We were supposed to go for grocery shopping, right?
Now you are retired, why do you need to go to office?
What do you mean "Why do you need to go?" I've to go and meet people.
Okay, whom do you want to meet?
Dhruv, I really want to go! Let me go, dude! Please!
Why did you get so close to Mom if you wanted to break up anyway?
What nonsense, Dhruv! Who's talking about breaking up?
Then don't go! Our life here is set. Your coconut water guy comes as well!
-But that's also my happy place, Dhruv! -But stay here, dude.
What's your problem, exactly? You didn't like the ring, is that it?
It is a little big. I saw it on YouTube, it's pretty simple.
Put some thread on the ring and you don't need to do anything else.
Just keep moving it round and round
It's not about the ring, Dhruv!
-I'm not in a mood to argue! -Then don't! Why are you screaming?
I'm screaming? You're the one screaming! You!
What is this, "You!"?
What do you mean?
Look at this, Tinku. Look how he misbehaves with me.
-You're the one screaming, not me! -Yes, so what should I say?
Mom!
What will we do with Lata Didi if you go?
-Because I just have two and a half roti. -Dhruv.
I just have two and a half roti.
-Dhruv! -I just have two and a half roti.
Dhruv!
-I just have two and a half roti. -Dhruv!
I had that naked bathing dream again last night.
You bathe naked only, Dhruv.
You're quite perverted even when you're asleep.
How am I being a pervert? I saw myself naked.
I had a weird dream as well.
-Yeah? -I can't seem to remember it.
-We have the lease signing today, okay? -Yes.
You meet me in the evening and we'll go together to the chairman's house.
Still can't believe he wants us both to be there for the signing.
Yeah, but it's better than that whole cousins shit, man.
This is really good, Kavya.
-What is it, exactly? -Tarri Poha.
I didn't think I would get it right in the first try.
It's great, dude, you learnt how to make poha.
Now you're ready for marriage, yeah?
I said I'm sorry, Dhruv.
Don't taunt me now.
-I need time, okay? -Who is taunting you, dude?
I read on Instagram that when...
Marathi people meet for an arranged marriage, they serve poha.
Is that correct?
Yeah, so that's why.
Look, where this mosquito bit me, it's so irritating.
It's bit me here.
Oh, shit! I'm late! Dhruv! Thank you for the imli achaar rice!
Puliyogare rice!
Kavya, they've sent in the inventory requirements.
-Okay. Send me the list. -Yeah.
Actually, you know what?
You take a call.
Thank you.
Mom?
What happened?
Is Dad fine?
Yes, he is fine.
I wanted to tell you about Kaju.
Fuck, man.
Kidney failure?
That serious?
But how did they just decide that on their own?
She tried really hard.
She was taking him to the hospital every day last week.
He'll be fine for 5-7 days, but I don't know what will happen after that.
But still!
Let me ask people over here, I'm sure vets over here can do something.
-You please ask them to wait, okay? -All right, I'll let her know.
How is Dad?
Fine. He's usually a little uneasy. He's not used to sitting at home.
He keeps calling to ask when I'll be coming.
-My "me" time, going outside... -Why do you keep talking about "me time"?
-Try to understand him once in a while. -Tinku?
Who is this fellow? Our batch?
He looks like a virgin.
He used to be like Dhruv's tail! Both of them used to go for the Maths Quiz.
Dhruv, what are you doing these days?
He must be making tea for Kavya.
Chamolee Tea?
Asshole, it's Chamomile.
-What are you doing here? -What are you doing here?
Sahil's fucking informal meeting, dude. He thinks it makes him cool.
-Are you coming? -You have a dog, right?
I do.
What happened?
So, a friend of mine, her dog suddenly developed kidney failure.
-So, I was hoping that you... -That's the worst.
Kidney failures are the worst and... How old is the dog?
Twelve.
No chance. I'd just tell them to put him to sleep, he's in pain.
I'm sure there are options.
What's the point?
He's going to die anyway in one day. So, it's just a waste of time.
Just shut the fuck up.
I don't need your lecture on nihilism right now.
Just back off.
Relax.
Here you go, brother. Where is sister?
-She's in office, where else will she be? -Is that so? Do you stay at home only?
This one has cream in it.
Why are you giving so many?
Sister said she wanted to cook something.
-What did she want to cook? -That I don't know. Be careful!
-Take another one. -I don't want any more.
-Just one more. -No, this is enough, dude.
These are enough to make whatever is to be made.
No. I don't want any more.
All right. No problem.
Thank you.
My grandmother has the piles. Will you put some ointment on her?
So, I begin by saying I have been tracking your progress,
-and I must say... -Sir.
Sorry.
Why is this board so rough?
Because they use talcum powder, and not boric powder.
Really?
Must get HR to send out an e-mail.
So, I was saying. You've had a really great year.
