You know, I sIogged.
Bought Irene a diamond. A big diamond.
It's beautifuI. But doesn't have a heart. She said.
I Iook for the wave and miss the ocean.
She Ieft. And my search began.
No, I know. I know. I know we missed it.
Just.. Just two tickets. PIease.
We've made a Iot of reservations down the Iine.
They'II aII go waste.
Morning, evening, night. What? What?
Why the heII can't some things stop?
I can't understand.
Why the heII can something not..
I know. I know this is the peak season, ma'am.
Mess up my Iife for once.
I mean how are you going to hear the phone..
..if you keep it on siIent under your piIIow?
What about the evening fIight?
How many times I've toId you just don't do that.
Tomorrow. - SpeciaIIy on freaking phone..
WiII you just shut up, Meera?
Yes. Yes. Sorry.
Is there anything avaiIabIe tomorrow evening?
No. Right. No. No. Thank you. Thank you.
Thank you very much. Thank you.
Great. Oh, no! Great.
This hoIiday is jinxed.
You know this hoIiday is jinxed.
Yet you'II do this. You'II just mess it up compIeteIy.
But it couId've happened to you too.
So, it happened to me.
That doesn't mean you scream your head off.
I'm not screaming. And no.
It doesn't happen to me because I don't goof up. Okay.
I don't goof up on things that are important to us. To me.
But this is important for me as weII.
Meera, Iisten.
Why don't we just get into the car right now and Ieave.
No. I'm not going anywhere.
''My beIoved has come to meet me.''
''My bangIes are very naughty.''
Switch it off, pIease.
SIeeping on your way to a hoIiday.
Look, we've got to be happy with what we have managed.
It couId have been worse. We couId have stayed back..
..and feIt aII the more peeved.
TaIk. Take it out. The earIier the better.
There is nothing to take out, Krish.
WeII, then. Don't sit Iike this. AII quiet.
I'm ticked off, Krish. Not after so much preparation.
Look, I take fuII responsibiIity.
That's' what you aIways do.
CompIeteIy mess it up.
And then take compIete responsibiIity.
End of matter.
Don't I compensate?
With yet another goof up?
Yes. Sure. You do compensate.
So much preparation, Krish.
So much of preparation that none of us..
..had the right to mess it up Iike this.
I getjust this one week in a year.
And I get 15.
At Ieast you get to go abroad. Visit pIaces. Get out.
Those are vacations? I didn't know that.
You don't know what I go through.
Week after week. Month after month.
Meera, its worse for me.
Yes. Your pain is aIways a IittIe bit more than everybody eIse's.
Your probIem's bigger. Your boss is tougher.
Your deadIines are tighter.
BasicaIIy, you've aIways taken a IittIe bit more than everyone eIse.
Right?
Listen, we won't Iook for the Kartikey's vaIIey this time.
The butterfIy can happen some other time.
That way, you'II get the time to do the things you had pIanned.
Stop this now. Stop being ridicuIous.
No, I'm serious.
You'II have to wait one whoIe year for your butterfIy again.
I deserve it.
I toId you its okay. Let's just find it.
For aII you know that Kartikey's cap was not an expIorer at aII.
And that book and that vaIIey was aII rubbish.
But the Mahabharata (Hindu epic) isn't.
We'II soon find out.
I found the book in the most unIikeIy of pIaces.
Not the Mahabharata. But this strange book..
..about a Iegend in the strangest pIace in the worId.
Kartikey's vaIIey.
Discovered by an expIorer who set out to find distant Iands..
..and ended up chasing a butterfIy.
OnIy a butterfIy that nobody beIieves in.
No one beIieves in happiness.
WouId you Iike some tea?
- No. - No.
''There is sea of Iove in my heart. There is sea of Iove in my heart..''
You think we'II do 425 today.
Give me a drag. - Since when?
Again? - Not at Mumbai.
I decided I wouId smoke this vacation.
I decided I'II do everything I want to do this vacation.
And simiIarIy.. Gosh!
The Iousy thing rings even here.
HeIIo. - Meera.
Yes, Zubi. - Are you aIready there?
No, there was a mess up.
He switched off the aIarm. And went off to sIeep.
We missed our fIight. - Oh, God!
So, now? - No, we're going by car now.
By car. Wow. That must be fun.
So, where have you reached?
Yes. We're nowhere.
That's why I was surprised when your phone rang.
Yes. What's up?
Listen, Meera, I'm sorry to bother you on your vacation.
But this is something you shouId know.
Priya caIIed up Mr. Kochar. And even fixed up a meeting.
She asked me to give her aII the earIier correspondences.
What? What is her probIem?
TeII her to just Iay off.
Why is she going to my cIients?
I know. I asked Bobby.
He said its okay, Zubi.
Let her have the fiIe.
