excuse me. what is it? this..- i don't know, ma'am. what do you think of yourself? you were so bothered thatslippers were kept at the door.. ..for a couple of minutesthat you just tossed them away? has something gotten in your eye? didn't you read that board? if your slippers are so precious..
..roam around with themstuffed in your pocket. get lost now.- look.. look, i'm mindful of your age.otherwise.. hey! get going. get going. get going now! do you have a phone?- yes, there. thanks. yes, rashmi. listen. hello? wrong number?who.. sorry! sorry.

..and forgot to charge my cellphone. i had told mother thati don't want to go for this. exactly. i just have toconvey a refusal to that boy. for that, i'm going to have toneedlessly wait until he comes back. listen, rashmi..don't tell mother any of this. just tell her thati got here fine. okay? otherwise, she'll try to call me..and when a call doesn't.. ..get through on my cellphoneshe'll needlessly worry. we'll take this one?- okay?
let's buy two or three.- alright? shall i hang up now? it'll be a problem later.- okay, bye. no, let's just take one now.- just one? pay up. i don't have any money. what are you doing here? me? i've come here to shave. how much is it?- rs.3. here.- please, give it in spare change. rs.3. where should i getspare change from, sir?
shall i give you spare change? here. new to pune, right? what's new about pune? you seem to be new to pune.- yes. you found the address?- oh, i found it. then you mustn't havefound the people there. no, i did. i found rude people.- what? the lady next door repliedby shutting the door in my face.
"i don't know." if one has to learnhow to be insulting.. ..one should learnit from citizens of pune. one moment, ma'am! for an ideal homemaker,this is a busy time.. ..at least in our pune. it's a very naturalthing at such a time.. ..to leave aside what one is doing.. ..and go insult theperson at the door, ma'am.
right?- right. okay, what haveyou decided to do now? why would i do anythingabout the neighbours? what have you decided to do now? how is that your concern? hey.. i'm askingyou out of chivalry.. ..and you're insulting me? we puneites haveculture bred into us. you talk so much!don't you run out of breath?
made in pune. is there a coffee shop.. ..or something ofthe sort around here? a coffee shop?there are 70 here in pune. go straight ahead from here.turn to the lower end. then when you get to the upper end.. one moment. i'll manage. thanks. one moment! let's do one thing. come here, chhotya. go dropthe lady off at the coffee shop.
chhotya? get lost.it's my turn to bat there! go yourself. here, take your mobile. and come back soon, got it? otherwise, you keep whiningto get a second chance to bat. chhotya! auto rickshaw! auto.. shall i drop you off? shall i drop youoff at the coffee shop? are you flirting?- flirting? impossible.
i am a well-cultured guy. how cani leave a girl alone looking for.. ..an address in such a hot day?this is against my principal. we are from pune. okay, okay. the option isn't bad. no looking for the address,and no missing it. that's right. please,keep this mobile in your handbag. don't you wear a helmet? men don't wear a helmet,and definitely not in pune. please, sit properly. and hold on.
i never thought there would be.. ..such a lack ofgratitude among mumbaites. what do you mean? i helped you in findingan address in such a hot day and.. ..you don't even thank me in return? this is called ungratefulness. are you sure?- 100%. it's ungratefulness. no, not about that. are you sure you'renot flirting with me?
this is culture.if a cultured boy such as me.. ..shows the way to agirl who has lost her way.. i understand. oh, no! the charging unit is off. the mobile is now an addictionrather than a necessity. who made that statement?- me. would you tell me whatexactly is your problem? i've come to have a lookat a prospective suitor.
what's there to laugh at? can only boys lookprospective brides over? can't girls lookprospective grooms over? i just asked becausegirls these days.. ..look boys over foreverything except marriage. anyway, did you like the boy? i told you, i didn't meet him. i met his neighbours,and they were rude. what are you worried about?
that boy's numberis in my cellphone.. ..and the cellphone'sbattery is low. what are you saying? you don't have the number memorised? that's why i'm going tohave to wait here until evening. to refuse him? how do you know that? i overheard you talkingon the phone a while back. you were eavesdroppingon my conversation?
eavesdropping?what's the need for that? you've been speakingso loudly until now.. ..that even people onparvati hill can hear you. why would i try to eavesdrop? how can i help you? do one thing. one cold coffee withice cream. - okay. and a corn and spinach sandwichand put cheese in the middle.. ..and grill it on both sides, okay?- okay.
grill it on both sides and..- okay. what would you like to have?- thanks. yes, sir. - one latte.- yes, ma'am. give the mustardsauce separately. yes. why are you so annoyedthat the mobile isn't working? how would i not be? my whole day is going tobe wasted because of that boy. just forget about him. don't take a shotto your head needlessly.
a shot to my head? you just have to refuse him, right? you didn't meet him.fine. just leave. send him an sms afterwards. you mumbai girls are strange. you go along for coffee.. ..with an unknown boyyou've just met twice. but you can't forget abouta boy you haven't even met? hello! it wasn't two meetings.
i asked you the address thefirst time and the second time.. you came after me. what? i came after you?- yes, of course. you mean to say thati'm following you? - it could be. i decided that insteadof roaming around.. ..with some unseemlyfellow in this strange city.. ..a fellow who isfollowing me is preferable. wow! that's great logic. whatever you're sayingis probably right. hey, ma'am!
if need arises we have totreat even a donkey like a king. did you say something to me?- i'm talking about that boy. so, when is thewedding date fixed for? it's not fixed, okay? thank you.- thank you, ma'am. i basically don'tagree with such things. you probably don't letyourself agree with them. that may be. but the thingis that marriage, parents-in-law.. i just don't trust this institution. what does trust have to do with it?it's our culture.