And you've exceeded all your sales targets.
Between you and me, I think you might just be up for another promotion.
So, how is home, man?
Good.
I was happy I could be there for dad's retirement.
Actually, I was asking about Dhruv, but family is equally important.
You know, Sheena and I...
we're planning to start a family.
Nice.
Just felt like the right thing to do one day.
And I'm hoping... Actually, I think I know I might make a great father, but...
I'm always concerned about Earth's resources.
What's happening in our other branches, Sahil?
Which branches are you referring to?
Hey, Tanu, Gurgaon seems to be pretty hi-fi.
Nobody walks over here.
Everybody jogs.
And check this out. What a nice view from the 14th floor.
Mom, do you remember Sanket?
Sanket?
-Lalwani? From your school? -Yes, that's the one.
Mom, he got a huge grant from a research university in Finland.
It's a big deal, he got his photo in the paper today, on the front page.
If his photo is published in the paper, call him and congratulate him.
No, Mom. I don't want to.
You know that he would always come second and I would always come first.
Ever since I found out, I've been feeling really fuck--
Sorry! I don't feel good at all, Mom!
I feel like a loser.
It's okay, Tanu.
It's natural to feel this way.
But it's okay. Don't think about it too long.
Pay attention to your own life.
And, yes...
if possible, give him a call.
Son...
I'm proud of you.
Dad as well.
Thank you, Mom.
It feels good...
to talk to you today.
Keep calling, to talk about whatever it is.
What else can I talk about today? I ate poha today, made in a new style.
Kavya learnt it from Nagpur. It's called tarri poha.
It was good.
Nice!
Listen. The neighbors are here.
It's time to go for a walk. I'll call you later.
All right, Mom, just take care of yourself.
So nothing. The doctors are saying that
he should be kept under observation for three, four days, and then we'll see.
Anyway, this chairman should have said that he's getting late.
Man, I'm really sorry about Kaju. I had no idea.
And the chairman had messaged.
He'll call when he gets home.
Dhruv, listen.
Nothing.
This looks nice.
It's motherfucking nice, man.
-Dhruv, so... -I...
I spoke to Sanket.
Okay.
And?
No, dude. You're... You're right.
No, I genuinely had a great time, dude. Yeah, it was a lot of fun.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
But I'm really happy for you, man.
Yeah.
Professor really matters, dude. You're right!
Yeah, it's really nice.
So, tell me something, dude.
What are you doing your paper on right now?
Amazing, man! Keep at it. Good luck.
Yeah.
Really?
So?
So...
he offered me to be his assistant on the research.
-That's amazing! -Yeah, it is.
It's great, in fact, but...
-I can't take it, no? -Why?
Dude...
He's asking me to be his assistant, dude.
I used to be one that came first and he used to come second.
So?
What so? It'll be weird, dude. To become his assistant.
What is it? Why are you laughing? I knew you would judge me, don't do that, dude!
Since when have you started worrying about me judging you, Dhruv?
Because I know I'm sounding petty. I get to know, I can feel it inside.
Why is this so good?
-Okay. Let's simplify this. -Yes, please.
So, if it was anyone but Sanket offering you this...
-I would have said yes. -In a second. Just like that.
Why are you letting your ego come in the way?
It is. I am admitting that. But am I an asshole to think like that?
Okay, firstly, you don't have to apologize for the way you feel.
And secondly, why are we so busy trying to sound correct
and nice all the time? And at the cost of how we really feel?
I mean, what did you just say?
Both of your points were the same, Point A and Point B?
What I'm really trying to say is...
you know you're holding yourself back from being really happy.
-You know this research is interesting. -Yeah, but...
what about us?
That's there as well, right?
Okay. Just for a second, forget about everything.
Forget about everyone. Just think about yourself for now.
We have nothing to fear, Dhruv. You don't have to figure out anything.
We're fine.
Okay.
What?
-Nothing. -Dhruv.
-But-- -Don't.
Just go.
Kavu...
I'm really scared.
I'm sorry.
Dhruv.
I spoke to Sahil.
About?
What's happening in our other branches, Sahil?
Which branches are you referring to?
Nagpur.
It's struggling. Just like the one in Thane.
Can I get a transfer?
Is everything okay, Kavya? At home?
Yeah.
It's just... I...
Do you want a change?
I guess.
I just want to be close to my parents.
Sure. I mean...
I'll see what I can manage.
-Really? -Yeah.
But what about Dhruv?
You're gonna leave him here alone?
Why are we signing this agreement?
So... how long will you be gone for?
Six months.
Maybe more, I don't know.
You?
I don't know, nothing has been finalized yet.
So, does that mean that there's a chance that you might not go?
Yeah.
So, then?
Then nothing. I'll just be here and continue to apply and wait.
Dhruv, are you sure?
