WiII you heIp me in my battIe?
Who did you pick a fight with this time? - The CIA.
The CIA the watchmen of America.
By producing these meIodramatic seriaIs..
..they're weakening ourfuture generation.
They're turning them into wax.
The CIAis producing these meIodramatic seriaIs?
Of course.
The CIAowns aII these foreign channeIs..
..who eIse can it be?
You'rejust too much..
They think of the future.
Weaken the minds of the women today..
..and the future generation wiII be idiots.
I've started a signature movement.
But no one is signing on it.
Oh, yes.. here, sign it.
Thank you, thank you.
Come, I'II drop you on the scooter.

'To come back, some othertime.'
Can't you drive carefuIIy? You keep jerking the scooter. - Sorry.
'I keep evading my IoneIiness.'
'And time, keeps passing by with my age.'
'Strange coincidence, isn't it?'
'You were with me in my earIy stages in Iife.'
'And now, you're with me at my Iater stages as weII.'
'Last night, I was thinking that one has to wait so Iong..'
'..for another sweet coincidence to occur again.'
'There's one thing.'
'WhiIe writing to you, aII those moments..'
'..that we've spent together orthat we've faced..'
'..I experienced them once again.'
Can't you see the pothoIes? - Sorry.

Grandpa, tea.
Your grandpa asked fortea, why did you get it for me?
Very funny, you fooIed me.
What shouId I do now?.
Next time, I'II cover my face with an umbreIIa.
Grandpa.. - He's a nice boy, daredeviI.
No, Grandpa.. - He's not a daredeviI.
No, he is.. but friend..
Come on, Grandpa, don't you trust me.
I'm going.
'Dear Ganga, I'm fine.'
'And I knowthat you'II be fine as weII.'
No.. this is too common.
It shouId be something speciaI.
What's wrong?
'I received your Ietter.'
'And I'm repIying to it.'
'SneakiIy and covertIy.'
'I don't know why my knees pain.'
'Maybe, I've arthritis..' - Grandpa.
What is it? - Grandpa, I want to ask you something.
Later, I'm praying.
'Look, my heart beat got faster when I heard Sonia's voice.'
'ExactIy, Iike when father wouId scream on me.'
'Strange, isn't it?'
'I've grown oId, but I am stiII scared.'
Coward.
Are you going to write down the prayers..
..and post it to the Lord?
Hey.. get Iost, go.
Where is it? -What do you want?
What do you want? Here, take this.
I'm searching for your Ietterto God.
Let me see what God's address is.
Are you spying on me?
Okay, go ahead. Go ahead.
I'II do it too.
Who was that daredeviI boy?
He scared Kanhaiyya.
Don't you know how to respect eIders?
Let daughter-in-Iaw return.
Grandpa, bIackmaiIing.
That's not right.
I'II teach you a Iesson.
-Yes, fine.
Grandpa has been behaving strangeIy.
He keeps writing something sneakiIy.
Writing sneakiIy? -Yes.
Hey, Senorita.
I think, your oId guy is very serious.
Do something quickIy, or eIse.. -Shut up.
Think, think. He's not a phiIosopher.
He's not a writer. Not ajournaIist.
Your grandpa Kanhaiyya toId him about us.
No probIem. - Don't scare me.
Babes, he's up on cIoud number nine.
He's in Iove. -What?
Yes. -Adi, are you mad?
Grandpa, tea.
Where is it?
What's going on?
Come on, go from here.
There's no need to take so much care of me.
Come on, go.
Okay, Grandpa, I'II sureIy find out.
Hari Singh.
- There comes the postman.
Here. -What have you brought?
ShaII I read it out? - Hey..

Give it to me. - Look..
Hariya, were you seeing yourfate Iines?
Hey.. - Grandpa.

Father, what are you doing in this?
HeIIo.
Hari. -Yes.
Jaggu, here. -Yes.
Tripathi sir is no more.

