London Paris New York Page #3

and spend the money you got from the airline.

Let's take in the sights of London, let's have an adventure.

But your uncle?

I don't think you heard my story properly.

Today is the first day of my freedom...

and I don't want to spend it eating Indian food made by my Aunt.

So come, it will be fun. We'll explore London.

What do you say?

C'mon. I am a safer option than a sleazy hotel room.

C'mon! I'm a good guy.

Your first day of independence.

I will have to call my parents.

And I will have to call my parents.

So, you're joining film school?

That's right.

Actually, I don't watch films.

How can you be a patriotic Indian and not watch films?

I like books.

I like to imagine.

I, Lalitha Krishnan, daughter of Bina Krishnan and Murali Krishnan...

Am soaking in the sun, in Central London.

God... pinch me.

Ouch!

What the...

You said, pinch me...

I said, 'God' pinch me.

Freedom!

This actually feels so good.

Come on, shout with me.

Feels really nice. C'mon.

On three...

One... two...

FREE...

Don't be a bore. Shout with me.

I'm doing no such thing.

You know... all you have to do is...

just feel it from inside and say...

Freedom!

Hey, don't do this.

Lalitha...

You know what. I'll continue shouting like this till you join me.

Freedom! Freedom!

Nikhil, you are crazy.

And you're quite brave to be out with a crazy guy.

I could be a rapist or a killer...

For that you have to first stop being a Mummy's boy!

Freedom!

What's wrong now?

You said, we'll explore London.

That's what we are doing. How else do you want to explore?

What's this?

'To see' list?

You know, every time I read something interesting about a city...

I write it down.

Do you know, why Big Ben is called Big Ben?

Even though it was designed by Charles Barry?

There are two theories to this...

Lalitha-pedia!

Yes, Lalithapedia.

Lalithapedia, that's the right name for you.

What? It's funny.

What the...

I'm to blame for this too?

You said it is summer!

That's how British summer is. Read your book.

What?

You won't melt in two minutes.

Sit down.

Come on, sit.

Be in the moment.

Isn't this a beautiful church?

Yes.

Do you know the church was to be demolished to make way for a parking lot?

Why wasn't it done?

Because... The people protested and saved it.

If this were India...

an ugly shopping mall would have come in its place.

That's a church piano. You can't touch it.

You want to listen to a song?

What are you doing?

I wrote it myself.

If you like it, you can dance to it.

"She looks innocent and nave."

"She says she doesn't understand anything."

"But she's so smart inside."

"Sometimes strange...sometimes she looks beautiful."

"Sometimes she looks like a scene right out of some book."
