"Whatever this life be.."

"But what use is it to me?"

"Whatever this life be.."

"But what use is it to me?"

"What people live for.."

"What people live for.."

"I merely lack that name”

"One that has no desires.."”

"what kind of youth is this...?"

"One that has no desires.."”

"what kind of youth is this...?"

One that has no beginning.."

"This is one such tale"”

"Neither information of outcome..”

"No news of outcome”

"nor of conclusion”

"I remained thirsty in my own neighbourhood”

"While it kept raining”

"I remained thirsty in my own home"

"While it poured outside”

"I pined like somebody lonesome in a fair"

"Don't even ask how..."

"Don't even ask how..."

"I spent the day till evening”

God, you know I open the door to your house every morning

And there's light in your house.

God, may I ask you something? When will you light up my life?

I don't understand anything. - Neither do I, Amar.

Because you can do everything

You are handsome, young and educated.

You have also been yachting champion

But what is the point of all tips?

You don't want to do anything.

I am worried..

How will I face your father and..

My friend Ram Prakash after my death

The man whose father was the Dean of the University..

He cleans tables and chairs in my church...?

It doesn't befit you.

Had your parents not passed away in that car accident..

And if they had been alive today..

They too would give you this same advice.

Father, I've never stopped you from giving me advice.

This is your right.

You raised me.

You educated me. You are like my parent.

Bluff me some more. Use your love and fool the father more.

But once in a while do something worthwhile.

I heard the Yachting Club owner say, he needs an instructor.

The starting salary is Rs. 300!

No Father, I need a goal for my life, not a job.

The day I find that... - You'll pluck stars from the sky.

No, that day the stars will come walking to me.

For now, your job is good enough

I get three meals a day..

Pocket money, clothes to wear..

And no job is too little.

Take your cross, it's made of real gold.

Would its' importance be reduced if it were made of wood?

No. - Very smart.

You're getting very smart but don't reach philosophy to me

Go on now. Go. - Okay, father.

Dear God, now you take care of him

I am tired.

How much milk did you get? -5 kilos.

Listen, before the customers come add 5 kg s water to it.

I know master, that's what the business is about.

And use half kilo pure milk to make tea for me and Amar.

He must be on his way.

Three is Gopi?

Tell me.. -Yes?

5 kg s water in 5 kg s milk and 1/2 kg removed from that..

How do you sell tea to customers without sugar, milk or tea leaves..

Tea, piping hot tea. - Here comes the tea.

Please give me some hot gram too

Tell me. - What?

Oh that..very simple.

I've learnt a little.

Drinking strong tea weakens the heart

Too much sugar gives..diabetes.

I explain this to the clients and they...become happy.

As for the milk..these days cows eat less grass

and drink more water!

So this has water...? - This is pure.

You've become too smart.

Here..is your money.

For the past ten years, you've been giving me this coin

And I've been returning it to you

It must have gotten scratched out

It's my duty to pay you for the tea

And the duty of your friendship is to return my money.

Give it back. Give it back to me!

Good. Now eat some gram and get healthy.

Where are you?

What the heck are you saying?

It's true. Look, this girl wants pen friends from India.

Pen friends..what is that?

Donkey. This means making friends through letters.

It's modern fashion. You won't understand.

Really?

I am going to write to this girl.

You'll write? - Yes. Why?

It's an old book. Many people would have seen this pretty picture

And read this address.

And sent loving letters.

It is said, Ghalib had his own style of expression

Hi grandma. Hi, grandpa I am back.

Mummy, what's the matter? Didn't you go to office today?

You seem to be sorry to see me here.

So you should be for I have laid my hands on all these letters!

The scheme of your grandparents has flopped.

Every one of these letters has come to you from India.

Why? When you know I hate Indians so severely!

Why this pen friendship with them?

If you think through these letters..

You will trap my naive daughter to an Indian..

Then you are mistaken.

It's wishful thinking. I'll never let that dream be fulfilled!

My daughter will only marry an Englishman!

Not with a petty Indian! - Daughter-in-law!

You can say what you want to us.

But you have no right to abuse all Indians.

If you love India so much, why don't you go back to your India?

I would go back.

I would have gone back if my granddaughter didn't live here.

She's the only memory of our son.

Alas. I wish our son had married..

Why did you stop? Why don't you say it?

'If only my son had married somebody else.'

Your son chose me.

It was an error on my part to spend 12 years..

Of my youth in that god-forsaken place India!

Where you take permission from society before taking a breath!

I won't let my daughter commit the mistake I did.

Mr and Mrs. Rai, this is my last warning.

If I hear either of you talk to Sonia about India...

that will be your last day in this house!

I was always against this marriage

When I'd tell you, this woman isn't right for my son...

you paid no heed to me.

And today look how she scolded us before our grandchild!

She hates us!

Our luck..

That our son got an English wife.

He's gone and... - Don't cry.

That's in the past.

Who can go against fate?

But yes if our son was alive...

his bride would not dare.. - Grandpa..

I'm sorry grandpa and grandma..

You had to listen to all this because of me!

We'll keep listening.

We'll put up with everything.

Till we get you married to a good Indian boy.

Doesn't matter if your mother tore those letters

We've had your name and address printed in many Indian papers.

Now many more letters will come.

And I won't let your mother lay her hands on those letters!

Beautiful maiden..

Saw your picture in the magazine

And I was wonder struck.

'The happiness you find in your backyard is nowhere else.'

Let me see! - The car has come!

Darling daughter!

Come fast!

The postman wasn't giving the letter

Your grandpa.. - Troubled the postman.

I put my hand in the bag and quickly got out a 50 p

I gave it to him and he gave me the letter.

Hurry. Your mother must be on her way!

Come..open the letter!

Grandma, there's a post car inside it.

Look...this is Nainital.

Yes, take a look. - Really? Nainital!

Hey, this is our Nainital!

Dear, this is our Nainital. We used to live here.

We had a little house here.

Look..this is Sherwood College.

Your father used to study here.

He studied in this college for four years!

And here's the lake! - This is the Nainital Lake.

Isn't it beautiful?

And this is the Boat club.

Do you remember I married you and took you to Nainital?

I remember everything. The roads snaking away...

Those tall trees..

Remember how you forcibly made me ride a horse?

You laughed aloud and I cried our loudly!

Do you recall we'd go to Diana's Peak in the morning?

To see the sunrise!

The gentle rain in the winters..

And we clinging close under an umbrella.. - I recall it!

We'd be close because of the cold!

Let's see what this letter from Nainital says..

What's this...?

Beautiful maiden, these are my eyes..

If you like these eyes and they steal your peace of mind..

And take the sleep out of your eyes...

Really...?

You'll get the second installment of this picture.
