Oh thinking India
Rei
I have come, I have come to dance with you. I have come, I have come to dance with you.
A heart has become like a chain, it has become like a chain.
Ma'am Jamshed, that day I met you outside your restaurant.
Okay.
You thought I complained about salt.
How dare you come into her room?
No, I am telling you this phone call for her and I called her name and then I came and knocked at the door.
The door was open, I swear Ma'am, I knocked.
Don't call me that.
You know what Imran, I want him. I want his luggage, I want him and I want him out of my house tonight.
By the way, I have come to know that you don't have a partnership with any taxi company.
Okay, so you have come to know about it.
You have to tell this lie.
You have to come here and tell big lies to your family.
For their progress, for their happiness.
Everyone lies, but the lie is a lie.
How long can you hide it?
What?
Now you have found out.
Now I will find a job myself.
Can I find one?
Brother, life here is very difficult.
You have come on holidays, you have to celebrate holidays and then leave.
Why do you have to go to so many places?
I have reached here with so much difficulty.
I can't go without trying.
Fine then, try it.
I can make you understand.
Bring the luggage.
Coffee.
Thank you.
How is the restaurant going?
Fine.
Good.
And your new job?
How was the conference in Chicago?
It must have been good for those who attended.
What do you mean?
I did not go.
Why?
If a person makes a proposal for the first time and gets rejected in the next 18 years, then logically,
he has to be depressed.
Rizwan, I…
No, it's okay, you don't need to feel awkward.
I have not come here to embarrass you.
I just came here to say that whatever happened earlier was a big misunderstanding.
What do you mean?
Actually, you know that when Tanya was over,
she started fighting over marriage.
And on top of that,
literally, we got married and that's it.
I said fine, I'll get married.
So I started looking for a woman who could tolerate me and who I could tolerate.
So I only saw you.
I mean, you know that…
I mean, you tell me, have you seen me get along with a woman?
I mean, the woman I will spend my whole life with,
for that I would need some level of understanding.
So that's why I only saw you.
I know it was selfish of me.
I assumed that you are interested in me.
Look Rizwan, you are a very good man.
Oh, please, please.
Don't give me that.
Rizwan, you are a very good man and I am sure that
the woman who will marry you will be very lucky and blah, blah, blah.
But it's the truth.
Michelle, I have realized for some time that
I don't want to lose your friendship.
And because of this marriage and proposal,
I don't want to lose everything that is between us.
Think about it.
You are not lying.
I have been thinking about it for so long, that's why I am saying it.
I am sorry.
Oh, thank God.
You have no idea how disturbed I am.
So was I not enough?
I missed my conference because of this.
You fool, I don't know if Rizwan will talk to me again or not.
Don't worry, he won't leave you so easily.
Okay, tell me what is there to eat?
Nothing.
Fatty.
If you keep eating like this, then what am I?
No man will propose to you.
I don't want any proposal.
I will go and get the bag.
Let's go out for dinner.
Okay.
Hello.
Yes, Javed.
Fatty sahab, is everything okay?
What time is it at this time?
Oh, it's five o'clock.
Are you okay?
Yes, I am fine.
Did Jamshed come to you guys?
Jamshed?
No, Jamshed is on your side.
Yes, he left last night.
He said he wanted to meet a friend so I thought he might have come to meet you guys later.
Really?
He didn't come here.
Really?
Then I think he must have stayed the night at that friend's place.
Okay, fine.
Fine.
Let's meet in the morning then.
Okay.
He didn't even go there.
What is this?
Tell me.
Will you do this again?
Hey!
What?
What is this?
What is happening?
Mom, she is hurting me.
Aunt, what are you doing?
Mom!
Hey, leave her arm.
Leave it.
What happened?
Ask her which boy she was talking to on the computer.
A boy?
Mom, I was asking about the math class on Skype and grandma came and took away my laptop.
Aunt, he is her class fellow.
I already knew that she would only talk to boys on this bad computer.
Are you out of your mind?
Hey, talk politely.
What should I talk politely?
Whenever I see you, you are always after her.
I am always after her.
And you can talk to boys or make her dance.
If you are angry with the dance class, then throw it at me.
Not at her.
I was the one who brought you here from Pakistan.
Yes, so why did you bring me here?
Thank God you brought me here.
Otherwise, you would have been thrashing me today.
Enough.
Everyone knows why you are talking so much.
I will pay for everything you have spent on us.
Whether you have paid or not, but for God's sake, let us live a normal life.
I am the one who is crazy.
You are teaching this girl how to respect elders.
Respect is not done.
It is done.
Do you understand?