Sorry, sorry..
Sit on this.
WouId you Iike to have green tea? - NormaI tea.
You don't want sugar in it, right? -Why?
I sureIy wiII. And I'II have four-and-haIf spoons.
The paintings are nice.
What do you know about paintings?
Why didn't you add sugar?
Why are you staring at me?
You wiII never Iisten to me. - I used to.
You Iook betterthis way. - Even in bIack and white.
This bus comes Iate everyday.
The wretch, I don't know why it came on time today.
Here. From me.
Hari, why are you in a hurry?
What's going on?
Excuse me, mister, where is Mr. Trivedi?
What's thejob of a postman?
To deIiverthe Ietters to every house.
Why do you Iook so paIe?
If Trivedi deIivers Ganga's Ietter at home..
Come on, come with me. -Yes, I am.
That means, the other day, the Ietteryou were reading..
..was a Iove Ietter.
Look ahead.
Hariya, the CIA have managed to Iay a trap here too.
Fine, hurry up.
PeopIe faII in Iove in this age onIy in America..
..and not in our country.
The CIAwants to ruin the cuIture of our country.
Our cuIture is so rich, and the CIA. - Hurry up, hurry up..
Yes, I am. -There's Trivedi.
Hurry up, my house is just around the corner.
If he reaches home, I'II be ruined.
I'm driving fast, just because you're my friend.
Hey, wait, wait. -Wait.
Hey, wait.
You're going home with the Ietter.
Give me the Ietter.
Here. -Trivedi.
I've heard, that the postmen often..
..open the Ietters and read it. -Yes, sometimes.
Hey, go, go on.
Hey, Hari..
Love, at this age.
Surprising, how..
Love, at this age.
Maybe it was in our ancestraI cuIture as weII.
OIa Senor.
Do you want to open a bank?
Are you searching for customers?
These are my parents.
He won't come.
And that's me and you.
We'II be there.
These are my friends. He'II come.
He won't come, and he'II come too. -What?
It's my birthday tomorrow.
Here, an invitation foryou.
WiII you come? - Bet you.
This is not foryou, for my grandpa.
Grandpa, you trust me. - Of course.
Don't trust me.
Because, even if you don't want to.

Sona.. I trust you.
I do.
Grandpa.
'The right cure for arthritis is with Ayurveda.'

'Body ache, joint pains, it'II cure everything.'
'Just prepare it properIy.'
'You know, I often go to the river banks.'
'But you won't beIieve it, when I went there today..'
'I feIt Iike that young Hari and Ganga..

'Why did I suddenIy feeI Iike that today?'
How many times?
How many times have I said..
..to keep the newspapers on the rack.
Can't you keep things in its pIace?
Nothing at aII.
I don't know why, Lakshmi Ieft me so earIy.
I don't know why I keep thinking about Ganga.
Everything.
I don't know why.
Adi. Adi.
Isn't it a good idea? -Yes. But where are you?
No. This is wrong.
God. What's the probIem in understanding each other?
Sonia, Iisten to me.
I thought we both wouId be aIone tonight. And..
AIone? Nobody eIse is coming?
Why do you need anybody eIse?
Adi.
You Iaid an emotionaI trap to entice me. Nonsense.
AII the guys are the same. I thought you wouId be different.
I don't want to meet you again. Ever.
Why is this girI stiII awake so Iate in the night?
It's nothing, Grandpa.
I am ready to heIp you.
Grandpa, why are you stiII awake at this hour?.
'I think Sonia and her friend had a fight.'
'She is hiding it. But I understood everything.'
'Look. Friend. I too have started taIking Iike the present generation.'
'The present generation caIIs everybody their friend.'
'But there is a good quaIity about the present generation.'
'They are very dare-deviI.'
'Forget it. How is your coId?'
'Did you inhaIe steam as I toId you?'
'You wiII sureIy get reIief from coId.'
'Laxmi has tried it on me.'
'Do you know?. I tasted mangoes today. They were sour.'
'AII of them. TeII me something.'
'How couId we eat the sourest mangoes in the past?'
'Oh, yes.'
'I didn't teII you anything about Kanhaiya's new deeds.'

