Arjun returns with a story: a fight over a cricket ball, a broken window, and a teacher who “hates him for no reason.” Rajiv returns with his own story: a boss who sent a email at 9 PM last night, and a traffic jam that made him miss the Ganpati procession.
He kisses the top of her head—a quick, stolen gesture after 17 years of marriage—and rushes out.
