Shankaracharya temple is right at the mountain top.
- What is the menu? - Whatever you want, sir?
Hurry up and fetch 3 plates fritters and 3 cups of tea.
- You should've ordered for beer. - No, whiskey would be better.
At this time?
One must be always intoxicated in Kashmir.
- That is some sight! - Wow!
Prashant, do you remember that valley where we'd met for the first time?
Yes, this was where I got hooked.
Did you notice that women are no longer monogamous?
- Why are you so envious? - It's a natural feeling.
We are feeling left out.
- They are spoilt brats. - Don't pay them much attention.
- I'll teach them a lesson. - Forget it.
Excuse me.
- Where are you from? - From Delhi.
- Why? - You seem to be from rich families.
But I'm sorry to say, that your parents are dead.
What nonsense are you talking? Our parents are fine.
Had it been so you wouldn't have been so insolent.
You are definitely orphans.
- Don't touch the fritters. - Only one?
- Don't you dare touch it? - I can't resist it.
Gentleman, hold this. And don't go.
- Sudhir, leave it. - Prashant, don't interfere.
- You dared to hit at us. - I can do a lot more.
Don't try to act smart in my presence. Now, get lost.
Waiter, come here. Give me the fritter.
Delicious!
This sari is for you.
Why? Am I the one who's going to America?
Don't get upset with me. Sudhir bought this sari for you.
Why did you buy me this sari?
You're the first woman who's displeased on receiving a sari.
When Prashant leaves for America,...
Shut up and tell me the reason for your not going to America?
Prashant, this woman is very persistent.
- Do you want to know the reason? - Yes.
Come and sit here.
You are newly weds and he's leaving you and going.
He'll definitely pine for you.
And it's possible that he'll try to find in someone else's arms.
What? Do you have any such plans?
No, but who can predict the future? lsn't it, Sudhir?
I'm sure this will be the scenario and I wish it to be so.
- That'll really gladden you? - Certainly!
If he'll find solace in other's arms then I too will have you.
Insolent! You are only talking nonsense.
He's incorrigible!
Aren't you ashamed to encourage such lousy pranks?
Kavita, only two types of people can play such pranks.
Either those who are of a devious mind or those who are clean hearted.
And do I need to tell you which category Sudhir falls into?
I can go tension free leaving you and father in his care.
So you'll have nothing to worry you there?
Won't you wait for anyone? Not even the post-man?
Promise to write me a letter every week.
No, I'll write you one letter in a fortnight.
Then make it one letter every 3 days.
Once a week was fine.
- Promise to write a letter daily. - Okay.
Father, here are your medicines.
The album is a unique thing which brings back all nostalgic memories.
Though I haven't met Prashant since 10 months,...
I can actually visualize him.
Why are you so glum? It's just a matter of a few more days.
Oh yes, I'm the only one glum here!
The rest of the household is very happy.
He's left sorrow in his wake.
You still do talk at times but Sudhir's become very quiet.
Son, I'd advised you bed rest.
But I'm fine.
True to your words the fever subsided after taking the medicine.
Wasn't I right?
Why hasn't Meena's fever subsided though she too had the bitter pill?
Her fever will also subside. Come, let's go to her.
- Greetings, doctor uncle! - Greetings, child!
Let me see if your fever has subsided.
- Your fever is subsiding. - Uncle, her fever is subsiding?
- Only the tail end is left. - Coward!
Now you realize the magic of the bitter pill.
- Uncle, do you never fall sick? - Sometimes I do fall sick.
- Then who prescribes you medicines? - No one.
In that case, I'll prescribe the medicine to you.
- Will you let us treat you? - Certainly.
- Then give this to me. - Here it is.
Take a deep breath, child.
Let me check your eyes, child.
Now stick out your tongue, child.
Not like this but open your mouth wide.
Our child has the entire set of teeth.
Sir, there's an urgent call from Mrs. Chaturvedi.
- Children. I'll just come. - Give me this, child.
- I'll come immediately. - What's the matter, Sir?
I suspect that uncle has suffered a heart attack.
You must be in pain, father?
I've informed Sudhir. He must be on his way.
Daughter-in-law, I don't think I'll survive this.
