How are you still so sleepy?
I don't know, dude. I didn't sleep well. I just heard horns all night long.
Suddenly feels like the city is too loud, you know?
What about you? You slept well?
More or less.
What is more or less?
It just is.
I'm used to sleeping diagonally now. All over the bed.
-I couldn't do that last night. -Diagonally? Like this? Askew?
Yes? Yeah.
By the way, two, three kicks I got in my stomach.
-You'll sleep in the living room tonight. -Yeah. I was thinking the same thing.
-Really? -Yeah.
No. You're joking.
Am I?
Isn't it nice?
I think we need some new ones, no?
Aren't your hands always below mine?
Come.
Did you hear that? That was so loud!
Dude, this entire city is a fucking traffic jam.
-Dhruv! -It was so loud, dude!
-Kavu! -Yeah?
What is it?
-Yes? -Who are you, brother?
Are you her brother?
-Yes. -Which one?
I'm her cousin, dude.
-The one from Nagpur? -Yes.
Sister told me about you!
Is she going later for her running?
-Yes,. -Yes, take it.
How much?
We have a running account! Don't worry. Fifty rupees.
Fifty?
-This? Fifty rupees for one? -Yes.
I'll get going.
What a ridiculous city. Fifty bucks for one coconut water.
Take it, dude.
Stop cribbing, you've been at it since morning.
-It's always been this much. -Yeah, but...
Now I know there's something better.
Yeah, but you're back now, right? So, let's try, no?
I'm sorry.
Listen.
Dude... Don't go for a run, please. I think I'm feeling very weird.
Dhruv! Dude, please. You know it helps me clear my mind.
And there's a running league with our friends.
We've already set our targets.
Fine. Go.
What happened?
Give me a kiss, dude. I'm feeling really weird.
Are you okay?
Yeah.
Alright, listen. I've shampooed the couch, so don't put your feet on it.
Oh, by the way, listen. I have signed up my parents for this program.
Where they have to go for regular health checkups, every four months.
And the updates come directly to me, so I know when they skip.
The same thing is there in Delhi,
so I've kept printouts ready and you can send them to your parents.
They won't do any of this on their own.
Yeah.
Thanks.
It's good.
Momo, let me go for a quick run and come, no?
All right, dude, go for it.
I'll just do something.
Dude?
Where's the TV?
I... I gave it away.
-What do you mean gave it away? -Dude.
Some of my work friends wanted to watch some Champion tournament or something.
-Champions League? -Yeah that's the one.
So, the TV wasn't working and I said you can borrow it and I gave it.
Okay. So... where is it now?
I asked them to keep it, Dhruv. I was planning to buy a new one.
Okay. Hello, but... this is exactly why I'm feeling weird.
Okay. Look, I'm sorry. I know I should have told you, but it slipped my mind.
-Talking about which socks to wear-- -Dhruv! I forgot, dude.
What nonsense is this?
-You sold off the TV? -I haven't sold it.
-I just gave it. -That's worse.
-How? They're my friends! -But it was my fucking TV, no?
That's how it's going to be? Your microwave, my table, your kettle?
-Please don't sound like that. -You just made it sound like that.
Okay, fine. You gave away our TV. Happy? Does that sound better?
Who is it now?
I mean, everything is related.
Tell me the lyrics.
-Jogeshwari east, west? -West.
Hi, guys, how's the omelet?
Bro!
I told you.
I'll be back.
-Are you okay? -Yeah.
-Give. Let me help. -No, no. It's fine. Chill.
Dhruv, look. I'm really sorry, dude.
This plan was made a long time back and I genuinely forgot about it.
They'll all leave in an hour or two.
Anmol really wanted to meet you, so I thought it's...
-It's fine, it's just that-- -No, I understand you're not...
-Kavya, please don't interrupt me. -No, I'm just saying that...
Okay, I'm sorry.
Say.
Nothing. Fuck it.
Kavya!
-Hi. -Hi.
-What are you doing? -Not much. Cooking some eggs.
