Bubble Gum

Let's start our Sanskrit lesson.

'It's about a time, when there was no Face book, no Cell phone...

...no TV, and no Internet.'

'There was this bench, in the school...

...a mute witness to my love! '

'It's a love story, that started with love...

...but ended with a surprising twist! '

How dare you... - Hey, sit down!

Damn it!

This is not right.

Not in here, go and play outside the classroom.

The holidays have begun...

...not celebrations of Holi (festival of colours).

Happy Holi, to all of you.

Happy Holi!

'At first, I felt like screaming from the rooftops...

...that I finally had a girlfriend! '

'But then, it dawned on me that if the love affair is an open secret...

...then it isn't so much fun! '

Did you see that? Seems like he's in love.

He'll end up like me!

'When you're fourteen, and in love...

...all you long for, is a glimpse of your girlfriend.'

'Even getting that one glimpse, was not an easy task.'

'And when I finally managed to see her my heart started pounding! '

'It seemed, my heart would jump out of my mouth and reveal my secrets.'

'Luckily, my heart never revealed anything...

...but something always went wrong...

...like this rickshaw showing up at the wrong time.'

Bye!

Bye! - Bye!

'I don't know how jenny ended up in jamshedpur...

...and how she came into my life! '

'Thanks to my sister Vinita, who introduced me to jenny.'

'Rest was up to me.'

Have you gone mad? - No, I am madly in love.

'Constable Ram was my first hurdle.'

'Greetings! What's all this? '

The school's closed, and the Holi celebrations have started!

'Constable Ram also became a part of my rotten luck.'

'And these are my future in-laws, and my future brother-in-law.'

'In a family of policemen, I was the only thief...

...always on the lookout, for a chance to steal their heart.'

'But, there was a villain in this love story, Ratan Singh Chauhan...

...a boy from the neighbourhood.'

'He would show up everyday at her house! '

Greetings, uncle! Greetings, aunty! - May God bless you!

Uncle, I've brought you a calendar.

Why did you have to do this?

Christmas, Easter, Good Friday, all the holidays are marked in red.

Is it? Now we'll never forget Christmas.

I remember everything.

Daddy, you put this up, in your room. I don't need it.

Savio, how are you doing? - I'm okay.

He's such a cute kid!

Hey! - Are you offering him a cigarette?

It's just candy.

Those are peppermints. He's just showing off!

Seems like your Holi celebrations have started.

Jenny, go and change your clothes.

Yes, do that. If you catch a cold...

...you'll not be able to enjoy the festival of Holi.

Okay uncle, I'll take your leave. I'll see you later.

Okay.

Why did you touch his feet?

I was just trying to please him.

That's the reason, uncle has chosen me for jenny.

How is that possible?

Ever since I saw her, I've decided, that she's the one for me!

If you don't believe me, ask Vinita.

Why should I ask her?

Let's directly ask jenny, who she wants to be with.

Are you crazy? If we do that, we both will lose her.

We'll both lose our chances. Idiot!

Okay you keep trying, and so will I.

Let's see who gets her attention.

By Holi, we will definitely know her choice.

Don't challenge me.

Why don't you take up the challenge?

If you're a man, then accept the challenge!

Hey!

Damn it! How dare you!

Damn it!

'In those days, to achieve what you wanted...

...you needed to be mobile, very mobile.'

'You also had to make sure you sneak past...

...loudmouths and weirdoes like Mrs. Chatterjee...

...to get to your final destination.'

'The whole exercise was nothing less than scaling Mt. Everest.'

Has aunty come back from office? - No, she comes back at 5 PM!

Do you want to talk to jenny? - Yes.

Come in.

Hello! - Hello!

Aunty, this is Vinita. Is jenny at home?

Cookie... - She is there!

It's for you.

Hello. - Cookie, it's me. Ved.

Oh!

I've just come out after taking a bath.

I got drenched in school.

Is it?

And? - And?

And, what else? - Why do you keep saying "and"?

Why are you so nervous? Talk to her properly!

Keep quiet!

I mean, did anyone come to see you?

You mean Ratan? Yes, he'd come here, to give a calendar to dad.

How do you know about it?

Had he come there to give a calendar, or please your dad?

He gave a calendar to dad.

Do you know the nickname dad has given him?

Anmol Ratan (priceless). - Keep quiet!

He tries to please everyone, doesn't he? - He's very cunning!

You won't even know, what's on his mind! - Are you angry?

Vinita was asking, when are you coming here?

Shall we meet tomorrow at 10 AM? - Really?

Yes, really!

What are you doing?

I... nothing!

Come on freshen up, have something to eat and then study.

Ved, next year you will be in junior High...

...and you're not serious about your studies!

Your dad was also upset.

'Have you heard of Lal Bahadur Shastri? '

'He struggled so much, for his education! '

'He used to swim across a river, to get to his school! And look at you! '

'Is it my fault that the Britishers didn't build a bridge? '

Are you planning to get to a hostel, after completing junior High...

...or do you plan to stay at home?

Just like Vidur, if you wanted to send me to a hostel...

...you would have done that long back.

Ved, don't compare yourself to your brother.

Why shouldn't I compare myself? You only talk about him!

I am grant... I mean, you take me for granted!

Of course, you aren't my son!

We just picked you up from the hospital!

Who knows? I was very young at that time.

Okay, don't argue with me.

Go and eat something. I have lot of work to do.

What's this?

It's my shirt. A button has come off, please stitch it.

Tomorrow morning I've to go to for a group study.

Keep it here, I'll take care of it.

Mom, it'll only take a few minutes. Please do it now.

Correcting answer sheets is an endless task!

If it only takes a few minutes, then I'll do it tomorrow morning.

Ved!

Ved, see who's at the door.

Ved!

This is the limit!

Why can't you respond, when I call you?

There is a telegram for you.

Mr. Rawat! - Yes.

Your wife is on the phone.

Hello, what happened?

Vidur is coming home tomorrow.

I just got a telegram from Mr. Gulati. - Really?

We will go the station to pick him up. I'll take the day off.

Ask Ved to be ready.

For the first time in four years, he is coming home for Holi.

This time we'll celebrate Holi in style. - Definitely!

Check your shopping list...

...make sure we buy everything. - Okay.

Ved, tomorrow your brother is coming home.

At what time? - At ten in the morning, we'll go to the station.

Give me the shirt, I'll sew the button.

There he is!

God bless you! Keep smiling.

You should take your elder brother's blessings.

I hope you didn't have any problem on the way.

I'm so happy to see you!

Where is Mr. Gulati?

Sir, there you are! How was the journey?

It was good. - Did you have any problem? - No.

Hello! - Hello ma'am!

How are things with you? - Yes, we're all okay.

Porter!

You have lost so much weight. What's wrong?

God knows, when will hostels start serving better food.

Ask him whether he would like to have Mutton or Chicken?

No, let's quickly go home. I'm getting late.

Where do you have to go? - He's has to go for a group study.

This boy is always... at the wrong time...

He says the wrong things, at the right... he says the right thing.

He's got me confused!

How much Mutton do we need, 1 kg or 2 kgs?

1 kg is enough.

Where is he running off to?

Sorry! Sorry!

Sorry!

I got so busy in my group study, that I didn't realise...

...that someone was keeping a tab on us.

What are you doing? - I'm studying.

Oh really! Is the book so far away...

...that you need a pair of binoculars to look at it?

Get me a glass of water. - Shut up! You always keep ordering me!

Let papa come home, I will tell him everything.

Oh really?

Vinita's house had all the facilities, from coffee to telephone.

Everything was free!
