Twelve.
Pammi, I've been watching online training classes these days.
HIIT is the in thing on it.
You know it's very good for your core, very good for your poise.
It will be very useful for your pageant. Why don't you join me?
I don't have time for this. I am going to Vikrant's house.
I prepared fried bread and chick peas for him.
And anyway, I've told you this before.
I joined the pageant. I will do it my way.
Pammi, there is no 'I' in mari.. No 'I' in teamwork.
Oh, hi, Aalim.
Oh
Hello, aunty.
- Aalim miya. - Hi.
- Good morning, uncle. - You showed up after a long time.
You've come at an opportune moment.
Explain to her the importance of training in pageants these days.
??
Govind, this is just a club pageant. You are stretching this too far.
Isn't it?
Actually uncle is right.
But I know somebody and his name is Jacob.
He is a professional. He will come and teach you.
He'll teach you to walk, personality round, everything.
The only thing you have to manage on your own is the talent round.
Otherwise he's very good.
That goes without saying.
I am the expert at talent.
Hi. Shall we?
- Yes, please. - Bye.
- Where are you going?
What do you mean? I am going out.
??
- I will give you Jacob's number. - That won't be necessary.
No. No. Send me the number. Thanks, Aalim.
- ??. Okay, bye. - No need.
Be quiet.
- Thank you. - Oh. Hello..
??
I'm in trouble.
Zia. Zia. Leave that alone. Please do skipping. Okay?
- Hello. - Listen. I need your help.
Akanksha, I've told you so many times
I can't teach you to sleep with your eyes open. That is my gift.
Not that, idiot!
Everyone in this office is divided in groups.
I mean, how do I break the ice? What do I say to fit in immediately?
You know how terrible I am with all this.. small talk.
Don't skip here. You will slip over here. Go and skip over there.
Why is she skipping in the house?
She is participating in a talent competition
but we're going to stick to one problem at a time right now.
If you're having an issue with small talk, then don't talk at all.
What nonsense!
You have something that they don't have.
And what's that?
Money. You have money.
What? What does that mean?
Look, they are college graduates.
They would lay down and die for a free lunch or free meals.
So, what I'm basically saying is, just chill and buy their friendship.
Vikrant, only you would suggest something like that.
I am going now. Focus on buying yourself friends, okay.
Hi, dad.
Hi.
What are you doing here?
Weren't we supposed to meet at the business center?
Why did you assume we were to meet at the business center?
I felt we should speak in open air.
Dad, I wanted to talk about work.
You will never be truly satisfied with work until you're satisfied with life.
Dad.
The writer of this quote means to say that..
That?
That we will have the remaining conversation after swimming 5 laps.
O my God! Unbelievable.
Hi, mom.
Thank you so much.
Oh!
Why is Zia dancing in that manner?
Her school is conducting a talent competition
so we were wondering what she should do.
That's brilliant!
- Mom. - No, no. Not that.
Even I have to figure out what to do in talent round at the pageant.
- This will help both. - Okay.
Although I think that Zia might need little more help than me.
Turn. Turn. Turn.
I have planned everything including a 45 delay of which we have only..
- we can afford a 30 minute delay. - I'm very impressed Ms. Prerna.
Thank you, Mr. Aalim.
But where are we going?
Don't you know what a surprise means? Let it happen.
Okay.
If only one can move from this traffic.
What is with this traffic?
Metro work is going on all over the city, ma'am.
The whole city has been dug up.
This traffic jam is an obvious outcome.
You're right, ma'am.
How can a man live life if he is stuck in traffic six hours every day?
That's right. And you know what the problem is?
They want to dig up all the streets yet they don't want to talk to anyone.
The Metro company doesn't communicate with the water board.
The water board..
Doesn't communicate with the telephone company.
And the telephone cables are stuck under the street.
- And who is stuck on the street? - Us.
- Correct. - This is the problem.
Dig up the whole city but nobody wants to talk to anybody. Correct?
- Oh! Are you talking to me? - Yeah.
I thought you two want to go to our anniversary.
It's okay.
- I'm sorry. - Do it together and I shall leave.
- The metro is ready over here. - I'm sorry.
It's just that I really want to make today special.
- And this traffic is just.. - It is special.
One second. One second. One second. One second.
Most special.
Okay. Please. Please.
I don't think dance is a very good option for you both.
- Grandma. - Hmm.
I don't think so you can dance.
Zia, that's true but you cannot speak to grandma in that manner!
Please apologize.
Vikrant, stay focused on my problem. Please.
I feel that everyone is either dancing or singing in every competition.
