DISTANCES

-Dad! -Chandni, come. Come.

-How was your morning? -Lovely!

And the riding?

Riding? Absolutely, first class!

-Has the horse been behaving? -Perfectly. Just like a horse.

Good.

It takes a horse behaving like a horse and a rider behaving like a gentleman

to make the world go around.

No, you don't love me as much as I love you.

-How could you say that? -Do you remember, you were supposed

-to take me to the horse show. -Yes! Give me five minutes. Five minutes.

No, I'll give you quarter to five minutes.

I think they are good. Do you like them?

They are good. But I want a better horse.

-I want to gift it to my daughter. -OK.

-And I have only one daughter. -Yes.

-Let's go look at those. -Let's go.

Give her a salute.

What a lovely journey! Lovely weather...

What a lovely...

What happened?

What's happening?

What's the matter? Something wrong with the car?

No. The road is blocked.

-Can I do anything to help you? -You're a wizard?

I was just wondering if you could do something to help me.

-By the way, my name is Vijay. -I am Sanjay.

Now that the introductions are done, let's think ahead.

One way out would be to spend the rest of the night in the jeep.

I could inform your family to come and rescue you tomorrow morning.

Thank you so much, for this valuable advice.

After you convey my regards to my folks at home,

tell them to bring an ambulance tomorrow morning.

I don't think I'll be fit enough to use any other mode of transport.

The second way out would be for me to give you a lift you home.

Usually an enemy is given a lift home.

It's an old tradition. We will change the tradition for tonight.

-Tonight a friend will give you a lift. -Really?

-And what happens to my poor car? -No one is going to take her.

In this valley, you'll find lots waiting to steal a heart,

-no one will steal a car. -Really?

Tell me, on a stormy night like this, are you out taking a shower?

No, I just thought I'd meet you.

I like your style.

-What about me? -I like you too.

From this day, we're friends. Bosom friends.

That's a quick decision. You seem like a very clear hearted person.

My heart has taken several cleaning-outs.

-Shall we? -Come on. Give me your hand.

I hope your horse doesn't mind.

Victory to Lord Hanuman!

-Let's go. -What a lovely journey! Lovely weather.

The exercise must've done a world of good for your horse's back.

You've a brilliant sense of humor, Sanjay.

Because of this humor, no one takes me seriously.

The girls I've tried to romance have deserted me with a laugh.

-Sometimes, this humor makes me weep. -I'd never forget the girl

-who'd deserted me for my humor. -You are very brave. I can never do that.

But yes, I can treat you to coffee. Would you like coffee?

-Yes. -Can anybody give us coffee?

Anybody home? Is everybody angry? Making coffee isn't that tough.

Why are you screaming?

Could two poor souls have some coffee?

What do you think?

How will we get coffee, if you keep standing here?

Go in and scream, whistle at the servants

to make us some coffee.

Hey, man...

Chandni, what are you staring at? He isn't a ghost.

He's my friend, Vijay. We just met. But I feel, I've known him for years.

Brother, it takes all of one meeting, to be friends?

In friendship and love, who needs a meeting? First sight is enough,

to make hearts blossom, to kindle the kindred fires of passion.

and a relationship is born. But nurturing a relationship isn't easy.

It takes fortitude. Not everyone's cup of tea. And when in love--

What in love?

Now what was I saying? I think I am needlessly becoming serious.

Never mind, Chandni. Hurry up and send us coffee.

Run! It shouldn't take more than a minute. Hurry up.

Coffee's coming. Come, sit down.

I just was just sketching you.

You were smiling in your sleep. Were you dreaming of something nice?

Sheetal, am I asleep or am I awake?

I'll tell you.

So I am awake. I've been daydreaming.

A lovely morning, and there's music in the air.

A strange light fragrance fills the air.

The breeze carries a fragrance, a message, from someone.

Sheetal.

Throw open the windows, let the curtains part.

Do not stop the fragrance. Let the message come to me.

