- What's this, Bittu's mom? - Gooseberry marmalade.
You've brought this for us? Really?
You see, last week, while I was coming back from the temple,
I saw a tempo carrying gooseberries toppled on the roadside.
I asked the driver, 'Are you hurt?'. He said, 'No'.
So, I took it as a blessing from God and picked up the gooseberries.
Five kilos! And I made the marmalade with it.
Since Aman and Annu like marmalade, I brought some for them.
When I keep marmalade jars on the terrace for drying,
I find them all open.
Aman was saying that monkeys come on the terrace.
Right. Just so they don't come again,
I've come to the monkey myself.
Your tales of dacoity are being discussed in the courtyard.
Ten years ago, I stole and ate marmalade from her jars.
How is that dacoity?
What about all the sugar she has taken from us to stack her kitchen?
You're becoming quite blunt nowadays, Aman.
Since when have you started taking aunt's side, Annu?
Today, you're keeping scores with aunt. Tomorrow, it will be me.
How does it matter? It's not like she heard me.
Annu... Listen, Brother Annu.
- That yellow jacket... - You can't get it!
- It's so cold. - Then do some sit-ups and warm up.
Actually,
I've to go to Surya Narayan's place today.
Really?
- It'll get late in the evening and it's cold.
Yes, sir.
No, sir. I'm about to leave.
It's a 30-minute drive. I'll be there in 20 minutes.
Sure, sir. I'll do it.
Thank you, sir. Thank you. Bye.
Good God!
It must be Shashi Ranjan, right? No, I mean,
had it been Lucky or me, you would have just shooed us away rudely.
But for him, your tone automatically changes.
Don't mess with me right in the morning, Aman.
Wants to wear my jacket it seems.
Aman! Why did you shut the door?
Hey! You want me to set you right?
- Aman! - Annu, come here.
- Come and look. Aunt has got marmalade. - Yes.
Hello. What's up, Surya Narayan?
I've taken my clothes.
Just get the perfume. I haven't bathed, you see.
It's a big day, bro. I'm very nervous.
Alright, then. Okay. Bye.
It looks delicious.
But it smells a bit weird. Smell it.
It must be the jar's smell.
- You picked it from the roadside. Did you wash it? -Of course, yes.
I washed it so well just like Mrs. Sahu's son got bashed up.
Mr. Sahu's son got bashed up? When? How?
- You don't know? - No.
Mr. Sahu's younger son, Akash,
goes for coaching at the Pataal Academy.
The coaching got over at 5 pm and Akash came home at 8 pm.
When his parents asked him, he said he had extra classes going on.
Mr. Sahu got suspicious. The next day, he went to the Pataal Academy.
And after the class was over, he saw
that Akash rode away on a moped to have fun along with his friends.
As he followed the moped on his scooter,
Mr. Sahu reached Hotel Diamond.
Oh! The same place where you get very good Paneer Pasanda, right?
No. You get Paneer Pasanda on the first floor.
Akash got caught on the second floor.
- What's there on the second floor? - On that floor, there's Hookah.
Bubble, exhale. Bubble, exhale.
When Mr. Sahu went upstairs, he saw that Akash
was smoking the hookah. And when he lifted his head to exhale,
he saw Mr. Sahu's slipper staring him in the face.
Mr. Sahu bashed him. He clobbered him like a drum.
And clobbered him all the way back home.
When they reached home, the boy immediately flipped the story.
He said to Mr. Sahu, 'You insulted me in front of my friends.'
'Apologise to me.'
- So then, did Mr. Sahu apologise? - No way.
He just clobbered him in the hotel.
At home, he smashed and thrashed him like a washerman.
Akash got bashed up terribly by him.
- All the bubbles fizzled out of him. - He deserved it.
After that day, every morning, after signing at the office,
Mr. Sahu himself drops Akash at the Pataal Academy daily.
And brings him back home from the Pataal Academy at 5 pm.
Just see. We need to keep such sharp eyes on the kids.
Can't help it.
Aman, look. I've got marmalade for you.
He didn't even greet me.
Don't mind him. He was in a hurry. He mustn't have noticed you.
- Yes. - Mrs. Sahu was saying
that even her son doesn't greet anyone these days.
Did you see that, dad? He has taken my jacket despite me saying no.
- Did you want to wear it? - No, I didn't. But I forbade him.
He pays heed to no one. I'm getting late. Or I would have set him right.
Mr. Mishra,
Annu has started earning now. No point in advising him.
But Aman is still young. You need to keep an eye on him.
