The party was a flop, was it?

- What?

It had a lot of idiots there

- Who told you?

Anjali And she

returned quickly too

And what were you doing there?

- It was a nice party, uncle

It had some great people too

- Strange

the two of you say different things

Is Anjali in?

- Sure, she is

It was a nice party

Don't laugh You ought to

grow a tail, you monkey!

What have you been up to?

You didn't sport whiskers

when you left

So I supposed

- You drew the cartoons, eh?

They're better than you!

- Okay But how are you?

Indeed! I return after ages and

you don't even come to meet me

Didn't I? I came over to

your headquarters!

I even brought a bouquet for you!

- Did you?

Ofcourse! But you played the star

Waving out to the crowds!

Don't laugh! At the party,

you didn't talk to me

You were instead dancing

around that girl!

Which girl? Pooja?

General Mallapa's daughter

I can't help whose

daughter she is!

And you were so smitten by her!

- Never mind me

You hogged the limelight at the party

They were praising you alone!

What did they say?

They said, "Anjali's a great

singer she dances so well"

Forget them, what did you

think of it?

It was nice

The song and dance

How about me?

- Face me I'll tell you

Hurry up and tell me

Dad's calling me

We'll meet tomorrow

We'll meet for a week now

- A week?

I know you have a week off

So I've planned for it

Try anything smart, Major

and I'II have you Court Martialled

Silly girl!

Know what? You're beautiful

Well, Anjali? Where are you

preparing to go?

Jai and I are going on a picnic

- Really? Jai didn't tell me

Jai himself doesn't know

I planned the whole programme

I know he has a week's leave

So I planned everything

We'll go boating, trekking,

walking a week of fun!

Gawd! I've had it!

Hurry up, Jai!

We're getting late

Don't you think Jai has changed?

But yours truly will

bring him down to earth!

Bye, Mom

- Where are you going in uniform?

To the office, of course

- You said you are on vacation!

The vacation begins tomorrow, Mom

I'm going to the office today

No tell them that

you can't make it

Anjali's all set to leave

for the picnic Look

I can understand this, Mom

But they won't!

These soldiers are very cruel

- What was that?

I said, one has to be cruel

with himself sometimes

No Just concentrate on your work

I'm leaving, Mom

We'll make it another day, Anjali

Don't worry I'll set it up

for you C'mon inside

I'm Major Jaidev

- So?

I met you at the party last night

The party hosted to

honour an officer?

Right I'm the officer

Major Jaidev

Great decor very nice pictures

- I decide everything for the family

I see

Isn't Pooja at home?

- Why?

Pooja said

- Pooja won't marry an army officer

Well?

- Yes We have decided that

We will not get Pooja

married to a soldier

Well, I

Even in Delhi, Majors and Captains

made excuses to call on us

Eventually, they all asked for

Pooja's hand in marriage

I see

- I have warned Pooja

to stay away from army officers

She's beautiful, intelligent

She will be a model in America

and tour the world

The General and I will accompany her

Away from the army life

Aren't you much too

- What's too much?

In 30 years of our marriage, the

General spent years on the front

He spent years talking

about his experiences

I won't let it happen to Pooja

- My marriage with Pooja

Actually, Pooja wanted

to go sight-seeing So

Is there a lake in town?

- Yes A beautiful lake

The doctor prescribes it too

To cure arthritis

Is Pooja suffering from arthritis?!

- Nol am

Can I have a glass of water?

It was a great film

Know Rekha? The film-actress?

Her father played the lead role

There was this other film

that had great songs too

I'll tell you the story after

I sing a song for you

What happened?

- Well this is not nice

Here! I'm here!

Did Col Husain send you for me?!

Col Husain?

I don't know any Col Husain

Well then, Col Rana

must've sent you over

Sure But he said there's no hurry

You can take your own time

Of course there is! Let's hurry!

- What're you doing, Major?!

Who'll row the boat? I'm tired!

- It's good for your arthritis!

Never trust these soldiers!

I went to the office, you know

But Col Husain sent me

to General Mallappa's house

He wanted to know about

commando training He said

"My wife's bored

Take her out boating? "

Oh yes!

Not really

do you know him?

- I do

The Beauty Queen's mom

who was looking for sambar

in Chinese cuisine!

You have a fantastic sense of

humour! I love your company!

I'm glad you arrived!

Mrs Mallappa was boring me to death!

I would've jumped over

if you had not arrived

Actually, you will jump now

- What?

Jump

- I know you're angry But

Get off my boat, I say

Go on

How will I get off here?

I'II have to jump!

So jump!

- This is what I hate about you!

Row the boat to the banks

I'll get off

You will get off here

- I'm in uniform!

Will you get off or do I scream?

- All right Okay!

No point in saving your shoes

They go in after you

What have you done?

- You asked me to jump, didn't you?

You have deliberately

dropped me in the water!

When have I done that?

- I'm drenched!

How will I go home?

- How about me, lady?

How will I go home like this?

- There's a cab just hop aboard

Everything has changed here

- Not everything

Of course Remember?

There was a tree lying here?

Do you still remember it?

- How won't I?

You ran into it and the manner

in which you hollered!

I was really hurt

All because of you

You made me bring cigarettes for you

which you smoked on the sly

You didn't buy them, did you?

You stole them from your dad

Sure, I did

I did so much for you

I stole, was scolded and was

even beaten up for you

Dad still thinks I used to smoke

- Possible

You must've smoked, given me one

- Of course what?!

Remember's Fernande's hut here?

- I saved his dog once

He gave you a cross, too

No Fernandes, nor his hut anymore

But I'm still wearing the cross

You're still wearing a cross

the old man gave you?!

I don't move away from

anything I come to love

I'd better keep my distance

You could land me in problems!

You're going to be

Court Martialled!

Aren't you a Major anymore?

Has retirement been

good for you, sir?

You can give your family

so much attention now

Or else, you spend half

your life on the front

and the other half

talking about it

So I've decided, sir I'll make an

excuse to get an early retirement

I'll start a poultry farm

I'll spend half my time

with my family and

You will breed chickens, eh?

- It's a lucrative business, sir

We in the army can't even

fulfill the wife's little demands

But I will fulfill every

demand my wife makes

I'll take her around the world

In fact, I'll take my mother-in-law

and father-in-law with us, too!

I don't talk to chickens!

Go ahead and laugh Okay

Be my guest!

Your Mom called me a pigeon

Your dad said, I was chicken!

Mom hates the army and dad
