Gotcha!

Fishes have started to scream too? - Help!

''What are you doing? Uncouth, stupid.''

Mind your tongue! You seem to be educated.

So either abuse in pure English or in pure Hindustani.

You're unnecessarily getting angry. How am l at fault...

if a fish goes and embraces a pretty girl like you?

Who did you ask and come here? ls this your father's property?

Neither is it my father's property nor your father's.

''This belongs to God, who is the Father of all of us.''

Bloody loafers! Who the hell are you? - Bloody loafers!

What is your name? - l'm Sri Ram Prakash.

And... - Looking for a prey.

And our luck is going to shine in a couple of days.

Savage! You will have to be given a dose.

Where is your dispensary?

Great! Nice medicine!

''Good morning, aunt.''

''Mother... - l'm here, son.''

l have told you so often not to touch my shoes. l am not a child.

Yes l know you are a grandfather.

You don't know how much happiness l get to care for you and pamper you.

l can never ever repay you for all that you have done for me.

To educate and bring me up you have borne all sorts of hardships.

Who am l do all this? lt's all God's grace.

You may think it that way. l know it's your doing.

l will worship only you.

''Lord, bring happiness and peace in my son's life.''

Bring fame to him. Give him those years you would've given me to live.

''Mother, do not ever say this again. l haven't ever seen my father.''

Now you too do not want me to look after you.

Why should you look after me? - Why mother?

Do your studies. Get a job. Bring a pretty bride home.

A cute little child should play in our home...

then l will be looked after automatically.

Then l will offer God one rupee and twenty five paise.

''Mother, will your God do so much work in one rupee and twenty five paise?''

Aunt? Please come in.

''Yes, Rajani's mother? What brings you here?''

l have got a letter written to Rajani's father.

''Can you write the address in English, and post it.''

For how long will these letters go on? Send uncle a telegram.

''Ask him to leave his job and come, because my dear aunt misses him a lot''

Naughty fellow.

''Ravi's mother, not so long ago l remember him playing...''

in your lap and today he's grown up to be so handsome.

Son look this side.

May no evil eye cast upon my son.

Now no one can cast their evil eye on me.

''Brother-in-law, you too blacken your face.''

To ward off the evil eye. - No evil eye can affect me...

as long as you're here. Ketu is an apt name for you (Ketu - Ominous planet)

''Five years back when you came, your sister died and now, you've become...''

''Brother-in-law, do not worry. l will carry your bier too.''

''Great, great. A brother-in-law should be like you.''

Shut up. - Priest...

may l come in? - Come in. Please sit.

What do you want to ask? - Quiet. lf we ask our clients...

''what their wish is, then who will call us Masters of astrology. Moron.''

''Sir, your question is related to money, happiness, sorrow, life, death...''

''profit, loss, children, respect, dignity, court cases and illness.''

''Am l right? - Yes, respected priest.''

My question is about children.

lt's been 1 2 years... - You haven't had any children?

''No. Actually, in 1 2 years l have become a father of 13 children.''

My back too is broken now. Give me advice...

so that l do not have any more children.

''All right, show me your hand.''

You will have more children. Saturn rules over you.

ls their any way out? - There is only way out.

To beat this evil planet 101 times with shoes.

l mean you should donate 101 ... - Not money but silver coins.

''l don't have silver coins, l have just notes.''

''Only notes? Anyway, give it to me.''

''Take this amulet around your arm. After today, not only in your home...''

but not even in your locality will a child be born.

You are great. Thank you very much.

May you be blessed.

''Amazing, brother-in-law. You really made a fool of him.''

What use? You and my son are after me like the two malefic planets...

Rahu and Ketu! Where is t Rahu?

ln your picture their is one thing unusual.

''Even if l hug it, you'll not get angry or abuse.''

You son of a monkey.

Dear father... - Son of a gun!

''l've been calling out to you since a long time, can't you hear?''

''Father, when l'm saying my prayers, l don't say nor hear anything.''

Worship! Who do you pray to? - My God.

That's me. l thought it would be God's picture.

''For me, you are my God. The God who gave me birth.''

The God who gives me good. The God who gives me money.

Go ahead. - How can l? You have put brakes on me

''Respected priest. - Yes, l am coming.''

''Uncle, today l'm really broke. Please give me some money.''

So after all you felt the need of your uncle.

Touch my feet.

Money? - l'll think about it.

You'll think about it? What was he doing then?

Listen Ravi...

You had asked about the tuition. Well l have got it.

''This girl used to study in a convent, and is weak in Hindi.''

Take this address. Start teaching her from tomorrow. You'll get 100 Rs.

She is the daughter of that wealthy Diwan Jankidas.

lf your teaching is satisfactory you'll get a reward too.

Respected Shri Ravi...

''teach the girl in such a way, that all your life she remains your student''

''Madam, someone is here to see you. - All right, l'll be there soon.''

Yes?

lt's you!

''lf you are Miss Kanchan, then accept my greetings.''

l want to know who told you to come here.

''When there is some work, one finds the house too.''

What work can you have with me? Get out from here.

Or else l'll teach you such a lesson that you'll remember all your life.

Strange! The professor sent me here to teach you.

But l see that you want to teach me. - l do not need such teachers...

who fool with people on the way and enter the homes of decent girls.

l'm not a rat to enter any home. l just can't believe...

that a girl like you will treat an unknown person like this. lmpossible.

What rubbish! Don't you know me? - l don't know you.

This is the first time that l've had the good fortune to meet you.

''Good fortune? Then who was he, who insulted me near the river?''

lnsulted a girl?

Am l not a girl? Can't you see?

''That l can see, but l can't understand anything.''

You would've understood had l turned you and that loafer in to the police.

Loafer...? - Yes. Your yes-man.

l see. Please go on.

Why are you calling Hari? l will go myself.

But understand this much. lt was not me but Prakash.

lt was definitely Prakash. - Who is Prakash?

My twin brother. - Twin brother?

Yes. Good day.

Please wait. - Yes?

''l am very sorry. Actually, you both look so much alike.''

Anyone can be fooled. - Anyone? Even my mother gets fooled.

Sometimes even l get fooled.

Let me introduce you to my daddy. - Not today.

lf your daddy too treats me like this... it's better l go.

Please don't make me feel ashamed. Come with me.

Please come in.

He is...

''Not mister, but master. l am her master.''

My name is Ravi. Professor Gupta has sent me here.

Please sit down. Let us know how we can look after you.

That has already been done by Miss Kanchan.

''Will you have tea? - No, thank you.''

Professor Gupta has really praised you a lot.

Well it's his love for me. l am an ordinary person.

lf you are not capable then how will you teach sister?

We are very happy to meet you.

What does your father do? - lf father was alive...

maybe you wouldn't have found me here today.

l lost him in childhood. Only my mother and l are here.

What about your twin brother? - lt doesn't make a difference...

whether he is there or not.

l have been introduced to all here. Now introduce me to your books too.

Let it be today. - As you wish.

''What time should l come tomorrow? - Not tomorrow, the day after.''

''All right, that's not too far either. Good day.''

Good day.

The boy seems to be cultured.

l like him. - l too like him.

Today instead of studying we had a fight.

Do you have something important to do tomorrow?

Daddy has brought a new plot. l have to go to see that.

ls it very far? - No not very far.

lt's behind that hill.

''ls the whole family going? - No, the rest have all seen it.''

l am going alone. - Then you go to see your plot...

till then l can practice for my drama.

Turn around! She did!

''Eyes, piercing''

''Looks, that could kill''

This is the government's road and not your house

Why should l not romance? l am not scared of you

She's as pretty as a rose

A lissom beauty that she is...

she's out to stroll the garden

Lord! This ain't fair

Take my arm

''For, the paths are jagged and bumpy''

You might slip

Lord help!

Monkey

Would not these sights pale...

