Dus Kahaniyaan Page #5

I prepared it myself.

Even after staying in

Mumbai for so long..

..why can't you speak Hindi.

You are impossible.

You are impossible.

All because of your

north lndian father.

But grandma..

- Okay. goodbye, I am going.

I am getting late.

O God, I have to reach

the station quickly.

What did I forget?

Will you go to Bandra station?

Bandra station.

Come, sit.

O god. Lord.

Aunt, why did you needlessly

wake me up?

First that taxi will leave,

there is a queue.

I will go only in this taxi.

Mother, there is neither A/C

nor music in this taxi.

Then why?

Because the Lord is

there in your taxi.

Lord.

You will have to wait

for the Lord, aunt.

First that taxi will leave,

and then I will leave.

Okay, okay I will wait.

Then wait.

Come on, quickly take your taxi out.

Sir, only two minutes.

Aunt, 160 rupees.

Aunt, hurry up or else

he will fine me.

I am giving it.

My purse.

My purse fell in the taxi.

Did you find it?

- No!

O God, seems like l

forgot it at home!

I thought there was something wrong.

That's why you sat in my taxi.

No, no I will give you

your money, at home.

But I will miss my train.

Look, I will return and give you

your money at the taxi stand.

Sorry, sorry.

- I am leaving.

Allah, what type of a first

fare did you give me?

What type of a Hindu are you?

You are a Hindu, and you

take the name of Allah.

The owner of the car

is a Hindu, not me.

Let me go, don't waste my time.

Take your taxi out. Come on.

Hey, wait there.

Leave!

I am sorry.

- What are you doing?

I am sorry, I am very sorry.

- Can't you see?

Don't touch it! Don't touch it!

I said, don't touch it!

Don't you hear?

- I am..

I don't want it, take it.

I missed my train.

When is the next train to Pune?

The next train to Pune

is 2 hours later.

Snacks and coffee! 8 rupees.

Cater to the customer.

Idli and sambar is Rs.6.

What happened?

What did you have?

Rice puffs.

- That's exact, go.

Tell me, mother.

- Just a minute.

Cater to the customer.

One rice plate.

There is such a demand for change.

Where did you bring

this treasure from?

Give this for rice plate, okay?

Here is the rice plate.

Sit there.

Rice plate!

Clean the number 2 table.

Rice plate.

Hey!

You!

What are you doing?

Get up!

This is my food, you cannot eat it!

Are you deaf?

I bought this rice plate, ask him!

Look, I will complain

with the police.

You stole my plate.

I have diabetes.

I don't have anymore money!

What will I eat now?

Except for my brains, you

can eat whatever you want.

Leave it!

Are you content?

Have coffee, without sugar.

I don't want to disrupt my religion

drinking your coffee..

Oh Lord!

My bag!

My luggage!

I had kept my luggage here,

it is not there now!

Where did it go?

Mother, I don't have time to

look after my own luggage.

I had kept it right here,

under there.

Where did that Muslim,

with the cap go?

I don't know, take a look there.

It was him.

O God.

Mother.

I had kept my luggage here,

did you see it?

One minute.

"Why distinguish between

black and white?"

"Why distinguish between

black and white?"

'This is my food,

you cannot eat it!'

'I'll give a police complaint.'

"Why distinguish between

black and white?"

'Have coffee, without sugar.'

'l don't want to disrupt my

religion drinking your coffee..'

Excuse me, can we sit here?

"lf you don't understand,

then why to cry.."

"Why distinguish between

black and white?"

"Why distinguish between

black and white?"

Don't push it with your leg!

It's got food in it!

The food's in the tiffin and

the tiffin's in the bag!

Nothing's going to happen

if my leg touches it.

Now will you keep your book

aside for 2 minutes?

Tell me, what are you making?

Look! These are 2 bedrooms.

And the hall. - Hang on!

This is one bedroom. And

this will be my library.

And this will be the hall.

- No!

Bedroom will remain a bedroom!

Guest bedroom!

Now, how many guests do you think..

..will be coming to our house?

Even if a guest does come

in an month or an year.

Then it's fine.

No need to keep a room exclusively

for the guests.

Look, changing the bed

sheet every week.

Changing the pillow case.

And cleaning the place.

So much of hassles!

- And what is this?

If you want to read the newspaper,

then go to the library!

If you want to read the book,

then go to the library!

It's like living in some hostel!

Can't you read the book

in the hall? - Simran!

And.. and when my

mom will visit us..

..will she sleep in the hall?

When your mother visits,

I'll sleep in the hall.

She will sleep in your

room. Is that fine?

Why will I sleep with

her? Am I a child?

Stop it, Dev! It contains food!

You are pushing it again & again!

Ok. Lets do one thing! I will lift

the basket and place it on my head!

After all, it's your

mother has cooked it!

Simran..

Simran, what are you doing?

Is it someone's birthday?

You must be taking it for your kids.

It's for my wife.

She likes.. balloons?

- A lot.

I am taking it to appease her.

Is she upset with you?

- Yes!

Why? I mean.. if its

not too private.

Just like that. She gets angry

on every trivial matter.

When I get angry, it's very

easy for her to please me.

She cooks my favorite sweet.

And keeps a card with it. "Sorry".

When she gets upset, I have

to buy balloons. Eleven!

And with it a card.. saying "sorry".

But these seem to be lot more.

Yes. I always buy extra.

By the time I reach home,

Last time, I had less than 1 1 left,

so she had sent me back.

Your punishment is very easy.

Only 1 1 balloons.

No, it's not easy.

I have to buy these laughing

balloons from a far-off town!

I have to travel to and fro by bus.

Why did she fight with you?

Just like that!

The way you both had..

About a bedroom.

It happens.

It has been happening with

us for the past 35 years.

We've been fighting over the color

of commode! Now, you tell me..

The whole day it will

remain out of sight.

It will remain locked in the room.

It's not something to be placed

in the living room, is it?

And why we use it.. has nothing

to do with colours.

Whether it is good or not. Whether

it is white or black.

But she was adamant.

- Then what happened?

What else? I had to buy balloons.

She didn't talk to me for 2 days.

We had just married.

You've been buying balloons

since then?

Yes! We had agreed

on this even then.

No matter who gets upset..

..this will be the only

way to make good.

God is great! We've never

had any serious issues.

Just these trivial matters.

In retrospect, In our 35 years..

..we almost spent 8-9

years just fighting.

Many a times we argued

on matters like..

I said that I will sleep on

the left side of the bed.

So that she will be

on the right side.

She insisted! No! She will

sleep on the left side!

Because the bathroom door

is towards that side!

I was used to sleeping

on my left side.

It's my habit since hostel

times. What could I do?