I mean, should I go? I can...
Of course you should go. Please go.
It's just that all of this happened so suddenly, so I'm just a little shook.
But there's not even a cell in my body which doesn't want you to go.
Please go.
I'm just thinking that how my life has just become a research.
I don't know about my life, my job, my future. Just that I'm doing it.
Maybe I'll find something.
But isn't it about finding what you're looking for?
I'm just looking for a home, dude.
-I'm your home, Dhruv. -Yes, you are. Of course.
But a very, very big part of my home.
But there are other things also, no?
And this I realized when I was in Bangalore.
And Bangalore also happened because of you.
I wasn't going to go on my own.
And that's why I totally understand why you want to go.
I just get it, man.
I know what it means to do things that you really want to do.
So, please. Go.
Because it'll be your happiness quotient, dude.
-What does that mean? -Means...
Geeta Iyer ma'am's husband had said this.
He said when he lived in the U.S., after a point...
his salary kept on increasing
but his happiness levels remained the same.
Nice one!
But you know it's not about the money, Dhruv.
Yeah, but just replace money with other things.
Basically, if you continue to stay in Bombay...
your happiness levels will remain the same.
At least, for a while. You need to shake things up!
Happiness quotient.
-By the way, what did Sanket say? -He said we'll get to know within a week.
But you know...
before he kept the phone, he said that... "Come, dude.
We'll study together, cook together... just like brothers."
Just felt very nice.
It'll happen, Dhruv.
Yeah.
Wow, style.
We're coming back, right?
-This is not the end, no? -Of course not.
Why are you saying that?
I don't know if I will go abroad, or for how many years.
-You don't know your scene. -I know my scene, Dhruv.
I just didn't have clarity on it.
Which is why I couldn't take the ring, because somewhere at the back of my mind,
I knew this isn't the right time. I knew that...
I just wanted to spend some time with my parents.
I have that clarity now.
I kind of see that.
I'm sorry.
I...
-I didn't mean to put you through this. -No.
You said it, and I'm kind of feeling better. It's...
Kavu, how was this so easy?
Like, do we love each other less, or...?
Like, why aren't we thinking about ourselves, our future?
People our age are getting married, and we...
-We're just happily moving apart. -We are not moving apart, Dhruv.
Of all the days we've spent together in the last four, five years...
I'm most grateful about being in this relationship today.
I know that something is right about this.
It would have been really easy for us to...
To change
as individuals, you know. To...
To lose our own identities.
That's what they say about people who live together for too long, no?
They talk the same.
They, they just-- All their habits start matching.
It's all because they eat the same food and drink the same water
and their circumstances are the same, right?
That's not what I meant.
Yes, I know you didn't mean that, but I was halfway there
so I said fuck it, let me just say the whole thing.
-What are you doing? -I'm really tired, dude. I'm just...
Wait a minute.
Yeah, so smart, right?
You lay down like this on purpose because you knew that was dirty.
But you're right.
We have remained true to ourselves.
We've let each other grow, no?
That's important, no?
It's so rare, right?
To experience freedom like this in a relationship.
We should cherish it, no?
It's great that we have the ability to love other people
and to care about stuff beyond each other.
It's a beautiful world.
We should experience it.
-A lot is happening in life, isn't it? -I swear.
What were those days?
When we used to spend all our days just...
making sandwiches, sleeping,
killing mosquitoes, watching TV.
We're still killing mosquitoes, but you sold the TV.
Dhruv, I'll call for another one, dude!
Will you stop bringing it up again?
Anyway, what's the use of living in isolation?
You're the one saying it's a beautiful world and we should experience it.
How can you say that with such anger?
One second, I'm getting a call.
Yes, brother?
Have you reached?
Yes, yes. We're just coming. Just stay there.
-Let's go. -Where are we going?
Come along, I'll tell you.
Come on, run.
But exactly that was the issue, dude.
There was no direct flight from Mumbai to Nagpur.
This way you'll reach sooner.
You will reach Pune around 2-3 a.m. and Nagpur by 7-8 a.m.
You can have breakfast at home. Simple, right?
Why are you troubling me for the sake of your surprise?
I haven't even packed my clothes.
But you only said no that your old clothes still fits you.
What, dude?!
I planned such an awesome surprise and you are ruining it! Fuck off!
Come on! Let's go home only.
I'm just kidding.
Thank you for this.
It's okay.
He is your first crush, no? You should go and say bye to him.
Nicely.
When will you be back?
Very soon.
I will be back in 2-3 days.
Listen, two very important things.
First, tell Anmol that she can come home to do laundry. No stress at all.
Second,
I'm still not sure about both of us not sharing everything with each other.
We will talk about it.
Also...
This stays with me. Where was this? It looks so big.
I kept it with me.
Coming in like a monster.
I love you.
I love you, too.
Bye.
