Fernandes? Fernandes, this is Shaikh. Shaikh, Mr Fernandes.

0:06:250:06:30

Shaikh used to work in Saudi Arabia as the chief accountant for a small firm.

0:06:300:06:33

He will take over your responsibilities when you

0:06:330:06:36

leave us next month. Shaikh comes with very good references.

0:06:360:06:38

Very pleased to meet you, sir.

0:06:380:06:40

I had him join us early so that you can train him in all that you

0:06:420:06:45

do in claims.

0:06:450:06:47

Good luck.

0:06:470:06:49

"There are too many people, and everyone wants what the other has.

0:29:370:29:41

"Years ago, you could find a place to sit on the train every now

0:29:420:29:46

"and then, but these days it is different.

"I'll have to stand even when I'm dead.

Yeah.

0:44:420:44:44

What happened?

0:45:050:45:07

Why?

0:45:170:45:18

There's no value for talent in this country.

0:45:290:45:32

"Dear Ila. Your grandmother's recipe was very good.

0:45:580:46:03

"Even better than my favourite aubergines.

0:46:030:46:06

"Yesterday, even I found something from many years ago.

0:46:060:46:09

"I found old TV shows that my wife used to record.

0:46:090:46:12

"You must have been a child when they played on TV, or not even born yet.

0:46:140:46:18

"My wife used to love them. I don't know why I wanted to see them.

0:46:250:46:30

"I watched them for hours.

0:46:300:46:31

"I went through them show by show, episode by episode,

0:46:330:46:36

"and then finally, after staying up all night,

0:46:360:46:41

"I realised what it was that I was looking for.

0:46:410:46:45

"Every Sunday when she watched the shows,

0:46:450:46:47

"I was outside repairing my bicycle, or just smoking,

0:46:470:46:51

"and I would glance through the window every now and then,

0:46:510:46:53

"just for a second,

0:46:530:46:55

"and I would see her reflection on the TV screen, laughing.

0:46:550:46:58

"Laughing at the same jokes, over and over,

0:46:590:47:02

"each time as if she was hearing it for the very first time.

0:47:020:47:06

"I wish I had kept on looking back, then."

0:47:080:47:12

OK. Have?

0:47:330:47:34

No, have.

0:47:370:47:38

-Paper?

0:47:480:47:51

"Dear Ila. You won't believe what happened to me yesterday.

0:54:060:54:10

"In the evening,

0:54:120:54:13

"I was walking to the station with Shaikh - Shaikh and I, we

0:54:130:54:17

"work together - I felt like stopping to look at a painter's works.

0:54:170:54:21

"All his paintings are exactly the same, but when you look close,

0:54:220:54:27

"real close, you can see that they're different,

0:54:270:54:30

"each slightly different from the other.

0:54:300:54:32

"A different car here,

0:54:320:54:33

"a different man daydreaming on the bus there,

0:54:330:54:36

"a stray dog gallantly crossing the street...

0:54:360:54:38

"Whatever catches the painter's fancy on that day.

0:54:380:54:40

"And in one of them, I saw myself. At least, I think it's me.

0:54:400:54:48

"And then I treated myself to an odd rickshaw.

0:54:500:54:52

"The old houses of boys I used to play with as

0:54:540:54:56

"a child are gone now, my old school too.

0:54:560:54:59

"But some things are still the same. The old post office is still there.

0:55:020:55:08

"And the hospital where I was born and where my parents died,

0:55:080:55:12

"and my wife.

0:55:120:55:14

"I think we forget things if we have no-one to tell them to."

I just had a meeting with the accounts department.

1:06:461:06:50

It was the most embarrassing meeting of my life. You know what they said?

1:06:501:06:55

They said it's as if our claims department does not exist.

1:06:571:07:01

All the pay orders are wrong.

1:07:041:07:07

Shaikh's initials are all over the place.

1:07:071:07:09

And to think I was going to have this man replace you.

1:07:111:07:14

I need you to review this. Stay up all night if necessary, but fix it.

1:07:171:07:22

And as for you, Shaikh, just get out of my sight, please.

1:07:231:07:27

It's my mistake, sir. I made the pay orders.

1:07:271:07:31

I asked for his initials because we work together.

1:07:321:07:36

-It's my mistake.

-Fernandes, you don't have to defend him.

I'm not defending anyone, sir.

35 years of service, and you have not made one single mistake.

1:07:451:07:49

You know I would not defend anyone, sir.

1:07:511:07:53

1:07:561:07:57

-I'll handle the accounts department, OK?

-Yes, sir. OK, sir.

-Really?

-Smell it. Smell it!

1:08:151:08:19

I...

1:08:231:08:24

Don't you ever cut your bloody vegetables on the office files.

1:08:531:08:57

Sorry, sir.

1:08:581:09:00

I'm sorry, sir.

1:09:081:09:10

These are government records. Do you understand?

1:09:181:09:21

What kind of a person you are, Mr Shaikh? Huh?

1:09:551:09:58

Sir, please.

1:10:121:10:14

Unbelievable, Mr Shaikh.

1:10:191:10:21

"Dear Ila. I got the lunchbox today.

1:19:431:19:46

"There was nothing in it, and I deserve that.

1:19:461:19:49

"Yesterday you waited in the restaurant for me for a long time,

1:19:511:19:55

"but before that, that same morning I forgot something in the bathroom.

1:19:551:20:01

"I went back in to get it, and the bathroom smelled the same, exactly

1:20:031:20:08

"the same as it used to be after my grandfather had been in the shower.

1:20:081:20:13

"It was like my grandfather had been there, but he had not.

1:20:141:20:18

"It was just me.

1:20:191:20:22

"Just me and the smell of an old man. I don't know when I became old.

1:20:221:20:28

"Maybe it was that morning. Maybe it was many, many mornings ago.

1:20:291:20:33

"And maybe if I had forgotten something in bathroom before,

1:20:341:20:37

"I would have found out sooner.

1:20:371:20:39

"Life kept on going and lulled me with its motions.

1:20:471:20:51

"I kept rocking back and forth as it threw me left

1:20:511:20:54

"and threw me right, and then before I knew it...

1:20:541:20:57

"No-one buys yesterday's lottery ticket, Ila.

1:20:591:21:02

"I came to the restaurant while you were waiting.

"There you were, fidgeting with your purse, drinking all that water.

1:21:081:21:13

"I wanted to come up to you and tell you all this in person,

"You looked beautiful.
