Bhanumathi Ramakrishna (భానుమతి రామకృష్ణ)

I can never forget this day

because, I know where this journey would take me..

but in which way? I don't know..

I never wanted drama in life

but love - it comes with drama, by default

Hello

Ram!

The apple tv you brought last time doesn't work properly

it reboots once every 10 minutes!

Its 3 am here Bhanu.

It was snowing - Couldn't take my car..

I walked home and am damn tired

Don't act smart just because you are in the US

We have long ago stopped treating NRIs differently.

what did I say and what are you talking?

Its clear

you talk like an attention seeking NRI

and I'm offering you a reality check

why do you call me so many times when I'm in a meeting?

But I've called you just once!

Isn't that enough for disturbing the meeting?

Hello

Bhanu, I'm with a client..

shall I call you back in an hour?

Its been four hours, Ram

since you promised to call me

Sorry Bhanu

the client just left..(line cuts)

Ram!!

don't expect me to be glancing at the phone every 10 minutes waiting for your call.

I have least interest in being your 2nd priority!!

My dad loved his mother very much

He named me after her, as he loves me more..

her name was

"BHANUMATHI"

..to her name

I, from my schooling in Vijayawada to my masters in London

have given that name a personality.

I live in Hyderabad

I work as Delivery Manager for an Advertising firm

for us to present ourselves confidently,

Fitness, I believe, is important

I put on weight very easily..

so I try to be as disciplined as possible.

rather than lazing around a coffee shop

I'd prefer following business news

Bhanu!

thank you very much

What for?

for referring me for the Vietnam project..

I owe you a treat!

you would have done your work well till now

that's why you earned this opportunity.

Its better you keep doing your work well..

but still, Its better you keep doing your work well..

but still,

it was You who referred me, right.

All that was needed for that job was a profile

not a name!

Infact, I don't even know your full name.

I hate having personal conversations with office colleagues!

good luck with the project

I don't like a particular set of people

I'm not sure which "set" that is..

..may be the "mediocre"s.

Life is nothing but

the choices we make.

Everything that happened in my life till date -

I chose them!

we met at a business summit 5 years ago

Ram we met at a business summit 5 years ago

Ram

ideal boyfriend Ram

Ram

good looking, successful and rich! Ram

good looking, successful and rich!

not that I'm a 'money' person..

but I don't intend to do anything dramatic in life.

I have run out of reasons to delay marrige

is there an expiry date for my independence soon??!!

however, 5 years is a good enough time to take a decision

I'm entering into this new phase with a truly new feeling.

Hi Prakhya!

Hey Bhanu! wassup? long time..

Hey listen!

ya, tell me..

I'm about to get my periods in 2 days

ok..

I just want to skip' em for a few more days

Oh, is Ram coming?

you dont have to do it, you know!

No,

ah, then..?

my clients are coming from germany

ooh!..

I've a lot of work coming up.

oh, ok ok.

this looks like a lot of stress to deal with right now.

I understand

.ah, I'll just text you the name of the medicine.

Is that ok??

yeah, that should be fine.

yah! ok, whatsapp me.

lets catch up sometime..

yah, surething!

take care then.

you too, thank you, bye

bye bye

Hey!! he's here

go, go, go

don't be so cool Bhanu

he came from the US just for you..

you guys deserve each other

go, open the door!

er..Bhanu..

Bhanu, I'm seeing somebody else

haan!??

There is another girl in my life

Since when?

how long has it been Ram??!!

OK, 3 months.

I've been trying to tell you this since 10 days.

hang on!.. I've been trying to tell you this since 10 days.

hang on!..

3 months, is it?

its not what you're thinking it is Bhanu,

our parents are involved.. its not what you're thinking it is Bhanu,

our parents are involved..

listen! I really tried to make it work..

mm..hmmm..

I even coordinated a meeting between you and my mom

and you were rude with her too!

your mother was sarcastic in asking my age

"same as your son", I replied

she got offended for that

she didn't feel superior

I can't help it.

So, for 3 months - between her and I

you and your mom have been planning as to who's better?!

sshh...Just shut up Bhanu,please.

Ah! I get it.

a 30 yr old independent woman would be

very problematic for your mom, right?

she needs someone who watches TV serials with her and gossips about relatives

I believe she got one.

She's an interior designer..

as if I care..

ok, now don't even try making me feel guilty.

You know Bhanu, you're miserable

and you know it too

we've been in a 5yr long relationship just for namesake

but

in reality I'm just a convenience for you.

You estimated me - I'm not aggressive enough and so I can bear with you.

that's it right?

but what you don't understand is that others have expectations too!!

you never understand that!

You think you are too special and anyone would be happy with you.. that's your feeling..right?

For that matter, it is the same for you if its me or anyone else..

you just need a societial show off and to get on in life..that's all

nothing more and nothing less!!..

and yes, I compared, definitely..

but the decision making didn't take time

you know why?..

because she's beautiful,

she's caring

she's understanding

she's polite

and more than anything...

she's 24!

how's the taste?

super

nice, right?

you see, I've learnt it.

Manish - afterall who taught you, me!

Isha - shut up, you didn't teach me Manish - afterall who taught you, me!

Isha - shut up, you didn't teach me

Isha - I learnt it by myself

Manish - I have to teach you everything..

oh! is it

you remember why I brought this cream?

what??..

I feel perfectly fine.

I've moved on completely and I feel very good

it's his loss anyway.

you know what, what has happened is actually good

5 years of this and now I feel light.

I think its over.

who made this?

Manish - me

It can't be him.. Manish - me

It can't be him..

and why are you eating chocolate, you don't like it, do you?

this is all we have for breakfast today

Chocolate is a stress buster

Stressed? who is stressed? I'm not stressed

I know you're not

I'm very happy..

Hey listen, I've got loads of work to do

you guys enjoy your pancakes..
