Here, pack this
Yeah
Thank you
Huh?
He is not here yet
Who?
Your Okra boyfriend, who else?
No. I was just-
You turned out to be quite cunning. You got his number-
-Yes, but I got it for Saloni
Yes, you got his number for her
got your phone recharged by her
and now you're the one having fun with the Okra guy
That’s quite nice, huh
Pushpa?
Yeah
Pass that knife
Which knife?
The same one
With which you backstabbed me
And lived happily ever after
Guys, please
Don't talk like daily soap actors
I spoke to him because
We need job opportunities right?
After college?
In fact you guys should speak to him as well
I think it's a great idea
Right… Right
So, you and Pushpavalli are a thing or what now?
You are Saloni, right?
Yeah
And you’re the one who wanted my number?
No, I didn't want your…
Yeah, sure. Anyway, Lee
Do you want to go rag that organic farming guy?
He says he has got new stickers
Ya ya, come
Oh, by the way
Maybe we are a thing
That should shut them up
- Lee? - Uh… Yeah
Eh, Paashupalli!
Why are you making bread?
Isn’t bread for Monday?
Vasu, I thought I will change it a little
Oh change
Come here
What is this?
It is not some ‘Today's Special’ board of some fast food restaurant
It is Vasu’s time table
See this
Is it rubbing?
No
It is not rubbing
why because
it is permanent marker!
No change
Vasu, I can't touch the gas stove
Why?
Be loud!
Period? Why are you so scared to say that?
No I'm not scared Vasu. It's just that
I can't touch the gas stove when I have my period
My mother never let me touch the gas stove
It's against our culture
Oh God
I want to break your head with this coconut
What kind of backward thinking is this?
Rubbish!
Give the garbage bag
Give it fast
Vasu
Give it fast
Vasu please don't throw what I made
Ehhh
It’s not for you
You’ve got period, right?
Means other girls are also getting
Same cycle
Now poor Vasu has to go to their rooms
to collect their dirty pads
Otherwise these girls
will throw it out wherever they please
And then some dog is going to come
and open these pads like a Christmas gift or something
And the whole street will be filled with blood
Then the neighbours will say
‘Vasu!
Why did you have to start an all girls’ PG?’
Come on, ladies. Give your used pads
Outside my room in a packet
You 2?
We use menstrual cups
Ok give that
No we can reuse them
Good Lord! Something and all…
What about you?
I have PCOD
Okay. Give that
No, I don't get my period
Is she pregnant?
No. She is pregnant
What does she have?
No Vasu, it’s a condition called PCOD
I don’t get my periods regularly
Lucky girl
Do one thing
Spread this PCOD to all the girls in the house
So this poor Vasu
does not have to do this monthly collection
I don't have other things to do is it?
Now, I'm going to your rooms to collect your dirty pads
If I find your pads lying here and there means
I’ll burn your horoscope!
What did she say?
She wants your first born
Why do I have to do this, bloody nonsense
This has become a monthly problem
Eh! Who left this here?
I feel terrible, Pankaj
Really
You know Betu boy forgot the book at the shelter
And there’s this rambunctious little terrier that we are fostering right now
And he just
Oh God…
It’s okay. It’s hardly anything
Don’t worry about it
No, I owe you an apology
And some money
I am going to pay for that
No, no alright. Don’t, don’t even
What are you going to pay for?
Cello tape? Because…
You just need a little cello tape and little willpower
You can't put a price on will power
So that’s… what you are going to…
I'll just put it back in the shelf
Kids are hardly going to notice
You're really a darling, Pankaj
Oh hey, are those little pugs on your shirt?
Yes, they… yeah
Oh my God! What a great shirt.
I love dogs, you know that
I love your….
…takes one to know…
…a darling…
…real darling
I’ll just put it back though. You know
Fuck you, Pankaj
Hey, Pushpavalli
Happy Belated Birthday!
What?
Oh and listen, I am so sorry I couldn't make it yesterday
For?
The show
How do you know about the show?
Nikhil
Pankaj Uncle, Pankaj Uncle
What?
There's something on the toilet
What?
Okay, it's nothing
Just go take it and throw it in the dustbin
But it is not mine
Yeah I know it not yours. It belongs to some girl
You've to learn how to handle these things when you grow up
Just go pick it up and throw it.
Che! It's yucky
No there's nothing yucky about these things
You know what a band aid is?
Yeah, it’s just a band aid
for a girl, ok?