One for me as well. Cheese!
Sure.
I'm really happy to meet you, you know. I've heard a lot about you from Kavya.
I mean, I'm not trying to butter you up...
-Honestly... -I know.
I've already decided
to dance a lot at the wedding.
-Whose wedding will you dance at? -Yours and Kavya's wedding.
Okay.
Sure.
What are you looking for?
-I can't find the pepper since morning... -It's there.
We don't keep it here, it used to be here. No, Kavya keeps it here.
-What pepper is this, dude? -We got a new one.
Kavya got that from Nagpur.
It's a shit place, bro. It's going to dogs now.
-What? Have you been there? -I'm from Bangalore, man.
The only saving grace we have is the weather.
The weather is amazing.
And it's so green! Look out the window here.
You'll see nothing but buildings.
It's got lakes, man. Which big city has that?
What lakes? Those are the drains.
-It is a drain, but... -Where did you hang out the most?
Just in and around the campus, we didn't get out much.
That's barely even Bangalore, man. I mean...
Technically, you haven't been to Bangalore.
If you'd been there, you'd know it sucks balls.
It used to be amazing.
It had charm, better weather, lesser traffic.
All right, it was shit.
Happy?
It's fine.
Everyone doesn't have to have the same experiences.
-He's allowed to hate what you love. -And vice versa.
And vice versa.
-Dhruv, did you have fun? -Yes, dude. I was happy there.
What else do you need? What's that thing? Eat, drink and have fun, my friends!
Eat, drink!
There's this song in Punjabi, it's famous.
-You're making the song up on your own. -What do you guys listen to?
It's there! Does anybody remember it?
That's good, man, that you were happy there.
Otherwise, people in a long distance are almost always miserable, no?
I agree. Totally agree.
But... I think we were fine. Right?
-We were. -Yeah.
We were fine.
I mean, both of us were mostly busy only.
That's true.
But in hindsight, I now realize that... Bangalore is like my happy place, you know
Well... this is my happy place.
Dude, this feels like home. It feels like a home, at Kavya's.
-This is my home. -I'm glad.
You're just clingy.
You tell us. What is your happy place?
I think Kerala is really nice.
-Also, some biryani places... -Oh, Dhruv!
I forgot to tell you. Suraj is also a mad foodie.
-Really? -Yes, proudly.
-Let's go, you and I. -Yeah, sure!
Okay, so there is this amazing biryani place in Jogeshwari, okay?
And once you walk in
and just get a whiff of the spices, it's so comforting!
- East or west? - West, okay?
It's amazing.
-I should go... -We should go!
Yeah, I wanna go.
It'll be fun. We should go. We'll go, okay?
-Who likes biryani here? -You like it? Do you eat it?
Don't tell me you're vegetarian.
Why was Bangalore your happy place, man?
Were there good biryani joints there as well?
No, but there were some. There were two, three really good places.
But...
I was really productive there, dude.
I didn't really tire that easily.
I feel that after hitting 25, it's all about how you use your energy.
You realize it's limited and then that's the game,
you know, how you use limited energy effectively.
-Just what I feel. -It's true.
Kavya, what about you? Tell us.
Dude, when I went home this time around
it all connected with me very differently, you know?
Like, I was trying to look for things to get over here
to make me feel more at home here.
Like, when I used to go for exams at school, in my pencil box,
I'd take this little Ganesha idol with me. So, I got that home this time.
I mean, I know that you can have as many happy places as you want.
And you can find happiness in
different places, but I never realized that Nagpur was my happy place.
Whatever these other places are, I'll probably keep looking for them, but...
Okay, fine, I'm just rambling.
Akshay, you tell us.
I don't have any happy place, I don't know.
I'm always in my happy space right before I pass out.
The last thought in my brain is...
that I'm going to black out after this. I've drunk too much. And I'm really happy.
Bro, I think you're depressed and you should get some help.
Dhruv. Go back to your phone.
You sure you don't mind?
Guys, chill out.
Dude, does this happen just to me or to everybody?
