Antara
is seated by Mrs. Kapadia who is complaining that there is so little discipline
and respect among the young people these days. As she is saying this, Yash comes
up behind them and barges between them to sit next to Antara. He makes a point
to attempt a handshake with another professor at the table, revealing that he
has his left forearm in a plaster cast. His handshake is refused since he is
injured, but Yash explains that his wound healed long ago. He just became fond
of the cast and never got around to having it removed.
Yash suggests that he and Antara share - she should share her lunch, and he
will share his jokes. Doesn't seem quite equitable to me, nor Antara from the
look on her face. Yash can tell things seem a little awkward, so he begins to
tell his jokes. Eventually he gets the table chuckling, including Antara.
Back
at the house, Shaukat is trying to cut some more headlines from some magazines.
In the background we see Rajni happily (and noisily) chopping some vegetables.
Shaukat gets annoyed by the distractions, and finally decides to talk to her. He
asks her how she first met Ramakant. Rajni seems defensive at first, but
eventually tells her story. The details aren't that important, but what is
humorous is how Ramakant tries to shut her up the entire time she's talking.
After she's done, she refers to Shaukat as "Senior Master," which confuses him.
He asks why she'd call him that, and she says it is because she assumes "Junior
Master" is on the way. This makes Shaukat angry and he storms out of the
kitchen. Ramakant tells Rajni that she talks too much, but she doesn't
understand what she did wrong.
Back
at the college, Yash is being accosted by a pack of youngsters. One in
particular is gushing about how she wants to take his class, and would like to
meet with him to show off her work. Yash hastily agrees to get away from them,
leaving them all giggling and blushing. We then see why Yash was in such a
hurry. He chases Antara down a flight of steps and tries to get her started with
some small talk. She seems bored, so he asks her for a smile like the one she
gave him at lunch. She tells him there's nothing to smile about at the moment,
but then the fortuitous arrival of a somewhat dorky looking classmate sets up
another joke for Yash, and he gets the smile he was after.
Yash
looks at her a little too long, and she notices him staring at her. He thanks
her and heads off up the stairs doing an assortment of victory gestures. Antara
rolls her eyes and walks off. Yash tells himself that he's fallen in love, and
does what is to become a somewhat annoying habit. He makes a little
"click-click" noise to imitate a camera, as he takes "mental
pictures" of Antara smiling.
Back at home Antara fiddles with the CD player and tells Shaukat about Yash. She
talks about him quite a lot, how he tried to make her laugh and called her name
from across long distances to get her attention. She describes him as being
"insolent," but Shaukat suggests that he is actually smitten with her. She
dismisses that idea as preposterous, but Shaukat asks how was Yash supposed to
know that she is married? She doesn't wear a ring or a
mangalsutra, and her marital status did not come up in conversation. She
says that she will set him straight the next day, but Shaukat suggest that
instead of doing that, she should become friends with Yash.
