My Birthday Song

It’s been a year.

and like every year,

we had a party at home.

The same old friends,

the same music,

food and celebration...

and the same old jokes.

Dude, Delhi’s rain, politics and traffic...

are so unpredictable.

I won’t be surprised if it snows next month...

and we have to walk around in snow boots!

I don’t see her.

She’s gone to see her grandmother, she’ll be here soon.

Oh. And the kids?

They’re with Ritu.

They'll be here soon.

Have you got any tests done?

Yes! On Monday when he was at school,

he got fever.

And then, I took him to the hospital for a blood test.

The doctors confirmed what we were scared of.

Don’t worry. He will get better soon.

His ad agency is also doing so well.

Look there!

When did this happen?

Well, it just did.

What do you mean by that?

or else Ritu will kill me

for telling you before her.

Where have you reached?

-When? -That I don’t know. She’s not telling me.

Give me the phone. I’ll tell her.

“Achala, will you marry me?”

Could you give the phone to Rajiv please?

Excuse me. Yes, Ritu?

Where have you reached?

Her fever is still very high.

Should I come over?

I was so excited!

she needs you more.

Birthdays come around every year.

Hey! I was on time this time.

I was outside on a call for half an hour.

I swear.

Really? Show me your phone.

Wait.

Sandy’s from Toronto.

By the way,

Here. Happy Birthday.

What is this?

Are you giving me blessings?

Dude! Bali. Three nights, four days.

Gift from you?

Did I say that?

It’s from Ritu.

I’m just the travel agent.

What do you mean, "knew it"?

We’re getting married.

Oh no!

Why?

"To the dude! The greatest friend!"

Hey, where are you going?

It was great fun.

Wait for a while?

No man, I have to wake up early for work.

I’ll drop her.

Don't be silly bro, wouldn't have missed it for anything

But, you were still late.

Don’t look at me like that, I’m married.

Okay, listen!

Look, Sir.

Someone spilled their drink.

Vijay, clean it tomorrow.

Sir, just two minutes.

Clean it in the morning.

You can go now.

Okay, Sir.

Look how it has captivated me

A stray thought

An intoxicating look

Has captivated me

Look how it has captivated me

Among so many conversing eyes

Why did you pick me, in this moment?

Among so many conversing eyes

Why did you pick me, in this moment?

In your embrace, I have lost myself...

I have lost control over my heart beat

This night is slipping away

Lost in the throes of passion

This night is slipping away

Lost in the throes of passion

What are these desires that tease me?

Taking me away from myself

A stray thought

An intoxicating look

Has captivated me

Look how it has captivated me

This quiet night is hiding something

Bathed in moonlight

This game of desires which has begun

No one can tell, where it will stop

A stray thought

An intoxicating look

Has captivated me

Look how it has captivated me

Sir?

Sir?

Sir? Someone’s here to see you.

Sir?

Sorry Sir, Happy Birthday!

The caterer is here for tonight's party.

Tonight's party?

Yes, Sir.

He’s here to discuss the details for your birthday party tonight.

Birthday party? Today?

Madam has asked me to confirm the order for tonight’s party.

Vijay, where has the madam gone?

Sir, she’s gone to visit her grandmother with the kids.

Grandmother is very sick.

Sir... the advance payment.

Sorry, my wife is not at home.

Could you please confirm the order with her over the phone?

Sure, but could I get an advance payment?

Sure, how much?

Seven thousand rupees would be enough.

My birthday's today?

Sir, your breakfast.

I don’t want it.

Is it his birthday or his funeral?

Yes, Annie?

Sir, at what time will you be here?

The auditions are ready, we have to call the clients by noon.

I’m on my way.

Sir, everything alright?

Yeah, all okay. I just haven’t slept well.

I’ll see you at the office.

Show me more.

Greetings. I am Sapna. I am from Meerut.

And this is my profile.

I am 5'5" and I have done theater act. Thank you.

Annie, it’s a commercial for perfumes, not detergents!

Pull out the model database.

Yash, don’t just stare at your food. Start eating.

Okay baby, I’ve spoken to the caterer.

When are you coming home?

I don’t know, granny is still unwell.

Hopefully everything will be fine by the evening.

How do you know?

I told you?

Yes.

When?

You desperately need memory tablets.

Who is this?

Oh! How did this get here?

She had featured in one of our earlier ads.

I’ll take it out.

What's this, bro? You're calling me on your own birthday?

Couldn’t wait for my call or what?

-Okay listen… -Shoot.

I’m going to ask you something,

but please don’t ask me any questions.

Yeah, yeah, tell me.

Are you bringing someone along to the party tonight?

You bum! Do you know her?

Why?

I don’t know.

A lot of strange things are happening since morning.

Are you alright?

Could you give me her number?

She’s staying at the Radisson Blu Plaza.

I’ll see you in the evening.

You seem to be in quite a hurry, what happened?

What's happened? Have you done something?

Where are you going?

-Sir... -Show me your license.

What are you looking up for?

Wake up! Concentrate on the road.

And drive carefully.