Would not Spring lose colour...

should you smile?

Should you smile...

''what would happen to those obsessed about you?''

''Those eyes, so seductive...''

like lotuses...

floating in the water

Lord help me

She's out to stroll the garden

Lord! This ain't fair

Her nuances drive me wild

She's the princess of her time

Fresh as it is...

''she's an interesting volume in herself''

''Her gait, like the swaying waves''

She's envious of the dewdrops

Even the blossoms she detests

Lord help her

She's out to stroll the garden

Lord! This ain't fair

She's as pretty as a rose

A lissom beauty that she is...

she's out to stroll the garden

Lord! This ain't fair

She might stumble

''Help her, Lord''

How did my jeep land here?

Can l help you? - Sure.

Give me the spanner... - Shut up and get lost!

''l can go, but maybe you will not be able to go back today.''

Your Jeep is spoilt. You don't agree with the doctor.

The sun God too is going down.

lt's a forest. You are alone beside being a woman.

The people here are so ferocious that even if they are 100 miles away...

they reach their prey.

Will you leave me alone or not? - l'm ready to do that...

but how will you get rid of these ferocious animals?

''Okay, may you be given the strength to bear the biggest of difficulties.''

What are they saying? - They don't say anything...

to a married couple. l have told them that we are married. You too say it.

Or else they will tear us apart.

He wants an immediate answer. Tell them we are married.

''Good you came, l was dead scared. - Come, l'll leave you home.''

Strange. You were all right last evening. What happened at night?

''Lajjo all work is done at night. lf one steals, it's at night.''

A dacoit does his work at night. We wait for someone the whole night.

''Even love is done at night. By the way, what is your programme tonight?''

Let it be. Tell me how did you get this hurt.

Someone else's leg got entangled. That friend of mine.

''Well, he has fallen in love with a girl.''

''Last night, that girl's car broke down in the forest.''

For the sake of my friend l had to play the part of the tribal leader.

But why? - So that my friend could fight...

with that tribe and save that girl from those people.

After that he could trap her. - You rascal!

Please forgive me. - You loafer! Cheapskate!

Did you not feel ashamed behaving so cheaply.

Don't you have womenfolk at home? - My mother died before l was born.

''l mean, as soon as l was born. A sister was never born.''

l wish had a sister. Would you be my sister?

You shameless fellow.

Never mind. A sister slapped you after all.

''Come on, dear. She slapped me real hard!''

lt's you! l'll just inform brother that you've come.

''Stop. l haven't come to meet your brother, but you.''

''lt's the same thing. Brother, Miss Kanchan has come to meet you.''

l will come just now. Be seated.

''Prakash, where are you going? l know the trick you played on her.''

You should drown in shame. To behave in this manner with a decent girl.

What right had you to trouble her in the forest?

''Brother, do not interfere in my affairs.''

l should not interfere? You play the tricks...

and l have to bear the taunts. You are at fault and l'm blamed for it.

Come on now immediately ask her forgiveness.

''No brother, do not force me. l will not say sorry to her.''

You won't? And why won't you? Will you do such a cheap thing again?

Will you tease a decent girl again?

''Brother, l swear l won't. My neck!''

''Leave my neck, brother. - Will you do it again?''

Please forgive me.

Don't ask my forgiveness. Ask Miss Kanchan's.

Beg at her feet. - l'm ready to beg before her.

But please let me go.

He's run away. He's a coward.

What a shame! May God never give such a shameless brother.

Forgive me l was not able to bring my guilty brother before you.

Doesn't matter. You have given him quiet a scolding.

''l think, he will not do all this again.''

l'm sure even today he'll disguise himself and do something stupid.

l have been talking to you and have forgotten to serve you.

Will you have tea or coffee? - l have already had it. l'll go now.

Please sit down. Mother must be about to return from the temple.

Meet her and then go. - Some other time.

As you wish.

What are you looking at?

You look good in the picture. - A picture is no good.

lt's the character which should be good. Then everything is fine.

All right l'll go. - Good day. Please do come again.

l have brought her arrogance down. Two or three meetings more...

and l am sure she'll be more friendly

''Big brother, now become the small brother.''

Where are you going? - To get some motor cycle parts.

Have the offerings. - l'll have the rest later.

Master... master...

''Come in, my dear.''

''My son teaches you, doesn't he? - Yes.''

He's just gone out. Sit. - Thank you.

''l just left from here, while going l forgot my purse.''

This is an excuse to see you. My son praises you a lot.

Your son deserves all the praise. Though he is studying in college...

''he's so simple. But forgive me, this younger son of yours...''

is just the opposite to his brother. - What are you saying?

Both these photos are of him. - What...?

But master was saying that he was his twin brother.

He must be fooling. God has given me one son only.

May he live long. My son is one in a thousand.

''Not in thousands, but in millions.''

Today l have come at the right time.

You do everything at the right time.

Thank you. Now more time should not be wasted. Take out your book.

Forget this lifeless book.

Sometimes read a living book.

Let's first finish the lesson that was left incomplete yesterday.

Get your History book. - No master. Not History.

Today l feel like studying Geography.

''Just see, after rains how the sun is smiling!''

lt looks as if nature is playing hide and seek.

''Today if we stay inside these four walls, we will be harming ourselves.''

Come on let's go. - l don't understand.

Then try to understand.

Miss Kanchan... - l too have a heart. And...

it's not just a piece of glass. Wonder what spell you've cast on me!

A spell...? - Don't look at me like this.

lt's making me lose my senses. - Miss Kanchan...

''Not Miss Kanchan, just Kanchan. Say it.''

Let's go and find a lonely corner. - Let's go.

''Miss, why did you stop the car? - l didn't...''

this lovely weather stopped it.

''The weather, this lovely moment...''

and the solitude... do they give us the permission to go ahead?

Come on. Come on now.

Why are you so quiet? Are you thinking of something?

Yes. - What is that?

''The respect you are giving me, l don't think l deserve it.''

Why? - Look at your status and look at mine

l am worth less than this ring.

l don't weigh a person against silver and gold.

But this ring is precious for me.

Because the day l wore this you came into my life.

What! - You made your place in my heart...

just like this stone that's embedded in this ring.

''Miss Kanchan, what am l hearing? l cannot believe...''

whether this is the truth or just a dream.

''Now you believe? This is not a dream. - Yes, now l believe.''

ln love one can't cheat. - l agree.

But l hope you won't desert me.

Or start loving someone else.

Don't ever think l'm of that type. My heart is always with you.

l know that very well. Goodness!

What happened? - My precious ring.

Souvenir of my love. l loved it more than my life. Now what will happen?

''This is very inauspicious. - Don't worry, l'll get it.''

Will you jump in the water? - For your sake...

l will jump in the fire for your sake. - At least take off your clothes.

Please turn your face that side.

Got it! l found it.

Here's your precious ring.

''Turn your face, so that l can come out.''

l think you stay in there. - What are you doing?

So that you come to your senses. - Please give me your clothes.

''Don't worry, l will look after your younger brother.''

He's exactly three and half minutes younger to you

''Give me my clothes, please. For God's sake don't do this trick with me.''

''The way you fooled with me, was it less in any way?''

''Which pranks? - ''l have a twin brother.''

He is at fault but l am blamed. Bloody fraud!

''l beg of you, forgive me. - Now stay in water and meditate.''

l'll never play a prank like this again. How will l go home now?

My lover is beyond compare

He's amazing

''l've never seen anyone in a state worse as his''

lt's amazing

''l've heard, shyness...''

is the attitude of beauties

But my beloved shies away from me

''What would it make one think about?''

lt's amazing

''A sigh on the lips, and tears in the eyes...''

''it speaks of those who are love-struck''

''Listen folks, he's not a madcap''

He's only a little crazy about me

He's only crazy about me

lt's amazing

There's no one like my beloved

He's amazing

''You have saved me earlier too, God. Today my honour is at stake again.''

