Bahar

Oh? So, it's 5 o'clock. The evening has finally come...

...for those who slog throughout the day like machines...

...bringing with it, some relaxation for them.

- O my God! - Ahh!

First go and learn how to drive...

- Hey Mister. It was your fault. - Yes?

- You have eyes or almonds? - You have eyes or almonds?

- -

Had my madam not pulled the brakes in time...

...your employer would have been crushed like a pancake.

Had my employer not braked the vehicle...

...your madam would have been history by now.

Lattoo.

Go, take your Lattoo (play-top)...

...otherwise I'll spin him so hard, he'll keep rotating.

- Mattoo. - Go, take your Mattoo...

...otherwise I'll break his matka (a big, round pot).

- Get out of here. - You get out of here.

- Idiot. - You idiot.

- Your father is an idiot. - Your father's father is an idiot.

- Your mother is an idiot. - Your father's wife is an idiot.

- Shut up. - You are a fool.

I'll cut your nose. Madam.

Sir. Madam.

'ANNUAL GATHERING'

It's 6:30 pm, and Lata is nowhere to be seen.

Even I am tense about the same.

Hey. That's Lata.

Why are you so late, Lata?

What do I tell you? A bull came in front of my car.

Come on. Come on.

"Enjoy this world, for this world is yours."

"This world is yours."

"Enjoy this world, for this world is yours."

"This world is yours."

"This world is yours, yes, this world is yours."

"Enjoy this world... 'Enjoy this world, for this world is yours."

"This world is yours."

"If you kick this world, it'll respect you."

"If you kick this world, it'll respect you."

"It'll bow before you, come to you and follow you around."

"Sometimes 'Namaste' and sometimes 'Ramram'."

"Sometimes 'Namaste' and sometimes 'Ramram'."

"Remember, you are the boss of this world..."

"...and it is for you to take."

"This world is yours."

"Enjoy this world for this world is yours."

"This world is yours."

"If you fear the world, it'll trouble you even more."

"If you fear the world, it'll trouble you even more."

"It'll also try to make you conscious..."

"...scare you and even laugh at you."

"It will not let you live in peace at all."

"It will not let you live in peace at all."

"So, you must walk confidently because this world is yours."

"This world is yours."

"Enjoy this world for this world is yours."

"This world is yours."

"All the nature's bounties are yours."

"All the nature's bounties are yours."

"The flowers are yours, the stars are yours."

"The moon and its light is yours too."

"The moon and its light is yours too."

"Enjoy this world..."

"Enjoy this world for this world is yours."

"This world is yours."

"Enjoy this world for this world is yours."

"This world is yours."

Queen of hearts.

Lata.

Queen of my heart.

I can bet my life for you.

Shekhar.

Shekhar. Not your cards game again.

Auntie, in my life, I've played only two games...

...one of cards and the other of the heart.

Okay. Stop talking so much. Your grandfather has written.

He writes, you haven't replied to even one of his letters.

In desperation, he's written to me.

He's not well. You will have to go to the village.

No auntie, no...

...Don't even mention the village in front of me.

I am a free bird of the city.

I don't like the village and its food.

You silly boy, just go for 2-3 days and come back.

Okay auntie, I'll go tomorrow, if you want.

Very good. And before leaving, remember to take...

...some toys for Shashi and a pencil's engine for grandpa.

Pencil's engine?

- Oh. Penicillin injection? - Yes, yes.

O Auntie. You are just...

Where's uncle gone?

He must have gone somewhere to...

...exercise his throat. He just knows two things.

First, scolding his wife? And the second giving lectures.

And where's my Lata?

She is no less. She is, after all, her father's daughter.

She must have gone somewhere to dance.

I can't say anything because I am the step mother.

Had I given birth to such a daughter...

Stop it, auntie. Don't say a word beyond that.

Whatever Lata is, you know what she is to me.

I know she is yours.

Not yet, auntie. But, with your blessings, she'll soon be mine.

