Rock On 2 Page #3

---

The wild fire raged

till it completely razed all the houses

and five years of Adis hardwork

The school, the Cooperative Centre,

everything...

everything was reduced to ashes

There comes a point in ones life

when he has no idea where he is headed

It was during one such phase

that Adi happened to meet Jiah

Meeting, if you could call it one

Jiah perhaps related to the pain

and despair in his eyes

Only the broken-hearted

hear the cries of a heart rent

Hello...?

Excuse me

Are you all right?

I hope you arent planning to jump...?

Look,

whatever may be your problem,

this is not the solution

I'm sorry

Oh, crap!

Oh, crap!

Help!

Somebody help me!

Help!

Adi!

Darn! You had me scared!

Weve been looking for you

since last evening. Come on, get up

Where am I?

- Cherrapunji

Thanks, guys

Are you missing something?

No, nothing

Come, get in the car

Luckily I was there

when Adi came around

Bah Sing and I reasoned with him,

while Sakshi and Joe pressurised him

over the phone

Finally, somehow we compelled him

to come back to Mumbai

Bah Sing, I have transferred some money

to your account

I will manage, Adi

Besides, the government has announced

a relief package

for the villagers.

We should get it soon

Thats good

Call me if you need something

Adi...

- Bye

Good to see you.

- How are you?

Sorry, I couldnt make it to the airport

Its okay.

- Was it Bah Sing?

Is all well?

I hope so

I know, Adi, this must be

really hard on you

but whats done is done

You have to move on

Move on?

Easier said than done, Joe

I know.

But you have to try, buddy

How long can we see you like this?

You know we love you, man

Yeah

I was telling Joe, we should be meeting

at the studio for a few days

Lets make music

We can also record your new song

Itll be a good change

What do you say?

Okay.

- Cool

Great

Well be there

What is it, Mr Uday?

You look thrilled

Youll also be excited to know

Tell me then

I had sent our CD to 12 Bar Blues

They've called us over

What for?

To play music, what else?

What?

Joe Mascarenhas' club

has live music show...

What are you saying, Uday?

I told you!

I dont want to do live performances!

You didnt bother to ask me

before sending them our tracks?

It could be a big break for me, Jiah

No! No!

I am not up for this

I dont even know them.

Why should I let them hear my track?

You want to do that?

Here... go ahead

Tell me something

What are you scared of?

We compose music

for others to hear, right?

Im at my wit's end,

and I dont have a penny to boot

Ive been trying my luck everywhere

How long can I keep knocking

on closed doors, Jiah?

Lets go

Vaayu! They sounded different

Remember?

- Yeah

Wheres their lead singer these days, Joe?

I wasnt his manager

Sir, Mr Uday is here

Wow! Ask him to set it up on the stage.

Well see him there

Sure, sir.

- Thanks

Ive heard their demo tape.

I think you should also hear it

Do I have a choice, KD?

Have you listened to my CD?

You are...?

- Rahul

We met at the club

The washroom guy!

Do you stay in this building?

No

Actually, its been a month

since I gave you the CD

I called your office several times,

in vain

Im sorry,

I had to surprise you like this

Look Rahul, I will listen to your CD

But to sneak into the building

like this... its not cool

Right.

When will you listen to it?

When I find time

Can someone be so busy?

Im sorry, my schedule doesnt suit you

So just relax.

- You've been ignoring me for a month now

And you tell me to relax?

KD speaks highly of your music

Thank you, sir

She wrote the song, so...

- Really?

Its very good

You...?

Do you know each other?

Wow! Small world

How come?

I was in Cherrapunji

to record a local band

Thats where we met

Lets hear something

Of course.

The keyboard is on the stage

And youve got your sarod

Come on, lets hear something

Now?

Yes. Now

Weve heard your demo CD

Lets see how you perform live

Come on.

Ill set it up for you

Come on, Ms Jiah. Your first

live performance is waiting for you

Jay, turn the lights on

My hearts a bit broken,

so is yours

I feel bitter,

so do you

My hearts a bit broken,

so is yours

I feel bitter,

so do you

I wonder why it is so

Why is the heart so inexplicable?

Should we just remain strangers?

It is a predicament,

for you as well as me

All our stories

remain unfinished, untold

How will they find closure?

I guess we should

think about it sometime

Im lonely, so are you

So, why dont we travel together?

The feeling that resonates

in our hearts,

why cant we bring it to our lips?

You are silent,

so am I

Confused and restless,

that's what we are

You are silent,

so am I

All our stories

remain unfinished, untold

How will they find closure?

I guess we should

think about it sometime

Cool, guys. If you have more compositions,

please feel free

to perform here, anytime

I dont know.

I just came here for Uday

So Uday, tell us if you have more songs

Jiah is the one who writes

So let's hear it, Ms Jiah

This is the only song that is complete,

the rest are incomplete;

not worth performing on stage

No problem

Well work together

on those incomplete tunes

I think well just need a guitarist

I do have a friend, retired though

Lets see.

Never lose hope!

What say, Joe?

- KD...

See? He is on!

Thanks, buddy

And you, Adi?

Me...? No!

Come on!

- No, no!

Didnt you like the song?

Nothing of the sort.

I loved the song

But the new band has a lead singer,

so Im not needed

All the best

All right then, lets start on Saturday

Tomorrow is Saturday

So, no problem...

- When it comes to music,

our friend here gets rather excited.

Right?

Absolutely right. I'm always excited

when it comes to music

Love is in the air

Without you,

there was no excitement, no desire

Now that I've found you,

I've got a new lease of life

There must be a star,

with a world of its own...

Dont mind me.

Please play

No...

I came early for the rehearsals,

so I thought I'd...

May I join you?

Play

Somewhere in the realms,

of the vast blue skies,

there must be a star

with a world of its own

brimming with life

A world, so different from ours,

not a shard of pain to endure

A world where life is not painful

Thats all there is

Its very good

Thank you

Thank you

For what you did back in Cherrapunji

I dont know what I wouldve done

if not for you

You needed help, and I was around

I couldnt think of anything else.

- Still

Very few people

lend a helping hand to others

So, thanks

What were you doing there anyway?

I visit Meghalaya quite often

To record the folk singers

May I ask you something?

Why are you scared to perform on stage?

No... it's not like that

It's probably because Im going

to perform for the first time

You have a beautiful voice, Jiah

And your notes

express your innermost feelings

You're really good

Hello

Sorry, we're late

Do you also play bass guitar, Uday?

Well... Joe sir said

since I play the sarod well...!
