You know how

broad-minded we are!

Of course.

Okay, mom,

I have a test tomorrow so...

I'll hang up now.

Okay, bye.

You don't talk to your father?

Why?

Long story.

So?

So... not today.

What do your parents expect?

After graduation?

I don't know.

I just want to

earn a lot of money.

And then?

Then...

Then l...

actually want to be a writer.

Really?

What will you write?

Haven't thought about it...

Simple things...

Stories about people like us...

I don't want to preach...

I just want to write good,

honest stories.

Whether the story

has a hero or not...

the story should be the hero.

I'm talking nonsense, right?

Not really...

And you?

Mom thinks I can't

do anything...

but most likely

a Marketing job.

For now, I just need

to get good grades.

Ohhh...

So that's why you

made friends with me!

Control yourself...

You're not that

much of a genius.

Okay...

- Goodnight.

- Goodnight.

Krish!

Your theory...

The "Honest Story",

the "Hero" one...

It's very good.

I mean it!

Bye.

Maybe she was

interested in me...

Now... Instead of being happy,

I panicked.

I started behaving

like an idiot.

Krish!

B Plus.

Your shuns are rather short.

What did you get?

A minus.

How?!

I am a gold medalist

in Economics!

Do one thing....

Go show your medal

to Professor Chatterjee.

What's wrong with you?

Nothing.

What could be wrong?

Okay, come on, let's go out.

I owe you a treat!

Dressed like that?

Yes!

Why?

Are you feeling shy?

Aren't you?!

People are staring!

These guys will

stare no matter what I wear!

So you want to excite

people around here?!

I don't want to excite anybody!

You llTians are

excited enough already!

Looking at me obviously

excites you more...

but I really can't

do anything about it.

Krish!!!

Are you serious?! You're

really not coming with me?

"My naive, simple

heart was fine by itself"

"And then you came along

and turned it on its head"

"l was falling

in love with you"

"But you said

we're just friends"

"Desire coursed through me"

"But I could do nothing..."

"I can't escape"

"Love is snapping at my heels"

"ls this a comedy?"

"Or a tragedy?"

"Never wanted it,

now I'm stuck with it"

"I'm confuzzled in love!"

"I'm confuzzled in love!"

"What an absurd state I'm in"

"What is this mood God is in?"

"Why does he gamble

away my heart?"

"This pretense of friendship

feels like monotony"

"And I play at it, even

though my heart's not in it"

"l was doing fine by myself"

"Now like a dead flower,

I wilt"

"Used to be a dependable lad"

"Now I'm as useful

as a dried up pen"

"l lie awake at night"

"You've stolen my sleep"

"And when I do sleep"

"There you are peeping"
