running in your head?

Tell me.. tell me.

It`s a personal matter.

Nothing to do with you!

It`s your turn now.

And l`m not leaving you. Come on.

I don`t want to be `left` either.

What`s that for?

You`re paying me to shut up? - No.

Eastman colour..

Harleen.

- Harleen.

Hi, Harleen.

Harleen Kaur.

It got punctured again?

The road is in such a bad state.

What can I do?

I won`t leave them. Wait and watch.

Surjeet, if you`d let

me know immediately..

..I would have arrived

with the guys.

You don`t listen to a word I say.

If you had said anything..

..I would have remembered.

Hang on, hang on. I`m using that!

Why was it lying there

if you were using it?

Hey! Hey!

- What?

Don`t trouble the man, Veer.

He`s in a hurry.

And I have all day?

You stay out of this..

..or I might start

troubling you instead!

Piling on!

Why are you in such a hurry?

Where do you have to go?

Here.

Take it!

Hurry up!

He`s in a hurry.

- Really?

Let him use it.

Okay.

She`s coming!

Stand straight.

Come on. Let`s go.

Just give it a push..

Hurry up..

Come on!

Veer, be careful!

Slow down, Veer!

I was exactly like you.

I was very different too.

Those were very different times.

A completely different world.

Don`t know what`s happened to Veer..

Come on!

- He looks so happy these days..

..Iike he`s seen a fairy queen!

Hey, sir. Good day to you!

Come here, boy.

What is it?

- Do you know what liquor tea is?

The black tea that

the English drink.

Yes. - Don`t boil it too much,

and no milk and sugar. - Go.

You`ve turned into an Englishman.

Look. - You build strength

by adding milk to tea.

Now, that is where

Punjab has it all wrong.

If strength is what

you want, drink milk.

Drink butter milk.

Why add strength into tea?

Veer, listen.

- What is it? - Look over there.

Oh, Veer.. oh, Veer!

250 grams of sweet, please.

- Yes.

Make sure it`s fresh, Uncle.

Go home.

Here`s your black tea.

I don`t like all this.

What?

- I am coming with you..

Following me around and all this.

I`m not that kind of girl.

This may be a joke to you..

..but I will be in a lot of trouble.

Please, leave me alone..

..or l`ll lose respect everywhere.

I won`t let her lose

her respect, Surjeet.

Yes, Yes.

Never.

No matter what happens.

Her honour..

..is now my honour!

Absolutely.

So, that`s it then..

I won`t ride my cycle

behind her rickshaw!

But my heart!

It isn`t a cycle..

It will continue to run..

..behind her.

Strong feelings!

He`s got it badly this time.

Now, she`s my destination.

My whole world..

My every prayer..

There`s no one else

besides her, Surjeet.

That`s good, really good.

Harleen Kaur.

She`ll come again tomorrow.

Really?

My God..

My true king..

I promise you.

In all my yet-to-come lifetimes..

..she will be my wife.

Only her.

Harleen Kaur!

Or whatever her name

will be in other lifetimes.

Just her.

No one else.

This is my pledge to you!

My pledge!

- What?!

Pledge?

Wow! Incredible!

What`s there to laugh about?

What`s there to laugh about?

Are you serious?

You haven`t even said hello,

how are you?

But you`ve decided to marry her!

And in all your lifetimes!

Whatever her name will

be in other lifetimes.

So?

- So?

You feel you`ve done something great?

Pledge!

God!

Sorry! How can you do

something like that?

I don`t understand.

You won`t even understand it, son.

This is called love.

And your entire

generation hasn`t understood it.

Wow, that`s really deep.

Because you people don`t have hearts.

God has only given you a mind.

It`s the same story with all of you.

You`re being silly now.

Shall we go?

- Let`s look at you.

You`re the best example of that.

Example for what?

How could you let her

leave like that?

If you had a heart,

would you have let her leave?

Look!

Okay..

You don`t understand me..

..and I don`t understand you.

Correct?

But that`s fine.

Why do we need to

understand each other?

There`s no shortage of

things to understand.

Traffic rules, contract papers..

..insurance policies, EMl schemes..

..global warming.

There are so many things

in your life.

Science has advanced such a lot..

..and your lives

have been filled by it.

Our menu cards had a

single dish on them.

Now, for everything,

there are a thousand options.

So, what`s the problem in that?

It`s good that there are options now.

Maybe we just weren`t

used to having options.

We just had our compulsions.

I didn`t have any option..

..between loving

Harleen and not loving her.

Should I stop her or let her go.

So, did she stay or leave?

She left.

Where to?

Calcutta.

She left Delhi permanently.

Her whole family shifted there.

I couldn`t do anything.

I just hung out with my friends.

Then it hit me all of a sudden.

That I will never see her again!

She`s going away.

A thousand miles away.

Forever..

I had to see her once more.

For the last time.

At the last moment, before parting..

..why is to so important to meet.

Why does that happen?

Sorry.

Hey, Meera!

You know what?

After this, we`ll be talking to

each other at international rates.

So, let`s chat at a

cheaper rate until I board.

Smart!

So, where have you reached?

I`m walking towards the car park.

Just leaving now.

Listen. It`s important.

That pair of red shoes..

..that you think are

very hip and stylish.

Everyone makes fun of them.

Please throw them away.

What?

And don`t ever grow a moustache.

You look like a shady character.

Understand? Like a pimp.

Have you gone completely mad?

I look really cool with a moustache.

No?

Pimp?

While I was your girlfriend..

..I couldn`t say these

things freely to you.

Now, I can.

Taking complete

advantage of our break up!

Tell me more.

And always remember.

When you`re not trying too hard..

..is when you look really hot.

That`s when I fell for you.

When you make an effort..

..you look like an idiot.

Hey, thanks.

But I don`t understand how

to use this information.

How do I not try for someone?

How is `not trying` done?

Cover it up. Hide it.

Did you ever figure out

that I was trying for you too?

I hate that!

You keep everything inside you.

The other person feels insecure.

I know.

I`ll try and change myself. Okay?

You are very upfront..

..when you talk.

A lot of people can`t handle that.

And the music you listen to!

You have awful taste!

I hate all the songs on your l-Pod.

Really?

I didn`t know that.

And you didn`t know..

..that I can`t stand your sister.

Neha?

That`s funny.

She keeps blabbering all the time.

And you.. You`re always

checking yourself out in a mirror.

Girls don`t like that.

Don`t do that.

You`ll lose all your chances.

Ma`am, may I request you

to switch off your phone?

Don`t ever wear a nose ring.

And don`t drink in the

company of strangers, Meera.

I`ve taken complete

advantage of you, darling.

Smart Alec, I always knew

what you were doing, understand?

I was never that drunk..

I just acted so you

would do something, anything.