Well, I, for one, will surely keep tabs on him. I'm your neighbour.
I gave marmalade to Mrs. Shukla too. She said, 'It's so good.
But why are you giving it for free?'
I'll give it to you for 300 rupees.
I'll get going. I better give it to all the neighbours.
'When Shravan Kumar died of King Dashrath's arrow,'
'his parents cursed Dashrath with the grief due to the loss of a son.'
'In this case, the grief of disappointment from a son.'
'That was a story from the Treta Age.'
'They say, the sons of that Age were more virtuous than of this Dark Age.'
'These days, disappointment from sons is as common as diabetes.'
'If the son sits idle at home, it's a disappointment.'
'If the son doesn't come back home, then too it's a disappointment.'
'But these modern-day kids are no less. If they make mistakes,'
'they just blame it on something lacking in their childhood as trauma,'
'and shame their parents.'
'The only difference is, Shravan Kumar took his parents'
'on a pilgrimage, carrying them on his shoulder in baskets.'
'And these modern-day kids burden their parents with guilt trips.'
'Episode 4, The Third Wheel.'
Keep the washed clothes separately. Keep the ironed ones separately.
Don't these kids understand? I keep saying it so many times.
- I'm going, Shanti. - Of course. You're off to work.
At least when there's a guest at home, they could behave decently.
But why would your sons care?
Bittu's mom keeps coming and going as if she lives here.
Now, if the kids don't treat her like a guest, what can I do?
I can't be a father like Mr. Sahu.
I'm a very open-minded man.
Beware. Or you might lose your respect for being open-minded.
Now, they're fighting with each other. Then they'll fight with you.
- You know what, Shanti? - What?
I think the root cause of this problem is their room.
Both of them are irritated because they have to adjust in one room.
Since they can't say anything to me, they fight with each other.
- Do we get a new room made then? - I'm not saying that.
The prayer room that we have, in the same room, we can put
a table and a chair for Aman. And perhaps, a mattress too.
Both of them will have two separate rooms. What do you think?
If Aman occupies the prayer room, then where will we keep God's idol?
This entire house belongs to God Almighty.
We can seat Him beside the piggy bank.
And if not, we will keep God's idol in our room. What's the big deal?
- It's a bad deal. - No. Look.
The thing is, we have freshly made marmalade in the house.
So, tonight, make jackfruit curry.
It's been days since I ate jackfruit curry.
There are hardly any onions and potatoes at home
- and you want jackfruit? - I'll get everything. Don't worry.
Just think about it. Aman and Annu
are relishing your tasty jackfruit curry and singing your praises.
And right then, I'll announce, 'From today, both of you
will have your own personal rooms.'
Aman will fall at my feet, I swear.
You're going to obsess over this. Now, you'll do what you want.
But first, find a new place for God's idol.
Use both your hands, man. You're taking forever.
I'm doing it, sir. Why are you getting so worked up?
It's AC work. It's not like I'm changing a bulb.
The font could have been better at the entrance.
- Anyone there? Hello! - Hey!
- Whom do you want to meet? - Dr. Preeti.
- Are you an MR? - Yes. From Mangala Pharma.
The clinic is not yet inaugurated and you guys are already hovering.
Who are you, mister?
I am Chandan Kushwaha. I take care of all the work for Dr. Preeti.
- Here you go. -Chandan sir! I've heard a lot about you.
- Sir, I got this betel leaf for you. - I don't consume tobacco.
Sir, actually, a doctor known to me said,
'Preeti madam has opened a new clinic. Go and pay a visit.'
I said, 'Sir, you thought about me. It means a lot.'
- You know, Dr. S.K. Singh. Preeti madam's dad. -I know.
- He told you himself? - How can he tell me such things?
We installed a water cooler, AC, fridge, and a fan too in his clinic.
Just give us a chance and we'll get everything installed for you too.
Listen, Sunaina Cooling Service.
For what are you taking the measurements?
- For the water cooler, sir. - When will you install it?
Tomorrow morning by 11.
Brother, you're a bit late, you see.
Do one thing. Come after two days.
Relax in the waiting area.
- Get yourself warm. The heater has been installed. -A heater? Really?
Sir! Sir, listen.
Sir, just hear me out. Whatever you need, I'll get it done.
I have been doing this job for the last 20 years.
- I know very well what you want. Okay? - But, sir...
- Good morning, madam. - Good morning.
Mr. Chandan, when will the dental chairs be installed?
- This evening, madam. - You've been saying this for 3 days now.
Excuse me. Just give me a minute. Dr. Preeti.
