Hum Tum

You and I...

Because I love you

Boys get together and go out

Girls get together and chat

How will we get together?

Deep in my heart, you and I

Daylongs of longings

whenever you're nowhere near

Who all were you with?

So if you love me?

Why didn't you profess your love

and you fought me off?

Now come into my arms

First of all God created the world.

Then he went off to sleep over it...

and He conjured up

a guy and He was glad

So He wanted to dream on and on.

That's when He made

His biggest mistake

He created a Girl.

Which done, He lost his sleep.

So we lost our sleep too. For good

And the world was split

into two halves

girls and guys, like you and I

So what do we do about

...you and I?

Renowned cartoonist Karan Kapoor's

debut novel "Hum-Tum"...

is a national bestseller

First week sales crossed 10,000 copies

with orders of ten thousand more

Karan Kapoor joins the press

in a first look after this grand success

How does a cartoonist turn into author?

Tried cartoons, now I'm trying words,

hoping to understand

...women, someday

Come to grips with that understanding?

Hopefully, after a few more books

And you'll write only on women?

Anything better, more interesting?

Notwithstanding your

digs at girls... - Indeed...

I think your novel is woven around...

your real life experience.

Look... when love is requited...

there's no story left to be told.

A failed romance isn't worth talking

And unrequited love?

True love never goes unrequited

It's consummated, one day or another.

Because life's a long while

Many such romances in your life?

Only one object of romance.

But the romances

she sparked were many

Silence

Mamma, enough

- Rhea, stop it

My daughter is going abroad...

Who else in the family ever went?

Who else in our colony? Ever?

I've packed lots of snacks for you

Spiced grams, pickles, sweets

Eat almonds every day,

sharpens your brains

I'll miss you Mamma

I will also, child

Hey gorgeous

Karan, where have you been?

Something forgotten

back in the car? - Yes

Oh car keys

You see...

- Don't even start

I don't care whoever she was.

Who said I was with any girl?

You got the passport, tickets?

Mom I'm going to America. To study.

I think I can take care of myself

Rubbish

Hey brother

Don't hey brother me, okay?

I got your passport, tickets

What would I do without you Mihir?

Grow up, okay?

Sure, Karan grows up someday

Hear that?

Thank God Shalini is in New York.

She'll take care of you

Don't remind me.

- She's your girlfriend

So? Never take girls too seriously

Girls are like buses.

There's one every

two minutes, traffic permitting

I disapprove of your attitude

towards girls.

And I've told you that before Girls...

Are mothers, sisters. I know

But not my sisters

You will learn to show respect to women.

Says who that I don't respect women?

I respect you, I respect Indira Gandhi

Mother Teresa, Mother India, Miss India

Sorry

Keep Him on your desk.

Lord Ganesha

Thank you for sparing me that melodrama

Look

One minute Rhea...

Mamma enough. I'm off

- Listen

I'll be late for my flight

I'll spank you

if you don't stop right there

Oblations from our Goddess of Succour.

Give it to the poor in America

Never argue, my child.

Do one good deed

then you'll deserve a good turn

My tigress. Bye, wish you

good luck.

Hoist those pants

Yes one minute

Your dad

- Your husband.

I wish you'd

mention him with a smile

Yes, I got the passport

I was thinking, this time for a change

why not holiday with

me in New York?

The way he talked,

I think he misses you

In all these seven years,

did he care to call me up even once?

Better for you if you

stay out of this mess.

Concentrate on your studies

- Yes, studies

Mihir, you'll take care of Ma?

Like you always take care of her?

You make nice-sounding parting shots

like take care of Ma etc... etc

Bye Karan.

- Take care

I hope he does fine

You're worrying about him?

I pity the girls out there

They don't know what's coming their way.

No hi out of the blue

I won't even glance at her.

Not even if she is eyeing me.

Praise the name of The Lord

Preserve the name of The Lord

Not one nice airhostess

you know beer-dinner-playing

hard to get was a waste of time

When it's too late to even say hi...

Then you ask for a magazine

Know what, for three hours we've been

only two inches from each other...

without knowing each other's names.

Why didn't you ask before?

Rhea Prakash

Karan Kapoor

You can call me Karoo

The makings of a highly

interesting acquaintance?

You and I

Not as in yourself and me

Let's make a guess. You're the tea type

Nice you avoid tea.

You know, tea types?

My mother prefers tea

Just what I was about to say. Tea types

are conservative mothers, grandmothers

Today's woman prefers coffee not tea

Hello... sleeping beauty... rise and shine

Our New York flight is six hours away

Airport squatting is boring.

Let's take a tour of Amsterdam

You got a visa. - How did you know?

I checked your passport.

- You rifled my bag?

You were asleep. I was bored.

So I thought how I'd kill some time

You don't open a lady's handbag.

Why what's inside a lady's handbag?

Okay I stand corrected.

I'd never do it again

I can't believe you rifled

my bag. - I said I'm sorry

Where are you headed? - I thought

we'd sight see Amsterdam

So where does our story end?

- Story? Ours?

Every one has a story.

So when we meet others, our stories meet

We'll spend lots of time together and

We'll look each other up in New York

Or we might say goodbyes

and never meet again

No matter how long or how short,

here's a tale of the two of us

Keep. Euro 1.40

- What was that?

My fare- Don't be silly.

Only 75 Rupees

Fifty-fifty.

Why must you spend on my tickets?

Yes, how are we related?

I was about to crack another bad joke

Here's where we are.

And there's where we're headed

Why do people smoke?

Unless you try how will you know?

It's amazing

Why do people smoke?

I thought we're taking this tour together

Why do you guys

always walk ahead of girls?

Why are girls always a step behind?

We walk ahead to show the way

and we follow so we can support you

We decided not to see

boring museums.

When did we decide?

Okay, we're deciding now.

Museums are for kids, school

teachers and old people

I'm off

You'll leave me all alone?

You will leave a

girl all alone in Amsterdam?

How will I get to the airport on my own?

Fine. You go your way. I'll go mine.

Done with your museum?

God

- What have I done?

Why were

you staring at that girl?

Your x-ray eyes see

through dresses? - I wish

Karan how would you feel

if you were ogled at by a girl?

Thank God, not all guys think like you

Not all guys think like that?

You seriously think so?

You mean every guy is looking

for the same thing from a girl?

And what if he doesn't get it?

- We cover up with lies

Lies?

So what's your lie?

Your lies

When a girl smiles at me...