how many years are wegoing to go on saying that? i mean, just look.. i don'teven know what the boy looks like. my mother's friendgave me his number. my mother sent him myphotograph without asking me. and that smarty.. ..looked at my photographand consented to marry me! you're right.how could he consent just like that? he approved on justseeing a photograph? he should have personallymet you and spoken to you.
exactly. that's whati didn't like about him. did you notice it? after so long,we've agreed on something. ma'am, mustard sauce! and moreover, since he's from pune.. ..i didn't evenfeel like meeting him. what?- he's from pune, you know. hey.. what do you meanby "from pune". explain it! i mean, i'm from mumbai,and he's from.. pune. from pune!- "from pune!" what do you mean?
pune boys are smarterthan mumbai boys. it's etched in rock. only pune boys decide that. what's there to decide?it's a universal truth. pune boys go to mumbaiand make a mark for themselves. yes, because there'sno scope in pune.. ..for them to makea mark for themselves. they have to come over to mumbai. there are reasons for that too,understand?
a lack of intelligenceand smartness.. ..has begun to make itselffelt in mumbai. understand? you don't get sucha simple thing, dear. dear?! yuck.- what yuck. what's there to turn your nose up at? it's for this intelligencethat your mother.. ..has selected a pune boy for you. my mother may select 10 boys,but i have to approve. that's your problem, not pune's.
the problem is in pune boys, got it? how you all speak. what.. what was that you said? "the upper end.the lower end." shucks. we use the originalmarathi language. not like you folks with yourmingling of several languages. we don't have mumbai'ssort of confusion here. got it? our language isuncorrupted and clear. our language, and our thoughts too.
what clear languageand uncorrupted thoughts? just a while back,i saw a board outside a door. 'half a litre.' what is that? what? half a litre for whom? what? that's a matterof pune's management. you won't understand. management?- yes. management. man-to-man management. the thing is that the personthe message is meant for..
..understands it perfectly,and acts on it accordingly. we pune folks talk less. we talk less,restrained and to the point. those who have brainsunderstand the point perfectly. one moment. i haven't finished yet. you just brought upthe topic of boards, right? 'puneri patya' (pune's boards).not mumbai nor pune.. ..nor maharashtra northe country nor abroad.. do you know how to use the internet?
then what more can i tellyou about www.puneripatya.com? how much you talk?don't you run out of breath? made in pune! thank you. you puneiteslive in a different world. and independent pune. okay, i'll be off now.i have to get back to bat. hello! i'll just be payingfor my coffee. why?- what do you mean by that? i mean that i don't have any money!- what?
how can that be?- why can't it? i was playing cricket.you came asking for the address. so? - so.. how was i to know thatall this would happen? i don't have any money with me. this is the money for my coffee. please, pay for mine now.i'll pay you back later. what do you mean by 'later'? by later,i mean i'll pay in 10 minutes or so. how?- how? how do i tell you that?
i mean that i have an atm card. do you have money in your account? i have! i have money in the account! how much you harp on about money. one moment. money, money.. take this.until i give you the money.. ..keep this watch of mine. take it! darn mumbai girls!they don't trust anyone. what?- you're giving me the watch, right?
here is the money.now you have to pay me rs.17. and first, hand me my watch. by god, i came to drop youoff at ccd out of basic humanity.. ..and you even chargedme for the coffee. you're very particularabout your accounts. - rs.20. here. you must bea chartered accountant. i'm a fashion designer.- what? oh, i see. okay. so that's what that32-24-36 chit was about.
that's it, right? not bad. the measurements on thatpaper were of a client of mine. no, i guessed that. anyway, what do youthink of pune fashion? it's very outdated. hey! what did you say? pune isn't really maturein matters of fashion.. ..and definitelynot as much as mumbai.
and there's no originality in pune. one moment, one moment. see this?do you know what this is called? 'bigbaali'(traditional ear-piercing). do you know the firstreaction if one sees.. ..a man wearing a 'bigbaali'anywhere in the world? "great. you seem to be from pune." do you know the firstreaction if one sees a man.. ..in a 'dhoti' (long loincloth)and coat in your mumbai?
"great, the gentlemanseems to be from pune." pune's fashion getsone respect and recognition. it also gains attention. what does your mumbaihave that it can call its own? sorry?- you should be. kolhapur is famousfor its slippers.. ..nagpur for its oranges,pune for its majestic attitude. what does your mumbai havethat it can claim as its own? the sea? a saltwater one?
other than the western culture.. ..you all have nothingyou can claim as your own. well? have you been leftspeechless because i argued? are you a virgin? tell me. are you a virgin? hey! what sort ofa question is that? oh, so nothing yet?- that's not it. so there is?- that's not it. hey! i mean, i tried once. just once!
to get close to a girl.- just close? very close.- and then? then.. she got scaredand began to cry. why?- how would i know why? what do you mean?she started to cry for no reason.. ..without you havingdone anything? - yes! what did you do then? what could i do? i got scared too. i started to cry.
i told her, "go on home." shucks. what do you mean?this is called good breeding. i didn't lay hands on the girl!understand? no way. if you don't understand.. ..how to make the most ofthat delicate person and moment.. ..that comes before you,then what's the good of it? of course, you can talk big!
in fact,i think that you must have gone.. ..quite the length in this matter. what do you mean?- what do i mean? i mean that you musthave a phd in this subject. hey, what are you saying? come on!it's the year 2010, and nothing? and moreover, you're from mumbai. it's impossible. no way.- what do you mean? we have kissed each other.
but that happens. right? does your family know? well? what girl would tellher family such things? why? isn't that donein your western culture? no. my family-membersare very straightforward. my father's jobrequires him to travel.. ..and my mother is a homemaker. then how come you're like this?- what? why don't you stay with your father?
