waiting an hour for you.

Almost done, Rahul.

These things take time.

Why don't you understand?

How long are we

going to meet like this?

Till your husband finds out

- Very funny!

Doctor, the key's fallen. Got it!

Your letter.

- Thank you.

From my mother. The same old story.

She insists I get married.

Will you marry...

...according to your

wishes or your mother's?

I'll marry whom I choose.

- When?

When I find a girl.

So you can't find a girl?

Good night.

Listen, petrol and

youth don't last forever.

Use them carefully. Good night.

Good night.

My dad was a

musician in a restaurant.

But I had learnt long back that...

...money makes the sweetest music.

So I came to Mumbai.

Uncle got me a job

in a call center...

...and made me the guard of his

empty flat and went to Singapore.

I listen to the abuses of

15000 Americans for 15000 rupees.

But I didn't mortgage my

life for camera phones...

...pizzas and discotheques.

I have come here to win the

race and not for a morning walk...

...and I will win this race.

Because I have the key that

opens every door of success.

Yes sir.

- Rahul, I want the keys.

Sir, I was going to sleep sir.

Try to understand, I have

already given the advance.

Sir, there is a lot of work in

the office tomorrow, please...

Even I have a lot of work, I have

to make your performance report.

Sir... sir do you

remember your promise sir?

Don't worry Rahul, I will make the

recommendation for your promotion.

You just handle the head

of the personnel department.

Sir, I just handled him.

But his P.A is very stubborn.

Sir, he can be

handled at lunch time...

...with the typist.

- Smart boy hurry up.

Sir, one more thing hello... okay.

After you left I kept

going back to the station

...Thinking that perhaps

you would come you didn't...

...I got married, had kids but

like you even they've left for USA

I will wait for you.

At the same place

where you left me waiting.

...I am now old Amol, if

you are disappointed...

...when you see me,

please hide it...

Aunt, I will buy some magazines.

You have still not given up

your habit of taking shortcuts.

I was on the wrong platform.

You have not changed at all.

You have not changed either.

You are still as beautiful as ever.

Wait a minute, friend.

Rahul, hi.

- Hi sir.

Rahul, I need the keys

to your flat tonight.

Today there is a booking for Mr.

Khanna, yours is on Friday.

My wife is having

her delivery on Friday.

What will I say to Mr. Khanna?

You say anything you

want to Mr. Khanna.

Look, I have to prepare your

promotion report too, understand.

Sir, you are blackmailing me.

Now Rahul, whether

it is blackmail or...