- Father, don't talk too much. - Let me talk.
Look, don't feel offended, though Prashant is your husband,...
I know him very well,...
he's slightly weak and buckles under pressure.
So, under trying circumstances always depend on Sudhir.
Sudhir, you've come. I want to talk to you.
- Lie still. - Hear me out.
Promise me that you won't let Prashant know about this.
Only 6 months are left for his term to get over.
Uncle, you know that such talks anger me.
Get well and then talk to your heart's content.
I'll call up Dr Kapoor.
- The phone is not working. - It was working a while ago.
I'll go and fetch the doctor.
Sudhir, listen to me. He went away!
Daughter-in-law, he puts a bright front but is actually very grieved.
Take care of him.
When I'd brought him home, everyone was against it,...
saying that one day,...
he'd betray me.
Because you are aware of the circumstances of his birth.
I disregarded their advise.
And on his part he never betrayed me.
Bring me your mother-in-law's photograph from there.
We were late by half an hour.
- Where had you gone? - To meet Dr. Ibrahim.
Since he's migrating to lsrael I'm planning to buy his nursing home.
- I don't want this life. - Means?
I've realized the road to success in our field is through unfair means.
- Continue talking. - I will.
Despite a degree from America I couldn't start my own practice.
- Why are you so hasty? - I am,...
But now I'll play the game by my rules.
If we own a nursing home and give commissions to all eminent doctors,...
only then will we taste success.
Shall I make for you too?
Prashant, is this the only route to success?
To succeed you must grab all opportunities that come your way.
Father sent me to America to become a qualified doctor.
I wasn't even present on his death bed.
But I'll definitely fulfill his wish.
Just a minute. Not here.
Your sentiments will spell your death kneel.
Whatever!
But how do you plan to buy Dr lbrahim's nursing home?
I'll sell off this house.
You mean you'll sell your ancestral home.
All this makes no sense with father gone.
- Isn't it true, Sudhir? - As you wish.
Your consent's also needed as you're also the heir to father's property.
It slipped from my mind. What will I have to do?
Only a signature. Here.
Give this letter and cheque to your boss.
And tell him the furniture should reach me within 2 days.
- The furniture has also arrived. - Watch out!
- How are you? - Fine.
Come and take a look at your room.
My room?
I'd informed you I've taken a flat near the children's hospital.
Can I know why you can't stay here with us?
- You can. - Sudhir, don't irritate me.
Prashant, your wife is beautiful but dumb.
Sakhi, the hospital is 16 kms from here.
So I won't be in time for emergency cases.
And if I'll be hasty I'll meet with an accident in this traffic.
Prashant, ask your wife not to look at me in this manner.
It weakens my resolve.
I'll abduct her and that will ruin your happy family life.
I'm already ruined!
Sakhi, try to understand.
I told you about my affairs and I can't conduct them in your presence.
I too have some shame. Now, I'll leave for the hospital.
- Listen to me. - I've kept the taxi waiting.
He makes my blood boil.
I think he's hiding something from us.
I'm Nandini Malhotra calling, Dr Prashant Chaturvedi's P.A.
I called up to remind you,...
Also Dr Chaturvedi's house warming and he's insisted on your presence.
We'll surely come.
- Did you finish with the calls? - No, I'm tired from dialing.
- Were the lines so busy? - I was getting wrong numbers.
Please be seated. Did you remind everyone?
Only a few calls are remaining.
Inform Dr Dubey and Dr Rehman,...
that I'll be in the operation theater to inspect the new machines.
- Did you make this call? - I'll make it right away.
Sudhir, she's my P.A. Ms Malhotra and he's my partner.
But only to share profits.
She's his real partner, Mrs Kavita Chaturvedi.
And she's Ms Malhotra, our P.A.
- What did you say? - She's our P.A.
- You look familiar. - I too feel the same.
I don't know about you.
But Ms Kavita was my senior in Sophia women's college.
I know her from my women's college but how do you know her?
- Were you also a student there? - How can that be possible?
I used to loiter outside your college and must've seen her there.
Don't take his talks seriously.
Join me to the operation theater. Take some interest in work.
That's what I was doing. Come, Sakhi.
