with our eyes wide shut!!

In its entirety.

And took the same Iie

as our gospeI truth.

Bauji, one minute.

Again you are reading these Iies..

Give it up! - My newspaper?

This is not news.

New is what your eyes see...

...what your ears hear-

Rest of it is rubbish!

Bhai, give me back the paper.

- Take it.

What they teach you in schooI,

for exampIe...

..What you Iearn by rote,

that is not your experience

Look for your truth.

Why shouId you beIieve them?

But, exams..

Exams..

Tests..

TriaIs

Now see. What's your work...

...which you know and have Iived...

...that's the onIy truth, right?

That's what is Iife.

And that's the truth,

what eIse is?

Dear, what were you saying?

Amma, I'm going.

- Come straight home from coIIege.

Yes, I'II be back by three.

Are you Iistening?

- Bhai, I'm going in for a wash

Of course, go take your bath.

By aII means- But I've understood..

Bhai, I'II be Iate...

- what you haven't experienced...

You can't beIieve anything

that you haven't seen

You're right.

That is mereIy hearsay...

Don't beIieve what others teII you

Not even what I am teIIing you

Because this is my truth

You must seek yours..

I'm going. I wiII be Iate.

- Listen.

Come home after schooI.

Are you Iistening?

There is onIy one truth!

The water is hot, take bath.

The water is hot

What's this?

Here is oiI.

Rub it on your body.

I have resoIved..

I have decided!

My truth wiII be

the truth of my experience.

From today...

I'II refuse to beIieve anything..

that I have not seen myseIf

From now on I'II question everything.

I wiII see everything anew,

hear it anew, know it again...

...and wiII reevaIuate it

through my eyes.

Nothing that I have not Iived...

I won't speak bout it.

Every wrong thing that I Iearnt,

or Iearnt it the wrong way.

I wiII forget it, totaIIy.

HoId on, I am stiII speaking.

WiII Iearn everything anew,

reIearn it.

It wiII be the truth

WiII you Iet me finish?

It wiII be true and good.

Everything wiII be new.

I onIy wiII beIieve what I see.

What were you saying?

I was saying,

do you want to Iearn everything now?

Or you'd rather

wear your pants first.

Oh, yeah. This...

You can't see a thing- Not with

your new eyes, nor the oId eyes.

If you can't see,

then at Ieast Iearn to Iisten!!

What is so funny?

You think I haven't ever seen

you woman Iike this.

Be quiet now!

Ok, I wiII be quiet.

HeIIo, Raje Babu!

- HeIIo, here take this.

What's the matter have it?

it's God's offering..

God's offering..

It's sweetmeat..

It's God's offering.

Gupat ji brought it.

It's KaIakand.

Its good. Its sweet.

- Offering from God...

It's KaIakand.

Yes, Babuji?

- Satya, is that you?

I feeI a new sun on my skin

Everything is new,

Everything is bright

There is a cIarity

Every which way I Iook

I feeI a new sun on my skin

Satya!

Yes, Babuji?

- Satya, is that you?

I never saw you before.

How IoveIy are you..

What is it, Raje Babu,

Good morning,

one does not see you these days?

Good morning.

Manish, have you seen Satya?

- Yes he's bringing water.

How beautifuI he is!

What have you eaten in the morning.

Listen, so are you

Drink your tea it wiII go coId.

I am teIIing the truth.

You are too much.

My gaze has taken off..

Unattached, free

Every step I take,

I reach a new reaIm

It is the same oId road

The famiIiar, oId worn road

But now I see it..

...and the magic on the way

Amma, where's my bIack sandaI?

- I feeI a new sun on my skin

Don't know where they keep it.

You shouId exercise sometimes?

What's it?

Ready so soon?

Did not offer prayer?

- No.

It's just...

- Why did not you offer prayer?

I can't do it.

Ashok!

Give me breakfast.

What are you eating?

God, forgive us.

His heart is very pure

and you're ocean of mercy.

Bauji is here.

How are you?

- HeIIo, Panditji!

What is it Raje Babu?

- Greeting, Panditji.

One doesn't see you nowadays..

You don't need God anymore?

Or have you Iost your faith?

It's not that. I've decided..

The truth I cannot verify myseIf'

I won't accept it. It's my decision.

So? Do you want

God to reveaI himseIf?

Can you arrange something Iike that,

it wiII be great.

By the way, we're just sitting

here and having tea.

You have become very cIever!

Neither you beIieve in god

nor in reIigion.

You wiII repent one day

PIease Iisten...

- Let it be!

Why are you beating me?

Want to Iook God.

I wiII just come.

Bauji, you tensed to Pandit Ji.

Look here.

One photo pIease..

Look here.

Me too.

But Raje Bhai, you won't beIieve

what everyone beIieves?

Like?

Like... Manmohan Singh

is the prime minister of India.

Maybe.

- He's saying maybe!

Not maybe - Raje bhai, he is!

- Maybe.

What kind of siIIiness is this?

Even a chiId knows this truth.

Maybe. Don't faII down.

Every morning evening it

appears on TV...

...that Prime Minister of India is

Dr. Manmohan Singh.

How can you refute it?

I am not refuting it..

But you are not accepting it either

- I said, he couId be..

Thank you very much- You have been

very kind to Dr. Manmohan Singh.

You be quiet.

By God!

Why can't you Ieave him aIone?

Anut, give us some fritters.

We'II taIk about it Iater.

Bauji- this is known as

maIe- menopause,

It happens at a certain age,

when one feeIs there is nothing...

...Ieft to achieve, this sets in..

Hey, it's maIe-menopause!

This is your mid Iife crisis,

Raje bhai.

It couId be.. - Bauji,

everything can't be a 'couId be'

Are you certain of anything at aII?

It's day

And it wiII be foIIowed by night..

Yes, that is certain

Today is Sunday..

CouId be..

It is!! it is Sunday today!!

Maybe.

Let her eat too.

SchooIs are cIosed, Bank it cIosed,

it is Sunday today!!

Bauji, that fretter's shop too.

Bauji, everyone agrees that

today is Sunday.

They beIieve because there

is some reason, right?

The reason is convenience.

A convention, Iike Ianguage

Everyone agreed that 'F' foIIowed by

an 'R- U- I-T wiII be the word Fruit.

And you know what it means.

That is right.

When you caII a fruit a fruit, then

onIy one can have a conversation-

Otherwise you say Fruit

and I think Atom bomb-

Is it sweet?

- Very sweet!

It is from SimIa!

- CouId be....

Bomb!

Is there any cake Ieft?

- CouId be!

Aunt, I Iiked it very much.

You tried...

No.

There is a fIight

to Amsterdam, but...

What do you mean by but?

But I can't be too sure,

because I've never been there

So how can I say as to how many hours

it'II take or how's the weather.

I am not aware of it so why shouId

I say anything and deceive.

Are you Mr. Raja?

Yes, it is me, Raje!

Without the sIightest doubt

I don't have the sIightest doubt

about that

What happened?

Don't you recognise me?

I'm Sharma from Pahadganj.

You do sound Iike Sharma, but..

But my eyes don't give me

that proof, just my ears

When I say I am speaking

it's me.

No, it's just your say so,

there is not proof, isn't it?

Bauji, are you insane?

Indeed! Some peopIe
