Synopsis: Author Shaukat Vashisht lives a wealthy life-style in India with his wife, Antara, who is a College Teacher. Shaukat achieves fame when he is nominated for the Booker prize, and goes on to win it. His publishers, hoping that they have unleashed a goldmine, are disappointed with his subsequent works, and soon Shaukat is depressed to such an extent that he almost gives up writing. Then he decides to write a story on a woman named Tamanna, and figures that he will base this story on none other than Antara herself. For this purpose he starts to make note of her every movement, and it is then that he finds out that she has an admirer in fellow-teacher, Yash, a dashing young man - with a bright future ahead of him. Shaukat also finds out that Antara has never mentioned Yash to him, nor has she informed Yash that she is married. Watch how his obsession with Tamanna blurs Shaukat's reality with fiction and hallucination - with hopes still high that he will make a come-back and be nominated aga

It takes so much of energy!

Know what? Let's share.

You, your lunch-box. I, my jokes

There used to be a sardar...

won't you laugh?

Why?

- It makes everyone laugh. No...?

One second please.

Mr Bhargav, want to listen to a joke?

- Sure, go ahead!

There was this sardar...

What do you mean he was?

Sorry.

Okay, maybe not a sardar.

How about ourselves?

"But we're lecturers,

we mustn't be seen laughing..."

I hope you don't suffer

from those notions?

What are you up to?

- Excuse me?

Now tell me, how did the two of you

meet for the first time?

You must've met before your marriage,

isn't it? So how did you meet?

Shouldn't we have met?

- No, that's not...

I know, you don't like me.

You want me to go back

I know, you've tolerated my husband

for years...

and you're now wondering who the

hell is this new chatterbox

Whatever happens,

we've taken the vows

We'll live together

through thick and thin

Why isn't your name Basanti?

- What's wrong with Rajni?

And Rajni's not leaving.

- All I asked is how you met...

how you fell in love?

- Love...?

Father said there was a suitor

for me, who lived in the city

I said I wouldn't marry a drunkard. But

father was told, he doesn't even smoke

I had a friend who moved to

Bombay after her marriage

14 people slept together in

a room on the first night

My father said my suitor had a room

of his own. So we got married

Will you have some tea...?

What is it?

Senior Master...?

- Why do you call me senior Master?

Because the junior must

soon be on his way

You talk too much!

- But I only offered him tea

Excuse me Yash.

I mean... sir.

Sir, I wish to join

your classes in photography

Hi, I'm Karishma.

I wished to show you my photographs.

Actually, I'm a student of fine arts

I'll look at all your photographs.

Okay? Bye!

Monday morning, 9 O'clock.

He is so cute.

Antara... lovely name!

Who gave you that name?

Must've been your Mom. Only

women can think of such lovely names

Did you have something to say?

- Yes, but I forget what it was

Give me a smile before you leave.

- Why?

I don't know why! Give me a smile,

like you did this morning

This is the first time I've had

such a strange request

You've met me for the first time too.

- What meaningless...

so let's laugh because there isn't

anything to laugh about! What say?

Like, there was this sardar...

sorry madam.

Thank you.

I've fallen in love!

Will macaroni and cheese do?

With tomato and parsley!

A new lecturer arrived at the

college today. His name is Yash

from his looks and behaviour, no one can

say whether he's a student or a teacher

I've never seen a lecturer

like him, shaukat

Trendy clothes, a rucksack,
