..where I work..

H.E.C.

Iron is cut.

In the furnace..

..copper, aluminium..

..wire..

..conductor.

Like a transformer..

There`s no way in hell..

..that you`ll be able

to catch today`s flight.

I think that you

should call the airline..

..and shift the flight to tomorrow..

Stop it, Neha.

- Or even two days later.

I told you to shop yesterday!

Neha, don`t behave like Jai.

You`ve come to flirt

with me again?

If my girlfriend finds out..

..she`ll kill you.

She won`t get to know.

She`s not Meera.

Meera?

His ex?

- Yes.

Where.. where is she?

Listen, we`re very late.

Are you ready?

No, one moment please.

By the way..

What do you think of her?

She`s nice..

She`s not at fault.

Brother..

You`ve only seen me with Meera.

But I did have a

girlfriend before her..

..and if God wishes..

..there`ll be others.

You only fall in love once.

It`s happened to me at least

fifteen times, Brother!

Don`t tell me.

You`ve never been in love.

And then?

Only `copper and aluminium`

happened..

..or did you talk

about anything else?

We did.

What happened?

You`ll get late.

She takes a long time.

Why do girls spend so much time

in the bathroom?

What do they do in there?

Anyway..

Dilli..

The Old Fort..

Surprise visit..

Meeting..

A boy and a girl..

Then?

What a fresco..

And till now..

I only knew the disco.

What`s happening?!

It is you, right?

And?

Where`s your Jo?

What?

At the hotel.

I want to see her.

So, see her.

You know.. The four

of us should meet..

..and go out for dinner.

Made any plans for today?

No.

- Great!

I want you to meet Vikram.

Done!

I`ll call him up right now.

You speak with Jo.

By the way, do you

really want to meet Jo?

Because, honestly..

I`m not really

interested in meeting Vikram.

What will I do meeting him?

- Jai.

Meet my boyfriend.

Your girlfriend is so special!

What a great life

partner you`ve found, Meera!

A toast to our friendship.

Social nonsense.

- One second.

Hi, sweetheart.

What`re you doing?

Yes, l`d called you.

Yes. Yes, everything`s fine.

Yes, it`s all done. Yes.

One second.

Why are you getting so embarrassed,

darling?

I`ve heard all your

love talk before.

Forgotten?

No, actually..

It was the taxi driver.

No. I was asking him

for an address.

But he knew it..

Yes, the driver..

I know it, madam.

Tonight?

Actually, tonight..

I`m going out with

Kashish and gang for dinner.

I`d completely forgotten.

I`ll call you later.

Okay.

Okay. Bye, sweetheart.

Brilliant.

I`ll do the same thing with Jo.

What?

So funny..

I`ve never made excuses in my life.

So, why am I making them now..

..when l`m not even doing anything?

Listen..

Sweetheart..

Do all this thinking

after l`ve left, okay?

Now, get out of these

mechanic`s clothes..

Mechanic.

- Seriously.

What?

- What is this?

I left and your

interest in fashion also went?

Yes, Jai!

- I was broken! - Awful!

Come on.

This is like really weird.

So artificial.

This..

This sitting apart..

No touching.

Come on, you`re Meera!

Although, I haven`t

made any plan like..

Come on, Jai, let`s touch Meera!

But we always..

Habit.

You always say the

correct thing, darling.

Meera Pandit.

Jai Vardhan Singh.

I`m going to put

my arm around you, okay?

Okay?

Anything happened?

Any problem?

Others won`t understand.

Others won`t see it.

This is that kind of feeling.

What kind?

The Jai kind..

It`s used to feel like this.

You know, we didn`t realise this..

But we used to like

each other a lot.

More than Jo?

Even more than Vikram.

We understand each other too well.

Big problem.

And now, we don`t even

have to impress each other.

We don`t have to

`maintain` our relationship.

Don`t have to go out shopping.

Don`t have to arrive on time.

Wow! Listen..

I`m here for three days..

We`ll lie and make excuses.

We`ll meet on the sly.

Like they did in the old days.

And we`ll see your Delhi.

I`m sorry..

Dilli.

Come on!

This black marketing

of stolen glances..

..was once a habit

that now we`ve lost.

This love between you and me..

It came of age and now has ended.

I never bothered about the world.

Now even my worry for you is less.

You are you.

And I am me.

Look the whole world

is upside down.

You don`t know, I don`t know.

How this whole

thing got turned around.

It was destined,

was meant to be.

And now look! It`s happened.

This black marketing

of stolen glances..

..was once a habit

that`s gone away.

Admiring you, praising you..

Feeling scared of losing you.

I`ve finally forgotten.

Four times a day..

Admiring you, praising you..

Feeling scared of losing you.

I`ve finally forgotten.

Four times a day.

The magic of love has slipped away.

The exchanging of vows has ended.

From `us,` we`ve

grown to saying `me.

And me is all that`s left behind.

First two met and turned to one.

And now, our paths have parted.

Now, I have no cares.

No sighing or sorrow.

Whichever road l`m travelling on..

Happiness follows me.

Now, I am free of you.

And you are free of me.

What we want and how we want it..

Is ours right here and now.

Those tiny little threads of shame.

Which tied me have all been cut.

On each road, I travel,

on every street..

I`ve dropped my veils

and walk free.

You haven`t changed,

I haven`t changed.

But look, all of

Delhi is transformed.

In one sip,

all this worldly wisdom.

And understanding,

I drank it in.

Drinking that colourful water..

This innocent girl went wild..

Went wild.

Watching me laughing, singing..

This whole world

turned sour and bitter.

Boss.

- Yes.

You wait right here..

I`ll be back soon.

Okay.

I`ll go by myself.

What if you go into

someone else`s house?

Yes, and l`m drunk.

Correct.

Someone can take advantage of that.

That`s why you`re

coming to drop me home?

If someone is going to benefit

from this it might as well be me.

And, how are you doing?

Very good, sir.

Thank you.

Be careful!

Oh, God!

Finally.

Come in.

What?

Okay then, Jai.

Goodnight!

Goodnight.

See you tomorrow. Hey, listen.

New years eve?

Yes.

Where are you taking Jo?

I`ll find a nice place.

Hello..

All the good places will be booked.

Then l`ll take her to a bad place.

She`ll kill you.

I certainly would have.

So tell me what I should do?

What are you guys doing?

Private party.

So put our names down too.

Are you mad?

We won`t meet.

In any case..

..only the two of us

recognise each other.

And I know that

you`re dying to see Jo..

..to see if she`s

prettier than you are.

We never had so much fun

when we were together.

If we`d known, we would

have broken up earlier.

Okay.

Good evening, ma`am. Welcome.

Good evening, ma`am.

- Hi!

How are you?

- Very nice.

Yes, your table for

two has been reserved.

Let me take you to your table.

Please come this way.

So, another year has come to an end.

It`s been an important year.

Eventful..

Especially for you..

- Yes.

You moved back to lndia..

Started working..