didn't i just tell you..- we stay with my uncle. my father insists that his daughtermust be educated in one city. so there are no restrictions, right? that doesn't meani'm out of control, okay? what's his name? yashwantrao. i call him 'dada'('brother' as well as 'father'). what? you call the guy you kiss.. 'dada'? i'm talking about my uncle!
that's why i wondered.you and yashwantrao! sorry, sorry. whose?- his. come on, tell me. tell me his name. there's actually no reasonfor me to tell you. arnav. we met while doing thefashion designing course. arnav? it's a good name. and for this arnav,you're refusing a boy from my pune? is at least that the real fact?
what? the reason for the refusal,or arnav? - both. yes! that! that's the differencebetween mumbai and pune. i got scared. i was frightened. i escorted that girlsafely to her home. and you? you've keptyour family in the dark! hello! that's what you think. my mother knows all about it. all? or all about arnav?- all about arnav.
please. i wouldn't letjust anyone go around with me. despite being from mumbai? it's because i'm from mumbaithat i'm wasting a whole day.. ..to convey a refusalwith propriety. what? wasting?- obviously. all right. doing things other thanwhat one has come for.. ..is called wasting time,at least in my mumbai. come on, let's go see whetheryour gallant has arrived.
once i drop you off there,you'll be free and so will i. if he has arrived, he'll wait. let him also wait for me. what's this now?- yes. isn't it right? now, he should cometo me and propose. then i'll decide what to do. i came all this way for him. but now,i'll meet him at my convenience. and won't time be wasted this way?
i've anyway wasted so much time. what differencedoes a bit more make? you can waste time. i'm leaving. i have to get back there to bat. okay. bye.- bye. hey, isn't somethingcalled saras baug around here? what? what did you say? something called sarasbaug is around here, right?
not something called saras baug!it's saras baug. speak of saras baug with pride,all right? what happened? pride is essential. saras baug! shall i speak? is it near here? i've heard a lot from my mother.. ..about the temple of lordganesh (hindu deity) there. i thought i should go seewhat the gardens of pune look like. no matter how hard you search..
..you won't find greenerylike pune's anywhere else. great. apparently you possessthat quality too. very good. hey, i wasn't talking about them! what a girl she is!she'll provoke a fight no matter what. hello! sorry. thank you. this is saras baug.not something called saras baug. why don't you call arnavand ask him to come here?
if you had called him this morning.. ..he would havealready arrived here. why should i call arnav? to give you company. if you're tired of my company,you can leave. hey.. tell me, when did i say that? you just said that, right?- what? that i should havecalled arnav here.
what a headache this is. hello! if it's causing yousuch a headache, you should leave. i'll go on. can't you talk straight?- you still have doubts? how does that arnavmanage to abide you? he's going to endureevery punishment and torment.. ..to its utmost as lifeimprisonment in this lifetime. one doesn't attainsalvation without suffering. really?
then what of your soul's salvation? or will it remain like this?discontented? of course not.it will attain salvation. when is it going to suffer?- what am i doing now? are you generally in such a hurry?- why? i asked becauseyou're eating so fast. i still have toget back there to bat. the boys must be waiting.- what? they must be waiting.
so, what did you think ofour saras baug's 'bhel' (snack)? it's all right.- what do you mean? i mean that it was nothing great. what sort of an answer is that? you respond likeyou're dissatisfied.. ..even after havingsuch delicious 'bhel'. but i find it just all right.is there some rule.. ..that the 'bhel' mustbe praised because it's of pune? has some board beenput up around here..
..that says 'declarepune's 'bhel' delicious'? but what's theinsecurity in saying.. ..that something good is good? it's not even remotelya matter of insecurity. here, hold this for a moment. here. the thing is that somedishes can be best enjoyed.. ..when they are hadat a suitable place. what new idea is this?- it's nothing new. look, 'idli-vadas','dosas', 'uttapam' (delicacies)..
these dishes taste greatin south indian restaurants. that may be the wayof things in your mumbai. it's not in pune. overconfidence. it's not even remotelya matter of overconfidence. what does this 'bhel'have to do with a place? 'bhel' is 'bhel', prepared with.. ..'shev' (snack), puffed rice,onions and chutney. 'bhel'. i didn't think there wouldbe such lack of interest in pune.
but it's not really your fault. there's no sea here, after all. tell me, what do you mean? ignorance.- ignorance? yes, ignorance.- what do you mean? actually, things like 'shev','bhel-puri' and 'pani-puri'.. ..are meant to beeaten at the seaside. but what can be done? pune has everything.it just lacks the sea.
one moment! does mumbai have a tulsi baug?- what? i got you! this is ignorance. in your mumbai,one may find the sea.. ..the 'mantralaya' (secretariat).. ..and the atomic research centre,but not tulsi baug! why? what's so specialabout tulsi baug? there's nothing that can'tbe found in our tulsi baug. there's jewellery thatglitters like mumbai's sea..
..the grandeur of chants.. the jewellery there has been made.. ..with perhaps greatercare than the scientists.. ..at the atomic researchcentre exercise. after a few years,there may possibly be.. ..no lions to be foundin the african jungle. but.. tulsi baugwill still be in pune. wow. the art of coveringfor the shortcomings.. ..of one's city is worth learning.
shortcomings? what shortcomings? how is it a shortcomingto preserve our culture? tell me..tell me, in all this while.. ..that you've beenroaming around with me.. ..have you even once felt insecure? did you think even oncethat i'd cross the bounds of decency? no, tell me. tell me! and even if i did,was there any option? what do you mean?- i don't have another option.
the one i have is this.one has to make do. - enough! enough, enough.now, you've hurt my self-respect. i won't hear anymore. i'm leaving! yes, you still have to getback to bat, right? go on. bye. yes, i'm going.but keep one thing in mind! in this world,only three things are self-existent. one is the 12 'jyotirlingas'(12 hindu holy places).. ..the second is the 'ashtavinayakganpati' (eight hindu holy places).. hey, look here! and the thirdis the self-respect of puneites.
