I wonder why the client is dissatisfied with this.
Because this is your choice.
- When did you come? - I never went in the first place.
- Why didn't you go? - Number one you didn't ask me to go.
Number two the staff has left.
Number three I was feeling lonely in my room.
How did you know that I was alone here?
A married man is more often than not alone. Isn't it?
- How do you know? - I know.
- What? - That a married man is more often than not alone.
Isn't it?
Perhaps.
Any social engagements today?
Why?
There is a private show of 'Knife in the water' at seven.
Will you come?
Today I can't even make any excuses.
- It means... - All those were excuses.
It's okay. I knew.
I also knew that you understand everything.
You should know that I understand everything.
This is risky.
Risks make life interesting.
Rita, how did you realize that a married man is often alone?
I'll tell you some other time, now let's leave.
Sit.
Tell me.
Can I counter question you?
Don't you feel lonely?
- Sometimes. - Why?
- Never gave it a thought. - Think about it.
If I sit down to think, you'll have to go for the film alone.
Alright!
Tell me what is the most precious thing in man's life?
The most beautiful and precious thing in a man's life is...
life itself. What answer is this?
- Just like life. - No, it is not so.
Shall I tell you?
The most beautiful and precious thing in man's life is dreams.
Life won't be worth living without dreams.
You mean married people don't have beautiful dreams.
No, they have desires.
Married and practical people don't have dreams.
Rita, you too are married.
I was and stayed married for four years.
Then?
Then one day I realized...
that my dreams have turned into desires.
When I told him this, he laughed and I walked out.
You didn't have children?
Thank god I didn't have them.
It would've been tough had you had kids.
The problem would've arisen prior to that itself.
After marriage, love and dreams get buried.
And children put the last nail in the coffin.
Leave that. Go and get refreshed.
The desire to smile...
has made me shed tears.
The desire to smile... has made me shed tears.
Pain is my only companion now.
The desire to smile... has made me shed tears.
Day was squandered in making a living.
I yearn for love.
Day was squandered in making a living.
I yearn for love.
Even the stars sigh for me.
Pain is my only companion now.
The desire to smile... has made me shed tears.
Dreams are but a farce.
Somebody has fallen from favors.
Dreams are but a farce.
Somebody has fallen from favors.
Whose are these nimble footsteps and who is this smiling tenderly?
Pain is my only companion now.
The desire to smile... has made me shed tears.
Pain is my only companion now.
The desire to smile... has made me shed tears.
What happened?
It is such beautiful graveyard.
I yearn for a glimpse of thee.
I worship thee.
Call Madam and the master?
Sir is not back yet.
Then call Madam.
Tell him Sunil is here.
Wow!
Bravo.
I too will get married now.
I won't.
What happened?
Seeing your living room decor, I too decided to get married.
But now I'm having second thoughts.
Why?
Come here.
Take a look at yourself.
What do you have to say now? Do I still need to deck up?
Yes, especially today.
Get the bouquet first.
Correct.
Many many happy returns of the day.
Sunil, how come you remembered our wedding anniversary?
Because I'm your ace enemy.
What makes you laugh?
Actually, I should be crying instead.
Why?
Because we tend to forget out wedding anniversary.
That's common. Because if you remember it inflates expenses.
It's not so. These days the zest for outings is missing.
That's very common.
When relationships rise above the stage of decking up, this happens.
I wish that was true!
It is so!
Let Amar come.
What is the color of the sky?
Blue.
Really?
No but yes.
A farce.
To make this farce a reality...
Margaret, get a cup of tea.
Amar is very late today.
Responsibilities increase with promotion.
- What happened? - I got a headache.
Shall we leave?
No.
You see with me.
See you tomorrow.
"Day was squandered in making a living."
"I yearn for love."
"Somebody has fallen from desire."
"Now pain is my only companion."
"Love stimulates you to live."
"To cry and to smile."
"During our Journey in life, we come across our partners"
"And they stir our dreams."
"And then why are we destined to be separate?"
"Why did you create this world?"
"O creator, why did you have to create this world?"
"Why did you have to create this world?"
It's such a beautiful song.
Very true.
But it's a male song.
I like your voice also.
You shouldn't have quit singing, Mansi.