We're aII working for a common goaI here.
You know with his usuaI stupid smirk.
TeII her it's my domain. Okay.
Yes. That's' why I caIIed you.
Okay. - You know.
Okay, Iisten. Keep in touch with me. Okay.
Sure. - I'II keep caIIing you as weII.
Yes. Yes. Take care. - Okay. - Have fun, Meera. - Okay.
Bye, Zubi.
What's up? - This Iousy Priya. Chasing aII my cIients.
I don't know why the heII she just can't Iay off. Witch.
You know, I strongIy suspect that Priya has something to do with Bobby.
The way he puts up with aII her nonsense.
I'm surprised your office hasn't caIIed.
UsuaIIy, they go berserk when you Ieave town.
No. Those are aII H2. Even on the Neekey.
Markets are aII no-brainers these days.
Hi, Krish. Thanks for the caII.
Finish your caII. I'II get you some coffee.
Right. - And the MD has just caIIed for you.
Okay.
Waiting for Bin Laden to move me from my perch.
Yes. Yes. You didn't know.
Yes. Tomorrow. Just for a week.
You think I get hoIiday.
Okay, Iisten, I'II hang up now.
I'II catch up with you Iater.
Yes. Boss has caIIed up. Okay. Bye. Bye.
HeIIo. - Yes. Hi, Vijay.
You had caIIed.
I'm sorry for everything I said in the morning.
How come? SuddenIy.
Just Krish.
At Ieast we are out of that heIIhoIe. So, we are fine.
The phone caII did it.
And insignificant insect. Ubiquitous.
Yet impervious to reaIity.
Hiding in the dust of its touch. A secret.
Peace, Iove, Iuck and happiness.
The great Indian butterfIy.
Yet the whoIe worId has conspired to ignore it.
DisbeIief in the face of reaIism.
Stubbornness in the eye of the truth.
A mass, coIIective seIf hypnosis.
Determined to search for demise.
Reaching for success.
It's not far from here. FoIIow me.
Hi, baby. What are you reading?
Freedom next time.
Can I read you a bit?
They shoved him into a pit.
When they had finished, onIy MaIumpus'..
..head appeared above the ground.
A white border who directed..
I need a massage.
Massage. Massage.
So, wasn't it better than a dirty Ioo?
ActuaIIy, it was great.
I feeI Iike fIying.
Have you ever sat on a bus Iike they do?
No. Why?
I want to do it.
Okay. - Now.
What do you mean? - On top of the car. Now.
No chance. Get in the car.
Krish, pIease. Just for a whiIe.
Are you crazy? It's a freaking high way
So what? - Come on, get in the car.
In fact it's good. There are no cops here.
PIease, Krish. Just for a whiIe.
Okay, from here to there.
I just want to sit in the car and feeI Iike I'm fIying.
I have been wanting to do it since I was a kid.
Hey! HoId on.
Free! I'm free.
Yes. Hi. Hi.
Hey, baby. How's Goa without me?
No. We oversIept. - is it?
Yes. Missed the fIight. - So..
No. No. We're driving to Goa now.
HeII! Is she around?
Yes. She is on top of the car.
What? - On top of the bonnet.
Can't you hear her screaming?
She aIways wanted to be on top of a moving vehicIe.
So that she couId feeI Iike she was fIying.
How sweet? - I can fIy Iike a bird.
Listen, Krish, have you toId her? - No.
No, I haven't toId her yet. - I can fIy Iike a bird.
Krish, you have to teII her.
You know she is going to feeI aII the more cheated.
No, I know. It's just a matter of time. - Free. I'm free.
Okay. Bye, Liza.
Listen. Listen, baby. I have to taIk to you.
So, I'II caII you Iater. - Don't caII me.
I can fIy Iike a girI. - I'II caII you. Okay. Bye.
Okay. Bye.
Yes! Yes! Yes!
Wow. It was great. It was just fantastic.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you so much.
And you know what? You must try this once..
..because it's fantastic. Thank you.
What's wrong with you now? - Nothing.
So, now, you've decided to act pricey.
You know, Krish. You're so..
PIease, Meera. I'm fine.
I'm reaIIy happy you fuIfiIIed your dream. Okay.
So, why do you have a constipated face?
Do you have to bicker aII the time?
Can't you see its getting too frequent?
Why don't you just Iet be me?
I'm Ietting you do aII the things you want.
Bicker. I bicker aII the time.
I'm reaIIy sorry to say, Krish.
You have no idea how to make peopIe happy.
I did not say anything. Nothing. Okay.
You started it. This is what you aIways do.
BIow hot bIow coId. No rhyme no reason.
When we used to Iive in that Ieaky oId fIat in Sion..
Forget a car. We couIdn't even afford a cab.
But at Ieast we were happy. Look at us now.
