...I will thrash the life out of him.

- Why?

I mean, if anybody is teased!

It's okay.

Everyone is not the same.

But, still! I am sorry.

Why are you sorry? You're alright.

- I'm sorry on behalf of Delhi.

Emotional son of Delhi, are you

going to set the city right in a day?

Buddy, you're a firecracker.

What is that?

The way you slapped him!

I'm sure, he'll never forget it.

I am sure, your boyfriend gets

slapped around a bit, too.

How do you know,

that I have a boyfriend?

I can figure it out.

You're a girl from Mumbai.

People hook up easily, there.

How come?

- There's more freedom.

What?

I mean, go to college after

school, go to discotheques...

...with boys, and dress up

without any taboos. - Really?

Yes! It's pretty

modern out there, right?

Everything is done

way before time.

There's lots of freedom.

Anything goes.

Lots of freedom.

- Yes.

Your research is pretty detailed.

- Thank you!

I don't think you have a girlfriend.

- Why?

It's evident from your face.

What?

Sir, stop right here.

What is evident?

Hey!

How much is it?

- Ten rupees.

What is evident?

What is evident?

Come on! Tell me!

What's evident?

Hello, I am talking to you...

Hey!

It's evident, you didn't get

any freedom in the college.

You didn't go to discos with girls.

You can't wear what you want.

It's not as if you are at liberty

like we are in Mumbai.

It's clearly evident that...

...Delhi folks get frustrated.

And frustrated people,

don't get hooked up. Right?

I have an innumerable

amount of settings. Get it?

Goli is the king of hook ups!

I can't even tell you myself,

how many girlfriends I have!

Really?

Have you taken a look in the mirror?

Do you think, I am lying?

No. Not at all!

What did you say?

You have innumerable hook ups?

- You bet.

You don't even know how many

girlfriends you have.

That's right.

Have you had any experience?

Are you crazy?

Why? What is it, now?

You can ask just about anything!

What is it, now?

You're acting all coy, now.

You aren't even blushing!

- Why should I?

I'm a Mumbai girl, right?

You said, we are a bit

ultra modern, right?

Everything happens before time.

Full freedom.

You tell me,

have you been with a girl?

What if I ask you the

same question?

I asked you, first.

Yes.

There was one encounter.

L...l tried.

Then, what?

- What then?

Then what?

What then?

She got scared and...

...she ran away.

What?

She got scared and ran away?

She didn't get scared of me

and run away.

She got scared, that she might...

She might...

...get pregnant.

Then what?

- What then?

If she didn't agree,

I wasn't going to force myself on her!

We are decent.

Yes, right. You are really decent.

Really? You are laughing as if...

...you've earned a diploma

in these matters.

Okay, tell me something.

What if the girl hadn't gotten

scared about getting pregnant?

Be honest, now.

- Then?

Then, then...

- Really?

What about your

homegrown values in that case?

What do you mean?

- Consider, how to reach the point.

Don't label your lack of confidence

as your values!

It doesn't mean you have values,

it means you are a hypocrite. Get it?

You seem to be an old hand

at all this.

Have you kissed a girl?

Have I kissed a girl?

Yes, sure!

Let's just forget about it.

I'm not being a hypocrite.

I really am held back by my values.

By the way, they are towing

away that bike. Isn't it yours?

No, it's not.

Hey, you! No!

Hey, excuse me, Sir!

Hello!

What are you doing? What...

- Talk to sir.

Sir! Officer, what are you

doing, Sir?

Sir, I went there, forjust a moment.

You parked in a no parking

zone.

Come to the police station.

- Sir, please listen to me. - Hey.

Sir, you listen to me.

Sir, a child was lost, and he

was crying in the street.

We went to the police station

to drop him.

Yes. - Who knows?

He may find his parents. - Yes!

But, when we went ahead a bit,

we did find his parents.

So, we had to park the bike

anywhere, since we were in a hurry.

Sir, it's so rare for the inner human

to get aroused in this day and age.

Yes! - Sir, if you fine us for this,

no one will help anybody!

He is not at fault.

Please sir, please.

Please!

Get their bike off the van!

Thank you, Sir.

- Thank you, Sir.

Slowly, careful!

Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you.

So, how much do they fine

you for that?

It would be

a thousand rupees at least.

So, give me three hundred rupees.

- Three...

Three... what for?

1000 minus 700 you paid

in the morning is 300.

Okay, fine. I will spare you.

At least say thank you.

Thank you.

Why do you keep taking pictures?

Heritage and historically

important stuff. - Oh.

Which people seem to have

forgotten about. It's just a hobby.

That's why I have come to Delhi.

Mom tagged on the

'meet the boy' thing, later.

Okay'

Would you like to see a place?

Please don't think I am

flirting with you.

WOW!

This is so beautiful!

Thanks.

If you hadn't brought me here,

I may have never seen this place.

It's okay! Come on,

I should thank you.

You acted so well

when the cop was around!

That was awesome!

It's so peaceful, here!

It doesn't feel like that...

...it's so crowded and noisy

outside there.

There will be people,

who keep honking their horns!

But, you used all my dialogues,

right?

That one about the inner human!

It's my copyright.

Remember that!

One could forget about all

of one's worries, out here.

Just settle down.

Take a deep breath and all

the tension just flows out of you.

You know, you do carry off that

hint of emotion, nicely.

Why don't you zip it,

Mr. Motor mouth?

Don't you get tired of talking?

Give me your cell phone.

- What?

Come on!

Your cell phone.

Thanks.

- It's okay. You can pay me later.

God!

Hello! Mom, it's me.

Nothing much.

lam spending some time.

I am taking some pictures.

I didn't get through.

His phone is busy.

Mom, I am really trying!

He's the one I am waiting for.

Okay, listen to me.

lam sorry for this morning.

Mom, it's not what you think...

Mom, why are you dragging Arnav

into this?

Mom, what do you mean

by do what you want? Listen to me.

So? You're hassled again, aren't you?

It's okay, buddy!

Just settle down somewhere.

Draw in a deep, long breath.

All the tension will

flow out of you. Right?

You need to do that more

than me. - I don't get tense.

Why? Are you Superman?

No, I really don't go for

red innerwear.

Very funny!

Tension takes the nearest exit,

when it comes up against me.

Oh, God!

What is it?

Why are you sniggering?

You are such a liar!

- Now, what did I do?

Really? If you don't get tense,

what happened at Delhi Haat?

What happened?

You were looking for me and you

didn't find me. Didn't you get tense?

Tense? Nothing doing.

I have a picture.

Do you want to see it?

Oh, that?

That was...

- Yes, that is it.

What was all that about?

- That was...

Admit it. When you didn't find me,

what you felt was tense.

Why should I admit to something
