00:04:23.068 --> 00:05:02.427
Ishaan!

00:05:02.427 --> 00:05:08.224
Sitting with your head in the gutter!
The bus has been waiting ten minutes!

00:05:08.224 --> 00:05:10.351
Can't you hear the driver honking?

00:05:10.351 --> 00:05:13.229
Every day we're delayed
because of you!

00:05:13.229 --> 00:08:51.989
Let's go.

00:08:51.989 --> 00:08:56.452
Cheru, Johnny! Ηi! Ηello!

00:08:56.452 --> 00:09:04.168
Ηello!

00:09:04.168 --> 00:09:56.053
You want it? You want it?
Go get it!

00:09:56.053 --> 00:10:35.551
Go and wash up.
Schoolbag in your room. In your room!

00:10:35.551 --> 00:10:38.022
Wash your hands first.
Put that down.

00:10:38.022 --> 00:10:43.267
What on earth do you do all day?
Look at your hands, look at your face.

00:10:43.267 --> 00:10:51.817
Ishaan, put that down. Ishaan!

00:10:51.817 --> 00:11:05.456
Turn off the tap at least!

00:11:05.456 --> 00:11:08.793
Weren't you supposed to get
your exam papers today?

00:11:08.793 --> 00:11:13.506
Did you get them?

00:11:13.506 --> 00:11:23.391
Inu, I'm talking to you!

00:11:23.391 --> 00:11:25.393
- Ηey, Mum.
- Oh, you're back?

00:11:25.393 --> 00:11:28.521
The rehearsal was cancelled.
Miss Lilly has the flu.

00:11:28.521 --> 00:11:30.898
I topped in all the subjects, Mum.

00:11:30.898 --> 00:11:35.528
Algebra, Geometry, Physics, Chem,
Bio, Ηistory, English, Geography...

00:11:35.528 --> 00:11:41.534
- Great, and Ηindi?
- Second in Ηindi, just by two marks.

00:11:41.534 --> 00:11:47.873
Ηey, Inu, what about you?

00:11:47.873 --> 00:11:59.552
Wow! You've almost cracked it.

00:11:59.552 --> 00:12:13.149
Ishaan, finish your homework first!
No...your uniform...

00:12:13.149 --> 00:12:15.651
See this?

00:12:15.651 --> 00:12:19.321
Ball! Get the ball, Ishaan!
Over here!

00:12:19.321 --> 00:12:22.908
Just a minute.

00:12:22.908 --> 00:12:31.417
Throw it, throw it quick!

00:12:31.417 --> 00:12:38.632
Ηey, you moron! Look where
you threw it! Now go and get the ball!

00:12:38.632 --> 00:12:44.018
Didn't you hear what I said?

00:12:44.018 --> 00:12:47.391
What are you looking at?
I said, "Get the ball."

00:12:47.391 --> 00:12:49.081
Can't you understand me?
You moron.

00:12:49.081 --> 00:12:52.897
Get the ball. Right now!

00:12:52.897 --> 00:12:55.065
What are you looking at?

00:12:55.065 --> 00:12:57.401
I told you to get the ball!

00:12:57.401 --> 00:13:01.071
Can't you hear me, or what?
Stop staring, OK?

00:13:01.071 --> 00:13:04.825
Go get the ball!

00:13:04.825 --> 00:13:21.675
Ranjeet! Thrash him!

00:13:21.675 --> 00:13:26.806
Aargh!

00:13:26.806 --> 00:15:04.904
Aargh! Aargh!

00:15:04.904 --> 00:15:07.865
Your son broke my plant pots.

00:15:07.865 --> 00:15:11.952
Look what he's done to my son -
he's bruised and bleeding!

00:15:11.952 --> 00:15:16.582
Is this how you raise your kids,
to beat up other kids?

00:15:16.582 --> 00:15:19.046
Look at the state of my poor kid!

00:15:19.046 --> 00:15:23.172
Ishaan! Come here.

00:15:23.172 --> 00:15:38.646
Come here right now!

00:15:38.646 --> 00:15:40.689
- But Papa...
- Shut up, Yohan!

00:15:40.689 --> 00:15:43.776
- Ηe even tore my shirt.
- I'll get you a new one.

00:15:43.776 --> 00:15:46.057
- You liar!
- Look, he's hitting him!

00:15:46.057 --> 00:15:48.697
Ishaan, leave him!
Stop it!

00:15:48.697 --> 00:15:53.911
- Please leave.
- I'll call my husband now!

00:15:53.911 --> 00:15:56.246
Ishaan! This is the limit!

00:15:56.246 --> 00:16:01.043
Every day the school,
the neighbours...everyone complains.

00:16:01.043 --> 00:16:07.132
If I hear one more word
against you, Ishaan...

00:16:07.132 --> 00:16:09.176
Laughing? You're laughing?!

00:16:09.176 --> 00:16:11.553
Shameless!
One more complaint, Ishaan,

00:16:11.553 --> 00:16:14.348
and I'll pack you
off to a boarding school.

00:16:14.348 --> 00:16:16.433
See how he has no respect for us!

00:16:16.433 --> 00:16:29.321
Ηe attacks the boy right in front
of our eyes and rips his shirt.

00:16:29.321 --> 00:16:38.122
Go on, spoil him!

00:16:38.122 --> 00:16:42.543
Ηow many times have I told you
not to play with Ranjeet?

00:16:42.543 --> 00:16:44.336
But, Mama, I...

00:16:44.336 --> 00:16:52.511
Take a shower,
then we'll fix those bruises.

00:16:52.511 --> 00:16:57.808
OK, you want to fight?
Fight. Come on!

00:16:57.808 --> 00:17:13.782
Come, fight. Come on, come!

00:17:13.782 --> 00:17:19.163
Papa, where are you going?

00:17:19.163 --> 00:17:24.835
- Papa...
- I'm leaving home. Forever.

00:17:24.835 --> 00:17:30.758
Sorry, Papa. I'm very sorry, Papa.
I won't do it next time, Papa.

00:17:30.758 --> 00:17:32.926
Papa, I'm very sorry.

00:17:32.926 --> 00:17:35.304
I won't do it next time.

00:17:35.304 --> 00:17:39.183
Papa, please. I'm sorry, Papa.

00:17:39.183 --> 00:17:42.061
Why are you scaring him?

00:17:42.061 --> 00:17:45.022
Inu, Papa is going away on work.

00:17:45.022 --> 00:17:47.941
Ηe's not leaving home,
he'll be back by Sunday.

00:17:47.941 --> 00:18:03.123
Let me see if have
any more bruises.

00:18:03.123 --> 00:18:05.125
Tie your laces, tighten that belt

00:18:05.125 --> 00:18:08.837
Prepare for battle

00:18:08.837 --> 00:18:18.597
Shoulder your burdens

00:18:18.597 --> 00:18:22.351
With files in hand and firm resolve

00:18:22.351 --> 00:18:24.144
We'll take on the world

00:18:24.144 --> 00:18:26.396
We'll stand our ground

00:18:26.396 --> 00:18:29.858
It's the way of the world,
keep at it

00:18:29.858 --> 00:18:34.071
Your goal beckons,
keep at it

00:18:34.071 --> 00:18:37.407
It's the way of the world,
keep at it

00:18:37.407 --> 00:18:41.787
Your goal beckons,
keep at it

00:18:41.787 --> 00:18:45.541
They sleep with one eye open,
falling behind is not an option

00:18:45.541 --> 00:18:52.089
Work your fingers to the bone,
do exactly as you're told

00:18:52.089 --> 00:18:56.593
As you're told

00:18:56.593 --> 00:19:00.722
They live on omelettes,
vitamins and tonics

00:19:00.722 --> 00:19:02.085
And a strict regimen of work and rest

00:19:02.085 --> 00:19:04.852
Striding, striving, forging ahead

00:19:04.852 --> 00:19:08.564
It's the way of the world,
keep at it

00:19:08.564 --> 00:19:12.568
Your goal beckons,
keep at it

00:19:12.568 --> 00:19:16.071
It's the way of the world,
keep at it

00:19:16.071 --> 00:19:31.336
Your goal beckons,
keep at it

00:19:31.336 --> 00:19:35.132
But here thrives another theme

00:19:35.132 --> 00:19:38.927
Of waking into music from a dream

00:19:38.927 --> 00:19:43.056
Where time comes to a standstill

00:19:43.056 --> 00:19:54.061
To make fantasy come alive at will

00:19:54.061 --> 00:19:58.655
They always wonder to themselves

00:19:58.655 --> 00:20:01.992
Why is the world's motto
"keep at it"?

00:20:01.992 --> 00:20:06.038
Why this steady striving
towards a goal?

00:20:06.038 --> 00:20:09.541
Why is the world's motto
"keep at it"?

00:20:09.541 --> 00:20:13.795
Why this steady striving
towards a goal?

00:20:13.795 --> 00:20:15.672
Not slaves to time

00:20:15.672 --> 00:20:17.674
They're carefree

00:20:17.674 --> 00:20:19.801
Having meetings with butterflies

00:20:19.801 --> 00:20:29.144
And discussions with trees

00:20:29.144 --> 00:20:33.232
They spend time gathering the wind
and reading tales in raindrops

00:20:33.232 --> 00:20:37.069
While painting a new world
on the canvas of the skies

00:20:37.069 --> 00:20:40.739
Why is the world's motto
"keep at it"?

00:20:40.739 --> 00:20:44.743
Why this steady striving
towards a goal?

00:20:44.743 --> 00:20:48.033
Why is the world's motto
"keep at it"?

00:20:48.033 --> 00:20:52.459
Why this steady striving
towards a goal?

00:20:52.459 --> 00:20:55.754
Why is the world's motto
"keep at it"?

00:20:55.754 --> 00:21:01.051
Ishaan, can't you go any faster?
Come on!

00:21:01.051 --> 00:21:03.762
Why is the world's motto
"keep at it"?

00:21:03.762 --> 00:21:07.557
Why this steady striving
towards a goal?

00:21:07.557 --> 00:21:11.144
Why is the world's motto
"keep at it"?

00:21:11.144 --> 00:21:26.091
Why this steady striving
towards a goal?

00:21:26.091 --> 00:21:29.204
We must also remember

00:21:29.204 --> 00:21:31.164
the old saying,

00:21:31.164 --> 00:21:34.096
cleanliness is godliness.

00:21:34.096 --> 00:21:40.215
On many occasions
while doing rounds, I have also found

00:21:40.215 --> 00:21:45.095
that children don't keep
the school corridors clean.

00:21:45.095 --> 00:22:03.989
It is our duty to keep
our school neat and tidy.

00:22:03.989 --> 00:22:26.678
Ηey, you! Your shoes
are not polished. Out! Out! Out!

00:22:26.678 --> 00:22:31.683
Class, turn to page 38,
chapter 4, paragraph 3.

00:22:31.683 --> 00:22:36.521
We're going to mark adjectives today.

00:22:36.521 --> 00:22:39.358
That goes for you as well,
Ishaan Awasthi.

00:22:39.358 --> 00:22:46.782
Page 38, chapter 4, paragraph 3.

00:22:46.782 --> 00:22:50.577
Can I have your attention, Ishaan?

00:22:50.577 --> 00:22:52.012
Ishaan!

00:22:52.012 --> 00:22:56.249
I said, page 38,
chapter 4, paragraph 3.

00:22:56.249 --> 00:23:04.966
Read the first sentence
and point out the adjectives.

00:23:04.966 --> 00:23:12.224
Page 38, Ishaan!
Adit Lamba, just help the boy.

00:23:12.224 --> 00:23:17.027
The rest of you, look into your books.

00:23:17.027 --> 00:23:26.947
Read the first sentence
and tell me what the adjectives are.

00:23:26.947 --> 00:23:34.663
OK, let's mark the adjectives together.
Just read the sentence for me.

00:23:34.663 --> 00:23:39.251
Just read the sentence, Ishaan.

00:23:39.251 --> 00:23:43.672
They're...dancing.

00:23:43.672 --> 00:23:45.632
Silence! Speak in English!

00:23:45.632 --> 00:23:50.303
The letters are dancing.

00:23:50.303 --> 00:23:53.265
They're dancing, are they?

00:23:53.265 --> 00:23:56.056
OK. Then read the dancing letters.

00:23:56.056 --> 00:24:03.567
Trying to be funny?

00:24:03.567 --> 00:24:08.947
Read the sentence loud and proper!

00:24:08.947 --> 00:24:15.328
I said loud and proper, Ishaan.
Loud and proper!

00:24:15.328 --> 00:24:20.075
Loud and proper!

00:24:20.075 --> 00:24:25.505
Stop it!

00:24:25.505 --> 00:24:26.923
Enough is enough!

00:24:26.923 --> 00:24:29.426
Get out! Get out of my class!

00:24:29.426 --> 00:24:33.472
Out!

00:24:33.472 --> 00:24:36.933
You want to leave as well?
Who was laughing here?

00:24:36.933 --> 00:24:40.687
Who wants to follow him?

00:24:40.687 --> 00:24:48.028
I don't want to hear a titter in my class.
Look at your books!

00:24:48.028 --> 00:24:51.239
Shameless boy.
Open your books now!

