You go sit down.

No no..I'll earn some

tips in the meanwhile too!

When are you leaving for Ranikhet?

In a couple of days.

Bye Mrs. K

Bye Bye..

Tell me something,

what do you feel when you go back now?

It doesn't hurt so much now.

I stop for tea at the same restaurant,

the same owner still chats with me..

Cars come and go as usual..

It doesn't hurt so much now.

Yesterday.

When I spoke with Amaya yesterday,

she didn't react at all.

She didn't say a word.

She will.

You just need to give her some time.

WOW!

But what is this Busy Bazaar?

A little girl

who gets lost in a market

and goes looking for her father"

Amaya's first story,

and now, possibly her first book.

Oh Abhay!

Hi..

What a lovely surprise.

This is for you.

Oh, thank you!

Come..

Come in.

Thanks.

Hello!

Hi!

Not angry any more I hope!

I'm so sorry about that day!

Don't bother"

I'm an idiot.

It's okay..

So tell me,

how is Devika? Where is she?

She's just gone to

look at a few places to rent..

For the clinic, I told you about.

Right, you mentioned earlier.

It's a family day in?

Yeah..

Is Jayant not at home?

Jayant must be at home only..

Of course.

The weather's become really erratic"

Yeah.. but,

It's nice..l like it!

It rains every year at the same time?

Actually"

It rains whenever!

One never knows..

He asked me actually,

Jayant only told me to

come over in the evening.

So you left the

wine at Leela's home too?

You're something else..

Thanks

Why didn't you tell me?

Okay, I'm forgetful as a person,

I forgot to SMS you the address..

But my dear sir, you went ahead

and decided everything in your own mind!

All black and white?

They are life's two

basic shades after all,

black and white.

Extraordinary!

Actually quite ordinary.

A common man's everyday life..

Which we always tend to overlook.

There lies the

difference between you and us.

Oh boy!

Angry young woman.

Maybe just a

misunderstood young woman...?

And after all, anger is

also an important emotion,

it must also be present in one's life.

Shall we sit?

Sure.

Amaya?

Aren't you ready yet?

For what?

The sample of the new chairs is ready,

we have to approve it.

So?

Why do I need to come?

You go and see them yourself..

Go and see them myself?

I'm not deciding on this alone,

I need your opinion.

MY Opinion?

Really?

Lucky me!

Hi sorry..

What is it?

Just give me two minutes"

- Need any help? - No thanks.

Okay"

Thank you.

I'm so sorry!

That's alright.

I think I'll help anyway..

For the cups at least.

Chaos huh?

Where is Leela?

She's not feeling well.

What's happened to her?

I don't know.

Amaya,.

please give mummy this medicine

before she goes to bed.

What's happened to her?

Nothing serious,

just a little bit stressed I think.

- Okay bye! - Thank you.

Here, I'll pick up the medicines.

Look Raghav, I don't need..

You don't need my help?

I know.

Amaya, I'm not

doing this to impress you,

I actually happen to

be fond of Leela aunty.

This is for her.

So..if you don't mind,

Clean up.

Thanks.

I read your draft.

It's touching.

Nice.

Amaya?

Talk to me.

Good night Ma.

Please talk to me..

So, what'll you have?

I'll have one of these..

Okay..that one? And what'll you have?

I'll have a regular Mexican..

Okay. That's what you have every time!

Why did you get UP?

Aren't you supposed to go rest?

It's okay.

You have a publisher

meeting today don't you?

Go and meet him.

And please don't slap him or anything!

Okay"

Amaya..

Devika's invited us

over for dinner tonight.

Who is us?

You and me Amaya..

I'll try.

And I said to him..

Ouch!

Raghav, why do you

always insist on helping me?

I'm sorry..

Hi!

Oh hi..

When did you get back?

Just now..how are you?

Upset.

I'll just be back, sit..

Ms Krishnamoorthy..

Congratulations,

on your first publication.

I can hardly believe,

Memories of the Busy Bazaar,

is the work of a first time author.

Brillirant!

Actually,

I was so looking forward

to meeting Mr. Sinha as well.

His photography is outstanding.

I think, he's not in town sir.

Sir, there's just one more thing"

I wanted to change

the title of the book.

Absolutely not!

The title will sell first,

people will love the book after that.

Okay.

Thank you Mr. Khanna.

Thank you very much.

Thank you so much!

I have been thinking Leela..

Why do I keep returning to Ranikhet?

Because somewhere in my subconscious,

I've hoarded my most precious memories.

Amaya is doing the same thing.

I'm afraid to even speak with her now,

I never know what

she will say and when..

Naturally, till now

she has never had

to take your permission,

to enter your room.

She could do so at any

time, without so much as knocking..

Now, she will need to knock,

ask if she can enter..

It's a small thing,

but it has a different meaning for her.

So, how's the book coming along?

Good!

- Here.. - Thanks.

Thank you..

Actually it's about to be published.

Hey!

Congratulations!

I wanted Ma to be

the first person to know..

But, you'll are..

So cheers I guess!

Cheers!

She is coming right?

Yeah of course..

Actually, let me check.

She must be on her way.

Yeah.

So, nice house!

Thank you!

We all live within our

individual comfort zones,

when they're disturbed, it bothers us.

But she's very comfortable with you.

Yes she is,

but only as a friend.

She's missing her father Leela,

and now her biggest fear,