- Your order is ready. - You read it while I check.
- Are you a Hindi film fan? - No, why?l
Because suddenly your voice lowered and became silent.
I'll read the list while you check.
- Is she very serious? - Only my doctor can answer that.
But right now I'm very serious.
I've delivered all your medicines to the mental hospital.
- Are you the doctor at the asylum? - No, I'm a pediatrician.
You mean a child specialist. Then, I'll need you.
Please pack these medicines.
We'll go to the Chinese room next door and catch up with each other.
Take the order and parcel the food.
Though it's a small place the food is excellent.
Don't bother with the menu card and just take the order.
2 plates Chicken Manchurian, 2 plates Chicken Chili.
2 plates each of Prawns garlic and Fish garlic.
2 plates each of vegetable spring roll and Crab roll.
2 plates Chicken roll and a plate of Chinese Chop Suey.
- Are you having a party? - No, this is only for 2 people.
- So much food for 2 people? - This is not much.
Actually, love improves your appetite.
It means you are in love. But you were in London.
After my father's demise I gained control of his London business.
But I had a flat in Bombay which had to be sold.
The tenant was defaulting since 4 years.
On reaching there with the court's eviction orders,...
I saw that the tenant was a female.
She was a real dream girl.
When I handed her the court's eviction orders she started crying.
She took my hand in hers and told me she had no where else to go.
So I decided to settle with her rather than throwing her out.
That way I could settle in London and also sell off my Bombay house.
But there is a problem. As you are aware London's weather is very cold.
And Ruby darling suffers from permanent cold.
What did you say her name was?
Our names are well matched.
Her father was Major Dutt and so she follows him and refuses medication.
This won't do.
As a child specialist you'll be in a better position to handle here.
Though elder to me by a few years her habits are still childish.
Remove the things. Come, Sudhir.
Despite my warnings, you've still left your bed, darling?
I came to drink some brandy.
See, who's here!
He's my friend and is a eminent doctor now.
Come in, Sudhir and meet my fiance Ruby..
- I've a feeling we've met earlier. - I don't think so.
Your face and voice sounds very familiar.
Sometimes it happens so, darling. Sudhir, take a seat.
Darling, since we believe in rebirths,...
probably Sudhir was your brother-in- Iaw even in your previous birth.
- Isn't it, Sudhir? - Life can be very strange.
Sometimes strangers also seem familiar.
And at times people close to you also seem like strangers.
- Sudhir, see if she has fever? - Extend your hand.
Yes, her pulse is fast.
- Give me a piece of paper. - She never heeds anyone's advice.
Didn't I tell you that she's very stubborn.
Now, you've got the right doctor who'll cure you.
- Fetch these medicines. - You'll talk while I'm gone.
The medicines that Hiralal's gone to bring won't give you much relief.
Then why did you send him?
- I wanted him out of the way. - Why?
Because I wanted to ask you a few questions.
- Ask. - I believe you're often sick.
- I think,... - What do you think?
I can't muster courage to disclose it to you.
Brandy will give you the necessary courage.
So, what do you think?
I think your malady concerns your mind.
- Mind? - We all suffer from some ailment.
Take me for instance I've achieved everything but am yet not satisfied.
I'm still in search of something. Don't you too feel so?
I won't lie but I too feel the same,...
that I'm missing something and don't cherish what I have.
You are right.
I was a bright student and passed with flying colors.
I thought of owning a ordinary car but own a Mercedes.
I planned to be just a doctor but ended up opening a posh nursing home.
Today it's value has increased. Yet I'm unsatisfied.
- No? Why? - Because,...
money can buy you material comforts,...
but not love.
At the most you can hold hands and feel her pulse.
Here is the medicine.
Take these 2 pills after meals and avoid anything cold.
You must attend the opening ceremony of my nursing home tomorrow.
I'll come only on condition that you take care of Ruby.
He's so busy that he'll forget.
A doctor doesn't distinguish in treating a friend or foe.
- Shall I drop you? - Thanks but no thanks.
He's a great man! Didn't you hear you ought to take rest?
Do come in.
Kavita, meet him, he's a famous pediatrician Dr Sudhir Roy.
Is this any time to come? I'm really upset with you.
