But soon, I hope..
So Sidharth,

W hat would you like to know?
If there was one place in Bombay you..
.. could show me tonight,
what would that be?
The sea has always been really
special for Bombay, hasn't it?
I guess I can see why..
.. In a city where anything
and e verything can change,..
.. the sea is a constant.
It'll always be here. It's beautiful.
A ctually A isha, you should see
the sea when it rains.
The Bombay monsoons are to die forl
People might com plain
about the traffic and the flooding..
but, I just lo ve the monsoon.
W hen it rains,
the sea looks amazingl
I can stare at it for hours..
it's really awesome.
W ow.. I'm going to remember that..
gan I ask you something, A isha?
How can you still ha ve more questions?
A sk..
You're all alone here, aren't you scared?
A re you kidding Sidharth? I'm terrifiedl
I've never li ved alone before.
But you know what.. I'll get o ver it.
goming to Bombay was a dream.
A nd now that it's actually coming true.
I can't let fear stand in my way.
There's so m uch to do that
I won't ha ve time to be afraidl
W ell.. I think you're
really tough, A isha.. really.
I can't e ven imagine doing
what you're doing.
So, I guess, cheers to your dreaml
gheers.

I mean isn't that ridiculous?

He's also still thinking..
Hi. - Hey, thanks A isha.. you keep

By the way, you were right.
The flat's looking really nice.
So A isha..
it's the middle of the night..
you and me.. alone in your apartment..
what's going on?
Sid.. I feel silly saying this..
.. but I just didn't want
to be alone tonight.
You see, tomorrow,

But if you think about it..

W e're better off as friends, anyway.
Besides, I didn't really think I could..
fall in lo ve with someone
like you.. That's why..
W hy not?
I mean, I'm kinda perfect.
No seriously A isha..
what's wrong with me?
There's nothing wrong with you..

Okl I think.. you're still a kid.
A bit immature.. childish.
You're just not what I'm looking for.
Ok, this is going to be funl
W hat are you looking for, A isha?
I guess someone who is..
independent, for starters..
Someone with a career,
a goal in life.
Somebody I can relate to.
In short, a MA N.. not a boyl
Basically, the exact opposite of mel
Basically.. You're the
wrong profile for me, Sid.
A ctually, you're right.
I'm too young for you.
You should go out with
someone your own age.
I knew you were going to feel badl
By the way,
how old do you think I am?
Thirty.
Seriously? I
- Yeah..
I'm 27.
A nd if you bug me any more,
I'm throwing you off this terrace..
Relaxl I was just kiddingl
gome now, make a birthday wish.
W hat birthday wish..
I just hope I get this job..
You're next.
Yidhi Nayak?
A isha Bannerjee.
A isha Bannerjee.. Right.
You've already had an inter view here?
Then why wait 2 weeks
for the second one?
Uhh, you were busy,
Sir.. That's why..
Oh yes of course..
I was busy.
But, you know.. W ell, you should
know that I'm a very busy man.
My last assistant, Edna..
She was brilliant.
A bsol utely brilliant.
A nd then she had to go
and get brilliantly pregnantl
My bad luck, I suppose.
A nd your good luckl
So, A isha Bannerjee, your
application letter seems interesting..
But your resume is pretty weak.
Two months at the
galcutta State Library? That's it?
Yeah but I was also the editor
for my college newspaper for 2 yearsl
I'm talking about actual ex perience.
Serious work.. like we do here.
I am a workaholic. I'm extremely
hard to work for, Ms. Bannerjee.
Think you could keep up?
A bsol utely..
I won't disappoint you, Sir.
I've come here all the way
from galcutta only to become a writer..
I will learn much from you.
W riter? W hy did you apply for this job
if you wanted to become a writer?
A n assistant's work is very clerical.
gleaning up my desk
doesn't require any creati vity.
Besides, this is a magazine
about Bombay..
.. and you're not e ven from here..
But, you weren't from Bombay
either when you joined this magazine.
A nd now you're
the ghief Editor here.
I know e verything about you.
I applied for this job
after a lot of deliberation.
In fact, I've pictured myself gi ving you..
.. this inter view
a thousand times already.
I just didn't imagine
that I'd be this ner vous..
.. and you'd be this good looking..
Belie ve me.. I'll clean your
desk very creati vely.
God knows, it needs
a good cleaning. So.

