It's simple.

Do you like him or not?

My final exams are approaching,

and then I have to intern.

And I have to prepare for my M.D.,

as well. I don't know.

But answer me.

Do you like him or not?

How can I? Before me, you have to

get married... we'll see after that.

Give me a straight, yes or no.

- No.

Alright, then, My way is clear.

Don't blame me later.

What do you mean?

Meaning, you don't like him

but I like him a lot.

What do you mean by that?

- Simple. L-like-him-a-lot.

So, you want to have your cake

and eat it too.

Dad, if there is a proposal from a

rich family, what would you do?

What?

- What are you muttering?

I am just asking.

If there is a proposal then...

What sort of a proposal?

- Obviously a marriage proposal.

Now, someone isn't gong to come

and get a rakhi tied from you.

If she is saying something,

let her finish it.

Dina, stop throwing the trump card.

I got a jack,

so I am throwing a jack.

Excuse me. I have to study.

It's your turn. - Yes.

A family is going to come with

a marriage proposal...

Not for me, for Suhani.

- All right, but who is it?

A barrister... his son is Aditya.

No one has sent any word.

They won't just land up just like that?

That's what I am doing.

Informing you.

Is this why we pawned our jewellery

and sent you to college?

Did we sent you to

college for this?

Mom, I haven't done anything.

Neither am I marrying... nor have I asked

anyone to come with a proposal.

If someone wants to pile on,

what can I do?

You must have done something.

Otherwise no one piles on

just like that.

Please, come in.

Barrister Om Sehgal.

Your bell is probably not working.

That's why, I had to use my hands.

I did call the electrician,

but he hasn't shown up.

How do you do?

- How do you do?

Please, come this way...

I hope you didn't have a problem

finding the house?

It was a bit of problem.

All these houses look so alike...

Like compartments of a train.

After all, it is a railway colony.

He loves to joke.

All middle class houses

look alike.

Maybe you have never seen them...

Come Suhani.

Sir, these are my daughters.

Dina and Suhani. Come in... Sit.

Both of them sing very beautifully.

I've heard them when they came home.

Really?

They've been brewing

their own broth quietly.

Times and customs are changing.

Parents today are just figureheads...

to endorse the wishes of their children.

These children do as they please, we no

longer have a say in anything.

Now, I told Aditya that I agree

that it's my money...

But the lungs are yours,

but where will he quit smoking?

By the way, between these two

which one is the one Aditya wants...

He is very forgetful by nature.

If I happen to overstay...

at my parent's house.

He'll ask me at the door

"Who are you?"

"Whom do you wish to see?"

Quite an entertaining man.

He must keep everyone

occupied at home.

Why don't you get some tea

for everyone?

Suhani is the younger one.

She and Adi are in love

with each other.

And the elder?

- Dina is the elder one.

She isn't married yet.

- Why?

Is she waiting for someone

who won't ask for dowry?

You are quite rude,

Sir, What do you think

my daughters are?

We might be poor, but we've brought

them up like princesses.

Please don't misunderstand me.

I was saying it's good...

That the girl's parents don't have to

worry about dowry now.

Anyway we don't expect anything...

from you.

No, if you have any expectations,

do tell us.

What expectations

can we have from you?

We don't have any from

our own son.

We've given him good education...

that's enough.

He's an adult now.

If he even picks up someone

from the street...

We cannot do anything about it.

One minute.

Do you think we are auctioning

our daughters on the roadside...

For the first available groom?

Dad, what are you saying?

- You keep quiet.

Mr. Advocate here can argue with

a magistrate...

But he does not know the courtesies

to talk to his in-laws to be.

You are unnecessarily

twisting the issue.

I did not mean that at all.

- There is nothing more to be said.

We do not want to marry our daughter

in your family.

What has happened hasn't happened with

either your consent or mine.

Let it be, this is no time

for sweets, let's go.

I'm glad we're under

no obligations.

Suhani... Listen...

What happened?

What had to happen has happened.

Let's finish this right here.

Dad went to meet your father.

What happened?

Yes, they met.

Like Musharraf met Vajpayee.

It was like reliving the Agra summit.

- This marriage is not between...

A Prime Minister and a President for the

decision to be taken in Parliament.

We have to marry.

It's for us to decide.

What will we decide?

By seeking their permission...

we showed them our respect.

The respect we got... from your

father is more than enough.

We don't want anymore.

So, my love for you comes

to nothing?

How long have you known me?

They have nurtured me for 20 years.

I cannot leave them for you.

Suhani, I can leave everything

for you. Everything.

Today, you can leave

everything for me...

What is the guarantee that tomorrow you

will not leave me for another girl?

What is this inverted logic?

In the end... why do I have to

be the scapegoat?

Why are you making a mountain...

out of a molehill?

You saw me, chased me,

professed your love...

That's all. What if I had refused you

right in the beginning?

Then, I would have called it

your bad luck.

So, do that now.

Ok... ok... you were right

and I was wrong.

At least listen to me, Suhani.

Please. Just one minute.

See, what is the hurry to decide?

Give it some time.

till the 15th.

Think about it.

If you still think that...

How will one week change anything?

Just leave it.

Give it some time.

Anything can happen. Please.

I might fall in love

with someone else.

You love me, don't you?

Today 9.50 p. M Marine Lines Station

Going fine, sir.

How is Dr. Suhani?

We never get time to talk to her.

Before it's 5.30, she has already

left the hospital.

Is it?

This evening, I told her to wait for me.

I had some work.

I got delayed by 10 minutes and

she was nowhere to be found.

Sir, I'll talk to you later.

What happened? - He doesn't know.

She left the hospital at 5.30.

Call Rajee. She must have gone there.

She's just had a baby.

Hi Adi... long time no see.

You and Suhani don't come over often?

In a day or two.

And listen... - Ok, bye.

Aditya, this relationship

is not possible.

Lives don't change in 8 or 10 days.

And I heard that lives

change in a flash.

Mine didn't.

You didn't miss me at all?

No, there was no reason to.

And there is so much to do.

Household chores. Studies.

You want to think again?

- I've thought already.

Always stay like this.

How? Weeping?

Laughing.

How long will you evade it?

...I mean, the train?

How long will you avoid train?

I might even forget,

only if you let me.

Take it easy. It's a computer...

not your grandfather's typewriter.