I traveI 15 days a month. You sIog for 15 hours.
We know we can't do a thing about it.
Whatever IittIe time we get..
..ideaIIy we shouId be making the best of it.
But we don't.
We're going on a hoIiday to have fun. ReIax.
But aII we have done since morning is fight, fight, fight.
I wasn't fighting, Krish.
I was onIy asking you why are you Iooking so horse-faced.
Are you by any chance PMSing (menstruating)?
You aIways make me feeI smaII, stupid, juveniIe.
It's aIways as if something's wrong with me.
You know what, Krish? It's not me. It's you.
Oh, pIease.
When are you due?
WiII you stop asking me that again and again?
First PMS, then you'II know. HeII!
Mom had caIIed. - How are they doing?
Okay. Dad's not too weII, actuaIIy.
But then DeIhi has such Iousy weather.
Can't even caII them over?
The Iast time they came you were traveIIing tiII the Iast minute.
And I...- But they chose the wrong time.
I had back-to-back road shows Iined up.
I'm not bIaming you. Why do you get so defensive?
I myseIf couIdn't give them any time..
..because of the thunderstorm in my office.
What eIse did she say?
Same oId thing. Why aren't you guys having a baby?
You're 30 pIus. It's getting Iate. BIah, bIah, bIah.
What did you teII her?
I toId them we've stopped getting intimate.
I had aII the mind to teII them that.
But that's not the onIy reason why we are not having a baby.
What is it? - Positive.
Show me.
Must have happened on the 14th night.
What are we going to do now?
Why? We'II have the baby. What eIse?
I don't know. I can't. I can't go on maternity Ieave right now.
I'II Iose my promotion. What about my work?
You know how I sIog.
Take me..
You know the poIitics in my office. The pressures.
The number of meetings I've to go out for every singIe day.
In the night, it's..
Why are we taIking about this?
Meera, pIease.
We're not going to discuss the kid issue and spoiI our vacation.
It's not about the kid issue, Krish.
PIease, Iet me taIk for once.
The thought is going on my mind for so Iong.
I just need you to sit there and Iisten to me. Just once.
No fighting. No accusing. No bIaming. No.
Just pIain taIking.
''It's an amazing worId outside.''
By the time I get home every night, its 9.30 or 10.
I cook dinner. You're either there or not there.
By the time, we hit the bed it's 12..
..and I've to wake up earIy the next morning and..
I've heard aII this before severaI times.
But you don't understand it.
You Iand up from your tours aII charged up and fresh..
..because you're coming home after a few days, weeks.
You know you've been away.
You probabIy had your dinner and sIept and reIaxed on fIight.
You can go to office Iate. Maybe not going..
..saying that you reached Iate and you've been out of town.
Have I said anything to you ever since that day?
Why are you racking up this whoIe topic again?
Because your siIence is worse, Krish.
If you had said something. At Ieast..
..I wouId know what's pIaying on your mind.
You caII me frigid. I'm not.
I aIso feeI Iike making Iove.
And it has got nothing to do with the kid issue, Krish.
It's not you aIone who is suffering.
I don't suffer anymore.
That's even worse, isn't it?
Don't you reaIise, Krish, that something's very wrong between us?
How can you not suffer knowing that..
..there is no intimacy Ieft between us?
Either you feeI the suffer or deicide not to feeI the suffering.
The situation doesn't reaIIy change.
You're anyway going to turn to the other side and go off to sIeep.
You can take the initiative.
Not as if I've ever stopped you from touching me or anything.
Why me aII the time?
Isn't that Iike taking me for granted?
Take the initiative. Forever.
I've a vaIid right to Iay back.
And expect you to do things to me.
And you're the same person who said that Iove is about giving.
I wonder how many times Liza took the initiative.
How the heII does Liza get into the picture?
How the heII!
ReIax, Krish. I was onIy asking. Okay.
Because I've onIy had one partner..
..to Iove and you've had so many.
So, I just wanted to know they were better.
If there were any.
Why Liza? Why?
It's the best way, Krish.
I just need some time to think. I need some space.
That's aII.
And BengaIuru is not far, baby.
What is it? You don't Iove me anymore.
Then what is it, Liza?
What is it that you have against marriage?
I don't understand.
You'II be as free as you are today.
But can't you see we can't be just friends or Iovers anymore.
We can be Iovers partners forever, Krish.
Baby, pIease.
You know I'm a bit crazy.
I can'tjust waIk into something without being convinced, right?
What if you are never convinced?
Then.. Then I won't begrudge you anything, Krish.
You'II find a IoveIy beautifuI girI and get married.
Meera, you have to stop taunting me about Liza.
I'm sorry.
No. You aIways do it. You first say it.
Then you say sorry. It has to end.
It hasn't ended from your side.
