It's been such a fucked up week, hasn't it?
Not just the week, Dhruv, almost the entire month.
You know, I read your thesis with Professor Ali.
It's very good. I was very, very impressed.
-Thrilled to read it. -Thank you.
On the way here, I was thinking this isn't just a team,
we're the Galacticos of Bombay.
Galacticos. Real Madrid?
No idea, sir.
Anyway, it's not important.
So…
Omkar, what do you like to do?
Sir, I can start organizing the secondary data now.
No. I meant like any hobbies, interests?
Some other passion?
Sir, reading and music. That's it, sir. Nothing else…
-Vasundhara, you? -Yes, sir?
Same thing. What are your interests? What do you like to do?
Reading, sir, writing. And, sir, I do yoga sometimes.
Water?
Actually, freelancing is the most sensible thing to do right now.
Keep three steady clients on retainer, and life is sorted.
Work for two hours, then relax for the rest of the day.
Yeah, but can you manage working for two hours?
You've been advised bed rest, right?
Dude, two hours is nothing. Just watch me hustle.
Yuck! You know how you sounded?
You sounded like that boyfriend I had, the start-up guy from Bangalore.
But, seriously, you were just recently diagnosed,
so, shouldn't you rest for two months?
Chill, man, it will be okay.
-Wait a minute, okay? -What?
-Hey, what happened? -Shit, shit, shit.
Damn, she left again.
Who?
Actually, we need a maid, and the one working next door
comes in at 10:35 on the dot and leaves at 11:00.
And I have to catch her exactly during that time.
I missed her again.
Is she a maid or a ninja?
Ninja maid.
-Okay? -Yes, sir.
-Sir… -One second. Let's do away with "sir."
Let's finish that culture.
We will address each other by our first names.
Yeah, Dhruv, that's a great idea.
But can you please tell us how to proceed?
Because that's how we used to work under Ali Sir…
-Hi, sorry. -Hi.
-Isha? -Ishu.
-Hi. Good morning.
-Good morning, ma'am. -Good morning.
Hi, Basu.
I'm sorry for coming in late.
There was a mega block on the central line.
They weren't starting the train from Thane.
I was literally waiting at the station for 40 minutes.
-I'm sorry. -No worries.
The project coordinator decided the time for today.
From tomorrow onwards, we can make our own timetable.
Actually, let's start with that.
I think that it's very important to have a good work-life balance.
We have two options. Either 8:00 to 3:00 p.m. or 9:00 to 4:00.
You'll have the second half of the day free.
Dhruv, do we really need to change the timings?
Because we had decided this together with Ali Sir,
keeping everybody's commute in mind.
Let's start at 12:00. We'll skip out the rush hour.
Yes, sir.
Yeah?
-Okay, if it works for everyone. -Okay.
Okay, let's start.
Roles and responsibilities.
Basu, pen. Thank you.
Have you ever been to Thane?
Of course, I've been there.
How long does it take to get there?
From where?
Me and Francesca have a little secret.
I don't think Lana's seen it.
MOM CALLING
Let's just see what Lana has to say about all of this, shall we?
Perhaps it's just a happy coincidence she wants to see you all on the palapa.
Everybody's way more disciplined than we came in,
now more people are focused on the development…
Hi. Sorry.
I was busy.
Are you doing physiotherapy daily? Did you take an appointment with the doctor?
-I'll take it today. -Okay, listen.
Your dad and I were thinking of visiting you.
Mom, there's no need I'm fine. Don't worry.
It's not that serious.
Let's talk later. I'm watching an interesting show.
Kavya, switch off the TV.
If it wasn't serious, you wouldn't have left your job to sit at home.
You keep watching TV all day long. You don't even have time to talk.
I don't want to hear anymore. We're coming there, that's it.
Okay, sorry.
Fine. Come.
I'm actually missing you guys. Dhruv's parents are also coming.
Should we do it the same weekend?
