Shabd Page #3

- Rubbish, shaukat! Bowled over indeed!

Why can't someone be

bowled over by you?

I'm a married woman. And if he's

still smitten by me...

he's a terribly insolent guy

You are sounding like my mother.

But that's how I am.

You know, shaukat...

ever since I've got married,

I don't like it if anyone...

tries to get intimate with me.

- How'd he know you're married?

He simply took a liking to you.

So how's the poor guy at fault?

All right, the poor guy's

not at fault

I'll clear his misgivings tomorrow

and bring him back to his senses

Instead of bring him back to his

senses, why don't you befriend him?

You're scared like Tamanna.

It's just a friendship, Antara

No.

- Why not?

I don't like the idea.

- How about another?

I don't need to make friends

with another man

Is it because you're married?

- It's because I'm happy with my life

That's because you haven't lived

life any other way

You haven't called out to anyone from

one end of the corridor to the other

Because you consider all that wrong.

Only because you're married

Meet people with an open mind, Antara.

And see what happens

You're scared, aren't you?

- Of whom?

You're afraid Yash will make

you do things...

Mrs shaukat vashist

shouldn't be doing

Let go Antara.

Let go.

You're in love with me, aren't you?

- Don't you believe that?

I do, but maybe you don't.

Because you're afraid

Of falling in love.

- That will never happen

If you keep running away from people,

it'll never happen

But the real test is to meet people,

mingle with them... and prove it

Help me out Antara.

I'm writing the story of a woman,

and I'm up against a dead-end

I need a bit of support

I've got to go to my class.

If Lalaji had seen you laugh, he'd

have been amused at his foolishness

If I keep laughing at Lalaji's antics,

the students will laugh at me

They won't have any respect for me.

- You're a fashion teacher...

all this stuff about respect

is meant for the archives

Being punctual is respectful, right?

- There you are. The perfect teacher!

Later.

Laughter. How would

Tamanna's laughter be?

What sort of laughter...?

A sparkling laughter.

What makes you laugh so much, Tamanna?

Is someone making you laugh?

Who is he?

So you've found someone?

Who is he, Tamanna?

You never let me see your face.

At least show me his

Hi, Yash.

I'm shaukat

Welcome to shaukat's world.

Everything here is decided by shaukat.

You'll only be going through the motions

Everything's for real.

Because real is what they want

so you really exist.

In shaukat's story

Not just in Antara's life, you will

also be part of my story henceforth

How do you find Tamanna?

Coffee.

- Thank you.

Looks like I'll have to pay

your mother a visit soon

I've been eating the food she cooks

and haven't even thanked her

It's not fair.

When can I drop in to say thanks?

By the way, don't you cook?

My mother doesn't cook either.

It's Rajni, my maid. She cooks for us

Where's your mother...?

Mother! Where are you?

My mother's very far away

I'm glad she's far away!

She's always asking me to get married.

- So get married

Good God!

- What happened?

My landlady's daughter!

The landlady has a crush on me!

Mother sent this. She said it's not

nice for you to ask someone for food

sorry, I'll ask her for the food today.

Maybe tomorrow. Okay?

Good afternoon.

- Good afternoon.

And tell your mother not to worry

about me. I've grown up now

Bye.

- Bye.

What's wrong with her?

- I like someone else

Her hair...

short, this much. She has very

mischievous eyes...

they're always conveying something.

She's still very child-like...

and it shows every now and then

I feel like just looking at her...

just looking at her...

What else?

- What else? She just can't laugh!

When she laughs, it sounds as if

she's splashing a pail of water!

Can you think of a girl like that?

Yash, today is your lucky day.

Want me to tell you a joke?

- Joke...? Ofcourse.

There was this sardar...

- There was this sardar...

Okay, Lalaji...

If the very idea of a joke

can make you laugh so much...

which idiot wants to listen to a joke?

It's your laughter I'm interested in

You're falling in love.

You are, Yash...

you must! The story has

to move further, you see?

Guess how Lalaji ties

his laces, Antara?

Check this out.

Very funny.

Can't you do without laughing loudly?

I'm checking the papers!

Sorry, hope we didn't disturb you?

- Yes, you did.

I didn't expect this from you, Antara

They can hear you laughing

out there in the corridor!

Oh my God.

Sorry sir.

- It's okay.

Antara, she is right.

Antara, what did you eat

for breakfast...

that you can be heard laughing

at the end of the corridor?

It's your joke that's special, Yash.

We never heard her laughing like that

Am I right, Mr Bose?

Oh my God, Miss. Kapadia.

You are only too fair.

You give all the credit only to

the one who makes her laugh. Right?

Where are you going?

- Home. I'm done

I've got just one class to go.

...I'll join you, too!

Can't be helped.

One has to go home

I hate going alone.

And today...? No way

Mrs Kapadia, how many classes

have you to take?

Why?

- I'm very depressed today

The plaster's been taking off my

arm. But the pain isn't in the arm

It's in my heart

I'm sorry.

Shall we go?

Naughty boy.

I knew it.

There was this sardarji who...

Yash replaces sardarji's with Lalaji's

in his jokes, and makes them all up!

Very talented...

I'm not kidding. It's not easy

to make up jokes

His jokes are so stupid!

And yet, I feel like laughing...

and I feel embarrassed later.

- Why? 5315

Have you ever heard me

guffawing away?

And Mrs Kapadia...? She keeps

glaring at me...

and she even takes digs at me.

This chap Yash, he's such a...

But the girls in the college

are absolutely crazy about him

How about him?

He was telling me today

what sort of a girl he'd like

What sort? Like you?

Just the opposite

I thought I must tell him then

that I'm a married woman

Why?

Didn't you say he likes girls who are

just the opposite of you?

Yes, but Mrs Kapadia...

- Who the hell is Mrs Kapadia?

I know better. I'm glad

you didn't tell him

If you told him you're married,

his behaviour would've changed

Relax Antara.

Just relax.

There will be discomfort.

Forbidden territory, after all

But don't care. It's not time yet

to tell Yash the truth

I'll tell you

when to tell him

Happy Rose Day Antara.

- What nonsense Yash.

We're not students...

- What's going on here with the roses?

Why don't they simply rename India

as America?

Such nonsense I tell you.

They don't care for seniors

or elders...

I'm told a student has

given you a rose, Yash?

Not one. 15. I can't figure out

who to give the roses to

That's the problem with this generation!

They know nothing about values and morals

Excuse me.

- Yes

Happy Rose Day.

Such nonsense.

You want one more.

Capture every moment, Yash.

Let nothing of it go away
