people around here?!

I don't want to excite anybody!

You llTians are

excited enough already!

Looking at me obviously

excites you more...

but I really can't

do anything about it.

Krish!!!

Are you serious?! You're

really not coming with me?

"My naive, simple

heart was fine by itself"

"And then you came along

and turned it on its head"

"l was falling

in love with you"

"But you said

we're just friends"

"Desire coursed through me"

"But I could do nothing..."

"I can't escape"

"Love is snapping at my heels"

"ls this a comedy?"

"Or a tragedy?"

"Never wanted it,

now I'm stuck with it"

"I'm confuzzled in love!"

"I'm confuzzled in love!"

"What an absurd state I'm in"

"What is this mood God is in?"

"Why does he gamble

away my heart?"

"This pretense of friendship

feels like monotony"

"And I play at it, even

though my heart's not in it"

"l was doing fine by myself"

"Now like a dead flower,

I wilt"

"Used to be a dependable lad"

"Now I'm as useful

as a dried up pen"

"l lie awake at night"

"You've stolen my sleep"

"And when I do sleep"

"There you are peeping"

"From the windows of my dreams"

"So you tell

me-what do I do?'

"I can't escape"

"Love is snapping at my heels"

"ls this a comedy?"

"Or a tragedy?"

"Never wanted it,

now I'm stuck with it"

"I'm confuzzled in love!"

I began to have nightmares...

Ananya wanting to

make me her brother.

I thought that I should

take care of things...

before they get out of hand.

We have to stop

studying together!

Huh? Suddenly?!

What happened!

It's not you, it's me!

What does "It's not you, it's

me" mean?! Please explain!

Relax!

We're not getting divorced!

We just can't study together!

Krish!

"My naive, simple

heart was fine by itself"

"And then you came along

and turned it on its head"

Want to go to

Rambhai's after class?

No.

I have to study.

Are you both fighting?

Mind your own business!

"Never wanted it,

now I'm stuck with it"

"I'm confuzzled in love!"

Krish sir! Can you

spare 5 minutes, please?

What is this childish

behaviour, Krish?

Do you think your grades

will improve by ignoring me?

Nothing like that.

Krish! Eye contact!

I can't do this!

I can't keep up this

farce of 'friendship'.

Look, I know...

You're way out of my league.

But I don't want to

be your llT brother, either!

Okay, Krish, just calm down.

No!

I want you to be my girlfriend.

Surly"-

This is why we

shouldn't hang out.

But...

Krish...

I don't have any friends,

besides you...

Same here!

This is torture for me, Ananya!

Firstly, I hate Economics.

Secondly, I'm in love with

the mole on your left cheek.

It follows me around and

then I just want to kiss you!

Forget it.

You won't understand.

For you...

this is llT Proposal 55...

Sorry!

We were just looking

for our Frisbee.

There's nothing here!

This boy only studies!

Krish!

You're thinking way ahead.

Please stop!

Not that ahead...

Why should I stop?

Behave yourself.

You're getting nothing.

Nothing else or...

not even as much as yesterday?

Do guys only think

about one thing?

Well... yes.

We have to finish that

Normal Curve chapter tonight!

Which... curve?

Tell me at least!

Was this your first time?

Yeah... with you.

You mean you had

a girlfriend before?

Please take down these photos...

It feels like your parents are

watching us.

You never mentioned

this 'girlfriend' before...

Long story...

Oh God, Krish!

You have too many

'long stories'!

Rashmi.

In college.

Principal's daughter.

Then what happened?

Then what? I'm here.

She's probably

happily married...

Did you love her?

Sometimes I think that...

If I was a little braver...

Things would have

been different today.

Now, enough.

Last question!

Was she pretty?

Not at all!

- Punjabi?

- No...

You know...

My parents are

very conservative.

It's not like we're

getting married!

Right.

We're just messing around...

Like...

Friends with Benefits!

Ananya...

That's not what I meant!

Surly"-

I'm over-reacting...

Sorry!

Ananya!

Ananya!

- What?

- I love you.

What?!

You don't believe me?

Not at all.

You're just scared I'll

stop sleeping with you.

Well... that too.

No, but, honestly!

We spend all our time together.

Even when we're not together,

I only think about you!

It's clear, right?

I love you!

Good.

Now, it sounds convincing.

Hey wait! And you?

What about me?

I'm just using you for grades!

Oh, really...

Well, use me properly!

"My heart is at

odds with my head"

"How did love sneak

in and catch us unawares?"

"A little bit of a rascal"

"But kind of helpless, too"

"Love's a devil"

"But a lovable devil, it is"

"Offo!

Should I chase it away?"

"Offo!

Or should I hold it in embrace?"

"Offo!

Should I chase it away?"

"Offo!

Or should I hold it in embrace?"

"Should I wield

it like I'm proud?"

"Or slap it away?

Offo!"

"Look here it is...

with pocketfuls of mischief"

"Just like you,

it's quirky too"

"It's impulsive,

but it's thoughtful too"

"A little decent and

a little shameless too"

"Offo!

Should I chase it away?"

"Offo!

Or should I hold it in embrace?"

"Offo!

Should I chase it away?"

"Offo!

Or should I hold it in embrace?"

"Should I wield

it like I'm proud?"

"Or slap it away?

Offo!"

"Crossed every

line of astonishment"

"Acting silly when

I'm in my senses, too"

"What started as a

joke is now an obsession"

"A rather expensive

obsession, too"

"Love caresses my shoulders

like it's just a friend"

"But grabs every chance

to show what it really is"

"Past every limit

is this gesture of love"

"Love's a devil"

"But a lovable devil, it is"

"Offo!

Should I chase it away?"

"Offo!

Or should I hold it in embrace?"

"Offo!

Should I chase it away?"

"Offo!

Or should I hold it in embrace?"

"Should I wield

it like I'm proud?"

"Or slap it away?

Offo!"

"Offo!"

"Offo!"

"Offo!"

I just hope to make

some good money...

And then writing?

I don't know what I'll write,

though...

Write your tragic

love story with Rashmi!

Not cool, Ananya...

We agreed not to talk about it.

I'm serious!

Tragedy's the new cool!

The critics will be happy!

Krish...

Hmm.

I love you.

What's gotten into you?

Nothing...

I've been thinking about it...

so I said it.

Krish...

are you asleep?

No... say.

Placements start in 10 days...

Superb, isn't it?

You'll get a great job.

Forget the job, Krish...

In 4 weeks we'll

be in different cities.

So what? I'll just

find a job wherever you are.

That's not in

our control, Krish!

Why are you worried?

We'll see where fate takes us...

No!

The issue is, where do YOU want...

to take this relationship?

Let's not have this

conversation now. Please, come.

If not now, then when, Krish?

Ananya...

I'm not saying no...

I just need some time.

Weren't 2 years enough, Krish?

This is what's

great about you guys.

It takes you no time

tojump into bed...

but when it comes to commitment,

you need time to think!

Ananya!

Final question...
