"That's because there's already so much in there." "Rahul, How come you are back so early?" "Mom..." "These society parties are very boring." "Really?" "In that case you have not taken after your father in these matters." "He used to love such parties... because there used to be a lot of girls there..." "Nandini" "He used to get very happy watching those girls." "Nandiniji..." "If I hadn't watched those beautiful girls... how would I have found you?" " What did you do?" "Your father brought Nandini's proposal..." "When he saw her for the first time he was very pleased..." "And said, he approved of her." "But he said we would have to ask for dowry." "He insisted that the girl should bring from her parents' house... lots of love and along, long ladder." "It's a great tradition." "The elders of the house choose their daughter-in-law." "One can't trust these mad children." "No, Mataji..." "All that was then." "These days everything has changed." " Nothing has changed, Nandini." "But these days children make their choices themselves..." "Nothing has changed, Nandini." "What I meant was..." " Nothing has changed." "But..." " l said it... didn't I?" "That's it!"

"What exactly am I supposed to say?" "Never mind..." "You don't say..." "Can I say another one?" "Love is not an easy path, understand ye all... lt's a trial by fire to be crossed bravely." "Chandu's... spoon's... uncle..." "You have come to meet me..." "haven'tyou?" "Not really..." "I came to meet Daijaan." "So you call her Daijaan' lovingly... eh?" "Of course..."

"Let me meet that Laddoo and that Fattoo... I vow on Sachin Tendulkar that I don't hang them upside down... in the middle of Chandni Chowk I won't call myself Bauji's daughter." "Anjali!" "You don't know, Bauji..." "Can never find place near the Lord..." "That's a good line." "Did you write it your self." "Yes." "Greetings to you." " Greetings." "Anjali, they have come to our house for the first time..." "Get them something to eat." "I'm sure they have had their meals before coming..." "Haven't you seen the size?"

"C'mon just do it." "I can't see Bauji..." "He went to get some food..." "Bauji is inside... I'm telling you, Rukhsar..." "There's something fishy going on." "Anjali, you think he's..." " What?" "He is..." " Yes... even I think the same." "Don't you think?" " Correct." "Even you think the same, don't you?" " You are on the mark Rukhsar." "He wants to take away my shop from me." "Oh Allah!" "What do I do with this girl?" "I'm saying that he might be in... love with you..." " Love?" "Wow, Rukhsar begum, you are really great!" "You think all the girls in Delhi are dead... that he will be in love with me?" "No one loves me here in Chandni Chowk..." "Why would that Yashvardhan's son be interested in me?"

"Really, Aunty..." "Sometimes I wish we were living in India." "And Krishiwould sing the same songs that I grew up singing." "But we are here and I have become mummy' from a mother."

