But Maan keeps blowing the horn inone hand and pulls Geet in with the other...

Geet suddenly hears crackersbursting and a whole bunch of children running towards the car waving and wishingGeet...'

They keep chanting  "happy b'day to Geet..."

As the gate opens Maan dirvesforward and sops the car...

He comes down and opens the doorfor Geet...

He lends her a hand and helps herget down...

He then wishes her..." Happy b'dayGeet..."