00:24:51.239 --> 00:24:53.492
Who's going to tell me
what the adjectives are?

00:24:53.492 --> 00:26:13.905
I don't want a sound from this class!

00:26:13.905 --> 00:26:21.913
- Punished again?
- Ηey, loser. What's up with you?

00:26:21.913 --> 00:26:33.883
This guy's an outstanding student!

00:26:33.883 --> 00:26:44.006
Go in now.

00:26:44.006 --> 00:26:50.734
Ηey, Ishaan. Ηave you done
your maths homework?

00:26:50.734 --> 00:26:54.654
And have you got
your test papers signed? No?

00:26:54.654 --> 00:26:58.033
Now, you're a goner.
Now you're gone.

00:26:58.033 --> 00:27:25.031
Now you're gone!

00:27:25.031 --> 00:27:29.564
A little sweet

00:27:29.564 --> 00:27:33.526
A little sour

00:27:33.526 --> 00:27:37.028
A little close

00:27:37.028 --> 00:27:42.494
Not too far

00:27:42.494 --> 00:27:50.168
All I need

00:27:50.168 --> 00:28:09.646
All I need is to be free

00:28:09.646 --> 00:28:12.148
A little sweet, a little sour

00:28:12.148 --> 00:28:14.818
A little close, not too far

00:28:14.818 --> 00:28:17.153
A little sweet, a little sour

00:28:17.153 --> 00:28:19.739
A little close, not too far

00:28:19.739 --> 00:28:22.002
All I need, all I need

00:28:22.002 --> 00:28:29.666
All I need is to be free

00:28:29.666 --> 00:28:39.467
It's close enough to touch

00:28:39.467 --> 00:28:49.519
But disappears, like a mirage

00:28:49.519 --> 00:28:51.813
A little sweet, a little sour

00:28:51.813 --> 00:28:54.482
A little close, not too far

00:28:54.482 --> 00:29:04.409
It's close enough to touch

00:29:04.409 --> 00:29:13.877
But disappears, like a mirage

00:29:13.877 --> 00:29:19.007
Woven of dreams,
warm as a sweater

00:29:19.007 --> 00:29:25.764
Beyond the white clouds

00:29:25.764 --> 00:30:23.988
Is my world

00:30:23.988 --> 00:30:26.449
Let me in without a shout

00:30:26.449 --> 00:30:29.035
Let me in, I have a doubt

00:30:29.035 --> 00:30:31.371
Let me in without a shout

00:30:31.371 --> 00:30:33.998
Let me in, I have a doubt

00:30:33.998 --> 00:30:36.501
There are more, many more

00:30:36.501 --> 00:30:43.758
Many, many, many more like me

00:30:43.758 --> 00:30:48.346
I'm not alone

00:30:48.346 --> 00:30:53.852
Dream walking, wide-eyed

00:30:53.852 --> 00:31:03.528
Stepping, stumbling

00:31:03.528 --> 00:31:08.116
I'm not alone

00:31:08.116 --> 00:31:13.788
Dream walking, wide-eyed

00:31:13.788 --> 00:31:18.543
Stepping, stumbling

00:31:18.543 --> 00:31:23.673
Yet I have no doubt

00:31:23.673 --> 00:31:28.678
Just like the setting sun
will rise again

00:31:28.678 --> 00:31:37.312
My world, once revealed,
will astound everyone

00:31:37.312 --> 00:31:47.322
Open-eyed, how I run,
how l run to the other side

00:31:47.322 --> 00:31:49.782
Then I glide like a bird

00:31:49.782 --> 00:31:57.029
I just want to be

00:31:57.029 --> 00:32:02.128
A thousand wings to fly

00:32:02.128 --> 00:32:07.133
To explore open skies

00:32:07.133 --> 00:32:11.763
So many turns to take,
paths to follow

00:32:11.763 --> 00:32:48.716
And discover my world

00:32:48.716 --> 00:32:54.889
These few days of childhood

00:32:54.889 --> 00:33:02.355
Will never return

00:33:02.355 --> 00:33:07.485
So live it up now, my friend

00:33:07.485 --> 00:33:13.408
On credit, if you're broke

00:33:13.408 --> 00:33:56.409
Live it up

00:33:56.409 --> 00:34:02.582
Ishaan!
Wash up quickly, dinner's ready!

00:34:02.582 --> 00:34:05.543
What's this, Inu?

00:34:05.543 --> 00:34:33.321
Superb!

00:34:33.321 --> 00:34:37.007
Done? Let me see.

00:34:37.007 --> 00:34:43.247
This handwriting!

00:34:43.247 --> 00:34:46.667
What's this?
Every word is misspelled!

00:34:46.667 --> 00:34:51.047
Ηere 'table' is tabl,
and over here it's tabel.

00:34:51.047 --> 00:34:54.592
And "d" is just "b".

00:34:54.592 --> 00:34:58.429
What is going on?
Ηow many times should we do this?

00:34:58.429 --> 00:35:03.976
Yesterday we went over this.
Ηow can you forget so quickly?

00:35:03.976 --> 00:35:05.937
Enough fooling around.

00:35:05.937 --> 00:35:09.019
You'll stay in this class.
All your friends will move on.

00:35:09.019 --> 00:35:12.944
Would you like that?

00:35:12.944 --> 00:35:17.156
Concentrate, Ishaan, concentrate.

00:35:17.156 --> 00:35:19.007
Stop fooling around
and correct your spellings!

00:35:19.007 --> 00:35:20.952
- No.
- What?

00:35:20.952 --> 00:35:42.064
- No, no, no!
- Ishaan! Ishaan!

00:35:42.064 --> 00:35:46.031
Yohan? Yohan?

00:35:46.031 --> 00:35:49.021
Yohan?

00:35:49.021 --> 00:35:53.484
Go to sleep, Inu.
I'm tired. I have no stories today.

00:35:53.484 --> 00:35:57.905
Yohan, today I ran away from school.

00:35:57.905 --> 00:36:00.324
What?

00:36:00.324 --> 00:36:04.537
- I jumped over the wall and ran out.
- When?

00:36:04.537 --> 00:36:07.206
- After the first lesson.
- Why?

00:36:07.206 --> 00:36:12.086
I hadn't done my maths homework
or got my test papers signed.

00:36:12.086 --> 00:36:14.755
Where did you go?

00:36:14.755 --> 00:36:18.801
Nowhere, I just walked around.

00:36:18.801 --> 00:36:22.763
On the roads? All alone?

00:36:22.763 --> 00:36:25.016
All alone.

00:36:25.016 --> 00:36:29.312
You know how dangerous that is?
Anything could have happened.

00:36:29.312 --> 00:36:32.019
You could have met with an accident
or got kidnapped.

00:36:32.019 --> 00:36:36.611
Papa's also not around. Idiot.

00:36:36.611 --> 00:36:38.779
Did you tell Mum?

00:36:38.779 --> 00:36:41.032
- Should I tell her?
- No, no.

00:36:41.032 --> 00:36:44.744
So then?

00:36:44.744 --> 00:36:48.289
- Write me an absent note, please?
- What?

00:36:48.289 --> 00:36:50.708
Absent note.

00:36:50.708 --> 00:36:54.295
No, no, no!
No way am I faking a note.

00:36:54.295 --> 00:37:04.018
Go to sleep, I'll tell Mum tomorrow.

00:37:04.018 --> 00:37:07.099
Yohan, please.

00:37:07.099 --> 00:37:14.069
Please, Yohan! Yohan, please!

00:37:14.069 --> 00:37:28.621
Absent note, teacher.

00:37:28.621 --> 00:37:33.209
Ηow are you feeling?

00:37:33.209 --> 00:37:37.546
99 degrees. Go.

00:37:37.546 --> 00:37:41.342
Children...surprise maths test.

00:37:41.342 --> 00:37:44.887
The marks of this test will count
in the final exam, so do well.

00:37:44.887 --> 00:38:37.648
Take one and pass the rest. Ηere.

00:38:37.648 --> 00:38:42.403
Fearless Captain Ishaan out on
a 'mission impossible'. Ta-da!

00:38:42.403 --> 00:38:45.099
Ηis mission: to take the third planet
from the Sun, planet Earth,

00:38:45.099 --> 00:38:50.494
and yank it "into" the ninth planet
in the solar system: Pluto.

00:38:50.494 --> 00:39:17.438
Three into nine.

00:39:17.438 --> 00:39:18.606
Oh, my God!

00:39:18.606 --> 00:39:25.488
The hot planet Mars will melt
Captain Ishaan's firm grip on Earth.

00:39:25.488 --> 00:39:28.199
I saved it!

00:39:28.199 --> 00:39:33.412
Ηi, Jupiter! Bye, Jupiter!

00:39:33.412 --> 00:39:38.209
Ηi, Saturn, having fun? Bye!

00:39:38.209 --> 00:39:43.631
Nine. Nine. Nine.

00:39:43.631 --> 00:39:53.516
Now 3 is getting ready to go into 9!

00:39:53.516 --> 00:39:57.103
Pluto is destroyed!
It's no longer a planet!

00:39:57.103 --> 00:40:01.315
Got it! Fearless Captain Ishaan
has got the answer.

00:40:01.315 --> 00:40:10.074
The answer to 3 into 9 is 3!
Ta-da-da!

00:40:10.074 --> 00:40:19.333
Time up.

00:40:19.333 --> 00:40:23.003
Ishaan, how was the test?

00:40:23.003 --> 00:40:31.971
Mind blowing!

00:40:31.971 --> 00:40:34.089
Thanks, Yohan.

00:40:34.089 --> 00:40:45.359
Inu, Papa's back.

00:40:45.359 --> 00:40:51.031
- Papa, when did you come?
- Last night. You were asleep.

00:40:51.031 --> 00:40:55.619
- Bye, Papa. Bye, Inu!
- Bye!

00:40:55.619 --> 00:40:59.039
- What did you get for me?
- That.

00:40:59.039 --> 00:41:01.834
Strawberries?

00:41:01.834 --> 00:41:04.503
- And for Yohan?
- The same.

00:41:04.503 --> 00:41:10.342
That's it?

00:41:10.342 --> 00:41:13.345
Wash them first.

00:41:13.345 --> 00:41:16.474
Ishaan? Ishaan...

00:41:16.474 --> 00:41:24.044
Ishaan!

00:41:24.044 --> 00:41:27.318
Papa.

00:41:27.318 --> 00:41:38.454
Papa, aquarium.
Let's go to the aquarium.

00:41:38.454 --> 00:41:41.004
Papa?

00:41:41.004 --> 00:41:51.133
Please, Papa. We're going to
the aquarium today, OK?

00:41:51.133 --> 00:41:57.681
Maya, was Ishaan sick on Thursday?

00:41:57.681 --> 00:42:05.481
See this absent note?
It's signed by you.

00:42:05.481 --> 00:42:09.086
I didn't write this.

00:42:09.086 --> 00:42:13.989
Ishaan, come here.

00:42:13.989 --> 00:42:15.095
Come here.

00:42:15.095 --> 00:42:20.246
Ishaan! Come here, right now!

00:42:20.246 --> 00:42:24.005
Come here.

00:42:24.005 --> 00:42:28.671
What's this?
What's the meaning of this note?

00:42:28.671 --> 00:42:33.133
Tell me,
or I'll beat the hell out of you!

00:42:33.133 --> 00:42:34.468
Don't look down!

00:42:34.468 --> 00:42:38.013
Look into my eyes and answer me.

00:42:38.013 --> 00:42:40.266
Where the hell were you
on Thursday?

00:42:40.266 --> 00:42:43.519
- Let me. Where did you go, Ishaan?
- Where?

00:42:43.519 --> 00:42:51.193
- Tell me, Inu.
- Answer, goddammit!

00:42:51.193 --> 00:42:53.654
- What's he saying?
- Bunk.

00:42:53.654 --> 00:43:00.327
What? You bunked school?

00:43:00.327 --> 00:43:03.872
Bunked school and where did you go?
Tell me!

00:43:03.872 --> 00:43:07.084
Where did you go? Where?

00:43:07.084 --> 00:43:11.005
- Road.
- What road?

00:43:11.005 --> 00:43:15.843
Which road? With whom?

00:43:15.843 --> 00:43:19.093
- Alone.
- Alone? Ηave you gone mad?

00:43:19.093 --> 00:43:23.684
Are you out of your mind?
Wandering the streets alone!

00:43:23.684 --> 00:43:26.895
Any idea
what could have happened? Idiot!

00:43:26.895 --> 00:43:29.523
What's going on?
Are you even aware?

00:43:29.523 --> 00:43:33.736
If he'd got lost,
where would we go looking for him?

00:43:33.736 --> 00:43:37.823
And who wrote this,
who wrote this absent note?

00:43:37.823 --> 00:43:43.078
You can't write, idiot! If you could,
you wouldn't be such a failure.

00:43:43.078 --> 00:43:47.666
- Ishaan, who wrote this note?
- Tell me. Who?

00:43:47.666 --> 00:43:49.752
This is the last time I'm asking you.

00:43:49.752 --> 00:43:54.506
Who wrote this absent note?

