I've seen lots of things in my life

But now these things do not affect me

Very mature.

Hey! What's up?

No, Facebook?

You are funny.

It's very cold today.

The weather here is unpredictable.

It keeps changing like a chameleon.

It was absolutely clear in

the morning And then it snowed.

I have been noticing

since the past few days.

You stay quite busy on the phone.

I don't have anyone else

Whom do I talk to?

You will know if you

lift your eyes off the phone.

There are many people you can talk to.

- Really?

- Yes.

- Are you from Pakistan?

- Yes. Lahore

I guessed it right.

I am from Amritsar.

We are neighbors.

I never knew.

We have been staying close

to each other from quite some time

Yes

Are you married?

Yes

Oh, sorry.

- Actually, I am a divorcee.

- Oh, wow.

I mean even I am

going through a divorce.

- Oh. So sorry.

- You are a divorcee

I too am a divorcee.

- Too many divorcees, don't you think?

- Yes.

Mr. Peter's whole family..

It's very common these days.

So what caused it?

I mean what was the reason?

Nothing much.

He was very conservative

It's the same with me.

- My wife was very conservative.

- Really?

She used to ask me to wear Bhangra

costume and go for plumbing jobs

I was kept busy with

marriage and work

- Okay.

- I never made friends

Oh.

What are you doing in the evening?

Nothing I am going for shopping

After that, I am free.

Then.

Dinner?

things How to earn and how to cook

Really?

- See you later then.

- The car skids sometimes.

- Yes Okay. Sure.

- Bye.

- Bye.

Bye.

Keep driving.

Auntie, make a large one for me

I know, darling.

Come on, Jessica It's not a big deal.

It's a misunderstanding.

Such things keep

happening in every family.

Just get over it.

At least for Manveer's sake.

Look at him.

There is a vast difference in

the way he thinks and Parghat thinks

This is the difference

of basic education.

I had told you,

the guy should be a Canadian.

But you didn't get me.

You won't find anyone like Zora

I am sorry, Zora

I took your name without asking you.

Oh God, mom. Please

We are just friends

So what?

Can't friends become husband?

If a friend can become a husband..

...then it will end all

the enmity in the world.

Auntie, we went to school together'.

I never saw Jessica in that way.

Then grow up, man.

You can do that now.

Mom, please I am really sorry.

You have to stop this.

Anyway, I want to give

Parghat another chance

Chance? What is wrong with you,

Jessica?

Met take advantage

of this very weakness.

Look at me I too took a divorce.

Next day I was completely happy.

We haven't given birth to

them that we cannot leave them

Take a divorce and end the topic.

- Am I right, auntie?

- Absolutely.

You know it is not so easy for me

Fine, I don't know

whether he ever loved me.

But I loved him

Just.

Just a chance and..

I am sorry.

You are standing at the shore,

what sorrows hold you back?

Go on, I am still drowning.

I haven't drowned as yet.

Good.

Amazing

My sister is amazing.

My sister is a great poet.

Amazing

Superb. Fantastic.

She is wounded. She is hurt.

What do you mean?

- I mean the man she married..

- Yes.

Her husband wasn't permanent.

God bless my wife.

She said we will settle

ourselves in Beijing later.

First let us settle down sister.

We caught the next

flight and came here.

Brother; this might be a little personal

but what brought you two together?

Okay.

It's a very long story but

I will make it short and tell you.

One day I was wondering in the streets

of Beijing in the middle of the night.

- Ok.

- Four goons surrounded me.

I don't know from where she showed up.

She hit me black and blue

I said, don't hit me, save me.

You need to hit them

Then from the bottom

of my heart I said.

Oh What?

- Do you know what it means?

- No. Not at all.

I love you.

You need to say it to someone else.

Not to her.

Have some kebabs You look weak.

Your plane is also empty.

Take some

Someone is giving special

attention to someone.

Brother!

You cooked good food.

Whatever you say..

The food cooked by my

sister smells like Lahore.

Amazing

The food from Lahore and

Amritsar smell the same, brother.

Not just the smell.

People are also the same.

The same villages, the same streets.

The same language,

the same youth and the same childhood.

Brother, don't make

me recall my childhood.

Those sweet memories of my childhood.

Sour berries, sweet mangoes

Sweet breads.

- And a mother sweet scolding.

- Amazing.

Brother, too much sweet.

It causes worms.

Worms! What have

you just reminded me of!

Worms!

You guys too get them?

Of course

Worms don't have a religion,

caste or country.

She too must be getting them.

Eating sugar..

Everyone gets them

In the childhood kids get worms..

Everyone is the world worries

A mother worries the most.

She keeps trying to find a treatment.

Father will go behind

you with his slipper.

"Now dare you eat more sugar!"

So true, brother.

Now look,

there is so much happening in life.

..But there is no

one to worry about us

I have decided that I will make

some money and go back to my country.

I am not going anywhere.

I am Canadian.

Brother, loneliness kills one.

If you find the right

companion is such countries"

...then one starts enjoying the place.

Bro, you can look

at the photographs later.

Please give me a helping hand.

I am getting lame.

I need to go back and do the laundry.

Okay. I am coming after

sending this message

Do you know any emotional poetry?

The ones one sends

on anniversaries etc.

Whose it is?

Mine. I want to send

her a nice message.

You will send a message to your wife?

Where is that person who used

to say I don't care about anyone?

"She can do whatever she wants"

"She can go wherever she wants."

Beer has lost its fizz?

I sometimes say things I don't mean,

you know that.

Let me send her a message.

She will be angry if I don't send one

This is a little different,

a little emotional.

Read it.

Fill it the glow and

let's get out of her.

Okay, so you are messaging Parghat.

Why not? Continue. Go ahead.

Tell him,

"forgive me, I made a mistake"

"I will die without you"

"Who will take care of me"

I have another idea.

Write a letter to him in your blood

"I am your slave."

okay, okay, okay. Stop.

I was only asking about Manveer.