All together?
You want us to talk about "marriage" or what?
Not at all.
We'll just do a casual get-together with them.
When you had started dating Dhruv, you used to say the same thing.
"It's just casual, nothing serious."
Really, Mom. Come visit.
-I'll talk to you later. -Okay, I'm hanging up.
-Bye. -Bye.
-…things. -Tying him up was great.
'Cause I was, like, kinda hurting him.
I had a bit of pent-up aggression I needed to get out.
-Lana! -She's getting out some frustration!
-Help me! -Who have you bondaged… I mean--
What's up, guys?
-How is it going? -Good.
Good.
-Yeah? -Good, sir.
-On track? -Yeah.
Yeah.
I was thinking we could do something fun tonight.
Let's go out somewhere.
We'll celebrate our first submission.
Dhruv, it seems difficult today.
I think we need a little more time on this.
It's more extensive than we thought.
-Okay. -Yeah.
Fair enough, but…
There's still three hours left.
-Should be okay, no? -No, I meant another day.
It's too much to finish by evening. At least for me.
Me, too.
Yeah, same.
Okay…
All right, I'll speak to the AMEX guys.
-Let's do this. Let's do this well. -Yeah.
Okay.
This is the gang's most accomplished hunter.
He can sprint at over 100 kilometers an hour.
Why is it so dark?
Hey, full disclosure, I haven't caught the maid yet.
I'll do it tomorrow.
How are you sitting? You'll hurt your back.
His speed is explosive.
The light of the full moon helps cheetahs hunt.
Man, work is so hectic right now.
I'm pretty screwed.
Happens, Dhruv. Hang in there.
Mom called today.
She said they're coming end of this month.
That's good. Let's call both sets of parents together.
Yeah, that's what I told her.
The cheetah's nocturnal success depends on the moon.
She made such a big deal out of my job situation, you know?
…but it also brings danger.
Hi, Dinesh. How are you?
Hey, Dhruv. All good.
Yeah, so, the code is almost ready.
We just came across two minor snags.
It'll just take us a couple of days to clean those out.
So by Wednesday, you'll have everything.
Okay. We were hoping to discuss it today. But, well…
I think Alvin is on call. Alvin?
-Hi, Alvin. -Hey, Alvin.
Hi, guys. Hi, Dhruv. What did I miss?
Yeah, so, the code is almost ready.
Great.
-So, what do you have for us? -Hi, guys. I'm sorry I'm late.
Hi, Rob. No worries.
Dhruv was just telling us that he's ready with his final deliveries.
Yeah. So, as I was saying, the code is almost ready,
we just encountered two minor issues.
-We just need-- -Dhruv, you there?
Sorry, I accidently put myself on mute.
So, yeah, the code is ready,
but we need two days to clean the snags that we've encountered today.
By Wednesday, you will definitely have the evaluation copies.
Okay.
But in the future,
things like these would be better communicated via email in advance, Dhruv.
Dhruv, there's a lot riding on you, you know?
Yes…
So, I'll send everything by Wednesday, and…
There won't be any further delays from our end from now on.
Okay, I'm signing off.
-Thank you, guys. -Bye.
Bye.
Hi. I'm Kavita from 801.
-You've recently moved in, right? -I mean, we used to…
Yeah, in this house, yes, recently.
Good. Okay. So…
-Why don't you-- -I actually wanted to.
Okay.
You know what? Actually, I came to ask for a favor.
-Tell me. -Actually, the thing is
I run this business where I make beetroot papad and sweet potato chips,
and gluten-free snacks, and I dry them on the terrace.
I just realized that the terrace lock is broken.
And at 2:30, I have a Zumba class.
I was thinking, if you're not doing much, then…
Do you mind watching out so that the kids don't go upstairs?
Especially the ones from 802.
Oh, my God, they're monstrous.
You're laughing, so you've clearly not met them.
I haven't, but I look forward to meeting them.
