do it" "What?" " I mean... stop thinking so much." "Do what your heart asks you to" ""My son, will you take an advise?"" "Happiness comes without announcing its arrival." "On its own" ""And when it arrives, there is joy everywhere around"" "Forget about the past" "Forget it." "And accept this happiness" ""You will listen to me, won't you?"" "This is the living room and..." "Will you have some breakfast?" "Mother has sent some milk and jalebis" ""No, you go ahead"" "I'll show Puja the bedroom." "C'mon" ""Jalebi?" "Have some, mother has sent it"" "I wanted us to begin every day of our life with a lot of love" "So I've designed the bedroom in such a way... that the Sun will awaken us every morning with affection" "So you've shown her what your dreams are?" "Terrible habit he has." "He shows everyone his dreams" ""After all, some things are very personal, aren't they?"" ""Anyway, I should be at the hotel now"" "You love her very much?" "Since when?" "I don't know" "Ever since I remember..." "I haven't even thought of another girl" "She's a very lucky girl;" "this is what every girl wants" "What?" "That the one she loves must not even be able to think of anyone else" "What will you do if you don't have her?" "Maybe I'll never be able to fall in love with another girl again" "You'll surely find your goal." "I have a strong feeling" "You know why I'm called Khushi?" "(khushi=happiness)" "Because I'm destined to give everyone I meet a lot of happiness" "I'll give much more joy than I myself receive" ""Just you see, now that I am here, everything will change for the better"" "Ranvir... you?" "I was passing by and..." "I came over to meet you" "You look worried" "I don't know what's right and what's wrong" "Khushi thinks I still have a soft corner for you... and maybe..." ""Puja, I..." " Wow, Ranvir!" "I knew it!"" "I knew you'd surely come here!" ""Didn't I tell you, Puja?" "He'd surely come!"" "You are making a mistake." "I only wished to talk..." "I was here to talk too!" "But my way was different" "I came here hoping that my suspicion about Puja would vanish today" "But what's for real and what is a misunderstanding..." ""is all here before me today!" " Now look, Khushi..."" ""Let it be, Ranvir." "At least don't poke fun at me in everyone's presence!"" ""Hey lady!" "Had you not sprung at Puja's place, I had had it made today"" "Really?" "It's my arrival on the scene that has set the ball rolling" "You're a duffer." " What do you mean?" "You don't understand girls." "The real fun begins now" "Spread the trap in such a way that even if the bird escapes... it must be forced to return to you." "All that takes time" ""It has to do with delicate threads, mister"" "Use force and the thread will snap." "Make her feel jealous... torment her some more." "Understand?" " Somewhat" "Will you buy me an ice-cream?" " Why?" "It's fun to eat an ice-cream in winter." "Let's go!" ""Two orange candies, please"" "Shut up and let's go" "Let's go!" "However much the times have changed... for how long will the boy and the girl meet like this?" "We'll have to start talking about your marriage" ""We'll have to meet your parents at least once, my child"" ""They're both so busy, father." "Papa's busy with his business..."" "and my Mother's busy with her kitty parties and social work" "They have left the decision to me." " But if we could meet them once..." ""Father, let it be"" "Khushi's parents can't get along with each other" ""Although she won't say that, I know the truth"" "They can't stay together in a single room" "So we'll invite them when our wedding date is fixed" ""Father, Ranvir is right." "I..."" "Moron!" "You have made her cry!" "Why did you have to say such things about my parents?" "What will they think about me and my parents?" "I wasn't talking about your parents." "Have you forgotten?" ""Mummy's busy with kitty parties, daddy's caught up with business"" "They're the ones I was talking about" "Still!" "I had made an impression." "And you've ruined all that!" "You can't stop lying and you start believing in your lies" "That's your biggest problem." " What do you mean?" "Use your yarn sparingly." "Your lies could land us in trouble" ""And I'll really have to marry you." "Let's go, I'll buy you an ice-cream"" "Liar!" "Hey liar!" " What is it?" "Let's go." "It's time for the drama" "Do you still come here when you want to think?" "It's been a habit for years." "How can I give it up so easily?" "I've been thinking about you and me" "About our days at the college." "Remember?" ""The other day, in my house..."" "What mistake did you make?" "It was between