years, he's convinced..

...that he'll marry Manpreet.

It was Manpreet's birthday yesterday.

But we've been invited

to dinner today.

I see..

Wish you a belated happy birthday.

Thank you.

Sorry, I didn't know.

I showed up empty-handed.

I owe you a gift.

Not at all, please.

Have a seat.

Take a seat everyone.

I'll finish up first

and then we can chat.

Yeah..

I've already finished my chores.

I'll be done with mine in 10 minutes.

Navjot and Taran,

you guys go get the cake.

Let me first pour papa a drink.

Then we can go.

Can I go get the cake?

And you guys can finish up by then.

Actually, I'll come along too.

These guys are such drama-queens.

They're very choosy about the flavour.

No-no..what are you saying, Gurpreet?

How can our guest go get the cake?

A guest should get a gift too.

Come, Gurpreet.

No-No, I am pretty much done here.

I'll go get it.

I haven't done any cycling today,

I'll go get it.

I'll order one.

This way we'll have five cakes.

Actually, I can bake

a cake in 15 minutes.

That way we'll all stay at home

we'll have the cake.

...and it'll be my gift to you.

Ohh, so sweet.

But please,

no need for such formalities.

I am going to invade your kitchen.

And you're speaking about formality.

Well I'll need an assistant.

Gurpreet, would you mind helping me?

Sure.

The blender's here, fantastic.

Gurpreet,

chop these fruits please.

Sure.

Manpreet, can you pass me that bowl?

Thank you.

I also need some flour

and some baking powder.

Sure.

Thank you.

By the way..

...l've an old association

with the name Gurpreet.

Meaning?

My best friend when

I was a kid.. was Gurpreet.

We would call him Guru.

He went to India.

Later, on my first trip to New York..

...the name of my first

taxi driver was Gurpreet.

And you won't believe this.

When I was returning from New York..

...my taxi-driver to the airport,

was another Gurpreet.

And just see this..

There are seven Gurpreets

in my phone diary.

Seven.

My last girlfriend's dad..

Sardar Gurpreet Singh Dhillon.

Thank God for him.

If it wasn't for him..

...I would've been married by now.

But it's unbelievable.

All seven Gurpreets were men.

Oh really!

Until 10 minutes ago, I thought

only guys name can be Gurpreet.

Here are your fruits and your knife.

Make it yourself.

- I haven't finished yet.

What?

After meeting you today, I felt..

Only girls should be called Gurpreet.

Whatever.

Thank you.

Take some more.

Thank you, sir.

Manpreet, the food is fabulous.

Thank you.

You should taste Manpreet's

kidney-beans and rice.

- It's out of this world.

Is it?

So Shekhar.

Yeah.

How long do you plan to stay here?

Don't know.

Honestly, I don't know.

And anyway I believe,

we never decide the time.

Life does.

We just pretend.

One day, papa passed away suddenly.

He wasn't that old or sick.

One day he was leaving for office..

I was having my breakfast.

He turned around and said bye.

I saw..

...something unusual.

But before I could ask.. he..

...just collapsed.

We had..

...so many plans together.

Some for the next vacation,

some for 20 years later.

Later, I decided

I won't plan anything.

Just take life as it comes.

I see life..differently.

Remember how your cousins would

come home during summer vacations.

We would make plans at night.

We would plan 14 days

of fun in just 7 days.

We'll do this..we'll do that.

And then one day..vacations

would get over.

Everyone would go back to their homes.

That's how life is..

Ends suddenly..like summer vacations.

We make plans for many

lifetimes in one lifetime.

And then cry over

things we couldn't do.

I still do things that papa liked.

He's always around me.

Sometimes as papa,

sometimes as Gurpreet.

Sometimes he's

warm..sometimes furious.

And sometimes.

...he just watches me sleep all night.

I never stop myself.

I just embrace happiness

wherever I get it.

Because who knows..

...when the vacations might end.

You're absolutely right.

Nice thought.

'Life is a summer vacation.'

Here! Your cake's ready.

Let's see this.

We'll know when we see it.

Bravo.

Let me help you.

Yes.

Facing down?

Yes.

We'll soon find out.

Happy birthday, Manpreet.

Thank you so much.

happy birthday.

Make a wish.

Okay.

Happy birthday to you.

Happy birthday to you.

Happy birthday dear Manpreet.

Happy birthday to you.

Thank you.

Not bad.

Taran, I think you've found

the consultant for your patisserie.

- Seriously, it's really nice.

Thank you.

Taran and I,

we're starting a patisserie.

You will be our consultant.

No-no, very bad choice.

Why?

I only know

how to make few things.

But a very dear friend of my,

Francois.

He runs the best patisserie in London.

Come along,

and I'll introduce you to him.

And he'll give you the best advice,

and that's for sure.

O beloved..

Life has offers both

happiness and cure.

What do I do..

my heart grieves for you.

As if, every breath of

mine chants your name.

As if, every breath of mine

chants your name.

Taran, it was a pleasure meeting you.

Be ready, and I'll see you at 10.

Sure.

Manpreet, can I give you a hug please.

Of course.

Happy birthday.

Thank you.

- Keep coming as long as you're here.

I will.

Shekhar.

Shekhar.

God..

Hi. Good morning.

I've been calling you for so long.

I thought I'll turn

around when the song's over.

Very funny.

It was hard to notice the headphones.

You're up early.

- We didn't sleep all night.

I see.

The three of us were

chatting all night.

And brother Navjot.

He doesn't live with us.

He just comes over sometimes.

His father is quiet old.

So he feels lonely.

- That's sweet of him.

- Yeah, he's really sweet.

Coffee?

Okay.

Come.

She thought she loved me.

But she didn't?

No, she did.

Then?

Then she found it.

Who?

What she always wanted.

Then who were you?

She just loved me.

That's esoteric.

It's practical.

Sugar?

No.

Between our desires

and our choices in life..

...lies our weakness.. ..or our strength.

That's even more esoteric.

And now?

No love or anything

of that son until 2019.

Just free as a bird.

Why 2019?

Just like that.

Hi. Morning.

Hi.

Wow. So you'll open the

door and all for me, huh?

That's my dad.

He would teach me about chivalry

and respecting women since I was nine.

And he even managed to

imbibe some of the habits in me.

Shall we get something

for you for the road?

Some coffee sandwiches.

It's a long drive.

No-no, I am good.

By the way, what do you do?

I mean..what do you want to do?

Me..l travel.

Meet people.. see new places..

But, mostly alone.

I mean professionally, what do you..

Professionally.. sorry..

You see Taran, about 6

years ago I had a Chinese friend.

Zhi.

He had a financial mind..and

I was the software kind.

So together we designed an app.

We had a small office, in a garage.

Just the two of us.

Soon it grew bigger..

We had around 20-25

people working for us.

I always thought we can work

harder and expand the company.