What are you saying?
Oh, my God, if you meet them, give them one tight slap from my side.
They're such insolent kids.
I don't understand. Do their parents not teach them any manners?
Okay, I will practice my slapping skills.
-Not like I'm doing much sitting at home. -But you should do something, right?
You know, I think we should always find a way to keep ourselves busy.
Especially us, the homemaker kinds.
You know, a few years ago, even I had to quit my job.
My father in-law was not keeping well.
I thought, eventually, I'll get back to work,
but it was so difficult. I could never catch up.
Hence, this business happened. And I'm glad.
Now, I can call myself an entrepreneur.
A very small consolation prize for all the sacrifices I've done.
Okay, listen, you're gonna be home around this time tomorrow as well, right?
Great.
So I will bring my famous beetroot papad for you tomorrow. Ta-ta.
And, Kavya, please save my papad.
-And thanks for the green tea. Bye. -Bye.
-Did you read the Purdue one? -I didn't check that.
Okay, check the Boston one as well.
I'll check it today evening, and email you.
-Can I have one chapati? -There's half left. Sorry.
Didi, don't cook squash for dinner. I'm having that right now.
Just do one thing. What time are you coming?
Because I think Pushkar might be joining us for dinner…
Shit.
Didi, make okra today. I'm sorry.
The same thing happens to me as well.
Every time I'm sending a voice message, I see the red light,
and I feel too self-conscious to send it.
Exactly.
That's why I don't bother sending voice-notes.
Just type the message, proofread it and then hit send.
You are perpetually writing a research paper, Basu.
I'm unable to do even that.
So many texting errors occur because of typos,
and if you accidentally delete the message after sending it,
the other person's like, "Why did you delete it?"
I deleted it because I had to delete it!
No, man, I agree with you. That's why I just call people.
Yeah, but if I feel that this is a very trivial thing…
then I add a couple more things, like, small talk.
Yeah.
-You shouldn't have said that, Dhruv. -Why?
Because now every time you call,
we'll wonder what was the trivial thing and what was the main point.
No, don't worry, you'll come to know.
Why did you give this back to me? I don't want it.
I don't want it, either.
-Give it to her. -I'll have it.
-"I'll have it." -"I'll have it."
What did you bring?
Squash.
-No! -No, I'm not joking.
-I'll have it. -You sure?
I love squash.
Famous line.
Dhruv.
Yes, ma'am, but three months?
How's the team to manage without salaries for three months?
Look, funds disbursal is often delayed in such projects.
Paperwork, approvals, signatures. I'm sorry.
-You better inform your team. -I have to inform them?
Ma'am, but as the project coordinator, aren't you supposed to tell them?
My responsibility is only to inform the team leader. You.
Actually, Vandana Aunty gave me your reference.
Advocate Vandana Sapre?
Yes, I know her.
So, you have come here for a second opinion, right?
No, actually… I mean, in the last one…
Yes, okay. I'm here for a second opinion.
Uncle, the thing is, I've been advised naturopathy, acupuncture,
just mainly taking a lot of rest, but none of that has worked out.
I mean, it's not worked out for me.
I've even had to leave my job because of this shit.
Sorry.
Uncle, I just want to get this over with.
It's really troubling me.
I was thinking, surgery, maybe? I don't know.
See, surgery is a very big decision.
There would be a lot of post-operation care required.
Have you discussed it with someone?
The keys, shit.
-Hi, sir. -Yeah, hi.
Momo!
Hey, how come you're here? Shouldn't you be resting?
No. I'm okay.
Let's go.
-Are you okay? -Yeah, yeah, come.
By the way, why did you leave early?
You could've given me the keys.
No, it's fine. I'm done for today.
I'm very stressed out.
What happened, Momo?
Nothing.
If I say it now, I'll have to deal with it now,
which will cause more stress.
What the fuck? Why did you pinch me?
Same pinch on stress.
You okay?
