Love Per Square Foot Page #3

- Sorry.

- No, don't be.

But why?

Your salary is 50,000 rupees.

The maximum that you get

in hand must be 45,000...

46,000.

- How can you get a loan of 5 million?

- Why not?

- I will pay the installments.

- But how?

40,000 will be your monthly installment.

- How will you run your house in 6,000?

- I'll do it.

You don't have to worry.

I won't eat. I'll live on water and air.

I'll do it.

Sanjay, don't get upset.

Please check this again.

See, all my IT returns are in order.

Here's my insurance policy form.

And, these are all my bank statements.

Please check it once.

I've checked everything,

Sanjay, it's just...

It's policy, I can't really, I can't...

I can't help you.

I had job offers from the best IT firms.

But I opted to fix servers in the

technical department instead.

Do you know why?

I thought that if I work in this bank

it'll be easier for me

to get a home-loan.

I'll get a preference, like you said.

So what is this?

Sanjay, why are you

getting upset with me?

- I'm just doing my job.

- No, you're not doing your job.

You think, these bunch of

stamps have given you

the power to decide who's

going to stay in the city.

No problem. You're doing your job.

Let me tell you one thing.

These rubber stamps, or some bank stooge

won't decide whether

I should live here or not.

Hey!

I am not a stooge, okay.

Watch your tongue.

He's crazy.

Listen, you take this rickshaw,

I'll take another one.

No, it's okay.

I'm really sorry.

I was upset because I didn't get

the loan and I blurted nonsense.

And, now this...

I am sorry.

Can I take you out for coffee?

I know it's a little...

It's near by.

Just a little far...

Please, don't be angry.

You called me a stooge.

Yeah.

I meant, employee.

Sanjay, employee. Karina...

Employee.

You see...

I've lived in every railway quarter

from Dahisar to Mumbai Central.

But now, I want a permanent

address in this city.

Nothing else.

What?

Have you seen this ad?

- Jeevan Saathi...

- Housing Scheme!

Of course, I have.

Thats why I applied for the loan.

I was going to take the

lottery form too, but...

- It's pointless now.

- Why? It's still possible.

Why are you doing it alone?

Why don't you apply for a

joint loan with your...

- Are you married?

- No.

Any girlfriend?

Sir.

- Thank you.

- Thanks.

Maybe.

Why?

Then make up your mind

and apply for it together.

Pay the EMis together.

Is that possible?

Nowadays, all husbands and

wives run their home together.

You know.

They share all the responsibilities 50-50.

Go to work, come home,

and do the dishes together.

Put the clothes out to dry together.

Chill together on Sundays.

Order a takeout.

Why? Why takeout?

Cooking together is also romantic.

But who's going to cook every day?

Not every day. Alternate days.

You can cook on some days,

and on the other days, I...

I mean, your girlfriend.

What did you say her name was?

I didn't tell you her name yet.

Sorry, this scheme is

only for married couples.

- So, I...

- Doesn't matter.

I can even get married for the house.

- What?

- What?

I'm just joking.

Are you and Samuel applying too?

No, he lives with his parents.

He has three servants at home.

You're so lucky.

No home loan, no cooking

or doing the dishes.

But, that's my dream.

It's your dream to make

your husband do the dishes?

No.

My own little place.

Sharing all the responsibilities equally

- but here...

- It's one-sided.

This is me.

42 rupees.

Sorry?

The rickshaw fare, 50-50.

How can you forget your dream?

Oh, sorry. Yes.

I am joking.

See you tomorrow.

- Bye.

- Bye.

Karina...

I've been practicing every

day in the bathroom.

What?

Whenever we dance, your

phone starts to ring.

Yeah, I...

My status will get updated today.

So...

- Oh!

- Yeah.

All the best.

I'll see you. Bye, thanks.

Bye.

Rashi, we'll have our own place.

Our names will be on the nameplate.

And we'll share everything 50-50.

We'll have sex twice on Sundays,

lots of food and deep conversations.

This is it! This is it!

Rashi, you have to decide now.

You have to decide now.

It's Kashin or me.

Kashin or me!

Kashin or me!

- Hi, Kashin.

- Hey, Sanjay!

So good to finally meet you, man.

Rashi's been waiting for you.

Aww. You got me my favorite flowers.

See. You don't even know

what my favorite flowers are.

Sanjay, make tea for everyone.

Hey! He's not your employee here.

He's my friend.

Go.

Go and get wine for everyone.

This is his house, too.

There's no need for this formality.

Sorry.

An irritating habit since childhood.

You know, Sanjay, I am really happy

- that Rashi found you.

- Yeah, right...

No. What do you mean?

I was really insecure.

Who is this guy? Why is

he getting so close?

She explained to me that

you're like her best friend.

Like a brother.

But I still didn't believe her.

I wanted to punch you in the face.

- But then she sent me your picture.

- I see.

And I finally got it.

What? What did you understand?

Baby!

Bless us, O Lord

and these thy gifts which

we are about to receive...

From thy bounty, through

Christ our Lord. Amen.

Aww.

- All okay, dear?

- Yeah, all good.

I have an announcement to make.

Jesus, Mary and Joseph.

Jesus, Mary and Joseph.

I got a call.

- From where, son?

- From up.

From within! From within!

See, I can't live like you guys.

First earn money, then more money.

Buy property, spend your

life fighting for that property.

Then you die fighting for that property.

I can't live like this.

There are millions of

people in our country

- who need our help.

- Is he becoming a priest?

You're going to become a priest?

I am not becoming a priest, I...

- I formed an NGO. We're going to be

- NGO?

- Traveling across the country.

- What's an NGO?

Imphal, Kohima, Guwahati, and then

that other state, down south...

I think it's Orissa.

Orissa!

I told everyone that they are getting

married after Easter this year.

I thought you were going

to propose to her today.

- That was the idea.

- Mom!

I wanted to do all that only, Aunty.

Will you marry me?

Not aunty. But Karina,

will you marry me?

You know, after three months.

Three months?

See, because, I know. But that will

give her time to wind up her job.

And then she doesn't

have to rot in that bank

and work for those leeches anymore.

- Bloodsuckers.

- Banks are the worst.

I hate banks.

Look, son. That house is

falling down on our heads.

- You know that.

- I know.

If you want to change the world, you go.

Who is stopping you?

- But go after the wedding.

- Aunty...

we will get married, as soon I am back.

You have my word.

- Mom!

- You don't worry.

- I'll speak to Father Lori.

- Yes.

- We'll all speak to Father Lori.

- I have to leave.

Karina!

- She's nervous or what?

- No, just shy.

Karina!

Not nice to walk out in the

middle of dinner, like this.

What will they say?

Karina, girl, why are

you walking so fast?

What do you think? I am a dog, or what?