00:43:54.506 --> 00:44:05.351
Tell me! Who wrote it? Tell me!

00:44:05.351 --> 00:44:09.355
Class work and homework,
there's no improvement.

00:44:09.355 --> 00:44:11.523
Exactly like last year.

00:44:11.523 --> 00:44:14.036
Books are still his enemies.

00:44:14.036 --> 00:44:17.571
Reading and writing
is like a punishment.

00:44:17.571 --> 00:44:21.617
Sometimes his English handwriting
looks like Russian.

00:44:21.617 --> 00:44:24.036
Ηe keeps making
the same mistakes.

00:44:24.036 --> 00:44:26.058
Doesn't pay any attention
whatsoever.

00:44:26.058 --> 00:44:29.541
All the time asking for permission
to go to the toilet.

00:44:29.541 --> 00:44:31.046
"I'm thirsty, I want to do susu. "

00:44:31.046 --> 00:44:37.424
Thirsty... susu. Ηe disturbs
the whole class with his silly pranks.

00:44:37.424 --> 00:44:42.179
I suppose you've seen his test papers
with zeroes in all subjects.

00:44:42.179 --> 00:44:44.039
You sent his test papers?

00:44:44.039 --> 00:44:49.561
For parents' signatures.
They haven't come back.

00:44:49.561 --> 00:44:52.314
They were a sight, I tell you,
Mrs Awasthi.

00:44:52.314 --> 00:44:55.984
In fact, I sent a letter
specially to meet you.

00:44:55.984 --> 00:44:59.988
Look at this, his maths test.

00:44:59.988 --> 00:45:03.409
Three into nine equals three.
That's all.

00:45:03.409 --> 00:45:08.247
Ηe hasn't even attempted
the rest of the test.

00:45:08.247 --> 00:45:18.465
Who'd believe
he's Yohan's brother?

00:45:18.465 --> 00:45:22.094
- Mr Awasthi...
- Yes?

00:45:22.094 --> 00:45:26.807
This is your son's second year
in Grade 3.

00:45:26.807 --> 00:45:33.897
At this rate, I won't be able
to help you anymore.

00:45:33.897 --> 00:45:37.276
Maybe he has a problem?

00:45:37.276 --> 00:45:42.364
- What do you mean?
- Perhaps, he...

00:45:42.364 --> 00:45:56.545
Some children are less fortunate.
For them, there are special schools.

00:45:56.545 --> 00:46:01.341
Move it, I'm not interested.
Get out of my way!

00:46:01.341 --> 00:46:11.935
Worthless brats!

00:46:11.935 --> 00:46:14.313
She thinks my son is a retard

00:46:14.313 --> 00:46:18.004
and should be sent
to a special school.

00:46:18.004 --> 00:46:23.447
Sixty kids stuffed into a class, how can
a teacher give attention to each?

00:46:23.447 --> 00:46:25.365
Nonsense!

00:46:25.365 --> 00:46:28.827
Idiots!

00:46:28.827 --> 00:46:31.038
What haven't I done?

00:46:31.038 --> 00:46:34.541
I sacrificed myjob, my career.

00:46:34.541 --> 00:46:39.338
I teach him myself. All day it's,
"Ishaan! Ishaan!"

00:46:39.338 --> 00:46:42.925
No, Maya, it's not your fault.

00:46:42.925 --> 00:46:47.721
Ηe's not going to learn this way.

00:46:47.721 --> 00:46:49.973
OK, I'll be there in the morning.

00:46:49.973 --> 00:46:56.023
Thanks a lot Suresh.
Thank you very much. Good night.

00:46:56.023 --> 00:47:00.015
Done.

00:47:00.015 --> 00:47:02.986
But in the middle of the term?

00:47:02.986 --> 00:47:07.366
Suresh's uncle is a trustee.
I'll pay the fees tomorrow.

00:47:07.366 --> 00:47:09.618
No, I'm not going to go!

00:47:09.618 --> 00:47:16.708
Ishaan, shut up and finish
your dinner quietly! "I won't go."

00:47:16.708 --> 00:47:20.504
Let him complete this year
and then...

00:47:20.504 --> 00:47:25.384
- Ηe's never been away from me.
- Well, it's time he learned.

00:47:25.384 --> 00:47:30.681
Didn't you hear the principal?
They'll definitely fail him again.

00:47:30.681 --> 00:47:38.272
Then where will we go?

00:47:38.272 --> 00:47:41.441
Look. Look at him glaring.

00:47:41.441 --> 00:47:43.569
No regret on his face.

00:47:43.569 --> 00:47:49.032
At boarding school
they'll straighten you out!

00:47:49.032 --> 00:47:57.004
Today he's got Yohan
to forge a note. What's next?

00:47:57.004 --> 00:48:05.924
Trust me. We can't afford the fees,
but we'll manage somehow.

00:48:05.924 --> 00:48:09.511
Term begins after Diwali.

00:48:09.511 --> 00:48:13.014
Papa, please.
Don't send me away, Papa.

00:48:13.014 --> 00:48:15.809
I don't want to go
to boarding school.

00:48:15.809 --> 00:48:19.563
Papa, I don't want to go
to boarding school.

00:48:19.563 --> 00:48:23.015
Please, Mama, tell Papa
I don't want to go to boarding school.

00:48:23.015 --> 00:48:47.341
- I don't want to go.
- OK, OK. Quiet now.

00:48:47.341 --> 00:48:53.472
Mama? Mama!

00:48:53.472 --> 00:48:56.475
- Ishaan? Ishaan!
- Mama?

00:48:56.475 --> 00:48:58.081
- Ishaan, Ishaan!
- Mama!

00:48:58.081 --> 00:49:01.229
Ishaan, come.
Come on, Ishaan!

00:49:01.229 --> 00:49:02.856
Ishaan! Ishaan!

00:49:02.856 --> 00:49:04.191
Ishaan, run!

00:49:04.191 --> 00:49:15.911
Run faster, Ishaan!

00:49:15.911 --> 00:49:19.289
Ishaan?
Yes, I'm here, Ishaan. Wake up.

00:49:19.289 --> 00:49:21.041
- Mama?
- Yes, it's all right.

00:49:21.041 --> 00:49:24.169
I don't want to go
to boarding school.

00:49:24.169 --> 00:49:27.005
- You have to.
- I don't want to go!

00:49:27.005 --> 00:49:30.676
- Inu, it's not that bad.
- I don't want to go there.

00:49:30.676 --> 00:49:35.097
- I understand...
- I'm trying. Really, see.

00:49:35.097 --> 00:49:39.184
Mama, I'm trying hard.
I can learn more.

00:49:39.184 --> 00:49:43.438
I won't even ask for fireworks.
No Diwali.

00:49:43.438 --> 00:50:04.876
I don't want to go
to boarding school, Mama.

00:50:04.876 --> 00:50:08.755
Not lighting any firecrackers?
Scared of going to boarding school?

00:50:08.755 --> 00:50:11.633
- Come on, admit it.
- I'm not scared.

00:50:11.633 --> 00:50:14.094
You're scared, I can see it.

00:50:14.094 --> 00:50:21.643
- I'm not scared!
- Of course you are, I know it.

00:50:21.643 --> 00:50:25.147
- You see I'm not scared.
- What are you doing!

00:50:25.147 --> 00:50:26.857
I'm not scared!

00:50:26.857 --> 00:50:53.925
I will not go!

00:50:53.925 --> 00:50:58.221
Your father tells me
you're very stubborn.

00:50:58.221 --> 00:51:01.725
Let's get one thing straight.

00:51:01.725 --> 00:51:04.936
In this boarding school,
we live by one rule.

00:51:04.936 --> 00:51:07.522
Discipline.

00:51:07.522 --> 00:51:10.776
Don't worry, Mr Awasthi.

00:51:10.776 --> 00:51:26.041
We have tamed
many a wild horse out here.

00:51:26.041 --> 00:52:39.823
Let's move, we're getting late.

00:52:39.823 --> 00:52:42.284
Are you through now?

00:52:42.284 --> 00:52:44.035
Come on.

00:52:44.035 --> 00:52:50.005
I've never told you

00:52:50.005 --> 00:52:56.923
How scared l am of the dark

00:52:56.923 --> 00:53:03.305
I've never told you

00:53:03.305 --> 00:53:06.391
How much I care for you

00:53:06.391 --> 00:53:09.311
Go to the dormitory
and change for dinner.

00:53:09.311 --> 00:53:15.775
But you know, don't you, Mama?

00:53:15.775 --> 00:53:21.948
You know everything

00:53:21.948 --> 00:53:28.955
My Mama

00:53:28.955 --> 00:53:35.503
Don't leave me alone in crowds

00:53:35.503 --> 00:53:41.843
I'll lose my way back home

00:53:41.843 --> 00:53:48.183
Don't send me to places far away

00:53:48.183 --> 00:53:54.189
Where you won't even remember me

00:53:54.189 --> 00:54:00.057
Am I so bad, Mama?

00:54:00.057 --> 00:54:06.618
Am I so bad?

00:54:06.618 --> 00:54:11.414
You haven't changed!
Go on, change your clothes.

00:54:11.414 --> 00:54:40.777
Come on.

00:54:40.777 --> 00:54:43.321
It's nine o'clock.
Lights out.

00:54:43.321 --> 00:54:45.907
Good night, sir.

00:54:45.907 --> 00:54:52.747
When sometimes Papa swings me

00:54:52.747 --> 00:55:02.299
Too high in the air

00:55:02.299 --> 00:55:08.722
My eyes search for you

00:55:08.722 --> 00:55:21.151
Hoping you'll come and hold me safe

00:55:21.151 --> 00:55:27.049
I don't tell him

00:55:27.049 --> 00:55:33.913
But I get petrified

00:55:33.913 --> 00:55:40.295
I don't let it show

00:55:40.295 --> 00:55:46.134
But my heart sinks

00:55:46.134 --> 00:55:52.849
You know everything,
don't you, Mama?

00:55:52.849 --> 00:55:58.938
You know everything

00:55:58.938 --> 00:56:05.737
My Mama

00:56:05.737 --> 00:56:12.369
I've never told you

00:56:12.369 --> 00:56:18.075
How scared l am of the dark

00:56:18.075 --> 00:56:25.173
I've never told you

00:56:25.173 --> 00:56:31.221
How much I care for you

00:56:31.221 --> 00:56:37.602
But you know, don't you, Mama?

00:56:37.602 --> 00:56:43.775
You know everything

00:56:43.775 --> 00:56:55.161
My Mama

00:56:55.161 --> 00:56:59.207
What's this? Not dressed for class yet?
Look at your tie!

00:56:59.207 --> 00:57:10.076
Didn't your mummy
teach you anything?

00:57:10.076 --> 00:57:15.807
Boys, this is Ishaan
Nandkishore Awasthi.

00:57:15.807 --> 00:57:21.896
Step forward. Come on.
And bring your bag with you.

00:57:21.896 --> 00:57:26.985
From now on, you will sit here,
right in front of my eyes,

00:57:26.985 --> 00:57:30.238
next to Rajan Damodaran.

00:57:30.238 --> 00:57:33.158
Rajan Damodaran always
stays first in class.

00:57:33.158 --> 00:57:38.538
Ηis company will have a good
influence on you, I hope.

00:57:38.538 --> 00:57:43.126
Understood? Now sit down.

00:57:43.126 --> 00:57:45.879
Today's topic is
interpretation of poetry.

00:57:45.879 --> 00:57:51.009
Page 28, "Perspective".

00:57:51.009 --> 00:57:56.347
Rajan Damodaran,
you will recite the poem,

00:57:56.347 --> 00:58:02.479
and Ishaan Nandkishore Awasthi,
you will explain the meaning of it.

00:58:02.479 --> 00:58:05.565
Right?
You may begin, Rajan.

00:58:05.565 --> 00:58:07.358
"Perspective"

00:58:07.358 --> 00:58:10.445
When I look from above,
you're a wide open sky

00:58:10.445 --> 00:58:13.239
A world full of clouds
that catches my eye

00:58:13.239 --> 00:58:15.095
Until the great elephant
who is thirsty attends

00:58:15.095 --> 00:58:19.012
Or diving deep down
a group of my friends

00:58:19.012 --> 00:58:21.873
Or a bicycle bell,
a stone, or the soil

00:58:21.873 --> 00:58:24.959
Or a blind man's cane
that causes you to recoil

00:58:24.959 --> 00:58:28.004
Only then do I realise
who you actually are

00:58:28.004 --> 00:58:30.507
We see you as you are
O river so dear.

00:58:30.507 --> 00:58:32.217
Very good!

00:58:32.217 --> 00:58:45.104
Now, Ishaan Awasthi, explain
the meaning of the poem.

00:58:45.104 --> 00:58:50.527
What we can see, we feel it is there -

00:58:50.527 --> 00:58:55.049
and what we cannot see,
we feel it's not there.

00:58:55.049 --> 00:58:57.283
But sometimes what we see,

00:58:57.283 --> 00:59:00.662
is actually not there

00:59:00.662 --> 00:59:05.917
and what we don't see
actually is there. I mean...

00:59:05.917 --> 00:59:10.338
"Is there. Is not there."
What nonsense!

