with seeing me hanged as Ranjit?

Stay Ranjit fortoday.

Here...

Eat your roti.

Roti!

Roti!

'l can hardly sleep.''

'Then l think maybe

you're awake as well.''

'And l keep thinking

about you till it's dawn.'

'Whether l live through this,

or l don't.'

''l wish that our love stays intact.''

''Whetherthe earth

or sky exists or not.''

'l wish that our love stays intact.'

''l am afraid of losing you.''

''lf l ever meet God,

l will say to him.''

''l don't want the two worlds.''

''Tell me..''

''Since you're with me.''

''l have no desires.''

''My prayers have been answered.''

''Whetherthe moon

keeps shining or not.''

''l wish that our love stays intact.''

l want to meet the Prime Minister.

l've explained you

so many times before...

...yet you keep coming back every day.

Please leave.

But...

- Madam...it's not possible.

Why not?

He's the Prime Minister

of the country.

Why can't he meet his own people?

He can...but first you

must take an appointment.

Appointment?

How?

Do one thing.

There's a small shop on the corner.

Buy a small telephone

directory from there.

lt's got numbers of all the

ministers and their secretaries.

Call them...

Dear.

Greetings.

- Greetings.

How long are you going to stay here,

away from yourfamily?

As long as l don't get an appointment?

Getting an appointment

could also take months.

This is like a battle,

it won't end in a day ortwo.

Think about it.

Vahe Guru.

He's in a parliament

session at this hour

Get up. Get up.

PM's gone on a foreign tour

Please call on the 23rd of August,

afternoon 2pm

'l've been sentenced to death...'

'...but the date's

not been fixed yet.'

'Although the wait is

enough to kill a man.'

'Here when they want to

play with someone's peace of mind...

...they give them a little happiness.

Neither is it dark

here...nor is it lonely.

You can also see the

moon through the window

Waiting forthe moon has made me

realize that 6 more months have passed.

l see my little Nikki's face

ln the full moon.

May God bless you with His grace,

my sister!

What happened?

Please, sit.

''We'll see what we can do.''

That's it.

lt took 8 months

to get an appointment.

And the meeting lasted

for only 3 minutes.

And they say ''We'll

see what we can do.''?

That's the limit of patience.

Father, they said they'll

see what they can do.

That means they will do something.

Right, sister?

And now...?

Say something.

These clothes were

Rotting in the suitcases.

Can't buy new clothes for Girls...

l thought l'll at least

stitch them something beautiful.

Stop it!

Stop it!

We'll call the young one Poonam.

Poonam.

'Poonam.'

'my heart is filled with immense joy knowing

you've named the young one Poonam.'

'This joy gives me strength

to endure the fact...'

'...that l've been thrown into

solitude by the new Superintendent.'

'With lndians and especially

me he has special hatred.'

'Few pages from your

last letterwere missing.'

'l wonder if l'll

get anymore letters from you.'

Have a read, you'll find

peace... its written in Hindi

Allah is with kind people,

Allah believes in Kindness,

One who helps others,

Allah is with him,

Allah believes in Humanity

Uncle...

Give these to Ranjit.

You know... from where

you entered Pakistan...

...they've put up

a borderthere now...

l wished they had thought

of this 3 years back...

'l was never able

to stay alone at home...'

'...even when you guys

went to the market.'

'And now... farfrom my actual life...

spent so many years alone'

'My daughters must

be going to school now.'

'l don't even know

how they must look.'

'Do they look more like Sukh...or me?'

' My Sukh, my beloved... Don't forget

to deck yourself up for my sake.'

Can l take this?

What's all that noise?

Today is the festival

of 'Diwali', dear.

On this day we burst

crackers...eat sweets...

...wear nice clothes

and visit our kin.
