Post by bunniefuu »

'Where is everyone? Thank you,

Selvi.'

'Is Akhil awake?'

Mom, I'm up.

Stressful parents are back.

Stressful dreams

Reduce caffeine

Discuss with Max.

'Selvi,

why is this place so dirty?'

'Don't you clean up properly?'

'Akhil's room is on the left,

right?'

'Okay. I'll take a look.'

Alexa, play shower sounds.

Akhil.

Akhil, it's mom.

Oh, mom!

Wh What a shock! I mean,

surprise!

What brings you here?

Rao and I thought we'd

do a surprise stop all route.

We'll stay here till evening,

and then on our way

On your way to

Do you want me to talk to you

through the door? Come out.

Mom,

I'm in the shower. Gimme five.

Okay.

Alexa, play some heavy metal.

Where's my phone?

Where is it?

Alexa, shut up!

'There is no need to be rude.'

Where's my phone?

Alexa, where's my phone?

Good morning, Mrs Iyer.

Good morning,

beta. You're up so early today.

- Aunty, actually, my mom's visiting us.

- Okay.

She was so impressed looking

at the beauty of our colony.

She wanted to know

whose idea it was.

I mentioned your name,

obviously.

Wow!

Mrs Gayatri asked about me?

Aunty,

could you come up now to meet ma?

Yes. I'll be there in some time.

See you soon.

Good Morning, Mrs Gayatri!

I brought some

coconut 'barfi' for you.

- Okay. Good morning.

- Good.

- Greetings, Mrs Iyer.

- Greetings.

Please sit.

We're lucky this time. The

'neem' tree grew so well.

I didn't have to

add fertilisers.

Do you think we should

plant some Eucalyptus trees?

Mrs Gayatri,

you have some beautiful new plants at home.

Very nice. Even the little

succulent looks so gorgeous.

Akhil!

Hi, Mrs Iyer.

- How are you?

- Hi, mom.

I'm in a hurry. I have

to go to the office.

- Today

- Son!

- Hi.

- Have a seat.

Dad,

I'll be back in the evening.

You could go in late sometimes.

Come on. Spend some time with us.

Selvi told me that you go

to the office around 11 am.

If I didn't know better,

I would think you are trying to avoid us.

Come on, mom.

No, Mrs Gayatri. Akhil

is a good boy. Am I right?

It depends, Mrs Iyer.

I'm a very good boy on

Tuesdays and Thursdays.

But on the other days,

tough to predict!

Amazing!

- Hi, mom

- Mom

Come.

- Hello, uncle.

- Hello, Dhruv.

- What the

- Good to see you.

Did I travel through

time in my sleep?

And then, today

Is today one year ago?

Lovely to see you, Dhruv.

You too, Vasu.

Hari Om!

Why did you not tell me?

I found out from Kavanya.

Why did you keep it from me?

And now what? Are you back?

What chutney is this?

Is it the garlic one?

Tomato, onion.

Okay. In that case,

it's fine. As long as it's not garlic.

I hate garlic.

And garlic.

Mom, I'll manage.

I'm almost 40 years old.

If getting old had anything

to do with smartness,

your cousin What's

his name? Pradeep!

He would've been a genius.

Talk to me, Vasudha. I can

help you with this, you know.

It's done.

Now, please let me manage this.

Vasudha, you had one job.

You had to maintain your marriage,

but you couldn't do that.

Mom, you know Dhruv had an

affair with his assistant, right?

I saw them in my

bed with my own eyes.

That aside,

we were not in

sync for a long time.

And I was not happy.

Are you happy now?

Oh my God!

Dhruv is a good guy. You're

not perfect either, Vasudha.

20 years of marriage

is a big investment.

You have to sort

this disaster out.

I've been so stressed.

Why are you

calling it a disaster?

Wow! I have to interrupt

this family drama.

This chutney is so good, Selvi.

It's garlic chutney, Akhil.

