These three things should never stop

If you stop these then...

everything will come to a stop...

Come on

This ldli is not as bad as it looks!

What's your name?

Shiv Natraj...

But after living in the South

for over three decades now...

...it has become 'Shiva Natraja'!

I don't mind though...

I'm Tara.

Huh?

Tara... Kapoor

Well, Deshapande, recently

Tara Deshpande.

Here, keep that!

Drugs?

Sleeping pills!

They are perfectly harmless.

Just take one in the night

So I should just pop a pill

and doze off happily

while Rajat is in the ICU?!

I can't

Look!

While Rajat is in the ICU

the nurses are looking

after him, not you

When he comes out of it, is when he

will be needing your maimum support...

You must look after yourself...

Looking after yourself

is looking after Rajat.

You make it sound like

it's an Alcoholics Anonymous Meeting

Not so different actually...

Here come...

Come on. You must eat.

Good Evening Ma'am

So sorry to disturb you...

Company people told me

to give your husband's luggage...

Police sent to the office

Anything you need Ma'am?

You do know you can

order room service here, right?

Ma'am, if you need anything...

please call me...

Mollakutty, Good morning. Coffee...

Thank You

Tara?

Shiv!

I need your help

Omon say something!

I don't know about all these things...

What do you mean, 'all these things'?

It's obvious. They are doing it!

Doing what?

Oh!

'Can't wait to see you!'

'We are so good together'

'Keep the champagne chilled baby'

Champagne... yeah I read that...

Hovv many messages in two days?!

32!

I know it.

He came to Cochin just to meet her

This pitch business

was just an ecuse!

Look, maybe you are over-reacting.

Perhaps they are just good friends...

'Good friends'?

Yeah right! If she were

really such a good friend...

...then hovv come she did

not attend our wedding...

this b*tch!

So why don't you call her?

Just call her!

Who, this Sheetal b*tch?

And what would I say?

Hey hi, lam the wife of

the guy you are trying to screw!

But you know what,

he is in the coma at the moment...

...so now, forget about it!

Look, you just delete

these messages...

I know who to ask...

give me this!

Is that a yes or a no?

Oh yes, yes Ma'am, I know Sheetal...

And were Sheetal

and my husband close?

Oh yes!

Very close

They were working on

this pitch together right?

So talking,

chatting,

drinking...

Sleeping. ...?

Sorry?

Was Sheetal f***ing my husband?

Yes or No?

I will just...

What are you doing...

...give me this!

Sheetal Sir!

He was Rajat sir's tech partner

Oh!

Mefam!

Ma'am we are all

praying in the office...

We are holding a prayer

meeting tomorrow...

I'm an atheist

No Problem...

we will pray for you Ma'am

Sheetal is a man!

Yeah, I heard...

And he has a big beard too.

I am such an a**hole.

Iam a dick! I am a dick!

You know Pankaja... if

we ever had children...

...perhaps it would be as difficult

to understand them as this girl...

Today's generation...

they are just incredible...

They just blurt out anything

that crosses their mind...

Yes, I did say once,

that they are more evolved than us...

They understand the world better than

us, they are better informed etc etc

But they lack any grace or dignity

You can't just vomit out

anything that comes into your head

It's quite embarrassing!

Yes, okay

I will stay away from her

Too much drama anyway.

You can't just walk

in here like this Ma'am!

I have to change his IV

Please go and wait

in the waiting room

Baboon!

Where the hell have you reached?

You are not answering your phone

and Rajafs is switched off too!

Everyone's here.

I have served the starters already...

Where are you Tara?

Ish. Rajat has been in an accident...

It's really nice. Just have a sip

Accident?

What are you saying?

Who?

He is okay right?

He is in a hospital here in Cochin

In Cochin?

Rajat?

He has had a severe head injury.

He is in a coma.

Coma?

Listen I'm coming there right away...

I'll take the first flight in the

morning and I'll be there okay...

I have to leave for San

Francisco in the morning...

Sh*t. Tara, Dileep has a flight to San

Francisco, in the morning tomorrow...

Tell her, I'm calling

my Cochin office right now...

Dileep is calling

his Cochin office Tara...

Ish! - I will call

Pushkar and ask for...

I think

Rajat is going to die

No, my Tara. My love

Only positive thoughts, okay

Listen. You just...

you just start chanting okay?

You saw it right

you know hovv much it

helped me when I was pregnant

And I'm going to start chanting

for Rajat right away... okay...

Everything is...

Good evening Uncle

Oh... Good evening...

Madam has sent tiffin...

Thank you! Thank you!

Your Madam

is very kind

I'm getting fat

Uncle. Old tiffin boxes?

Oh yes! I will just get it...

And also, hovv is Aunty?

Aunty is fine.

She will be home soon.

Doctors are very happy...

Uncle!

Doctor Nirupam wants

to talk to you...

I can't deal with his negativity

What Uncle...

Good afternoon Sir

Tara Deshpande?

One second sir..

Is everything okay?

Just shut the door and come in.

You are feeling alright?

No!

What happened?

Nothing happened

Why are you still in bed?

Come on get up.

Your phone is ringing...

You are in a really bad mood today

Lokesh.

31 calls.

Seems really determined

to speak to you.

F*** that Lokesh!

F*** all of them!

You know when that CHOIVIU

was down with jaundice...

It was me who was up all night,

taking him to the hospital.

...cleaning his puke...

hovv he used to call me his soulmate,

that ass!

And Ish! My best bloody friend!

At the time of her wedding,

you know I was the

only one supporting her...

...helping her tide through...

her relationship problems, her OCD...

...and now she is fobbing me off

with some 'Stay Positive' sh*t!

The net time someone

tells me to stay...

f***ing positive, I will...

Do you know Shiv

hovv many friends

I have on my Facebook?

1457!

And I get 250 'Likes'

on some random jackass selfie!

And do you know hovv many

followers I have on Twitter!

5,800!

And hovv many of them

are here right now?

Zero!

What is Twitter?

Twitter. ...?

It's like this... thing...

It's like this... notice board...

Ecept that it is online

and open to the public...

So you can just write

any sh*t on it...

And then other people

write back some comments...

...and sometime shitty things too!

Well, the basic idea is to get

more and more people

to follow you

Ya?

Ya.

What is the point?

I don't know what is the point...

Shiv...

I want to tell you something

I haven't told about

Rajat to my parents yet...

And neither to Rajafs mom...

The thing is that she is so much

into Astrology and all that sh*t...

I know she hates me already

She will blame me

only for his accident.

According to me, you are

better off not sharing it with them

Really?

Yeah... after all what

will she do really?

Ecept for crying and creating

some drama, poor thing...
