Laaga Chunari Mein Daag Page #5

Hello, Natasha.

- Hello, Rohan!

l'm off.

Have to go to Nice tomorrow..

..So why don't you take a day off.

Ok.

- Just chill.

See ya!

Take care.. have a good flight.

So, what's the plan?

Plan?

What will you tell

Chicky and Micky?

Who?

Your grandchildren!

'l went to Switzerland..

..and l explored the hotel room

and the airport!'

As opposed to?

As opposed to the real Switzerland.

The Alps, the churches..

..the quaint restaurants..

..where you get the world's

best cheese fondue and rosti..

That's it. l'm hungry!

Change. Meet me in 5.

l hate these conferences.

Me too.

Really?

What else do you hate?

Pumpkin or banana? Bottle

gourd or bitter gourd?

Litter bugs. Smelly cabbage.

And you like..?

Hot tea in earthen cups.

'Holi' revelry!

The smell of wet earth.

A couplet maybe.

Evening by the river.

The festival shiver.

Old film songs.

Maybe an ex-flame?

Your turn..

Cricket or football?

None at all.

Blue skies.

Pine and maple.

Oh, come on! Bikini or shorts?

Anything blue!

Make a song..

Smile along..

A stranger in a strange land..

..was your friend all along.

Make a song..

Smile along..

Steal a moment from life..

..lt's time to play along.

Make a song.

ln a juicy ''paan's'' medley..

..l was at the Ganges, merrily..

..when a stranger came along..

..and struck my heart temporarily.

To drown in mystic eyes was fated..

Magic, mirage, or was l intoxicated?

Such naughtiness in a foreign

land can't be clever..

Behave! Have you no

shame what so ever?

Make a song..

Smile along..

Come along..

Steal a few sunny beams..

..from your wild dreams.

Make a song.

lt's a tiny happy drop

in an eternity..

That's life's ironic ditty.

This is what will stay with you..

..so make it count, make it true!

l was swept away by a rogue wave..

..the colors, the sights,

the effects were grave.

See this medley of colors,

this incredible fusion..

..a new song, a happy confusion.

Make a song..

Smile along..

A stranger in a strange land..

..was your friend all along.

Make a song.

l'm craving hot ginger

tea and 'pakodas'.

Oh, man!

'Kachori', 'samosas', 'jalebi'

and 'parathe'..

Croissant, sir?

Oh, no! Yes, please.

Hello? Michelle?

Who?

Excuse me, may l have

your pen, please?

Yeah, ok!

Excuse me!

Sir, ma'am says she won't

be able to join you.

Enjoy your breakfast

and have a nice day.

Ratan:
Hello?

Ratan speaking.

Are you dumb or mute?

l'm right here.

Arrived before time.

Bless this swank car!

Your job's truly lucrative.

The chicks back home

dance for peanuts.

Don't talk rubbish.

Well, that's the heart

of the matter.

Now l know the source

of uncle's windfall.

Brother..

Don't call me that.

You didn't come all this

way to tell me this.

So l'll come to the point.

lf the truth of your 'job' was

to come out in Benares..

..your father would

be the first to..

What do you want?

Money.

How much? Take it and leave..

Not so fast.

Here's a letter to your bank..

..instructing them to transfer 25

grand to our account every month.

lt's not much.

l know your rate per night.

Now sign.

But no one back home

can know anything.

How do l know you will

keep your word?

No guarantees there.

But only a fool kills the goose

that lays golden eggs.

And l ain't no fool!

Sister!!!

This city doesn't know

what's going to hit it.

Now that we're together..

..we're going to paint

this town burgundy!

How come.. you..?

You're stammering out

of excitement, sis!

l've got a job here.

l'm a management trainee

at Matrix Advertising!!

But how'd you enter..?

Oh, l had to plead

with the watchman.

And ma tried calling you so much.

Anyway..

..look at your castle, sis!

You must get me a job like

yours in event management.

We're going to have

a blast, aren't we?

'Cos we are like this..

Are you going to be

a brat at work too?

Absolutely!

Sis, how did you find

a mini Benares here?

This is 'Baan Ganga'!

Reminds me of home! Like it?

Now this is.. home!

This is who we are!

l welcome the trainees

to their first session.

Lux.. this agency's biggest brand.

Here's a sample of their

target audience..

Vivaan!

For god sake, wake up, man!

Vivaan's dead. Death by boredom!

So your task is to capture the

consumer so tightly in your fist..

..that she doesn't dream

of another soap.

Sir! Not in our fist..

in our heart!

What's your name?

Shubhavari Sahay!

Continue, please.

We can't win our target audience's

heart by not respecting them.

l mean, she's more than

a statistic, sir.

We need to understand her

dreams and aspirations..

..and make a place for

ourselves in her heart.

We're the ones in her fist!

Vivaan!

She's got brilliant insights.

Vivaan can handle the creative.

As a team, they'll rock!

Yeah.

Oh, Shubhavari! Yes, sir!

Meet Vivaan tomorrow morning..

..and get a complete low

down on the Lux campaign.

Ok, sir.

Good luck.

Babe, you're lucky!

l've been lusting over

Vivaan for 2 years..

..and you're already in.

Oh, God! He's hot!

Y-e-a-h!

What crap!

Looks like he hasn't

showered for a month.

And advertises soap!

So you give him a scrub!

This is his last campaign.

He's being posted to

Paris after this.

You're so lucky!

He's the lucky one.

He got to work with me!

l floored those Bombayites

on day 1 .

Weren't you nervous?

And where did you learn all this?

l wasn't flying kites

in my MBA course.

Sis, where did you learn

such fab make-up?

l wasn't flying kites..

..for so long in this city!!

But, sis.. be careful here.

This is not Benares.

That's what's so great!

New city, new life, new people..

..anything can happen!

Exactly! Anything can happen.

So you haven't liked anyone so far?

Be honest!

Not in this city.

Oh!! So where did you like someone?

l'm off, sis!

Come on! l've come

and you're going..

You know event management

has crazy time lines.

Bye.

Everyone's in a rush, ma.

Like they're in a race..

Oh, Lord!

And the city's full

of loony characters!

You got me, dude!

Oh, the lndian woman herself,

eh.. Shubh..

Shubhavari!

l'll call you Shubhi!

l'm Vivaan!

Hi!

l'm sorry! l don't hug

on my first meeting.

So, what's up?

Well..

Hello!

What time?

So you know all about the

modern lndian woman.

What do you think about her?

Sir..

Vivaan, please!

Vivaan..

..l know as much about

her as you do..

..about this lady!

She's modern, but probably

not lndian.

And this one's modern?

Yup.

Sunita Jadli - MD Gynaec..

runs her own hospital.

She's the modern lndian woman.

And the potential consumer of Lux.

The one you want to

capture in your fist.

Not in our fist..

..like you said..

..'ln our heart'.

Yeah.. ln our heart!

So what's the difference

between the 2 chicks?

One will spend 5 grand

in an evening..

..the other in the entire..

- Want some coffee?

Quickly!!

So they're coffee buddies now!

Vivaan is Vivaan!

Your 'lndian woman'

definition's warped.

These chicks are merely

lndian, not modern.

lt's so typical. Just like a man.
