Sitting on a low sofa, Navin dabbles with a harmonium. He clearly has no idea how to play the instrument. Ajji enters. She speaks in Hindi.
AjjI (o.S.)
When Mannu got the discharge papers done I called some friends over.
Navin puts the harmonium aside.
AjjI (CONT'D)
I thought we'd throw a party for you.
NaVIN
Yes, Ajji.
She takes a seat opposite him.
AJJI
Why don't you call some of your friends?
NAVIN
I don't have any friends here in Mumbai.
AJJI
Ok... Mukhtiyar Ali is in the city. I have invited him too. Do you like his music?
Navin gives her a blank look.
Ajji (CONT'D)
Even he is from Rajasthan. I am sure you must have heard his music.
NaVIN
No... never got a chance.
A cook comes in with a spoon of gravy. Ajji dips a finger in and has a taste.
NaVIN (CONT'D)
(to the cook)
How are you Raju?
Raju (o.S.)
I'm good... And you, brother?
NAVIN
Great!
AjJI
(to the cook)
I will join you in a moment.
The cook leaves. Ajji resumes her conversation with Navin.
AjJI (CONT'D)
I had invited Dr. Kelkar as well but he is tied up with work. Did you get along with him?
NaVIN
Yes! He speaks highly of you.
Ajji stands up to leave. Navin follows her.
AJJI
He used to write revolutionary songs!
NAVIN
Dr. Kelkar?
AJJI
(laughs)
Yes!
NAVIN
Just like your friend who had come to see me at the hospital?
AJJI
Yes.
Ajji turns around.
AjJI (CONT'D)
Did you read her book?
NaVIN
No... didn't get the time.
AjjI
(irritated)
When she gave you the book, she asked if you would read it. Then why did you say you would?
NAVIN
How can I say no when she's offering me her book?
AJJI
She'll be here in the evening. Tell her the truth if she asks.
NAVIN
Ok.
AJJI
Don't make alibis like not having had the time. Ok?
She leaves. Navin returns to his seat.
