Exactly! That's what it is!

I mean, just think.

The boy and girl meet each other.

Then, they talk to each other.

Then, they meet more and more.

Then, they roam around together.

Then, that first touch

which happens by chance.

How romantic is that?

Then, the love that comes

because of that touch.

Blushing, smiling.

Then, to know what it feels like

to touch after the wedding.

These days, people don't even

wait to get acquainted.

In fact, they even ask the name

later!

It's all high speed!

That's the end of the story.

If the boy and girl

really love each other...

...they have to have something

to look forward to.

You could live an entire life, trying

to figure things out, gradually.

If you figure it all out,

beforehand...

...no one waits

to hear the whole story.

There is no excitement

these days. Thus, there's no story.

You have to have chemistry.

If the physics and biology follows

later, things could get better.

I knew, you'd laugh at me.

You'll find me old fashioned,

right?

But, it's a fact, you know?

Perhaps, that's why our

parents' marriages are still strong.

And some friends already

have broken marriages.

Can I say something?

- Sure.

Whenever you get married...

...you won't let it break up.

You will be a great husband.

Every mom would like her

daughter to have a husband like you.

Now, can I say something?

- Go ahead.

Forget it.

- No, tell me!

What's the use?

You said, you don't want to marry.

I didn't say that.

What? Didn't you say so

at the Chole Bhature joint?

I don't believe in this institution?

Yes, that's my opinion,

not my decision.

That's amazing!

One can't be sure, when it comes

to you.

I find it really difficult to

understand myself, too.

The day I do, I will call up

and tell you.

Shall we go?

Listen to me!

- Yes, tell me.

Why don't you wait?

- Why don't you tell me what it is?

Divine Mother, grant this

girl some sense, please.

Wow! Which Sikh temple is this?

Bangla Sahib. It's the biggest

Sikh temple in Delhi.

Shall we go in?

Let's go, girl. You can eat

some offerings today.

I'll make sure all your bitterness

turns sweet, today.

You don't seem to be all that

religious.

Really? Do those who are religious,

carry a placard to announce it?

Can I tell you something?

They say if you worship

at Bangla Sahib...

...all your wishes will come true.

You must have wished

for something.

Alright, I'll get the bike.

Listen.

Let's have a cup of coffee.

Sure.

But, decide up front who

is going to pay the bill.

Thanks.

Give us an extra packet of

sugar, please. Thank you.

So? Who is your favorite leading man?

You are.

What are you saying?

Is that true?

Don't you understand a joke?

Delhi folks are all naive.

Delhi folks are cannonballs!

What about Bombay folks?

- It's Mumbai.

It's the same thing.

No! Bombay was the brother.

And is Mumbai the sister?

It's Aai.

That means, the mother.

For example, if you ask the

mother for something, you get it.

It's just like that.

The city of dreams, Mumbai.

Tell me something.

What is it?

- Buddy!

Are you alright?

I mean, you are actually asking?

I'm going to pass out.

No, I just thought, it's personal.

So, I should ask first.

Go ahead and ask.

I'm in a generous mood.

This guy of yours...

...the one you came to meet

so you can marry him...

...I mean, you have come to say

no to marry him.

Right.

Is that because of Arnav?

You were with me, all day long.

Did you miss Arnav in that 'missing'

kind of way?

"The moment changed

and the season changed."

"Yesterday it was colorful,

why is it quiet today?"

"O traveler, it is your wish."

"You write your destiny."

"This life is for a moment.

Let me live it every day."

"O traveler, listen to my story."

"I'm reaching the destination

which is in the sky."

"O traveler, listen to my story."

"A little confused

and little crazy."

"O traveler."

See? You still have an hour

and a half to go.

Yes.

So? Your trip to Delhi was wasted.

Not exactly. I did meet you.

You bet.

Did you believe that?

Okay, I'm sorry!

I know you've been really hassled

because of me. Right?

It's okay. Hassles come

and go.

Hey, you!

You should lie and say, it's okay.

Lie? Excuse me, Delhi folks

never lie.

So, tell me the truth, then!

I am telling the truth.

I have been hassled a lot

all through the day.

It was nice meeting you, buddy.

So, should I leave?

- Okay, then. See you.

Again?

Be quiet.

- Okay, bye.

Yes!

See you.

Oh!

Hello? Who's this?

I got a call from this number.

May I know who is this?

Actually, I am sorry.

This is Goli's phone.

It got left behind with me.

I thought, it must be for him.

Who's Goli?

He's my friend.

May I know who is on the line?

- This is Siddhanh.

Oh, hi, Siddhanh! This is Piya.

Neelam Singh's daughter.

I was in Delhi.

Actually, I came to meet you.

Sorry, I was really caught up.

My phone was out of coverage.

Where are you right now?

I'm at the airport.

Well, I just spoke to your mom.

She said the flight is at 6:45 PM.

Yes. - I will call you in ten minutes.

Let's meet if you have the time.

Okay, I'll meet you outside

Terminal 1-D.

But, I have only ten minutes.

Okay, I'll be there in ten minutes.

But, if you pass me I'll stop at once.

Okay'

Goli!

- Hey!

I'm glad I met you!

You have my phone.

I'm glad I met you.

Here is your phone.

It got left behind by mistake.

I thought, I'd lost my phone.

I am sorry! It was a mistake.

Okay, you know what?

- What?

He is coming here, too.

- Who do you mean?

What? That fool?

How come?

I called from your phone, right?

- Yes.

So, he called me.

He sounded really nice.

It seems, you are going to get

hitched today!

Oh come on! Give me a break.

What's the big deal?

Fate can change in ajiffy these days.

What if the other guy

is decent? Will you still say no?

Yes, I would still say no.

Oh, no! Why?

You can't decide who to

marry at the airport.

It's about the heart. it can happen

anywhere! What's wrong with that?

Buddy, I think we are heading

for another fight.

So, we should be quiet.

What do you think?

Alright, fine!

I don't care.

Where is this guy?

It's already over ten minutes.

Call him and ask him!

Call him from my phone.

Now we are friends.

I won't charge you for it.

Thanks.

What is it?

His phone is always busy!

How silly!

You are silly.

You can't dial the same number

from the same instrument.

You're dialing my phone

from my number.

It is bound to be busy.

Hi, I'm Siddhanh.

Also known as Goli Kohli.

Son of G.S and Sunita Kohli.

The boy who said yes, just

by looking at your photo.

And, now that I have met you...

...after talking to you...

...and now that I understand

the other person well...

...I swear by the Divine Mother...

...my inner human

is telling me...

...that you are just as I thought

you would be, from the picture.

Why are you hitting me?

People are looking at us!

- Goli! - What are you doing?