'What to do?'

'Some peopIe beIieve it's somebody's conspiracy.'
Dear Ganga.
Last week, when I sawthis painting.. -What?
What about your New York exhibition?
Beware if you made any comments about my paintings.
Do I want to be beaten?
I wiII pass a comment neither on your paining nor on that idiot.
Better.
Now, you won't taIk.
At Ieast teII me whether he has mustered some courage..
..or he is stiII the same.
Coward.
He is the same.
He is betterthis way.
JuIiet Iikes idiot. What can we do?
I have received Ganga's Ietter. It's her birthday.
What shouId I gift her?
Anything that is usefuI to her. Yes.
KamIa.
Where were you?
Do I have to give youjustification?
Don't give it. I too won't teII you that there was a caII.
Who was that man? - Not a man, it was a woman.
I conversed with herfor a Iong time. Who is she? TeII me.
I think she toId me her name too. Ganga.
If you teII me cIearIy then your secret wiII remain safe with me.
Otherwise..
I didn't receive any caII.
But I want to meet her now.
Grandpa, when wiII we go to buy her a gift?
CarefuIIy.
Come.
Let's go there.
Grandpa, is she very beautifuI? -Yes.
Like grandma? -Yes.
Like me? -Yes.
What is this, Grandpa? Yes for everything.
No.
What do you mean? I am not beautifuI? - No.
Grandpa. - No. You're beautifuI.
How can you say that?
Why the heII are you not responding to my caIIs?
Don't behave as if I am a Iesser being. Okay.
What is it caIIed? Derogatory.
Yes. So?
You are a derogatory being. Leave me aIone.
Why?
If you want to go, then go. Let me teII you.
I am not going to take the bIame upon me.
I won't take the bIame.
I knowthat. There is a word in our Ianguage.
Conduct. You guys wiII never know it.
AII Ianguages have this word.
It's not to be known. It's to be understood.
When to use it? When not to use it?
It's to be understood. Oh, no.
Today, wiII you do what your grandma used to do?
You both beIong to the same famiIy, right?
Then why is there a difference between..
..her code of conduct and your code of conduct?
When you understand that, onIy then wiII you understand me.
Look. - Sonia, you have not seen Iife.
You havejust read about it. In moraI science book.
What ruins the future Iife, you guys considerthat as moraI.
When I couIdn't even express it..
..I saw my mom and dad separating.
Damn it.
They think about compatibiIity afterthe chiId is born.
Are you done?
I just knowthat my grandpa was happy..
..with my grandma for40 years.
My parents are together even after giving birth to me.
Nobody tested the other partner before their marriage.
They just heard their conscience.
And they foIIowed it.
You are Iucky.
I too wanted to be Iucky with you.
Luck is a sIippery vendor. I don't beIieve in it.
But I do beIieve in it. - So, we're different.
Good. I wiII Ieave now. Without taking the bIame.
What do you say?
Do what you Iike.
Okay, Senorita. Take care.
We'II meet some othertime.
He is reaIIy a daredeviI.
That is the probIem, Grandpa. He is a daredeviI.
True.
But it's aIso true that he didn't give you faIse hopes.
At Ieast, he didn't promise you sorrow of Iifetime.
We have to gift-pack Taj MahaI.
We have to move on.

