Your brain is cooking..

that's the smell..

Mr. Undy?

- Yes sir?

Everybody can smell..

but something else..

Ok guys.. listen up!

Here's the secret of Undy's smell..

Early morning.. there's

a knock on Undy's door

"Knock Knock.."

Who's there?

- Milkman..

A girl? Mansi!

Must be my sidey..

Oh, so now you have a sidey?

- No idiots..

the laundry guy..

- Laundry guy?

So Undy runs to the cupboard..

opens it..

This shirt is dirty..

Ugh.. yuck..

- What a catch, man!

This one seems clean..

This one.. worn for a day..

but clean enough..

Yuck.. you keep your dirty

and clean clothes together?

You're a dirty pig, Undy!

- So what, man? I'm a busy guy..

Of course..

you're the president of the

United States of America.. - No, no

wait.. wait.. wait.. it's not over yet

What's this?

Guess.. guess..

- No, no, not me..

Manju.. what is this?

Here.. catch..

- Yuck!

But what is this?

Nothing.. it's just a breath

of fresh air.. let it go..

Breath of fresh air, meaning?

- Sujata.. who is this?

This is Undy..

Thanks!

Eww! Yuck!

You wait.. dirty..

Now you wait..

Now you see..

Sorry.. sorry..

Now you see what I do to you..

Friends?

Then have it..

- No..

Really?

- Never!

My glasses..

Do you think.. he's..

Sujata?

What?

Nothing will happen to him

Chaturvedi sir used to say..

"We drink and drive at high speed..

..take a risk..

for what?

Some cheap thrills?

So what's a bit of risk..

for what we believe in.."

I want to fly

Everyone's been looking for you,

you're here? Everyone's been worried..

Manju...

Manju?

I want to fly

Chaturvedi sir.. I don't

think his job is the problem.

I've also worked in the same company..

Manju?

Ok, so tell me why your

company doesn't provide security..

..to its sales officers,

when they go on field?

Mr. Deepak try to understand..

How is it possible to

provide security for everybody?

Why don't you explain to him sir?

All this company-shompany is nonsense!

People like you can shut their eyes..

But Manju will not..

He has to react

When he reacts,

others will react to him..

It's a chain reaction

Take him to the doctor tomorrow morning

Who's going to stay with him tonight?

I will..

Ok

Manju.. only if you remain alright..

Can you set things right..

Ok?

Manju, come on!

He's been very disturbed since

he came to the llM yesterday..

Nobody has seen him like this before..

Yes.. He hasn't

behaved like this before..

Tell me.. since when did he stop eating?

Just recently sir..

Just recently.. actually he's been

stressed after joining this job..

He was absolutely fine in college..

Stop it.. Stop..

Can't you understand? Stop it.. go!

This is diesel, right?

Where did you get it from?

This is illegal.. you know that..

Which pump did you get it from?

Sir.. let us go, sir..

You're new here, aren't you..

That doesn't matter

One complaint and you will

unnecessarily get into trouble..

Should I complain?

Come, let's go..

Come..

Are you going to set

him on fire as well now?

Come.. come on!

Schizophrenia

Hallucinations and

delusions are likely in this case..

.. mainly because of stress..

I'm prescribing some medicines..

Manju.. have the medicines..

everything will be alright..

Really?

And what about all those thieves..

I saw, even on the first day at work..

Think of your brother.. your sister..

what would they do without you?

And if there is any problem,

why are you getting into it?

No?

Manju

What about the first

pump that I checked..

where they were cheating openly..

Like there was nothing to fear..

But what about his job?

Don't worry uncle..

we've told them for leave..

But..

convince him to find

another job, in Bangalore..

He'll get one easily

In Bangalore?

Yes uncle..

- Why not here?

Any affair?

No uncle

- No?

Sure?

No uncle.. sure..

And then you see the same thing..

in the next one..

..and the next one..

..one after the other.. everywhere..

The train was blowing its

whistle just like this..

so he asked me 'daddy

where is the train's mouth?'

And what about these people.. my folks..

who had such high hopes from me..

Me.. who was just doing his job..

And when I did it well..

..everyone had a problem..

Manju..

Manju.. how are you?

- Oh, uncle?

I'm good uncle.. how are you?

All fine at home?

Everyone's fine..

- Ok..

You know.. Jayant is

in Delhi these days..

Oh..

- Working there..

I see..

He's quite a fighter..

it's tough you know..

I've even told him, if the job

is too stressful, come back home..

Manju.. Manju.. your case is

different.. your dad told me..

this job in Bangalore is good..

stick to this one, OK?

Oh, dad told you, is it?

I met him yesterday..

he's so worried about you..

Manju..

Do one thing..

You take proper rest..

then join your job quickly..

remember you have to

lift your dad's burden.. OK?

Damu..

Appa..

You told Sharma uncle l

got a job in Bangalore?

I haven't got

So, you'll get it

It is just to shut their mouth..

nothing else..

You worry only about your job..

Nothing else

I mean.. lots of work no..

Maybe..

Appa did.. to Sharma uncle

Exactly.. I don't want to..

what is there to hide, ma?

Everyone is acting as if it's my fault..

I'm not the thief.. they are..

Ma, I can't run away like this..

We are not losers mama..

We're not, no?

We are..

What?

No, no we're not.. we're not..

Ma?

You don't want to be loser?

What?

Ok.. go..

I'm coming with you..

No loser.. no talking..

Only packing..

tomorrow..

My poor ma..

she had no idea why I was going back..

So, you're going?

Take care..

Go.. go.. go..

Bye pa..

Bye ma..

bye..

Nor did anybody else.. not even me..

All I knew was I could

not quit like that..

Just could not leave

the battle like that..

Namaste sister..

And it was a battle..

I realized that soon enough..

Fix this glass by evening,

make it as good as new..

Dad's coming you'll

have to fix it somehow..

These drunk people broke

the glass last night..

Damn it.. this guy's back?

Namaste Mr. Manju.. how are you?

Where were you all these days?

And how's your health now?

Hmm.

Give it to me..

What Mr. Manju,

you've started this again?

You told me to clean up

my act, so I did that..

This set up is clean now..

spotless like a glass..

Golu.. this doesn't seem right..

Will need to send it

to the lab as well..

Where's the log book?

Listen buddy..

You be ready with that

jar every time he calls..

What can I do, sir?

I swear by God.. you

suspect everything..

Namaste brother..

Lallan, how are you?

- Great sir

Keep this aside for the lab, please..

Ya lick his back side now..

See now..

See, you had complained

the last time as well, right?

Tell me what happened then?

Who got troubled? Who fell sick?

And who had to leave town and go?

Look my friend.. see, I know..

..you're not some two-bit crook to

run behind a piddly 100-200 rupees..

I understand your class.. Meaning..

you.. you just say it man..

We'll easily hike it up by a few
