now...with our luggage all packed...

...and you are telling

me there is no driver.

Look look..l am trying...

just give me some time.

If you don't know how to do business

then why did you even take the booking?

How's your shouting gonna help?

You just don't talk

in a civilized manner...

...and that's the reason none

of the drivers want to go with you...

...do you understand this? - In that

case you shou | d've told me the truth!

Yeah so even I didn't know this...

...that after listening your

name itself the drivers will run away!

God.

Oh I thought you guys would've

left by now, what happened'?

Driver didn't turn up.

Good...now take a flight later...

useless plans end up like this only.

I thought passing motion before this journey

will give me some relief on the way...

...but no...it's

all hardened inside...

Been on hold for 10 minutes

now... these airline idiots.

But why are you calling flight?

Call the driver.

Call the driver.

are ready to go...

Because of you my stomach...

Stomach?

What is your owner's name?

Dad.. he is the owner.

He is the owner.

Oh so he's that same irritating

owner you told me about?

Well if the owner is like him...

...then obviously people under

him will also be as useless.

Keep this up...

Do you know mister...

...because of you my daughter

is going through so much stress.

us...where is your license? - What license?

Check if the taxi

has a carrier or not.

And keep both the suitcase in

Oh Respected brother.

Choudhary,

Agra bypass, Firozabad, Kanpur...

How much time will it take'?

Of course it's far.

1500 kms.

I didn't ask in Kilometer... I

asked you time..

40 to 45 hours.

Could be more also.

Hope you don't intend

to drive after dark?

Night halt?

Haven't thought about it.

Maybe Benaras.

Hey...sit on the seat...idiot!

Yes I'll send the vehicle...

He'll take some time...

Where's the next stop?

Not before two hours...

...after that wherever we find a

decent place...we'll stop for breakfast...

Two hours?

That's too far!

This is why I didn't want us to drive down.

Unnecessarily you force your decisions.

No, I never forced.

I said. You agreed.

And you also.

When the driver didn't turn up... I

almost decided we'll go by flight...

...who told you to come last minute...

...and at least you should've

called up before coming?

What?! Why are you

dragging me into this...

I didn't load your luggage forcibly...

...I would've dropped you

at the airport had you asked me to...

...we can go back even now...

if you want to that is...

Go back?

Who said about going back?

What? tell me..

- He said...

Look mister...don't you

interfere in our family matter.

In my house I decide

everything...got it?

But this is a car, that too his.

I know it.. donkey!

Here...press this...

Piku..you said you wanted

an 'adventure trip' so this is it..

...adventurous trip you wanted

to go out of Delhi...here it is.

So enjoy..sing song..

what was that song...

'what if this road never ends...

'...how will it be, tell me my dear'

'what if this road never ends'

'...how will it be, tell me my dear'

Tell me.

You tell me.

No no you tell me.

You..

You tell...

So Mr. non Bengali Choudhary, do

you know the meaning of this song?

This path...this road that we are on..

...if it never ends,

how will that be?

Well then sing another song,

that has a better meaning..

To appreciate good

music is also an art...

Whoever wants to do whatever... can do

it here...we won't stop here for long.

Where are you?

You're asking as if you

really are worried for me..

Why aren't you telling?

- Kolkata.

What happened?

Bathrooms very dirty..it's

morning hours...

...peop | e must've used it..

God knows when will Grand Pa use it.

Keep down the phone...

All the driver are

sitting on my head.

I'll handle them

and don't take any bookings

Haven't you informed at home?

No..

So what is your

father's real problem?

Nothing.

A weak stomach...that's it...

Then tell him to do

it fast..we need to leave...

...in any case we

have that 'throne'...

...wherever he feels the urge,

we'll stop...

He doesn't eat unless he...

I got it...

There he is...

...not looking happy though..

Did the army win the war?

A bit.. there were so many

mosquitoes that I could not concentrate.

You don't have to meditate...

...this is the only job that happens

on its own...without any effort.

Bill!

So much butter.

Checked?

Yeah sir all safe.

In the morning when I got the call it seemed

you needed to reach Kolkata today itself...

...but the way family is going now...

...as if out for a picnic... forget 48,

we'll not reach Kolkata even in 72 hours.

Yes...what was the need of

stopping there to buy bangles...

...she could have bought them