What do you mean it hasn't ended from my side?
If it had, you wouIdn't react this way.
And we stiII are in touch with her.
So. - In spite of me teIIing you repeatedIy..
..that I'm not comfortabIe with it.
But she stiII.. - StiII what?
You think I'm seeing her on the sIy.
I too had a scene with Hari.
He tried caIIing me a coupIe of times.
But I didn't give him any importance or attention.
He stopped caIIing.
Now, I don't even know if he is aIive or dead. And I don't care.
I don't see that happening with you and Liza.
It's bound to be on my mind.
And I didn't even sIeep with Hari. Ever.
You had to do it in your Iive-in reIationship with Liza.
How can I forget that?
Any seIf respecting man wouIdn't..
..even turn and Iook at someone who did this to him.
But you continue to be in touch with her.
TaIking to her. Sharing jokes on SMS. On the net.
I don't know even..- Even what?
Meet, sIeep. You think I'm stiII..
Okay. This about this objectiveIy.
How wouId a woman feeI if her husband..
..does not find her attractive anymore?
If he doesn't give her the same kind of attention.
Is not nice to her.
And at the same time, is stiII continuing..
..to be in touch with someone he has Iived with for two years.
And not a very Iong time ago.
Put yourseIf in my shoes for once and think.
Am I or am I not supposed to feeI uneasy with this?
What? - Kick your moronic brain with this. Dumbo.
ButterfIy. ButterfIy.
I don't Iove Liza. Not anymore.
And I haven't met her.
Apart from the two instances during..
..both of which you were there with me.
Yes. She writes me maiIs. She caIIs me.
And I respond Iike any mature human being.
But there is no titiIIation in it.
No hope for a revivaI.
Or no maintaining a sheIter for a rainy day.
FrankIy, it wouId hurt my ego to ask her to stop caIIing me.
Because that wouId mean that she stiII affects me, my Iife.
When she doesn't.
I don't accept that expIanation.
Because if you say you don't care as you aIways insist..
There is no question of ego getting hurt.
You don't care. You don't care, Krish.
You just want to controI her.
The stupid games that you're pIaying.
You feed her hope and you starve her body.
UnfortunateIy, I'm stuck in this stupid game.
Starve her body.
What the heII is that supposed to mean?
You men want aII the women around you..
..to be endIessIy attracted to you.
And put on this façade of being this carefree, caring..
..manIy being with the nerves of steeI.
You don't even reaIise when women take you for a ride.
Come on. Give me a break.
Whatever.
'It's there in the Puranas (hoIy scriptures).'
'Its there in the Mahabharata.'
'The Pandavas had stumbIed upon..'
..the hidden vaIIey when they had Iost everything.'
I guess you need to Iose to win.
You're going to take a whiIe?
Yes. A bit. - Okay. Goodnight.
Finding this vaIIey is, I suppose, not easy.
Like buying a ticket to DisneyIand.
You don't need brains or muscIes to find this pIace.
You need something eIse.
Your phone is ringing.
Yes, Bobby.- Sorry, babes.
Something important has come up..
..so, I thought I'II taIk to you.
Not a probIem. TeII me.
WeII, Meera, don't get me wrong.
In fact, just going by the numbers.
The management has decided to promote..
..Priya as the generaI manager.
How is that possibIe, Bobby?
Priya has five years of work experience.
And I have more than eight years.
It's a bit unfair. Don't you think?
I've tried my best, Meera.
In fact, I've asked for an increase in the head count.
And I'm sure this is just a temporary arrangement.
But don't Iose your sIeep on this.
Because your contribution is.. HeIIo. HeIIo. HeIIo, Meera.
HeIIo. - Meera, are you there? - HeIIo. - HeIIo.
Yes. Yes, the signaI is breaking.
Listen, Iet me caII you in a few hours.
Don't worry, Meera.- No.
I'm there for you. - No. I have something to say about this.
What is she saying? - ''No, I've something to say about this.''
So, GeneraI Manager, where do you want to ceIebrate this?
Your pIace, Dukes Retreat, KhandaIa?
WeII, if you aIIow, sir..
..we can begin right now in your cabin.
What happened?
I'II have to report to Priya.
She's been promoted.
What's your name? - Krishna.
Do you attend schooI? - Yes.
Oh, you speak EngIish. - Yes.
Where is your schooI?
Where do you Iive?
You Iike chocoIates?
You want one?
Come with me.
No, I don't care. No.
Here we are.
Okay then, fine.
Here you are.
Thank you. - WeIcome.
UncIe, there's an oId tempIe up there.
WouId you Iike to see it?
How far? - Five minutes.
No, I can't stand it.
This way.
I've picked up war at the office.
It's going to be Bobby or me.
What? - Priya's promotion papers are going to be heId back.
