Said he's tired and sleepy.

- Neither is he tired nor sleepy.

- Meaning?

l know him very well.

He must be reading something.

- You mean it was an excuse.

- To get rid of us.

Because he's not

interested in anything.

Not even in pretty girls?

Girls? He runs miles away from them.

He's a modern Viswamitra.

lf l disturb his penance...?

l'll throw a grand party

for you and your friends!

- What's this?

- A picture and this for real.

- l'm busy and Akash isn't here.

- l know that.

But what do l do? Since l set

eyes on you, l see only you!

You misunderstand me.

l'm not interested in these things.

l know that you're the

modern Viswamitra.

But my name is Menaka.

And l've come to

disrupt your penance.

Considering that you're Akash's

friend, l'm asking you to leave.

And if l don't go?

l'll have you thrown out of here.

You can't do that.

What do you think of me?

There's no place in my heart

for society girls like you!

Don't ever try to come here again!

Even my foot won't come to you!

Have you ever seen your face?

l got talked into a bet.

Otherwise a man like you

only deserves pity not love!

You snubbed a pretty girl like me!

That is why God has rendered

one of your legs useless!

lf l had my way,

l'd break the other leg too!

You're a beggar living off others

in addition to being a cripple!

I've bet you to win his heart,

not to break it!

You've insulted my friend! l'll...

What are you doing? Are you mad?

- Take her out of my sight!

- Let's go before something happens.

Forgive me. Menaka has

been punished for her deeds.

lt's not your fault.

lt's that bitter truth of my life...

...that l'm used to living with.

Time will tell whether

l'm an ember or a dew drop.

At the moment l'm a tear

glistening on the lashes of time.

Exquisite, l swear by poetry.

At this tender age,

such thoughts, such depths.

This upliftment. l swear...

Every word of your poems...

... stings the heart like a dagger.

But l don't understand in spite of

being the loved poet of thousands..

Why are you a stranger to them?

Why don't you let people know that...

The one rising like the tide in

their hearts is none other than you!

No, l can't do this.

Let it remain a secret.

- But why? - l'd like my feelings

to reach every corner of the world.

But l'm scared to

come before the world.

lf mother, Dad or Akash

feel my pain in my songs...

They will be very hurt.

They might feel there was

something lacking in my upbringing.

l can give up my life for them.

But l can't hurt them.

l live for them not myself.

Great! Not only are you a good

poet but also a good human being.

You embarrass me.

Let's get down to business.