Save me today too God.

How dare you come here?

''l am the tool in my friend's hand. Whichever way he turns me, l turn.''

Have a look at this letter sent by Ravi.

' Miss Kanchan l am very sorry for what l did'

' lf possible please forgive me'

Forgive him.

' l have been punished for my mistake. What could be a greater punishment...

than this that now l will never dare to meet you'

Don't you ever dare try to meet me. - ' l am at fault. Ravi.'

Please wait.

Ravi has asked for a reply. - Reply?

Here it is. - Your reply is really great.

He is burning with fever for having been in the water half the night.

Your reply will complete the damage.

''Anmol Ratan, what happened? - Here's the reply. A torn up letter''

''ln love, a person too tears up like this sometimes.''

And this is only a letter. l'll hold these shreds dearer than my life.

To me it looks your life is in danger. Come out of this love.

''Ratan, to fall in love and come out of it, is not in my hands.''

l didn't think that by and by l'll take it so seriously in life.

Now l cannot go near her. Nor can l stay without her.

''l don't know, how does one cure one self of this disease.''

''Ravi, Kanchan is here. Come in.''

You...? - She's very shy.

She has been standing at the door for sometime wondering how to enter.

How are you feeling now? - What to say about his health?

''He has got a very strong injection, from his doctor, you see.''

He invited fever himself. Whoever bathes in a pond in such a weather?

God knows whose blanket he wore and came home.

He says that a she-monkey picked up his clothes and ran away.

You should be thankful the clothes were not on Ravi...

else the she-monkey would have carried him away too.

''l'll get some tea for you. - No, l have just had tea and come.''

''Please don't bother. - Fine, you had tea.''

But why must you deprive him of it? Please get me a cup of Darjeeling tea

Please sit. - Please be seated.

Consider it your own house. - You got something important to do!

What important work can l have?

Will you have a banana?

''You can't, you are having medicine.''

l almost forgot. l really have some important work.

But what is the work? Doesn't matter. l'll ask someone on the way.

''What about my tea? - Go away, will you?''

Thank you for the reply to my letter. l really deserve it.

Please do not make me feel ashamed. l have come to apologize to you.

Why apologize? lf you embrace me l will have no complaints against you

''What! - l mean, now that you are here...''

there's no need to apologize. - Whatever l said in anger...

please forget it. - l'd forget only if l remember.

This is my good point. l do not remember minor things...

''while, important things l never forget.''

Like that important thing of yours l will never forget that...

''after finishing studies, you want to get married.''

Can l help you in this matter?

''First help yourself. Talk less, and rest more.''

Can l go now?

Please give me water then you can leave.

''Here child, have some tea.''

l'll make it.

May l leave? - After she makes the tea.

''Now do l have the permission? - Yes, you have. Have your tea.''

''Listen, my beloved...''

to the cuckoo

ln ardour...

it sings aloud...

and warns everyone

''For, Springtime is here''

''Even the boughs bearing flowers...''

sing the same song

''The time to unite with my beloved...''

is approaching hastily

''What you hear rustling in the breeze...''

is a new tale of love

''Watch out, folks...''

''for, Springtime is here''

''Listen, my beloved''

Don't give me that piercing gaze

What do you intend to do?

Don't arouse my desires...

l implore you

My feelings could betray me

And l might lose my peace

''Watch out, folks...''

Springtime is here

''Listen to me, my beloved''

The first monsoon showers...

caress the garden

Such a sight...

''would even make travellers lose their way''

l wish to spend my life...

with you

''Watch out, folks...''

Springtime is here

''Listen to me, my love''

What happened? - Great! Amazing!

''What happened? - Shut up! Anmol Ratan, my son!''

Coming father. - Amazing!

How is it that you are smiling today? - The news is such.

When you hear you'll jump in joy. Come on sit down.

The stars tell that very soon a women will enter this house.

Brother-in-law! - Father.

''My son, l have called you because in matters of marriage...''

it is very important to take the opinion of one's children.

l am sure you will have no objection to this wedding.

''How can l disobey you, father? There is a girl in my mind.''

l am ready to get married. - Ass!

''Not yours, l'm talking of my wedding. - Brother-in-law!''

''Father! - Son, you are still a child.''

You don't need a wife but a mother.

Mother! - What about me?

You need a sister. - Sister!

Why are both of you so depressed? l am not marrying for my happiness.

l'm doing so for the happiness of my dead wife.

When she was dying she had taken an oath from me...

that l should not let her son live without a mother...

nor her brother without a sister. So l've decided to marry a widow.

''Father, you can marry any girl. She will herself become a widow.''

Son of a gun! Before my wedding you are making her a widow.

Shut up!

''Daddy, Ravi has passed. See his result.''

He has passed with such good marks he will definitely get a scholarship.

''What's surprising? Scholarships, boys generally get.''

''Mother, bless me that l pass all the exams in my life in this manner.''

My blessings are always with you. May God give you a long life.

May you get all the happiness in the world.

''l'll think that, l have been reward for my penance.''

l take an oath on your love mother...

that the life you blessed me with will be spent in serving you.

l will make you forget all the pain of your past.

Just what l expect of you.

''Mother, can l give this good news to a friend of mine.''

''Yes, of course. Listen, give my love to your friend.''

''Yes, mother. - Ask her why she doesn't drop in.''

Thousands of congratulations. - Thanks lakhs of times.

Where are you going? - Nowhere. Where are you going?

l'm not going anywhere either. Come with me.

''Believe me Kanchan, l'm not so happy for having passed...''

as l am to see my mother's dream... - Has your mother's dream come true?

Not yet. lf my mother's dreams are compiled in a book...

passing MSC is only the first page. - And the rest of the pages?

That after l finish my studies l become a very big scientist.

After that? - l should do new experiments...

for the progress and prosperity of my country and create new things.

After that? - Then... then...

''l should marry, so that mother gets to see her grandchildren playing around.''

When are you going to fulfill all these dreams?

''The other dreams l will fulfill, sooner or later.''

''But as far as her grandchildren are concerned, you know...''

l cannot fulfill that dream all by myself.

Do you have a girl in mind? - Yes. Even l am in her mind.

What is the delay in marriage?

Let me become capable of taking on the burden of running a house.

''Kanchan, why are you depressed?''

''l'm afraid, if l have to wait longer, l'll have to marry someone else.''

''Kanchan, don't ever say that again. l just got a shock.''

You don't know how depressed l feel.

My mother has already talked to many people about my marriage.

''lf she fixes my marriage somewhere else, then l cannot disobey her.''

''No, this cannot be. God has made you only for me.''

But God is not going to give away the bride.

For that you got to meet my father. - Then tell your daddy that...

''tomorrow, Mr Ravi Prakash is coming to meet him''

But will you be able to talk? - Why won't l be able to?

''What don't l have, except money. When a husband and wife agree...''

even the priest cannot do anything about it.

Come in Ravi. Congratulations for achieving success.

''Thank you very much. But today l need your blessings too, sir.''

Blessings! - Yes. Sir today l have come...

to talk to you about something special. - Kanchan too said that.

Please sit.

''Yes, what is it?''

''Well, actually, can l go fishing in your lake.''

ls this the special thing? - This just slipped out of my mouth.

''That is something else. - Tell me, what is it?''

Don't worry. Except for both of us no one else is here.

''Sir in your opinion, when will man reach the moon.''

''So you had to ask this? - No, that is a special request.''

l wanted to say...

What...? Something special? Do not waste my time.

''Whatever it is, say it in the office. Something special, indeed!''

So what do you want to say? - Well... it's nothing.

Forgive me l have wasted your precious time. Please forgive me.

l don't know how people become millionaires.

lt's hard to even become a husband. - Coward! Just see how l talk to him.

''Daddy, are you going upstairs? - Yes.''