Khushi and me" ""But the fight took place because of me, isn't it?"" "I know." "And that is why I am embarrassed" ""I wanted to say something to you." "But Khushi was there, and so..."" "Khushi acts like a kid." " You're no less a kid either" "What a big fight over something so trivial" "What does that mean?" " I mean..." ""when one is angry, you must placate her"" ""When one acts childish, you must give her a chance to make up"" ""You know, Puja?" "You don't know what a nice girl you are"" ""All you need is someone who will love you, take care of you..."" "who can appreciate what he has gained in having you" "Just as I feel about Khushi" "I must leave now." "Coming?" "I'd like to be here for some more time" "Don't think too much." "It isn't good for your health" ""You are right before me, I'm right before you..."" ""I am right before you, you are right before me..."" ""And yet, we are distanced by miles"" ""Your heart is pounding and my bangles tinkle"" ""Oh God... how love ties us down"" ""Oh God... how love ties us down"" ""I think of yielding, my heart stops me..."" ""my heart thinks of acquiescing, I think of holding firm"" ""Through long nights, our love-talk is still not complete..."" ""if you were to acquiesce, we would complete what's unfinished"" ""Oh God... how love ties us down"" ""You are right before me, I'm right before you..."" ""Go and help yourself to the flowers..."" ""live, if you wish to..."" ""or perish, if you must"" ""How I wish your heart would give in today..."" "and I'd be a slave to you" ""Oh God... how love ties us down"" "Mother..." " Yes?" "May I say something?" "Certainly." "Why must you ask?" ""Every time I speak, everyone in the family is angry with me"" "I won't be angry." "Go on and tell me." "What is it?" "I can't understand..." " What?" "This thing between Khushi and Ranvir isn't moving ahead" "It has either to do with Puja..." "or with Khushi's parents" "There's a jam." "It isn't leading up to a wedding" ""I can't understand this." " But I do understand, my son"" "Really?" "How come?" "It's just that you are very naive" "You are not going to understand this drama of love" ""But I do." " That's all right, but..."" "This game of love... needs a gifted writer." "Nothing else" "Biji!" "Are you talking about a romantic writer...!" ""No, no!"" "Just keep watching." "Your Biji understands everything" "She'll set everything right" "Check... and mate" "See that?" "He has copied my move!" "That's enough." "There's something..." ""Let me say something, Biji"" ""Come here, my child." " Coming, Biji"" "I don't wish to play with cheats" ""Sit down." " What is it, Biji?"" ""This evening, I have invited someone home"" ""Someone with a lot of jewellery, a lot of bangles and saris"" ""For the bride in the family." "For you, my child"" ""Me?" " Yes, my child." "For you"" ""Mother, do send my father..."" "Spring is here..." ""My child, your father is separated from us"" "Although Spring is here" "Lovely jewellery." "Keep it with care" "Keep it with you for the time being" "So you trust a thief?" " Can't help it" "It's a matter of time." "Play with the jewellery for some more days" ""Where are you guys, Rajiv?" "We've got to start work." "Hurry up"" "I'm all ready!" "What's to be done?" "You see that lake?" "Fetch water from there" "I've got good news for you." " What?" "We've matched your birth-chart with Ranvir's" "The two of you are destined to have all the happiness!" "Really?" " Oh yes" "And the priest says the wedding must take place at the earliest" "But..." " Ranvir's ready too." "Come on" "Where to?" " To apply henna on your palms." "C'mon!" ""No, no, no..."" "No way" ""Do not apply the henna on my palms..."" ""I am not going to my beloved's house"" "Whatever my crazy heart says..." ""I'm not falling for his sweet talk"" ""In my veil, I pine..."" "my scarf clings to me" ""I can't go to sleep, I'm always awake..."" ""if only I could hide somewhere, go away someplace..."" ""I wonder where this unknown path will take me"" "Whatever my crazy heart says..." ""I'm not falling for his sweet talk"" ""No, no, no..."" "No way" ""Do not apply the henna on my palms..."" ""I am not going to my beloved's house"" "I wield the magic wand..." "I'm a delicate doll..." ""before I get angry, and break..."" ""come with me, my friends, I do not wish to go alone..."" ""I will tell my beloved not to get closer"" "Whatever my crazy heart says..." ""I'm not falling for his sweet talk"" ""No, no, no..."" "No way" ""Do not apply the henna on my palms..."" ""I am not going to my beloved's house"" "Hey fraud..." "Why did you sleep