Salma, if you had a real daughter, you would have taught her the same thing.
Enough.
She is more important than my real daughter.
Let's go.
You are up early.
You know, it might be a good idea to get some sleep because you are not so young anymore and you might fall sick.
If you don't sleep, then you have to fulfill this shortcoming in life.
What?
Nothing.
Listen, if you want me to reply, it is probably a good idea if you speak to me in English.
I know your reply, so no reply.
Oh, alright.
You were still pissed about last night.
No, no.
I am very happy.
You ridiculed my nephew.
That bag is in image.
English?
Hell with your English.
Listen, your nephew went into my daughter's room and anything could have happened.
And you think I should be taking that lightly?
No.
Jamshed, not that kind.
Whatever, buddy.
You are right.
I see if I do the same thing with your family, then what do you do?
Look, all I need you to do is make sure you get the groceries before you come back.
Have your food.
Excuse me?
My only sister.
No, my only dead sister.
Only child.
You threw him out last night.
I don't know where he sleeps.
That is more important than your grocery.
Next time call me.
Then tell him that my uncle's son's proposal has come down for me.
And I cannot sit on the roof for the rest of my life.
What a beautiful day.
What?
You are sitting in the car, look outside the window.
No, no, I am looking.
This happens every day.
Buddy, I am not talking about the weather inside you, I am talking about the weather in New York.
Which keeps changing and it is very nice today.
Hmm.
Anyways, I have news for you.
Hmm.
Hello, are you listening?
Yes, yes, I am listening.
Tell me.
My final approval has come.
It is time to move to Chicago.
Oh.
Chicago.
Oh.
Yes, they have confirmed the flight and sent it, the cruel society.
Okay.
Michelle, either you are really happy after listening to me leaving suddenly or you have not understood at all.
No, no, its nothing like that.
So what is the matter?
Is there a rush at the restaurant?
No, no, not at all.
Tell me.
Then why such a cold reaction?
Anyways, I will go out in the evening.
Prepare your tears and all.
Okay.
See you later.
Bye bye.
Adnan.
Yes, Michelle.
Did Jose come today?
No, Jose did not come today.
Since when is he sitting?
He has been sitting for a long time.
He is sitting before I came in the morning.
Okay.
Hi.
Hello.
You have been sitting here for a long time.
I am just sitting here.
Are you waiting for someone?
No.
Did you give the order?
No, I did not give the order.
By the way, this is the place of the customers of the restaurant
who have given the order or are about to give it.
I am about to give the order.
Okay.
I was telling you like that.
I don't believe this.
He said this?
He did not say it for the first time.
But what is the need to say it in front of Aiman?
I know.
I shouldn't have said it in front of that girl.
No matter how much I try,
no matter how much effort I make,
this step mother will never be finished.
Come on.
You are bigger than your real mother for Aiman.
And she has this feeling.
I really hope so.
By the way, where is she now?
She is in school.
After school she will go to her friend
and then her parents will drop her at home.
Okay.
So you mean that you are duty free today?
No, I am not duty free.
I have to go to Mrs. Khanna's place.
In about one and a half to two hours.
You are so greedy.
I am smart.
I mean, take some rest sometime.
I will take rest when I get medical insurance,
Aiman's college bills, all the funds will be collected
and the lease of the house.
Okay.
I get it.
Hello grandma.
Hello.
God bless you.
How are you?
I am fine.
God bless you.
You look beautiful.
Yes.
Thank God you are here.
The cable is broken.
Look at it.
I have been telling him for so many days
but he doesn't listen to me in this house.
Don't worry.
I will look at it.
Did you talk to Jamshed?
Yes, I got a call once.
He must have been talking to you.
He must have talked to me only once.
He has gone to America and been treated like an uncle.
No, no.
He must have got busy with his work.
Anyway, it is not cheap to get a call from there.
Otherwise, you know,
Jamshed doesn't like us without us.
He gets hurt in America.
He doesn't listen to us.
Jamshed doesn't like us without us.
He gets hurt in America, son.
I don't know what America is.
He has taken away all my dear ones.
Mother.
Yes.
Hello, aunty.
Hello.
You?
My grandmother called me to fix the cable.
Mother, didn't you trust me
that you called yourself?
Oh no, no.
I just…
Yes, yes.
Fine.
You get the cable fixed.
Anyway, you have to watch the TV.
You can get the cable fixed as much as you want.
You don't care about this.
Grandma,
I think the cable is missing from the roof.
Can I go upstairs and check?
Yes, sir.
Go upstairs.
The entire house is yours.
They have guests.
Oh God.
How are you?