To dress up to go to office? - Yes.

Can't you wait a while? - Why what's the matter?

''Today, l want to say something special to you.''

Strange! No one is talking of ordinary things today. What is it?

Nothing. Go on. There's nothing special. Nothing special.

l'm here to say something special.

lts our good luck that you've come here.

Be seated. Why are you standing? - Thank you.

How can l help you? - l wish that you make Kanchan...

''the daughter-in-law of this house, and give her the chance to serve you.''

What! - You give your approval...

and l'll fix the auspicious time and get Kanchan and Ravi engaged.

''Why are you quiet, Jamuna Devi?''

There is something Mr Diwan.

Then you don't think Kanchan is fit to be your daughter-in-law?

God! The family Kanchan marries into will be very fortunate.

l do not think myself to be capable of this alliance.

A small hut is no match for a big mansion.

Look at your status and look at ours.

Riches and poverty are like the sun and it's shadow.

A person's intelligence is judged by his competence.

Wealth may not be able to create competent people...

but competent people can definitely create wealth.

''Relationships work well where people of equal status are involved, elders say.''

l have never seen wealthy and poor people living together.

''Maybe, but not all fingers are alike.''

''Besides, why do you think yourself to be poor?''

''God has given you such a son, which everyone doesn't get.''

What are you thinking about? - What should l say?

Never in my dreams did l ever think my son would get me so much respect.

Congratulations to you. - To you too.

''Lord, thanks a million.''

l'll leave now. l will ask the priest to fix an auspicious date...

for the engagement and let you know immediately. Good day.

''My Lord, today is such a happy day. Alone l can't take in this happiness.''

l wish you were here to share this happiness with me.

lt's been 25 years since we were set apart.

What all difficulties did l not have to suffer

But l have done my duty.

All l regret is that l was not destined to serve you.

''Kanchan, l think you will not be able to pay back your daddy's favour...''

for the next seven lifetimes. He approved of a capable man like me...

and made your life. - Really?

l think you have very great misunderstanding about yourself.

''Actually, l felt sorry for you. What all didn't you do for my sake.''

Liar.

''Now tell me, where will we go for our honeymoon, after our marriage?''

''Aren't you ashamed to talk like this? - l used to feel, but not anymore.''

Lets make all our programmes now itself. Time passes very soon.

''lt seems to be just yesterday when we had fought, and made up.''

And now soon we'll be engaged and then very soon you'll be my wife.

Pretty soon we will start our new life and see the realization of our dreams.

''Every morning l will go to the office, and you'll be...''

''standing at the door looking at me, till l disappear.''

''ln the evening when l come back tired, you'll be waiting for me at the door.''

You'll be very happy to see me and will smilingly ask me.

'''So you have come, my dear' Please ask me.''

'So you have come my dear'

''' Munna's mother, get me my tea.' And you will say...''

'''Just wait, Munna is crying.' Say it.''

'''Just wait a little, Munna is crying'''

''When l will put on the radio at night, you will say...''

''' Put off the radio, Munna is sleeping.'''

'Switch off the radio. Munna is sleeping.'

''' Munna's mother, it's midnight Let's rest too. Come near me.'''

''' l have some work' - 'You can work later, come closer.'''

' l just remembered something important.'

lmportant? What is it? - lt is...

Until this bud...

blossoms...

have patience

Hang on till then

''lmpossible is waiting for him...''

whom you make restless

Have patience

l'm not allowed to make love

''Now that's indifference, not love''

l love to see you lament

''Let me hear you grumble over and over again''

Have patience

''lmpossible is waiting for him...''

whom you make restless

You can't make me give in

''l'm afraid, love might drive you insane''

l'd prefer insanity...

''if l were to have my love requitted''

''Until this bud blossoms...''

wait

Have patience

''Everytime l told you my desires...''

you came up with new excuses

''The last excuse was the last one indeed, my love''

Trust me

Wait

How can l wait?

You make me so restless

Have patience

Hold on

Let's make love

Have patience

You look so beautiful. l hope no one casts an evil eye on you.

''You are great. You passed both your exams, MSC. and romance...''

both at the same time.

That's love. He took his romance at the speed of Boeing.

Here l am for the last four years stuck on the barrel of love.

We should be ashamed of ourselves.

lf this is going to be our speed then Ravi's and Kanchan's children...

will be our guests at our wedding.

''Mr Diwan, what is the delay? - l am waiting for my sister.''

She is coming from Punjab. l want her to conduct this auspicious ceremony.

Daddy why hasn't sister become a bride yet?

''She will become a bride, when she gets married, and not now.''

Then get her married first and then do the engagement.

''Welcome, sister. - How are you?''

We were waiting for you.

May you all have a long life.

May you live long. You look so pretty.

Let me introduce you to her fiance.

This is Ravi. - May God bless you.

''Jankidas, you are fortunate to have found such a nice and handsome boy.''

This is all God's blessings. Come with me.

''Come sister, meet our relations.''

Meet Ravi's mother. She is my elder sister.

''Both of you talk, l'll just be back.''

l am very happy to meet you. May God see that this relation always stays.

Are you from Ambala? - Yes.

You were in Krishna locality. - Yes.

''So your name is Jamuna, isn't it? - Yes.''

No! That Jamuna is dead now!

Mother!

''Brother, stop all this. This engagement will not take place.''

Sister... - Thank God l reached on time.

Or else we would've lost face. Do you know who he is?

A son of an unmarried woman. - Quiet. lt's a lie.

My mother is a Goddess. - A Goddess indeed!

Go to Ambala and find out what your mother did.

''From where, about 30 years back she ran away pregnant with someone's child''

''Another word against my mother, and l'll rip your tongue.''

How many tongues will you rip? Go and ask your mother...

''why she ran away from Ambala, who is your father, when she married...''

in front of whom did she marry.

Get out!

What are you watching? - Watching how money...

plays with the honour of the poor in public.

''My mother is innocent, Kanchan. She is being accused falsely.''

l'll find out everything from her. Meet me in the evening...

at the same place. l'll tell you everything.

Come on here.

''Mother, why are you quiet? Why did you come away from there?''

Do you know that woman lied about your chastity and insulted you.

She humiliated me in front of everyone.

''l want to hear from you, mother, that, that woman was a liar...''

and she spoke rubbish in front of everyone.

''Mother, say that it is all lies. Please say it's all lies.''

lt is not lies. - Mother!

But the truth is...

Quiet! Not another word will l hear.

l wish l died before l heard it.

''Don't say this, my son. - l am not your son.''

''Not my mother, you are my enemy.''

l hadn't ever dreamt that the mother l had worshipped as a Goddess...

she was in reality something else. l didn't know that the hand...

that had put a black mark on my face to protect me from the evil eye...

had put a blot of sin on my face.

Why didn't you kill me as soon as l was born?

''My son, listen to me... - l don't want to hear anything.''

''Wait Ravi, wait! - Your Ravi is dead!''

''Ravi, my son!''

Ask the folks in Ambala what your Goddess did 25 years back.

She ran away with an illegitimate child in her womb.

Who is your father. ln front of whom did she marry?

''l think you are new here, and it's the first time you're taking a drink.''

''l can see from your face that, you have been deeply hurt.''

But you will not get drunk and your pain will not lessen either.

Come with me. - Who are you?

Well-wisher of men like you. Come with me.

Have a drink... go on.

''Sharbatibai, you are great.''

Just amazing!

Can l just go and see my child? - Who will look after us?

l will not let you go. Come on dance now.

Let her go. - My son is crying of hunger.

Let him. He has to cry all his life.

Who will never know whose son is he.

Quiet!

''You've got so angry that not her son, but you are being called fatherless.''

''The accused, Ravi Kumar has clearly refused to tell his father's name.''

''That is why before we start the case, l request the court to...''

''find out the name of Ravi's father, from him.''

What's your father's name?

