Scenes:
Raj: I love you Simran..
(laughs out
loud)
Just look at
your face! Oh come on! You’ve known me all these days and still not understood
me? Remember once I told you I have never been serious in my entire life!
Simran: This
is just too much!
Raj: Oh this
love etc is not my thing. You know, till now I have not figured out how a man
can spend his entire life with a single girl! In this world there are many,
many pretty girls. Some have beautiful eyes, some have pretty lips, others have
good hair.

Raj: Ok Simran, leave all that. Imagine that you met someone in this trip, and you fell in love with him.. anyone.. ok, me. You have fallen in love with me and I have also started loving you. Then what will you do? Will you go back and marry that stranger or will you have the guts to love me? What will you do?
(The
bus horn blows)
Simran:
I don’t want to miss the bus again.
Raj:
But I want you to miss the bus again and again.
Simran:
What?
(she
leaves)
Raj:
(says to himself) Raj, if she loves you, she will turn and look at you once.
Turn.. Turn..
(she
turns)
(Both
gives a meaningful smile to each other)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pops: What
is the name of the girl?
Raj: Simran.
Uh.. Which girl Pops?
Pops: The
one whose face you are searching in the moon?
Raj:
(laughs) Come on Pops, you know me very well. I am not the one who will go crazy
behind one girl.
Pops: Ah,
yes, I forgot. Some have beautiful lips, some have pretty eyes etc etc.
Raj:
Exactly.
Pops:
Exactly. Uh.. Where does she live?
Raj: Who
Pops?
Pops: She,
Simran?
Raj:
(laughs) I don’t know.
Pops: How is
she?
Raj: Very
sweet.
Pops: Hmm..
Then what is the problem?
Raj:
The problem is, Pops.. that she is already engaged to marry.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Simran: We
have to elope, Raj. We have to!
Raj: I have
not come here to steal you or to elope with you. I have come here to make you
my bride. And I will take you away only when your father himself gives your
hand in marriage to me.
--
Raj: Do you
love me?
Simran: More
than anyone.
Raj: Do you
trust me?
Simran: More
than myself.
--
Raj:
Always keep this in mind. I have come here only for you. And until you become
mine forever I am not going anywhere.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Simran’s
mother: You don’t know my husband!
Raj:
(smiles) Your husband doesn’t know me!
If
I’d wanted to elope with Simran I could have done that long back. But I don’t
want to snatch her from you, but win her. I want to take her with me after
being able to meet my eyes with yours. Now that I have come I will go away only
when I have my bride with me. I will go
only when her father gives her hand in marriage to me.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Raj: Tell me
one thing father. Do you find the pigeons of London any different from those
here?
Simran’s father: (smiles) Yes, I do.
Simran’s father: (smiles) Yes, I do.
Here the
pigeons know me, recognizes me. They belong to my soil. There the pigeons are
also strangers.
Raj:
But it could also be that the difference is only in your perception. Maybe one
of the pigeons from here could have flown there, one that belongs to your soil,
knows you, and recognizes you and maybe you are the one who’s failed to
recognize it?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Simran’s poem:
It’s happened to me for the first time
In seventeen, eighteen years
Someone who’s unseen and unknown
Started coming in my thoughts.
In the windows of my eyes,
He moves like a shadow.
On the doors of my heart,
He knocks and goes away.
Deep, black eyes
Asks me
On the lines of my palms
He’s become a face.
His breath
Touches my cheeks like silk.
The smell of his hands
Is still in my hair.
Yes, (It’s..)
Songs:
When I met
you I realized
That love is
crazy.
Now where
will I go from here?
I would
rather die in your arms.
My eyes are
full of your dreams.
My heart
full of your memories.
Now what is
there left for me that is mine?
Everything
is yours.
My life is yours, my
breath is yours.
In my eyes
came your desire.
All my
sorrows now started smiling. (When..)
I don't find
interest in anything now a days.
What will I
say? What will I do?
Just keep
sitting in front of me.
I will keep
looking at you.
You called
me and here I came.
What's
a bigger promise than love? (When..)
----------------------------------------------------------------
The one who
comes in my thoughts
The one who
comes, teases me and goes away
Someone tell
him to please come in front of me.
How is he?
Who is he? Who knows where he is!
For whom my
lips always says ‘yes’.
Is he mine
or a stranger?
Is he real
or just a tale?
He stalks me
from a far off place
Someone tell
him to please come in front of me. (The..)
The one who’s
spread everywhere like a magic.
What can I
do, my heart’s started dancing.
He says he
is crazy about me.
Then why
does he stay so silent?
He’s made a mistake.
He’s brought
me flowers.
Someone
tell him to bring me the moon! (The..)
----------------------------------------------------------------
I don’t know
what’s happened to my heart.
It was here
a moment ago, but now lost.
You are in love, my sweetheart.
Even if you decline it a thousand times.
This is love
indeed.
You didn’t turn to look at me even once.
I was
waiting there for you for some time.
My heart wanted to stop you,
My heart wanted to stop you,
But by the time you had gone
very far.
What’s
happened? I don’t know
Why is my
heart so crazy? (You..)
Hey time, stop.
Please run
backwards.
Where I have
left myself behind
It’s still
staying there looking back at you.
Where am I?
Where are you?
What magic
is this? (You..)
----------------------------------------------------------------
Keep the
henna applied on your hands.
Keep the
chariot decorated.
To take you
away, oh beauty
Your groom is
coming. (Keep..)
Keep your
head band decorated.
Keep your
face covered.
The secret
in your heart,
Keep it hidden. (Keep..)
The flying
hair of yours
What signs
does it show?
Holding their
hearts
Are standing
all the unmarried lovers
All the
pretty girls are silent
Staying in
the house out of shyness.
All the crazy people from town
Have come to
the village. (Keep..)
Keep your
eyes bowed
Hold your
pallu.
To take you
away, oh beauty
Your groom
is coming.
I am a young
man
You a pretty
lady
If the
hearts starts becoming restless
How can it
be my fault?
You should
have controlled your heart
This body is
magical
If the magic
works out
How can it
be my fault? (Keep..)
Keep
expecting.
Keep the
doors open.
To take you
away, oh beauty
Your groom
is coming
Now don’t
say anything
Now don’t do
anything
The secret
in your heart
Keep it
hidden. (Keep..)