I came to fix the cable.
The weather is very nice on the roof.
Jamshed called me as well.
Everything is going well.
He was saying that everything will be fine in a few days.
And when he wants to come, he can come.
And he can take whoever he wants to take.
He must be asking about you as well.
If he gets a call next time,
then tell him that my uncle's son's proposal has come for me downstairs.
And I cannot sit on the roof for the rest of my life.
You should have told me earlier if this was the problem.
This is also an insult to me.
What would I have told people?
That my sister threw my nephew out of the house.
Jamshed doesn't look like this type of a guy.
He is not like that.
But what can you do?
Ketchy had to listen to his own daughter.
Anyway,
does he have a loved one here?
The one he has fallen in love with?
No.
He doesn't have a loved one in America.
No, he doesn't have a loved one in America.
And he doesn't even have money.
Who is this?
Mr. Ketchy.
How would I know who it is?
She is calling you.
I have a misunderstanding.
Hello.
How are you?
I am fine.
What should I do?
Why doesn't she have such misunderstandings with us?
She is…
Yes, I am her friend, Jamshed.
And I think I will leave now.
You guys talk to each other.
Okay, bye.
It's okay.
You are intoxicating.
Did I embarrass you?
No, no.
You are not at this age.
But why did you think…
I fell down all of a sudden
and you were sitting with your friend.
No, no.
It's not about my friend.
It's about my younger brothers.
It's about my family.
Okay.
Were you going somewhere?
Yes.
It was off today.
So we were chatting.
So I said,
sir, let's go for a drink.
So I said,
let's go.
I was just waiting for the bus.
Okay.
And you?
I am coming from the client's side.
Okay.
He has given me a very nice tip today.
Really?
Yes.
So,
I don't get milk from anywhere here.
But I can give you a coffee treat.
What is the need?
Is there a problem?
No, no.
In the tip?
Or in the coffee?
I don't think of desi men.
That's good.
Let's go.
Let's have coffee.
Yes, yes.
Come.
Yes.
May I help?
No, no.
It's perfectly alright.
I can do this.
I can manage.
It's no problem.
No, no.
I can manage.
Here?
Yes, there.
Here.
Thank you.
But I didn't ask for your help.
I did it because I couldn't do it with you.
But I didn't ask you.
But you didn't ask me in the laundry that day.
I don't need help.
But I had it, so you did it.
That's why I did it too.
Is the bill correct?
Why do you need a bill to help?
Hello?
Yes, yes.
Yes, the shipment is in.
Okay.
Twentyth?
Haseena, beauty parlor.
Yes, does Salma work here?
Yes, Salma has gone out.
Who are you?
She must be at work right now.
Why?
No, it's the same.
But who are you talking to?
If you have some work, then talk to me or I'm busy.
By the way, you people make a lot of money in salons.
What's the trick?
Excuse me?
Whoever you are, tell me your work or don't waste my time.
There's no need for that.
I just wanted to go like this.
Have a nice day.
Oh, okay.
You're upset because of your nephew?
Huh?
Yes, yes.
He'll be fine.
Don't worry so much.
I know he'll be fine, but
you know,
it's the responsibility of the one who's older.
And
here,
it's the responsibility of the one who's older.
It's the responsibility of the one who's older.
And
here,
it's the responsibility of the one who's older.
I've been thinking all night that
what does he think?
He probably doesn't think anything.
He knows about your helplessness.
Besides, you've been taking care of the whole family over there.
Yes, that's the way it is.
To think that your weakness is your helplessness,
maybe that's our biggest weakness.
People like us,
their
respect and
respect,
it feels good from a distance.
From the heart.
People in Pakistan think that
we're in America,
earning dollars.
We must be having a lot of fun.
But
they don't know that
each dollar
is eating us inside.
It's eating us inside.
Hmm.
You're right.
And maybe if they see all this,
then our being here and
working so hard,
these things won't have any purpose.
Right?
Yes.
You're right. You're absolutely right.
It feels good, like I'm digging.
This mobile, this sweater,
this fridge and freezer,
through the children,
parents, siblings,
wife and children,
are paying off the debt of love.
I'm telling you.
It's been fourteen years since I've come here.
Fourteen?
No.
It's been fourteen, fifteen years since I've come here.
Trust me.
Understand?
I call my mother.
So,
she picks up the phone and says,
Hello.
When will you come?
My buddy.
When will you come?
Now?
When will you come?
What do you mean, when will you come?
When I go back,
all my dreams won't come true.
They won't break.
By the way, Mr. Bhatti,
you're a very nice person.
And I'm sure that one day,
Cathy will realize this too.