- Yes. Greetings. - Greetings. My name is Anand Mishra.
I'm from Mangala Pharma. Since you've opened a new clinic,
I wanted to come personally and congratulate you. This is for you.
- He's an MR, madam. - Yes, madam.
Thank you. But this was not necessary.
Why are you saying thank you? I should be the one thanking you.
I've learnt a lot from your dad.
This is my first job and you too have newly opened this clinic.
So, I promised your dad that
whatever help you need to set up this clinic, I shall do it.
Okay. Mr. Chandan, is there anything to be done?
Madam, he promised your dad.
- Your dad hasn't promised him. - No. He too has.
- Really? - Mr. Mishra.
Look. Almost everything is done.
Why don't you just come for the inauguration tomorrow?
You can meet Dr. Singh too. Okay?
- I'll take the flowers. That's very sweet of you. -Thank you. Just a second.
Dr. Preeti, can I give you my card?
- Mr. Chandan. -Give it to me. She told me to take it, right?
I'll take it. Come on. Goodbye.
- Thank you, madam. Thank you, sir. - Thank you.
Yes, sir. I'm outside the clinic. Everything has been set up here.
AC, water cooler, heater, and even the fans have been installed, sir.
Oh, you're in a meeting?
Okay, sir. I'll be there. Yes.
Hey, hurry up, Aman.
I'm done, bro. I'm ready. Move.
Help me wear this jacket, please.
By the way, there's no need for you to dress up so much.
It's Shilpi and my date.
- Okay, bro. In that case, I'll go back. - Hey, no. Wait.
You need to be visible to the people.
But around Shilpi and me, you need to be invisible.
Unseen! Do you understand?
Do you see this auto?
- How many wheels does it have? Yes. - Three.
The two wheels at the back are a pair.
They both always move parallelly.
This one's me and that's your future sister-in-law,
- Shilpi. - Okay.
And the wheel in the front moves all alone.
- It's called the third wheel. What? Aman! -The third wheel.
- That's you. - If that's me
and this auto gets hit, I'll be the first one to get mangled.
I'm already very nervous, Surya Narayan.
I feel like I should leave.
Hey, hold on. Where are you going? You're already panicking?
Panicking is a very good thing, Surya Narayan.
You are a history student. Tell me about any one person who was brave
- and alive as well. - Why are you getting angry?
Take this. Spray it on. Smell good. You haven't bathed anyway.
Go on. Spray more. It smells good, doesn't it? Now, listen carefully.
In front of Shilpi, you mustn't call me Surya Narayan.
- Then what should I call you? - Sunny.
- She too lovingly calls me Sunny. - Sunny sounds great, bro.
It's an apt translation of your Hindi name.
Sunny as in Sun, and Shilpi.
- It rhymes so well, bro. - Well said, bro.
- Where do you want to go? 70 rupees. - How much for Cant.?
70 rupees! That's too much. Let's go.
- We left our bags inside! - Mister, where are you peeking?
Take it.
Look.
Thank you.
Why are you so nervous?
I'm going to have coffee with a girl for the first time.
I'm not some Bollywood hero to spring into action just like that.
- Do I look good? - Stop getting so jittery.
Listen to me carefully.
When Shilpi comes, move your chair and sit by my side.
Why? Aren't we sitting properly right now?
When Shilpi comes, she'll sit next to you.
Siblings sit next to each other.
She will sit right in front of me where you're sitting right now.
Just like them.
Fine. Let Shilpi come and sit in front of you. And I'll sit next to her.
I see. You want to sit next to Shilpi when I am right here?
Didn't you just say that siblings sit next to each other?
You're my brother. If you sit with her, you'll become her brother too.
And then she will also be my...
- What? - Sister!
Forget it. All you need to remember
is that when Shilpi comes, just move your chair and sit next to me.
Look. All our three chairs should be equidistant
like a triangle. Exactly like this.
Shilpi!
Who is this with Shilpi?
- Hi, Shilpi. - Hi, Surya Narayan.
- This is my friend, Aman. - Hi.
- This is Aditi. My friend and classmate. - Hi.
- I think we'll need extra chairs. - Oh, yes.
We were supposed to sit facing each other. And you made a rectangle?
- No. This is good. - Yes.
Okay.
What happened, Surya Narayan? You look sad.
- Have you been waiting here since morning? -No, no.
- We keep coming here every day. - I see.
Aman, have we met before?
- Yes, once. - Where?
You were going home from school.
I was going home after buying curd.
Going home after buying what?
Never mind all that. Let's consider this as our first meeting.
