Ma, I'm going for a run.

Will you pick up

some bread on the way back?

Why just bread?

Eggs, milk, the

paper, I'll get them all!

Oh ho just a minute listen up..

Amaya..

Amaya?

Oh..this girl just never listens!

Remember this?

Hmmm..

I'm good..

Mr. Sinha, but the models are better.

Hmmm, that I agree!

Spectacular!

Spectacular my foot.

I'm looking like a Bijouka

Bijouka?

What's that?

Those things that stand in the fields..

Scarecrows!

But I like things

that stand in the fields..

Bijoukas!

Speaking of scarecrows,

I need to lose some weight.

WOW!

What a slick change of topic!

Hi Mrs. K! How are you?

Hey Mrs. K!

Wasssssup?

Young man, surely you mean

what is up?

And it's not Mrs. K,

it's Leela aunty.

Yeah yeah, we love you too Mrs. K!

Right, let me go

hang out with these monkeys!

I'll speak with her today.

Relax, there is no tearing hurry.

Wass..

What is up, uncle J!

Okay, so tell me..

Why do you bob your

heads like this while speaking?

We're in the groove uncle!

Oh! Groove..

"I wish for a tune, that I might play,"

"Which may bare my heart, I so pray."

"Lost in her tresses

as I watch her fly by,"

"Watching her over cups

of coffee, abysmally shy.."

"Who is she, do tell all"

"Facts on the table,

or we won't play ball.."

"It's a very simple formula,"

"Let your hearts speak and say Hurrah!"

"Hey Hey Hey"

"Mrs. K,"

"There's some

magic in your coffee today"

"Hey Hey Hey"

"Mrs. K,"

"There's some

magic in your coffee today"

"Know this that the heart is smitten,"

"Coffee in this cafe is

but an excuse for flirting.."

"Coffee in this cafe is

but an excuse for flirting.."

"Coffee in this cafe is

but an excuse for flirting.."

"Cherish these

moments, of love unspoken"

"Fill each second

with colours unbroken.."

"It's a very simple formula,"

"Live your life

carefree and without brouhaha!"

"Hey Hey Hey- "Mrs. K,"

"There's some

magic in your coffee today"

"Hey Hey Hey- "Mrs. K,"

"There's some

magic in your coffee today"

"Life's many colours,

inexplicable but inviting"

"Coffee in this cafe is

but an excuse for flirting.."

"Coffee in this cafe is

but an excuse for flirting.."

"Coffee in this cafe is

but an excuse for flirting.."

"Life is short and

shaded with many hues,"

"Live it like, you

have nothing to lose.."

"Where it may take you,"

"on it's journey so far,"

"Hey Hey Hey- "Mrs. K,"

"There's some magic

in your coffee today.."

"Hey Hey Hey- "Mrs. K,"

"There's some magic

in your coffee today.."

"Know this that the heart is smitten,"

"Coffee in this cafe is

but an excuse for flirting.."

"Coffee in this cafe is

but an excuse for flirting.."

"Coffee in this cafe is

but an excuse for flirting.."

A**hole.

Actually I'm the one at fault.

I should have

recognized the sort of man you are.

Don't bother, I QUIT!

Hi Amaya.

How was your day?

Don't ask.

Okay

No Ma, ask me..ask me!

Hi Amaya, how was your day?

Men are such bastards.

They only have one thing on their minds!

Sex.

Yeah.

N--

slapped my boss today.

Well..now my ex-boss.

Good!

We'll just re-register

on jobsearch.com yet again.

No problem.

So tell me.

What did he do?

Well,

actually he didn't do anything,

but he told me to sleep with him.

You didn't over-react did you?

Ma?!!?

So then what are you stressed about?

What you did was absolutely right.

Spoilt..

Mum, have you ever slapped anyone?

I mean other than me?

No.

Why?

You never felt like slapping anyone?

I did feel like it sometimes,

at your father.

What are you saying?

The two of you fought as well?

I don't remember that.

Actually, he was too nice for that,

which is why I felt like it!

Oh..

Is that why you

transferred all you angst to me?!

I'm really impulsive aren't I mum?

You remember what dad used to say?

Live by what you believe in,

even if it kills you.

The Busy Bazaar..

Which is the fool who says,

time stops for no one?

Look at this clock.

It's forever starting and stopping!

Every clock here is

like a traveler of sorts.

They stop when they

want to and go when they wish.

It's amazing Rizwaan bhai,

It seems like you've given

life to these inanimate clocks.

Sir,

what did you think?

That these clocks are lifeless?

These clocks are the ones that tell us,

when we entered this world

and when we left it's cloying confines.

Here please have some tea.

Thank you.

Very nice!

Tell me something?

Sitting in the midst of

all these different clocks,

how do you tell what is the right time?

Sir..

Who's to say what is

right and what is wrong?

That one moment,

spells celebration for someone

and mourning for someone else.

I actually want to ask you something.

Why do you take so many pictures?

Well, like you I also play with time.

I try to capture

every memorable moment as an image.

And why's that?

So that instead of

it being only a moment,

it remains preserved as

a beautiful memory instead.

Sir..

Memories must always

be preserved in the mind!

You can never trust

the mind either can you?

It's getting late, I must leave now..

But how will I find your shop again?

There is Abdul's

tea stall on the corner...?

Yes, I've seen it.

We're just off to it's right.

That's easy enough!

Whenever the pictures do get printed,

do show them to me as well.

Absolutely, that remains a promise.

So how hard did you actually slap him?

Care for a taster?!