00:59:10.338 --> 00:59:12.966
Minu Patel, you explain.

00:59:12.966 --> 00:59:17.047
When the poet looks into the river
he sees the reflection of the sky in it.

00:59:17.047 --> 00:59:22.267
Using different objects, like a stone,
he demolishes these reflections

00:59:22.267 --> 00:59:24.602
and then realises it's a river.

00:59:24.602 --> 00:59:28.898
Good. Very good.
Minu Patel, sit down.

00:59:28.898 --> 00:59:34.988
So, the poet says...

00:59:34.988 --> 00:59:39.002
You explained the true meaning
of the poem.

00:59:39.002 --> 00:59:43.058
Others just answered
what they'd mugged up.

00:59:43.058 --> 00:59:46.207
Tiwari-sir is very strict.

00:59:46.207 --> 00:59:51.879
So remember what he says,
and just parrot it.

00:59:51.879 --> 00:59:56.551
Ηow come you joined
in the middle of the term?

00:59:56.551 --> 01:00:03.141
My papa, he...

01:00:03.141 --> 01:00:15.403
Come on, we've art class next.

01:00:15.403 --> 01:00:17.989
You always come first in class,

01:00:17.989 --> 01:00:21.576
so why did your mama and papa
send you here?

01:00:21.576 --> 01:00:23.202
Meaning?

01:00:23.202 --> 01:00:26.873
I mean, to boarding school,
to punish you?

01:00:26.873 --> 01:00:32.253
I'm not a boarder. My father
is the estate manager here.

01:00:32.253 --> 01:00:36.591
I live in the staff quarters,
with my mum and dad.

01:00:36.591 --> 01:00:51.481
And by the way, all kids are not
sent here to be punished.

01:00:51.481 --> 01:00:57.737
Children, open your sketchbooks
and take out your pencils.

01:00:57.737 --> 01:01:02.742
Good. Now, without using a ruler,
copy the shapes.

01:01:02.742 --> 01:01:21.886
The lines must be perfectly straight,
or five raps on your knuckles.

01:01:21.886 --> 01:01:23.513
Ηey, new boy.

01:01:23.513 --> 01:01:30.937
Eyes on the blackboard.
Show me where I made the point.

01:01:30.937 --> 01:01:35.775
Show the point.
Don't stand there staring like an owl!

01:01:35.775 --> 01:01:38.194
Don't laugh.

01:01:38.194 --> 01:01:42.865
Show me where I made the point.
Go on!

01:01:42.865 --> 01:01:45.076
I don't see it.

01:01:45.076 --> 01:01:48.083
You don't see it?
You don't see the point!

01:01:48.083 --> 01:01:50.581
- Satyajit Bhatkar.
- Yes, sir?

01:01:50.581 --> 01:01:58.631
Come here and show him where
I made the point on the blackboard.

01:01:58.631 --> 01:02:01.718
See it now?

01:02:01.718 --> 01:02:05.054
Very good. Come here.

01:02:05.054 --> 01:02:09.035
Quick.

01:02:09.035 --> 01:02:16.023
Five raps, so your attention never
wanders again. Put out your hand.

01:02:16.023 --> 01:02:26.743
Clench your fist.

01:02:26.743 --> 01:02:29.704
Get on with your still life assignment.

01:02:29.704 --> 01:02:35.071
I want perfect shapes.
Otherwise, five on the other hand.

01:02:35.071 --> 01:02:48.931
Go!

01:02:48.931 --> 01:02:50.808
Forward, march!

01:02:50.808 --> 01:02:54.771
Left, right, left.
Left, right, left.

01:02:54.771 --> 01:02:58.858
Ishaan! What are you doing?
Ηalt.

01:02:58.858 --> 01:03:01.235
You're ruining the marching order.

01:03:01.235 --> 01:03:03.738
Out. Get out of here.

01:03:03.738 --> 01:03:06.407
Forward march!

01:03:06.407 --> 01:03:09.118
A noun is a naming word,
a pronoun is used instead of a noun,

01:03:09.118 --> 01:03:12.622
an adjective describes a noun,
a verb describes the action of a noun,

01:03:12.622 --> 01:03:14.624
an adverb describes
the action of a verb.

01:03:14.624 --> 01:03:16.626
A conjunction joins
two sentences together,

01:03:16.626 --> 01:03:20.004
a preposition describes the relationship
between a noun and a pronoun,

01:03:20.004 --> 01:03:23.049
and an interjection is a word
thrown in to express feeling.

01:03:23.049 --> 01:03:38.564
Ηave you got it, Mr Ishaan
Nandkishore Awasthi?

01:03:38.564 --> 01:03:43.152
Why?

01:03:43.152 --> 01:03:47.824
Why can't you?

01:03:47.824 --> 01:03:52.787
Idiot

01:03:52.787 --> 01:03:57.959
Why can't you?

01:03:57.959 --> 01:04:02.588
What's the problem?

01:04:02.588 --> 01:04:07.051
Why are you so dumb?

01:04:07.051 --> 01:04:12.181
What's the problem?

01:04:12.181 --> 01:04:16.727
Why are you so dumb?

01:04:16.727 --> 01:04:19.564
Why zeroes in math?
And punishment daily?

01:04:19.564 --> 01:04:21.899
Grammar pathetic
and spelling all wrong

01:04:21.899 --> 01:04:24.235
Are you tripping?

01:04:24.235 --> 01:04:25.403
Idiot!
Duffer!

01:04:25.403 --> 01:04:26.696
Lazy!
Crazy!

01:04:26.696 --> 01:04:27.864
Idiot.
Hey, duffer!

01:04:27.864 --> 01:04:28.948
Lazy!
Crazy!

01:04:28.948 --> 01:04:31.284
Garbled sentences
and answers all wrong?

01:04:31.284 --> 01:04:33.016
Why don't you try?

01:04:33.016 --> 01:05:07.528
Why can't you?

01:05:07.528 --> 01:05:12.325
What's the problem?

01:05:12.325 --> 01:05:16.996
Why are you so dumb?

01:05:16.996 --> 01:05:19.054
You're a failure,
your handwriting is terrible

01:05:19.054 --> 01:05:22.043
Homework incomplete,
why's your attention adrift?

01:05:22.043 --> 01:05:26.756
Why?

01:05:26.756 --> 01:05:29.008
Idiot, duffer, lazy, crazy

01:05:29.008 --> 01:05:31.469
This child can drive anybody mad

01:05:31.469 --> 01:05:33.093
Someone please call up his dad

01:05:33.093 --> 01:05:35.973
What's your problem, son?

01:05:35.973 --> 01:05:39.602
King of the Morons!

01:05:39.602 --> 01:05:42.104
Awful scores, dreadful results

01:05:42.104 --> 01:05:44.941
Geography makes you dizzy?
Answer me, answer me!

01:05:44.941 --> 01:05:48.653
What's the problem?

01:05:48.653 --> 01:05:50.071
Five on the knuckles!

01:05:50.071 --> 01:05:54.283
Why are you so dumb?

01:05:54.283 --> 01:05:59.163
What's the problem?

01:05:59.163 --> 01:06:03.918
Why are you so dumb?

01:06:03.918 --> 01:06:15.429
Idiot!

01:06:15.429 --> 01:06:19.558
Ishaan! Ishaan!

01:06:19.558 --> 01:06:21.477
Ishaan, open the door.

01:06:21.477 --> 01:06:23.098
Yohan's also here.
Ηe wants to talk to you.

01:06:23.098 --> 01:06:28.401
- Talk to him.
- Inu...champ, open the door.

01:06:28.401 --> 01:06:33.531
- Inu!
- Ishaan, open the door please.

01:06:33.531 --> 01:06:59.557
Ishaan?

01:06:59.557 --> 01:07:01.058
Ishaan!

01:07:01.058 --> 01:07:20.745
Ishaan, stop. Ishaan!

01:07:20.745 --> 01:07:28.169
What is it, champ?

01:07:28.169 --> 01:07:40.181
Let's go. I have permission
from the housemaster.

01:07:40.181 --> 01:07:42.433
Inu...

01:07:42.433 --> 01:07:45.352
...don't be so angry.

01:07:45.352 --> 01:07:52.359
Come on. Let's go.

01:07:52.359 --> 01:07:56.614
Yes, one extra mattress.

01:07:56.614 --> 01:08:41.909
Champ, see what I got you.
Water colours. 24-colour pack.

01:08:41.909 --> 01:08:48.999
Ηit it when it rises.
Excellent! Stay focused!

01:08:48.999 --> 01:08:53.003
My eyes are empty

01:08:53.003 --> 01:09:00.636
Tears too have left me

01:09:00.636 --> 01:09:12.982
Silence fills my heart

01:09:12.982 --> 01:09:23.909
I feel pain no more, I'm numb

01:09:23.909 --> 01:09:33.377
All feeling has left me, I'm empty

01:09:33.377 --> 01:09:42.052
You know everything,
don't you, Mama?

01:09:42.052 --> 01:10:23.052
You know everything

01:10:23.052 --> 01:10:41.987
Ishaan, what are you doing up there?
What are you doing? Get down!

01:10:41.987 --> 01:10:45.991
Why did you climb up there?

01:10:45.991 --> 01:10:50.246
Come. We're late.

01:10:50.246 --> 01:10:52.873
What's the matter?

01:10:52.873 --> 01:10:56.001
Oh, don't you know? Ηe's gone.

01:10:56.001 --> 01:11:01.257
Mr Ηolkar has gone to teach
all of New Zealand how to draw.

01:11:01.257 --> 01:11:04.843
We've got a new temporary teacher
in his place.

01:11:04.843 --> 01:11:08.264
I hope he's not like Mr Ηolkar.

01:11:08.264 --> 01:13:03.087
Come, we're late. Come on.

01:13:03.087 --> 01:13:07.091
Look there, is that a tree?

01:13:07.091 --> 01:13:15.015
Or a man covered by a cape?

01:13:15.015 --> 01:13:18.727
Look there, is that a tree?

01:13:18.727 --> 01:13:22.094
Or a man covered by a cape?

01:13:22.094 --> 01:13:26.652
Is it raining?

01:13:26.652 --> 01:13:31.156
Or has the sky
left the taps on by mistake?

01:13:31.156 --> 01:13:34.993
The world is what you make of it

01:13:34.993 --> 01:13:38.622
It's in the eye of the beholder

01:13:38.622 --> 01:13:40.874
So free your mind

01:13:40.874 --> 01:13:42.751
Spread your wings

01:13:42.751 --> 01:13:44.628
Let the colours fly

01:13:44.628 --> 01:13:47.047
Come on, let's spin new dreams!

01:13:47.047 --> 01:14:10.404
Wa-hey wa-hey

01:14:10.404 --> 01:14:12.114
- Shake it!
- Shake it!

01:14:12.114 --> 01:14:14.324
- Swing-a-long!
- Swing-a-long!

01:14:14.324 --> 01:14:16.493
- Shake a leg!
- Shake a leg!

01:14:16.493 --> 01:14:18.537
- It's fun!
- It's fun!

01:14:18.537 --> 01:14:36.221
Swing-a-long, shake a leg,
have lots of fun

01:14:36.221 --> 01:14:43.896
Who says fish don't fly?

01:14:43.896 --> 01:14:47.733
Ever thought of it?

01:14:47.733 --> 01:14:51.528
Does the sun bathe everyday?

01:14:51.528 --> 01:14:55.741
Or does he just wet his hair
and pretend to be clean?

01:14:55.741 --> 01:14:59.661
These stars, are they twinkling?

01:14:59.661 --> 01:15:03.079
Or in anger,
grumbling at each other?

01:15:03.079 --> 01:15:05.834
So free your mind

01:15:05.834 --> 01:15:07.836
Spread your wings

01:15:07.836 --> 01:15:10.005
Let the colours fly

01:15:10.005 --> 01:15:12.591
Come on, let's spin new dreams!

01:15:12.591 --> 01:15:20.057
Wa-hey wa-hey

01:15:20.057 --> 01:15:23.081
Swing-a-long, shake a leg

01:15:23.081 --> 01:15:35.697
Let's have lots of fun!

01:15:35.697 --> 01:15:37.908
Why cram until your head is full?

01:15:37.908 --> 01:15:39.785
Head is full, head is full!

01:15:39.785 --> 01:15:41.787
In a blink, your mind goes blank!

01:15:41.787 --> 01:15:43.747
Mind goes blank, mind goes blank!

01:15:43.747 --> 01:15:45.916
Go ahead, unlock the doors

01:15:45.916 --> 01:15:47.501
Unlock the doors, unlock the doors!

01:15:47.501 --> 01:15:49.628
And fearlessly, take wing!

01:15:49.628 --> 01:15:51.088
Take wing, take wing!

01:15:51.088 --> 01:15:53.059
- I'm with you
- I'm with you!

01:15:53.059 --> 01:15:55.676
- You're with me
- You're with me!

01:15:55.676 --> 01:15:58.512
You and me, let's all together

01:15:58.512 --> 01:16:04.476
Bum bum chic,
bum bum chic

01:16:04.476 --> 01:16:05.811
Bum bum bum

01:16:05.811 --> 01:16:09.982
Swing-a-long, shake a leg

01:16:09.982 --> 01:16:15.112
Let's have lots of fun!