Like when, someone says chill,
you feel more worked up. No?
It happens just to you.
Eat, drink and have fun, my friends! That's the song by A.S. Kang! Come on!
These guys are leaving, you want to come say bye?
Yeah.
What happened?
Are you okay?
Dude, just stop asking me, "Are you okay? Are you okay?"
The more you ask me that, the more fucked I'm feeling. So, please, don't ask.
-Stop getting irritated at everything. -Stop irritating me, man.
-Dhruv, shut up, dude! -You shut up, no?
Kavya!
Sorry.
-You took everything? -Yes.
-You just sleep well, okay? -Hold this properly and eat the kheer.
-Yes. Thank you! -Bye!
-Thank you. -Thank you for coming.
I really liked meeting you Brother Dhruv!
Same here.
-Please, come again. -Yeah.
-Open it, please! -Yes!
You both look so tired!
Just hug each other and sleep, dude!
Bye!
Let's go.
What?
Nothing.
I don't think anybody has ever called me Brother Dhruv.
Felt nice, you know.
-Shall we head home, Brother Dhruv? -Or, we could just...
It just gives me the feeling as if I've missed out on so many things.
And I know I'd said that 2.5 thing,
but that's also because I'm just... I'm nervous about the future, dude.
Of course I'm excited about being here with you.
But you didn't miss out on anything, Dhruv.
This was supposed to be romantic, no?
Coming home after six months, just being together.
But it is.
What are you saying, dude?
I didn't know Co-Create was taken from you.
I didn't know Sonu got a new teacher,
that you couldn't sleep without a light the first month.
Dhruv...
-I think I was just protecting you. -From what, Kavya?
Please, just don't treat me like a kid, dude.
-Dhruv, I... -One second, dude, I'm getting up.
-Yes, what were you saying? -I wanted you to have a smooth time there.
I didn't want to burden you with my stress.
I wanted you to be present there.
But when did I say that I wouldn't be able to hear what you have to say?
-Did I ever say that? -No, Dhruv. But...
And you've changed the whole geometry of the house, Kavya.
Geometry, Dhruv.
Geometry, geometry, the point is that you changed it.
Dude, one second.
This is also about me, no?
I did things to make myself feel more comfortable. I did things to...
miss you a little less.
And I know I gave away the TV to those guys,
but those guys are really nice to me, okay?
-And I felt bad the first time I said no. -Fine, you gave it away, that's done with.
I'm just asking why you didn't tell me.
Dhruv...
is it important for both of us to share everything?
Yes.
Yes, it is.
No, it isn't.
For some people it may not be important,
but we've been those people that tell each other everything, Kavya.
Dhruv, listen.
Just have faith in my judgments, no?
If I didn't tell you something, it was because
I didn't think it was important enough for you to know.
Kavya. Please don't expect me to be so smart. I'm not that guy.
What is that even supposed to mean?
It's about having faith in each other, Dhruv.
See, you're again trying to sound smart.
See, dude.
It's a simple logic.
I'm feeling fucking lost.
And I know you said to not make things about myself and I'm doing that.
-I know I'm a bitch. -Yes, you are.
Let me talk, why are you sounding like this?
Sounding like what, Dhruv?
Like, I don't know, man. Like you're less in love.
What?
Yeah, that's what it feels like.
Dhruv, you've been sounding like you're not in love.
-How? -Because you're constantly on your phone?
I'm just talking to people. I'm not scrolling through Instagram or Facebook.
Dhruv, you keep talking about Bangalore so much.
It just feels like you don't want to be here anymore.
I was so excited to have you back,
but seeing you bitch about everything is making me feel like, fuck!
Maybe I'm not liking it here, dude.
-Which is why I think you've changed. -Yes, I have.
And I'm glad about it, and so have you!
You have your whole new life now.
You have your Anmol and what's this that you keep doing?
Anmol?
Don't say it.
-Dhruv. -Don't say it.
-Momo, are you insecure about Anmol? -Why did you say it, dude?
-Dhruv, she is a child. -Why are you laughing?
