ln the heart of London,

l've kept lndia alive!

Still staring? Lajjo, your daughter's

wedding! Celebrate it with sweets

Chutki! l'm so happy today

Can l say one thing?

. Say fourthings

lt'd be betterto ask Simran once.

. What are you saying?

Ever since she was a baby, she has

known that she is engaged to kuljit

That she knows. But 20 years...

. Don't you worry!

Simran is going to be so happy,...

you'll pray that she never

gets the evil eye!

l'll write to Ajit right away.

God! At last, comes the day

Simran, what are you doing?

l had forgotten, Ma. l haven't

even the right to dream

No my child, of course

you may dream

But don't expect them

to come true

And who know, kuljit might be

the man of your dreams

l don't care.

l've bought yourtickets.

You're coming to Europe with me

. l can't

Babuji won't let me go to college

alone. Will he let me go away...

touring Europe for a month?

l have lots of work here.

. You've known me for years

Can't you make up an excuse?

An excuse, l can find. But l don't

feel like lying to Babuji

You must come. Dolly and Payal

are coming too

Let me talk to Ma tonight

Europe?

. Yes

With friends?

. Yes

For a month?

. Yes

Chutki, call the doctor. Tell him

that our Simran has gone stark mad

Will you at least take a look?

. Check out your brains first

You talk of travelling by Eurail?

lf he hears, he'll bring the roof down

A lone girl mustn't travel like this.

. Mom, l'm not going to be alone

My friends are going to be with me.

. No good arguing with me

l'm not going to object. But you

will need his permission

Ask him when he's home

God, please keep Babuji

in a nice mood

lt's just beer. lt's overthere.

. l told you. The store is shut

Get out

Got the beer?

. Didn't find any

Can't even do such a simple job?

. That was an angry man

l'll get it.

. You won't

Can l have an Aspirin?

. The store is shut

My head is about to crack up!

lt's sinusitis

lf l can't find an Aspirin,

l'll faint.

All the other stores are shut

Please let me have one Aspirin. One

Hindustani ought to help another

Glory to The Goddess.

. Here you are

l'm feeling bad about forcing you to

open your store for a small medicine

l'd like to buy some otherthings

from you

l'll pick up some beer.

Not for myself.

My friends out there, they drink

Put it down.

. Why sir?

Are you trying to con me? You aren't

getting anything. Put it down

You're getting worked up

over nothing. This is for your profit

Will you put it down?

. Not that umbrella

Here you are. A pound eXTra?

No two. keep it, okay?

Shameless!

You call yourself a Hindustani?

You give lndia a bad name

You're a liar and insolent!

Get out of here

l'm off. l'll keep this

rev up!

Babuji

What is the matter? You're late.

. Bloody shameless scoundrel

They call themselves Hindustani! Blot

on lndia! Ought to drown themselves

rascals! No shame, no decency.

How to respect their elders...

they don't even know.

. Have you had a fight?

Scum! He came for beer. l told him

the store is shut. He took it perforce

He even broke the statue of

The Goddess! Bloody half.caste!

l say Lajjo, thank God that

you and your daughters...

haven't been marred

by this Britishness!

Else, you would've been nowhere!

Damn these scoundrels!

Set sail in stormy waters, and

you're in danger of sinking

You were so little when we brought

you here. And now...

They said that a grown.up daughter

is a burden on a man

But a daughter like you, makes

a father's chest swell with pride!

You're my good girl

Will you give something if l ask you?

. Whatever you wish

l want to take a look at Europe

Eurail is offering a month's tour.

All my friends are going

Please don't be cross. l have

never disobeyed you, Babuji

l'll be going away to a land

l have never seen

The man l'm going to marry

is a complete stranger. But...

l have no complaints. You must've

considered it in my best interests

But l won't get a chance

like this ever again.

l don't even know whether

l'll ever come back,...

whether l will have

these friends later on

Besides, it's only for a month. ln

a month, l will have lived a lifetime

Forthe sake of my happiness, won't

you let me have a month of my life?

Please Babuji, give me one month

Go. Live it up

My baby

Where's Simran?

Where might she be?

. Has she slipped in the loo?

l told you to wake up raj

Did you?

No

Open sesame

Do you have the keys to this?

Anybody home?

No one at home

Haven't l seen you somewhere?

At robbie's party, no?

l don't go to parties.

. Great! Nor do l, ever

Your eyes...

What's wrong with my eyes?

. Of whom?

My grandmother. Like you, her eyes

too had hues of yellows and blues

These girls! l just managed

to come out unscathed

What's that?
