and read it to him

He loved hearing the story in my voice

Even today, he says it's

his best childhood memory

And your best childhood memory?

Come on, there must be something...

I don't know

What are your favourite childhood

memories?

My dad used to bring

me here every Sunday...

To play Kabaddi with the sea

Kabaddi with the sea?

Kabaddi kabaddi

Go back!

Just two more

Okay'!

I can do this all day long

It's important that parents create

happy memories for their children

Now I am a parent myself

So I'm hoping...

my son has at least

some happy memories...

to tell his therapist

He stays with his mom

In divorce cases kids

usually end up with the mother

I just regret not being

able to spend enough time with him

I remember Shaira...

my doll

My dad's birthday gift to me

When I used to live with my

grandparents, Shaira was with me

I never played with her,

just kept her close to me

At night,

I would hug her tightly and sleep

You were shy?

Yes

How did you know?

Shaira-Shy... I'm a genius, really

When I was little I was shy...

dad used to call me Kaira-Shaira

But now I'm fully Kaira

Kaira-Shaira, now fully Kaira

Yes

Are you sure?

Come on

Listen tell me...

why did you want me to talk

to Mom and Dad for 10 minutes?

Is there some Chinese

mountain story behind this?

Someday you'll have

to climb Mt. Everest right?

Where is Shaira?

Who Shaira?

My doll!

The one dad gave me

How come you thought

of that doll all of a sudden?

Do you know where she is or not?

She may be in the storeroom...

along with your and Kiddo's old things

What do you mean by maybe?

She must be there somewhere

How will I remember

after all these years?

Do you remember anything

at all about those years?

Taste this Bibik

What is Bibik now?

Bebinca! Kiddo's favourite

No I'm leaving

Pm making coconut laddoos for you...

your favourite...

see I remembered

You just want to make me fat!

Coconut laddoos!

I feel like breaking

a coconut on someone's head

No, no violence, do deep breathing

What memories will

parents leave behind?

When they can't remember

anything themselves?

Let's drink to Shaira, wherever she is

In my street

The moon that appears

That brings Eid with it

is that you?

My mom

Has made me a suit

Has shown me a dream

is it of you?

My heart is destroying

itself for someone

Who is it?

Ifs you

My heart is protecting

itself for someone

Who is it?

Ifs you

Who is that so far away

Who is that so close

Who is that so specie!

Ifs you

The one for whom

I'd break all other hearts

is it you?

The one for whom

Pd go on living

I 'd insure my loving

is it you?

The one who's presence

Makes all come alive

Who is it?

Ifs you

Who is that so far away

Who is that so close

Who is that so specie!

Ifs you

Who is in my verses?

Who is in my poetry?

Who is in my diary?

Ifs you

Hi!

Oh hello...

That was a beautiful song

You have a beautiful voice

You totally rocked it

If your audience is so rocking,

the song has to match up

I'm Jackie, this is Kaira

And you are?

Rumi

Rumi?

Girls night out?

Yes

They are the best nights

Hey, great song bro...

...you killed it!

Did I?

Killed who? We're all alive here

Girls night, don't mind, cheers

What a voice you have,

you should be singing in films

Why only films?

There are all kinds of music...

there is rock, pop, jazz, blues...

do you like blues?

Blues?

You seem more red to me...

What?

Vorresti fuggire con me?

That was Greek to me...

It's Italian actually

Does that mean that I'm

so deadly and gorgeous...

that you can't take your eyes off me?

Not at all

It means that I'm heading to a private

beach with some of my friends...

to play some music

Would you like to run away with me?

Not bad

Somebody seems to be

in a musical mood today

"My heart is destroying itself

for someone, who is it? It's you"

Excuse me?

"Last night! went

out to listen to a band"

Which band was it,

where did you go where did you go?

"The name of the band I don't know

I don't know. ..but singer! know"

So tell me more...

tell me more tell me more

We didn't talk, only music

What to tell?

So what was his name? Banjo?

Or the fellow was called Cello?

Rumi

- Wow!

My new kursi, my new chair

So, comfortable?

What?

New chair, comfortable?

Yes but it's a musical chair...

twenty four hours will

have to listen to music...

how to listen?

Why don't you tell him straight,

that you like dialogue too

How can you tell a musician

to stop the music and talk?

He'll think I'm a musical idiot...

have you ever felt like an idiot?

I've sat through a

three hour Italian Opera...

pretended it touched my heart...

when every minute was torture

I wanted to stand up on the chair

and scream even louder than them...

Pm an opera idiot!

Wow, okay

What would you do if you

were dating an opera singer?

I would say, 'Darling,

I will do anything for you...

but don't make me hear the opera'

Then end of story right?

She would dump you and run

Or after 6 months of suffering,

I would run away

If one is going to suffer,

the other person should at least know

What is the point

of suffering in silence?

See when...

I'm so sorry - It's okay

I will get a new one for you

I'll do it, don't touch it...

I think it's safer to have

our sessions outdoor

Go on, Rumi

I like people who smell nice

I hate smelly people

Really? Why'?

So you like smelly people?

Everyone has a different smell...

that's how people get

attracted to each other

Eeks! Who goes around smelling

people to get attracted?

Dogs

Dogs

Ya dogs!

Ganju, we should record

our conversations...

they're true genius sometimes

Genius!

Yes please

"Genius is not one

who has all the answers...

genius is one who has the

patience to find every answer"

Deep

Which genius said this?

Dr. Jehangir Khan

Khan...khh

So does he smell nice?

Who?

There you go

Wait let it breathe...cheers

Listen to this bit

I love chocolate

Okay this bit

Wait one second

Pink Floyd's first album,

you have to get this

"I agree,

you're the most beautiful of all"

agree,

you find a place in every heart

You like strawberries?

Yes you are a dream

your every move is a charm...

"but, you're not one

to be wooed by praise"

Try some?

Can we just have the music off please!

I'm sorry, I just need some silence

Everything okay'?

I wrote this song for you

But it's okay,

silence is good sometimes...

there is beauty in silence too...

let's be silent

That's not silent

I'm sorry

Okay play your song

No forget my song...

let's talk about you

I want to know everything about you

Come, sit

Tell me about you

What was your first film about?

When did you decide

to be a camerawoman?

What's your journey?

You know, I haven't even

shot a selfie in my life

Isn't that funny?

So tell me...

I want to know about your dreams,

your inspirations, your aspirations...

I want to know everything about you

Huh?

What's going on?