Do you recollect during college days you were nicknamed Lata Mangeshkar?
You've note one thing
Sometimes film songs relayed on radio are played at the apt occasions.
True. Just look at what happened yesterday.
Margrate.
Let it be.
It has got charred.
It is burnt perfectly.
Today I'll enjoy the food.
Have you cooked rice for me?
Eating rice is bad for health.
It means you haven't cooked rice.
Have you or haven't you cooked?
It'll be done.
How?
I don't think Amar will dine at home.
Why? Has he got an invitation elsewhere?
Maybe.
So you are not sure?
You are Just guessing.
Don't take chances where food is concerned.
I'm sure Amar won't dine out.
Because today is a very special day.
'Amar and Mansi's home!' That's if he remembers this day.
Dear, is this any time to come back home?
Extend your hand. Come on.
A million congratulations!
I don't think it's your birthday today.
Oh yes, today is our wedding anniversary.
I'm sorry.
What happened?
I have a terrible headache.
Mansi, I won't eat food.
Good night, Sunil.
Good night.
"My eyes are longing."
"My heart is longing."
"I am thirsty for rain."
"My abode is deserted."
"I am thirsty for rain."
"My abode is deserted."
Thank you
Ask Sunil to have his food.
Hot tea!
You've again gone off to sleep.
Wake up! It's already eight thirty.
You'll lose your Job if you continue this way.
Then my ardent wish will be fulfilled.
What?
I want to quit this Job.
Amar!
How much time am I able to spend with you?
Tell me.
One... two... eight...
Don't include eating and sleeping hours.
Maximum two hours and 8 hours I spend with the beauties in my office.
Oh, so there are several beauties in your office!
What to do? It's my duty.
The world of advertising boasts of beautiful faces.
To remain fresh surround yourself by beautiful faces.
Very good!
Cast a glance at this beautiful face also.
Madam, your beauty is my exclusive property.
You are my personal position.
You are mine alone.
Nobody else much miss you but me.
Nobody else must kiss you but me.
Nobody else dream of you but me.
You are my personal position.
My magnificent obsession.
My lucky star
Now stop romancing and get ready to go to office.
Look...
- I've taken a leave today. - Really?!
I hate lies and the truth is that I'm besotted by you.
I'm taken leave to celebrate our first wedding anniversary.
Means I'm loss.
So how should we spend the day?
We must avoid routine chores.
- Daily chores? - Yes.
Barring one chore.
Come and have dinner.
Did you give Amar coffee?
I think he's asleep.
Go to sleep.
It's a crime to be an executive.
It is a sin.
Get up! Everyone is staring at us.
You shut your eyes and keep singing.
How can one sing like this?
Sir, we are a married couple and today's our first wedding anniversary.
Sir, let my presence not restrict you. Enjoy yourself.
Which film do you want to see?
We Just want to go for a drive.
So you too are averse to films?
What?
I too have stopped watching films since the time I bought this cab.
Why?
This is everything to me.
New Film, drama, everyday watching in this car.
And it is tax-free too.
Because in this fun.
Where will you go, Sir?
Anywhere.
We'll roam the whole day.
Sir, if you don't mind, can I take my wife along?
Because in this fun.
Pick her up.
Are you also newly wed?
My marriage is eleven years old.
Will she enjoy with us?
Why not?
It is easier to adjust with strangers.
How?
I've only two rooms...
with nine people staying.
You have seven children?
I've two children but my family also stays with me.
So you've two children.
So you also believe in family planning?
I have to.
Because in this fun.
Where are you from?
Originally from Gorakhpur.
But now am a Bombayite.
There comes my house.
Greetings, Acharya! Greetings!
Oh God!
Sir, I'll be back soon. Take your own time.
Take your time. No rush!
Because in this fun.
Here take this.
Greetings!
He's been married for eleven years and yet...
When love exists this is possible.
Wow look
What a cute child!
All children are cute and ours will be the cutest.
I saw a child in my dream as if he's coming running to me.
It's such a small place, how can he run and come.
Buy a new house.
Sir, what about food?
Don't worry.
They've already had food.
Be careful and sit.
Sir, I'll take you to a wonderful place.
