Shuddh Desi Romance Page #3

You refusing to issue him a passport?

No reason

Listen, child. It's youth talking

You aren't thinking straight

Only a year since your problem...

...your mind is wandering

What kind of guy is he?

Just curious.

Seeing you reminded me of him

He's a clown, by God

Does he come here?

Not now. Not till the wedding season

Even the best folk get muddled

when it comes to marriage

Boys are all the same today.

Eat, drink and be merry!

Is he like that?

Do I know? I'm not his father

He came looking for work

The wife said:
Hire him. So I did

I'm no expert in boys' matters.

Forget him

What's it to me?

All right then

All right

Listen, stay in your own home

What's wrong?

You should stay there

I've cleared out of my room

Now what?

Let me stay a few days

- I'll look for another room

- Fine

Where do I put my things?

Why did you run away?

I told you why

Why say yes at all?

I told you

What makes you tick?

Is it all eat, drink and be merry?

I'm not a professional marriage bolter

I've never been serious about anyone

Think carefully about

what you're doing

Never been serious before?

No

Never?

What about...

No, nothing

What do you mean?

You want a beer?

Your treat?

Yes. Let's go out

Any problem with staying in?

What's wrong?

Just empty words

That's what I feel

Want to get married, too?

Your mind? You packed that away.

Big talk!

Just be happy with what we have

I've said it now

Sure!

Put your suitcase away

- Sit on my lap first

- No

Just once?

- I won't move the suitcase

- Do I care?

Close your eyes

Why?

I didn't ask you to lie down

Let's forget the beer

Who are you visiting?

My sister

Who is your sister?

Where can I buy cigarettes?

The smoker's brother?

Excellent! It's over there

- What did he say?

- Who?

Who'? Gupta?

The man you were chatting to

We weren't chatting.

I bumped into him

Look where you're going then

Don't stand on the balcony then

- What did he say?

- He asked who I was visiting

- And?

- I said my sister

- You're shameless!

- What else could I say?

I'm the live-in boyfriend.

I ran from my wedding to you

- Shameless!

- What should I have said?

We'll have to say that to everyone

Everyone?

Don't I have a landlord? A cleaner?

A milkman? Is this a hotel?

0k, that's what we'll say

- How about breakfast?

- Your turn

- Sunday is my day off

- When was that decided?

- No one works on Sunday

- Neither do I

Let's go to a movie

OK, brother

Yes, sister

Move it!

Hey listen!

Listen to what I have to say

Don't have any grand illusions

If your say rules the day

My say will rule the night

Think it over now.

So don't ask me later

What's this thing between us?

What's this thing between us?

A sheet!

A homespun sheet woven

with silken desires

It's coming to flower, finally,

my love life is set to fly

It's coming to flower, finally,

my quirky love life

If anything is hidden between us

If a dark night casts over a sunny day

If anything comes between us

If victory is spiked with defeat

Softly will I ask to share your troubles

Softly will I discover your every desire

Desires unchained, stubborn

bubbles floating free

It's coming to flower, finally,

my love life is set to fly

It's coming to flower, finally,

my quirky love life

No change. I'll pay you next time

Where do you stay?

At his sister's

The smoker's brother

Last time...

I'll take the change tomorrow

Give it to him now. Who knows?

He may be gone tomorrow

I'm here only...

I was friends with the last guy

He didn't last long

Things turned serious

Her father rushed here from Guwahati

Then took the next train back

You're my father...

But don't try running my life

Guwahati is miles away. So, enjoy!

He's the permanent pain

You carry on

Easy! What's the hurry?

I'm not going anywhere

Slowly

I'm not going anywhere

Do you visit Guwahati often?

There's a direct train

Yes. So?

No reason

You're pretty serious about me

Can't I even ask?

I told you I was serious

But you're not the serious type

Why?

You said you weren't serious

about anyone

ls something on your mind?

Go on. Ask me

So you won't need to spy on me

I was only...

Don't waste water

Any Pickles?

Or yoghurt?

What shall we eat with the parathas?

Go home

Go on. Leave!

What's wrong?

Nothing. I'm done

What is it?

I only asked for yoghurt.

What's the big deal?

I'm done.

Don't want to make

another mistake

What is it? What did I say wrong?

- Tell me

- It's nothing

You said:
You can be friends,

but I can't

Don't you trust me?

What's the point in trusting?

I trust you, so trust me

You could never trust me.

You can only talk

The truth?

- I've asked around about you because...

- Because?

I won't do it again

I can't handle

a dishonest relationship,

and you can't handle an honest one

Never met an honest person

Even friends are tricky

They cheat you

when your back is turned

One has to play it safe

So what do we do?

We'll manage

Don't want to

If you leave me, where will I go?

You'll follow me...to hell

I can't bear to see you cry

Why not? You'll have to

It stings my heart. I can't take it

I didn't let him down. He betrayed me

I ended up in hospital

It's the mental asylum next time

I'll be right behind you

Sure?

Sure

Well?

Hey listen

Listen to what I have to say

Don't have any grand illusions

If you fill me with longing,

I'll fill you with desire

Think it over now.

So don't ask me later

What's this thing between us?

What is it?

You know full well

What's this thing between us?

Sweet words

So much to say in nights so short

It's coming to flower, finally,

my love life is set to fly

My quirky love life!

You look cute aged 3.

I could've married you

And me you

Aged 3? Illegal!

Legal now. So marry me

Big talker!

Sure, I will

Yes! You're so lovely.

I'll marry you tomorrow

Tomorrow?

You think you scare me

Go away!

You ride Katrina

Hurry up! Get in!

It's an emergency wedding

What's up? You look glum and gloomy

I need some advice

Wedding costs worrying you?

- What's this?

- Come aside

- You caught an STD?

- No, my friend

Well?

Why do people marry?

What? Another disappearing act?

I'm only asking

The sun didn't turn my hair grey.

I've catered for many weddings

A toastman recognizes a love letter

from its envelope

- You mean postman?

- Yeah, postman

- I knew it!

- How?

You have a shifty face

People can doubt

Even after marriage, they can.

So why fear doubt?

But if you ditch Gayatri,

don't show your face again

You worry about her. Not about me?

You're ok

You've hummed around her for ages

This is no time to think

You can doubt after marriage too.

Or no one would marry

Do yourself a favour. Calm down.

Look a prince at your ceremony

You'll make a happy couple

Blow smoke rings,

watch English movies. Enjoy life!

Who saying no?

A last doubt

- You're so wise

- Tie that turban!

May God keep them happy

Stand guard at the front door.

You, at the back