Oh, leave it.
What's there to realize?
What's there to realize is,
that it happens at the right time.
If it happens later,
then we have to make it happen.
Right?
Yes.
Hello.
Jackson?
Huh?
Yes, yes, it's fine.
It's fine.
Did you get Jamshed?
Did I get him?
I was telling you,
everything happens in the end.
Yes,
but at the end,
there's always someone who gets there.
Here,
can I go now?
Yes.
Let's go.
Oh,
in fact,
I forgot that
for your happiness,
I made a hole in the treat.
It's okay.
When you give me a treat,
I'll also make a hole in it.
And it will be settled.
No, no.
Let's go.
Bye.
Did you understand?
You're a very nice person.
I swear to God.
Here,
they've even confirmed my flight.
I don't know that the people of my office
are in such a hurry to get rid of me.
I hardly blame them.
You haven't met them either.
You never know.
Hmm.
Then you'll know that
tonight,
they've kept my farewell too.
Really?
Oh, it's sweet.
Will you come?
Me?
Don't worry.
I
am not taking you
as a date.
Hmm.
That's why I'm not going.
What?
Just kidding.
Rizwan,
you know I don't like socializing.
Get together.
Okay, okay, okay.
I know.
So,
what will you do
without me?
What will I do?
Will I do this?
I mean,
my departure
won't make any difference.
It will.
No one will bother me.
And you'll miss
this the most.
Hmm.
Mish,
on a serious note.
Please.
Hmm?
Take care of yourself.
Hmm?
And try not to
go to work all the time.
Yeah, open up,
meet people,
go out,
meet people,
go around.
You've only given me one life.
Hmm?
Doubting the future
because of the past
is not rational.
And I consider you
very rational.
Okay?
Okay, Zubaida Apa.
Who is Zubaida Apa?
She's in Pakistan.
She has
every solution
and every question.
Oh,
that means
Dr. Phil from Pakistan.
Yes.
Yeah, I get it.
Hmm.
I'll really miss
this smile.
You're not going
forever, are you?
I don't know
whether tomorrow or not.
Oh God,
that's so melodramatic.
Anyways,
I'll leave now.
I have to pack
and at night...
Flight.
Well,
you take care.
Take care.
That's it.
This is your goodbye.
I don't think so.
You were saying
that you were going to spend the night with Javed.
Yes, but then I thought
why would I disturb him so late in the night?
Why don't you say
that you didn't like him?
Did he get upset then?
No, I didn't go to the hotel.
He didn't give me the money.
Then?
I managed the matter a little.
What did you manage?
I was like a dustpan on your face.
I couldn't burst my mouth.
You could have asked for money from me.
It doesn't feel good to ask you for money all the time.
Anyways,
is everything okay at home?
Where did you sleep last night?
It's a very big job.
You're crossing the line.
One night's talk is something else.
I can't think outside every night.
I couldn't sleep the whole night.
I kept waking up in tension.
Come on, get up.
Wow.
Where?
I'm arranging for you to stay.
And now go there and stand quietly.
Don't start mumbling.
Come on.
Actually, I got a very weird call for you yesterday.
Who was it?
I didn't tell you my name,
but you were saying very weird things.
Come, come.
Ms. Michelle.
This is Jamshed.
He's my nephew from Pakistan.
He's on leave.
I need a room for him.
Bhatti, do you know that I've stopped giving rooms to the desis?
I know. I know.
But he's not an ordinary desi.
He's educated.
He's the child of my family.
But…
Look, if you get any kind of complaint,
then for God's sake,
pick up the stuff and throw it away.
There won't be any objection.
I guarantee you that.
You take five hundred for a room, right?
Six hundred for a room.
I'm ready to give you six hundred.
Two months advance.
The previous tenant who used to do your things,
he doesn't do those things.
He doesn't smoke cigarettes,
he doesn't have an affair with girls.
He's innocent.
Look at his face.
Why doesn't he speak?
Okay.
Anaya, long live.
Give the advance to Adnan.
I'll get it.
Don't worry about him.
Long live.
Here.
Are you happy now?
Come on.
Asma.
You?
Yes, I wanted to talk to you.
But I'm in a hurry.
Yes, I also told you about lunch time in the office.
You also started working?
Yes.
Not everyone goes to America.
Some people settle here too.
I came to tell you that you don't have to worry at all.
I'll talk to Jamshed.
I'm sure he'll be as worried as you are.
Nadir, I had told you before
that I don't want to talk about Jamshed.
But I want to.
What I mean to say is,
I'm telling you,
he worries a lot about you.
Even before he left, he only talked about you.