I am very hopeful of this, please take care that I am not disappointed.

Don't feel disheartened. I will talk to your uncle today only.

Thank you, auntie. You are great.

I swear by you, you're the world's best auntie.

Just take care that your college crack husband does not spoil my case.

Lata. Dear Lata.

Uncle is here.

Where are all of you? Is everybody dead or what?

- Hello uncle. - Hey, Shekhar. Wow.

You have a long life. We were just praising you.

Today, not just you, but each and every house in Madras is praising me.

Wish you were there listening to my lecture.

Dear boy. It was like a streak of lightening.

Sir, it was like a fire burning.

Yeah, great. Thank you.

Yes, yes, why not? These flowers are proof of it.

Aha. They are so fragrant.

These are nothing. In our times when I used to...

...study in college, they used to...

Sir, they used to get flowers flown in from...

...Kashmir, for your garlands.

Well said. Mattoo, what is your salary?

Mattoo, get out of here.

How many times have I told you not to give...

- ...undue importance to these servants? - So, you've come?

- Uncle? - Yes?

It must have been very crowded at the function.

What do you ask, man? There were people...

...on top of each other to take a look.

Were there loudspeakers, too?

What? Loudspeakers? I am no less than a loudspeaker.

What do you think Chaudhary is?

In those times, when I was in college, I used to...

...lecture about 2 lakh people at the same time, without a...

...loudspeaker, and my voice used to reach each ear...

...as clearly as it is reaching you right now.

Dear boy. Till the time, Chaudhary Govardhan Lal...

...Patvardhan Lal's throat is fine, I am ready to give...

...100 kicks to such loudspeakers.

Yes, yes. 1000 kicks, 100000 kicks.

Well said, boy. Whatever you say Shekhar, you are...

- ...quite an intelligent man. - Thank you, uncle.

- You speak English? - Sometimes.

Bad habit. Very bad habit.

- Yes, uncle. - Idiot.

Hasn't Lata come back as yet?

Why are you even asking? Don't you know that...

...she goes early in the morning and comes back after sunset?

I am a step mother. If I say something...

...I get to hear all kinds of things.

Uh oh. Look at your attitude.

Oh. My daughter is here.

- Lata, will we get to eat ice-cream? - Sure, why not?

- Good evening, Lata. - Good evening, daddy.

May you live long, dear. Where are you going?

I'm not speaking with you, father.

Why didn't you come for the dance show?

It was such a nice show, that I can't tell you.

Excellent. Wonderful. Marvelous.

Oh? And dear, my lecture, too, was so good that...

...people were going crazy clapping.

When I cried, people cried with me.

And when I laughed, they laughed with me.

Marvelous, dangerously excellent.

- Is that so, Daddy? - Yes dear.

This is nothing. When I was in college...

...I used to be known as the uncrowned king of students.

People used to occupy the lecture hall four days...

...in advance, to listen to me speaking.

It's very sad that, you weren't there, dear, nor was your mother.

Really.

I wish all the fathers of the world were like you.

Shall we go now?

Ohh? Go, dear, go. Go and play, all of you.

Hey Mattoo. Give some almond ice-cream to them.

Bahar.

Leave it, Lata. It is more a nuisance than anything else.

Look Pyari, give me back my magazine.

Ashok's story has been published in this.

May that Ashok be doomed. It seems that guy has put a spell on you.

Pyari. Not Ashok, but Ashok's stories have me spellbound.

You wait and see, he'll get this year's first prize for this story.

Whatever prize he gets, first or last, why are you going crazy?

Hey girls, I'll tell you. Madam must have seen Ashok's photograph.

That is why her heart's going round and round.

Sudha. You are exaggerating too much.

I have told you a hundred times...

...I am not at all interested in Ashok.

I haven't even seen his face. I just love his stories.

Oh, oh.

Be careful girl.

- In the process of loving his stories... - Shut up.

Don't become a story yourself.

Shut up.

This is the village, Amua, where it rains love...

...and there are flowers everywhere.
