Sorrow cannot be measured.

Don't mind my words.

- You really are good, Meera.

She is not good. It is so

many days since I ate sweets.

Earlier, we used to eat so many.

Now she says we don't have money.

Even I love sweets.

Come, I'll treat you today.

Let's go!

- No, we cannot go.

Why?

- I'm not permitted.

Whose permission do you

need to take to eat sweets?

Actually... l...

Sometimes, the biggest guard

to stop us is our own fear.

You cannot do everything

that your heart wants.

Why not?

Because living for

yourself is selfish.

And to suppress

your desires is a sin.

Listen to your heart.

Tune yourself to it...

then the joy of life

becomes different.

If faced with a hurdle,

close your eyes and jump.

A jump of honesty.

What if you don't reach across?

If you are honest,

why won't you?

A jump of honesty.

See how simple it is?

Come.

Jump of honesty.

"In the scorching sun,

a soft wind blew"

"I got the support of a friend,

my life poised again"

"Atleast try,

the chains will melt away"

"My tresses flew on the forehead"

"A desire has

awakened in the desert"

"A lamp has lit in a storm today"

"This is perhaps friendship,

or the effect of integrity"

"What do we know what

the future holds for us"

What is the matter?

- Today is Shanker's birthday.

Then why are you sad?

I was dancing in the street.

It is not even two months.

Wonder what is wrong with me.

Nothing is wrong with you.

Look at me. What have you

done that was wrong?

I was dancing.

- So what is wrong in that?

I cannot forget him.

- Who says you are forgetting him?

Just because you feel a little

happy it doesn't mean that.

Widows mourn, they don't dance.

Bear your sorrow the

way your heart tells you...

not the way others tell you.

What society is this that

doesn't let a woman forget her pain?

Instead of healing her

wounds with love...

it keeps reminding

her what she has suffered.

Her clothes, her style of living,

her friends, everything is changed...

so that she is always

reminded of her sorrow.

And men? The moment we turn,

they marry again.

It is very easy for you to say that.

Don't connect the

word 'easy' with me.

I have not got

anything easily in life.

I have learnt to snatch

my right from the world.

Look, even I'm a woman like you.

The only difference is that I have

learnt to take my own decisions.

Whether right or wrong, good or

bad, the decision is mine...

not anybody else's.

Because this life is mine.

And I have the courage to live

my life...

and live the consequence

of my decisions.

Now enough of this nonsense.

Let's celebrate Shanker's birthday.

We'll do what he likes.

Don't sulk. I'm your friend, I can

fight with you, and even appease you.

Let's go.

- Where?

You will tell me that. Come.

Now we will go there.

- Where?

Come!

- Aren't you getting late?

Don't live your life

fearing others.

Learn to accept your decisions.

Listen!

Take us for a ride.

- That will be Rs.20.

Are you mad?

Rs.10?

Are you new? Stupid!

Everyone will fool you.

Don't take a penny less

than Rs.50.

You are my first client. If you say

so, I'll take you for Rs.50. Sit.

I'll get some grams, wait here.

How did you come here?

- I'm a secretive guy.

Why have you come?

- I got tired waiting at home.

When will you tell her?

Soon.

If you don't tell her now,

I'll leave.

Good bye.

Okay, I'll stay if you wish.

But not too long.

You changed your garb,

but can you ride a camel?

Get up... get up... listen!

Get up. They want a ride.

They are good people. They want

to leave. Think of my prestige too.

They are paying Rs.50.

Will the camel not get up?

He's a thoughtful camel. He's

in a dilemma. Just two minutes...

They have to leave.

Enough now! Get up!

How obedient.

I'm enjoying so much after

so many days, thanks to you.

Shanker loved to sit near the river

and watch the setting sun.

When the sun set, and the

moon rose, he would say...

'Meera, one day, you and me will

go on the moon riding a camel"

'Where there will

be just you and me'

'And there will be so much

love as much as there is sand here'

'Where you won't

have to wear this veil'

And he would always say,

if women have to wear a veil...

even men should

carry a similar burden.

Shall I say something?

- What?

When there is talk

of carrying a burden...

have you ever worn a turban?

Shall I say something?

You are a very bad actor.

You will put impostors to shame.

I recognised you

the moment I saw you.

Stop.

- Why? What happened?

Make the camel sit.

- How?

Pull the rope and say 'r... rr'

Sit down, camel.

Sit... sit... he sat down!

Come.

Where are you going?

Why should I turn away?

Even I can dance!

It was fun, wasn't it?

- Yes.

But we are very late,

will there be a problem?

I'll say I was listening to hymns.

The act begins now.

What woman dances with her friends

when her husband's life is at stake?

One who knows what she wants,

and she can do anything to get it.

It is not so simple anymore.

I really like her.

Hiding the fact from her

makes me feel guilty.

I feel like I'm cheating a friend.

You?

Sorry I'm disturbing you

at such a late hour.

It's okay. Come inside.

It's okay.

I have a small favor to ask.

My friend is looking

for her husband.

He may be working in your factory.

Can you find out?

Sure, I'll make inquiries.

Thank you.

Where had you gone?

Don't worry, I'm a man,

I can take care of myself.

Any reason for drinking?

- To gather courage.

I was to say something important.

What?

Stop your nonsense! Fool!

Let's have dinner.

Wait! This answer

was not in my book.

No, you cannot say that. You cannot.

I can say whatever I wish.

- Yes, this is right.

I want to say something more.

I know you are married,

you love your husband.

I respect him. I don't

want anything from you.

I just wanted to express my feelings.

If I have learnt anything

from you...

it is to express your feelings.

Thank you.

- Express your feelings.

And those are, I love you.

Thank you. Shall we dine now?

Wait a minute.

I want to say something important.

I know Zeenat that you...

Did I talk rubbish last night?

- Yes, but sweet rubbish.

I'll have to go, Zeenat.

- I know.

You told me last night.

- But I don't know when I'll return.

I know. What you did for me, I

cannot expect that much from any man.

I saved the honor of my clan.

I feel bad leaving you,

but...

My dear impostor,

I will miss you a lot.

But I have to fight

this battle alone.

Call up Amir's parents,

and tell them I'm fine.

This is their phone number.

- I'll tell them. Take care.

It feels good coming here. These

old mansions have a unique charm.

Why are you rubbing salt

in my wounds?

You misunderstand.

I was going to talk business.

If I had anything else to give,

I'd never give this mansion on rent.

You do have something you can give.

Look, I live here for months.

And truly speaking,

I feel lonely.

And then, a man has his needs.
