Hum Tum (हम तुम)

You and I..

Because I love you

Boys get together and go out Girls get together and chat

How will we get together?

Deep in my heart you and I

You and I..

Daylong of longings whenever you're nowhere near

Who all were you with?

So if you love me?

Why didn't you profess your love and you fought me off?

Now come into my arms

Boys get together and go out Girls get together and chat

Deep in my heart you and I

First of all God created the word.

Then he went off to sleep over it..

and He conjured up a guy and He was glad..

..that he rested for some more days-

That's when He made His biggest mistake

He created a Girl-

Which done He lost his sleep. So we lost our sleep too. For good

And the world was split into two halves

girls and guys like you and I

You and I..

So what do we do about .. you and I?

Renowned cartoonist Karan Kapoor's debut novel "Hum-Tum".-

is a national bestseller

First week sales crossed 10 000 copies

Publishers say that they have orders of ten thousand more.

Karan Kapoor joins the press in a first look after this grand success

Vedika from Mumbai for NDTV India-

How does a cartoonist turn into an author?

Tried cartoons now I'm trying words

hoping to understand .. women someday

Come to grips with that understanding?

Hopefully after a few more books

And you'll write only on women?

Anything better more interesting?

Notwithstanding your digs at girls.. - indeed..

I think your novel is woven around.. your real life experience.

Look.- when love is requited.. there's no story left to be told.

A failed romance isn't worth talking about

And unrequited love..?

True love never goes unrequited

it's consummated one day or another-

Because life's a long while

Many such romances in your life?

Only one object of romance-

But the romances she sparked were many

Mamma! - Silence

Mamma enough - Rhea stop it

My daughter is going abroad.-

Who else in the family ever went?

Who else in our colony?

And listen.. I've packed lots of snacks for you

Spiced grams pickles sweets

Eat almonds every day sharpens your brains

I'll miss you Mamma

I will also child

Your attention please..

..this is the last and final call for passengers traveling..

Hey gorgeous

Karan where have you been?

Well.- - Something forgotten back in the car? - Yes

Oh car keys

You see.- - Don't even start

I don't care whoever she was.

Who said I was with any girl?

Hey who said I was with some girl?

Karan listen have you kept your passport and tickets carefully?

Mom I'm going to America. To study.

I think I can take care of myself

Rubbish

Oh no! Hey brother

Don't hey brother me okay?

I got your passport tickets

What would I do without you Mihir?

Grow up okay?

Sure Karan grows up someday

Hear that?

Thank God Shalini is in New York.

She'll take care of you

Don't remind me. - She's your girlfriend

So? Never take girls too seriously

Girls are like buses.

There's one every two minutes traffic permitting

Karan I have told you many times.-

..I disapprove of your attitude towards girls.

And I've told you that before Girls.-

Are mothers sisters- I know. But not my sisters

Karan You will learn to show respect to women.

Says who that I don't respect women?

I respect you I respect Indira Gandhi

Mother Teresa Mother India Miss India

Miss India. Ooh miss India. - Karan.

Keep Him on your desk.

Lord Ganesha Thank you for sparing me that melodrama

Look

One minute Rhea..

Mamma enough. I'm off - Listen

I'll be late for my flight

You always do that- - if you won't stop I'll beat you. Wait.

Oblations from our Goddess of Succour.

Give it to the poor in America

Mamma! - Never argue my child.

Do one good deed then you'll deserve a good in turn

My tigress- Bye wish you good luck-

Hoist those pants

Hello! Yes one minute.

Your dad - Your husband-

I wish you'd mention him with a smile

Hello hey dad.

Yes I am all set-

Yes I got the passport.

..I was thinking this time for a change

..why not holiday with me in New York?

Yes okay great.

I'll see you there bye dad. Bye.

is it on time? - Yes I think.

The way he talked I think he misses you

in all these seven years

did he care to call me up even once?

Anyway Better for you if you stay out of this mess.

Concentrate on your studies- - Yes studies

Bye mom- - Bye dear. Take care.

Mihir you'll take care of mom?

Like you always take care of her?

Come on. You make nice-sounding parting shots

like take care of Ma etc.. etc.

Bye Karan- - Take care

Mom- - I love you dear-

I love you too mom. I love you- - Yes yes. I love you- - I love you.

I hope he does fine

You're worrying about him? I pity the girls out there

They don't know what's coming their way.

Not bad. Do good and get good.

All the best Karan.

There is vermillion on your forehead-

Thanks.

Don't say hi out of the blue

Wait a minute in fact don't even glance at her.

She might be watching you only.

Oh my oh god shit.

Praise the name of The Lord Preserve the name of The Lord

Whatever hundred sardars say-

Sorry

Not one nice airhostess

Boring.

"I.. I and you.-"

Excuse me- - Sorry sorry.

When it's too late to even say hi..

Then you ask for a magazine

Excuse me can I have a magazine? Please.

Yes sure-

Thank you.

Excuse me sir- Would you like to have tea or coffee?

Let's make a guess. You're the tea type

One tea for the lady. - Okay sir.

One coffee please with very little sugar brown sugar..

..and just about two spoons of milk.

Okay madam I'll just get it for you.

Nice you avoid tea. You know tea types?

My mother prefers tea

Correct.

Just what I was about to say. Tea types

are conservative mothers grandmothers

Coffee- Coffee is a modern girl's drink.

Today's woman prefers coffee not tea

I am glad you are a modern girl. I like modern girls.

Modern girls are modern you know.

Hello.- sleeping beauty. Do you want to come to Khandala? Hello..

Excuse me- Hi- - Hi.

Our New York fight is six hours away

Airport squatting is boring.

Let's take a tour of Amsterdam

You got a visa- - How did you know?

I checked your passport. - What? You rifled my bag?

You were asleep. I was bored-

So I thought how I'd kill some time

How dare you.

You don't open a lady’s handbag-

Why what's inside a lady's handbag?

Okay I stand corrected. I'd never do it again

I am sorry.

I can't believe you rifled my bag- - I said I'm sorry

Where are you headed? - I thought we'd sight see Amsterdam