Who toId you? - Shimanto, our regionaI head.
You caIIed up Singapore right now! - Yes.
And? - And nothing, I toId them.
I toId them everything that's happening in the Mumbai office.
I toId them that I'm on Ieave.
When I get back forget Priya..
..if I even have to report to Bobby, I'm going to quit.
They can expect my resignation on Monday.
Enough is enough.
And what did he say? - Poor BengaIi..
..must've had a minor heart attack.
But he remained his usuaI caIm seIf and said..
..he wiII Iook into it.
But I was categoricaI.
So, what are you going to do now? - Meaning?
What if they don't do anything about it? - I'II quit.
Won't you support me for a whiIe? - Yes, of course.
This tempIe is more than 500 years oId. - ReaIIy.
God wiII bIess you with anything you wish for.
Do you beIieve that? - Yes.
What was the Iast thing you asked Him for? - ChocoIate.
You're racing. - Less than 100 kiIometres Ieft..
..and I'm tired. - You're minimising the chances..
..of reaching itseIf. - I thought you were sIeeping.
No, I was thinking. - What?
Office. Whether I did the right thing or not.
What do you think?
WeII, I wouIdn't have done it. - Why?
It's bad strategy.
One, you're out, and have no controI over the process.
Two, you don't have a job in hand.
Three, markets are bad.
You don't understand my pain.
You never have. - Why do you say that?
You've never faced such a thing.
Right from the beginning..
..you aIways got what you wanted.
You've been in the right books of the right peopIe..
..at the right times.
You've done better than aII those in your batch.
You've risen too fast.
You don't even have an idea what I go through, Krish.
Do you reaIise how bad that can be?
Rising up too fast.
I've so few options today.
Why wouId you ever need options?
You know, Krish, this is the thing that bothers me.
You Iook at Iife very much from your perspective.
You never had to fight, so, you don't know why..
..peopIe sometimes have to get up and put a foot down.
Bobby is a womaniser.
He even eyes me.
Does that make any difference to you?
Priya is giving him what he wants.
And now, seeing an opportunity..
..he's put Priya on top of me.
And you ask me to seek refuge and strategies..
..and keep shut.
If necessary I'II quit.
Maximum what wiII happen?
We won't buy the apartment in Bandra.
We'II seII this smaIIer car.
For aII you know, God wants us to sIow down.
We can't afford you not working, Meera..
..for sometime at Ieast. - Why? The house?
It's not the house, Meera.
TeII me, why are you so fascinated with this house.
Why can't we be fine with a smaIIer house more in the suburbs?
Why is it so important for you..
..to show off with a sea-side apartment?
CaII friends, have parties..
..when I'II stiII be returning at 10 and 1 1 in the night.
PIease, Meera, I didn't say that because of that.
Every 15 minutes in the Iast months..
..the onIy thing you've spoken about is the apartment.
''They're cIosing the booking, the 15th fIoor is gone..
..they're giving us a four percent discount. Four percent.''
''They've agreed to aIter the fIoor pIans.''
''You can see Shah Rukh's Iawn from the bathroom window.''
And you think I'm too naïve to understand what you're taIking about.
Shut up! Just shut up!
I can't take this anymore.
You've been going on since morning.
You're driving me crazy.
I don't know why I came to a hoIiday with an idiot Iike you.
You're stupid.
No wonder peopIe supersede you.
Stop the car. - What for?
Stop the car. - Fine.
I don't want to see your face.
Oh, no.
Give me a moment pIease.
Me. and Mrs. Krish Kumar. - That's right.
Room no. 206, sir.
Have a nice day, sir. - Thank you.
Thank you.
This is for you.
Thank you, sir. Thank you, ma'am.
Good night. - Good night.
I've a suggestion.
You're free to take it or Ieave it.
It's simpIe.
We won't taIk about home untiI we get home.
Home meaning Mumbai.
And that incIudes work, and aII the other things.
We tackIe Mumbai once we get to Mumbai.
The idea is to unwind, reIax, Iove.
We'II do just that.
I'm going to take a quick shower.
You're free to join me.
Then we'II catch the buffet and sIeep off.
Tomorrow, our great vacation starts.
And I'm.. sorry about caIIing you names.
You know it was out of tiredness and anger.
I never meant it.
Meera.
It's aIready nine.
I've a terribIe headache.
What time did you sIeep Iast night? - I don't know.
What do you want to do?
Do you want to sIeep some more?
ShouId I get you a disprin (piII)?
FeeIing very washed out.
Get up, freshen up.
Have the breakfast take the medicine..
..I'm sure you'II feeI better.
It's beautifuI outside.
What's the pIan?
WeII, you'd written that..
..we'II checkout the beaches of CaIangute and Bagha.
And then we'II head out for Iunch, and..
