Shall I put on some music?

Please

I've heard enough for a lifetime

So still suffering silently?

Or did you say it?

I yelled it

So he ran away?

No, he was very sweet actually

He stopped playing the song,

which he had composed for me...

and began asking about me

I felt guilty at first but...

Why are romantic

relationships so irritating?

With friends,

it's all so easy, it just flows...

you don't need to make such an effort

Who are the 5 people closest to you?

Your top 5?

Why?

There is an important study...

based on the size

of the human brain...

that shows that everyone has about

150 people in their whole universe

The next cut is the 50 who

you would invite home for dinner...

then 15 who you turn to

in times of need for comfort...

and the final cut is of 5

people who are your whole world...

your inner circle

Who are your 5?

Fatty, Kiddo, Jackie, Alka...

Raghuvendra, no

And I forgot to add...

these 5 people can

also change with time

That's true but these 4

people will always be on the list

Okay, so think of these 4 and tell me

How do you feel when

you are with them...

as compared to the changing 5th?

How, how do these

4 people make you feel?

Special, I feel special I feel...

important, I feel respected...

I feel happy and safe

So you don't feel safe

with your boyfriends?

No...

I feel safe but...

I don't know it's not that

With my friends...

I feel free, I feel like myself

Why safe?

When you start liking a guy...

What is your fear Kaira?

It's back in one piece

I believe broken things

can be put back together

How is the 'Brain Doctor' going?

Is he married or single?

Didi...

Hi Alka!

Look there

Didi...

how are you?

Rubbish

Why did you go to the doctor?

Are you okay?

I went to a 'Brain Doctor'

What happened to your brain?

Nothing, if you have an

emotional problem in your life...

a 'Brain Doctor' can help you solve it

Do such doctors exist?

Then everyone should go to them

Yes everyone should

I agree,

you're the most beautiful of all

agree, you find

a place in every heart

Yes, you're a dream,

your every move a charm

But, you're not one

to be wooed by praise...

Don't stop!

Come on, play the music

Heart...be silent

Don? beat so loud

Let her not see

you suffer

You will smile now at my state

But, you're not one

to be wooed by praise

Should I whisper in your ears

Or scream from mountain tops

It was good fun

We danced to Honey Singh

songs all night

What's happening?

Fatty!

I called you, why didn't you answer?

Hi Koks

Why are you both grinning like that?

Jackie is just telling

me about her new boyfriend

What?

Hello?

What new boyfriend?

How about telling me...

I'm right here, am I invisible?

You didn't even ask

Why do I have to ask?

Okay guys relax

How can you not tell me?

I know why, because it's

that weird guy at the bar right'?

See this is what you do

You're always judging my men

I'm not judging,

you called him weird yourself

That was then, now I like him

But you didn't tell

me that you like him

Because you never asked,

you're not around

How am I supposed to

know if you don't tell me?

You keep doing this

and blame me for everything

I am around!

Fatty where are you?

Great you also leave me

Good morning!

Good morning Jackie Chan

Anything special today?

Yes

Yo u

You're so special

Okay, I'm special

So you fix cycles too'?

I try

And if I can't fix them,

I recycle them

Recycle a cycle?

Kaira, you have to

crack better jokes please

So all that cycle

art in your room and...

Hey, hi by the way!

This boy was wearing those funky

looking glasses, you made all that?

Finally! You noticed

He's an artist

If you can't fix people

do you recycle them too'?

Bye Jug

Sorry about it

That's so mean

Yeah that's so mean, let's go

Why cycle today?

Just breaking the pattern

Yes, should break it

You must be going insane

listening to crazy people like me...

all day inside one room

Quite possible

Albert Einstein once said...

"An insane person is one who does

the same thing over and over again...

and expects different

results each time"

By the way, Rumi, it's over...

Why?

Can't do it...

it's too much

He doesn't fit in my...

I don't know...

I can't handle it it's too much

What's too much?

Too much

Wait wait, Lance Armstrong

Did Rumi do something wrong?

No we were just wrong

for each other...

Not this chair

Shiver! Only happens

when we feel cold...

or have a fever, or due to weather...

or sometimes people shiver

when they are scared...

I just want to be free...

free from all this

I also want you to be free...

free from your fears

Free!

Oh wow

Help me

Damn, our time's up

What?

Got to go! Sorry

Jug!

Get my glasses please

My darling boy, all good?

Yes all good

Kiddo! Spend some time with me now,

not fair...

Sorry, I was getting ready...

you know it's my party,

I have to look nice

You look nice

So are you part of this matchmaking?

Me?

Yes you

I have no clue but

I want to see the fun

Sweet boy Kiddo

And you,

is your best friend Jackie here?

Is she still single or...

Yes, she's still very

much single and so is Kaira

Please stop, it's starting to hurt

Kaira, come

I want to introduce

you to a young man

This is my niece, Kaira

Hi Kaira, Suresh

Suresh

Pleasure

Well I'll see you'll later then

Alright, cheers

Cheers

So you're a photographer right?

Cinematographer actually

One and the same thing

No, it's not the same thing

It's not?

- No

Okay'!

What do you do?

I'm a techie...

does that sound boring?

Fun

It's fun, then cheers

So, why should I be interested in you?

That was pretty direct right?

I can be interesting

if I meet an interesting girl...

it depends

Okay'!

See Kiddo, your favourite food

Thank you

What a sweet child Kiddo was,

never used to cry

Never left my side, always 'Mama Mama'

Well I figured 'Mama Mama'...

was a better way to get

what I wanted than to cry

How fast these kids grow up

I know

Look at Kiddo, he has achieved

so much at a young age

He has got a scholarship

for a higher degree...

then an internship with a big firm...

tell them the name

of the company, Kiddo

Dad, just stop it now

You will definitely be successful

You are doing the correct thing

You're not eating anything...

are you dieting again?

I don't feel like

Eat something

Fine, give it to me

Here have this

You remember Chanda,

Kiddo was such a gentle, quiet boy...

but Kaira, a real firecracker...

she's still the same

Firecracker yes,

you're absolutely right...

anger, tantrums and sulking,

most of all with me

You kids have no idea how

tough it is to be a parent...

and it's never ending

Once a parent always a parent

I agree

No holiday from this job, right Ashu?

All parents should be awarded

a President's Award

Huh?

I love the food

So end it then

Just end it

What?

The job of being a parent, just end it

You keep going on and on about

how 'tough' it is, so just end it