here?" "You could've caught a cold" "Have you ever worn a sherwani?" " No." "Why?" "You'll look good in it." "Very good" "Were you dreaming?" ""Come, let's go upstairs"" "Will you have some coffee?" "On one condition" "What condition?" "You will serve the coffee with a smile" "I've noticed." "You've stopped smiling nowadays" "There are just two things I'm used to in Shimla" "The first is the coffee..." "the other's your smile" "How's Khushi?" "It's so difficult to decide about the wedding" ""At times, I feel like waiting." "At times, I feel like going ahead"" "What do you think?" "Since when you have begun to think?" ""Well..." "I thought I'd rather use my brains, if not my heart"" "But the brains and the heart never agree on anything" "Which is why I've come to take your advise" "I think I'd rather compromise and decide to marry her" "What do you think?" "What do you think?" "I think..." ""I must leave." "Else, my heart and my brains will be at loggerheads again"" "Your coffee?" " No... some other day" "What are you wearing?" "Why?" "What's wrong with this?" "Very little clothes." "Go and change" "Go!" ""Behind the bungalow, under the tree, my love..."" "the thorn pierced me..." ""Ranvir, this is Gaurav from Delhi." " Go on"" "The boss has called everyone back." "He's allotting a new project" "Come back at the earliest." "Okay?" " All right" "Whose call was it?" " From the office" "What's the matter?" " They've called me back" ""To make the same lifeless buildings, factories and laboratories"" "What do you want to do?" ""I want to make homes, not houses"" "So why don't you tell your boss?" ""Once this home is completed, they'll understand on their own..."" "what I'm capable of doing and what I want to do" ""Sir, did you send for me?"" "Yes." "I'm told you're leaving the company?" ""This isn't merely a company, young man"" "This is an army." "Do you know the punishment for deserting the army?" "But I'm not letting you go" "Because I have got to know what you intend to do" "Who told you that I..." ""Ranvir, in you I see my youth and my obsession"" ""Like you, I didn't want to build make match-boxes either"" "I wanted to build homes in which lives could thrive and grow" "You know so much about me?" "I'm told you have spent very little money and with your brains..." ""you have built a beautiful house?" " Yes, sir"" "If what I have heard about you is true... this brigadier will finance your blue-print" ""What are you saying, sir?"" ""Congratulations on your wedding!" "I will surely attend it, Ranvir"" ""After I've seen your house, I will decide on making you my partner"" "My wedding?" "A partner?" ""You are a very lucky man, my friend"" "Your wedding will bring together two separated souls" "I... and Bakshi" "It's the same Bakshi whose bravery saved my life on the battlefield" "He's the one who took the bullet meant for me" "He's the one whose beautiful daughter you are marrying" ""Come, my child"" "I got to know only today that the bullet made Bakshi lose his memory" "A colonel of the Punjab regiment... thinks he's an ordinary soldier of the Maratha regiment!" ""Till your marriage takes place, you are on leave, Ranvir"" "Go and get on with your wedding and your house." "Hurry up" "Do you dream which fraud you will play at what time and where?" ""You won't see reason, mister." "Not even after overcoming such a big hurdle"" ""You were amazing today, I must say"" "But what made you come all this way?" "You made a mistake." "You didn't reveal your dreams to anyone else... but you told me about them" ""Remember, I once told you that I see a lot of dreams too?"" "But you know?" "Your dreams are better than mine." "They are practical" "And I'm sure you will fulfill them" ""If one wishes well, his dreams come true"" "Your dreams will come true too" "This is the first time someone has shown faith in me... may I know the reason why?" "Is it necessary to spell it out?" "But one has to decide things." " What?" "We must take this game of marriage to its logical conclusion" ""Without that, we can achieve nothing"" "It has become necessary for the boss to see my house" "Will you stand by me?" "It's going to be fun." "I've been doing it all my life" "I used to play games at other people's marriages" "Now I'll play a game with my own marriage." "It'll be fun" "Shall we go then?" " And Puja...?" "This is the first time in the game that I've forgotten about her" "There's just one way out" ""At the wedding altar, I'll say..."" "I'm sure you haven't been able to forget Puja" "And that I refuse to marry!" "Our game might yet reach its logical conclusion" ""Right