Hey you've remember.
I'll take them to the place where our elder child was conceived.
The forests near Tulsi lake.
Your wife is very shy.
That's Just for effect.
Only in front of me.
What do you mean?
My Lajwanti...
cooks amazing food.
I can smell it.
You cook for the entire family?
Answer them.
This is my taxi.
Doesn't she talk?
We follow orthodox traditions.
And the women folk don't talk in the presence of the elders.
You don't converse with each other?
We do.
But in sign language.
She carries this veil so it's difficult.
People say that she's got long dark hair.
I swear I've never seen her hair in day light.
That's too bad.
Listen!
Remove your veil so that we too catch a glimpse.
What a breathtaking beauty!
"The flowers wither."
"O beloved."
It's such a magnificent day.
Yeah, it is an auspicious day.
This is not yours or my day but this is our day.
Here.
How was the food?
Good.
But I didn't enjoy.
Why are you apologetic?
He has a headache.
Some day or other his headache will get cured.
Very optimistic.
You are very optimistic.
Hope is life, Mansi.
Doubts make life miserable.
Good night, Mansi.
Good night.
Waking up early and exercising is good for health.
Amar.
What is it, Mansi?
Forget it.
How can I keep you happy if I don't know what's in your mind?
Amar, everyone is against our marriage.
Tell me one thing.
Why do people hate love so much?
This is not hatred but Jealousy.
I want to ask those who are against our marriage...
how does our happiness make them unhappy?
Will marriage give us happiness, Amar?
Will all our dreams be realized?
Yes, Mansi.
If we are truthful then why not?
Margaret, have your food and go to sleep.
I thought you were asleep.
- Switch off the lights. - Should I apply some balm?
I don't have a headache.
I knew that.
You know everything that suits you.
What do you mean?
Don't you follow English?
You've changed so much.
What's wrong with that?
Circumstances change man.
Hatred also changes man.
I'm looking it.
Look, now you hate the very sight of me.
I presumed you asked me to switch off the lights.
That I told you ten hours ago.
Ten seconds is ten hours?
Yes.
You want to pick a fight?
How does it matter?
Then shut up!
You want to pick a fight?
How does it matter?
Do you realize the outcome of these actions?
What?
You can't do what you want to.
Because you are a coward.
A half beast and an incomplete man!
"When love floats in the air..."
"we long for each other's company."
"When love floats in the air..."
"we long for each other's company."
"Without each other's company, life becomes dreary."
"You are the focus of my life."
"My eyes yearn for Just a glimpse of thee."
"I'm like a burning lamp sans the rains."
"It's you that brings me to life."
Don't smoke so much. It's bad for health.
I know but am helpless.
In the midst of all these tensions and rifts...
this is my only companion.
It's come to my knowledge that you want to marry Mansi.
Yes.
What if I refuse?
We'd like to know the reason.
What do you mean by we?
Mansi and I.
You and Mansi!
Why you both?
Because it's we both who want to get married.
It is possible but it won't happen.
Why?
You want to dominate.
No, I only want to know the reason.
Isn't it enough that I don't want it to happen?
If that's the reason then my opinion about you will change.
How does that matter?
Maybe not to you but it matters to me.
How?
How can I love Mansi if I can't respect you?
You work for an advertising firm?
Yes.
I've heard people in that line are like that only.
Some of them.
How can you say you are not amongst those?
No.
How?
- You Just have to go by my word. - Why should I believe you?
And why shouldn't you?
Operator I told you not to disturb me.
You have an answer to that?
I have but you won't like it.
I'll like it.
Have your say.
I want to know since you've decided not to get Mansi married to me...
then why do you need proof of my being good or bad?
I want to do some rethinking.
Pardon me, but we are not children.
Who are you to decide about our marriage?
Don't you know who I am?
I know.
You happen to be Mansi's father.
I don't happen to be but I am.
Mansi says so.
So?
I believe her.
You must.
Why?
Because I am her father!
Can you prove it?
What do you mean?
That when I'm telling you that I'm a decent man...
then believe me that I'm a decent man.
A decent man!
A decent man! Get out of here!
Is this how a decent man behaves?
Only a decent man behaves in this manner.
Goodbye!