I think I should do the surgery, Dhruv.
And who the fuck is this doctor?
-I want to slap-- -I know surgery's the best option!
-So, you already know it? -Yes, I do!
Kavya, how can you be so fucking dumb, man?
How can you fuck up your body just for the sake of it?
Just for the sake of it? Dhruv, really?
He's a doctor. Of course he'd recommend surgery.
He wants to make money.
-How can you even think of surgery? -Because I'm going through it.
Okay? And I want to deal with it.
-At least I'm not running away like you! -What?
What the fuck are you saying?
Nothing. You don't know what I'm going through.
Yeah, exactly. What are you going through? What do you do all day?
You've just been watching TV for the past three weeks.
Wow! So easy to be a dick, right, Dhruv?
And what three weeks are you talking about?
Where were you in the last three weeks?
Either sleeping or whining about your job.
What do you expect me to do? Send you a calendar invite?
"Hey, let's talk at 9:00 p.m. Let's do a Google Hangout."
What kind of mind-fuckery is this? First, office, now this.
If you're having so many problems, then resign.
I didn't ask you to leave the job in Finland.
I know why you left it.
Because your big fat ego
couldn't deal with the fact that you're working under Sanket.
Fuck you, Kavya!
That was my job. It was my decision!
I don't need you, okay?
I didn't mean that.
-Of course you did. -No, I didn't!
-We say whatever we're thinking. -What is this simplistic logic?
-You just don't get it, do you? -No, I don't. You know what?
If you had the surgery and told me,
"Hey, I got my surgery done." Maybe then I would've got it.
Go to hell!
What the fuck!
Why did you pinch me?
Same pinch on stress.
You okay?
I think I should do the surgery, Dhruv.
You know, I really thought you'd fight with me.
I'm done with staying at home, Dhruv. I can't do it anymore.
It's just too soul-sucking.
And if the surgery works out like the doctor said,
then I can be back on my feet in a couple of weeks, maybe.
Have you done something new to your hair?
You're not listening.
Of course, I am. They just look a little different.
Okay, so, let's look at this whole thing from a different angle.
What if this is a chance for you
to try out things that you always wanted to?
That's the thing.
What I really want to do is work my ass off for eight hours
on something I love, but…
I'm not being able to do anything. I had one job, to find a maid,
which I didn't do, but tomorrow…
-It's okay. -Promise.
I have a few more thoughts, but…
Ball, please!
Yeah, I feel you've really thought this through, right?
What else do I have to do? I've been doing this the whole day.
It's all very confusing because…
It's not that I've made up my mind about it or anything,
just contemplating if this surgery is… If all of this is worth taking a risk.
Come on, now you tell me.
It's not that important.
Of course it is.
Have you seen your face?
You're missing your Finland job, right?
You're not as mysterious as you think you are.
Can I ask you something?
Sanket was the reason why you left the job, right?
You don't have to tell me if you don't feel like talking about it.
Fuck it.
Yes.
He was a factor.
There wasn't a problem.
It's just that he had a way of doing things,
and my gut feeling told me that I can lead a team better than him.
That's it.
What?
There's no bad blood.
Of course.
We talk every week.
And I really like the project. The guys at AMEX are very nice.
It's actually a very, very good project.
The only thing is, it's going to take some time to adjust here.
It's a very different system here.
You'll call me an NRI for saying this, but…
In Finland, I didn't have to think about
what time Ishu should take the train from Thane
so she reaches work on time.
So you have an issue with Ishu?
You like this elevator music, or the old one?
-They've changed it? -Yeah.
-I didn't even know that. -Yeah, this one's more like…
Fuck, where's the key?
Fuck.
Think I left it.
Yeah.
I left it at the office.
-Seriously? -Yeah.
Yeah, for sure.
What else will go to shit now?
-Where to? -Come.
Hey! Papad!
Be careful.
What are you thinking?
It's been such a fucked up week, hasn't it?