then... at the wedding altar, you can marry Puja"" "Possibly." "Shall we go?" "Sure" "Didn't I tell you?" "The Maratha Regiment is proud of Col Bakshi!" "I don't get this!" "How can you compare my boss with these folks?" ""Watch your manners, Captain!"" "You're talking to your commanding officer!" "I'll shoot you!" "I'm glad you told the boss that the bullet has grazed his brains" "What's he talking about?" " That he's crazy" "Do we have another way?" "I don't get this" ""Will they emerge from a military convoy, or must we do something?"" ""Okay, tell them that my friend Gaurav..."" "will receive them with new clothes in 15 days time" "Does he know who my tailor is?" "You clown!" "Have you ever worn anything except shorts?" "You've now enlisted my entire team as part of your drama" "What do you want now?" "Won't you buy your bride a wedding-attire and jewellery?" "Anything else?" ""You won't ask me to build a loony bin later, will you?"" "What happened?" "How do I look?" "Really?" ""Hello, rotten...?" "Will you say something?"" "Fraud!" "She's like the engine of an aircraft in an auto-rickshaw's body" "Take a look at him!" "Bitter all the way" "Ask him to smile and he takes a whole five minutes" "And he acts as if he were James Bond's disciple!" ""She's not bad to look at, but she talks too much"" "The one who marries her..." "This idiot will have to marry a dumb girl" "Did you say something?" " No" "One mustn't fall in love." " Why?" "Because love puts an end to friendship" "One starts fighting and..." "everything goes wrong" "No?" ""One mustn't, right?" " No"" "Mother..." " Brother is here!" "So you're back from Delhi!" "She wasn't ready to stay here a single moment without you" "She ran after you" "Lucky boy." " We have decided to get married" ""Suddenly, how did you...?"" ""Well, there it is"" ""When is the wedding, brother?" " On the 16th of this month"" "So soon?" " Make up your minds" ""You say it's getting late, and you say it's too early"" "But how about Khushi's parents?" " We've spoken to them" "They'll be there at the wedding." " They'll be there!" "They own a helicopter company?" " Let that be" "It's such a happy occasion and you're scolding him" ""Give them your blessings, congratulate them... that's it"" ""No, no..." "the two of you together"" "One moment" "Aunt!" "Khushi!" "I have great news!" "I'm getting married" "When?" " On the 16th of this month" "What?" ""Surprised, aren't you?" "I'm only joking, aunt"" ""What are you talking about, dear?"" "I don't have the time to explain." "But think it's my marriage" "Even if it's make-believe" ""I'm beginning to get worried about you, Khushi"" "Do you realize what you're doing?" ""No, I don't." "All I know is that I'm shaping a dream..."" "a beautiful dream of my marriage" ""For a minute, I thought you are really getting married"" ""No, aunt." "If that were true, it would have been amazing"" ""But I told you, it's not true." "It's only a dream"" "And you've got to come and embellish it with me" ""You will come, won't you?"" "Shut your eyes and start dreaming." "We'll be there" "Jonathan..." "I'm a nut!" "I'm lost in my own dreams" "You never told me..." " What?" "What your dream is all about" "Must I tell you?" " Yes" "I dream of the heavens..." "with someone of my own with me" "That's all I dream of" ""Some times, I begin to believe in the dream"" "Like these clouds." "I feel that I might be able to touch them" ""But then, I'm afraid." " Of what?"" "What if it turns out to be a fake?" " If you don't believe in your dream... how will it come true?" "So tell me..." "do you believe in it now?" "A bit" ""Khushi... she's very mischievous." "But she's sensible too"" "What I could never say... she has done in a single day" ""I don't know how she stole my dreams..."" ""and lay them before my boss." "I'm beginning to think..."" "that everything will be all right" ""Whoever decided to call you Khushi did it after a lot of thought"" ""May your dreams come true too"" "What I've got to tell you today..." ""I will say to no one else ever again"" "I've got to stay with you..." ""or not live in this world at all"" ""In love, we will live..."" ""in love, we will die..."" ""the anguish of separation we will not bear"" "Fear not the world... or don't fall in love" "We will not look away..." ""from each other, my love"" ""We shall immerse ourselves on the shores..."" ""we shall rejoice at our goal..."" ""we shall not be washed away in the seas"" "What I've got to tell you today..." ""I will say to no one else ever again"" "I'll manage it..." ""but, father..."" "do what you want to." "Why