Open your eyes.
Beautiful.
What?
- That what I'm seeing! - And what are you seeing?
Droplets of water on a lotus leaf.
- Is that all? - What do you mean?
Appearances can be deceptive.
True but here the droplets of water are there on the lotus leaf.
It is not.
Okay. Taste it.
It is salty Just like tears.
What is this?
I'll tell you that later but first listen to this.
Do you know how a particular tribe in Madhya Pradesh get married?
The couple have to drink each other's tears on the wedding night.
You mean they cry after marriage?
A lot.
But why?
It's better to cry once and for all.
They are so smart.
The smart Just need a hint.
Then let me also drink.
Mansi...
Mansi, a snake!
Just a moment!
First class dialogue.
Your eyes brimming with tears look awesome!
Hey! Tell me...
Why did you switch off the fan?
Because the food will get cold.
I'll die of happiness if you pamper me so much.
I won't marry you if you talk such nonsense.
Our marriage is already solemnized...
and like the tribals we tasted each other's tears also.
Mr gentleman, we are not tribals.
We get married as per our rituals.
We can't marry as your parents are sulking.
Earlier they were so fond of you and now!
You are responsible for it.
The day you started loving me they ceased to love me.
No.
There contention is that why were they not taken into confidence.
You mean you've to take their permission to fall in love.
Well done! He seems to be a wonderful man!
He must be a Mughal Emperor Akbar in his previous birth.
And were you Prince Salim?
Yes, Anarkali!
In my previous birth also, I'd asked the Emperor for your hand.
But I was refused.
Anarkali, I swear on the Almighty...
that in this birth I'll marry you at all costs.
That's nice!
- Wash your hand. - You too come along.
I'll lay the food.
Fantastic!
Come on, start.
Later.
We'll eat together as there's only one plate.
You expect me to eat here?
Why, you didn't like the seating?
- Even after marriage... - We'll eat together Just like this.
How did you get leave from office today?
I'm sick!
You are such a liar.
It's not a crime to a lie for a good cause.
Is this a good Job? What could be better than this?
What could be better than this?
One lover bunks his office and his beloved bunks college...
to enjoy a picnic in each other's company!
How about eating now?
You are an excellent cook!
- Thank you! - Thank you!
My grandmother said the way to a man's heart is through his stomach.
Your grandmother didn't advise about the way to a woman's heart.
Don't act innocent.
You can write a book on how to woo a girl.
Is it? Yes.
Decent men fall in love after marriage.
But rogues like you fall in love before marriage.
Whatever atleast they love.
Sorry.
Sister, somebody informed father at office that you are here.
He called up home to ask for the car. Mother is also upset.
How did you come here?
By cab.
Don't worry for your sister and go.
You know father's temper.
I know your father.
He's a decent man and is coming to another decent man's house.
I think it's him.
Love knows no fears.
Amar, please.
Mansi, welcome this mishap!
Blessing in disguise.
Come on, eat.
It's difficult to think rationally on an empty stomach.
The door is open.
Let it be.
Aren't you scared?
No.
What if he...
Don't worry.
Amar, you don't know he is capable of even raising his hand.
It'll be great if that happens today.
Yes, Ramdhan.
Greetings, Sir! The master is in the car.
Go, I'll follow you.
You needn't come. He's in a foul mood.
Madam, you come.
You go, I'll follow you.
Alright!
Mansi, finish your meal.
Don't scared.
I'm going to meet your father not Hitler.
But what if...
There is no need to worry. I'll soon be...
Please come.
Mansi, I'm waiting out in the car for you.
Please come in.
Till, Mansi finishes her meal we can have a chat.
Mansi, do I have to use him as a mediator to talk to you?
Come in.
Where?
In this house?
Never.
You've come here earlier also on several occasions.
Don't remind me of those days.
I never expected you to be like this.
Mr Sharma, please come inside.
We can talk this out.
Who wants to talk to whom?
We want to talk to you.
Mansi, will you come or should I call Ramdhan?
- Mr Sharma... - Don't dare to address me.
Talk softly. You are a known personality here.
I know that.
But how many people know you?
Atleast you know me.
I knew you but it's now that I've understood you.
Mansi!