Since I became a pediatrician I'm wary of adult company.
I have invited a friend.
He's my partner Prashant Chaturvedi.
Do you remember our class mate Hiralal?
- You mean Hiralal Tandon? - She's his fiance.
- But where is he? - I'm here.
Just a minute. First meet my wife Kavita.
And secondly today is not my birthday.
Many happy returns of the day.
It is not her birthday too. Today is our nursing home's birthday.
So you are its fathers.
I'll keep the flowers and pray for the spread of diseases,...
so that your nursing home prospers.
Why are you so late? I'm really angry with you.
The taxi delayed me.
- Ms. Nandini, attend to them. - Please come.
Darling, you take a seat. I'll soon join you.
Kavita, meet Dr Agarwal, a very noted heart specialist.
Kavita, how are you?
- Are you old acquaintances? - She's my childhood friend.
Please come in, Sir.
- I mistook her for his daughter. - She's his third wife.
Third? ls he a heart specialist or a marriage specialist?
Do you stay in Bombay? Where?
Darling, is your headache fine now?
Where do you stay in Bombay?
- Do you want lozenges? - No.
So, I wanted to know... You can take my seat.
This party's quite drab as you all are engaged in serious talks.
A party is meant to be enjoyed.
So I propose to sing for you.
And accompanying my song for a dance will be,...
Insolent! Let go of my hand.
She's abused me and since I'm little tipsy,...
I behave badly with her?
Not at all.
Why don't you sing alone?
Okay, I've no hassles. Please sit while I prepare myself.
- Your Sudhir exposed himself. - What do you mean?
I'm sure there's something brewing between them.
They must be behaving similarly at home also.
Had he behaved so insolently with me, I'd have whipped him.
Park the cab as it'll take me some time to return.
- Is Prashant free? - Yes, you can go in.
- I will but how are you? - I'm fine.
- That means you're not from U.P. - I'm from Punjab. Why?
Because folks in U.P. are particular about their diction in Hindi.
Legend is that the time they took to debate the gender of the British,...
But Punjabis manage to get out of tight corners.
Actually, 50% of my preference is towards Punjabis.
And the other 50%?
The other 50% is male and I'm only fond of females.
- You talk just like kids. - That's why I'm a pediatrician.
Tell me where did you learn to sing so well?
Continue meeting me and you'll learn a lot about me, Ms Malhotra.
- Call me Nandini. - And I'm Sudhir.
I too have one quality. Do you want to know?
You mean you'll start singing here?
- I make excellent coffee. - I'm damned.
- What happened? - I've a great weakness for coffee.
Any girl can win me over by treating me to a cup of coffee.
You go and the doctor while I'll try to win you over.
But I prefer it sweet.
- Why did you send for me? - Kavita wants to meet you.
She's called up several times since morning for you.
- I'd kept the phone off the hook. - Why?
Due of your wife. She's upset with me for holding her hand yesterday.
Go and mollify her.
Why are you so angry with me?
I'll have to ask Prashant to check your blood pressure.
Tell me why did you hold my hand in public and ask me for a dance?
You should've objected there itself. I'd have changed my tactics.
Look Sudhir, there's a limit to your pranks.
Today Agarwal's wife had come. Do you know what Ruby Dutt told her?
- What? - That you exposed yourself.
Oh! But what did I expose?
That we're having an affair.
Her intelligence has impressed me.
There's more coming.
She's also said that had you behaved so insolently with her,...
she'd have whipped you and taught you a lesson.
I'm anxious to see her cane.
The sole purpose of my existence is to find that cane.
So you finally got the time to come here?
How come Mrs Kavita Chaturvedi gave you permission?
- I thought,... - Enough!
- Allow me also to talk. - I thought you'd forgotten me.
I can forget myself but not you.
I was only thinking if it's right for us to meet in Hiralal's absence.
Shut up! I don't belong to him.
I make my own decisions. I thought you were avoiding me.
- You are great, Madame. - Call me Ruby not Madame.
- It was a matter of only a day. - But one day is a helluva lot.
I've been pining for you.
Okay, I'm sorry.
I hang my head in apology, Madame.
Punish me by taking me in your arms.