Even your mom uses it
But my mom doesn't have a boo-boo
She doesn't have a boo-boo right now
Or maybe she does. I don't know
She gets a boo-boo once a month
How?
It’s an inside boo-boo, alright?
Okay, you know what a uterus is?
No
You were once inside
what is known as a uterus, alright?
And the lining-
-Stop. Just listen for a second. Alright
the lining for which
Just go throw it
Okay? Don't freakin’… just go throw it
and don't come out until you throw it in the dustbin
Oh. How do you and Nikhil know each other?
Oh we've known each other for a long time…
we… we’ve
we’ve known each other a long time
In fact, when Betu boy’s leg broke
Before I call Manish… my ex-husband,
I call Nikhil
Okay, that's sweet. That's really sweet
Pushpavalli, I just wanted to say thank you so much
You know, God knows how stressed Nikhil has been
What with running between Betu boy's leg and taking care of his mother
What happened to his mother?
Oh, she’s not been well
But I spoke to her yesterday
She’s much better now
I mean he has been so stressed. I’m so glad that
you guys went for this comedy show, you know
That’s… that’s-
You went for some kind of a stand up comedy show?
Oh no. Not me. Pushpavalli and a common friend
You went to see a stand up comedy show huh?
To celebrate her birthday!
When was this, last year sometime?
No Silly! It was yesterday
I thought your birthday was in August
Pankaj! Come on, you're my school friend. You should know when my Birthday is
Yeah. Shame on you Pankaj
Oh Pushpavalli,
I heard that stalker of yours landed up
What? He was there yesterday as well?
What the… why didn't you fucking tell me?
And he thought you guys are engaged?
Isn’t this crazy!
You know Swati. The same guy was there outside the restaurant
where we bumped into each other
Right? Remember that?
Oh my God! What happened to Arhaan's leg? Arhaan
Silly boy, can you imagine
he tried to kick a tree again
Arhaan, again?
I'm a buffalo
Oh, but Betu boy buffalo's don't kick trees
This uncle made me touch a dirty band-aid!
Hey, calm down Lollipop
It was just a sanitary pad. Alright? Relax
A used one?
Yeah it was sitting there right on top of the flush tank
and he found it
I was just trying to get him to get rid of it
But that is really unhygienic, Pankaj
Yeah well…
Swati, I was just trying to teach him something…
At least he is learning about
you know the female… body
He thinks it's a band aid, Pankaj!
Yeah… well…
Listen, go inside and play
Go. Go. Go
Yeah, Lee. Tell me
Hey! Hi!
Swati just mentioned that
your mom is not keeping well
Is everything okay?
Yeah, some sort of a back issue. But she should be fine
Okay, because if you want me to come over and help you out with anything,
I can do that. Just give me your
That's really sweet, Lee. But I am fine. Thanks for offering
Nikhil, you don't have to be formal with me
It's not a big deal
I am anyway getting done from work early
I'll just come over and help aunty, help you out
No, Lee. I am serious. I have got things-
Listen. it's not a big deal
I can come over to your house now
Lee. Lee. I am serious
I have got things under control, you don't have to come. Okay?
Okay, but I just…
Lee, listen. I really have to go. I am going to talk to you later. Alright?
Okay, yeah
If it were upto me all the
princesses in all the fairy tales
They’d be on their period all the time
Okay
First of all, that's really unhealthy for the princesses
Second of all, you can't force him to handle used pads, Pankaj
He's 6, for God's sake
Well I didn’t know he was 6
He looked… 8 at least
That's still too young!
Well, he… he can't colour in the colouring…
It’s… Colouring is for Wednesdays
He can't colour in the colouring books
Oh my God, I worry for you, Pankaj. Really!
Betu boy, remember to eat your snacks
Don't kick a tree. You're not a buffalo
Okay?
-Bye, baby. See you -Swati
Yes. Where did you go? I was looking for you
Swati, I was wondering
May I have Nikhil's mom's number please?
Because she was really nice to me when she met me first
So I thought I could just check on her?
Oh Pushpavalli…
I don’t know…
I am overstepping, right?
I thought… I thought I am overstepping
But then the thing is that… she was really nice to me when she met me
and I… the least I could do is to reciprocate
But you know what? You're right
To call her is-
You know… that is really sweet
It definitely is. I am going to give you her number
Yeah. Okay
Just text her first
Okay
You see she's just a really private person
-Okay -Really
She's not good with outsiders
And then she gets really hassled
And then I have to calm her down
Okay, yeah. Yeah
Anyway, also she has a really packed schedule
Okay. Yeah
Prayers at 6PM. Post that will be dinner. All family time
It’s…
Thank you. Thank you so much Swati!