We should do something completely different.
Something that none of the others can do.
And what's that?
I don't know.
Grandma.
Do you we need dad?
That's my question too.
Together, you both are being very rude. And it's not nice to be rude.
Bring me a glass of lemonade.
Akanksha, you really didn't have to take us out for lunch today.
Yeah, ma'am.
It is okay. I know this really good place that has the best sushi
and I thought it would be great to have some company.
And maybe catch up a little.
Actually, guys, I can't have sushi. I'm plant based.
- Yeah, you told me that. - Okay.
Hey, how about some Indian food?
There's always some plant based options there.
Sorry, actually I'm not eating gluten. I'm trying to lose some weight.
You know what, girls? I know just the place.
I think you'll really like it.
- Ansul. - Duh.
Sophia, don't pick that up.
Why? Honestly I don't like to do that.
We had this conversation.
Fine. Do whatever you want!
Five laps, you know.
I burned loads of calories for this beer and chips.
Dad, I was standing right here. You barely did two breadths.
You only walked after that.
Oh, alright. Are you my dietician? Have your beer.
Dad, I am receiving job offers, you know
but I don't know if I want to do a job or not.
Somehow I am not very excited about any of these offers.
You know I want to tell you about something.
That I should take the job.
I will receive a good salary and have a good position.
Listen to me first.
I'm sorry.
You know when we bought that black Lancer
way back in 2001 when I got promoted as a GM?
Of course I remember, dad.
I took Nidni on a proper date in that car.
Old one!
What if I told you that promotion was not my first choice?
What do you mean? I thought you loved that job.
I did. I did.
But during that time my colleague made me an interesting proposal.
You know to start a new warehousing business with him.
It had amazing potential.
But, you know, I had a fear.
Fear that I won't be able to provide for y'all if, you know, what if..
What if it doesn't go well?
That what if feeling has remained with me till date.
What if I got over the fear then?
Then?
So, do you regret it?
I can't say whether I regret it or no, but I was justified.
I had three children to provide for.
And you're.. what do you call it? Doink family.
Doink?
- DINK. - DINK.
DINK, dad. It's double income, no kids.
Exactly.
It's okay if you're confused today.
Do business if you want or take on a job if you want.
But don't be afraid.
Don't be afraid.
It's better to do something and fail rather than to be afraid.
Dhruv.
Honestly
The day I got fired, there was a part of me that was a little relieved
because I knew after that merger I would have to work nonstop
for 4-5 years at least.
The fear within me was only about
what mom and you would think, dad.
Have I let you down? Have I disappointed you?
I don't want to let you down, dad.
I know. I understand.
I understand.
Don't. Don't fear it.
And cheer up!
How mature!
Cheer up to no fear!
- No fear. - No fear.
Go ahead.
Because many people claim the site crashes
if they use the coupon code at the time of payment
and that's a big problem.
Yes, I'll tell you about the glass bottles tomorrow.
For sure. But please let's just fix this. This is important.
Okay, bye.
Guys.
Guys. I don't think this is fully working.
But I have an idea.
So far we have been looking for talent.
Wouldn't it be better to build a talent?
Mime is a good idea for Zia. In fact, I love you when you're miming.
- Remain this way. - What do you mean?
Like this, mom. Which talent is it that people don't expect of you
but if you show it to people their minds will be blown?
Papa, if I speak while miming, that's great, na?
How will you speak without moving your mouth?
I don't get it. You mean like a stunt?
Should I make an entry on stage doing wheelies on a bike?
You're past that stage a bit, but this is it. Think on those lines.
Like, say magic tricks.
How will I learn them so soon?
Juggling?
I think it's a good idea. It might be a good idea.
Juggling? You want me to show you juggling videos?
- Please. - Okay.
This is how it's done. Like this.
Whoo!
Good one. She got it.
- I didn't expect that one. - Hey! Wow!
Amazing!
Not bad.
I clearly got you all wrong there.
Cheers, girls!
So, what is this phone call mystery then?
So I met this guy named Vin.
Very cute. Love the environment and fit.
Nice!
So what's the problem?
Here! I matched with him on the same dating app
and we also had a great time.
- Wow! - Yeah.
Because of this guy everything between us is a little awkward.
Because both of us like him
but neither of us knew the other was seeing him.
Confusion! Confusion!
O my God! Guys, it's Ved.
- What do I do? - Why don't you guys just ask him?
Put him it speaker. Let's see what happens.
Okay.
- Hi, Ved. - Hi, babe. What are you doing?
Oh! So sorry to disappoint you but this isn't Rasika.