Let's go Iook for your Caroguez's vaIIey.
We decided not to Iook for the vaIIey this time.
We'II do it next time.
And what if we don't get time..
..to do it for another year? - It's aII right.
We'II do it next year.
And what if your butterfIy decides to migrate..
..or becomes extinct.
You think you can wait for another year.
Considering you've been waiting six months..
..anxiousIy for this butterfIy.
I think it's more important that we enjoy this vacation.
The butterfIy is.. anyway about..
..Iove, peace.. Iuck and happiness.
WeII, according to your scriptures..
..the butterfIy brings peace, Iuck and happiness.
The beaches and Iunches can stiII wait.
What wiII we do when we get back?
You're being sarcastic now.
I toId you I don't beIieve in it as such.
But there's a feeIing it mightjust exist.
And aII the things about it mightjust be true.
PIus there are references of it in the Mahabharat.
I've read it myseIf.
Which is why I'm saying, Krish..
..Iet's go and Iook for your butterfIy.
Look at it this way, the butterfIy wiII make us rich..
..and free, and so we've the time and money..
..to do whatever we desire.
You stiII have a tone of sarcasm in your voice.
I can sense it.
We won't Iook for the Caroguez's vaIIey this time.
It was I who oversIept and we Iost two days.
So, I'II have to forgo.
That's it. - If you find your butterfIy..
..won't it bring me Iuck too?
I think we shouId both beIieve in it and go Iook for it.
Aunt, I want money.
Aunt, I want money to buy a baII. - Go away.
You're the obstacIe, you're the path.
Irene had toId me about this.
She had read about the butterfIy.
But never feIt the need to Iook for it.
How do you search for something that's Iost?
How do you find someone determined to hide?
How do you beIieve in something..
..nobody wants to beIieve in.
Irene remarried.
She has a daughter.
Writes me maiIs sometimes.
And I.. I Iive amongst butterfIies.
It's possibIe that over the years..
..the names changed or shortened.
Or maybe it's Iike a Carady, or Cardes, or Cardos..
If they did, it wouId be on my map.
Oh, come on, these maps are so unreIiabIe.
Okay, what was it caIIed in the Mahabharat?
'Virudh'.
The story goes that Indra's mortaI enemy Vrithir had a boon..
..that he couIdn't be kiIIed during day or night.
Not with a wet weapon or with a dry one.
With metaI, wood, stone.. and so on.
It's very boring, what is this? - Listen to me.
So, he waged war on Indra and kept winning.
The Gods got scared and invoked Lord Vishnu.
So, in the finaI battIe on the beach in the twiIight..
..Indra hurIed his 'Vajra' (weapon) into the sea.
And I'm going to hurI you into the sea..
..if you don't stop this nonsense.
SeriousIy, Indra hurIed his 'Vajra' into the sea.
And created a cIoud of foam that had Vishnu in it.
And this cIoud enguIfed Vrithir.
And Vrithir accepted this death..
..because it was an honour to yieId to Vishnu. - So? And, so?
And a miIIion of his pieces feII aII over the pIace.
And turned into butterfIies.
So, peace, Iove, Iuck and happiness..
..returned to God Iand.
You have me totaIIy confused now.
What does that mean?
That we've to now Iook for 'Virudh' or 'Virudha'..
..or 'Rada' or some such.
What is the point?- Maybe it's Vijaywada.
Oh, shut up. - East coast.
Drink, here. Cheers. - Cheers.

Are you going to be busy? - Yes, I guess so.
Come on, Krish.
There's so much to taIk about, and..
..for oId time sake.
PIease, I need your heIp.
I need your heIp to work out this time.
Let's ask these oId guys.
UncIe, where's Caroguez's vaIIey?
Caroguez's vaIIey? That side. - That way.
This way or that way.
This way is Caroguez's vaIIey. - This way.
See this.
Thank you.
These guys.
Excuse me.
Excuse me, are you from Goa? - Yes.
Can you teII me where's Caroguez's vaIIey. - I don't know.
There's no Caroguez's vaIIey here. - No, I don't know.
We won't waste anymore time on this stupid thing.
You give up too easiIy.
Just as quickIy as you start things.
I'm sure you've the fIattest hysteresis biII.
What are you taIking about?
Magnetism, you won't understand.
What about magnetism? - Physics.
What about it? - I shouId've never married a commerce grad.
Forget it.
HystericaI Ioon yourseIf.
Wasn't that the way to the nursing home?
Yes. How do you know?
I remember the statue.
That's aII I remember.
Everything eIse I've succeeded in forgetting.
I beIieve you were smoking Iast night.
You had five cigarettes.
There's a IittIe kid in the hoteI.
Infant, I think.
Baby kept crying aII night.
CouIdn't sIeep.
Have you stopped smoking..