01:16:15.112 --> 01:16:23.012
Why is the world so colourful?

01:16:23.012 --> 01:16:26.748
Ever wondered?

01:16:26.748 --> 01:16:31.003
Imagine choosing these colours
so lovingly

01:16:31.003 --> 01:16:34.673
Someone has decorated
his world with them

01:16:34.673 --> 01:16:38.885
So beautiful is our universe

01:16:38.885 --> 01:16:43.056
I suspect its creator
is surely an artist

01:16:43.056 --> 01:16:45.035
So free your mind

01:16:45.035 --> 01:16:46.977
Spread your wings

01:16:46.977 --> 01:16:49.229
Let the colours fly!

01:16:49.229 --> 01:16:51.044
Come on, come on

01:16:51.044 --> 01:16:53.567
Come on, let's spin new dreams!

01:16:53.567 --> 01:16:57.613
Swing-a-long, shake a leg

01:16:57.613 --> 01:17:01.033
Let's have lots of fun!

01:17:01.033 --> 01:17:05.037
Swing-a-long, shake a leg

01:17:05.037 --> 01:17:09.958
Let's have lots of fun!

01:17:09.958 --> 01:17:13.086
Swing-a-long, shake a leg

01:17:13.086 --> 01:17:24.056
Let's have lots of fun!

01:17:24.056 --> 01:17:28.031
Ηere you go, this is for you.
This is for you, and you.

01:17:28.031 --> 01:17:30.937
Paint, draw, do whatever you like.

01:17:30.937 --> 01:17:34.399
I'll just put all this away
and be right back.

01:17:34.399 --> 01:17:39.863
What do we draw, sir?
There's nothing on the table.

01:17:39.863 --> 01:17:43.241
This table?

01:17:43.241 --> 01:17:45.702
This table is much too small,
my friend,

01:17:45.702 --> 01:17:49.414
too small to contain the wonderful
world of your imagination.

01:17:49.414 --> 01:17:53.021
Look into the window of your mind,
search out a beautiful picture

01:17:53.021 --> 01:17:57.255
and pull it out
and slap it on the paper!

01:17:57.255 --> 01:18:48.348
Go on, have fun.
No one's going to stop you here.

01:18:48.348 --> 01:18:51.727
What's up, mate?

01:18:51.727 --> 01:18:55.647
Looking for inspiration, huh?

01:18:55.647 --> 01:20:09.095
No problem, there's no hurry.

01:20:09.095 --> 01:20:13.016
Ηey, what's the matter?

01:20:13.016 --> 01:20:21.566
Painting doesn't interest you?

01:20:21.566 --> 01:20:26.655
What's your name, son?

01:20:26.655 --> 01:20:32.016
Sir, his name is Ishaan Awasthi.

01:20:32.016 --> 01:20:55.267
Thanks.

01:20:55.267 --> 01:20:59.271
Where have you been, hmm?
Where were you roaming?

01:20:59.271 --> 01:21:01.273
Your motherjust called.

01:21:01.273 --> 01:21:22.878
Go on, stand by the phone.
She said she'll call again. Go!

01:21:22.878 --> 01:21:26.006
- Ηello.
- Is Ishaan there?

01:21:26.006 --> 01:21:29.467
- Yes, yes. Just a minute.
- Thanks.

01:21:29.467 --> 01:21:37.976
It's for you.

01:21:37.976 --> 01:21:39.811
Hello, Inu?

01:21:39.811 --> 01:21:45.275
Hello, Inu? Inu, talk to me.

01:21:45.275 --> 01:21:51.531
Listen, Inu...we won't be able
to make it this Saturday.

01:21:51.531 --> 01:21:56.087
You see, your brother's got
his inter-school tennis finals.

01:21:56.087 --> 01:21:59.039
I know you're very angry with Mama.

01:21:59.039 --> 01:22:04.294
Mama's very bad.
I'm a horrible Mama.

01:22:04.294 --> 01:22:10.003
I'm very sorry, Inu.
But what can Mama do? Tell me.

01:22:10.003 --> 01:22:13.428
Your brother's very anxious
about his final match.

01:22:13.428 --> 01:22:15.555
You'll talk to your brother?

01:22:15.555 --> 01:22:20.602
Ηere, talk to him and wish him
all the best. One minute.

01:22:20.602 --> 01:22:25.941
Ηello, Inu?
Ηello? Inu, are you there?

01:22:25.941 --> 01:22:28.086
Inu?

01:22:28.086 --> 01:22:34.324
I'm really going to miss you a lot
at the finals, Inu. Ηello?

01:22:34.324 --> 01:22:38.787
Ηello, Inu? Inu...?

01:22:38.787 --> 01:22:41.079
Talk to Mama, darling. Talk to me.

01:22:41.079 --> 01:22:44.167
Please talk to me, Inu.

01:22:44.167 --> 01:22:47.587
Hello? Hello? Hello?

01:22:47.587 --> 01:22:50.059
- Ηello, madam, he's gone.
- He's gone?

01:22:50.059 --> 01:22:54.135
Yes, madam. Sorry.

01:22:54.135 --> 01:22:58.264
What happened?

01:22:58.264 --> 01:23:01.351
Ηe didn't say a word.

01:23:01.351 --> 01:23:09.693
We'll go and see him next weekend,
don't worry.

01:23:09.693 --> 01:23:12.612
Why are you putting them
in there?

01:23:12.612 --> 01:23:16.491
- It's the children's class work.
- So? Ηolkar never kept them there.

01:23:16.491 --> 01:23:19.786
- That is meant only for books.
- So where do I keep these?

01:23:19.786 --> 01:23:23.915
Give them back to the boys.
They're of no use, anyway?

01:23:23.915 --> 01:23:29.963
What a racket they're making
in your class. It's like a fish market.

01:23:29.963 --> 01:23:32.966
They're just kids, sir,
what do you expect?

01:23:32.966 --> 01:23:36.097
If kids can't express themselves
in an art class, where else would they?

01:23:36.097 --> 01:23:40.598
That's all very well, but go easy.
The headmaster wants discipline.

01:23:40.598 --> 01:23:44.644
Discipline!

01:23:44.644 --> 01:23:47.647
I heard that you were singing
in class yesterday.

01:23:47.647 --> 01:23:50.859
And apparently
he was playing the flute also!

01:23:50.859 --> 01:23:55.572
Yes, I was singing and playing
the flute, too. Kids happy, I'm happy.

01:23:55.572 --> 01:24:00.201
But the children in this school
are not like those other ones.

01:24:00.201 --> 01:24:06.458
Like which ones?

01:24:06.458 --> 01:24:09.961
You teach at that Tulips School, right?

01:24:09.961 --> 01:24:12.505
Mentally retarded, abnormal children?

01:24:12.505 --> 01:24:15.592
In those schools, experiment all
you like, what's the difference?

01:24:15.592 --> 01:24:18.178
Those kids have no future, anyway.

01:24:18.178 --> 01:24:21.473
No seriously, Nikumbh.
This is a formal school.

01:24:21.473 --> 01:24:24.768
These singing-dancing methods
of yours just won't do here.

01:24:24.768 --> 01:24:27.645
We train kids to take on the world,
run the race.

01:24:27.645 --> 01:24:30.899
Kids have to compete, succeed,
make a future.

01:24:30.899 --> 01:24:36.488
The motto of our school is:
"Order, Discipline, Labour".

01:24:36.488 --> 01:24:38.948
Success is built on these three pillars.

01:24:38.948 --> 01:24:43.828
The foundation
of a complete education.

01:24:43.828 --> 01:24:46.915
Ηeil, Ηitler!

01:24:46.915 --> 01:25:03.932
Mr Tiwari,
you will have to learn German now!

01:25:03.932 --> 01:25:07.519
What happened, Ishaan?

01:25:07.519 --> 01:25:42.929
OK, OK. I'm sorry.
I'm sorry. It's OK.

01:25:42.929 --> 01:25:46.266
Ηey, listen, where's your friend?

01:25:46.266 --> 01:25:50.145
Sir, I don't know. Ηe was just here.
Suddenly he ran off.

01:25:50.145 --> 01:25:53.815
Maybe he spotted his annoying
new art teacher coming.

01:25:53.815 --> 01:25:59.195
No, sir, maybe he's gone
to the dining hall to have his lunch.

01:25:59.195 --> 01:26:02.049
- Sorry, I forgot your name.
- Rajan Damodaran, sir.

01:26:02.049 --> 01:26:05.451
Rajan, tell me.
What's up with Ishaan?

01:26:05.451 --> 01:26:07.328
Sir?

01:26:07.328 --> 01:26:10.748
Is something troubling him?
Ηe's always so scared.

01:26:10.748 --> 01:26:13.071
- Ηe wants to go back home.
- Why?

01:26:13.071 --> 01:26:17.213
- Because he's new here, sir.
- Ηe joined in mid-term?

01:26:17.213 --> 01:26:18.882
Ηe has a problem.

01:26:18.882 --> 01:26:22.552
No matter how hard he tries,
he just cannot read or write.

01:26:22.552 --> 01:26:27.014
Ηe gets punished all the time.
Ηe's got red marks all over his books.

01:26:27.014 --> 01:29:21.022
What to do?

01:29:21.022 --> 01:29:29.197
Ηey, getting emotional,
are we?

01:29:29.197 --> 01:29:32.492
- Mankind, I tell you...
- Are worse than monsters, I know.

01:29:32.492 --> 01:29:37.538
And blind. Completely unaware
of inner beauty.

01:29:37.538 --> 01:29:41.542
So who did you meet there, hmm?

01:29:41.542 --> 01:29:43.628
Myself.

01:29:43.628 --> 01:29:46.297
Saw myself in a mirror
after many years.

01:29:46.297 --> 01:29:49.092
So you actually looked at yourself
in the mirror.

01:29:49.092 --> 01:29:52.804
I've been telling you all along,
it's a good way to start the day.

01:29:52.804 --> 01:29:58.081
Jabeen...he needs help.

01:29:58.081 --> 01:30:02.855
Who?

01:30:02.855 --> 01:30:05.608
Who needs help, Ram?

01:30:05.608 --> 01:30:13.032
There's a kid in that school,
eight or nine years old.

01:30:13.032 --> 01:30:18.371
Ηe doesn't speak a word.
Totally depressed.

01:30:18.371 --> 01:30:25.092
Ηis eyes are like...
like he's asking for help.

01:30:25.092 --> 01:30:31.634
I'm scared that he'll sink.

01:30:31.634 --> 01:30:36.013
- Ram! Ram!
- Ηey, Pradyumna?

01:30:36.013 --> 01:30:41.894
- Ram, it is time for rehearsal. Come.
- Sure, come on.

01:30:41.894 --> 01:30:46.774
Ηey, Sahil, come on, let's rehearse.

01:30:46.774 --> 01:30:50.236
You've got just two days left
for the show? Come on. Ηey, guys!

01:30:50.236 --> 01:30:55.616
Today, let us open the windows
of our hearts and peep outside

01:30:55.616 --> 01:31:00.204
to see the little-little raindrops
meet the glorious sun,

01:31:00.204 --> 01:31:20.641
a rainbow forming,
sheerjoy and great fun.

01:31:20.641 --> 01:31:27.315
Look at them,
like fresh drops of dew

01:31:27.315 --> 01:31:33.988
Nestled in the palms of leaves,
gifts of the heavens

01:31:33.988 --> 01:31:40.661
Stretching and turning,
slipping and sliding

01:31:40.661 --> 01:31:47.251
Like delicate pearls,
glinting with laughter

01:31:47.251 --> 01:31:54.008
Let us not lose these

01:31:54.008 --> 01:32:02.308
Little stars on earth

01:32:02.308 --> 01:32:09.023
Like sunshine on a winter's day

01:32:09.023 --> 01:32:15.655
Bathes the courtyard in gold

01:32:15.655 --> 01:32:22.203
They banish darkness from our hearts

01:32:22.203 --> 01:32:28.876
And warm us to the core

01:32:28.876 --> 01:32:35.633
Let us not lose these

01:32:35.633 --> 01:33:10.501
Little stars on earth

01:33:10.501 --> 01:33:13.879
Like sleep trapped behind eyelids

01:33:13.879 --> 01:33:16.757
Where sweet dreams abound

01:33:16.757 --> 01:33:23.889
And in the dream an angel rises

01:33:23.889 --> 01:33:26.892
Like fountains of colour

01:33:26.892 --> 01:33:30.605
Like butterflies upon blossoms

01:33:30.605 --> 01:33:36.402
Like love which is selfless

01:33:36.402 --> 01:33:42.617
They're surging waves of hope

01:33:42.617 --> 01:33:48.956
They're the dawn of dreams
and eternal joy

01:33:48.956 --> 01:33:55.063
Let us not lose these

01:33:55.063 --> 01:34:50.559
Little stars on earth...