I won't come with you, if you won't listen to me.
Did you see your influence.
Mr. Sharma!
Mansi, go home.
Which home?
Don't do that.
Father loved me so much, how can I live without him?
You won't.
Tell me frankly...
will you forgive father for all that happened?
Stupid, father slapped me because he loves me.
Sometimes your words intrigue me.
That's the reason I'm often misunderstood.
Forget it.
But I hope you'll never misunderstand me?
That will never happen.
Come, let's finish our meal.
Forget eating, come, I'll drop you home.
Let's eat first.
You can't do anything properly on an empty stomach.
A few years ago,
despite that incident, you forced me to eat.
And today I'm lying here hungry.
Mansi, I'm the one for whom you always said...
that I can't do anything properly on an empty stomach.
So much has happened!
Then you were a lover but now you are a wife.
Your father had told the bitter truth.
That we don't understand the meaning of love.
Don't be mad.
Today is our second wedding anniversary.
I've to go home early.
Listen!
Great!
You scared me.
- You couldn't guess? - How was I to know it would be you?
It means my act was perfect.
I wanted to give you a surprise but it scared me.
- Why? - Because you were scared.
You think I should've lapped it up.
Definitely.
You were disappointed?
- Yes. - Ok.
Next time I won't disappoint a flirt.
I'll kill you.
It's you who want me to get interested in such women.
What?
Yeah!
Am I such a girl?
No, but you were imitating one.
Do they roam around with a veil?
Sometimes.
How do you know?
I've met one.
You met.
Where?
A few minutes ago.
Aren't you ashamed?
Had it been someone else in my place?
How?
Had it been someone and the way you said...
Listen!
And what if he'd been encouraged?
Amar...
What's all this?
Evil mind is the devil's workshop.
Yes.
So we'll have to bring a naughty child to fill in your time.
Please hurry up!
It takes ten months.
This is the bedroom.
- It used to be at one time. - No!
It means now you neither love nor trust me?
You suspect me because you've lost confidence in yourself.
You are responsible for breaking my trust.
Yeah, I'm only responsible for everything!
I'm responsible for your lack of trust and your becoming a flirt.
Then why am I not getting from you what is my due?
Because you always try to insult me.
Have you ever put in words what is it that you want from me?
What is it that you don't get?
You expect me to read your mind.
But where is your mind? You always find faults with me.
Have you ever praised me?
For me, you are Just a piece of ice.
Now I'm frigid!
But try to recollect there was a time when I also had fire in me.
That's it!
You are either like ice or like fire.
What an extremist you are!
You are responsible for it.
Atleast I made something of you.
- But I don't want to. - Enough!
Okay, you win and I lose but now please keep quiet.
I want peace.
Peace
If peace was so easy to get...
this world would've been a better place to live.
You want true peace?
Then first try to calm yourself.
Not people that.
Amar, one thing good about you is that...
you can say the most difficult things so simply.
Then tell me what must I do to calm myself from within?
Understanding!
To communicate.
Is it this understanding that takes you to Rita?
No, she comes to me...
with love and understanding.
And your this piece of ice melts with her love.
Amar
Melt in my arms and you'll realize how much I love you.
Try to understand my feelings.
It's in my arms that you'll find true love.
Mansi, let me remain here only.
I was yours and shall always be yours.
Margaret!!
She is on leave.
How many times do I need to tell you that ask me first.
You never said this to me.
I did tell you.
Perhaps I didn't hear it.
Are you looking for your clothes or for Margaret?
My foot!
Why are your clothes hung in my closet?
Hereafter it won't happen so.
It shouldn't happen again.
I heard you.
If you want, note it down.
Idiot!
- What did you say? - Didn't you hear?
No!
Where is my shirt?
Hurry up and wear it.
Hi!
Are you planning to go out?
We were planning to go for a film.
It's a nice thought. Go ahead.
I don't want to interfere in your romantic idyll.
"Dreams are but a farce."
"Somebody has fallen from favors."
"Dreams are but a farce."
"Somebody has fallen from favors."
"Whose are these nimble footsteps and who is this smiling tenderly?"
"Pain is my only companion now."
"I yearn for love."
Leave it.
Don't be mad. It will hurt you.