i won't listen! first, after i droppedher off all the way at ccd.. ..she asked for money. thank god i had my atm card with me. but what would i havedone if i hadn't had it? no.. but there was noappreciation for the fact.. ..that i dropped heroff where she wanted to go. all these problemshappen because of that. that's what holds us back.
what is it? what happened? our culture doesn't permit us.- what? i mean that our culturedoesn't permit us.. ..to leave a girl all byherself in a city unknown to her. when we stand by someone,it's to the end. even if the lion dies,we'll still hold the fort. i know. i know theculture of puneite boys. impossible. what woulda girl who doesn't even know.. ..of tulsi baug knowof pune's culture?
arnav is from pune. tulsi baug is quite somedistance from here, isn't it? she left! hey.. wait! is this of brass?- yes. it's brass. that's brass too. wow. is this made entirely of brass?- it's all brass. let me have a look. it's heavy. very heavy.careful. it's very heavy. wow. it's nice. how much is it for?- it's rs.5,000. rs.5,000? please, reduce it a bit.
it can't be reduced, ma'am. the rates here are reasonable,you see. everyone says that, sir.- just look at her! that's true. but we can't afford it. no, no. i asked because i love it.- yes. i came all this wayfrom mumbai to get it, sir. yes. but we can't afford it,you see. i've been looking foryou all over the place! what are you doing here?- no, thanks.
it was such a terrific piece. don't the shopkeepersin pune reduce prices? why should he? why should he reducethe price for his hard work? so, is my money earned by idling? i too save my hard-earned money. tell me, what's the economiccapital of our country? mumbai, right?and you're from mumbai. so, being a mumbai girl,why do you quibble so much..
..for a bit of money? pay him. your pune was the seatof the peshwa regime, wasn't it? ask that fellow to reduce the price. will you kill the shopkeeperover a bit of money? it's not a matter of killing. money is money.everyone tries to save on that. by while you werecarping about money.. ..what if you hadgotten lost somewhere? you saw what a crowd thereis in our tulsi baug, didn't you?
a crowd? you're trying to scarea mumbai girl with pune's crowds? oh, come on. a crowd is a crowd. what do mumbai orpune have to do with it? am i a child to get lost in a crowd? what sort of girl are you? you were arguing with thatshopkeeper two minutes ago.. ..and now you're fighting with me? it's not a matter of arguing.just get convinced.
say that money is money,and it should be saved. i concede. i concede to you. once you get married you'llsave your husband a lot of money. hello! he'll save his money,i'll save mine. what happened?why are you staring like that? i just can't believethat you could fall in love. what does falling in lovehave to with saving money? nothing.it has nothing to do with it. but i'm just wonderinghow a fierce and abrasive girl..
..such as you can fall in love. one can't sustain oneself on love. and it's all very well totalk about "fierce and abrasive".. ..but does loving dearlymake one less hungry? i'm starving. the 'bhel' we had awhile back wasn't enough. i'm having a lot of acidity.- you're suffering from acidity? come on then.chitale's shop is nearby. let's go havefantastic chilled milk.
milk?- hey, don't say it like it. it's milk. one can make do withmilk that's from.. ..neither a cow nor a buffalo,but it should be from chitale's. but..- no! i won't hear a word. i'm proud. pride. milk. look, if youdon't want to have it, don't. but i'm going to have it. yes, you may. hello, mother. it's me here. i reached here on time this morning.
when i went to that address,the house was locked. how do i see him now? i have that number on my cellphone.. ..and the battery is low.# mother, i'm not making excuses.i'm telling the truth!# the cellphone isn't working.how is that my fault?# mother, if i didn't intend it.. ..would i have come all this way? and i'll be going therethis evening to convey my refusal.
listen, listen.. by refusal,i mean.. i'll just be telling him.. ..that there's no needfor a hurry right now. all right?mother, don't you trust me? that's what i'm waitinghere for, right? all right, wait. tell me. tell me the number.i'll give him a call. and don't worry all the way there,mother. yes, tell me. yes. 09.. yes.yes, mother. i'll give him a call. yes, i'll definitely givehim a call. you.. okay. bye.
bye. bye. how much is it?- rs.2. chitale's 'aamba-barfi'and 'bakarwadis' (delicacies). take it.- i don't want it. try them. they are asymbol of our pune's culture. within two hoursof the shop opening.. ..there's a board outsidethat the 'bakarwadis' are sold out. didn't i say i don't want it? what happened?you look the way a batsman would..
..if the umpire wereto wrongly declare him out.. ..when one ball iswanted off two balls. who were you talking to? arnav? please, will you stopthis nonsense? please? i want some peace. i don't understandjust what's going on. with whom?- with me. things are going rather well,aren't they? that's what you think.rather, everyone thinks so.
things are indeed going well, right? i have no idea how to behave.- with whom? may i speak? all by yourself?- it looks like it. you know.. ..there's a huge drawbackof coming to such places. when we come to such places.. ..we think a little toomuch about ourselves, don't we? we don't think so.
that's your problem. you're a mumbaite. where would mumbaites such as you.. ..get to experience nature?there are always.. ..buildings commotion,crowds, people all around you. have a look at this!this is true nature. and this nature is ashouting distance away for us. so when we come here,we don't end up.. ..feeling uneasy andgetting into thought.
but it's natural foryou folks to feel that way. you never feel uneasy?- never. definitely? - what do you mean?of course, definitely. then what happened awhile back at the tulsi baug? what happened?- you tell me what happened. at the tulsi baug.. you got lost in the crowd. that's all? that's it?- yes. seeing that i wasn't with you,didn't you get uneasy?