Oh, yes. I remembered. You slipped.
So, was the curd safe or did it get spilt?
No. I saved it.
And the next day, we made Raita with it.
Everyone had it. There was some leftover. So, we fed it to the cow.
- Then a dog ate the cow's leftovers. -Does a dog eat Raita?
A soul hungry for love eats whatever it gets.
- Aww! - Aww!
- He talks so sweetly, doesn't he? - Very sweet.
Yes. That he is. Come, Aman. Let's go order some cold coffee.
- Why? Someone will come to the table to take the order. -No.
Aman has a special coupon.
- Me? - The one that gets a 20% discount.
I too have one. Come, Aman. Let's get a 40% discount.
Hey, what happened, bro?
Look, Aman. I can see that you're trying to hit it off with Aditi.
But all this sugar-coated talk of yours can spoil things for me.
What did I do now?
I was talking just like I normally do.
Of course. You are the king of sweet talk, aren't you?
People automatically fall for you even if you don't want them to. Right?
Come on. Look, Surya Narayan. I'm very nervous, as it is.
The first time when I saw Aditi, I dropped the curd.
And now, you saw how my jaw dropped, didn't you?
Be careful or your respect might get spilt too.
You do all the talking now. Okay?
Sure. Why don't you just take a vow of silence?
'There's a rule in geometry.'
'The sum of all the angles of a triangle is 180 degrees.'
'And if one more angle gets added to it,'
'then the sum of the angles becomes twice.'
'Getting a banana without any expectation'
'gives as much satisfaction as buying a mango.'
'Where's the fun in planning and meeting?'
'The actual fun is in an unexpected meeting.'
'But an unexpected meeting doesn't always give joy.'
'Sometimes, the joy gets shrouded by clouds of unhappiness.'
'The three-wheeler auto in which Aman was riding,'
'an unexpected fourth wheel has got attached to it.'
'Now, it's no longer an auto. It has become a car.'
'This car won't just run on the road. It will zoom.'
'Even if nobody is in front of it,'
'it will still honk.'
- Bro, how is this card? - It's very beautiful.
Bro, which one of these two cards is more beautiful?
Both are great, bro. That one even has swans on it.
Come on, man! You're saying the same for all the cards.
Ever since I've met Aditi, my dear Surya Narayan,
everything seems great to me.
I feel as though I've found my matching wheel.
The one I can move parallelly with.
Bro, then use this great mood and write my love letter today.
I'll give it to Shilpi along with this greeting card.
Besides, I've already told you how I feel for her, right?
All you need to do is to choose the right words. Today itself. Please.
Because of you, I met Aditi, Surya Narayan.
I'll weave pearls into your love letter. I'll write it tonight.
Surya Narayan, I can't figure out where I can change my clothes.
There's a good public toilet at the next crossing. Get changed there.
We'll manage. Here, take this, mister. Let's go.
Hello, sir.
Sir, I met Chandan. The bugger is working for the Steady Life guys.
I told him about you. I even offered him a betel leaf.
- But he's not budging. -It's my mistake. I got friendly with you.
- And you took me lightly. - No, sir. Why would you say that?
I told you to get in touch with Dr. Preety two weeks ago.
You showed up today.
- I was in touch with her. But she was... - Don't talk like a moron.
You kept sleeping and the Steady Life guys swooped her assistant.
Now, go twiddle your thumbs.
I wasn't sitting idle. I was checking the stocks.
Are you overworked? Shall I unburden you?
- Sir, you can't talk to me like that. - Shut up!
I don't care. Cajole, mollycoddle, or tempt her assistant.
Rub your nose or beg at his feet. I just want sales from day one.
Now, go and get a matchstick for me.
Mishra!
These kids. They never answer their phones.
What an aroma!
Garnish it with some coriander leaves. It will taste heavenly.
Move away. Or you'll drool right into the curry.
No, I won't.
- Shall I make you hot rotis? - No. Not now.
Let the boys come. We'll eat together.
Besides, I also have that room announcement to make. Yes.
Shall I get you the ice?
No. Let it be. The boys have grown up now.
You come here.
- Come. Just come. - What? But...
Stop it. What are you doing? No, don't.
- What took you so long? - I'll change and come.
Why is he so agitated these days?
Call Aman. Do you have Surya Narayan's number?
- No, I don't. - Then you should have it.
Here comes the prince.
You're unbelievable. Why aren't you answering your phone?
It must be on silent mode, dad.
What do you mean by it must be? You must have put it on silent mode.
Listen, give me Surya Narayan's number.