The court wants to know your father's name.

''Without knowing the name of the father, can't the case be decided?''

''Even after you have asked, he refuses to tell his father's name.''

lt seems he is from a family of high status...

and is the son of father who is not well thought off.

''Who, he doesn't want to humiliate. - This is lies. All lies.''

''Sir, neither am l from a high stock, nor my father is well reputed.''

To tell you the truth l feel ashamed to take his name.

''He is cruel, cheap and of a loose character.''

That has nothing to do with the case. - You do not have the permission...

to abuse anyone in the court. - Abuse? lf l were to meet him...

''l'd hack him to pieces, l'd drink his blood.''

Aren't you ashamed to abuse your father?

l'm ashamed of the fact that unfortunately l am the son...

of such parents who gave birth to me without getting married...

and made me a burden on this earth and a blot on society.

''The picture of his family is now clear. Like father, like son.''

lt is not surprising that the accused has committed this crime.

''So he should be punished for what he did, by the law.''

l'm not scared of punishment. Because the punishment l am suffering...

''the greatest of the courts in the world too, cannot give it to me.''

''l know l went to the wrong place, had liquor and quarrelled.''

''But believe me sir, l didn't achieve the university degree...''

so that l'd get arrested for hooliganism and brought to court...

that l should be insulted and the world point its finger at me.

This is the result of the conflict within me.

And my father Ram Prakash is responsible for it.

He is worse than the demon Ravan.

This shameful incident which took place 25 years back was revealed...

when l had just stepped in to start of my new life.

''l was going to be engaged. At that time my mother,...''

instead of being greeted by bouquet of flowers...

was hurled with brickbats and taunts.

My happy life was turned into hell.

''Sir, the accused is wasting the time of the court.''

The court empathises with you.

Can you tell the name of your mother?

Jamuna.

Where are you from? - Punjab.

From where in Punjab? - Ambala.

''Master, today returning from the court you seem to be a little lost.''

What is the matter? - Nothing.

You are hiding something. l have spent all my life with you.

You never looked upon me as servant but as a member of your household.

lf you do not tell me the reason of your sorrow...

l'll think you take me for a stranger.

''Dinu, you are my only companion in this world.''

What can l hide from you? Actually...

today an accused was presented in court before me.

''After hearing his statement, l felt as if he was not the accused, l was.''

''What are you saying, master? - The truth.''

''l can't be more unfortunate, when my own blood was spitting on me...''

and my own son was abusing me in front of everyone.

Your son! - Yes Dinu.

l thought that the unfortunate girl had committed suicide...

not having been able to tolerate the hardships of the world.

But she is still alive. - What did you say? Mistress is alive?

Why didn't you bring your son along? - How could l? Destiny wills otherwise

He hates his parents. He wants to kill his father.

But why?

He thinks he is the symbol of the sin committed by his mother and father.

Goodness. Why didn't you tell him everything? You are innocent.

l wanted to embrace him. But seeing so much hatred for me within him...

l didn't dare to even talk to him.

''Tell me where is he, master. l will go and tell him everything.''

No Dinu. The time has not come.

l want to take him with me and go to his mother.

l want to touch the feet of that Goddess and apologize.

''Unless she forgives me, my son's hatred will not turn into love.''

''Do whatever you have to soon, master. My old eyes are desperately wanting...''

to see all of you together again.

You are free. Your bail has been given.

l've been bailed out? Who is my friend here?

l am.

''Magistrate saheb, you? - l mean...''

l bailed you out.

Strange. You ordered the punishment and you yourself bailed me out.

''This was my duty, and this too is my duty. That was my legal duty...''

''this l did on humanitarian grounds. - Thanks, but...''

l don't understand why is there so much pity for a stranger...

and a vagabond like me. - l don't know why...

but l feel like listening to your whole story.

Come with me.

lt seems as if you did not give your mother a proper hearing.

''Maybe if l had heard her full story, l would have killed her.''

Maybe after hearing the whole story you would have fallen at her feet...

and apologized to her. - What are you saying?

''l am saying this, on the basis of my experience.''

''ln my court many such cases have come, where people...''

''have without thinking, taken certain steps, and later on they had to repent''

My heart says that you are a victim of misunderstanding.

''Tell me, from the time you were born, have you ever seen anyone...''

raise a finger at your mother? - No.

So think. lf what's said about her was true then wouldn't she have spent...

her youth in comfort and luxury rather than toiling day and night?

But you have in a moment kicked away the penance she did...

''for 25 years, and walked away.''

''For whom she bore every brunt, if he were to spurn her...''

imagine what becomes of her. What must she be feeling?

There is still time. Go to her and listen to all that she has to say.

Don't think anymore. Don't waste time. l'll go with you.

''lf l can make a mother and son unite again, l will be very happy.''

Get up.

Please come in.

''Mother... mother. - Ravi my dear, where have you been?''

''Where is mother? - What do l say, son?''

Your mother is no more.

The villagers informed that she jumped in the river that same night...

and gave up her life. This was written in her destiny.

That means the blame put on her was right...

and out of fear of the world she committed suicide.

Doesn't your tongue resist while something so bad about your mother?

''Then was this all lies? - Lies, absolutely!''

She was absolutely innocent. Her only fault was her poverty.

Because of which your wealthy father hid from his parents...

and married her in a temple. After promising her he left...

never to return.

''What are you saying, aunt? - l am telling the truth.''

Your mother had no proof of marriage and was expecting you.

She came here and was lived on this hope that...

''you will wipe her tears, and show her happy days. But she couldn't...''

''Mother, what have you done? How can l ask for forgiveness?''

My fault doesn't deserve forgiveness. l hurt your motherly feelings.

Let God give me the biggest punishment l deserve.

No use crying now. lt is neither your mistake nor your mother's.

''Honestly, it's your father who is the root cause of this tragedy.''

Hurry up. Very good.

Give it to me

lt'd be better if you do not look that side.

What is happening? - What do l say?

Destiny is playing a very bad trick with you.

Tomorrow Kanchan is getting married.

Please congratulate Kanchan on my behalf.

''Ravi, l'm very sorry, you have to suffer so much sorrow.''

You need some kind of support. - No sir.

l have to look for that man who is the cause of all this.

On that too l can help you in many ways. Come with me.

Come.

''How long will you weep, dear?''

Have something to eat. - l do not want anything.

Ravi too is suffering.

Yes. He met me just now. He is very unhappy.

Didn't he say anything to you? - He did.

To congratulate you on your wedding.

No! Where is he? - He was going towards the station.

Where are you going? - Station.

''Listen dear, it's not right time to leave the house.''

No Hariya. l cannot stay anymore in this prison. You know...

l never agreed to this wedding nor l agree now.

''But dear... - Not a word, please!''

No one can stop me from going to Ravi. l'm leaving this city.

You are crying? You should be happy.

Doctor has given you permission to go home now.

What should l do? Where should l go? Who do l have here?

l wish l had died in the accident. - Don't say that.

One who has no one in this world has God on his side.

You come with me. Please come.

After hearing your story even l couldn't hold back my tears.

Wipe your tears and don't think yourself to be alone anymore.

From today look upon this as your own home and me as your younger sister.

Thank you so much for your kindness. But l can't become a burden on you.

How can a sister be a burden? - Even then l want to get some work.

You don't worry about this. God will find some way or the other.

l'm feeling very hungry. Let's eat something. Please come.

''Sir, have another hot one. - Enough.''

''Come on, have another one. - l'm stuffed.''

''When l was your age, l used to feel so hungry that...''

sometimes l used to finish even the neighbours' flour.

Even Dinu wants to see you happy. - Of course.

''Come out of your grief, and remain happy.''

l will only be happy that day when l will find my evil father...

and ask him as to why he destroyed my and my mother's life.

''You'll find him, certainly.''

''My dear, the life of an intelligent boy's life...''