Sorry, I added it by mistake.

What? But it is so tasty.

And I was refusing to have it.

Okay. I have to

go to the gallery.

So, I'll see y'all later.

Yeah. Me too.

See you guys later.

Did we get the

results from Dennis?

His codes run on the UI, right?

Well, guys,

the good news is that

the test results of Dennis'

sample code are looking great.

In fact,

some of our customers are saying

that our new interface is high on fun,

safety and is modern.

- So

- It's way better, man. Seriously!

Like,

my cousin is back on Kechup.

Basically,

she was a part of this sample test.

And guess what,

guys? She liked it a lot.

And she also told me how

many 'throuples' were there on it.

'Throuples' refers to three

people dating each other.

1.2 million!

What do you mean by 1.2 million?

If 125 guests confirm the RSVP,

and if 40 of them

spend Rs 30,000 on an art piece,

do you know how much we'd make?

- 1.2 million.

- Rs 1.2 million!

Do you know how much we'd make if

you sell three of Sangram's paintings?

I don't know. I mean, I don't know

how they'll react to Sangram's paintings.

I'm really nervous.

Excited, but

But nervous.

What do you mean by that? Of course,

it's gonna be great.

And people are not that brutish

that they will ignore an

original artist like Sangram.

That reminds me,

I have invited the Proficient crowd too.

I'm not sure whether they'll come

or not. Please, don't be upset.

No. Very good.

- What?

- We're just one week away.

Be paranoid or

android or whatever!

Anyway, what we can do is

we'll wait for a few more weeks

to see how Dennis'

new algo performs.

And then we can

launch it officially. Okay?

Yeah.

I can keep sharing updates

on the weekly emails.

Yeah.

Akhil, do you want your chair?

I mean,

I can move in case you wanna sit here.

No, man I'm cool.

Alright.

Fine. Let's meet for the

5 pm daily huddle. Right?

And we have

gourmet pizzas today.

Which one? 16-inch?

Alright. Good stuff,

guys. I'll see you at 5.

- Thank you.

- See you.

- Panku!

- Yes.

Do you have a minute?

Yes. I have a meeting,

but I have a minute. Tell me.

He's doing well.

JC!

Are you alright?

This one is from Bhaskar.

He told me to

keep it in the fridge.

What is it?

I don't know.

The truth about the f*cked-up

relations between my mom and me.

I don't know.

What do you mean?

- Panku, I quit.

- What?

Not like that.

I mean,

I quit my whining about JC.

He'd be a good CEO.

I mean,

we haven't formalised anything yet,

but he has picked

up stuff so fast.

His ideas are interesting,

and he's bonded well with the team too.

I don't know why I was so against him,

acting like a lone warrior.

I just got it, dude.

As it is, I'm under pressure

because of this exhibition.

And after what happened in the morning,

I might lose my cool soon.

Oh my God! Is your

mom Darth Vader?

I don't know. You know she

makes me feel small very fast.

I don't know. Sometimes,

it's so difficult to understand her.

And I'm at a loss of

words in front of her.

How did you come

to this conclusion?

Chutney, man!

- It hit me deeply.

- What?

These things

remind me of my life.

All of it.

It's all there. It's

scattered and messy.

A complete mess.

Hopefully,

it'll come together at some point in time.

You're quite weird, bro.

That's what I thought

in the morning.

We're finally on the same page.

I'm a f*cking rebel

without a cause.

And now,

I'm feeling much better.

Okay. See you later.

Should I just f*cking ruin

all his algo and codes?

Naah! f*ck it!

- Hey

- Class.

Go late. Anyway,

Subramanian anyway bores with his

political discussions and all.

No. I hate going late. Come on.

I can't walk now.

That's your problem.

Is there anything

about you that's normal?

I mean, how can you love fries

and beer? Be so much like a 'bro',

yet, can be a perfect girl.

Do you like me,

or do you like my preferences?