My destiny's been waiting for me all night.

-Where are you running off to? -Nowhere, Dad.

If you go away, who will bring me my glass of fresh lime juice?

Excuse me today. Let Nandu serve you. Nandu, fresh lime for Dad.

Forget Nandu. He's mad.

There's no knowing what he might give me.

Dad, please let me go.

-Where to? -I've got to meet someone.

Whom?

The tree.

-Tree? -Yes, it's waiting for me.

-A tree? Waiting for you? -Yes. It has waited all night.

-All night? -Yes, it wants to tell me something.

Chandni, might you be going--

Sir, fresh lime.

-Mr. Nandkishore? -Yes, sir?

-Is this fresh lime juice? -Yes, sir.

Yes, sir?

No! Oh, no. No. Lime, no.

Chandni, what did--

Chandni.

THERE

In silence

My heart listens

To the rhythm

The cadence

With bated breath

-In silence -In silence

-My heart listens -My heart listens

-To the rhythm, the cadence -To the rhythm, the cadence

-With bated breath -With bated breath

Take a look at life again

More wonderful than it was

More beautiful than it was

You and I had to meet

Now we've met

What skies are those?

What land is this?

When I look at you

I can barely breathe

-In silence -In silence

-My heart listens -My heart listens

-To the rhythm, the cadence -To the rhythm, the cadence

-With bated breath -With bated breath

What our lips cannot speak

Let our eyes speak Let lips feel

In the lap of fragrant blossoms

Let us pick our flowers Weave our dreams

And think no more

Oh, I can barely breathe

-In silence -In silence

-My heart listens -My heart listens

-To the rhythm, the cadence -To the rhythm, the cadence

-With bated breath -With bated breath

-I've found a horse for your daughter. -Really?

I haven't seen a better one in this area.

-Then why don't you buy it? -The owner isn't ready to sell.

Remember this, Shankar.

In this world of business, everything is for sale.

-The price should be right. -Why don't you take a look tomorrow?

Fabulous horse!

Where did you buy it?

My father bought him for me when I was a boy.

You have taken really good care of it.

Yes, I've reared him lovingly.

Would you sell him?

No sir.

You can buy another one.

You could buy another one too.

I really like this one.

I couldn't take a price for him. He is my childhood companion.

We grew up together. He's a friend, more than a friend.

So much love? For an animal?

Maybe an animal for you. To me, as dear as a brother.

I want to gift it to my daughter. Just name the price.

You are a very rich man. You think you can bid for everything?

What isn't for sale In this bazaar, everything sells.

Could you buy love, friendship and humanity?

Yes, I can buy everything.

If I want, you as well.

Proud of your money? The arrogance of wealth?

Your daughter, that you love so much.

Would you sell her if someone makes an offer?

Mannerless!

Mention my daughter, and I'll rip your tongue out! I'll kill you!

Just because I'm polite, you think you can boss me around?

What's up? Why are you screaming?

Nothing, he wants to buy Chetak.

Wants to buy? Let him try to touch Chetak. I'll rip him apart.

Forget it. I've explained it to him.

Let me do the rest of the explaining.

What are you doing?

Sir, forget them, they're lowly scum. No point talking to them.

-He came asking to buy the horse. -What does he think of himself?

Then the mountains will ask you, "How high do you want to climb?".

Chandni, perform the rituals. Sheetal, ward off the evil eye.

-What for, brother? -What foolish girls, asking me why?

I am going mountaineering with Sheila, that is no easy task.

I've to put body and soul in it. It takes one with a lion's heart.

Lion's heart? In a mouse?

Just put those shoes on, you son of a mouse!

-So what was I saying? -That you will break a leg.

And this poor thing will have to tend to it.

-Don't speak of ominous things! -It takes you ten steps to start panting.

And he wants to scale a mountain.

Girls, With a determined heart and a confident mind,

and climbing shoes and rappelling cords,

you deserve a kicking, you son of a gun!