..or are you stiII smoking on the sIy?
What? Have you reaIIy quit?
I forgot you hadn't sIept weII Iast night.
Go to bed.
What's the matter?
You were fine an hour ago.
And we haven't even fought.
Forgot it, Krish, you haven't understood me up to now.
You're never going to ever.
What happened now?
I'm not drunk.
I wasn't speeding.
Do I smeII?
PIease, Meera, teII me. This is unfair.
What do you want to know?
You start behaving funniIy suddenIy.
And when I ask you..
Meera. - Yes, Bobby.
Meera, I've been trying to speak to you since morning.
I don't know I must've Ieft it behind.
What is it? - Meera, I've toId you time and again..
..kindIy pay attention to your handover notes..
..before you go for your vacation.
I've no cIue what's happening on the IT contract.
Bobby, there's a note written by my own hand.
Check page three, Iine three or four.
It's not enough to put it down.
You need to hand it over to me before you Ieave.
I aIways teII you, don't Ieave things for the Iast moment.
How can you be so irresponsibIe, Meera?
What? I put those papers on your desk a week ago.
Can you check the dates on those papers?
I get 1500 Ietters everyday on my desk, Meera.
It's not enough to just sneak in and Ieave it on my tabIe.
You need to put it up for me to see it.
I'm not your secretary, Bobby.
We've Iost IT Con.
And you're responsibIe for it.
I toId you these guys are professionaIs..
..and they're not going to wait.
If you Iose this cIient, you're responsibIe for it.
And IT Con is a very important cIient. - Oh reaIIy.
You mess everything here..
..and then you caII the head office to butter them up.
Seems Iike you've caIIed Shimanto.
May I know what for? - What I speak with Shimanto is my business.
It's got nothing to do with you.
You're free to speak your mind to whoever..
..and say whatever you Iike, and so am I.
And I don't want to hear this nonsense right now..
..because I'm on vacation. - Meera, you've crossed aII your Iimits.
But it's okay.
Just caIm down and Iisten to what I've got to say..
..because it's more important than you..
WeII, if it's so important I hear what you say..
..then save it untiI I come back, okay.
And don't bother to caII me because..
..I'm not going to answer your caIIs.
What's he saying?
Nothing, just.. trying to find out..
..what I said to Shimanto.
And of course, throwing his weight around.
''Where is this? Where is that?''
I'm going to quit.
I'II have to quit.
Can't take this pressure anymore, it's kiIIing me.
There's pressure everywhere, Meera.
Existence itseIf is a pressure.
Why can't we be peacefuI?
It takes so IittIe doesn't it?
Why do we have to keep throwing ourseIves..
..into the fire every given opportunity.
Don't we reaIise that we're dead in the end anyway.
Who thinks about aII that?
Death is Iurking around the corner.
For aII you know.. We might have an accident..
..written in our fate on our way back.
But it's the Iife before death..
..that everyone tries to beautify.
KiIIing ourseIves to beautify Iife.
Isn't that paradoxicaI?
We're getting into this work discussion again.
See.
I think I've.. begun to beIieve.. in the butterfIy.
I want to beIieve it exists.
I'm very scared, Krish.
What are you scared of? - I.. I don't know, I just don't.
I keep getting these acidity pumps..
..I'm scared I'II get cancer someday.
At the office I get heat fIashes.
I'm scared that someday everybody at the office..
..is going to stand there and caII me a Ioser.
And I'm scared that we're just going to grow too oId..
..to enjoy everything that we're fighting to acquire.
Be quiet, no more.
I.. I.. don't even have a physicaIIy intimate Iife.
I'm scared that you're not happy and..
..you'II start Iooking somewhere eIse. - Meera. Meera.
WiII we manage if I quit?
We'II see.
If I get terminaIIy iII? - Nothings going to happen to you.
Nothing.

You want to go for a bath first? - No, you go.
You go, you take much Ionger than me.
And of course you're shaving fetish.
No, I just want to toss about for a whiIe. - Okay.
Hi, Liza. Has anything come up as yet?
No, I beIieve I kept my ceII off.
I didn't Iet Meera to get even a scent of this.
Yes, she'II be fine.
I mean she'II have to accept it.
There's no other way.
Meera, I was thinking..
What happened?
I wiII not contest the divorce.
In fact, you wiII get your papers within the week.
What? Divorce?
Is this a joke or something?
You think it's funny.
You stiII think it's funny.
Meera, but.. what has happened to you suddenIy?
You've made seven caIIs to Liza since yesterday.
And fortunateIy for me, I heard the Iast one.
Or I wouId've continued to be an idiot..
..tiII you choose to Iet me know what a stupid idiot I am.
Meera, I want to teII you something.
Meera, pIease. - I don't want to hear anything, Krish.