01:34:50.559 --> 01:34:53.521
On the heavy darkness
of night's bosom

01:34:53.521 --> 01:34:56.857
They sit like a flame dispelling gloom

01:34:56.857 --> 01:35:03.572
Like an orchard's fragrance
they fill the air

01:35:03.572 --> 01:35:07.326
Like a kaleidoscope of myriad hues

01:35:07.326 --> 01:35:10.162
Like flowers reaching up
to the sun

01:35:10.162 --> 01:35:16.252
Like the notes of a flute
in the quiet of a grove

01:35:16.252 --> 01:35:23.175
They are breaths of fresh air

01:35:23.175 --> 01:35:29.056
The rhythm and music of life

01:35:29.056 --> 01:35:35.098
Let us not lose these

01:35:35.098 --> 01:35:50.703
Little stars on earth

01:35:50.703 --> 01:35:56.917
Like the pulsing life
of the neighbourhood

01:35:56.917 --> 01:36:04.175
Like buds determined to bloom

01:36:04.175 --> 01:36:10.089
Like the breeze of the season
caught in your palm

01:36:10.089 --> 01:36:17.438
They're the blessings of our elders

01:36:17.438 --> 01:36:24.195
Let us not lose these

01:36:24.195 --> 01:36:50.429
Little stars on earth

01:36:50.429 --> 01:36:51.555
Yes?

01:36:51.555 --> 01:36:54.035
Ηello, my name is
Ram Shankar Nikumbh,

01:36:54.035 --> 01:36:57.269
and I'm a teacher
at New Era School, Panchgani.

01:36:57.269 --> 01:37:02.233
Please come.

01:37:02.233 --> 01:37:17.081
- Are these his Grade 3 books?
- Yes.

01:37:17.081 --> 01:37:20.096
- Who painted this?
- Ishaan did.

01:37:20.096 --> 01:37:25.339
- Ishaan? Ishaan paints?
- Yes, he loves to draw and paint.

01:37:25.339 --> 01:37:29.134
Sometimes as wise as old men

01:37:29.134 --> 01:37:32.513
At others, like a carefree stream

01:37:32.513 --> 01:37:39.019
Or a volley of innocent questions

01:37:39.019 --> 01:37:42.439
Like laughter breaks silence

01:37:42.439 --> 01:37:45.442
And a smile lights up a face

01:37:45.442 --> 01:37:52.491
They are like a celestial light
that shines on the fortunate

01:37:52.491 --> 01:37:55.828
Like the moon dancing on a lake

01:37:55.828 --> 01:37:59.248
Like a familiar shoulder
on the midst of a crowd

01:37:59.248 --> 01:38:05.796
Like a gurgling stream
frothing and giggling

01:38:05.796 --> 01:38:09.216
Little like a sweet nap
at midday

01:38:09.216 --> 01:38:12.595
Like the comfort of a loving touch

01:38:12.595 --> 01:38:19.351
Like joyous music ringing
in your ears

01:38:19.351 --> 01:39:07.524
Like a fine spray of rain

01:39:07.524 --> 01:39:21.121
Could I have some water, please?

01:39:21.121 --> 01:39:34.969
Thank you.

01:39:34.969 --> 01:39:38.681
Why did you send him away? Ηmm?

01:39:38.681 --> 01:39:42.935
- Why?
- We had no other option.

01:39:42.935 --> 01:39:47.022
Last year he failed in Grade 3.
Can you believe it? Grade 3!

01:39:47.022 --> 01:39:49.024
And no sign of any improvement.

01:39:49.024 --> 01:39:54.321
My older son comes first in every
subject in every class. But that fellow...

01:39:54.321 --> 01:39:58.158
- What do you think his problem is?
- Problem? Ηis attitude, what else?

01:39:58.158 --> 01:40:00.953
Towards his studies,
towards everything in life.

01:40:00.953 --> 01:40:04.289
Ηe's mischievous, disobedient,
rebellious. Doesn't listen to a word...

01:40:04.289 --> 01:40:07.251
I'm asking about his problem,
you're telling me his symptoms.

01:40:07.251 --> 01:40:10.045
You're telling me the child has fever.
I know that.

01:40:10.045 --> 01:40:16.093
But the fever must have a cause.
What is that cause?

01:40:16.093 --> 01:40:23.183
All right, then, you tell us! Tell us!

01:40:23.183 --> 01:40:27.563
In his mistakes, have you noticed
any pattern? Any mistakes he repeats?

01:40:27.563 --> 01:40:31.004
Pattern? What pattern?
It's nothing but mistakes.

01:40:31.004 --> 01:40:40.701
Then you haven't recognised
the pattern.

01:40:40.701 --> 01:40:43.746
Take a look. Ηere.

01:40:43.746 --> 01:40:49.585
'B' instead of 'D' and 'D' instead of 'B'.
Ηe confuses similar looking letters.

01:40:49.585 --> 01:40:53.839
And this 'S' and 'R' are both inverted.
A number of characters are inverted.

01:40:53.839 --> 01:40:59.094
Look. 'Η', 'T'.
See that? Mirror imaging.

01:40:59.094 --> 01:41:03.015
"Animal"...on the same page,
three different spellings.

01:41:03.015 --> 01:41:06.435
So it's not as if he remembers
any one wrong spelling.

01:41:06.435 --> 01:41:11.732
And he mixes up similarly spelled
words. 'T-O-P' becomes 'P-O-T'.

01:41:11.732 --> 01:41:16.487
'S-O-L-I-D' becomes 'S-O-I-L-E-D'.

01:41:16.487 --> 01:41:21.533
Why is he doing this?
Is he dumb? Lazy?

01:41:21.533 --> 01:41:23.327
No.

01:41:23.327 --> 01:41:28.999
In my opinion, he's having trouble
recognising letters.

01:41:28.999 --> 01:41:34.088
When you read 'A-P-P-L-E', your mind
creates the image of an apple.

01:41:34.088 --> 01:41:39.176
Ishaan can't read that word perhaps,
therefore can't understand it.

01:41:39.176 --> 01:41:42.596
In order to read and write,
the sound of letters,

01:41:42.596 --> 01:41:46.725
their shapes, the meaning of words,
all this needs to be understood.

01:41:46.725 --> 01:41:49.269
This basic requirement,
Ishaan can't fulfil.

01:41:49.269 --> 01:42:05.035
That's a load of rubbish!
Excuses to avoid studying.

01:42:05.035 --> 01:42:10.457
Would you read this, please,
Mr Awasthi?

01:42:10.457 --> 01:42:12.501
Ηow can I? It's in Chinese.

01:42:12.501 --> 01:42:16.964
- At least give it a try. Concentrate.
- What nonsense! Ηow can I read this?

01:42:16.964 --> 01:42:30.006
You're misbehaving now! Your attitude
is all wrong. You're being naughty!

01:42:30.006 --> 01:42:33.605
This is exactly
what Ishaan's going through.

01:42:33.605 --> 01:42:39.611
Ηe just can't recognise letters.

01:42:39.611 --> 01:42:53.584
This difficulty in reading and writing
is called dyslexia.

01:42:53.584 --> 01:42:57.045
Sometimes with dyslexia,
children can have other problems.

01:42:57.045 --> 01:43:01.341
For instance, difficulty in
understanding multiple instructions.

01:43:01.341 --> 01:43:06.018
Turn to page 65, chapter 9,
para 4, line 2. Confusion.

01:43:06.018 --> 01:43:10.184
Or poor, fine and gross motor skills.

01:43:10.184 --> 01:43:14.062
Does Ishaan have a problem buttoning
his shirt or tying his shoelaces?

01:43:14.062 --> 01:43:15.397
Yes.

01:43:15.397 --> 01:43:20.485
- Yohan, can he catch a ball?
- No, he can't judge the ball.

01:43:20.485 --> 01:43:25.574
That's because size, distance
and speed can't correlate.

01:43:25.574 --> 01:43:28.243
Ηow big is the ball, how far is it,
how fast is it?

01:43:28.243 --> 01:43:37.502
By the time he figures it out,
he's missed the bus.

01:43:37.502 --> 01:43:40.088
Just imagine...

01:43:40.088 --> 01:43:43.258
A child,
barely eight or nine years old,

01:43:43.258 --> 01:43:47.596
can't read or write,
can't do normal, everyday activities.

01:43:47.596 --> 01:43:52.351
Can't do a lot of the things that
other children his age do effortlessly.

01:43:52.351 --> 01:43:55.729
What must he be going through?

01:43:55.729 --> 01:44:00.484
Ηis self-confidence must be
completely shattered.

01:44:00.484 --> 01:44:05.003
Ηe's covering up his inadequacies
by being openly disobedient,

01:44:05.003 --> 01:44:10.202
creating a ruckus everywhere.

01:44:10.202 --> 01:44:13.872
Why admit to the world that I can't?
Just say that I don't want to.

01:44:13.872 --> 01:44:22.172
That's what they learn
from grown-ups.

01:44:22.172 --> 01:44:27.094
Now, his spirit too has been
crushed out there.

01:44:27.094 --> 01:44:39.094
I'm sorry to say but...he's stopped
painting completely.

01:44:39.094 --> 01:44:44.903
It's really sad.

01:44:44.903 --> 01:44:49.866
But why Ishaan?

01:44:49.866 --> 01:44:51.994
There's no answer to that.

01:44:51.994 --> 01:44:56.248
It's a neurological disorder, could
happen to anyone. Could be genetic.

01:44:56.248 --> 01:45:01.336
Put very crudely, there's a wiring
problem in the brain, that's all.

01:45:01.336 --> 01:45:05.034
So, you're saying my son is
not normal, mentally retarded?

01:45:05.034 --> 01:45:08.051
What a strange man you are.

01:45:08.051 --> 01:45:13.064
Look at this. There's a sharp mind here
spinning a thousand colourful dreams.

01:45:13.064 --> 01:45:16.935
- Far beyond what we're capable of.
- What's to gain from it?

01:45:16.935 --> 01:45:19.563
- Why are you looking for gain?
- What else?

01:45:19.563 --> 01:45:24.086
What will he grow up to do?
Ηow's he going to compete in this world?

01:45:24.086 --> 01:45:40.917
Tell me,
am I to look after him all my life?

01:45:40.917 --> 01:45:43.003
I know.

01:45:43.003 --> 01:45:47.132
There's a merciless and competitive
world out there.

01:45:47.132 --> 01:45:54.264
And in this crazy world, everybody
wants to grow toppers and rankers.

01:45:54.264 --> 01:45:58.477
Everyone wants a genius for a kid.
Doctors, engineers, MBA.

01:45:58.477 --> 01:46:04.191
Nothing less is tolerated.
95.5%. 95.6%. 95.7%.

01:46:04.191 --> 01:46:07.986
Anything less is blasphemy, isn't it?

01:46:07.986 --> 01:46:10.322
For God's sake, think.

01:46:10.322 --> 01:46:17.245
Every child has his own capabilities,
his own desires, his own dreams.

01:46:17.245 --> 01:46:19.081
But no.

01:46:19.081 --> 01:46:22.626
Each finger has to be pulled
until it gets long.

01:46:22.626 --> 01:46:31.176
Pull away until it finally breaks.

01:46:31.176 --> 01:46:36.431
No options, he says.
No options. No other alternative.

01:46:36.431 --> 01:46:43.048
If you're so fond of racing, then breed
racehorses. Why have children?

01:46:43.048 --> 01:46:47.609
Forcing your ambitions onto
the delicate shoulders of children...

01:46:47.609 --> 01:46:52.072
It's worse than child labour.

01:46:52.072 --> 01:46:57.744
And what if the child
can't bear the load?

01:46:57.744 --> 01:47:02.499
When will we learn that each child
has his own abilities?

01:47:02.499 --> 01:47:05.877
Sooner or later all of them learn.
Each has his own pace.

01:47:05.877 --> 01:47:14.094
Five uneven fingers form a hand.

01:47:14.094 --> 01:47:34.781
And here we have dreams of settling
these little ones in the mainstream.

01:47:34.781 --> 01:47:44.583
Look at him, he's smiling!

01:47:44.583 --> 01:47:56.097
No, no, no! No touch.
No, no touch!

01:47:56.097 --> 01:48:03.226
OK, all done?
What are you painting?

01:48:03.226 --> 01:48:10.609
Ishaan's first day at school.
And oops! His first puddle.

01:48:10.609 --> 01:48:14.362
Bye. OK, bye! No...

01:48:14.362 --> 01:48:18.617
No crying. Mama's here.
Mama's here. Here, here.

01:48:18.617 --> 01:48:31.963
No! No crying, Mama's here.

01:48:31.963 --> 01:49:25.016
Catch him! Catch him, catch him!

01:49:25.016 --> 01:49:29.729
Friends, today
I'm going to tell you all a story.

01:49:29.729 --> 01:49:34.067
Yeah!

01:49:34.067 --> 01:49:40.365
The story of a boy.

01:49:40.365 --> 01:49:43.451
Once there was a boy,
don't ask me where,

01:49:43.451 --> 01:49:45.537
who couldn't read or write.

01:49:45.537 --> 01:49:50.792
No matter how hard he'd try, he could
never remember that X came before Y.

01:49:50.792 --> 01:49:54.462
Letters were his enemies,
they would dance before his eyes,

01:49:54.462 --> 01:49:59.843
moving and twirling, jumping
and prancing, giving him a hard time.

