Do you know the

cricketer Rahul Dravid?

Rahul Dravid is Rehan's father.

Because Rehan's

father is dead you see,

.. so mom said Rehan

could choose any father.

So Rehan chose Rahul Dravid.

Are you Mr.

Dependiddle like Rahul Dravid?

Can you also be completely

trusted like Rahul Dravid?

That outhouse of

yours is falling apart.

Look, look the dead man is awake.

Don't talk like that.

When the weather is better we'll

get it fixed. It's freezing. - Yes.

Before you thank me.

Come and eat something.

Don't drink so much

you'll become a hittototomas.

Not hittototomas, kid. Hippopotomas.

And where did you learn this word?

From Colonel uncle. Hitto.

Hittototomas.

Hippopotamus.

Would you like something?

I'm sorry I didn't get your name.

Captain Ranjeev!

Indian Army.

I didn't know there were

military operations here.

There are such few of us here.

What will the militants do here?

They can hide.

Rehan.

The dead man stinks so

Rehan thought.. - Rehan.

So sorry.

Strange, when Zooni couldn't

see she didn't bang into a thing.

And now that she can see, she's

constantly walking into things.

Thank you for saving me.

You were lucky, so you survived.

What did I do?

Is it just the 3 of you here?

Zooni's mother died a

couple of years ago.

And left me all alone.

And before that her

husband died in a bomb blast.

I don't know why, but Zooni

blames herself for his death.

When will this storm end?

I must leave from here.

It's hard to say. It might

stop tomorrow or maybe a week.

Don't think of leaving

in this weather though.

Certainly not in your state.

Rest a while. You are our guest.

Captain Ranjeev..

Cheers.

Dispenser of India's destiny.

You keep teaching me things.

So boring. Tell Rehan a story.

.. Dispenser of India's destiny

You're not a good mother.

You never tell Rehan stories.

I don't know any stories.

- Bad mummy.

Not me. You. You're a bad boy.

Go. I'm not talking to you.

Rehan loves you more

than you love Rehan.

But mom Rehan already

knows the national anthem.

Let's hear it.

Thou art the ruler of the

minds of all the people.. Dravid,

.. Orissa and Bengal.

Dravid, Orissa and Bengal.

You and your Dravid fixation.

Dravid, Orissa and Bengal.

Do you know the national anthem?

No.

See even the dead man

doesn't know the national anthem.

Please tell mom,

not to teach Rehan.

The phone's dead.

Tell her not to teach Rehan.

What's this?

Which soldier doesn't

know the national anthem?

Why are you lying to the child?

I am not here to teach

him the national anthem,

.. and I'm not here

to play with him.

I don't care if I lied to him..

.. I'm a soldier on a

mission not his father!

Come here immediately!

Why, grandpa.

If you don't eat vegetables

how will you slay the dragon?

So, you must have it.

Captain Ranjeev, come and join us.

Tell us about your life.

I've heard soldiers have

fascinating stories to tell.

I'm not hungry thank you.

I'll just go to bed.

Your bed has been made upstairs.

The room on the left.

Dead man made mom cry.

Eat your food.

What's this?

Mom has sent it for you.

So you'll get better

faster so you can leave faster.

But what is it?

Poison.

Milk with turmeric.

And don't try and throw it

in the WC, it stinks it up..

.. and mom finds out.

Don't throw it out either,

the snow gets yellow.

And in the wash basin the color

stains it, you'll get caught.

And yes! If you find

some other way.

Please, tell Rehan.

Next time Rehan will do the same.

Okay? Goodnight.

It really is poison.

"Come closer now, I will not

come back again and again"

"Put your arms around me,

so I can cry again and again"

"Love from your eyes.. "

'If only I was a roll of wool..

.. wrapped around her fingers.. '

"Think we will never meet again.. "

".. just suppose, not till

this lifetime is forever closed"

"Come into my arms, hold me close.. "

".. we may never again

hae the night's repose. "

"Think we'll never meet again,

just suppose.. "

".. not till this

lifetime is forever closed. "

"Think we will never meet again.. "

".. just suppose, not till

this lifetime is forever closed"

"O Almighty. "

Thank you.

I am sorry.

Yesterday I was very rude.

Actually, I'm not

very good with children.

Am not very good with words either.

But I am good with a hammer.

Give it to me.

Not everything can be done alone.

Rehan doesn't have a father..

.. so he sometimes..

he won't trouble you again.

Its okay.

He's a good kid.

So have you forgiven me then?

Thing is, I spend

so much time alone..

.. that I don't know how to

behave in company any more.

Like this one time I went to..

.. my friend Mihir Wohra's

house for a party.

I asked his wife how she

likes being wife number 2.

Turns out she was wife number 1..

.. and had no idea

there was a wife number 2.

After this I decided I

would stick to safe topics.

So I asked my Colonel how

his son was doing at school?

Now that's safe? Right?

Wrong. Just that day his son

had been thrown out of school..

.. for biting his teacher's bum.

And not just that.

He was sent back to apologise the..

.. following day and he ended up

biting her other bum.

Close your eyes.

Rehan doesn't want to wash his hair.

You have to wash your hair or you'll

get such big, big insects in it.

Let them come Rehan will take

the insects for a walk every day.

Rehan doesn't want to wash his hair.

- May I help?

Give it a try.

I'm not talking to

you I'm talking to him.

Dead man is on my side!

He's such a sweet kid.

Why are you bothering him.

But he has to wash his hair.

He'll wash it

when he feels like it.

Cheater!?

Dead man is a cheater!

Rehan! Look up.

You were right.

Everything can't be done alone.

Come on, Rehan.

Dead man is funny.

Don't call him dead man, son.

Rehan likes the dead man.

Can I help you?

I'm fine. Thanks.

Everything can't be done alone.

You told us

some good stories today.

Why have you stopped

telling stories?

Your father talks a lot

after a couple of drinks.

Earlier I couldn't see.

Now I've seen too much

to believe in stories.

Your family must be worried.

You've been missing for a few days.

I have no family,

I never met my parents.

They died when I was 3.

I'm sorry you're so lonely.

Not at all. Why do you say that?

Your smile doesn't

reach your eyes.

A soldier's life is like that.

There must be someone else

hidden behind that soldier

Perhaps.

But, I don't think

I really understand him.

Sometimes to understand

yourself..

.. you need to see yourself

from someone else's eyes.

I could never get

that close to anyone.

Why? You couldn't trust anyone?

I don't trust myself.

And then everytime,

a new mission, a new city.

I couldn't be in any

one place for too long

Sometimes you seem very familiar.

silly sugar sucking ant for sure. "