Jamshed only cares about his dreams and nobody else.
No, no, that's not true.
Nadir, you're a very good friend.
But you don't lie at all.
And I don't want to listen to lies.
Because I can clearly see the reality of my life.
And what is that reality?
The reality of a girl like me's life starts after marriage.
And then that marriage doesn't matter to anyone.
But Asma, to give up like this?
When you fight with yourself, it's better to give up.
Anyway, my bus is about to come.
Yes, yes.
No, you don't have to do that.
Okay fine, I'll see you tomorrow.
Bye.
Who was it?
Isn't it Sumbul who lives in Bronx?
Yes.
She has taken an appointment for the evening tomorrow
and she wants to have dinner and come back.
You wanted to call me here, right?
Where will she come here?
You'll have to go there too.
What about me?
No, it's not safe.
Oh?
No seriously, I'm not joking.
You'll go so far and I don't know what kind of people you'll meet on the way.
I'm not going for the first time, Aliyah.
No, but you can avoid it, right?
What's the matter?
No, it's the same.
No seriously, did something happen?
You never used to insist so much that you shouldn't go.
Actually, yesterday I got a very weird call for you.
Who was it?
I didn't tell you his name but he was talking very weird things.
He was asking how much money he makes, what he does.
Stupid stuff.
Did you ask him anything else?
No, I didn't give him that much lift.
Did you give him?
Hmm.
Mom, I'll be home later, like nine or something.
Yeah, be on time, you were late last night.
I was doing work, I told you.
You're right, Izzy, it's always about work with you.
I'm not ten years old.
Mom, when will he pick me up from soccer?
Oh my God, can you not skip it today?
No mom.
Hey, I made you something to eat, it's in the fridge.
No, I'm not hungry.
Well, I made it for you in case you want it later.
Later, not hungry also.
Patti, what is with the attitude?
What did I say?
I know why you're doing this to me.
Mom, when will you pick me up?
Mark, can you not see that I'm in the middle of a conversation?
I can't do it today, okay? Just skip it.
But mom, I really want to go.
No, I can't.
Shh.
I'll pick you, you go.
Really?
Yeah, but don't make me wait too long.
No waiting long outside me, okay?
Thanks, Patti.
Okay.
Bye.
Did you get a call from someone from the salon?
Hello Salma.
Kash?
Hello.
Hi.
Can I help you?
No, no, thank you, I'll manage.
Okay.
The room is very nice, by the way.
It's very comfortable.
Hmm.
And I wanted to thank you for giving me a room.
Everyone else was saying that you never give a room to a desi.
That's okay.
Ma'am, if you don't mind, can you give me a spare key to the front door of the restaurant?
Don't worry, I won't bring anyone.
I went out in the morning and saw that some customers were passing by in front of the restaurant and they wanted to get inside.
If there was a key then...
Thank you.
I don't need your advice.
You'll get the key.
Don't bring anyone, okay?
Okay.
Thank you.
Hello, yes, Nadir.
Hello, I can't hear you. Hello?
Hello?
Yes, Jamshed speaking.
Oh.
How are you?
Fine.
Where are you?
You look like you're having fun.
You're the one who's having fun.
Huh?
Yes, I'm with some friends.
Really?
That's great.
You made new friends as soon as I left?
Yes.
But not everyone thinks like me.
Some people are still hoping for old friends.
What kind of philosophy is this?
Yes, I wanted to tell you that I found a place to stay.
Okay, congratulations.
I was saying that you should also apply for a visa and come to America.
It'll be a lot of fun.
No, thank you.
People like us are fine here.
You wanted to go to America, right?
You enjoy yourself.
Did you talk to your grandma?
Yes, I'm fine.
And you tell me, what's going on?
You won't ask about anyone else?
Whom will I ask about?
I've already asked about grandma.
Is no one looking for you other than grandma?
Or are you not so worried about her because she's not yours?
What are you saying?
First of all, I got a call from her with so much difficulty and on top of that it's you.
Thank you, Mr. Jamshed.
It's a great favor of yours that you called me.
Otherwise, so many lives are being ruined waiting for you.
What's wrong with you?
So ask yourself, what's wrong with you?
Where is that Jamshed who we knew?
Nadir?
I can't talk right now, Mazeed.
Aunt?
Yes, what is it?
Did you get a call from someone from the salon?
Hello Salma?
Ima…
You?
What was the need for this?
I can't take this.
What are you saying?
You take this as a gift.
Do you forget the reality of America?
I didn't come here to ask for money.
I came here to ask for a job.
That too on the phone.
I used to shout that I have a store in America.