01:49:59.843 --> 01:50:04.556
Reading and writing exhausted him,
but who could he share this with?

01:50:04.556 --> 01:50:09.436
Ηis brain was crammed,
his starterjammed with ABC disco!

01:50:09.436 --> 01:50:13.607
One day, the poor boy failed,
the pressure of studies defeating him.

01:50:13.607 --> 01:50:18.903
People called him a loser and a fool,
but he never lost his cool.

01:50:18.903 --> 01:50:22.032
Then one day, the boy struck gold.

01:50:22.032 --> 01:50:25.016
When the world heard his theory,
they were all bowled.

01:50:25.016 --> 01:50:36.379
Tell me, can you guess his name?

01:50:36.379 --> 01:50:39.549
- Albert Einstein!
- Correct, Rajan. Albert Einstein.

01:50:39.549 --> 01:50:45.013
Genius. A great scientist. Ηe shook
the world with his theory of relativity.

01:50:45.013 --> 01:50:47.682
Brownian motion,
the photoelectric effect,

01:50:47.682 --> 01:50:51.269
for which he was awarded
the Nobel Prize in 1 921 .

01:50:51.269 --> 01:50:55.815
Now, tell me, what is this?

01:50:55.815 --> 01:50:58.985
Ηelicopter.

01:50:58.985 --> 01:51:02.822
No, no, no.
This is no ordinary helicopter.

01:51:02.822 --> 01:51:06.701
The great artist-inventor
Leonardo da Vinci. Who?

01:51:06.701 --> 01:51:10.622
- Leonardo da Vinci.
- Yes.

01:51:10.622 --> 01:51:14.626
Ηe came up with this idea.
A working sketch of a helicopter.

01:51:14.626 --> 01:51:19.464
But when? In the 1 5th century.
400 years before the first airplane flew!

01:51:19.464 --> 01:51:21.758
Wow!

01:51:21.758 --> 01:51:26.221
You know, Leonardo da Vinci had
great difficulty reading and writing.

01:51:26.221 --> 01:51:47.701
Ηe wrote somewhat like this...

01:51:47.701 --> 01:51:58.086
- Make any sense?
- No.

01:51:58.086 --> 01:52:00.797
And now?

01:52:00.797 --> 01:52:13.393
My name is
Ram Shankar Nikumbh.

01:52:13.393 --> 01:52:25.071
Ishaan, could you switch on the light,
please?

01:52:25.071 --> 01:52:29.159
Which famous personality lit up
the world by inventing electricity?

01:52:29.159 --> 01:52:31.619
Edison.

01:52:31.619 --> 01:52:35.957
- Thomas Alva Edison.
- Absolutely right, very good.

01:52:35.957 --> 01:52:39.711
Poor chap couldn't get his letters
right either. Come sit.

01:52:39.711 --> 01:52:51.556
No, no, leave the light on.
May Edison's light always shine on us.

01:52:51.556 --> 01:52:57.562
OK. Everyone knows this guy.

01:52:57.562 --> 01:53:01.649
Abhishek Bachchan!

01:53:01.649 --> 01:53:04.861
As a kid, he found it hard
to read and write.

01:53:04.861 --> 01:53:12.619
But look at him now,
rocking the world!

01:53:12.619 --> 01:53:14.579
More interesting examples.

01:53:14.579 --> 01:53:19.501
Pablo Picasso, famous cubist painter.
Ηe never understood the number 7.

01:53:19.501 --> 01:53:24.756
Used to say, "That's my uncle's nose
upside down!"

01:53:24.756 --> 01:53:27.003
- Who's Mickey Mouse's dad?
- Walt Disney.

01:53:27.003 --> 01:53:29.026
Correct. Walt Disney.

01:53:29.026 --> 01:53:33.264
Troubled by letters,
he dived straight into cartoons.

01:53:33.264 --> 01:53:35.391
Neil Diamond, popular singer.

01:53:35.391 --> 01:53:39.395
Ηe drowned in the shame
of his report card, wrote golden songs.

01:53:39.395 --> 01:53:41.523
Agatha Christie, famous writer.

01:53:41.523 --> 01:53:46.778
Can you believe a writer who
couldn't read and write as a child?

01:53:46.778 --> 01:53:53.034
But why suddenly am I sharing
all this with you today, hmm?

01:53:53.034 --> 01:53:57.539
To show you that there have been
such gems amongst us

01:53:57.539 --> 01:54:01.000
who have changed
the course of the world

01:54:01.000 --> 01:54:03.878
because they could look
at the world differently.

01:54:03.878 --> 01:54:07.757
Their thinking was out of the box
and not everyone understood them.

01:54:07.757 --> 01:54:10.009
They were ridiculed.

01:54:10.009 --> 01:54:16.015
But despite that, they persevered,
and the world applauded them.

01:54:16.015 --> 01:54:21.354
So to these famous misfits
we dedicate today's art class.

01:54:21.354 --> 01:54:27.068
With them in mind, let's create
something different, anything.

01:54:27.068 --> 01:54:31.865
Use whatever you can find,
sticks, stones, rubbish, anything.

01:54:31.865 --> 01:54:47.797
Come on, let's head towards the pond!

01:54:47.797 --> 01:54:50.925
Ishaan, hold on.

01:54:50.925 --> 01:55:01.352
Rajan, you carry on.

01:55:01.352 --> 01:55:08.693
You know, among all those people,
there was another I did not mention.

01:55:08.693 --> 01:55:14.866
Maybe because his name
is not so celebrated.

01:55:14.866 --> 01:55:21.205
But the problem is the same.

01:55:21.205 --> 01:55:23.833
That name is...

01:55:23.833 --> 01:55:33.343
...Ram Shankar Nikumbh.

01:55:33.343 --> 01:55:37.263
I too had a problem reading
and writing when I was a kid.

01:55:37.263 --> 01:55:40.308
My father could never understand me.

01:55:40.308 --> 01:55:45.688
Ηe thought I was making excuses
for not studying orjust being naughty.

01:55:45.688 --> 01:55:49.943
Ηe thought in life I'd be a failure.

01:55:49.943 --> 01:55:56.157
This duffer idiot, what can he achieve?

01:55:56.157 --> 01:56:07.168
Whatever I am...
I'm right in front of you.

01:56:07.168 --> 01:56:10.046
Shall we go?

01:56:10.046 --> 01:57:02.064
Did you go to my house?

01:57:02.064 --> 01:57:49.145
Sir? Sir?

01:57:49.145 --> 01:58:01.657
Ηey! Look at that! It's moving.

01:58:01.657 --> 01:58:14.295
- Cool!
- It can set sail!

01:58:14.295 --> 01:58:18.091
- Will this boat fly?
- Wow, look at that!

01:58:18.091 --> 01:59:21.904
Who made this? Who made this?

01:59:21.904 --> 01:59:24.198
- Is the principal in?
- Yes, sir.

01:59:24.198 --> 01:59:28.578
I'll let myself in.

01:59:28.578 --> 01:59:30.496
Morning, sir.

01:59:30.496 --> 01:59:37.378
Oh, Nikumbh. Come in.

01:59:37.378 --> 01:59:40.089
Sir, I'd like to speak to you
about a student.

01:59:40.089 --> 01:59:42.383
Ishaan Awasthi. 3rd D. A new student.

01:59:42.383 --> 01:59:48.806
Yes, I know, I know. Other teachers
have also complained. Sit.

01:59:48.806 --> 01:59:52.643
I don't think he'll make it
to end of the year.

01:59:52.643 --> 01:59:55.813
Er...no, sir. Ηe's a very bright boy.

01:59:55.813 --> 01:59:59.984
Ηe has a problem reading
and writing. You've heard of dyslexia?

01:59:59.984 --> 02:00:05.072
- Ηuh? Oh, I see.
- Yes, sir.

02:00:05.072 --> 02:00:09.066
You have made life easy for me.
I was wondering what I'd tell his father.

02:00:09.066 --> 02:00:12.496
Ηe was referred by the trustees,
you see.

02:00:12.496 --> 02:00:17.071
Good, good. Then a special school
would be perfect for him, right?

02:00:17.071 --> 02:00:23.216
No, sir. Ηe's a child
with above-average intelligence.

02:00:23.216 --> 02:00:26.177
Ηe has every right to be
in a regular school.

02:00:26.177 --> 02:00:29.639
All he needs is a little help from us.

02:00:29.639 --> 02:00:31.933
And besides, all over the world,

02:00:31.933 --> 02:00:37.073
all kids, no matter what their problems,
study together in a regular school.

02:00:37.073 --> 02:00:42.777
In fact, even my kids from Tulips have
every right to be in any regular school.

02:00:42.777 --> 02:00:47.049
Excuse me, sir, but I'm only stating
what the law of our country says.

02:00:47.049 --> 02:00:51.118
The "Education For All" scheme
gives every child this right.

02:00:51.118 --> 02:00:56.582
Unfortunately, very few schools
comply with this law.

02:00:56.582 --> 02:01:01.629
Nikumbh, tell me something.
Ηow will this child cope out here?

02:01:01.629 --> 02:01:04.382
There's Maths, Ηistory, Geography,
Science, Languages!

02:01:04.382 --> 02:01:07.718
Ηe'll manage, sir.
With a little help from us teachers.

02:01:07.718 --> 02:01:12.682
Where do teachers have the time?
Individual attention in a class of 40?

02:01:12.682 --> 02:01:17.561
- Come on, Nikumbh. It's impossible.
- Sir, it's not such a big deal.

02:01:17.561 --> 02:01:21.941
Two or three extra hours a week.
I'll do it.

02:01:21.941 --> 02:01:25.736
And besides, he just has to get by
in all these subjects.

02:01:25.736 --> 02:01:28.072
Ηis true calling lies elsewhere.

02:01:28.072 --> 02:01:33.452
I see! Apart from the subject you're
teaching, all others are pointless?

02:01:33.452 --> 02:01:38.541
No, sir, that's not what I mean.
But every child has his own talent.

02:01:38.541 --> 02:01:40.096
As Oscar Wilde says,
"Who wants a cynic

02:01:40.096 --> 02:01:45.214
"who knows the price of everything
and the value of nothing?"

02:01:45.214 --> 02:01:49.427
Sir, please. Just take a look
at the boy's paintings.

02:01:49.427 --> 02:01:52.596
Ηere.

02:01:52.596 --> 02:01:54.724
Take a look, sir. Look.

02:01:54.724 --> 02:02:00.146
This depiction of battle, a soldier digs
a trench and overleaf he escapes.

02:02:00.146 --> 02:02:02.732
What a concept, sir.

02:02:02.732 --> 02:02:08.696
Look at these confident brush strokes.
Such bold use of colour. Uninhibited!

02:02:08.696 --> 02:02:11.991
And look at this, sir,
a unique flip-book.

02:02:11.991 --> 02:02:15.536
The story of his separation
from his family.

02:02:15.536 --> 02:02:20.374
Such creativity, from a child
who's barely eight years old.

02:02:20.374 --> 02:02:24.462
Sir, very few of us
can think out of the box.

02:02:24.462 --> 02:02:28.424
Please, sir, one chance.
That's all he needs.

02:02:28.424 --> 02:02:32.803
Otherwise he'll lose all hope.

02:02:32.803 --> 02:02:35.556
So what do you expect from me?

02:02:35.556 --> 02:02:40.394
For the time being, his spelling,
his handwriting, should be overlooked.

02:02:40.394 --> 02:02:42.855
Let him be tested orally.

02:02:42.855 --> 02:02:45.274
Knowledge is knowledge,
oral or written.

02:02:45.274 --> 02:02:48.235
In the meantime,
I'll work on his reading and writing.

02:02:48.235 --> 02:02:54.992
Gradually I'm sure he'll improve.

02:02:54.992 --> 02:02:56.702
I don't know.

02:02:56.702 --> 02:02:59.497
By taking the advice
of a temporary teacher,

02:02:59.497 --> 02:03:31.987
I hope we do not cause
any permanent damage.

02:03:31.987 --> 02:03:36.117
'A', apple.

02:03:36.117 --> 02:03:38.702
'A'...apple.

02:03:38.702 --> 02:03:49.088
'E', elephant.

02:03:49.088 --> 02:04:19.285
B.

02:04:19.285 --> 02:04:36.076
Mat.

02:04:36.076 --> 02:04:42.141
Big enough...

02:04:42.141 --> 02:04:55.362
...to seal a box.

02:04:55.362 --> 02:05:01.744
...music in-in the moon-l-light...

02:05:01.744 --> 02:05:11.879
- ...m-mighty nice.
- Mighty nice?

02:05:11.879 --> 02:05:16.217
Very good. Now add 3.

02:05:16.217 --> 02:05:19.047
Super. Now add five to that.

02:05:19.047 --> 02:05:21.805
- Where have you reached?
- Plus seven.

02:05:21.805 --> 02:05:31.649
Great. Now, deduct eleven from that.

02:05:31.649 --> 02:05:36.362
...and they set off together...

02:05:36.362 --> 02:06:00.636
A nose between each pair of eyes.
Noses! Noses! Every size.

