It's Cuban! You should

try everything in life.

Absolutely!

Don't worry, baby! Everything

will be fine!

You will do fine!

My plight has never been so worst!

The tie is so loose. Still

I can't breathe properly.

Now don't behave like a kid! Okay!

What will I say there?

Nothing. Just answer them.

And if you can't think of

anything.. then do one thing.

Sing out Jack and Jill for them.

You are joking?

Now if you will behave like

a child, then what can I do?

Fine! I will handle it!

Okay! I am sorry!

Listen, just don't stress

about it! Okay!

It's not a matter of life and

death. It's just a silly job.

Remember.

- Y eah! Right!

I am Rahul. And I spoke to

you about that job offer.

Mr. Rai, now if I tell you..

Ieave your job.

From today.. you perform

puppet shows.

You can't do that.

Similarly 9-5 routine,

weekends off..

..paid leave.. I was not made

for all these things.

And the pressure of these things

started affecting our marriage.

Preeti tried a lot to build my

confidence.. not to let me shatter.

But.. again the same thing.

Now I couldn't do puppet shows.

Hello, Rahul! Is that

you? Hello! Rahul!

Hello!

Thank you everybody for

your patience! Thank you!

Look, you don't have to work. Okay.

Preeti..

I think we should have a baby.

We should have a baby.

Rahul the second.. or Preeti junior.

Rahul.. now?

Why? What happened?

You know, I really want

us to have a baby, right?

But now?

Now you can't be the mother of

an unsuccessful writer's child.

What's wrong with you?

You know we can't afford

a baby right now!

I don't know when you will feel

that we can afford a baby.

Rahul.

Its okay, Preeti! I

don't want a baby!

After that it was like

lndia Vs Pakistan.

Now I can understand what

went wrong between us.

What?

Mr. Rai.. your eyes are very pale.

Hello! Peter speaking!

Hey! Peter!

Hi! Preeti! How are you?

I am fine! Listen, I have

been trying Francis.

Oh! Yeah! She has gone to her mom!

She has not been keeping

too well lately!

Guess she will be away

for a couple of days!

So is everything okay?

Yeah! Yeah! Everything is fine!

Sure?

Yeah!

Tell you what? Why don't

we meet this evening?

Think we can talk?

Well.. sure. That will be great!

Hi!

- Hi!

Sorry, I am late!

- lts okay!

So how is Mrs. Hues?

She is good! Yeah! Much better now!

She said she will

be back in a week's time.

It's great!

- Yeah.

You look worked up.

Is everything okay?

And what happened?

Nothing really!

Its Rahul, isn't it?

We have.. we have not been

talking too much lately.

He has a lot of things on his mind.

So..

- Yeah.

How long this has been going on for?

You know, you don't have

to put up with this.

You know that, don't you?

What do you mean?

Look, you are a very

attractive woman.

And if he doesn't realise that..

then you should just move on.

What!

What are you talking about?

A lot of men find you

very attractive.

And they would do anything

to be with you.

Peter, he is my husband.

So what if he is your husband?

It doesn't matter. He

is just a sick writer.

Hi!

You are quite late.

Yes. I.. had some work.

What?

I had some office work.

This has never happened before

in the past 1 year.

So? What are you trying to say?

Nothing. You should have

at least informed me.

Fine. I didn't tell you.

Why do you have to make

an issue out of it?

Suddenly the good wife decides

to come back home late.

And has no explanation for it.

Everything was fine for a year.

Suddenly.. everything

starts changing.

Who is he?

You had three hours.

If you took a room in the

vicinity of the office..

..still you must have been with

him for at least 1.5 hours.

Tell me.

You know everything, don't you?

I want the details!

Where did you book the room?

Near my office.

How is he?

Is he better than me?

- Obviously!

Anyway. I am really exhausted.

He was very wild.

I had my dinner with him.

You have your dinner.

Happy Anniversary, Rahul!

And then rest is history!

She started sleeping with everybody.

This is not fair! This

is completely unfair!

Don't you feel repulsive?

Rahul.. in life things are not

as simple as we make them.

You are right.

At times things are complicated.

Even if things are not complicated..

..we make them complicated.

What if I say.. at times

you don't get the chance.

Nandini! Nandini!

What are you doing?

You will fall..

You woke up!

What are you doing at this hour?

Yesterday I saw dew drops

in the garden. - So?

I thought the season is changing.

So I was taking out warm

clothes for you and Amit.

Mr. Rai!

- Mrs. Boris.

Good evening! Good evening!

- Good evening!

Would you please tell..

..its quite late!

And he has to go to school tomorrow.

And he has homework still to do.

Oh! Certainly! Would you like

to come in for some coffee?

Thank you! Maybe some other time!

Its getting very late for Michael.

Are you sure?

- Yes.

Okay!

Hey! Your mom is waiting

for you, Michael!

Thank you, Mr. Rai!

- lts okay!

Mr. Rai!

- Yes! - Mr. Rai!

Now watch this!

This is not the first time has

applied this paint to my son's eyes!

Oh! That's not paint actually!

I mean it's not harmful!

Thank God it isn't!

But maybe you should

tell your wife..

..she shouldn't take such liberties

with other people's children.

Oh! I am really sorry!

- I am sure you should be!

This won't happen again!

- I am sure it won't!

I don't want you to go

to that house again!

Okay! Do you understand?

And why didn't you..

I live in a mental hospital.

Amidst rotted corpses. With ghosts.

Mr. Rai.. is this 7

year itch problem?

I mean if your wife is suffering

from insomnia..

..she likes children.. she likes to

apply kohl in children's eyes..

..then its not such a bad thing.

For the past 1 5 years.. each year..

..my son's birthday is

celebrated in my house.

There is veneration

every three months.

So?

Nothing! He is dead!

He was run over by a.. school

bus 1 5 years ago.

I am sorry. I really am.

Can I ask you something?

Your and Preeti's relationship

is completely ruined.

And you are young! Leave her!

Even you are not so old, Mr. Rai.

You can get any women that you want.

It's not the question of women!

I don't want women in my life.

There must be something

that you want to do.

Yes. I too have as many

possibilities as you have.

Then leave your wife. Divorce her.

Can't do that! If I divorced her

then she will kill herself.

And the society in which

I live.. you don't know.

Then you are enjoying

your situation.

Don't lie..

Sorry. Don't lie.

Honestly.. I don't know..

..whether I am telling

the truth or not.

But even I can't leave Preeti.

All I can say is that sometimes

you should listen to..

..what the wind says and follow it.

Mr. Rai.. I understand

what you are saying..

..what we both are saying..

is right.

But we can't do anything about this.

I am sorry, friend. I am not going

to take this lying down.

So what will you do?