I don't know whether it is normal or not,

but this is who I'm.

I guess you can call

me unpredictable.

What?

Well, there's something that

wasn't unpredictable about you.

You kiss like a boss!

No, I mean it.

And I'm sure that

when we finally do do it,

it's gonna be great.

There's gonna be fireworks!

Listen. Although I'm great in bed,

of course

Of course.

Expectation is the

mother of all f*ck-ups.

The more you plan it or talk about it

It'll never match up to the real deal.

And let our first

time be different.

Okay. I'm listening.

Okay.

How about you, me

and her?

You mean you wanna go for a

triangle instead of a straight line!

Like a samosa.

I mean,

come on! Wine and popcorn!

Just weird.

So, why not just me?

Okay.

7 o'clock on your left.

She's chatting up someone

instead of looking at her phone.

It means her chances

of responding are high.

Watch and learn.

I'll be back.

- Hi!

- Hi.

- Mind if I join you?

- Sure.

Let's see what we've got.

- Oh my!

- Got it!

- There's a lot of hay.

- Wait, wait, wait.

Sameer Sawant's contribution.

Roots up, fruits down.

Are they idiots,

or do they think we are?

Is there anything else inside?

No. It's just grass.

Hi! I'm busy.

Rinzing!

- Meet Ila.

- Hi.

And Sonia.

- Hi!

- Hi!

He's cute.

Thank you? Same to you?

Beer?

- Bro, listen. You, Ila, Sonia and me.

- Thank you.

Foursome.

f*ck,

my Kechup date will be arriving.

That's why you're wearing

cologne and a cool shirt!

I knew you'd drop by today.

That's why I got dressed up.

I knew it!

The first day when you laid your

eyes on me at the breakfast table,

I knew that you and I

had something

But, bro, sorry.

I'm here because of Ilu.

Ilu

- Hi!

- What's up?

Hi!

Don't bother.

- Hi!

- Hey, Rinzing!

- Hi! How are you?

- Hey!

Hi!

- Do you have guests over?

- Come in.

- Ila.

- Sonia.

Akhil.

- Jasmeet.

- Hi.

Come on. We want to

discuss something with you.

Sure.

What the f*ck is going on?

Discussion.

Hi, mom!

Right on time! Good. Will

Kavanya be joining us?

No. She's staying with Dhruv

tonight. She has a study group.

Oh, yes! Yes! She told me.

- Are you both fine?

- Yeah. Of course!

Okay.

Just gimme two minutes.

I'll freshen up and come.

Yes.

And Vasu,

do something about your hair.

Wear a scarf or something.

By the way, we'll have to do it

with one person at a time, right?

That's up to you.

Actually,

I haven't done it before.

But everyone has needs, right?

This feels more like

greed and not a need.

And I love being greedy.

One is better than four!

Why not?

Of course! You're a smart girl.

You'll get four instead of one.

Have y'all done this before?

She's the most experienced one.

The rest of us are just

letting it go and trying our luck.

Under her leadership.

Come on, Jasmeet.

You've come to Bengaluru

to spend your holidays.

Take back some great

memories with you.

Or you might regret not trying

it once you return to Ludhiana.

Yes.

- Yes?

- Yes!

- Cheers!

- Cheers!

- Shall we?

- Oh! I'm so excited!

Wow! I like her.

- Come on.

- Come on.

Come, come, come.

All this is happening

because of the chutney.

- I'll tell you about it later.

- Oh! I see.

Okay.

Okay. Yeah.

Wait a second.

f*ck it!

I'll go that way.

I Should I try to get under?

I

Have fun, guys.

Akhil Rao, let it go!

What happened?

Well, everyone seemed quite

happy amongst themselves.

I stopped gate-crashing

parties since I was 13.

Rinzing is having fun.

f*ck yeah! I mean,

if this was an Olympic sport,

Rinzing would have

won a lot of gold medals!

Oops!