uneasy? you weren't troubled at not finding me?- no, i wasn't. sure? - what does thathave to do with anything? you really weren'ttroubled at not finding me? what are you so insistenton this point for? you really didn't get uneasy? how many times musti repeat the same thing? i didn't. i didn't. you're such a tricky fellow.
you never show what you feel. what you say is never what you feel. the intentions, the words and.. ..the thoughts have nothingto so with each other. you're always playing, aren't you? with whom?- with yourself. you take the otherperson's help to create.. ..such an ambience thatno one can get to your heart. okay, i'll be leaving now.- you're running away.
tell me. when i wasn'twith you at the tulsi baug.. ..you got uneasy.what was that all about? oh, come on.why are you carping on and on.. ..about tulsi baug likeit's the point of kannada marathi? you're stuck on that point!i had.. i was troubled. satisfied? no, not to change the topic.don't say it that way, please. but what do you want to prove? the falseness in you.- false.. hey! i'm not a liar! i was troubled!
i was trouble. i got uneasy. but.. but i was responsiblefor you today. that's why i.. what if somethinghad happened to you? i mean, regardless ofwhether it's mumbai or pune.. i would have been at fault.. ..if you had gotten lost somewhere. i would have gottenuneasy just this way.. wow. we agree in ouropinion about mumbai and pune. impossible. it's impossiblefor us to agree on an opinion!
but you, yourself, saidthis morning at the coffee shop.. ..that we were of the same opinion! that was my opinion,not my decision. i don't like girls such as you. i mean, i don't like them. lend me a hand! yes, what were you saying? you don't like girls such as me? girls with your sort of temperament.
changing from onemoment to the next. i don't like thatsort of temperament. what sort of girls do you like then? the ones who get scaredwhen you come close? ones who cry? that wasn't her temperament!the situation was such. it was the first experience,for us both. and one does getscared the first time. i see. one doesn'tget scared the second time?
the second time.. what about the second time? the second..the second time, the girl.. was she a different one? what do you mean by that?do you think i'm a flirt? tell me her name. whose?- the second girl's. what's in a name? names are names.my name, your name, her name..
hey, what's your name?- don't change the topic. tell me her name. tell me her name. what's so important about a name? see? you asked everything about me.. ..but you won't tellme anything about yourself. that's why i called you a liar!you really are a liar. sungchi.- what happened? sungchi.- what's that? the name.
of what? the second girl's name.but she was my first true love. sungchi! why? what's thereto laugh so much about? do people in your mumbaifind out the other person's name.. ..and then decidewhether to fall in love? no. sorry, sorry. truly sorry. no.. i mean,i assumed you had a girlfriend.
i had even guessedsome names for her. i mean.. supriya, vaidehi, madhuri.. suzanne, for that matter.but.. sungchi! sorry. where did you meet her? where did you meet sungchi? in pune itself. she was japanese.- i got that. what was she like? she was wonderful. her sweet little eyes,a pert little nose..
..those lips and their pout. it wasn't cosmetic, all right?it was natural. some friends of minehad a room in koregaon park. she stayed in the room across. we would see other in passing. then one day, we met. you must have met up withher on some pretext, right? that i wanted to learn japanese. so, what did she say?- she said, "teach me sanskrit."
great. what then? what then?first japanese, then sanskrit. and then marathi.- marathi too? would i have let that be? who fell in love? we both fell in love with each other.- how sweet. but she was more in lovewith my poems than with me. what? poems? why? can't puneiteboys write poetry?
no, that's not it. but she was japanese,the poems were in marathi.. difficult to understand, right? no. because poems aren'tmeant to be understood. what are meant to beunderstood are the feelings. will you recite one to me? "sometimes you arelike drizzling rain." "sometimes you arelike bright moonlight." "sometimes you are.."
"like a waterfall." "like wild winds." "like lightning in the sky." "like noisy waves." "like sodden paths." "like a night drenched in the rain." "sometimes you're likethe blossomed nightjasmine.." "..spreading fragrance in the air.." "..in the wiled forest."
"sometimes you're likethe green petals of champak." "even if you are.." "..like an understoodyet unexplained.." "..visible yet unseen mirage." "yet, you're likemy closed eyelids." cool! wow! wow! superb. fantastic. you sing fantastically. i don't get one thing.who exactly is in your system?
sung chi or poetry? both. cool. you really sing very well. but is she really so beautiful.. ..that you see herin everything around you? heavy stuff. she's fat? it's okay.love is love. love knows no shape. heavy stuff means solid.
heavy.- i see. - yes. heavy means solid. solid? were you making fun of me?- no. are you making fun of me?- i swear wasn't. i swear. you know what? you don't get to see such guys. i mean guys who makepoetry for their girlfriends.. ..write songs for them.
what's their inspiration?what inspires them? i really don't know. it's amazing. may i also say something?- yes. there aren't anybeautiful girls around.. ..for whom one can thinkof a song or write poetry. these days, girls askabout the guy's income first. emotions, attachment come later on. what's wrong about that? this morning we wentto the coffee shop.
you didn't bring any money. what would have happenedif i didn't have any money either? what would we have done? we would have endedup washing dishes. why are you tauntingme with that incident? i'm just giving an example. besides,everyone is looking for security. it's all right that you do poetry.you write good poetry. you might have writtensongs for sung chi, but..
don't you need to eat? are you suffering from bulimia? you're always talking about food. it's not like that.but sung chi must have asked you.. ..about your educationabout your future plans. what are your future plans?it's obvious. when you look at me,what impression do you get? how educated am i. who am i? no. no.
don't say anything. don't guess. i'll get insulted again. are you telling me whoyou are and what you do? i'm a mr.- mentally retarded? that's a class iii joke. doesn't matter. i like it. where do you work? slavery is not in my blood.- made in pune. i wanted to be a sportsman.