Amar, I don't like you touching my feet.
Mansi, everything is fair in love.
By mouthing such dialogues a film hero...
removes the thorn from the heroine's foot to keep it in his breast pocket.
I don't have a pocket.
But you are acting like a hero.
Am I acting like a hero?
Yes.
- Hero! Film hero? - Yes.
- Now what do you have to say? - Okay, enough!
- You are not a hero. - That's better!
Amar, why do you love me so much?
Because you are what you are.
Is this any answer?
That's that!
Look, you are not the most beautiful woman in the world.
Yet I love you.
Neither are you the most intelligent or the richest woman.
Yet I love you.
I love you because you are what you are. Stupid!
And I think you also love me for the kind of person I am.
It means we love the person we are.
Amar, this is very dangerous.
What if from ' us' it becomes ' I'?
That will never happen, Mansi.
That will not happen if love exists.
Listen
Father says love is a mere word...
and it is a farce. It is devotion that is the real thing.
Without devotion a relationship can't exist.
Your father is right.
But mother opines that man can never be devoted to a woman.
Why?
He may be devoted to his mother, sister or somebody else's wife.
But he can never be devoted to his woman.
He can only have two kinds of relationship with his woman.
He's a slave to her good body.
And later the master of the house.
Things like devotion don't exist.
Mansi, it is not so. I respect every woman.
Though I agree that in every respect a woman is inferior to a man.
She is weak but in one respect she is superior to man.
She is very powerful.
Superior.
A man can become anything but he can't become a mother.
But every woman can become a mother.
It's a woman who gives birth to man.
That's the reason I respect every woman: Even you.
Amar, your thoughts are so beautiful.
Why don't you pen your thoughts?
I will...
when my research is over.
We'll first get married.
Don't show me such dreams.
What else can I do?
Before marriage, that's all I can give you.
Amar, I want our child to have eyes like yours.
Just like yours!
He's moving.
Where did it come from?
Found where?
Raised by maternal love.
Tears roll from eyes.
"My dear child, you've always been..."
"my desire and identity."
"You are my little doll."
"Several times I've been to sleep seeing you play..."
"you've made me rise from the ashes..."
"I've won and lost and lost and yet won."
"I don't know which angel has sent you to me?"
"My Son."
"You are my ultimate dream."
"You are your mother and grandmother's beautiful dream."
"You will carry on the tradition of love."
"You were born from the... hope of love and desire."
"I don't know which angel has sent you to me?"
"My Son."
Oh God!
What happened?
Mansi.
Poets are so sentimental.
Why?
They've written such lovely poems on the mother and child.
But nobody has written anything for the father and child relationship.
Don't worry, I'll write, once I become a mother.
Only two weeks are remaining.
It's terrible.
Why doesn't this time pass soon?
How can time pass?
Time is something that never passes.
It's we who pass.
What are you saying?
I'm feeling restless.
Why?
I am feeling so helpless.
Amar
Yes mansi.
This is the seed of our love...
which we created so lovingly...
but I can't do anything to relieve you of this discomfort.
I can't do anything to help you.
Believe me, I'm in no discomfort.
Please smile.
Mansi, don't talk.
No!
You have bloody right to abuse my parents.
Shut up.
Before asking me to shut up, you shut your dirty mouth.
Only my tongue is dirty but everything about you is dirty.
Even your heart stinks!
Then look out for a fragrant heart.
There is a limit to everything.
True but for human beings.
Will you shut your mouth or do you need help?
You will help me!
Why don't you help yourself instead?
Poor fellow!
Say that again.
Poor fellow!
Do you want any more help?
Listen
I've done it!
What?
The first line has been done properly.
Tell me.
What your desire detected...
- Shut up. - What?
- Is this what you've written? - Don't Just pass comments.
Listen, the dream that your desire discovered...
Dream...
Desire.
Dream plus desire is equal to you and me.
Therefore.
Listen, the dream that your desire discovered...
is in this picture. Hug and kiss it.
Keep this desire... Till...
we are bound in the bondage of love.
- Wonderful! - Autograph please.
- You've written my name? - You write my name.
First class ok.
Fool!
- What are you doing? - How can you stay in this dirty place?
