" From the vales beyond one hears the chime of anklets"
" The wind carries the sound of quarreling bangles"
" From the vales beyond one hears the chime of anklets"
" The wind carries the sound of quarreling bangles"
" A countenance that haunts me in my dreams"
And drives me nuts
" It teaches me to write on blank pieces of paper"
Gradually turning me into a poet
" She is the first sunbeam of the morning"
" She's the lotus blossoming in the lake"
" She is the first sunbeam of the morning"
" She's the lotus blossoming in the lake"
I will sing for her
She's the poem of my life
She steals into my heart
My heart belongs to her
" She gives me words to fill blank paper"
Gradually turning me into a poet
She's the melodious breeze
She's the voice in my songs
She's the melodious breeze
She's the voice in my songs
Her story plays on my lips
" She's an instrument filled with love"
She sings the song of love for me
My heart belongs to her
" She gives me words to fill blank paper"
Gradually turning me into a poet
- Do you know..? - What?
Only today I realised my voice is magical
- What are you saying? - That's right.
Today even the camels were swaying at my song.
The breeze too was dancing.
" Not only that, every person got up and started dancing."
what are you talking about?
" Sister-in-law, had you been there you too would have danced."
I can't follow a word.
- Honest.. - Dear wife..
Will you ever let him grow up?
Would you rather keep him in your lap all the time?
What have I done?
Let him do something on his own.
Now he even has a job.
Soon we have to get him married.
You don't have to worry about my marriage.
I've got married.
What..what did you say?
You got married without telling us?
To whom?
" To my voice, my songs."
He is mad.
Take him to an exorcist.
And treat him for his madness.
" Doesn't matter. No problem, brother."
Make fun of me today.
Tomorrow if this madman doesn't turn the world mad..
" Then I'm not worthy of my name, Arjun Singh!"
" No, my son... Explain to him"
I'm not poking fun at him. I'm explaining to him.
Don't dream the dreams that never come true.
These dreams hurt when they break.
I can't bear to see you hurt.
The question doesn't arise.
First listen to my song.
" Your song? No, I'd rather not."
- Would you like to hear? - Yes.
- I'd love to. - Get my guitar.
- I'll just be back. - Brother...
Good day, Arjun.
Yes?
The manager says tourists are expected.
Take the bus to the airport.
All right I'll get the bus to the airport.
Get my coat and turban.
Pamper him some more. Can't fetch his own coat.
- My son is going to work. - Work!
- Now what? - Hear my song..
Work comes first. Songs later.
Remember you didn't hear my song!
One day the world will have to hear me sing.
Temper the pulses fast.
My singer has arrived. Turn off the radio!
Brew some tea. My singer is here.
Which radio company have you applied to now?
- Uncle.. - Welcome.
Get some tea. My brave is here.
" Sit, my child. Hurry with the tea."
I'll have tea but have I received any mail?
" - Did the postman come? - Yes, he did."
Don't fret. God will send a post man who'll take you away from us
...far on the path to success.
Have some tea.
That is fine but when?
Maybe today itself.
You keep giving me hope.
But now I'm so anxious I can't wait anymore.
I'm not the least interested in this job.
" Good God, quickly send my pal to Mumbai."
Let all others fail in comparison to his success.
" Thanks, thank you."
Forget the thanks and tell me..
Have you prepared any new song?
Absolutely. Such a great song...
" If I sing it for you, you.."
- What? - You'll lose your sleep.
Then it's fine. I imagined something else.
" whatever the meaning, you sing the song."
Who could be better than you?
There's none better than you
Stop the song. The bus is here!
Make tea. The passengers are here!
Your song got me in trouble.
Don't worry. God will help.
Where is the hotel bus?
It's been 2 hours.
It would be better to go to Punjab.
Driver! Is this the time to come?
Two hours in this heat scrambled our brains!
Is this the way you hotel staff treat tourists?
" Firstly, talk politely."
Secondly this bus doesn't belong to your Pop!
You're a driver and you abuse my Pop!
You have no idea of my temper!
what will you do?
Give you a tight slap!
He slaps!!
This bus belongs to neither your Mom nor your Pop!
It's for the staff of Geeta Travels
And their leader is Ms Naina.
" Clear, Blind Bat?"
- Are you Naina? - I am Naina.
He slapped me!
I can slap you the way you slapped my friend.
But I don't argue with petty men.
Whom are you calling petty?
" I'm a chief, Thakur Arjun Singh."
I admit I erred but you don't have to call me petty.
You are insolent. I will complain about you.
I'm not worth my salt if I don't get you fired.
Sit in the bus. Don't mess with him.
" If he leaves in a rage, it will be holiday at airport."
" Brother, she's not serious."
" Her head is heated up. Captain, sit in the cockpit."
- Sit in the bus. - Come on.
Hot enough outside Let's stay cool.
Come, sit!
Friends, I'm very sorry! Because of this stupid driver, we're...
Oh, my God! Ouch!
Idiot! Is this the way to brake?
This is Jaisalmer. A camel walked across.
In case of an accident the people would have beaten your brains out.
But you can drive slow.
Is this the way..?
Don't try to teach me.
If you have to complain about me I'll give you enough reasons.
I misbehaved with you.
" I drove rashly, took you to the jaws of death!"
And if I don't complain about you..?
Then I'll show you how hospitable we can be.
I'll drive you to the hotel as if you're traveling in a palanquin.
And I'll tell you the story of each monument and rock like a guide.
Then say we weren't at fault.
You reached the airport before time
And drove so carefully we felt we were sitting in mom's lap.
And he gingerly patted my cheek.
Ladies and gentlemen!
I am Arjun Singh, your driver-cum-guide.
Now I will show you my home city, Jaisalmer.
'It's so beautiful!'
- Tired of seeing ruins. - But you enjoyed it.
- Good-night. Bye. - Bye! See you! Good night!
Good-bye, man.
You've exhausted us in 3 days.
" Barring two, every joint aches."
- Sorry.. - I'll take 2 pegs....
- and then. - Okay! Bye, Manto! See you! Good night!
Bye! - Good night.
I'll moan so much that nobody will get any sleep.
- I will be loud all night long... - Thank you very much, Arjun Singh.
You're an excellent guide.
No need for thanks. I feel proud showing my hometown.
- How are you? - Fine.
- All well? - Yes.
- Sing us something new? - For you?
I'll make you happy.
Terrific. You sing very well.
I swear that was good.
He also plays well.
" - Really well? - Course, very well."
Why did you stop singing? You were singing so well.
" - I was just humming. - Come on, sing."
" The moon and the stars the flowers and the dew.."
Who is better than you?
" The moon and the stars the flowers and the dew.."
Who is better than you?
" Any weather, any season.."
There's none better than you
" The moon and the stars the flowers and the dew.."
Who is better than you?
The moonlit night of a desert is spectacular.