are you asking me?" "What do you want?" "Ever since you have arrived..." ""everything has changed for the worse!" "You took over my family, my life..."" "my thoughts and now..." ""Was it me, or you?"" ""Was it I who did what happened, or was it you?"" "Was it I who changed the decisions or was it you?" "You!" "I know your lot very well." "You had come with the intention... of taking everything I possess" ""Aunt, this is Khushi here"" ""Khushi, why are you crying?" "What is the matter?"" ""Aunt, I..."" ""Was it I who did what happened, or was it you?"" "Was it I who changed the decisions or was it you?" "Who is it?" ""This is Agnihotri from Mall Road." " Yes, son?"" "I'm sorry for being intrusive" "But I've seen your daughter-in-law at the bus-stop just now" "She looks worried and she's also carrying her bags" "So I thought I should inform you" ""You've done the right thing, there's something wrong"" ""Even if everything divine comes to an end..."" ""even if you have to forsake the world..."" ""even if God turns against you..."" ""may your beloved never be angry with you"" ""Placate your sulking beloved, O silly boy..."" ""God will Himself be placated"" ""Placate your beloved who's sulking..."" "and God will be placated" ""When the beloved is separated, when the beloved is angry..."" ""even death does not come to you, life becomes a punishment"" ""What life is this?" "You are here, your beloved is elsewhere"" ""Your beloved means everything to you..."" ""without her, there's nothing for you"" ""Placate your beloved who's sulking..."" "and God will be placated" ""Light up your heart with love, O silly boy..."" "O silly boy..." ""light up your heart with love"" ""Your house is lonely without her..."" "go and bring her home" ""Placate your beloved who's sulking, O silly boy..."" "and God will be placated" ""This is the ocean of love, it flows the other way"" ""Those that swam across, have drowned..."" ""and those that drown have swum across"" ""Placate your beloved who's sulking, O naive one..."" "and God will be placated" ""Should you not make up with her and prevent a separation..."" ""you will have no cure for your lovelorn heart"" ""Love is a verdict pronounced by nature..."" ""there is no verdict beyond this decision"" ""Placate your beloved who's sulking..."" "and God will be placated" ""For whatever I did, I'm..."" "There's no need for that" ""I told you, I've stopped expecting goodness from men like you"" ""I don't want your salary, nor your furniture nor anything else"" "but I do wish to clear your misgivings" "I haven't come back for your sake" ""I have come back for those whom you had, and never appreciated..."" "and whom I see for what they are worth" ""So we needn't say anything to each other anymore." "Not today, not ever"" "I was perhaps dreaming." "And I'm glad you woke me up" "Because I have begun to hate the dream" ""You asked for some samples for the decoration of your house, sir"" "Here they are" "Since you are doing the decoration of the house... here it is" ""Mother, my dream has been fulfilled"" "The house is ready" "Would you like to take a look?" "We have moved closer..." ""you have taken away with yourself..."" ""my sleep, my dreams..."" ""take me along too, my love"" ""I implore you, my love"" "We have moved closer..." ""you have taken away with yourself..."" ""Ask me for my life, ask me for my heart..."" ""ask me for a denial, ask me to acquiesce..."" ""you may even seek the world from me today"" "We have moved closer..." ""you have taken away with yourself..."" ""We're so close, I can see nothing else"" ""I'm lost to myself and to everyone else"" ""Find me, if I ever lose my way"" "We have moved closer..." ""you have taken away with yourself..."" ""my sleep, my dreams..."" ""take me along too, my love"" ""I implore you, my love"" ""Welcome, sister-in-law!" " Do not feel shy"" ""Biji, sister-in-law has arrived"" "My child!" "You came to this house as its happiness" ""But now, you shall be its goddess of wealth"" "Welcome inside" "We will light lamps in the whole house tonight..." ""for you shall light up our lives from today, my child"" ""Come, dear." "Come on"" ""O Mother, send my father..."" "for Spring has arrived" ""My child, we are estranged from your father..."" ""I know, Spring has arrived"" ""O Mother, send my father..."" "Let go of my hand!" "What's happening between the two of you?" "Won't you even tell me?" ""There was nothing between us, Biji." "It was just a game..."" "I had played so I could have Puja" "And when that game turned into reality..." "I didn't even get to know." "I really fell in