cricket?- yes. parents said firstcomplete your graduation. then told me to get a job. and then?- rebellion. i said i can't do it. we quarrelled.still do. but that's very common. mumbai or pune.doesn't make a difference. did you marry sung chi? why?
didn't work out. why is that? did she get scared as well? started crying? what do you do to these girls? it's nothing like that. i know. i know. but you might not have lookedat any other girl after sung chi. i think you're tooloyal to your emotions.
i don't know why. but i didn't findany other girl like her. or you didn't look for one? do you really find suchpeople if you go looking for them? what an irony. shoes, footwear,clothes are available as per size. if not, you can get them made. but you don't getthose things. right? you don't look like anextremely emotional person.
tell me. how is arnav? shall we leave? you're running away. no. we'll be late. are you firm on your refusalor have you changed your mind? why would i change my mind? how would i know? you have a very strange nature. you're avoidingspeaking about arnav.
you said one thing when we met. now you're saying somethingdifferent. so strange. when we reach hridaymardam'shouse in an hour.. ..you'll say you'll marry him. you're more worriedabout my marriage than i am. what's the harm? tell me. what's the harm? if hridaymardam hasa really good nature.. ..then what's theharm in marrying him?
listen. besides, you camehere from mumbai to meet him, right? does arnav know?- will you please shut up? do you have to jokeabout everything? this is great. all this while you were makingfun of me. that's justified. and when i make fun of you,you're like.. "will you shut up?" okay. fine. fine. i'm sorry.
there's no question of saying sorry. you can talk non-stopwithout thinking about.. ..the state of mindof the person with you. nonsense. just a minute. stop! if you don't tell me aboutyour problem, how will i know? we met each other justa couple of hours ago. what do you expect? i should read your mind immediately.
i'd be wrong if i expect that. all guys are the same. i came here to find some peace. instead,coming here has hurt me further. hold it! what rubbish are you talking about? you're accusing me directly.you're insulting me. shut up. nonsense.you can't say anything you like. do you think about otherpeople's state of mind? tell me.
you can do everything. you can make fun and insult others. but if someone elsedoes that to you.. ..you get angry immediately. you must be dominatingarnav like this. i'm going to meet hridaymardam.. ..and tell him not to marry this girl.he'll regret it all his life. come.. she's crying?
i'm done for. don't cry. don't cry. i was just joking. i.. i don't even have a kerchief. i.. i was just joking. listen.. he's gone. don't cry. i was just joking. i say.. listen to me. look. i swear i was just joking.
face me. turn around. please face me. just once. look. get rid of your tear.get rid of them. you know my nature. i speak nonsense. we were togetherfor almost five hours. you know me enough. i swear i didn't mean it.i was just joking. that's what everyone saysafter they've had their say.
everyone?- i mean everyone. including arnav. that's why you.. hey, listen. listen. such quarrels are quitecommon among couples. and.. i thought.. thank god. okay. okay. now tell me.
who do we quarrel with? answer me. who do we quarrel with? i can quarrel with anyone.let me show you. hey! hey! come here! come here! who are you calling?- the one who just passed us by. no! - what are you looking at?- no. go on. go on. don't listen to her.- let me show you how i quarrel. go on. go. - come here.- go on. go.
go on.- let me quarrel.. are you crazy?how can you quarrel with strangers? you asked who we quarrel with.i was showing you. i asked a basic question.give me a basic answer. who do we quarrel with?- with anyone. anyone with whomwe don't agree. - yes. who do we go to convinceand get convinced? tell me. are you taking a verbal test?
come on, answer me. i don't know.i haven't thought about it. i'll tell you. our loved ones. we quarrel with a personwho we feel should never leave us.. ..or with a person whowhen leaves us we feel hurt. right?- maybe. which of these feelingsdo you have in your heart? i.. i don't know.
so why are you telling me? to pacify you. doesn't arnav talkto you to pacify you? arnav is no longera part of my life. arnav was never able to managethe balance in our relationship. we'd quarrel a lot. if i got angry,he'd turn his back and leave. he never understood the funin quarrelling and patching up. and then we'd not calleach for a couple of days.
even if we did meet, we didn't talk. every time i'd go after him. even if it was his mistake,i'd pacify him. i should plead to him. how long could that go on? then? then what? one day, i turned my back on him.i thought it's enough. not any more. enough is enough.
he didn't come to pacify me. forget it. listen.. - no. it doesn'tmake any difference to me. yes..- don't get emotional. no, i.. - and don't try tobe sympathetic towards me please. yes, guys have this habitto lend a shoulder when girls cry. they always lend ashoulder when a girl cries. i don't need that. i can handle myself. seriously.
it's too late. can we leave please? just a minute. - what? stop a minute. stop. stop a minute. - what happened? i think your cell-phone is ringing.- let me see. it got disconnected. it was chotya's call.i still have to bat. hop on. i'll call him later. if you don't mind,can i make a call?
whom? hridaymardam? let me call and check whetherhe's back. i'll ask him. do one thing.make your call. i'll be right back. didn't work. let me try once more. and he bowls an in-swinger. and he's bowled. here. take it. so, made the call?
no. his number is busy. you're trying his numberand he might be trying yours. that is fun. i guess we should go thereand check whether he's back. going by your eagerness, i feel.. ..you'll surely sayyes to hridaymardam. how can you read people's minds? take this. did you turn sung chi downor did she leave you?
i told her she can go. i can get many other girls. and you won't lookat any one of them. i need to compliment you. i have a great smile. you look great when you smile. why did you leave her? i mean sung chi. my parents were notin favour of our marriage.
i convinced them and theygave in for the sake of our love. but sung chi placed a new condition. she didn't want to live withmy parents. that's what she said. and? and what? i said that's not done.- why? it's a fashion these days. fashion?- yes, fashion. differences crop up after marriage.there are quarrels.