Grandpa.
What happened, Grandpa?
I saw many passengers waiting in the waiting room.
But this is the first time that I am experiencing the pain of waiting.
I used to inform them when the train wouId arrive.
But today.. there is nobody to inform me.
Grandpa.
It's been a Iong time since I received Ganga's Ietter.
Grandpa, why don't you caII up grandpa Jaggu?
HeIIo, Jag.. I wanted to taIk to Jagmohan Chadda.
Sir has gone out of town.
Thanks.
What happened, Grandpa?
Jaggu has gone out of town.
Grandpa, wiII you Iisten to me?
You shouId personaIIy go and check on her.
Don't think about things here. I wiII handIe it.
Which bus did you catch?
The time-tabIe of the bus is fine.
You were not fine. So, I came here.
I went home. I found out..
What happened to you?
My body rejected what my heart wanted.
Wow'. Wow!
Did you Iike it? -What a verse!
WiII you taIk in Hindi?
Nothing. It's a minor uterus surgery. That's it.
What a strange co-incidence! -What?
Before retirement, I was transferred to a smaII station.
There I met a fakir. Do you know what he said?
What?
If a person hoIds the hand of his beIoved..
..and Iet his feet stay in the current of the river..
..then his Iife transcends age.
I am bored of sitting in this room.
ShaII we sit outside for a whiIe?
Do you know?.
Who gave me the permission to come here? -Who?
My granddaughter Sonia.
EarIier, eIders wouId give permission.
And now, chiIdren do it.
You're stiII scared.
Are you fine?
Don't make me Iaugh.
Don't hide your pain.
Come. Come and rest.
It was very quiet here. Good that you came.
I am a nice man. You're bound to feeI nice.
Keep coming.
Listen.
Bring mangoes the next time.
Coward.
When did you come? -Inthe afternoon.
I am tired.
Hang on, Papa.
Nobody couId have thought that..
..you wouId receive such Ietters in oId age.
There is a young girI in the house.
We have to think about that, Papa.
Where had you gone?
I had gone to the hospitaI. Her operation has been performed.
Good. Now, wejust have to shout from the rooftop.
Daughter-in-Iaw, Ganga has aIways been with me and Laxmi.
In ourjokes, our arguments, our conversations.
She has aIways been with us.
She never came between us.
Ganga has aIways been IoneIy.
Read our Ietters.
What eIse is it besides sharing IoneIiness?
LoneIiness.
Let it be. Your anger is justified.
PeopIe are not trustworthy. They wiII drag Ganga.
In duties, responsibiIities.
Don't worry.
I.. won't meet Ganga again.
Neither wiII I write her Ietters, nor wiII I read her Ietters.
Never.
Fine?
KamIa, you Ieave. I wiII do it. - Okay.
Mama, grandpa is crying.
How couId you do this to him?
I am Ieaving my job. I have decided.
AIot has happened here in my absence.
Papa has set an extraordinary exampIe.
He didn't even think about his responsibiIity.
I wiII have to ensure that he doesn't infIuence you.
How responsibIe grandpa is, I think you shouId know it better, Mama.
Because you are never here.
You're taIking about exampIes, aren't you?
ExampIe one, he is a great grandpa.
Two, he is a fatherto me when I need a father.
Three, he is a motherto me when I need a mother.
And four, he is my best friend.
Sonia, you're taIking to your mother.
Mama, I knowthat.
Grandpa teaches me to respect eIders too.
I just want to teII you that Ganga is grandpa's first Iove.
Both are IoneIy.
Mama, I just want to request you, just Iet them be.
We're Iiving in the 21st century, Mama.
PIease try and understand.
Grandpa.
- Sona.
Thank God. But what are you doing on the tree?
Ganga wanted mangoes. I wiII send it through Kanhaiyya.
I don't know whether we'II meet again or not.
I am Kanhaiyya.
Scooter Kanhaiyya.
Mangoes.
Hari.
Now, he won't come.
His famiIy members got hoId of your Ietters.
They created a scene.
Poor Hari. He must have got scared, right?
He said to teII you not to write him Ietters.
What do you think? CouId this be CIA's conspiracy?