love with her" "So... why don't you tell her?" "What will I say?" "How will I say..." ""that I am suddenly in love with her, and not Puja?"" ""In this very dilemma, I said so many nasty things to her"" "I have hurt her very much." "It was all my fault... and I held her guilty." " My son... if you have made a mistake... you will not be belittled by admitting it" "Go to her and tell her" "Maybe you will not have the opportunity after tomorrow" "You will regret it then." "Go and stop her..." "Go on" "The bridegroom...?" "Here?" "He mustn't have been able to stop himself!" "I know why you have come here." "Your job will be done" "I wish to talk to you..." "Your mother says the bride and bridegroom... can't spend time together before the wedding" ""Jonathan, it isn't a nice world." "It isn't Jonathan"" "We shouldn't have come here at all" "I can't play this game anymore" "My dreams have soured..." "I don't know what to do" ""Open the door, Khushi"" ""Open the door, my child." " Open the door, Khushi"" ""No, Biji." "I'm not coming"" "What happened?" ""What happened, Biji?" " I don't get this"" ""Khushi's not opening the door." " It's the wedding day, after all"" "She must be scared" "My son... call her parents." "They'll take care of everything" ""We have guests, dear." "Let's go"" "My child!" "We are here to take you away" "Uncle!" "Aunt!" "Go away..." "this marriage is not taking place" "It was inevitable" "My darling daughter..." "how she has been hurt" "Think about it" "These folks don't know our child is an orphan" "What will happen of our child?" "What are we to do now?" " What?" "Have we ever done something that we will do it now?" "We can do nothing" ""Open the door, my child"" ""My child, everyone of us has given you so much of love"" "If you have found even a little bit of honesty in our love..." ""I implore you in the name of that honesty... open the door, my dear"" ""My child, all we have come to tell you..."" "is that the bridegroom needs no one else on the wedding day" "But the bride... the bride needs everyone" ""So we have decided that all of us will stay with you, not with him"" ""From today, I am not his Biji." "I am your Biji"" "And he isn't his father..." "he's your father now" "And she isn't his mother anymore." "She's your mother" "And this idiot!" "He's your uncle" ""We're all your very own, my child." "We belong to you"" "I know how difficult this journey can be" ""But my child, I give you my word..."" "take the first step." "You will not be alone" "You'll find a new relationship at every step" ""At every turn, a brother will lend you a helping hand"" "A mother will pamper you." "And a father will be your support" ""We belong to you, my child"" ""Now look, my child." "The compassion in your eyes..."" "holds happiness for all of us." "Do not refuse us." "Please don't" ""Quietly, stealthily, he will arrive..."" "and he'll whisk me away" ""This is what our lives are all about..."" ""there's this much to our dream"" ""A dream you have, I have, everyone of us has..."" ""may my dream never be shattered, may my lover never be angry with me"" ""Quietly, stealthily, he will arrive..."" "and he'll whisk me away" ""This is a relationship that transcends many births..."" "a marriage is all about destiny" ""May misfortune never strike, may my lover never be angry with me"" ""Quietly, stealthily, he will arrive..."" "and he'll take me away" "I possess a heart full of desire..." ""and people accuse it of being evil"" ""May he never plunder me, may my beloved never be angry with me"" ""Quietly, stealthily, he will arrive..."" "and he'll whisk me away" "I can't do what you want me to" "They have given me so much of love and affection... please don't compel me to enact a farce in their presence" ""Won't you stand by me, now that we have got here?"" ""If you don't help me, what will happen of all those things?"" "But they were just a dream." "Lies" ""A dream, it was." "But was it a lie?"" "I don't remember anything." " I remember it all" "I know what you wanted." "A companion... who will take all your sorrows and give you all his happiness" "That's what I am doing." "I give you all my happiness... won't you give me your sorrow?" "Man some times mistakes his stubbornness for love" "I too perhaps mistook my stubbornness to have Puja... to be my love." "And today... will you marry me?" "Tell me... is this a dream or is it true?" "The decision is up to you" "Should we embrace..." ""should love bring the hues..."" ""may the hues never fade, may my beloved never be angry"" ""Quietly, stealthily, he will arrive..."" "and he'll take me away"
