Grandpa, aunt and ...

Chhoti is crying in the

bathroom go give her some water.

Till the time he

..Mukesh will stay with you.

Father-in-law,

l have a touring job.

Your daughter runs the house.

l will abide by

whatever you two decide.

Papaji, we never dared to

have a second child of our own.

We have neither the

space nor the means...

Nothing is hidden from you.

He is like my own son.

But, how can l take

his responsibility?

l understand...

lt was my son's age

to take responsibility.

But instead he has

left me with his share too.

Don't worry, l will take

care of any extra expenses bourne

by you from my pension fund.

But, his is a responsibility

we all must share.

l am not going to Delhi.

You are always

in need of something.

Aunt...l need some money.

To get fliers printed.

l am thinking of giving

private tuition to school kids.

Will return the money

as soon as l get the job.

No harm dreaming.

But what if you don't

get the tuitions?

Your grandfather does

not send us a fortune!

No point wasting

money on silly schemes.

Don't you know a chess board attracts

evil spirits with scores to settle.

Wait! Let me search your bag!

Why? Am l a thief?

Kid, this is Delhi!

Here everyone is a thief!

On a good day you get robbed.

On bad days you get killed

first and then robbed.

Kasparov.

Wipe that innocent

look off your face!

like you everyday.

Hey! Stop!

What have you stolen?

Must have stolen something?

A corpse's gold tooth?

A diamond ring maybe?

Come...follow me.

Pious! Need an extra

day to make one box?

He is the one Johnny bhai!

Always loitering around

with a chess board!

Come on, Kasparov...

Sit down.

Kasparov played like a bull!

Karpov was the wily one!

Come on.

Take out your chess board!

What kept you so long?

Sarika, my husband says hello.

Hello.

A snake in a woman's body!

There are no apples here.

Beware of her!

Now you show me respect

but later you will also abuse me!

You took your time coming

Your hair is thick like a girl's!

Comb it properly or get it cut!

Hmm... you're not as afraid

as you were pretending to be!

Are you in a hurry? Do you

have an appointment elsewhere?

Hello.. - Pammi... Sarika here.