She's new to the city, it's just... We just thought...
Just, this whole happy place thing.
Just makes me feel she's replaced me, dude.
Dhruv!
Dhruv, again you are making this about yourself.
Kavya, I don't want to feel insecure but, dude, I'm feeling like that.
And I'm feeling like that at the time when I'm feeling the most
confident about my own abilities. Do you know how fucked up that is?
It feels like somebody is pulling my brain!
What are these curtains? You could have kept them the same.
I feel like I'm stepping into a hotel room!
Dhruv, I showed them to you.
Yeah, you did.
Sorry.
It's just, I don't know why you feel insecure, dude. There's just no...
I know I don't have to feel insecure, but I feel weird about it, dude.
I'm feeling distant from everything.
The Delhi home got sold as well and what is this Google Home you've put here?
I keep talking and it doesn't listen to me.
I feel like I'm talking to myself. The ASI sent a rejection as well.
What? Why?
I don't know. Must have found someone better.
Kavya, please just tell me the truth.
Did I ignore you? What happened?
No.
I just found my happiness somewhere else.
Sorry, but is this a reaction to me saying
that at least I'm not playing font-font sitting at home?
-No, but that was a very shit thing to say. -Yes, it was. And I'm very, very sorry.
Why would you say that to Akshay?
Really?
Yes, I was insensitive, but even he was behaving like an ass, no?
How can you not see that?
-I think you should say sorry to him. -Why should I apologize, dude?
And that is great, isn't it?
You get to decide what we talk about, and you decide what I say to others?
Don't, then. Okay?
It's just I've started sharing things with other people, and it's...
And what? Am I supposed to feel happy about this or sad? What?
Right now, you're anyway looking at the negatives.
So, what are the positives?
Do you even want to see the positives? I got a carpenter to make a table
that looks exactly like the one you had in Geeta Ma'am's office.
Just so that you feel more at home over here.
Have you even bothered to see it?
What is it? How many calls do you get?
Hello? Yes, Mom.
Yeah.
What happened?
I don't know, Mom. It's...
It's like we're going to have to start all over again.
He isn't liking anything since he got back.
I know he's not happy.
Why?
It feels like he has found his happiness somewhere else.
It's good that he has found
new likes and dislikes.
This is how a person grows.
Look at your father.
His life revolved only around his job. Office to home, home to office.
Now he is bored all the time.
All he does is watch TV or be on his mobile.
Fair enough.
And I understand what you were saying the other day.
The whole "me time" thing.
I get it now.
It's not necessary to be happy only with each other.
But it's important
for both to be a part of each other's growth.
To be there for each other.
Is it not?
-Kavya, please close your eyes, dude! -What?
-Please keep your eyes closed. -Okay.
This is so nice.
You had said to get something from home.
I couldn't figure out what to get.
So, I bought these.
Now part of my childhood is here as well.
We'll sit together and look at Orion peacefully.
To hell with the pollution.
-Did you just kiss your own hand? -Yes.
You have no idea who my father is.
What?
I'm bringing the Delhi vibe here. You're feeling homesick, aren't you?
Anyway, the truth is we're both being stupid.
We're fighting about having found new things to be happy about.
Yup.
And just because I had a great time, doesn't mean I love you less.
Right?
That's true.
I think the only thing I'm sad about
is that I couldn't be there when you were going through these changes, you know.
Maybe you are right, you know?
Maybe we don't need to tell each other everything. We can just...
trust the other person and just have that faith in why they didn't tell us.
Finally.
See? In Bombay also you can sound smart.
Actually, I'm still not sure about not telling each other everything, okay?
I'll think about it.
I don't know, dude.
Suddenly it feels like somebody changed the rules of the game.
It's going to take time to change no, Dhruv.
We'll get there.
Yeah.
So, listen.
Let's just cuddle and not talk for a bit, okay?
Yes, please.
This is so nice.
So much better than morning.
You don't have to feel insecure.
I'm always going to be here, no.
Thank you.
Kavu?