I got a dinner at

home with the parents.

Do you want to join us?

You want me to meet your

parents after a fivesome!

It's a bit much. Next time?

But you can drop

me off on the way.

You don't wanna stay!

I was doing it for you.

Why would I stay

here without you?

But you know what! I'm

glad we're back together.

Guys,

are we trying to recreate a family moment?

You know when we

used to watch TV together,

which, in my memory,

happened only twice.

Because mom had work calls,

and dad was busy with sermons.

Don't be like this, Akhil.

Like what? Myself?

Are you showing us the

photos you took on the cruise?

Hi! Hello, kids!

Namaste!

Akhil,

could you sit up straight? Please.

Mom

Where are these kids from?

They are our kids.

What do you mean?

I mean,

they study at Ramnath School.

It is an orphanage.

Our post-retirement plan

is to take care of them.

We adopted this orphanage.

We're going there

in the morning.

- Ramesh.

- Hi!

- Vinil.

- Hi!

Sita!

Rakhi! You're

wearing the pink dress!

Oh! We bought this from Bali.

You look beautiful

in that pink dress.

Thank you, ma'am.

Very nice.

How are you, Gagan?

Everything's well, Mrs Gayatri and

Mr Rao. We'll be meeting tomorrow?

Yes. We'll leave by 6.

Akku,

they've already ruined our lives.

Are they gonna destroy

the whole school?

They look so cute.

I feel bad for them.

Look,

we have to tolerate them until tomorrow.

- So, let it go!

- Okay.

Kids, this is your elder brother,

Akhil.

Akhil, talk to them.

Hi, brothers and sisters.

Hi!

Good luck.

If you have any complaints about

mom and dad, my toll-free number

is 9810098100.

He's just joking. Really,

Akhil! Please.

And this is your elder sister,

Vasudha.

- Hi!

- Hi!

Akku, these poor kids!

Just a minute. The kids

want to say something.

Come on, kids! Together

Thank you!

We've gifted them these tablets.

Why did he take the violin out?

And kids,

you will soon have your own Wi-Fi.

We've spoken to

two service providers.

It'll definitely be

ready by next week.

Wi-Fi! Yes!

Akhil! What happened? Wi-Fi?

Yes,

mom. This is what happens here.

That's why we couldn't answer your

calls when you were on the cruise.

I finally got the tune right.

And look at this.

This is really the pits,

you know!

This was our intro call. It

was supposed to go smoothly.

We'll have to do damage

control as soon as we reach there.

Mom,

are we your testimonials or your children?

I just don't get you,

Akhil. I don't get you at all.

Why can't you take

things seriously?

Mom, I have you for that.

CSO! Chief Seriousness Officer!

Akhil!

Anyway,

we'll meet them tomorrow.

Oh! Are you leaving

tomorrow morning?

Yes.

And we'll be back in a week,

right? To attend Vasudha's exhibition.

- Okay. Good night. See you then.

- Good night.

- Good night.

- Good night.

Poor kids! They were so excited.

You both could have

been a little nicer.

I guess you both are so busy

with your lives that it just

They're just kids.

Don't worry about them.

That's exactly what they thought

about us and our childhood.

Hate-same matches!

What if

we love those who hate

the same things we do?

Potatoes and veggies,

tea, coffee,

dogs, cats,

mummy and papa

If we hate the same dishes,

the matches will be higher.

Let's see, guys.

I mean,

putting this as our last shot.

Here. The perfect dessert.

Had gone for a fivesome.

I got it from there.

- Are you kidding me?

- No.

I finally got it.

Let it go!

- Forget about everything.

- Really?

Why didn't you let it go

in front of mom and dad?

There's a limit to everything.

I already finished

my quota today.

Okay. If you

really like Ila a lot,

I'll try and be nice to her.

You'll like her. She's fun.

We'll be fine.

But dad plays the

violin beautifully.

Yeah, man!

That's true! Beautiful!