- Why? -What why? You hang out with him. If you don't answer,
- at least he will answer. - But, mom, why do you need to call?
I had informed you I'll come home late.
- We were studying. - Oh, really?
- Your face says you're coming from the Hotel Diamond. -Where is that?
- You don't know? - I really don't know, dad.
What are you hiding from me?
- Nothing, dad. - Thief!
I didn't steal it.
When I get one for myself, I won't even touch it.
It's okay. I'll get you a new one.
- Take the money from me. - Can you smell the stench?
Were you rolling in the dirt with this?
I was rolling in the pages of history.
What's wrong, Annu? Why are you so fiery?
- Did Shashi Ranjan stir you up? - What did you say?
- Dad, are you noticing his disrespectful tone? -Yes.
- Are you going to shut him up or shall I? -Go on, do it.
I'm easy to boss over, right?
- Hey! What are you two doing? - Just a minute, dad. Hold on.
Say it freely. What's on your mind?
What do you know about Shashi Ranjan and me
- that you've been taunting since morning? -Okay, enough!
Go and get changed. Your mom has made
her special jackfruit curry. Let's eat together.
- Yes. - I'm making hot rotis too.
Mom, I've eaten at Surya Narayan's place.
- I'm not hungry too. - What?
Aman, are you going inside the room?
- Don't latch the door. - I need to get changed.
Can't I have some time of my own?
Of course, you can. Why some? Enjoy lots of personal time.
- I won't stand there watching you nude. Don't latch the door. -Come on.
That's enough.
Aman, if this door opens tonight, I swear, I don't know what I'll do.
- I'm not going to open the door. - Exactly. Don't open the door.
I've latched it willingly and not out of your fear.
Remember the fear that's making you stay inside.
- There's no fear at all. - Listen to me.
- Zip it. Stay within your limits. - Or what? What will you do, Annu?
- Let it go, man! - Annu, stop it.
Why don't you say something to him?
You always defend him.
I'm going.
Where are you going at this hour?
'When the child gets his driving license,'
'he suddenly thinks that he is a grown-up.'
'But parents realise that he has actually grown up'
'when his hand reaches the latch at the top of the door.'
'Growing up doesn't require effort.'
'But becoming wise does.'
'And a child becomes wise only after making a few mistakes.'
'This phase of making mistakes is called adulting.'
'And managing these mistakes is called parenting.'
'The final match is set.'
'Mom and dad's parenting versus Aaman Mishra's adulting.'
'And the venue is the courtyard of the Mishra house.'
Call him and give him an earful.
Why do you tolerate it? If you can't, let me do it.
I don't need you to give him an earful.
Remember what happened when we went to Princu's place and gave an earful?
Annu, you are very talented.
People will hire you happily. Quit this job, man.
I quit SSC. I quit the gas agency. You want me to quit this job too?
I can't keep running away from people like Shashi Ranjan.
This Shashi Ranjan has a boss just like him
who abuses him all the time. He didn't quit his job.
Annu is right. I am jobless.
- I wish someone would abuse me too. - Shall I fulfil your desire?
Listen, don't worry. I'll take care of everything.
AC, fridge, cooler, I'll get you everything at a discount.
Give me two days.
Are you going on a pilgrimage for two days?
- It's her birthday. - Whose birthday?
Sunaina's.
- The under-age Sunaina? - The under-age Sunaina?
Today is her 18th birthday.
- Are you invited? - I would have been.
Last Holi, I rubbed grease on her dad's palm instead of colour.
So, she's a bit miffed at me.
- How will you go? - The party is at Sunaina's dad's godown.
I've bribed the lineman and made a plan.
The moment he cuts the power, I'll be inside the godown.
Who organises a party at a godown?
Rich people do. They can do anything.
He has a dealership of AC, fridge, cooler, etc.
What a petty question!
What's the name of the agency?
- Sunaina cooling service. - Sunaina cooling service.
Cheers!
- No, bro. No. - Come on. Aren't you my friend?
- No, bro. Don't. - Drink up your tea.
Hey, Surya Narayan. What's the name of my future sister-in-law?
Shilpi. What else? Did you forget that you even did a rhyming?
Sorry, I forgot. I was going to write Aditi's name by mistake.
Don't make that mistake. You'll have to pay a heavy price.
What do I tell you now, bro? Ever since I've met Aditi,
I've been thinking only about her.
Focus on my letter. And listen,
write Shilpi's name correctly in Hindi.
Just hang up now.
Otherwise, I'll write a letter that will get you screwed up.
What's this?