instead of livingseparately later on.. ..you should be readyto do it before marriage. be ready? you should be ready tolive away from your parents? of course.- for whom? for your family.- you should leave your family? you should leave your familyto bring up another family? parents work hardto bring up their son.. ..they educate him, give him a home.
and the son should leavethem on a girl's bidding. doesn't the girl leaveher family on the guy's bidding? that's a tradition. if you follow that tradition,then why not this one?# who does a girl trustwhen she leaves her home.. ..and goes to her husband's home? her husband. her parents also workedhard to bring her up. for the sake of this bargaining,why should i leave my parents?
you don't leave them forever. you can meet them duringfestivals and other such days. i see. after marriage,the wife gets full attention.. ..while the parentsget only part of it. it depends on how you look at it. you girls do that quite expertly. did arnav and youfight because of this? yes, this too.- okay.
but arnav didn't have answersto questions asked to him. what's my fault? and what about thequestions asked to you? i haven't found answersto all the questions. but i didn't fret about it. i took a decision. we parted ways. is that so easy? it's not difficult either. tell me. we are in love.
when did that happen? i mean sung chi and you.arnav and i. we are in love.- yes. you guys want to have your own way. not this dress.wear these jeans. kiss me right now. what happens tolove and culture then? what's wrong if girlswant to have their own way? i think both are equallyresponsible for the problem. i don't think so.
i can prove it. go ahead.- okay. what is a marriage? i don't know. the problem starts here. the concept mighthave changed these days.. ..but earlier marriagewas a holy ceremony.. ..carried out with god as witnessand the blessings of the elders. such costly affairsdo happen today as well.
and then there wasa concept called honeymoon. it's still in practice.- yes. but these days, we get too closeto each other before marriage.. ..and lose the sweetness in it.don't you think so? for instance. it's fun when relationshipsblossom gradually. the first touch duringthe honeymoon. the first embrace. husband and wife in a room.- two strangers. strangers. i agree.
but they got to knoweach other after marriage. the touching of handswhile in a crowd. being shy. waiting for each other. from the sneezing habitto the favourite food. they got to knoweverything gradually. that fun has been lost. but if both the girl and guy.. ..sensibly and maturely come closeto each other before marriage.. ..then what's the harm?
i'll tell you what the harm is. earlier, out of 100 marriagesaround 10 or 20 would break down. mutual differences and what not. but now, out of 100 marriagesonly 10 or 20 survive. eighty percent marriages are broken.do you know the reason? because we don't letthe relationships blossom. we destroy the funbefore they blossom. look, if you don't needthese break-up and patch-ups.. ..then i say youshouldn't get married.
what do we do to knoweach other's habits.. ..from honeymoonto yawning to burps? get married? so the bottom lineis you won't get married. you're confident that yourfavourite family and groom.. ..still don't exist orthey will never come into being. that's what you think. you're imaginingmost of these things. so why are you against marriage?- who? - you.
when did i say that? a moment ago. that's my opinion. not my decision. what a strange girl. i am like that.i'll swim with the current. i'll be responsiblefor surviving or drowning. do you at least believe in god? i believe in myself. you love yourself so much.that's not good.
not bad either. isn't it better thanloving someone else.. ..and getting yourexpectations destroyed? now you sound likeyou belong to pune. where's dagdushethganpati temple in pune? what is lord ganesh doing here? you touched the topic ofgod and i was reminded of it. but you believe in yourself. but i didn't sayi don't believe in god.
to the left is road to pune stationto the right is hridaymardam. where do you want to go?- that's all there is in pune? there's lot more to pune. the time to go to mumbai is near. how about one last coffee? we punites aren't so miserly.. ..to have one coffeebetween two people. we'll have two cups of coffee. who will pay the bill?
get down. who's your favourite hero? you. i'm not a movie buff. i love travelling. didn't arnav take you around pune? i'm sure he too wasrattled by your nature. what do you mean by "he too"?- he too. he too must have beenrattled just like i am.
you didn't know howthe day flew by, did you? i did. i meant the day was wonderful. so? what are you going to do about him? why think about someonewho is not part of my life? i'm talking about hridaymardam. so am i. may i ask something?
you want my permission?so much respect? that was unexpected. it's a personal question.so i took your permission. i was raised with these values. my.. you must have guessed it, right? shoot. you can't forget arnav.. ..and that's why you'rerefusing hridaymardam, right? yes.
did you miss arnaveven once all day today? '1007, pune-mumbai deccan express..' '..is arriving on platformno.1 in a little while.' your train will come in 20 minutes.it's on time. i've written down the reasonswhy i can't get married. - yes. stick it on hridaymardam's door. half litre. take it. your pune has taught mea new form of communication.
of course.pune is way ahead in education. nonsense.- nonsense? it's no nonsense.pune is the home of education. pune has..- i got it. pune. pune. i hate this silence. what silence? it's so crowded. it's so noisy and don'tforget the announcements.
tell me. where do you hear silence? i warn you. if i hold your hand,you'll start crying and get scared. see you.- again? cell-phone.- oh! cell-phone is no longer a necessity.it's an addiction. did you miss your cell-phoneeven once since morning? but did you miss arnaveven once since morning? still, you're going to go back.
same here. okay. bye. give me your number.i'll note it down. pen. pen. i'll give you my contact number. you'll write it down on your palm. and it will get washed away. we're not goingto meet again anyway. instead, remember this day.
what say?- well, okay. and check your cell-phone as well. you must have saved enough battery.- yes, you're right. yes. call up ormessage hridaymardam.. ..and tell him the reasonsfor not marrying him. 'not interested.' our half litre formula is the best. just check. you mighthave missed calls and messages. just check.he must also be trying your number.
he must be eager toknow who and how she is. how can you say he'll agreeto marry me upon meeting me? accidents do happen. some have this strange habit. while walking straight, theyintentionally fall in the ditch. what's your name? pune. wow! and yours?
