Dadi.(look at her)
Ashwini Malhotra/ML grandma
देख बेटा, वह मंदिर हमारी पुस्तैनी मंदिर हैं और हमारा परिवार सदियों से उस मंदिर में पूजा करते आ रहे हैं, हम ही उस मंदिर के लिए सब चीजें दान देते हैं।
(Translation: Look son, that temple is our ancestral temple and our family has been worshipping in that temple for centuries.)
Krish Malhotra/ML
But Daadi, you know I don't believe in God.
Ashwini Malhotra/ML grandma
(tap his arm with nod) I know
Ashwini Malhotra/ML grandma
But there's a ritual your great great grandfather started and it continued, even your father did that since when he attained 25 of age.
Sanaya Kritarth Malhotra/ML mother
We did not force you for so many years when you refused it, but son, now you are 29 years old, do not refuse now, because you will have to carry forward this tradition.
Krish Malhotra/ML
............
Sanaya Kritarth Malhotra/ML mother
We would've asked Sameer, but this tradition can be only forwarded by the linage of the paternal family and Sameer's father is not our family.❄️
Krish Malhotra/ML
(curled fingers) Fine, when shall I leave? ❄️
Ashwini Malhotra/ML grandma
(smile brightly at Sanaya)
Sanaya Kritarth Malhotra/ML mother
(lips curved into a smile at Ashwini)
Ashwini Malhotra/ML grandma
(look at Krish) You must arrive there tomorrow before 11.30, because Puja will begin from 11.30.
Sanaya Kritarth Malhotra/ML mother
You must reach there at 10 am sharp, because you need to do some preparation before the aarti.
Krish Malhotra/ML
(sigh pinching forehead)
Ashwini Malhotra/ML grandma

(goes to the balcony edge)
Krish Malhotra/ML
(press hands on the fence)
Krish Malhotra/ML
(In mind: After all these years, I'm again returning to the city from where it all began.)
Krish Malhotra/ML
(look at the sky with blank eyes)
Krish Malhotra/ML
(In mind: My only mistake was that I delayed in recognizing right and wrong.)
Krish Malhotra/ML
अगर पहले ही पहचान लेता, तो शायद मैं तुम्हारे साथ खड़ा होता, ना कि तुम्हारे खिलाफ़।(said with lost eyes)
(Translation: If I had recognized it earlier, perhaps I would have stood with you, not against you.)
Krish Malhotra/ML
But I did a huge mistake, or shall I name it as a sin.
Krish Malhotra/ML
तुम्हारा गुनहगार हूं मैं, सजा तो मिलना ही चाहिए।
(Translation: I am guilty towards you, I must be punished.)
Krish Malhotra/ML
...और इस बार, मैं अपने हर गुनाह का पच्चाताप करूंगा।(stern voice)
(Translation: ...And this time, I will repent every sin I committed.)