Hari, her smiIe was just Iike this dusk.
On one hand, there is Iight. On the other hand, onIy darkness.
Knowing that it has to dissoIve into darkness..
..it spreads as much Iight as it can.
Mama.. wiII you pIease come downstairs?
Why? What happened? - I want to show you something.
I wiII caII up papa and teII him everything.
At Ieast, he wiII be abIe to understand grandpa.
I have aIready toId your papa everything.
You must have gone to the tempIe some time orthe other.
You must have worshipped God too.
Have you everthought why you worship Radha and Krishna?
You worship their eternaI Iove.
Hari and Ganga might not be God and Goddess.
But I revere their Iove.
Why do you go to the tempIe?
When you don't revere true Iove at home..
Why this pretence?
Look, Daughter-in-Iaw.
I am a man of Iaw.
I am the oIdest witness of Hari and Ganga's Iove.
I have not come to justify or defend them.
I havejust come as a judge to decIare the verdict..
..that Hari and Ganga are acquitted from the worId's viewpoint.
Daughter-in-Iaw, remember.
A person can do anything in oId age and IoneIiness.
Daughter-in-Iaw, pIease.
You won't be abIe to face your conscience.
Hi.
Laxmi.
Death is an honest enemy.
It never accepts friendship.
It kiIIs youjust once.
But IoneIiness is a stubborn enemy.
When you go to befriend it, it becomes even more stubborn.
It gives you a sIow death.
It kiIIs at home, on the street. And in tempIes too.
And it becomes difficuIt to fight it at this oId age.
In oId age, the time passes very sIowIy.
It Ieads you to such turns..
..where there is onIy siIence.
When you get the chance to..
..move on, you grab it.
You understand, don't you, Laxmi?
You..
ActuaIIy, I don't remember if mama and papa..
..everfought because of Ganga.
'I am not Ganga.'
'I wiII ensure that you take your medicine. Come on.'
'Take it.'
'Yes.'
'Very good.'
Come. Let's see.
Let's see how Ganga Iooks Iike.
Grandpa.
We're going to meet Ganga.
Who aII are going? - Papa, mama and me.
Grandpa.
What is this, Grandpa? You're stiII not ready?
You don't want to come?
What? -Yes. Come quickIy.
Hang on.
I am ready. - Come on. -We are getting Iate.
''I freed myseIf from thorns.''
''I tied ankIets instead of restrictions.''
''Don't stop the fIight of my heart.''
''There goes my heart.''
''I want to Iive again today.''
''I intent to die again today.''
''I want to Iive again today.''
Sing.
You were singing niceIy, Papa. - It's not a good song.
Is that so? Is it?
Back to the goIden days.
HeIIo. Ganga madam has permanentIy Ieft this pIace.
I don't know. To some orphanage.
She said she wiII do sociaI service there.
Hertrain is going to depart in a short whiIe.
We've reached the station.
Go. Go, Hari. Come on.
Fast. - Hurry up.
Now, why did you come?
AII your Iife you remained a coward.
You nevertook the decision.
She has Ieft. Ganga has Ieft.
Grandpa, go. PIease go, Grandpa.
Hari, run. Hari, run.
PIease go, Grandpa. -Yes.
Go, Papa. - Go.
Grandpa, pIease go.
Run, Hari. At Iast now run.
Idiot, yourJuIiet has Ieft. - Go.
Come on. - Run.
Hari.
What's going on?
You've come running, haven't you?
Hari, what was the need to do aII this in this age?
What if you had faIIen and got hurt?
Take deep breaths. - No, I won't.
PIease, take deep breaths. - I won't. I won't take deep breaths.
What wiII you do? What wiII you do?
What difference wouId it have made to you..
..had anything happened to me?
WiII you do whateveryou want to?
You Ieftjust Iike that. You didn't even think about me.
My entire famiIy has come. And you're going to the orphanage.
You thought you're not needed here.
You are needed. I need you.
You're behaving as if I don't have any right on you.
I have a right. I have the fuII right.
Don't go. Don't go this time.
If a person hoIds the hand of his beIoved..
..and Iets his feet stay in the current of river..
..then his Iife transcends age.
