Yaadein... Page #2

---

Your uncle is very angry.

Come, say the prayer

An artiste! That's what your son is.

Does he know how important it is...

to propitiate the Goddess of Fortunes?

- How could I? Till last year...

you were trying to propitiate

the Goddess of Bounty

Worship didn't bear fruit.

Therefore... change

The pundits say that he fell foul

of the Goddess of Fortunes last year

Worship done, She will be placated.

- The Goddess has been invoked

Seek and you shall be given

Really?

- Seek, then see

Do I speak out what I seek?

As you wish

O'Goddess of Fortunes...

You are the Mother of all

The mighty, the lowly, the rich,

the poor, are all devoted to You

The millions of poor in India

worship You

Then why do You not go there

to eradicate their poverty?

Over here, we are all so rich.

What use Your staying here?

O'Mother, desert the rich,

go to the poor

All of India awaits Thee

Actually we're all fine here.

Quite fine

All we need are

Your blessings

Ma, I'm going to call Uncle Raj.

Go on with the prayers

Saw your son's insolence?

That's the result of...

not keeping children

on a leash

You should be ashamed! Such insolence?

- Because I said the truth?

God isn't meant to be propitiated for

purposes. A prayer should be heartfelt

Where to, now?

- To Uncle Raj

Your friend, he is.

But his heart, I know

Just think. After all these years

abroad, what drives him homeward...

is sheer agony. If we aren't the ones

to share his sorrows, who else will?

Nalini, who bore Ronit?

You, or Shalini?

Oh brother-in-law...!

Your mother always said that after

all of you were married off...

she wanted both of us to retire,

and come to live in India...

here, in this farm house. And when

it's about time, she leaves, saying...

Not their Papa, be their friend "Papa"

Ma was 500 percent right!

- Papa, where did you first meet her?

And who said "I love you" first?

You or Mamma? Please, tell us

I did

Tell us, when did Mummy say

"I love you" for the first time?

You're going too far.

On one hand, you want to be Papa-friend!

On the other hand, just look at you...

Can you tell me, what if someone

says something romantically...?

What romance? The fellow

who does that gets slapped

Just get married and push off

What Papa means is that

if something like that happens...

first of all,

we'll tell Papa

Today, on my birthday, let's give each

other a promise as friends. An agreement

Didn't get that.

- No need to get worked up

What I mean to say is,

sometime or the other...

somewhere or the other, there will

surely come into your lives...

a boy who wants to marry you,

whom you want to marry

What's wrong with that Papa?

- When did I say anything's wrong?

All I'm saying is, you have every

right to marry, and I'll concede too

But...

remember one thing. The right to choose

the family he comes from...

will be mine, completely mine.

You'll give me so much, won't you?

Why Papa?

- How naive, my child!

You won't be marrying only the boy

You will be marrying into the family

The entire family. Right?

Papa is absolutely right!

Condition accepted, what?

Today, let's make a promise

to ourselves, as friends

To talk from the heart,

with an open mind

Let's be a well-knit,

friendly family

Avantika rustes up the fries

and the sweets, fast!

No fries, no sweets. First,

give us a song

Which song?

- Our favourite one

You left me all alone

and came to India

I know you would come

You come to India, you forget!

Not even a phone call...?

Idiot, remember me?

All forgotten

Our memories,

Coke-Mohobbat.com

The whole world has turned into

one dotcom, which draws closer...

Indians in every corner

of the world

Those who don't want to fall in love,

can get married straightaway

How come?

- Consider yourself. Assuming...

we are to choose for you,

a handsome worthy

Our "Shaadi.com" can tell you where

and how to find the most suitable boy

Now you come to the point! Tell us.

- Computer, advise us where to find...

a suitable, handsome boy,

the right match for Avantika

Here you are

3 boys

I like all three

Let's get all three married off

The boy in the middle is Pankaj.

Pankaj Kudesia. I know him

How come?

- We studied together In London

Presenty, he's a vice president

with Hotel Surya in Delhi

He was in London,

but he stayed Indian

Well Avantika?

- Not I

There's a boy for Sanya too.

Take a look

Find someone for our Isha too

Scan Isha into the computer

Here we go

What was that?

Talk to the groomspeople

clearly, openly

You know Isha, I can't take this

"Hahn-ji, Nan-ji" small-talk

What scant pluck I have is because

I have Ronit with me. Else...

What can Ronit do? He's a baby.

Elders talk to each other

Stop depending on him.

- But I...

TIMEOUT:
01:37:36:05

Not buts to yourself

TIMEOUT:
01:37:36:05

Not buts to yourself

Mr Raj, Ronit is to me

what my son Pankaj is

Ronit has told us everything

about Avantika. All I wanted...

was to meet you. Now we've met.

- Me too... what I wanted...

What I wanted, Ronit...

- What he wanted was to meet you...

and ask you... you know wedding matters

... if you have any conditions, demands

Exacty! Whatever it be, be sure

to ask. I'll fulfill everything

Decent parents, a good girl and

a simple wedding... my 3 conditions

Nothing more.

- Yes, and have nothing to worry

At home with us, Avantika won't face

the slightest hardship

That's exacty what I meant

Well, have I been talking excessively?

- Not a question of excesses

All I've been trying to tell him

is to make a clean breast

One colour, you know.

Differing shades create problems

Black or white. If it's black,

let it be black, completely

If it's white, let it be all-white.

But some people will ruin...

the best of situations, trying

to mix black with white

That's where the confusion arises,

and confusion leads to problems

And for every problem, finding

a solution is tough, if handy

Thanks to good company,

we have a solution

One must be alert,

but no problem...

everything can be solved

How about tea or something?

It's been quite long

How long have you been working here?

- Uncle Khama isn't a servant...

he's Daddy's friend of 35 years.

He owns a golf club

As good as servant. Mohanlal demands

loyalty from his friends

Enough! Let me leave before

another faux pas

And look at my litte master

staring me down

Because of your cross-matched socks

"What riddle is this?"

"Why are such strange things

happening?"

"My restessness..."

"My restessness, my loneliness"

"In my restessness

I am so lonely"

"What strange breeze blows

this year?"

"Try as much as I will,

but my feet are unsteady"

"Why do these thoughts

cross my heart...?"

"When I see my friends

wearing the hema...?"

"Makes me wish

I could wear it too"

"What riddle is this?"

"Why are such strange things

happening?"

"The days are too short,

these nights too long"

"Before the monsoons

it has begun raining"

"In my dreams
