look a lot older than her?

Err yeah.

Because Priya is only

20 years younger to him!

What do you expect?

But don't they look so good together?

No I need to give

you something brighter.

Why?

It's a marriage not a funeral!

But I like black!

More books

for Book a Coffee!

Hi, I'm Devika

- Hi! -Abhay.

Hi, I'm Amaya

Yeah we know, the free spirit"?

Oh!

So, you've met my mother before?

- Here. - Thanks.

So tell me, how did you decide to return

from America after ten years?

Devika wanted to open a clinic here,

and after all, there's

nothing like being home, is there?

It's just a matter of

getting used to living here again.

Why? Aren't you enjoying living here?

No, it's not that.

Our friends had

warned us before we re-located

about the system here..

The famous Indian system

Look, I've made my peace with it,

If by greasing a few palms,

it makes life easier all around,

then do it. Everybody does it..

So basically, you've

taken the easy way out?

C'mon Amaya, he's got a point!

What point Ma?

Everyone makes this

point, it's very convenient.

Which is why nothing changes here.

Amaya, it's not like

I'm supporting corruption.

Well!

Your logic is exactly like

you're supporting corruption!

Abhay, who have you tangled with?

You know Amaya and my husband..

What's this?

The party's already started

and I wasn't even informed!

Hi, Jayant Sinha.

Abhay..my wife Devika.

Happy Birthday to you,

we have a cake here for you.

Raghav, even you knew?

Happy Birthday aunty Leela.

Happy birthday to you.

Happy birthday!

Thank you!

Whenever you

manage to stand up straight,

I'd like to have a word with you.

Are you only planning to party,

or are there any ideas for the book too?

No actually, I've been unwell.

I've got Writer's block!

When people move as violently as you do,

things are bound to

go wrong all the time!

Ever since we spoke the other day,

I've come up with a fantastic idea.

What?

To really get to know someone well,

you must dig down and

peer into their memories.

So, why don't you

write a book about memories?

Something like..

We'll write it

Memories of the Busy Bazaar

ls your husband a writer too?

Hello?

Sorry, I think I've

dialed the wrong number.

Cafe's shut today?

What's happened?

Because we're going to lunch out.

Are we going to eat Biryani?

That I can do even at home!

You are going to make Biryani?

Then we're definitely

going to lunch out today.

C'mon Ma, I'm not that bad!

Quite bad..

Quite bad. Nonsense.

Dad used to always measure out spices

using his fingers.

You remember that?

And I also remember

that he made

better Biryani than you too!

Rubbish.

Dad was such a great guy.