mumbai. okay, bye.- bye. hello. hi. no, i just left. pune station. i know. i know. we should have met.. ..but actually,i waited all day so.. no. i have 15 minutesbefore the train leaves.
outside the station? okay. i'm coming. bye. just as you came to thegrocer's to have a haircut.. ..so i came to thestation for the ceremony. you can't speak straight, can you? i was joking. but why are you still here?what happened? i've been kicking the scooter.it isn't starting. i took you around town sincemorning. ran out of fuel, i guess.
i didn't realize it. you still have to bat, right? i can't bat now. chhotya called.we lost the match as well. because i wasn't there.- i know. so sad. anyway, bye. bye. ungrateful. i was right.
you are ungrateful. what's so ungrateful about it? tell me. who did i come here for? i don't know who you came here for. yes. i can say thatyou're here to drop me. isn't it true?so, i can't start my scooter. i'm tired of kicking it.i'm full of sweat and you're leaving. i have a train to catch. this is how you behavedat the coffee shop this morning.
you didn't even offer me water. i paid your share of the bill.have you forgotten? i mortgaged my expensivewatch in exchange. i withdrew money froman atm and gave you the money. you forgot that. we neither take nor give charity. values of pune, you see. i've seen your values. of course. pleasant, aren't they?
i can see that. i haven't forgotten thehot babes riding on your scooter. it was nothing like that. i'll repeat the same thing again. i swear on lord ganesh thati was talking about saras park. and what are you doing hereinstead of waiting at the platform? he called a while ago. arnav called? have you both patched up?
that's good news. congratulations. hridaymardam. oh, my god! you pronounced it right. amazing. what did he say? he didn't say much.he's coming here to meet me. asked me to wait outside. and you're waiting for him? why? i still have ten minutes.
i thought it's noharm in meeting him. besides, that's why i came here. and he sounded decent on the phone. looks like it's going to work out. it's not as if it's goingto work out. i'm just meeting him. want to bet?- what? you will agree to marry him.want to bet? i guessed right, didn't i? didn't i?
while we were at sinhagarhi saw how eager you were. i knew then thatyou'll say yes to him. no. i know yourthoughts about marriage. but at lord ganesh's temple youmust have asked for hridaymardam. he heard your prayers.hail lord ganesh. this is too much, okay? because of your impudent behavioursung chi must have left you. stay separately is just an excuse. sung chi must havehad some reason to leave.
but look at the eagernessto meet him on your face. you were headed towards mumbaibut your feet brought you outside. that's amazing. amazing. quiet. don't bug me, okay? don't bug me? great. this is just great. the mumbai to poona journeyis testing my patience. it's not poona. it's pune. pride. pune.
enough. pune. okay?- okay. i say, introduceme to him when he comes. what do you mean why? you were able to forget arnav.. ..because you travelledwith be all day. and because you forgot arnav,you're meeting this gentleman. what?- no. i'm your first friend in pune. i must get the creditof this marriage. he's come. he's come.
look at your face. you're so restless. instead, call him upand ask him where he is. well, his call drainedmy cell-phone battery. take my cell-phone. didn't you use my phoneto a while ago? - actually. the number nextto yours in the list. it must be in the dialled list. yes, a while ago..
same again. it's engaged. anyway, i'm leaving. the announcement has been made.i'll have to run. what if he comes? he'll come when he comes.should i wait until then? our half litre formula is best.okay. bye. hold it. hold it. how did you get my number? i never gave it to you.
that's not so important. just think. how can you call anumber you're calling from? you can't call a numberyou're calling from. how is that possible? how stupid. nobody calls a numberhe is calling from. okay. bye. anyway. you did. not once, but twice.
you called the numberyou were calling from. you said if he comesto me and proposes.. ..only then will you decide. i'm right in front of you. will you marry me? you asked my address to me. i thought since itwas just a coincidence.. ..i should use a new wayof choosing a life partner. look. standing rightin front of you.
answer me. well, it's not hurting anyway.- it doesn't? are you crazy?- you're so shameless. why are you hitting me? sorry. sorry. sorry. why did you hit me? what was the need to do all that? what was the need? didn't you insultpune the moment we met?
and my pride for pune was hurt. after marriage, will youstill boast about your pride? shouldn't i? shouldn't i? and after marriage,you will have to be proud of pune. because if we get married,you'll also be a puneite. if you want to become a mumbaite.. ..then you'll have toagree to some conditions. okay? we'll see.- yes. if that is going to happen,then i'll need a prior confirmation.
what confirmation? what? that i'm going to be a mumbaite.- yes. i'll talk to mother about it. when are you going talk?here's my phone. talk now. i'll talk to her. am i afraidor what? it's just my mother. i have to tell herthat i met you, right? here you are. it's ringing. hello, mother. yes, listen. i..
i'm still in pune. i.. met him. yes, mother. i met him. i'm talking from his cell-phone. mother, do i have to tellyou everything on the phone? no, i'll tell you everythingwhen i come home. okay? she shied away. ma'am, you know that too? it's nothing. mother said something.
mother said something. may i say something? i know.- what? i look very beautifulwhen i shy away. you shy away beautifully. really. i love you. in japanese. looks like sung chi taught you.
don't worry. i'll teach you. but say it first.- what? i love you? go away.- go where? just say it once. i love you. give me at leastthat much confirmation. after i talk to mother. mother.. is your mother goingto say "i love you"? - hey!
quiet. that's my train.i'm getting late. why are you angry again? listen to me. listen. we'll talk on the phone later. but listen. i'll definitely call you. listen to me first.go there. - i'll miss my train. you're going to meet mother. "i wonder why, at that moment,how i lose my heart."
"how do these foggyfeelings blossom?" "i feel playful." "these bonds of love are formed." "sweet relationships for eternity."