No problem, Kiddo
Bye, see you
Get the car ready

House number will be given no?
Madam, actually its printed madam but
raindrops have fallen on the first number, madam
So the second number is visible

Okay, also listen. The kids have left
And I don't think any members are going to come
It’s the end of the day
So, can I leave?
I am in a bit of hurry
Why didn't you tell me about the stalker thing last night?
It's not a big deal. Really. I am telling you
No no see this is the kind of attitude that's pissing me off alright?
You can't act like this is Bhopal
This is Bangalore. Bad shit happens here
And I don't understand why you haven't reported him yet?
Do you realize if something happens to you
they are going to hold me responsible because I am the only link
between Bhopal and here
That's all you want right?
You don't want your name to be dragged
Right? I will make sure that doesn't happen. Okay?
That’s not the point
Just don’t go looking for trouble alright?
Don't do anything stupid
Coming, Coming…
Hi Aunty!
Aunty your doorbell is amazing
Please, tell me where you got it from? My mom will-
Who are you?
Oh, I am sorry, aunty. I am Pushpavalli…

Guruji?
Nikhil's friend?
Oh, Nikhil
Yeah
He's not at home
Oh. Nikhil is not at home now
Actually aunty I just spoke to him
He's on his way. So, he will be home soon
Okay
So aunty, I’ll wait inside?
Until he comes?
Come in
Dukie… Dukie
Go inside
Sit down. Sit down
Dukie, go inside
Aunty, how is your back now aunty?
Nikhil was really worried about it
I am fine
Aunty, are you doing hot and cold treatment?
Because since it's a muscle pain hot and cold both works,
because it generally helps the in-
I am doing it
Hi uncle. I'm Pushpavalli
Nikhil didn't tell me this girl is coming home
Did the courier come?
No
I'm going to the kitchen. You want water?
Yeah aunty I'll come. I-
Sit down. I'll get it
Actually, uncle. I also love watching TV
I live in a PG here so the TV access is not there
So, I can't watch TV here
Uncle, which is your favourite channel?
I mean, I like…
Actually, I like all channels, uncle
I mean usually like
Doordarshan
or umm sports
Sports is my favourite, uncle. Just
any cricket match and not only India
I watch all cricket matches
Any-

Those also I watch
All night those matches
Actually aunty, there was little dust
But it is fine now. I've removed it
Thank you
Please take her with you, she is eating my head
Come. Come with me to the kitchen
I am preparing dinner. Help me. Come
I’ll just go to the washroom, aunty?
You can wash your hands in the kitchen
Come
Aunty, what can I do?
Cut this and give
Aunty, can I get some oil?
Why?
Oh aunty, when you are cutting yam, you should apply oil on your hands
otherwise it gets itchy
-Here -Thank you
Umm…
Aunty can I get some salt, spices and gram flour?
Why?
If I mix it together
It will be really nice and crispy.
Nikhil will love it
Just cut and give
The yam is really good
Sit properly and eat
Aunty. I need to use the washroom
It's inside the bedroom
Thank you, aunty
The Yam is actually very good!
Will you shut up and eat quietly? The yam is very good it seems
- Hi Amma
Nikhil! Your friend has come
Who, mom?
The same Guruji girl!
What?
She came here. She's sitting in the house
She's cutting vegetables in my kitchen
She's walking around
Now she is in the bathroom for so long
I told you stay away from her
These girls without fathers…
They are only after money!
Amma, just relax. Let me check it out
Just for money
Amma, relax
Pushpava-
Nikhil, hi. You're late huh?
Pushpavalli, what are you doing here?
Oh I just came to help your mother out
Yeah, but I told you that I've everything under control
Why are you here?
No, but I thought maybe something you might need-
And how do you even know where I live?
You told me where you live
No I didn't
-Yes you did -No, I didn’t
Remember, in Bhopal, you told me you lived close to that school
Look Pushpavalli…
This is not okay, alright?
You can't be here in my house trying to help my mom out
All of this is creeping me out
Ya, but then I just thought that you know…
Pushpavalli, you're not getting it
This is all starting to make me feel very uncomfortable
I need some space from you
Nikhil, I just-
Pushpavalli, I am going to ask you to leave my house
Now
You know where the door is