It's her friend Akanksha.
Actually, I'm also a friend of Sophia.
Sophie Mathews?
It has turned into a peculiar situation, buddy.
Apparently you matched with both of them...
...and they are colleagues and friends.
We were just wondering, you know, instead of wasting anyone's time,
where you at?
I'm sorry but this is sounding too hectic for me.
I mean, honestly I'm not that sure about them.
I think it's best I stop talking to both of them altogether
To avoid any problems between them. Thanks Akshata! Bye.
Cheers, buddy!
Seriously?
O my God! I can't believe this.
I know, right?
Okay, here's to the end of it and to a day of bowling. What do you say?
- Yes. - Yes!
- Cheers! - And to Akanksha.
- Cheers! - Cheers!
Thank you. Thank you.
What's the matter?
Plan A didn't work out.
And what was plan A?
It was basic..
Are you mad? I'm never telling you plan A.
Oh! It's not working out.
- Let me know, na. - No.
I have another idea.
- Just give me a second. - Okay.
How about plan B?
We could go home, relax and take a chill pill.
I really want to make this night special, na.
- Of course. - Thanks.
Close your ears.
I mean it.
??
Hi. Listen. Listen. Listen. Listen. Listen. I need a big favor.
Yeah. Prerna, just one second.
Yes, Shrishti.
Listen, I know that you've submitted your whole weekly workings
but that expenditure report at the last campaign had to be closed today.
I really missed a few numbers. I'm really stressed.
Are you busy? Listen, I need your help.
I really missed the sailboat.
Don't stress. Don't stress. I got this.
I'll make a call and sort this. Don't worry.
Okay, okay. Thanks, Nidhi. I really owe you big time.
Okay, bye.
Okay, and..
Ta-dah!
- Sorted? - Yes.
I'm sending you a location pin, mister. Please take us there.
Okay, ma'am.
Just trust me, please.
No, no. I'm quite enjoying this.
You're full of surprises today.
Yeah, I know. I surprise myself also.
Wait, I have one more surprise for you.
- Okay, listen, Rasika. - Hmm.
Who are you going to see tomorrow?
- Let me have a look at my calendar. - Yeah, see na.
Oh! Tomorrow I have a meeting set up with the beer startup guys.
- Wow! - Wow!
big. ??
Akanksha, what about you?
I don't know actually. Let me check.
- Mommy and I. - Hmm.
- Kid easy. - Hmm.
- Toddler haven. - Hmm.
- Under 13. - Wow, Akanksha! Lucky you.
I think Rohan's making damn good use of your personal experiences.
Yeah. He gave you all the mommy and teenage clients.
Nice!
Yes, we are unable to do them.
Yeah, I guess.
- Great, Okay! - Okay.
I think this looks great. All we need to do is just...
Pammi, I have a damn good idea for your talent round.
What are you doing?
Juggling. My new talent.
- Really? - I can still learn new things.
Very nice. Very nice.
- Can I help you with it? - No, thank you.
Sit down.
- ?? - Okay!
Okay.
- Watch. - When grandma came over today...
then you spoke with your mouth shut, remember?
- hmm. - Okay.
Now I have a surprise for you.
- Are you ready? - Yes.
Hello, Ziu. How are you?
- I am a sock-a-puppet. How are you? - I'm fine.
Okay, we shall conduct an experiment.
Ziu, just like you were talking with your mouth closed
you have to talk like that only and just imagine this sock puppet is dad.
Come on.
Dad, what will we have for dinner today? Zia today's pizza.
Because I am super dad.
Yes! I am super dad!
You know what? We will have pizza today
and whatever topping you want, you get.
- Yay! - Very good!
- Hello. - Mama!
Hi, baby.
Mama, I want to practice. I'll talk to you later. Bye.
Excellent!
- I'll ask context later? - Yes.
So how many new friends did you buy today?
It actually.. It actually worked out well.
Good!
Then why are you pouting?
I don't know. This new boss of mine,
he's giving me all these mommy specific,
age specific kid related clients.
What has that got to do with anything?
What has that got to do with me selling an HR app to clients?
What has that got to do with my own talent, my skills?
Yeah.
Maybe I'm overthinking.
- Oh! - Just buy friends, Akanksha.
Why don't you do that?
Oh, Vikrant. You're such an idiot!
- Zia! - Zia!
Are we there yet? - Stop it.
O my God!
But how?
Well, as you said, we could have gone to my house.
We could have watched something, drank wine and had food.
But it's my turn to make things special tonight.
Perfect!
I have one more trick up my sleeve!
