but just as two regular people...

who make mistakes, like everyone else

As a child it is hard

to understand all this...

but now, as an adult...

you can at least try

Don't let the past blackmail your

present to ruin a beautiful future

When something touches your heart

Say hi to it...

When your heart is not in it

Say bye to it...

Let it come, let it come

Let it come into your heart

Say hi to happiness

Let it go, let it go

Let it go from your heart

Say bye bye to unhappiness...

Love you life

Love you life

Love me life

Koko, I'm sorry

I'm sorry

Hello?

Hi Ma'am, I am calling from eBay,

are you happy with our services?

Yes why?

Please do continue shopping with us

Thank you

Sometimes hold my hand,

and walk with me

Sometimes leave my hand,

and let me go free

I 'm a little moody

You're a little crazy

What a pair we are

Let it come, let it come

Let it come into your heart

Say hi to happiness...

Let it go, let it go

Let it go from your heart

Say bye bye to unhappiness...

Love you life

Love me life

You are different...

you listen to me, you really listen

I wish I had someone

like you in my life...

Am I making sense?

Not at all,

but that will be 3000 rupees please

Where were you?

Just disappeared

I have to give proper

notice if I miss a session...

and you left me with one small note

'Sorry'... that's not fair

I know, life is unfair

Fine

Hide all your secrets

You know...

my issues with my

parents may get sorted...

but with men!

I am never going to find anyone

Tell me something

ls there such a thing

as a perfect relationship?

Like just one special relationship?

Kaira I think...

why just that one

special relationship?

I think one can have

many relationships in life...

different relationships

for different experiences...

like a musical relationship...

someone who shares

our interest in music...

or the lets-get-coffee-together

relationship...

perfect to have coffee with...

but not anything else...

Special gossip relationship...

with whom you can

have the perfect gossip

Or the special

intellectual relationship...

for all those perfect

bookish discussions...

So many different,

special relationships...

The romantic relationship

is just one of many

To expect a single relationship

to take on the burden of every need...

a bit unfair, right?

Never thought of it this way

I'm glad the camera is back

Me too

Jug, do you want to get

a cup of coffee or something?

No, our time's up

You won't bunk the next session right'?

It is the last week of our sessions...

how can I miss that?

So, done sulking with Goa?

No more sulking

What about your work?

Actually I got an offer

What?

A production company is interested

in funding my short film...

so I am thinking,

why not stay back here and shoot it

Since it's the final class,

have I passed?

This isn't school, to pass or fail

I wish there were teachers

like you in school

I'm no teacher

Okay not teacher but...

you know what I mean

We are all our own teachers

in the school of life

Okay, that got a bit heavy

Life is like a jigsaw puzzle

People like me can help

you find the missing pieces...

and put them back together...

but, only you can complete the puzzle

So now that this is over...

can we meet outside of this...

just as friends or something?

No this is not possible Kaira

And what if I tell you...

that I like you...

In fact...

Go on, I'm listening

In fact I really like you

That's it, said it

I really like you too

I really like you

I respect your feelings...

but my job here is done for now

As unconventional and friendly

as my methods may be...

I am still your therapist...

any other 'friendship' would be outside

the realm of my own professional ethics

The closeness that you may feel to me,

your 'BD'...

is very normal

This happens, it's common

So I'm common?

No, you are not common

You are different, special...

you are unique

You know Kaira

People feel all sorts

of strong emotions in here...

anger, hate, love

I shouldn't have said anything

No, you should have

It's really good

you said what you said

You expressed your

difficult feelings...

in a straightforward

and mature manner...

rather than letting them fester...

inside of you...

and we don't want that...

No

This Kaira, is huge progress

Okay but, tell me one thing

How can this be the last session?

No no...

No more stories?

So many new problems I will have...

Yes there will be many problems...

but now you know how to solve them

But I'll need help

I need you

Kaira...

when you see a pattern

emerging in life...

a habit,

then it's time to think about it

Genius is about knowing when to stop

Okay then

Baby Fatima, can't believe it

This is your godmother, Kokomaa

Battle after battle

Corporal Balthazar fought

in the Portuguese army for 14 years

Nobody knew that Corporal

Balthazar was not Balthazar...

but Dona Maria, a woman...

disguised as a man

This was the only way for a woman

to safeguard her life and dignity

For 14 years Dona Maria

fought two battles...

one on the battlefield,

and the other with herself...

with her fears

Finally, one day on the battlefield,

her true identity was revealed

As fate would have it...

in front of Captain Aphonso...

Captain Aphonso...

Commander of the fort and a doctor...

not only saved Dona Maria's life...

and nursed her wounds...

but made her fears disappear...

and freed her from the

ghost of Corporal Balthazar

For the first time...

Dona Maria had the courage

to face her true self

Finally she felt free, she felt alive

With her new found courage,

Dona Maria soon became Commander...

the first woman Commander

of the Portuguese army...

Now, Donna Maria fought

only one battle...

the one on the battlefield

Speech! Speech!

No speech, just shut up!

It was beautiful my darling

So proud of you

Beautiful film

Really?

Very impressed

People who make music with

the camera don't need musicians

I wrote a song for you,

want to listen?

Just kidding

I'm proud of you

You gave Kaira her first break right?

Yes

She could not have

done this without you

Actually if I was with her,

she couldn't have done this

Cheers!

To the longest project

of this century!

Cheers to my baby

Hi!

Hi!

I was wondering...

Yes please tell me,

what were you wondering?

Would you be able to

live as a man for a few years?

Huh?

It's a really interesting concept,

your story

How did you come up with the idea?

What's your story?

Do you make films too?

No, I make furniture...

tables, sofas, chairs

Chairs?

Like Kursi chairs?

Chairs like Kursi

Kursi like chairs

Dear life,

I know we haven't been

in touch for a while...

So nothing

Just wanted to say hi

Kabaddi kabaddi. ..