- This is not a dirty place. - Oh really!
- This is my mother's picture. - This is your mother's picture?
It used to be.
This mark?
It has become a mark now.
Earlier my mother's picture hung here... with wrinkles.
You think I'm mad. No, I'm not mad.
Once upon a time, I used to cook here.
Once when I was cooking lentils, the picture fell into the vessel.
The picture broke, the lentils got spoilt and this mark remained.
Day before yesterday a picture in the drawing room also broke.
But there was no mark on the wall.
Mansi, like human beings walls also change colors.
So they hardly leave a mark.
I've refrained you several times from nailing a nail in the wall.
Why are you laughing? I want to know as to why you are laughing.
Are you scared not to see a mark on the wall?
Thank your stars that the nail and I are still there.
Now there will be no nail on this wall.
Don't use force to remove it, Amar.
We both had hammered it right in.
I want to throw it out.
How silly!
Amar, don't even try. Your wall will crack.
Milk.
Sunil is your childhood friend and this is how you think about me.
I'm not thinking what you think I'm thinking.
It's clearly written on your face that that is what you are thinking.
How wrong you've started reading me!
Then you tell me what is correct.
Will you be able to hear it?
What could be worse?
Yes I've.
Listen.
I don't think you are having an affair with Sunil.
And that's because you both are incapable of it.
Don't worry about others capabilities. Speak your mind.
You really want to know?
Tell me.
The way you Joke and talk to Sunil...
why don't you behave similarly with me?
I behaved that way with you also but before marriage.
What happened after marriage?
That what shouldn't have happened.
Before marriage you spoke and I'd be all ears.
And you'd lend me your ears when I said anything.
And now when you speak someone else hears.
And there is someone who hears my words.
And when we both talk, it's the neighbours who hear us.
But why did this happen?
You have the answers to everything.
So you resolve this also.
Before marriage for whom would you deck up... and be happy?
- For you. - And now?
Now I'm happy only when I attend your parties.
And I try to be happy when I go out or when we have guests.
And I dress up for others.
Why?
Because now you take me for granted.
Now you get happiness only in stripping me.
Now even that doesn't interest me.
Naturally.
Some day or other every husband tires of his wife.
- Your behavior suggests that. - And what does your behavior suggest?
That I'm a cheap fisherwoman.
A beautiful world lies in nothingness.
The earth always revolves round the sun.
That is what brightens the human mind.
It spreads it radiance everywhere.
That is what makes life worthwhile.
The first dream is the nuptial night.
Every day it springs a new surprise.
It makes life beautiful.
It is adorned by all finery.
And the sun of chastity is marriage.
And rituals are a tradition of that.
It encompasses everything.
Truth is...
There were a few more to this poem which I've forgotten.
What were those lines?
The interpretation of those lines was...
that the earth revolves around the sun.
And this pattern is followed since the universe was created.
- And it continues to do so. - It's a novel way.
For what?
My father demanded from my mother.
That she being his wife should always be around him.
This is what my grandfather commanded from my mother.
That as the mother of his kids she should always revolve around him.
Amar, I know that you always wanted it that way.
No, we had greater expectations.
And our expectations were a result of love not marriage.
Our love... Try to recollect our courtship days.
During courtship we would meet discreetly.
We'd meet hardly for an hour.
And in that time we'd put...
our best behavior to impress each other.
So we liked each other.
And today we are at our worst behavior.
We are Just helpless.
Before marriage there was nothing that you couldn't do.
Then I was a lover
but now I'm the husband.
Everything was idyllic then but now life is a compulsion.
It is a society evil and we are torn into two parts.
We both had egos.
And our egos clashed.
Neither of us wanted to accept defeat.
Isn't it ironical that despite knowing our crisis...
we are helpless to do anything?
Amar, we have to make a start somewhere.
I agree the earth is sustained by the sun.
But you also must accept that the earth compliments the sun.
Mansi..
I remembered those lines.
The sun sustains the earth but still the sun needs the earth.
The sun and the earth...
compliment each other.
Let's go, the milkman will come anytime now.
Come, let's sleep. Let's eat first.
Let's eat first.
You don't do any work properly on an empty stomach.
Yes, come.