''is not so cheap either, which is to be wasted just emotionally.''

lf you listen to me. l will get you a nice job. You will be occupied too.

You are so kind to me. l feel that both of us...

have some relationship from our past lives.

Why past life? Even in this life we have some relationship. Right?

At last l see you smile.

This too suits you a lot.

Give this suit length. Get all this packed and put it in the car.

''Sir, you have already done so much for me.''

l will not be able to pay back all these favours of yours.

Returning my favours. Let this all be now. Come.

Are my wife's clothes ready? - They are being packed.

''How much is this for? - 2,65.''

Why have you stopped? What's the matter?

Nothing.

''Sister, did you like anything? - How do you find this?''

Wear this and show it to me.

Why do you get lost in thoughts? - Rachna...

you are doing so many favours on me. l wonder how l will pay you back.

lf you consider a younger sister's love a favour...

then you can pay me back right now. - What do you mean?

''l mean that if you help me, my pay can be doubled.''

l'll do whatever you say.

''Very good, then get ready to become a nurse.''

''A nurse..? - Yes, my uncle is a doctor...''

and he owns a nursing home. lf l find a nurse he'd pay me double.

''First Meera was going to come with me, but not now.''

She is getting married. You will have to come with me.

Me? - Yes. What are you thinking?

Quit when you find brother-in-law. - Naughty girl.

Sir...

''Good timing, Ravi. There's a letter from the Research lnstitute.''

They have called you for an interview. l'm sure you'll get this job.

Aren't you happy?

''Forgive me, l want to go. l have come to take your permission.''

''Ravi, why do you keep on saying you want to go.''

What is the problem here? - The problem is that the person...

''l am looking for, l cannot find him staying here.''

l'm telling you that you can get him by staying right here.

''One day, he will be standing here in this house...''

just the way l am standing here. - When will that day come?

You will have to wait. - l cannot wait anymore.

''For me, life has become a burden. l am beginning to hate this life.''

But l love your life. l will settle it. l will see that...

there is not a shadow of sorrow and pain on it.

Why are you wasting your precious time on me?

You are very precious to me than my time.

''The truth is, l see my son in you.''

Your son...? Where is he now?

Unfortunately l lost him in an accident.

What about his mother? - She too became a prey to it.

So you are alone in this world?

''Not anymore. You are with me. - You are great, magistrate saheb.''

''Ravi l am a magistrate for the whole world, but not for you.''

l really look upon you as my son. Can't you look upon me as a father?

l have great respect for you. - l don't need your respect.

''l need your love. l request you, do not leave me.''

Don't ever leave me.

''Master, why must you torment your soul?''

l can't see you in this state. Why don't you tell him everything?

''No Dinu, the time has not come yet.''

Till the hatred in Ravi ends l will have to tolerate everything.

'''Sir, whatever you did for me, l don't have enough words...'''

to thank you. l have tried so often to go away from here...

but your love always stopped me.'

' But l can no longer stay here. l am going away. Please forgive me.'

l will always remember your favours. Ravi.'

'''The truth is, l see my son in you.'''

' l really look upon you as my son. Can't you think me to be your father'

' l need your love. Don't ever leave me and go'

'The root cause of all the problems is your father'

''What is it, sir? - Where is the magistrate?''

He has gone to the inauguration of a Destitute Women's Home.

You must be glad to know that the Home for Women has been completed.

This is because of the relentless efforts of magistrate Ram Prakash.

Rich men there are many in our city.

''But in the eyes of humanity, he is considered to be a great man...''

who helps the poor and is of use to them.

That is why l feel that magistrate is the greatest man of this city.

''Why only of this city, but call him the greatest man in the world?''

''Such great men are not born everyday, who think it to be a game...''

''to play with helpless women, and then shun them.''

Stop this rubbish. Go away from here.

Do not stop him. Let him say what he wants to.

He is not a stranger. My own blood is letting out his anger against me.

His blood runs down my veins. That annoys me.

Because what he did is an embarrassment to humanity.

''He feigned to and innocent woman, then threw her and her son...''

at the mercy of the world.

''The magistrate did that? - Yes, he did.''

''He did injustice to her, yet sits on a chair to pronounce justice.''

ls that true? - Why are you quiet?

''Give us an answer. - Yes, give an answer.''

Except for keeping quiet what answer can he give.

lt's not that Ravi. l have an answer to all your questions.

You have put all false allegations on me.

''The only fault that l did, was that out of fright of my parents...''

l got married to Jamuna in a temple.

''Before l could disclose it to anyone, l had to suddenly go to England''

She had written that she was going to become a mother...

but unfortunately l got the letter when my world was lost.

''Jamuna couldn't bear the taunts of society, and had left home.''

l searched for her for months. l looked all over...

''through towns and cities, and later believed the people when they...''

''told me that due to shame and humility, she committed suicide.''

Great. What a beautiful story you've created to prove yourself innocent.

''Now if this is a story or a reality, it's upto you to decide.''

This building and this statue has not been made in two days to impress you.

lt's been made since years.

This is my tribute to that Goddess.

lt's time for prayers. Just wash the utensils.

''Again you've got a fit. God, on this Diwali festival this is a bad omen.''

You there! Come to your senses.

Don't stare into my eyes like a dead buffalo!

You have made my life miserable. Had my husband not rescued you...

l wouldn't have had to tolerate you. You are not worth doing anything.

''l am sorry madam, l fainted.''

l know all these excuses of yours. You never see the time and place.

l'm tired of the excuses. The other day you asked me for shelter.

''As soon as you would find your son, you would go away.''

Now you just want go! Stop it and just get out of here!

''Madam, where should l go at this time?''

Get out of the house. Now!

Cursed one! As if it's her father's house.

''What is the matter? - Nothing, l just felt dizzy.''

Where do you want to go? l will take you there.

Where do l have to go? l have no one.

You have no one? - Don't say that.

l have everyone. But it's my destiny which is bad.

A home for women like has come up nearby. l'll take you there. Come.

This poor woman has no one in this world. Will she get shelter here?

''Yes, the home is meant for such women. Come sister, come with me.''

''Goodbye. - Bless you, son.''

''ln memory of the late Jamuna Devi.''

Excuse me. please tell me who got this statue made?

''The magistrate here, Ram Prakash. - Where does he stay?''

He stays on this road. The last house is his.

But what is the matter? - Nothing.

Who?

Who's there?

Who are you?

My son! - Mother.

''Mother, where did you go? Why did you leave me?''

Look at your state. - This is my destiny.

''Don't worry, mother. Bad times are over now.''

l have found father too.

Father!

''Father, mother is alive.''

''Come, mother.''

l thank God with all my heart.

''Where have you been, Jamuna?''

Quickly ring up the doctor. She fainted.

ls Dr Verma there? - Yes. Who is speaking?

l'm speaking from magistrate Shukla's place.

Please give the phone to the doctor.

''Doctor, call for you.''

What did you say? l'll be right there.

''lt's serious. She has blood pressure, her heart is weak too.''

''Doctor, do whatever you can and cure her.''

We will never forget this favour of yours.

Do not worry. She needs rest. Else admit her in the nursing home.

Or l can send a nurse here to take care of her.

We'll be very grateful if you can send a nurse here.

Forget whatever happened. lt was no one's fault.

lt was all written in my destiny. l don't blame destiny anymore.

''l have complaint against both of you. - Why, what happened?''

''You forgot to give mother medicine, and mother forgets to have medicine.''

''Please have it. - No, l don't need medicines.''

l only need a daughter-in-law in the house.

''Listen to me mother. For a while, consider me your daughter-in-law.''

Bitter? - See? He's digressing.

''Meet Kanchan's father tomorrow itself. - Mother, forget Kanchan.''

She's been married long ago. - She's married?

So what? My son has no dearth of girls. And my friend...

Mehra's daughter Lily is also arriving today.

