"It's a fact that time

has a hundred hands."

"It's a fact that time

has a hundred hands."

"Time crawls while l fly."

"It ponders every moment

before taking a step"

"and then turns our

life into a living hell."

"Time is simple."

"I am sly."

"It's a fact"

"that time

has a hundred hands."

"It's a fact that time

has a hundred hands."

"Time crawls while I fly."

"It ponders every

moment before taking a step"

"and then turns our

life into a living hell."

'I don't have a house,

but I have the keys.. Gulshan.'

Where are you staying

these days?

Where are you staying

these days?

And with whom?

Did you find a place?

I don't have a house,

I have the keys.

Keep one more.

Come over whenever you want.

I don't know, Arfi.

I don't know. I..

I seriously don't know, man!

Do you remember when Gulshan came

to our place for the first time?

And he got this..

Lots of vodka for us to drink.

And we drank like crazy.

Just like..

We boozed like crazy.

You know..

The fact that a stranger

had come to our house

and was singing, eating

and drinking there like it

was his house irritated me.

I could see that you were drinking

and were about to puke.

And then you had puke

in the middle of the room.

He had forced me to drink. And

you know I can't drink much since..

He had forced me to drink. And

you know I can't drink much since..

I got so irritated.

I had no option, I left the room.

And when I come back,

what do I see? I see Gulshan

is cleaning the floor.

I asked him what he was doing.

I told him that I

would clean the floor.

Then he looked at me

and said that the stench

would be out in five minutes.

And I was like..

He was so comfortable.

Okay, tell me something.

If you go to someone's home

and that person asks you to take

a bottle of water from the fridge

what would you do?

- 'Smoking kills.'

I will be embarrassed. I will be

so embarrassed to do that.

But this guy was cleaning vomit.

Because he wants the spotlight

on him all the time, Chandan.

I think, I really liked that guy.

I think I liked him.

It's not about how

he tried to help me

but it was about the

way he did it, you know.

It was just..

It's ridiculous, Chandan.

Absolutely ridiculous.

"All the leaves are brown.

- All the leaves are brown.."

"And the sky is grey.

- And the sky is grey.."

"My.."

"M-My Sharona.."

"Get back.."

"Come on, baby,

light my fire.'

"Come on, baby,

light my fire."

"Try to set the night on fire."

Hey, Subhangi. - What? - You

were absent in the class today.

What?

I can't hear you.

Why were you absent

in the class today? - Just..

Why were you absent

in the class today? - Just..

I have a huge crush on you.

No. Really?

Since when?

Just one minute.

You don't mind, right?

So.. What was I saying?

Yes..

- You have a crush on me.

I have had a huge crush on you

for the last four years.

Are you.. - What?

No, nothing. - I am not drunk.

I just had five pints

of beer, you know like..

I know, that's..

I can pee that much right now.

Like five pints of beer.

Not here. - But

that's not the point. - Then?

For the last four years, I have

been dying to tell you that..

You know, like..

I have a huge crush on you.

And here I go. And I..

I feel so glad that I just said it!

Yes, you are dancing.

How hard was that? - No.

- Was that hard?

This is what my friend,

Chandan, should have said.

How hard was that?

Chandan, was that hard?

See you, man.

And see you, guys.

See you, man.

And see you, guys.

He loves you.

I love you too.

Chandan.

You don't have to like me.

You don't have to say

this to Subhangi or me, okay?

See, there are some reasons.

Reason number one.

If you want something

then you should get it your way.

If you don't get it like that,

it's not yours. Okay? Right?

Look here, man.

Don't look here and there.

Reason number two.

I am not stupid. You

shouldn't have said that in front

of Subhangi's boyfriend.

I did not like it.

Nice. Nice, man.

Where are you staying these days?

And with whom?

Did you find a place?

I don't have a house,

I have the keys.

Keep one more.

Come over whenever you want.

I wonder if he was even

listening to me or not.

Exactly, Chandan.

He wasn't listening to you.

Especially after last night..

- And the way he just went in..

Disappeared into the ocean.

It was so wonderful

to see someone

so free, you know.

So free.

It was so wonderful.

The way

he rolls his joint.

He keeps it between his lips

takes a deep drag

takes a deep drag

and throws a big fat chain

of smoke right into the air.

Have you ever noticed, Arfi?

While peeing, his head

moves backwards like this.

As if he is orgasmic

or something.

Do you even observe that?

You are..

You are disgusting, Chandan.

While his bike is still moving

he puts it on a stand and parks it.

Can you beat that?

But there is one thing.

There is one thing

he can't beat me at.

Subhangi.

And do you know how she is?

I know how Subhangi is.

Handle with care types.

Because I don't know

what to do about it.

Are you not concerned about it?

- No.

You don't care if I care or not.

What do you care? - Why

were you not taking my call?

Because I don't feel

like taking your call.

You don't feel like

taking my calls!

Yes.

- Why?

Because.. - Why?

- Because you annoy me!

Oh! Hello.

Hi. Congratulations

for the Prague project.

Thank you.

Where are you going?

Where would I go?

I will be in Mumbai.

- Subhangi, two minutes please.

So what have you thought

about the Prague project?

Prague project..

Nothing much.

Prague project..

Nothing much.

There were so many invasions..

- Yes. - ...deaths.

I am thinking of making

a peace monument.

Yes, how wonderful!

You know, all the world wars

and concentration camps

and so many spooky stories.

- Subhangi, two minutes please.

And you know there is a clock

in Prague which never stops

because they say a ghost runs it.

Have you heard of that?

- The Astronomical clock.

Yes.. Exactly that.

Subhangi, come on.

Just listen to me for two minutes.

I think I will catch you later.

No.. Wait, Chandan.

Leave my hand.

Leave my hand.

I told you I didn't

want to talk to you.

You did the same

with Arfi too, right?

You were saying something.

- What?

You were asking for a treat.

And I refused. - Oh.

But you were insisting, so I

agreed to treat you with coffee.

Yes?

- Please buy me coffee.

Do you remember that?

Yes, I think I remember

it a little now.

So, shall we?

- Let's go.

Yes?

- Yes. - Okay.

So I thought,

I will treat you with coffee.

Nice. Nice, man!

I think your contours are wrong.

And you need to space

out the cottages more.

The axis is not well-defined.

If you take this to Chishti like

this, he will tear it apart.

But I have to submit it is

tomorrow. How will I do it?

I will help you.

- Will you?

Of course.

- Thank you.

Yes.

- Okay, yes. That's worth. - So..

Hey, guys!

What's up?

- You tell me.

Why is he looking at us like that?