I said apologize, Sidharth.
Please don't interfere in this, Dad.
Don't interfere?
A nd continue to ignore what an ungrateful..
.. spoilt brat you've becomel
How dare you speak
to your mother like thatl
Her life has revol ved
around you e very single day of..
.. the last twenty years.
She couldn't go to school,
so she wanted you to do well.
So you could get e verything
she couldn't ha ve..
W owl A nother lecture..
Sidl Don't you dare walk outl
You are going to stand there
and listen to me tonight.
W hen I was your age
my father had died,
I was married, and working day and night,
trying to make enough money
so that you can ha ve
e verything you ha ve today.
This lifestyle.. this arrogance..
So what do you want from me?
Do you want me to be grateful?
You're damn right.
The least you can do is be gratefull
Thank you so m uch, Pa.
There, I said it.
Now can I go?
I am not done yetl
You can't just walk away from e verythingl
This is exactly why you failed.
W hy you didn't last at the office
for more than a weekl
You ran away without
informing anyone.
Oh God.. Not again..
your office.. your com pany..
gan't you see? I don't care
about your stupid officel
Then what do you care about Sidharth?
W hat? You don't care about yourself..
.. about your family, about your future..
You're wasting your life Sidharth.
gan't you see that today
you've failed your exams..
Tomorrow you're going to fail at life?
No I can't see thatl
A nd I don't want to see thatl
I don't gi ve a damn
about what you thinkl
You'll start caring
when I stop gi ving you money.
Do it thenl I don't want
your bloody money anywayl
Ok, Sidharth.
Let me clarify one thing.
This is M Y house,

Three years ago,
I came to Bombay to join our college.
I had the right grades,
but I was late with my application.
I didn't get in that year. You know why?
Because you took my seat, Sidharth.
Your father called a few people,
and you got the last seat in the batch.
I am smarter, I work harder,
and I'm more deser ving than you.
But life has always been easier for you,
hasn't it?
Bye, Sid.
But Sid,

He cancelled my credit card, Lax mi.
There's no way I'm going back now.
But he's just angry, Sid.

But today..

A nd that we ha ve a family business
to take care of..
but I feel like you'll understand.
Because photography is something
I got from you.
I'd forgotten that photography
was your passion too.
You used to take so many pictures..
why did you stop?
You grew up, son.
You didn't ha ve time
for my photographs anymore.
A nd photography had meant
nothing more to me..
.. than taking pictures of you.
My first paycheq ue, Pa. For you.
Promise me.. that from now on you..
.. will put your heart into e verything you do.
I'm sorry, Pa.

'New Girl in the gity' - by A isha Bannerjee.
Like many others before me,
I came to Mumbai with many dreams.
The biggest one was to become a writer.
W ith this column, Mumbai has made
that one dream come true.
But, e ven after a lot of struggle,
I couldn't do it justice.
E verything I wrote seemed lacking.
W hat could I say about this city
that hadn't been said before?
So I tore up my appro ved article
and began writing again.
In just two months..
I've begun to feel a strange lo ve for Mumbai,
as if its my own..
W hat lay at the core of this lo ve?
My exciting new job?
My little flat? Or my independence?
W hat has this city gi ven me
that makes me lo ve her so?
A ctually the answer had been
in front of me all along..
I just didn't see it.
I met someone the first night
that I was in Bombay.
A boy, a friend, a room mate,
a com panion -just someone.
He didn't really ha ve
any ambitions or goals..
.. but he sure knew how to enjoy his life.
W hen I look back..
I wonder if the joy
of making a new home..
.. would ha ve been the same
without his help..
I look back upon a lonely night made
less lonely by a shared cup of tea.
W hen I had first come here,
I had my goals straight.
But now I know, that the joy of achie ving
these goals is meaningful
only when shared with someone else.
Only now do I see that my strange lo ve.
for this city is actually one with my lo ve
for this personl
He's the one who taught me
the essence of lo ve.
Mumbai is as tough as it is beautiful.
Sometimes, while running after our goals
we lose sight of the things
that really matter.
So close your eyes for a second,
Look for your special someone,
and see the city through their eyes.
You'll see that Mumbai is e ven more beautiful
than you e ver imagined.
W ho knows, e ven you might get
a com panion like me.