What is this Lily? Why is she coming? - To show you her face and see yours.

You're here? - Yes. Where is Mr Shukla?

''Upstairs. Listen, before going up hear something l have to say.''

Please tell me. - Please sit down. l'll explain.

''See, we are strangers to each other. - What?''

Be seated.

Neither do l know anything about you nor do you know about my nature.

And marriage is a lifelong matter. Anything done in haste could be...

bad for both of us. - What are you saying!

''lt's true. l grant that you are educated, beautiful and gentle...''

''but for marriage, my circumstances don't permit me to marry you.''

''Very strange, l don't follow.''

''Sorry, l can't marry you. lf mother asks you, please refuse point blank.''

l'll do that.

l'll be obliged to you forever.

God!

l was waiting for you.

''Now that you are here, mother's condition will definitely improve.''

''Sorry, you folks had to wait for me. - No problem.''

The reason is that my Cadillac was with mummy and the Plymouth...

''has gone for servicing, and the Baby Hindustan is too small a car.''

So l drove Daddy's Dodge here. - Aren't you from Dr Verma's hospital?

What have l to do with hospitals? Haven't you recognized me?

''No. - l'm Justice Mehra's daughter, Lily.''

Lily? Then who was that? - Who?

You've come in Daddy's Dodge? What can l do for you?

Will you? - Yes.

Then come. - Where to?

To the club. - What's there?

What can we do here? We can sit there and talk in peace.

But....

Mr Ravi? l'm calling from Dilwar Shoes.

''We've lost your shoe size, so please send it again.''

Yes l'll send it.

''What...? The condition is serious? l'll tell her, she's right here.''

lt was from your house. Your father's condition is bad.

He wants you there now. - But Daddy had flown to Calcutta.

Maybe he has flown back. l think you should go soon.

''All right, we'll meet again.''

''You may say anything, but so long as that ill-mannered person is here...''

l will not be able to come here. - But who can that be?

Listen son.

She's complaining that someone was troubling her downstairs.

''Just find out and pull his ears. - Mother, he's not at fault.''

He mistook her for someone else.

''Yet, l'll take back his words on his behalf. Please forgive.''

''He said, l take back the words, please forgive this idiot.''

He seems very clever. What's his name? - His name is....

l forgot to ask the name. But everyone calls him little master at home.

l really liked him. - What do you mean?

Meaning that... Shall l say?

Tell me. - You won't get angry?

''lf you don't tell, l'll beat you.''

Meera told me that when you fall in love...

your heart goes like this.

''So, is your heart also going like this?''

''l wish someone would fall for me''

''l wish someone steals my very being, l wish l'd lose my heart''

Today l wish for the worst

''l wish someone would fall for me''

''When there is still time, back off''

''Else, you will be tormented''

Perhaps you have no idea...

there are merciless men out there

You are right

''ln love, you will face a million atrocities''

l'd endure a million sorrows...

for just one kind gesture

''l wish someone steals my very being, l wish l'd lose my heart''

Today l wish for the worst

l wish...

''some crazy dude falls in love with me''

''Every breath of mine, every heartbeat of mine...''

l wish he misses

You are on a song now

He might make you pray

''You could have a grudge against others''

''He might make you resent yourself''

''When there is still time, back off''

Else you will be tormented

l wish...

''some crazy dude falls for me''

''Of all the mistakes, this one costs dear''

So what if love hurts?

The pain is sweeter than any remedy

''l wish l have the peace that love is...''

''l'll take the restlessness that comes along''

''l wish someone steals my very being, l wish l'd lose my heart''

Today l wish for the worst

''l wish some crazy dude would fall for me''

''When there is still time, back off''

''Else, you will be tormented''

lf you say l will gather stars from the sky for you.

''You heard that, sister? l feel envious of this girl.''

Someone is willing to even bring stars for her. As for me...

l doubt if someone will even bring dates. On top of that...

you tell me to back off when there's still time.

Sister...

please tell me how to take this thing further.

''You are very innocent, Rachna. How am to explain to you?''

lf you take my advice before taking this step think once more.

But l've heard sister that in love's journey...

one thinks neither of the step before or the step after.

Why should l worry since you are there to think for me.

Now tell me some trick which will raise his love temperature for me.

There is not one but hundred ways for that.

''Tell me just one way sister, but a short-cut. But, no brakes.''

He must be having a car? - He does. But what's the connection?

There is.

''Should l go now? - Yes my dear, go.''

When you are about to leave make sure that he is near about.

''Ramchand, go see if the driver is outside.''

After that stumble against something and fall.

He will certainly come to your aid.

''What happened? How did you fall? Hope you are not hurt, child?''

No. You please go.

''Where did he land from? Sister, what should l do now?''

What happened? Did you fall?

Are you hurt?

You can't even walk. l'll tell the driver to drop you.

''Sir, the driver has gone out.''

''Come, l'll drop you.''

How did you fall?

''Driver, drop madam home.''

Stupid driver!

How is the pain? - lt's got worse.

''Driver, hurry up.''

And he was about to drop me. - Then?

That stupid old driver appeared.

So his driver has dropped you here?

''Yes, l felt like pushing him out of the car.''

l think one should not fall where there is a driver.

Next time fall down when the driver is not at home.

''l'm not going to fall again, my pain in the leg is killing me.''

lf that is your state with a leg pain then what'll happen with a heartache?

''Will there be a heartache too! - There will be, will be....''

''l thought you have left. lt is very late, mother.''

''Yes, tell the driver to drop her.''

The driver has left. - Then you drop her.

Why are you troubling him? l'll go on my own.

There's no trouble. Come l'll drop you.

''Come in. - No, Rachna...''

''Now that you have come, meet my sister. She has mentioned it often.''

lt's late and mother is alone at home. l'll come again.

''Still, have some tea.''

Not just tea when l come l'll eat to my heart's content. You'll feed me?

''Why not? - All right, l'll leave then. Bye.''

Sister.

''You are crying, sister? What is the matter?''

l'd rather die than live.

''For whom l left everything, if l don't find him...''

''then what use living? - Have patience, sister.''

''How long can l be patient, Rachna?''

''l don't know what to do, where to go.''

Where haven't l looked for her?

''l feel my whole life will be over, suffering like this.''

''Don't say that, sister. Don't feel you are alone. Why don't l tell him?''

My heart says that he will definitely trace brother-in-law.

''No, swear by me you won't tell him. l can die in sorrow...''

but l cannot see my love being blamed.

Enough child. Your hands must be tired by now.

One never tires looking after elders.

Your thoughts are as beautiful as you are.

How fortunate will the family be where you go as the daughter-in-law.

''What do you say, Ravi? - Yes mother, you are quite right.''

l wish to talk to Rachna. - Who are you?

Me? l'm Rachna's sister.

''Rachna, who picked up the phone? - Mr Ravi.''

Ravi? Which Ravi?

The little master. The magistrate's son.

''Rachna, have you given him tickets for the charity show? ls he coming?''

l forgot. Why don't you talk to him? Sister wants to tell you something.

Tomorrow there is a charity in our hospital. l request you to come.

That will also be a chance to meet you.

''Yes, l've heard so much about you that l want to meet you too.''

''Tomorrow l have some important work, yet l will try my best to come.''

To make this show a success my sister has worked very hard.

The dance depicts the story of a lonely girl who is trying...

to send a message to her beloved. My sister plays the part.

''You won't forget it all your life. - Rachna, listen...''

Just wait a minute.

Just five minutes. Sister is changing. - Even one minute is difficult.

l'm going for some urgent work. Convey my apologies.

Give her these flowers along with my best wishes.

Are you really leaving?

''Here, take care of them. He has left them for you.''

''Left? - Yes, he had some important work.''

What was so important? At least you could have introduced him to me.

''l have tried many times, but somehow everytime, you miss meeting him.''

