"During examinations,

my heart turns poetic"

"When I bathe,

shyness overcomes me"

"And I come out undressed,

but wrapped in soap foam"

"Even a mosquito bite makes

me uneasy. That's how I am"

"I've gone numb all over.

Oh! What has come over me?"

"When I open my eyes,

and when I close my eyes...

"I only dream about you"

"Tell me honestly,

does it happen to you?"

"I know not why it happens.

I wonder if it's because of you"

"The pain is so sweet,

it makes me mute"

"In my village, the thirsty moon

comes by my window"

"When I ask the wind to help me,

it lifts off my veil"

"The rains in the month of November

dries up my tongue"

"When I try to quench my thirst,

it hurts my throat"

"Friends become a hassle,

and loneliness kills me"

"Friends become annoying,

and dawn becomes a burden on nights"

"Thunders go unheard,

and rising desires ruins my sleep"

"Tell me honestly, it happens

to you too, isn't it?

"I met a maiden,

and asked her to smile"

"She smiled,

and a hundred heads fell"

"The look he gave

set the ice on fire"

Scared you?

What's this?

- A small gift.

Easy. What's the hurry?

Oh! Ashtray!

This I need. Tell me,

where did you buy it from?

How much?

- 10,000.

It's made from China crystal. The

minute art work defines its cost.

It's beautiful. But you could've

given me something else.

Won't it hurt to dump ash

in such a beautiful tray?

It feels bad.

- That's it.

It serves the purpose. Every time you

smoke, it should remind you of me.

It should make you feel that you're

dumping ash on me. So, quit smoking.

Not fair. Smoking is my passion.

If you really...

respect me...

stop smoking

Last cigarette.

Last puff. Okay?

Hush. Preparing for exams.

This is bad!

What's bad?

- What you're up to.

Isn't reading good?

And I'm not reading bad books.

Not that.

I mean, your staring.

Why? I'm handling it right.

- Don't digress! You...

You were staring at my waist.

Don't act. You did stare!

- I didn't.

You did!

- I said, no!

You did! I say, you did.

And I saw you staring.

Maybe, I did.

But it was casual.

It wasn't meant otherwise.

- You haven't even read...

a single page but you

eyed at it ten times.

Jenny, you're angling wrong.

- Who, me? Or is it you?

You have always taken me wrong.

The other day when I told you...

what was written in Babu's

love-letter, you called me insane...

crook and a pervert.

Didn't you?

And when I told you the truth,

didn't you apologise to me?

And when I gave you his love-letter

that was meant for Shanti,

didn't you...

create a scene? The truth is, you

want attention and admiration.

You even expect someone to profess his

love to you. And if someone does...

you create a scene out of it.

That's women's psychology.

Talk about me. Don't you talk

about womankind! What do you know...

about women's psychology? Women don't

hide what we have in our hearts.

You men do.

Okay... you do.

Remember, in the restaurant, didn't

you intentionally drop the spoon?

Then didn't you eat

with the spoon I used?

Didn't you hide a feeling there?

Tell me, what was that?

Remember the car breakdown?

You had faked it, to walk with me.

Didn't you harass me? You kept on

asking me who do I like the most.

That apart, when you introduced all

your friends to your father...

at one go, couldn't you have

introduced me on the trot?

Why did you hesitate there?

What feelings did you hide there?

All the while you knew it, and you

acted ignorant. Can you explain?

You gave me an ashtray... fine, I'll

consider that a token of friendship.

But when I gave kisses and said

I love you to Geeta on the phone...

weren't you desperate

to know her identity?

You cooled down only when I said

that Geeta is my Mother, didn't you?

You hate to see me smoke. So the gift

can be taken a token of friendship.

But what'd you call the desperation

that you showed to know about Geeta?

Stop digressing!

Didn't you stare at my waist?

Do you love me or not?

- I don't!

Then I didn't stare at your waist!

One can't even talk to a girl

sitting on a terrace.

Such an egoistic character! I can't

be a friend to such a girl!

Even if we were friends, I wouldn't

be in love. Even if we were in love...

I wouldn't marry you!

Even if I'm forced into it...

I'd run the day before my wedding.

But I'd leave a note.

What a girl!

Never met one like this!

Look, you have no right

to discuss me and my character!

As for me,

I've never even met you!

From now on,

there's nothing between us!

Parcel from the skies?

- Airdrop. That airhostess is my...

girlfriend. How were the vacations?

- Read through it.

Film magazines?

- No, science fiction.

Stop it! Are you human? Bookworm!

You're an insult to the fraternity!

No good. What about you?

- What about you?

Went up in smoke.

My story is different.

Her name is Girija. All of eighteen.

And her eyes... like Aishwarya.

Nshw an] a Rah'?

- Right, moron.

Legs like Sen.

- Sushmita Sen?

Not the Suzuki Zen.

Uncrowned beauty!

For her, I designed a Formula One,

took it out to the track...

drove out of the pit, programme fixed!

- What programme?

Five in the morning, she enters

the bathroom. Latch turns, I enter.

I see something. It's her back.

I touch. She turns.

Not her. It's her grandmother.

Then...?

- Guess

Trash that bell!

Siva, Babu isn't here?

- No idea.

Jenny, Shanti isn't here?

- No idea.

I'm going to kill!

- Do it!

Not you. I'll kill him.

- If you touch Babu you'll kill me!

Drop dead! As far as I'm concerned,

either way you're dead.

I'd rather you simply drop dead.

Aren't you my daughter? How come

you lost the love for money?

I suspect your mother.

- Shame on you!

Look, he's going to die

if you see him again.

Babu came here when you were out of

town. That worsened the matter.

Daddy's men took Babu away.

I know not what happened to him.

Nothing would happen to him. It's my

responsibility to unite you and Babu.

I haven't come for a compromise.

- Compromise is not a bad idea.

Look, I'm not here to argue

with you. It's important.

Many things have happened here when

we were away during the vacations.

Babu went to Shanti's house to

meet her. And her father caught him.

Shanti stays locked in her house.

Did Babu come to college?

No.

The affair that we fostered

is now under danger.

I mean, the affair

between Babu and Shanti.

Did you meet Shanti?

I'm coming from her house.

She was in tears.

I promised to bring

her and Babu together.

I came to you to talk about it.

You too have promised your friend.

So, to keep our promises,

let's together...

Together?

Together, we must unite them.

Are you surprised to hear "together"?

Let me be explicit.

For this venture,

we got to define our association.

No love, no friendship,

nor any other relationship.

Just a blind association.

And that association ends

once they are united.

I hope you will abide...

I believe, you will.

You snatched my words.