"Oh my God!" "is this our table?" "They do this all the time." "Look at this, Aunty," "They give the front seats to the shining white army and seat us behind." "Why do they do it always?" "..." "No..." "Aunty," "Where is that silly principle?" "She has arrived, the cunningvixen." "is she the Queen of England that she's got the table in the front?" "Please go you silly woman..." "Hope your table starts shaking... hope your chair breaks to pieces." "Should we sit?" "Already there have been a lot of complaints." "Even last year at this function you had created a ruckus!" "Krishi is performing..." "Very nice..." "what's the big deal?" "You just shut up and stop this English woman act of yours!" "Anjali, she's right!" " You keep quiet." "My son's on stage..." "I will at least whistle once." "No..." "No..." "Just one whistle..." "How sweet my son looks!" "He looks just like you, sweetoo!" "God, Please protect my son." "Eh!" "Your son is just performing..." "not fighting a war on the border." "Just see!" " Just see!" "My son!" "My son!" " Even mine." "Now sing your, Do Re Mi'." "Did you do this?" "Now tell me something..." "You must have been a little nervous?" "I was a little nervous." "But someone said some thing to me... and every thing was alright." "What did the person say?" " Just a minute." "If you want to be someone in life..." "if you want to achieve something... lf you want to win,always listen to your hear." "And if even that doesn't give you any answers... close your eyes and think of your parents." "And then you will cross all the hurdles... all your problems will vanish, victory will be yours... only yours." "Who said this?" "Papa?" " No." "He." "Did you take care of mother?" "Did you get selected in the cricket team?" "How did you manage to lose so much weight?" "Why didn't you tell me?" "Why didn't you tell me?" "Come back home, Bhaiyya." "Please come back home." "Come back home, Bhaiyya." "Has Papa sent you?" "Rohan, now this is my family." "These are my people." "This is my world!" "And the home you are talking about was never mine in the first place... and will never be." "You go back now...just go back." "You... I have seen you again, that's enough for me." "Go back." "Do you know Bhaiyya, you often said when I was a child" "That mother loved you more than me." "I never liked it then." "I used to get angry." "But today, I would like to tell you, that you were right." "Mother loves you more than me." "She loves you too much." "And she will always." "She will always - l know." "He hasn't forgotten Dad's words." "He will never come back." "He will come Rohan." "He will definitely come back." "I know my brother-in-law well." "Just get him to meet mother and father." "Will you be able to do that?" "You know, dad..." "I had a strange dream last night." "I dream that you and Mom had come to London to surprise me." "Then?" " What then, dad?" "The alarm went off..." "I mean... why would you and Mom come to London to surprise me?" "I'll speak to you later" "The work's done." "Guess where we are." " Where, dad?" "is it ever possible that my son dreams of something and I don't turn it true." "Tell me where you are right now, we want to meet you just now..." "You are meeting me after such along time." "Present?" "Now..." "at this time... here..." "You meet me at 5p.m. at the Blue water Shopping mall." "But tell me what you want, my child." "You will find what I want right there, Dad." "What's happening here?" " l'm looking for the receipts." "What receipts?" " To return the clothes." "If you have to return them, why do you buy them in the first place?" "The country best in the world is our India..." "Right Mom?" "Mother's stooge!" "Did you tape that?" "That Indian serial, Kyon Ki Saas Bhi kabhi bahuthi." "What a brilliant twist!" "The son dies." "Oh God!" "Really?" "Oh No..." "You have given away the suspense." "What are you doing?" " lt's fine till the hugs" " but he keeps kissing me too." " You have never kissed me so much." "Come home, darling... and see." "Lies!" "You lied to me." "Yes..." "I lied to you, Dad." "What would I have achieved even if I had told truth." "I wouldn't be able to break your ego." "What else is it if not ego, Dad?" "That separates a mother from her child that takes away... a brother from his sibling...that throws a father away from his son...?" "He is not my son!" "I don't believe that he is my son." "Has he fulfilled the duties of a son?" "He didn't." "He did, Dad... he did." "He always fulfilled them." "He only made one mistake..." "Love." "If that is a crime according to your law, so be it." "But isn't it your duty as an elder to forgive him for his mistake?" "But you came down to punishing him." "What kind of punishment is this, Dad?" "What punishment is this?" "Just look into my eyes and say that... you don't feel the pain of parting with him." "Say that you don't remember him." "Say that you don't love him." "Say it, Dad." "Say it." "I don't love him." "I don't love him." "I said it, didn't I?" "God has blessed you with everything, Dad..." "Everything." "I just wish he had given you a heart!" " Shut up!" "You irreverent child!" "You love him." "You love him a lot." "You love him a lot." "I have got my answer." "You really love him." "Let's go back, Rahul." "It's too much now..." "This is not our country." "These are not our people." "We have set up a house here... but have you ever wondered what kind of a home is this... that doesn't have a mother's warmth or a father's blessings?" "Let's go back, Rahul." "Mother and Father are here..." "They are right here." "They are elders." "They are a little angry with us." "But we will ask for forgiveness." "Rahul..." "I know they are as incomplete without us... as we are without them." "We will ask for forgiveness, Rahul." "Let's go back." "You will never understand."