''Sister, quick. There he is.''

Let not...

the nights...

''of this year's monsoon too pass''

See how l pine...

and write a few words about it

Write a letter to my beloved

Convey my greetings

''Let him know, let him feel...''

''how l wade the days and nights of pining''

He lied to me all along

''But how can l show my anger? He's away''

The cursed city lured him away

''l pray, may he be sacked from his job...''

''that has made a slave out of him''

Convey my greetings in the letter...

''and he'll know, he'll feel it''

Write a letter... please

The day my beloved returns...

my bangles will chime in joy

l stay nearby

''Come over the day my beloved comes...''

and l shall give you a reward

So convey my greetings in a letter

''And he'll know, he'll feel it''

Please write

l have plenty of things to write

''But how do l tell you? You are a stranger to me''

''Those things on my mind make me lower my gaze in shyness...''

and sets my heart beating harder

So there ends your job

''All you do is convey my greetings in the letter''

''And he'll know, he'll feel...''

''how l wade the days and nights of pining''

You were really very good sister. l wish he too was at the show.

''l think, l will never meet him.''

Just a glimpse of him and l can tell you...

whether he is true about his love or not.

''Sister, he cannot be fake. - Why, have you put him to test?''

No. But my heart says he's true. - Your heart says so many things...

but what does his heart say? At least find that out too.

How can l do that? - lf he really loves you...

he will agree to everything you say. Try and talk to him.

Talk what? Please tell me.

You have to be told everything.

He must be definitely having tea and smoking cigarettes.

''Ask him to quit them. lf he quits, it means...''

he's feeling something for you at heart. Understood?

''May l say something? - Yes, what is it?''

''l don't at all like this habit of smoking, which you have.''

Give up smoking. - When did you see me smoking?

l never smoke.

You must be definitely drinking tea. Give that up please.

But l don't even drink tea. - Then what will you give up?

What do you mean?

''l mean, if you used to have tea or cigarette, then...''

''would you have stopped having, if l had told you to.''

''Well, what if l quit?''

Then l'd hug my sister and tell her that you love me for real.

Have l made a mistake?

What you are thinking is just not possible?

You are crying.

''Rachna, l'm very sorry, l hurt you.''

''Not your mistake, it's mine. l mistook your kindness for love...''

and your gratefulness for affection. How can there be a...

match between the son of a magistrate and an ordinary nurse?

''l respect your feelings. Maybe you don't know, my heart is broken...''

''l've been hurt once, and l don't deserve love anymore.''

''Rachna, my wishes got buried when the girl l loved got married.''

l wish l had never met you.

''Little master, your mother wants you.''

''Mother, why did you call me? - l have to say something to you.''

Tell me.

Tell him... - Go on...

You tell him. - What's there to feel nervous?

What is it that both of you cannot say?

lt's like this my son.

''Well, give us a promise that you will not refuse our request.''

''Don't you people have faith in me? - Of course we have, my dear.''

l'm longing to see a daughter-in-law in this house. Get married now.

You've been telling me that. Don't embarrass me. l don't want to marry.

We knew you'd say this. But parents too have some wishes and aspirations.

''lf not you, who will fulfill them?''

We wholeheartedly feel that now our new generation comes into our family.

That is all right father. But l am helpless.

''Think of your mother's helplessness, who has spent all her life...''

amidst sorrow and suffering.

''Now that she wants to see happiness, you want to snatch it from her?''

Have you forgotten when you used to say...?

''' Mother, you pray to God but l look upon you as God'.''

' l will worship you.' ls this the way you worshipped me?

lf you want to see your mother die before you marry...

''if you don't want her soul to rest in peace, then do what you want to.''

''Mother, don't cry. l can't see you in tears, l want to always see you happy.''

l'm ready to do what you want.

''Really, my son? - Yes mother.''

May l come in? - Come in my dear.

Good timing. Do you know? Ravi has agreed to get married.

Congratulations. May God always keep him happy.

''l'm afraid, that from tomorrow l will not be able to come.''

Why? - You have become all right now.

What is my need in the house? - Silly.

This is the time you are needed in this house.

Remember my words? Fortunate will be the house you marry into.

l wish to make you the daughter-in-law of this house.

Mother!

lt's you. How come the storm stepped so quietly in?

Why don't you speak? Why is the tempest silent tonight?

Did l go to his house today? Did l meet him?

What's come over you? Are you drunk?

''Sister, l hope l am not seeing a dream.''

This is not a dream.

What should l tell you sister? l cannot believe it myself.

l am going to become the daughter-in-law of that house.

Congratulations!

After all you too found someone who will bring the stars from the sky.

''Now tell me, when are you going to introduce me to him?''

''Whenever you say. By the way, he's coming to the party, you can meet him.''

''Forgive me Rachna, l am late. - Never mind.''

''The party seems full of life. - For me, it has come alive now.''

You know my sister is so desperate to see you.

Tonight she'll be very happy.

' Ravi is the son of the magistrate.'

'''Sister, l'm going to marry him.'''

' My sister desperate to see you. Tonight she will be so happy.'

''Rachna, l have looked upon you as my younger sister.''

For your sake l will have to be happy.

Even if l have to do something to betray his trust.

Let him think to be disloyal. lt will be good if he does so.

This is my sister.

Good day.

''Mr Ravi, l am very happy to meet you.''

Even l'm no less happy to meet you.

''l told you, both of you will be very happy to meet each other.''

Then please sing a song. - l do not want to.

Please! Come on.

''Mr Ravi will sing a song for you, in his melodious voice.''

With my heart...

O'cruel one...

you've played a beautiful prank

ln the garb of a friend...

you've been malicious

O foe of mine...

may you pine for my friendship

''O foe of mine, may you pine for my company''

''For all the anguish you've offered me...''

may you yearn for happiness...

O foe of mine

May you be Autumn's pet...

may you never bloom

''May you forever live in torment like me''

May you never find peace

May you live...

forever pining for life

O foe of mine...

may you pine for my friendship

''May all the love l showered on you...''

''do this much to you, O unfaithful one''

Let it make you realise...

''how mean and disloyal you were''

''May the embarrassment bring tears in your eyes forever...''

and make you yearn for laughter

O foe of mine...

may you pine for my company

''May your Eden lay barren...''

than the worst of deserts

''ln this world, may there be no friend for you...''

nor a foe

Let alone love...

you will yearn for indifference too

O foe...

you will pine for my company

''For all the pain you made me endure...''

may you yearn for happiness...

O foe of mine

Sister... sister...

' Dear sister. Do not search for me. Congratulations for having got Ravi.'

' He hates me. l am not unhappy for it. l want to see you happy'

' lt's better that l go away from here'

' My good wishes will always be with you'

Sister!

''Mr Ravi, it's a disaster. Wonder where sister left at this hour of the night.''

l'm so scared. Please find her.

How am l related to your sister? - Related...?

That poor thing broke all her relations for your sake.

Don't you have any relation with her? - What are you saying?

lt is unfortunate that it was all a confusion.

''For your sake, she didn't marry, and left home.''

''Till today, she has lived waiting for you.''

''Please hurry up. lf she does something, l won't be able to bear it''

''Let alone you, Rachna, l too will be damned.''

Kanchan! Stop!

''Kanchan, stop!''

''Diwan, all this show and pomp, this happiness...''

''l'm very happy, that our children will be getting married...''

according to proper rituals. Marriages should always be conducted...

with pomp and show before everyone. - You are right.

''Had l the courage, my wife and my son would not have had to suffer so much.''

''That is why, to avoid this misunderstanding...''

''l have got engaged to my Lajjo, in front of so many people.''

Where is your father?

He is going for a honeymoon with my brand new mother.

''Come on, welcome.''

''Listen, my beloved...''

to the cuckoo

ln ardour...

it sings aloud...

and warns everyone

Springtime is here
