Ram, Tanya j ust

got back from the U S.

She was getting a design

degree at Parson's Uni versity.

She's brilliantl

I told her to join my com pany,

but she says she is still thinking..

This generation, I tell you..

W ants to be independent..

Sidharth? I Made any plans

for your future yet?

Excuse me.. Hello. A isha?

W hat's up? W hen did you get a phone? I

Busy manl So, Mehra, your son's

all grown up now, huh?

W hen is he taking

o ver your business?

W ho knows?

He's also still thinking..

Hi. - Hey, thanks A isha.. you keep

rescuing me from e very boring party.

By the way, you were right.

The flat's looking really nice.

So A isha..

it's the middle of the night..

you and me.. alone in your apartment..

what's going on?

Sid.. I feel silly saying this..

.. but I just didn't want

to be alone tonight.

You see, tomorrow,

well in ten minutes actually..

It's my birthdayl I've ne ver been

alone on my birthday before..

Your birthdayl?

W hy didn't you tell me before?

W e would ha ve gone out

and really partiedl

W ell, this is kind of a party, isn't it?

You, me and two cups of tea?

Yeah.. but something's still missing.

W hat?

W e still ha ve ten minutes

though, don't we? - Yes.

Ok thenl

Sid, this is so stupidl

W hat are you doing?

Don't turn around, A isha.

You better not be

messing up my kitchenl

No no, it's very clean.

Spotless.. just gi ve me ten seconds.

A isha..

Happy Birthday A ishal

Thank you Sid.

W hat for?

You've done so much for me.

If there's e ver anything

I can do in return, just ask, ok?

A nything?

Ok, not 'anything'I

You're a good friend, Sid.

gan I ask you something, A isha?

A sk away..

You and I.. we've become friends now,

which is great.

But if you think about it..

.. we could ' ve become more than friends..

So, why do you think

that ne ver happened?

Sidl It just didn't.

W e're better off as friends, anyway.

Besides, I didn't really think I could..

fall in lo ve with someone

like you.. That's why..

W hy not?

I mean, I'm kinda perfect.

No seriously A isha..

what's wrong with me?

There's nothing wrong with you..

Sid, I don't want to talk about this.

You'll feel bad..

W hy would I feel bad?

It's not as if I'm in lo ve with youl

gome on, we can talk about this..

Okl I think.. you're still a kid.

A bit immature.. childish.

You're just not what I'm looking for.

Ok, this is going to be funl

W hat are you looking for, A isha?

I guess someone who is..

independent, for starters..

Someone with a career,

a goal in life.

Somebody I can relate to.

In short, a MA N.. not a boyl

Basically, the exact opposite of mel

Basically.. You're the

wrong profile for me, Sid.

A ctually, you're right.

I'm too young for you.

You should go out with

someone your own age.

I knew you were going to feel badl

By the way,

how old do you think I am?

Thirty.

Seriously? I

- Yeah..

I'm 27.

A nd if you bug me any more,

I'm throwing you off this terrace..

Relaxl I was just kiddingl

gome now, make a birthday wish.

W hat birthday wish..

I just hope I get this job..

You're next.

Yidhi Nayak?

A isha Bannerjee.

A isha Bannerjee.. Right.

You've already had an inter view here?

Then why wait 2 weeks

for the second one?

Uhh, you were busy,

Sir.. That's why..

Oh yes of course..

I was busy.

But, you know.. W ell, you should

know that I'm a very busy man.

My last assistant, Edna..

She was brilliant.

A bsol utely brilliant.

A nd then she had to go

and get brilliantly pregnantl

My bad luck, I suppose.

A nd your good luckl

So, A isha Bannerjee, your

application letter seems interesting..

But your resume is pretty weak.

Two months at the

galcutta State Library? That's it?

Yeah but I was also the editor

for my college newspaper for 2 yearsl

I'm talking about actual ex perience.

Serious work.. like we do here.

I am a workaholic. I'm extremely

hard to work for, Ms. Bannerjee.

Think you could keep up?

A bsol utely..

I won't disappoint you, Sir.

I've come here all the way

from galcutta only to become a writer..

I will learn much from you.

W riter? W hy did you apply for this job

if you wanted to become a writer?

A n assistant's work is very clerical.

gleaning up my desk

doesn't require any creati vity.

Besides, this is a magazine

about Bombay..

.. and you're not e ven from here..

But, you weren't from Bombay

either when you joined this magazine.

A nd now you're

the ghief Editor here.

I know e verything about you.

I applied for this job

after a lot of deliberation.

In fact, I've pictured myself gi ving you..

.. this inter view

a thousand times already.

I just didn't imagine

that I'd be this ner vous..

.. and you'd be this good looking..

Belie ve me.. I'll clean your

desk very creati vely.

God knows, it needs

a good cleaning. So.

Sidl I've got it..
