Instead he teased me.

He must meet with an accident

without getting hurt.

Did anyone see the jar?

You give it to others.

Wow! God offerings.

Give it to me.

I'll eat everything.

Will you alone eat this?

- Is it yours?

You tell him...

siddhu, you tell him.

You shouldn't eat everything.

It's not right.

You missed her?

What now?

You friends are there for me to find her.

- You...!

That's her house.

We searched nook & corner

to find her house.

When will she come?

How many times will you put

that question to us,

like ganguly waiting for a place

in the indian cricket team.

She will come.

But when?

Wonder how many are there in her house.

She needs time to get ready.

She's a girl and she must do

all the household work.

I'm exhausted doing all

the household work.

Her dress, college bag is ready.

Before she finishes her bath...

did you again bath in cold water?

Calls himself a boxer!

But shouts when hot water falls on him.

Comment about me but not my boxing.

You don't understand things

that you don't know.

I can understand anything.

Look at my medals, trophies

and my well built body.

Took a couple of photos wearing shots,

produced a few fake certificates

and got a job in the temple.

How did they offerjob to a drunkard?

Which one is good?

Green.

Then, why did you ask my suggestion?

I'm coming.

Are you mr. Kanaka rao?

- Yes.

The auspicious hour is on

friday at 10 am. - Is it?

Can we have the bride seeing

ceremony on that day?

Bride seeing ceremony?

Didn't hasini tell you about this?

Hasini...

have you arranged the bride seeing

ceremony by yourself?

It's for you & not for me.

Me?

My mathematics lecturer.

Her husband is dead just like my mother.

If you both get married, i'll be happy

both at home & in college.

You are talking to much.

I'm going to college.

That window will not open.

I've nailed it.

Why did you do that?

You see through the window

till i catch the bus.

If someone ogles at me,

you pick up fight with him.

I'm fed up with you.

You are still a little girl.

I do all that for your safety.

I'm not a little girl.

It's called suspicion & not safety.

I doubt the boys not you.

These boys are...

why did you stop? Go ahead.

I shouldn't say bad words infront

of my daughter. Go.

These boys give you love letters

and later...

what?

Why didn't you come out to play cricket?

- We have exams today.

Write your exams well.

Don't you recognise me?

Oh you! What is it?

We met in the temple the other day.

We didn't talk much on that day.

- So what?

If possible, we can talk,

and if you agree for a cup of coffee.

We can discuss about anything.

What happened?

- Leave it.

What happened?

Leave it i say.

- Tell me what happened.

She called me idiot.

Called you an idiot?

It is you who shout at girls.

How could she call you an idiot?

- That's our college bus. Let's go.

How many times to tell you?

Why are you after me?

Won't you listen to me?

Though uninterested in studies,

he still teaches us. I'm just like him.

You were after her.

She abused you.

Why drag me into this now?

Is this how all students behave?

You all are not students.

Students of 2001 batch were the best.

There was a boy named siddhu.

He respects lecturers.

He was very studious.

He disliked girls.

He hated love.

He was a perfect student.

I can still remember his face.

Hi mr. Lucky!

Who called me?

- Over here.

Hi siddhu! When did you come?

I was just talking about you.

What brought you here? Any doubts?

Yes sir.

I saw a girl in a blue dress

coming this way.

Stop laughing.

It must be about some books.

No sir.

I invited her for a coffee.

She chided me.

What's up? What did you call me?

Idiot?

I met you in the temple.

So, i wanted to meet you again.

Will you conclude that

i'm trying to ogle at you?

I'm not like that.

I'm from this college.

Inquire about me.

Just because we met in the temple,

doesn't mean you can come to

my house & invite me for a coffee.

What if my father had seen you?

Do you have a father?

What question is that?

Actually...

everything is fine with boys.

But girls have many problems.

Sorry.

Is that it?

What else do you want?

If possible, we can talk,

and if you agree for a cup of coffee.

How did i agree for coffee without

knowing much about you?

How did you agree?

To decide about your character.

Where shall we go?

Minerva.

Where is it?

- Secunderabad.

Secunderabad...?

Oh my god! There is no driver.

Come & sit.

I missed it again.

Come & sit.

What is your name?

What do you do?

I haven't told my name yet.

Tell me.

- Siddhu.

Nice name.

Ask me my name?

What is your name?

Ha... ha... hasini.

Nice name, ah?

How old are you?

Then, why are you wearing such a shirt?

What?

- It's not nice.

You look aged.

Don't i?

- Don't i!

You wanted to talk before having coffee.

Will you talk & shall i?

- Okay. I will talk.

I will tell you a joke.

It didn't die because the ant

was wearing a helmet.

The joke is over.

Shall we get down from the running bus?

Come. Get down.

It's alright. Jump.

Siddhu, minerva is on this side.

Here? - You want to have

a good coffee, don't you?

Sultan bhai...

- hasini dear, i'm coming.

You must come here to have good coffee.

Didn't i tell you that dravid will

score 100 against pakistan?

He is bhai.

- Greetings.

Who is he?

- My guest.

- Special. Clean the cups. - okay.

You say something...

since we said at the same time,

we'll have guests at home.

Do you believe in these

horns & guests' things?

They are nice.

Where do you learn all such things?

From my neighbourhood children.

Children?

- Yes.

Hot coffee.

How are you chiru?

- Superb.

Have you decided about my character?

Idiot.

What else did she say?

She called me an idiot.

Again?

She only called me an idiot.

Just sit down.

Are you serious?

I don't know what it is.

For time being, i'm an idiot.

That's all.

I drea.m.

When lovers said that they dream

with their eyes wide open...

i thought they were mad...

but now...

when lovers say that they

could see moon in the day...

i thought they were crazy...

but now...

shahjahan built taj mahal for his love.

I thought he was brainsick...

when people said that there is

nothing greater than love...

i thought they were cheating...

many things have changed

in a short span of time...

even i got drenched

in this love rain...

i drea.m.

When someone said that he had lived

all his life in her memories...

and conquered heaven,

i yelled at him...

but now...

when i was told that salary isn't enough

to buy her greeting cards & pay phone bills...

i laughed at them...

but now...

when people write in the air...

i thought they were sick...

when people stammer often...

i thought it was a hangover...

today i found that it was love...

even i got drenched

in this love rain...

i drea.m.

What starts in eyes & roots in heart

and makes you go wild...

but i didn't believe.

But now...
