Call me when you reach, okay?

- Bye.

Bye Meera.

- See you later.

Thanks.

- Sure.

Yes. Where are you?

Hey, she`s looking at us too!

Go, go! Come on!

- Come on! - Wild stallion!

Yes, yes, you are.. Go, go!

It`s a great night..

Hey!

Hi!

- Nice..

I don`t mean to pile on to you, but..

Then don`t.

Why do it if you don`t want to?

Pile on.

No reason.

That`s a good point.

A new angle.

We really should discuss

this further.

He said that you`re really hot.

Hot!

I know.

Oh!

- Yes.

She knows.

You don`t have to bother.

I don`t mean to pile on, but..

You`re sure?

- What?

You don`t have any

desire to pile on to me?

Do I actually want to pile on?

Give me a minute to think it over.

Bye.

- Bye, guys.

Bye, Meera.

- See you soon.

I have `that kind` of feeling..

What kind?

Like something is about to happen..

Who saw that? Who saw?

No one.

Oh, no.

What?

- Black coffee, with no sugar?

Cheers. - That`s purely to

impress the girls, right?

You don`t look very impressed though.

I feel like puking.

Oh, no.

Ambition to enter

the Golden Gate, lnc..

..San Francisco and make bridges?

`For Richard, for..

People never learn, do they?

- `Wish them in sickness and..`

They all get married..

..and then cry about it.

Game`s over, guys.

You`re finished.

It`s all over and done with.

Peace doesn`t stand a chance now.

Will you shut up?

Finish. The end.

- Can`t you control him?

Open your eyes, for Gods sake!

So, you don`t believe in marriage?

`For better, for worse..`

Have you, by any chance,

fallen in love with me..

..and made plans to get

married and have kids?!

No.

`Till death do us apart.`

Secretly, you think

l`m `the one`, right?

Not a chance!

Thank God!

Do you bring all

your girlfriends here?

Yes. It`s a nice bridge.

This place always works with women.

I`ve been preparing for

Golden Gate for three years..

..along with my job.

Oh, no.

Papers, special courses..

Lots of things.

Let`s see what happens.

It`s the same with Meera.

She wants to return to

lndia to paint old buildings.

Restoration, Grandma.

She paints.. frescoes.

Do you know what a fresco is?

No, Grandma.

I only know what a disco is. Sorry.

Look no one knows

anything about what you do.

Wow.

Do you like it?

A lot.

Work in progress.

Amazing!

Are you looking at the fresco?

Or are you doing the disco?

Rob, Marley.

My friend Meera.

- Hi. - Hi. - Hi.

Girlfriend?

- Girlfriend..

Girlfriend?

Are you my girlfriend?

I don`t know.

Why is that there?

They need another table..

..you`ve got to sort it out. No..

I hope he hasn`t told

you too much about..

..his boarding school, has he?

Well, he has. A little bit.

I`m heading out the left side.

There`ll be a lot of

traffic near the stadium.

Cool. I`ll take the tube.

Bye, darling.

- Bye.

Sorry.

How does this look on me?

Tell me.

Why ask if you really

don`t want an answer?

Tell me.

It`s superb.

Outstanding, mind blowing,

fantastic!

Oh, my God! I can`t believe

such a dress exists!

Let`s buy it immediately,

before anyone else sees it.

Let`s go! Let`s go! Let`s go!

Come on. Shall we?

The neckline is a bit low..

3-2-1..

Cheers!

Oh, God, l`m so drunk.

Happy new year.

Okay, see you.

At 5 o`clock.

Please don`t be in

a hurry to leave.

Do you have to go

anywhere in the evening?

It can`t be hurried today.

Is everything all right?

- Yes. And you?

Perfect.

5 o`clock.

Bye.

These distances..

These distances..

These distances..

Distance in our paths.

Distance in our vision.

Distance between

fellow travellers.

Destroy all these distances.

Why is someone close?

Why someone`s far away?

No one seems to know.

Am I moving closer?

Or am I going away?

I don`t know where I stand.

These distances..

Distance in our paths.

Distance in our vision.

Distance between

fellow travellers.

Destroy all these distances.

These distances..

These distances..

These distances..

It has happened.

Even on an empty road..

..you were by my side.

Once after meeting you..

My heart returned..

But empty-handed.

It has also happened.

Like it did just now.

That I found you in everything.

They make me yours,

these distances..

They torment me,

these distances..

Deprive me, these distances.

Destroy all these distances..

Are you guys ready to order?

Great.

Barbara..

Okay, cool.

Meera, it`s like this..

Hey, baby!

How are you? Okay?

What happened, Jai?

What happened?

Okay, listen. Firstly,

I must tell you that..

..it`s very difficult for me.

Okay? Very difficult.

I don`t know how l`m going to..

Why are we standing?

How silly!

Sit.

You`re not going to think that..

Actually, I don`t know.

Maybe l`m the one

who`s thinking that way.

You might just jump up shouting..

Yippee! Hey! At last!

A totally opposite reaction.

Can that happen?

- Jai.

You know the way

I feel about you, right?

I mean, I don`t talk much but..

Yes, okay. I know.

But you know? Do you?

- Jai, listen.

I think it`s very clear.

There`s no doubt.

Sorry. I`m sorry.

You were saying..

What you are saying?

This horrible traffic, Meera.

I`m completely fed up

with all the blaring sounds.

And parking. Where are

we supposed to park?

Should we walk around

with cars in our pockets?

Jai, shut up.

- I should, right?

Yes.

- Okay.

Okay.

Romeo and Juliet.

Heer and Ranjha.

Laila and Majnu.

Have you noticed the

name of the girl..

..always comes first

in lndian love stories?

What am I saying?

Yes.

Heer and Ranjha.

The type of people who

stay together over life times.

They exist only in stories.

Two people who are

separated in heaven.

Two bodies with a single soul.

And here, on earth..

..they search for each other.

What is that?

This kind of nonsense

has always.. always..

..caused confusion

in people`s lives.

We`re regular people.

Aren`t we?

What do you say?

The general public?

The common man, right?

We have to be practical.

Life is practical, right?

Jai, I was thinking..

- What?

What were you thinking?

All couples think

that they are special.

So, actually, they are just

as special as all the rest.

There you go!

- Yes, l`m going.

In a week.

- After 10 days.

The point is that you

are leaving. Forever..

You`re going to be

working over there.

The Fort Haveli

(mansion) painting project.

There are so many monuments

in lndia.

Your work will never get over.

And, in any case, you

plan to settle down there.

And you`ll move to the U.S.

Let`s see.

- Of course, you`ll go!

Golden Gate..

Thanks.

Long distance relationship..

Remember what happened with Madhvi?

See? It doesn`t work.

We have to be practical.

We`ll chat on the net.

Write to each other.

Talk on the phone.. - But gradually,

all of that will reduce. - Hi.

And then the accusations

will begin..

You haven`t replied to my mail!

You don`t call me anymore!

Fights. Finger pointing.

- And what for?

You`re not there with me,

physically.

So, the best part of the

relationship is missing.
