is that I may be

replacing him in her life.

So..why don't you speak with her,

if only as a friend?

I don't believe

anyone can explain this to her,

she needs to work it out for herself.

She always picks up.

I can't get through

on the home line either.

I hope she's feeling well..

Lets not waste anymore time,

come..lets go.

Hey"

This is my colour,

You're playing this.

Red is my colour.

Amaya?

Abhay? I'm so sorry..

I just forgot.

Unbelievable!

No no..it's okay.

We'll do the dinner some other time.

Weren't you the one who said,

we were having dinner at their place?

- Actually Amaya.. -

I'm not speaking with you.

I'm speaking to my

mother if you don't mind.

- Just stay out of

this. - Amaya how dare you?

It's okay Leela, I should be leaving.

No. You stay right here.

I think Amaya just over-reacted.

Devika,

look at it from Amaya's point of view..

How can she accept this relationship?

Why?

Amaya is a modern girl,

she knows her mind.

Being modern does not mean

that she's totally emotionless.

Don't confuse both issues.

- Listen Amaya. - No!

You listen.

I've heard whatever you have had to say,

Now you listen.

You've betrayed my father,

you've embarrassed me,

and you've changed..

Suddenly now that

he's entered your life,

your whole life has changed?

I'm no longer important?

And what were you thinking exactly?

What am I supposed to say to my friends?

Here's a wedding invitation,

not to mine, but to my mother's wedding!

And how will you break this to granny

and aunt?

What will you say to them?

How will they feel?

Have you even considered that at all?

I hate you Ma.

I hate who you've become.

- Amaya I.. - Let her speak Leela.

You obviously don't love dad.

I loved your father,

my husband.

But I don't want to

spend the rest of my life,

looking over my

shoulder at what could have been.

He can never be my father.

He will never take dad's place.

NEVER.

But you of course..

What have I done?

That was dad's and your bedroom Ma..

You could have at least respected that.

Amaya stop.

That's it.

Enough now.

He makes me feel like a woman again.

Isn't that what you said?

What is it Ma?

Is it just the sex?

Had it been Aditi

who had just said this,

I would have slapped her.

I'll see you Leela.

"O the dilemma,"

"To do or not to do and what"

"My heart and mind are far apart"

"Love is strange"

"For it makes you laugh and cry both"

"Makes you dream.."

"and takes sleep away"

"What do I make of this dreamlike state"

"For I know I am wide awake"

"I walk on air and time stands still"

"Do I even have a free will"

"What is fact and what fiction?"

"What is peace and what friction?"

"O the dilemma,"

"To do or not to do and what"

"My heart and mind are far apart"

"O the dilemma,"

"To do or not to do and what"

"My heart and mind are far apart"

"O the dilemma"

Sujata..

Am I really being selfish?

Have I betrayed Bala?

"Closeness is a dilemma thing"

"Because it does a distance bring"

"And when you feel you're not alone"

"You feel so far from yourself"

"Like the sky that's

clear but for some cloud"

"like gentle tears

that deep sorrow carry"

"what then is close and what afar"

"shall I go or shall I tarry"

Hey! What's up?

What's wrong?

Cheer up darling..

We all understand

what you're going through.

No you don't Tariq.

Okay okay..change topic, change topic.

What's happening with the book?

I really don't want to

talk about the book please.

Why?

We thought you were

really excited about this.

Was excited"

Look, can we please stop

talking about this damn book?

Amaya, we're on your side by the way!

Oh thank you!

What makes you think,

I need people on my side?

I should never have come here.

Amaya?

"O the dilemma,"

"To do or not to do and what"

"My heart and mind are far apart"

"O the dilemma"

"O the dilemma,"

"O the dilemma,"

"O the dilemma,"

Sir, may I come in?

Leela aunty?

Aunty Leela..

I'm here..in the store room.

Come on out.

What's this?

Aunty?

Has your labour union called a strike?

Our demands be met, our only taunt.

Cappuccinos twice a

day, are what we want!

Raghav, what are you saying...?

For the past two days, I've

been lugging this elephant around

and your factory's

been locked up all this time!

Factory? Elephant"?

Forget it aunty,

look what I have for you..

So what is it?

Drum roll please.

I like it, it's lovely!

WOW!

Yeah, but looking at this place,

It actually looks like it

needs people more than a signboard!

Where is everyone?

Ma!

Ma?

You want to get married, live

together" do whatever you want.

It's your life, I really don't care.

But you please tell Jazz..

You please tell Jayant not to call me.

I will not take his calls.

Jayant?

From here on, please

don't call Amaya again.

You okay aunty?

Hey Amaya..

You only pretend to be a modern,

open minded girl.

The truth is that you

are actually a hypocrite.

F*** of Raghav!

Oh I will,

but why do you have to hurt her so much?

Hurt her?

Nobody understands how I'm feeling,

it doesn't make a difference to anyone!

And in any case, this is

none of your business, so..

Listen listen" Do you actually believe

that it doesn't make

a difference to anybody?

Are you a child Amaya?

- Look I'm not interested

in your.. - I'm not done yet.

I was eight when my parents separated.

Mum married again,

but dad didn't..for us.

My sister and I got

busy with our own lives,

But dad..

He just got so very lonely.

It was sad to see him like that Amaya.

We convinced him to get married again,

and he did get married again.

Look Amaya, I can understand

that it might be embarrassing for you.

What will people say and all of that.

We were too"

but we can't be so selfish.

Amaya.. everything is not about you.

Everyone knows that

you're fond of Jayant,

so what is the problem?

I'll tell you what

the problem is Raghav.

The problem is that.

Well the problem is..

Problem is

to know that your mother

is sleeping with another man.

You disappoint me Amaya.

Rizwaan bhai?

Please come..have a seat.

Did you have a watch for repair?

No! I only came along to meet him.

My father passed away last week.

Your father was an extraordinary man.

I had some of his snaps

that I wanted to give to him.

Oh!

So you are the one my father spoke of!

He spoke of me?

Yes..

Everyone comes here

to simply have their watches repaired.

You were the only one,

who came here to simply spend time..

Which is probably why,

you stuck in my father's memory.

These pictures will always bring back

happy memories of my father.

Rizwaan used to say that memories

were never meant to

be stored in photographs,

but in the mind instead.

Aditi?

Lunch is on the table.

I'm not hungry.

Why?

What is the problem Amaya?

When I am to eat,

what time I'm to

sleep, whom I want to meet..

Is my decision Ma.

I'm not a child, and

you need to realize that.

Accepted.

But you also need to

realize, that I am still your mother.
