Because these rites

and rituals are..

Are you married, Meera?!

Wow!

This had to happen.

I knew it.

It`s nothing to get

shattered over..

That doesn`t mean that

l`m shattered.

Funny..

Meaning, it`s not a surprise.

Anyway, what l`m

trying to say is that..

..I can`t turn back the clock..

I can`t bend it..

I mean obviously..

..even trying.. What`s the point?

Because..

..the way..

Oh, no.

Jai..

We should go here..

The lsle of Skye.

The train journey is very beautiful.

- A mistake`s been made.

I`ve made a mistake.

This is not right.

This can`t be right!

What?

This.. Jai!

He`s turning me into

somebody like him!

I had said no..

Everything was so logical.

So easy..

But Jai..

What should I do about him..?

I have to meet him, Vikram.

I have to meet with Jai.

I don`t believe this.

I have to talk to him.

I have to clear this up.

- What do you have to clear up?!

That.. Where am l?!

Am I here, or am I there, or..

Where am l?

This can`t go on, Vikram.

I can`t do this anymore!

I can`t be in two places!

You`re going to decide that now?!

Meera! After we`re married!

So, what should I do?

Tell me?

- For God sakes, Meera..

..get a grip!

You broke up with him

two years back!

We were together for one year..

..then we got married!

And the very next day you`re

talking of Jai! - Exactly!

That shouldn`t happen, right?

That means that something is wrong..

..and it needs to be fixed.

Something is still

stuck between me and Jai.

We`ve really tried..

Both of us.

But there`s something

there that hasn`t finished.

And what if talking

to him doesn`t help?

What if..it makes it stronger?

Then how can I stay with you?

If that`s the case, I should leave.

What is this, Meera?

Why are you doing this?

I`m being extremely

unfair to you, Vikram..

I know that.

I`ll apologise to you later.

But whatever is happening

inside of me right now..

..I can`t stop it.

That would be wrong.

For everyone.

For you too, Vikram.

It`s important.

I have to meet with Jai.

I have to go, Vikram.

Hello, Jai?

- Magic!

I`ve to tell Meera first.

Only she can understand..

..what just happened

with me. What this means..

And you called!

What`s happened?

San Francisco..

The Golden Gate!

One second. One second.

Someone`s here, Jai. One second.

Yes, Jai, what were you saying?

What?

No!

Promise?

You promise?

Wow, Jai, that`s amazing!

Outstanding!

Superb!

You were always sure,

weren`t you Meera?

How?

I thought that if

Meera is saying it..

..then there is a chance.

Otherwise..

I would`ve given up much earlier.

Oh, Meera..

If you weren`t there,

what would`ve happened?

What all happens in life..

That night I was

thinking what am I doing?

Why did I do all that?

Break up..

And then a second break up in lndia.

Your wedding.

And then, the very next day,

the appointment letter arrived.

I`ve waited four years for it, Meera.

And in one second,

I got all my answers.

I understood the entire plan.

Maybe there is something

like a God somewhere, Meera.

And ultimately he does..

..what`s best.

Madam.

I don`t think we

should stay here too long.

Could you turn the car around,

please?

The doorsteps of dreams.

Kiss the footprints I leave.

Earlier, I was left behind.

Now, the whole world

revolves behind me.

What am l?

How do I tell you this?

I am he who..

Whatever he desires, he achieves.

I keep only my promises to myself.

I am he who..

Whatever he desires, he achieves.

Whatever he desires, he achieves.

Every single path..

Opens its arms to me.

Behind me follow all my goals.

Wherever I go, it seems that..

Because of me,

there is celebration.

Every single path.

Opens its arms to me.

Behind me follow all my goals.

Wherever I go, it seems that..

Because of me,

there is celebration.

I know just how to live my life..

I know each secret of happiness.

I know this.

I tell the world..

I am he who..

Whatever he desires, he achieves.

I keep my promises to myself.

I am he who..

Whatever he desires, he achieves.

Whatever he desires, he achieves.

Let it go.

Do you have some desire?

Do you know to give up

your desires?

Do you have some desire?

Do you know to give up

your desires?

Now, I understand.

What it means to live, how it..

..feels to have a dream fulfilled.

Now, I see nothing.

Think of nothing.

That does not seem like a dream.

Now, I understand.

What it means to live, how it..

..feels to have a dream fulfilled.

Now, I see nothing.

Think of nothing.

That does not seem like a dream.

Each evening is a new dawn.

Time is firmly in my control.

I go higher than every desire.

I am he who..

Whatever he desires, he achieves.

I keep my promises to myself.

I am he who..

Whatever he desires, he achieves.

Whatever he desires, he achieves.

No! No! Darn you!

The doorsteps of dreams.

Kiss the footprints I leave..

Okay, Jai.

To begin with

I should tell you that..

.. this is very common.

A lot of professionals

who come from outside..

..face adjustment problems

in the U.S.

I see at least five

such cases everyday.

Great.

Then you must have the cure for it.

Because the problem is..

I.. I can`t concentrate..

I don`t have control over my mind.

How do I work?

That`s why they`ve

sent me here, of course.

Sometimes, I find that

l`m talking to myself.

That`s weird, right?

Why is this happening?

This was my dream.

San Francisco.. the Golden Gate..

I should be ecstatic but l`m..

What`s happening to me?

Jai, have you told me everything?

Yes.

Are you sure?

Yes, l`m sure.

Okay.

You know, Jai.

In every direction..

..all around you..

..there`s a lot of positive energy.

And if you feel

positive on the inside..

..all that energy will

be attracted to you.

See you later, Doctor.

And, like light it will brighten..

..up your day.

It will drive out the

darkness from your life.

Okay, let`s make this easy.

Hey! Take it easy.

Give me that too.

Come on, come on.

Let`s go, let`s go.

- Hey, what is that?

Hey, what are you? Deaf!

Okay, fine. Let`s go!

No, give it to me.

Give it!

I can`t.

What?

Oh! You can`t?

It`s a bill photo.

Forget it, let`s go!

Now, give it to me.

I can`t give it to you.

Man!

You stupid! Give me the picture!

Santos is taking it.

Give it to me. Give it to me.

Come on. Should we go

now or wait for the cops.

Relax, relax.

Friend.

Are you Bengali?

India?

You okay?

Do you have medical insurance?

Then no problem..

Okay? You okay?

Yes okay. Relax..

I`ll get you some water. Wait.

Okay?

Meera..

Is it you?

Are you doing this?

Are you my problem?

Oh, Meera..

Brother, what`s happening?

In today`s day and age..

..this shouldn`t have happened.

And with me?

I would laugh at you.

You.. Are you okay, Jai?

No..

I`m not okay, Brother.

I really tried..

..but this Meera..

What is she doing?

For so many years now..

Has she been moving

further away from me..

..or coming closer?

I haven`t even seen

her for a whole year..