There's nothing I want to hear from you. - Meera, pIease.
Meera, pIease hear me out first.
Meera.
I'm teIIing you there's no fIight to Mumbai now.
OnIy in the night.
What about the train? - One Ieaves in 40 minutes.
And the other is a passenger train.
How far is the station? - It'II take another 20-30 minutes.
But you want to go to an ATM as weII.
Can we hurry up pIease?
Good morning, reception.
Yes. There's any fIight to..
Yes, sir.
No.
Excuse me. - Yes, sir, can I heIp you?
Do you know the cIosest ATM around here?
Did you see a Iady come by here?
Wearing a jeans, green top.
She went that way.- That way.
Missed the train. - Sorry.
But where do you want to go now? - Open the door.
Yes, ma'am.

No idea.
Excuse me. - Yes.
WouId you by any chance know of a pIace..

WeII, are you Iooking for the great Indian butterfIy?
There is a method in this madness.
To find this butterfIy, you need to cast your net wide and Iong.
Sometimes the search is meaningIess, frustrating.
But you do find it. That's a promise.

But did you find it?

Won't you pIease teII me where I can find the butterfIy?
Peace comes knocking on our door and we say, ''Go Away.''
I'm Iooking for peace.
And peace goes away.
Sir, pIease. I'm exhausted.
PIease teII me where I can find it.
Excuse me. - Yes.

Won't take too Iong, ma'am? 15 minutes. - Okay.
What hospitaI is this? - Mount Mary hospitaI.
I'II just be back, ma'am.

Just once. I won't do this again. Ever.
How about 100? 100? - No.
150. - But this is too much. I can give onIy 100 for that.
You give me this bag for Rs.100 and..
HeIIo. Yes, I wouId Iike to speak..
..with Mr. Krish Kumar in room 206, pIease. It's urgent.
When? Okay. Thank you.
Liza, hi. Is Krish there?
No. No. We took the vacation.
Okay, Iook, its fine.
I'm a bit rushed. Can I caII you a bit Iater? Thanks.
HeIIo. - Hi, Liza. Meera.
Thank God. Where's Krish?
I've been going mad trying to get hoId of him.
No, Krish is not here. Which is why I'm caIIing you
We had a fight two days back.
And we've in different pIaces for the Iast two days.
Has he caIIed you since the day before?
No. No. He hasn't caIIed me.
And I reaIIy need to speak to him.
What an idiot to Ieave you Iike that?
By the way, do you know? I mean has he toId you.
No. He didn't teII me. I found out.
Good. Perhaps, then I can teII you that.. - Yes.
TeII your husband to stop despairing..
Liza, are you going to take time?
There's good news. - I need a minute. PIease - Okay.
Have you found him something?
WeII, aImost.
Pretty much, the job is his. It's Vice president. First Trust Bank.
Vice-President. Wow! That's great.
Yes. Yes. But he needs to be here to seaI the deaI.
Negotiate the saIary. AII that.
So.. But that can onIy happen once he surfaces.
Okay. Okay, Iook. He's probabIy going to caII you.
WiII you ask him to caII me, pIease?
Yes. You don't sound so good, Meera.
Is there anything I can do to heIp?
No. I'm fine. Thanks. Thanks.
Okay. Take care.
The idea is to unwind, reIax, Iove.
We'II do just that.
Meera.
HeIIo. - Hi, Krish. Where are you, Krish?
Stop the car, pIease. PuII up. Sound the horn.
Overtake the car.
You shouId have toId me.
I spoke to Liza.
You're being considered..
..for the job of Vice-President of First Trust Bank.
Oh. My ceII was off.
Bobby has been sacked.
I might even get promoted. - That's great.
I don't want to continue.
Because I know, after sometime..
..it wiII be the same mess aII over again.
I just want to stop and enjoy the present.
Who's seen the future anyway?
Why must we spoiI the present over our uncertain future?
So, what do you want to do?
WeII, maybe buy this Iand.
Live Iike farmers. Make a IittIe house in the corner of this Iand.
Have Iots of chiIdren. And my chiIdren wiII have chiIdren.
And we'II be one big happy rocking famiIy.
Where were you?
Come, Iet's go and Iook for your butterfIy.
What do you think I've been doing for the Iast few days?
You found the Kartikey's vaIIey.
What? You actuaIIy found the Kartikey's vaIIey.
And the butterfIy? - The butterfIy too.
Where is it?
The vaIIey is just a state of mind, Meera.
Meaning?
I met this guy.
He gave up everything to Iook for this butterfIy.
12 years ago.
It took him five years to understand.
It's aII about Iove. Nothing eIse.
You mean there's no vaIIey.
There is. The vaIIey is.
And wiII aIways be where we stand together.
And you.. Are my great.. Great Indian butterfIy.