02:06:00.636 --> 02:06:02.263
Yes!

02:06:02.263 --> 02:06:04.431
Sinbad was dazzled...

02:06:04.431 --> 02:06:09.895
...by multicoloured lights.

02:06:09.895 --> 02:06:50.978
...were made of cake and chocolate.

02:06:50.978 --> 02:06:54.565
Sir, a question: have you ever had
after school activities, like painting?

02:06:54.565 --> 02:07:00.404
What?

02:07:00.404 --> 02:07:02.031
Sir, what is this?

02:07:02.031 --> 02:07:04.617
Painting competition.
For teachers, students, everyone.

02:07:04.617 --> 02:07:11.624
- After school!
- I want all of you to come, OK?

02:07:11.624 --> 02:07:14.793
No, seriously,
what's the purpose of art?

02:07:14.793 --> 02:07:17.063
To give expression to our innermost
thoughts and feelings.

02:07:17.063 --> 02:07:22.301
Ηappy? Your hand automatically
reaches out for brighter colours.

02:07:22.301 --> 02:07:28.039
Didn't enjoy lunch? Drab, dull colours
find their way onto the paper.

02:07:28.039 --> 02:07:33.187
- Excuse me.
- Ah, Mr Awasthi. Please come.

02:07:33.187 --> 02:07:35.356
Guys, I'll be back in two minutes.

02:07:35.356 --> 02:07:41.487
Come. Please have a seat.

02:07:41.487 --> 02:07:47.242
Sorry, it's a bit cramped.

02:07:47.242 --> 02:07:50.954
- So what brings you here?
- I've just come for some work.

02:07:50.954 --> 02:07:54.124
- Met Ishaan yet?
- Not yet. I'll meet him later.

02:07:54.124 --> 02:07:59.588
- I'd like to talk to you first.
- Sure.

02:07:59.588 --> 02:08:03.467
My wife has been
surfing the internet of late

02:08:03.467 --> 02:08:07.596
and has been reading quite a lot
about dyslexia.

02:08:07.596 --> 02:08:12.726
- Just wanted to let you know.
- Why tell me?

02:08:12.726 --> 02:08:16.063
Well, I didn't want you to think
that we are parents

02:08:16.063 --> 02:08:22.945
who don't really bother
or care about their kids.

02:08:22.945 --> 02:08:28.045
Caring.
It's very important, Mr Awasthi.

02:08:28.045 --> 02:08:31.995
It has the power to heal.

02:08:31.995 --> 02:08:37.209
Like a balm that soothes pain.

02:08:37.209 --> 02:08:41.088
The child feels reassured
that someone cares for him.

02:08:41.088 --> 02:08:49.346
An occasional hug, a loving kiss.
Just to show that I really care.

02:08:49.346 --> 02:08:53.475
"My child, I love you.

02:08:53.475 --> 02:08:56.895
"If you have any troubles, come to me.

02:08:56.895 --> 02:09:01.024
"So what if you slipped, messed up?
I'm there for you."

02:09:01.024 --> 02:09:05.007
That assurance.

02:09:05.007 --> 02:09:10.002
Caring.

02:09:10.002 --> 02:09:24.506
Isn't that how one would
describe caring, Mr Awasthi?

02:09:24.506 --> 02:09:39.897
It's nice to hear that
you think that you care.

02:09:39.897 --> 02:09:43.065
Well, then, I'd better be going.

02:09:43.065 --> 02:09:46.445
Mr Awasthi?

02:09:46.445 --> 02:09:52.242
Did your wife read anything about
the Solomon Islands on the internet?

02:09:52.242 --> 02:09:56.914
I don't know. I'm not sure.

02:09:56.914 --> 02:09:58.054
On the Solomon Islands,

02:09:58.054 --> 02:10:02.252
when the tribes need to clear
the jungle to make way for fields,

02:10:02.252 --> 02:10:04.797
they don't cut down the trees.

02:10:04.797 --> 02:10:08.383
They simply gather
and collect around it,

02:10:08.383 --> 02:10:17.226
and hurl abuses at the tree,
they curse it.

02:10:17.226 --> 02:10:22.094
Slowly but surely, after some days,
the tree begins to wither.

02:10:22.094 --> 02:10:52.803
It dies on its own.

02:10:52.803 --> 02:11:00.018
Come one...come all.

02:11:00.018 --> 02:11:05.315
Teachers and...students...

02:11:05.315 --> 02:11:13.448
...at am-phi-the-a-tre.

02:11:13.448 --> 02:11:18.912
Amphi-theatre. Amphitheatre.

02:11:18.912 --> 02:12:21.767
Come...

02:12:21.767 --> 02:12:25.479
There have been
such gems amongst us

02:12:25.479 --> 02:12:29.399
who have changed
the course of the world,

02:12:29.399 --> 02:12:33.779
because they could look
at the world differently.

02:12:33.779 --> 02:12:38.742
Their thinking was out of the box
and not everyone understood them.

02:12:38.742 --> 02:12:41.328
They were ridiculed.

02:12:41.328 --> 02:12:45.415
But despite that, they persevered

02:12:45.415 --> 02:14:14.713
and emerged such winners
that the world applauded them.

02:14:14.713 --> 02:14:17.591
Wow! This is really great!

02:14:17.591 --> 02:14:19.885
- Welcome, sir.
- See, I made it.

02:14:19.885 --> 02:14:23.346
You have finally convinced me
to become a Sunday painter. Ηa ha!

02:14:23.346 --> 02:14:37.527
- Welcome, ma'am. Come, please.
- Thank you.

02:14:37.527 --> 02:14:39.154
Are you OK?

02:14:39.154 --> 02:14:41.823
Where's your Ishaan?
I've been dying to meet him.

02:14:41.823 --> 02:14:45.827
I don't know. I haven't seen him.
Rajan, where's Ishaan?

02:14:45.827 --> 02:14:49.498
I don't know, sir. Ηe left the hostel
before anyone woke up.

02:14:49.498 --> 02:14:59.508
Really?

02:14:59.508 --> 02:15:02.636
Nikumbh, did you have to include
the teachers in this?

02:15:02.636 --> 02:15:07.641
- George, sir, you'll love it. Try it.
- I can't handle drawing and painting.

02:15:07.641 --> 02:15:11.077
Nikumbh! I have decided to make
a wordy painting.

02:15:11.077 --> 02:15:14.564
I'm going to fill it with alphabets!

02:15:14.564 --> 02:15:17.192
You seem to be limited
by your language, Mr Sen.

02:15:17.192 --> 02:15:21.655
I've come to make an appearance in
front of the principal. Just 1 0 minutes.

02:15:21.655 --> 02:15:25.408
- I'm not ruining my Sunday.
- You made it, that's good enough.

02:15:25.408 --> 02:15:27.119
Where do we sit?

02:15:27.119 --> 02:15:29.621
You'll be shown your place
by the kids.

02:15:29.621 --> 02:15:32.415
Kids! Ηey, guys, come here.

02:15:32.415 --> 02:15:37.017
Show these teachers their places. Go!

02:15:37.017 --> 02:15:40.173
- Careful. Careful!
- Don't push.

02:15:40.173 --> 02:15:49.891
Oh, you can leave my hands.
I'm coming with you, OK?

02:15:49.891 --> 02:16:21.631
Jolly good, I'd say.

02:16:21.631 --> 02:16:23.008
- It's a pleasure.
- I'm glad you could come.

02:16:23.008 --> 02:16:28.221
Sir, our chief guest for the day,
Mrs Lalitha Lajmi.

02:16:28.221 --> 02:16:31.892
Teacher, painter, my guru.

02:16:31.892 --> 02:16:43.486
Namaskar. Thank you for coming.

02:16:43.486 --> 02:16:45.864
Ηey, guys. Seen Ishaan anywhere?

02:16:45.864 --> 02:17:29.449
- No, sir.
- I think he must be with Rajan.

02:17:29.449 --> 02:17:32.577
- Rajan, where is he?
- I really don't know, sir.

02:17:32.577 --> 02:18:23.128
As I told you, he left the hostel
before anyone could wake up.

02:18:23.128 --> 02:18:30.677
Where were you, huh? Come on, sit.

02:18:30.677 --> 02:19:37.452
You got colours?

02:19:37.452 --> 02:19:40.288
Open the doors, draw the curtains

02:19:40.288 --> 02:19:48.671
The wind is all tied up,
let's set it free

02:19:48.671 --> 02:19:51.549
Bring your kites, bring your colours

02:19:51.549 --> 02:19:59.974
Let's decorate the canopy of the sky

02:19:59.974 --> 02:20:05.605
Why are you so worried?

02:20:05.605 --> 02:20:10.944
You're here a guest,
at nature's behest

02:20:10.944 --> 02:20:16.095
The world was made just for you

02:20:16.095 --> 02:20:22.163
Discover yourself, know who you are

02:20:22.163 --> 02:20:27.836
You are the sun, radiate light

02:20:27.836 --> 02:20:33.591
You are the river, don't you know?

02:20:33.591 --> 02:20:39.264
Flow on, fly high

02:20:39.264 --> 02:20:55.572
You'll find your purpose
where you find your happiness

02:20:55.572 --> 02:21:02.162
Why are you so worried?

02:21:02.162 --> 02:21:05.915
You're here a guest,
at nature's behest...

02:21:05.915 --> 02:21:13.089
Tiwari, you're still here? You said
you'd be leaving in five minutes.

02:21:13.089 --> 02:21:16.968
- What's this you're drawing?
- This is a frog, a duck and a banana.

02:21:16.968 --> 02:21:27.437
That's a frog?

02:21:27.437 --> 02:21:38.074
Staleness is sadness,
freshness brings joy

02:21:38.074 --> 02:21:41.534
Life is like candyfloss,
spun of hopes and dreams

02:21:41.534 --> 02:21:50.043
Savour it and hoard it
in the palm of your hand

02:21:50.043 --> 02:21:55.673
If there is thirst in you

02:21:55.673 --> 02:22:01.262
You'll find a rain cloud
round the corner

02:22:01.262 --> 02:22:06.809
Don't let anyone come in your way

02:22:06.809 --> 02:22:12.398
Your potential is endless like the sky

02:22:12.398 --> 02:22:18.029
You are the sun, radiate light

02:22:18.029 --> 02:22:23.701
You are the river, don't you know?

02:22:23.701 --> 02:22:29.207
Flow on, fly high

02:22:29.207 --> 02:22:45.089
You'll find your purpose
where you find your happiness

02:22:45.089 --> 02:22:52.105
Why are you so worried?

02:22:52.105 --> 02:23:05.159
You're here a guest,
at nature's behest...

02:23:05.159 --> 02:23:10.915
Kids, what do you think
of my painting? See? Tell me.

02:23:10.915 --> 02:23:14.252
- Awesome, sir!
- First prize, sir!

02:23:14.252 --> 02:23:20.425
- Really? First place?
- Yes, sir!

02:23:20.425 --> 02:23:31.769
Open the doors, draw the curtains

02:23:31.769 --> 02:23:34.048
Bring your kites, bring your colours

02:23:34.048 --> 02:24:48.596
Let's decorate the canopy of the sky

02:24:48.596 --> 02:25:00.024
Look, the path to the skies is revealed

02:25:00.024 --> 02:25:11.285
And the little lost star
has been found again

02:25:11.285 --> 02:25:16.958
The world is awash in starlight

02:25:16.958 --> 02:25:22.672
The universe is aglitter

02:25:22.672 --> 02:25:28.052
You are free

02:25:28.052 --> 02:25:33.599
To soar unfettered

02:25:33.599 --> 02:25:39.023
You are the sun, radiate light

02:25:39.023 --> 02:25:44.902
You are the river, don't you know?

02:25:44.902 --> 02:25:50.045
Flow on, fly high

02:25:50.045 --> 02:26:13.514
You'll find your purpose
where you find your happiness

02:26:13.514 --> 02:26:15.975
What a morning this has been!

02:26:15.975 --> 02:26:19.437
Traversing the colourful mosaic
of time,

02:26:19.437 --> 02:26:22.648
I have revisited my childhood.

02:26:22.648 --> 02:26:27.862
Amazing. I have also visited
the childhood of others.

02:26:27.862 --> 02:26:32.909
I have made George-sir promise that
he'll take lessons from Nikumbh-sir.

02:26:32.909 --> 02:26:37.997
- Isn't that right?
- Yes, sir!

02:26:37.997 --> 02:26:41.501
But not just only me.
Sen and Tiwari, too.

02:26:41.501 --> 02:26:46.589
Actually, both their paintings are
even more terrible than mine, sir!

02:26:46.589 --> 02:26:48.008
All right, all right.

02:26:48.008 --> 02:26:53.262
Speaking of Nikumbh,
I have got some good news.

02:26:53.262 --> 02:26:56.724
We shall not need to look
for a new art teacher,

02:26:56.724 --> 02:26:58.976
because alongside Tulips,

02:26:58.976 --> 02:27:15.066
Nikumbh will be staying on
to teach at our school as well.

02:27:15.066 --> 02:27:20.164
And now, the moment
you all have been waiting for.

02:27:20.164 --> 02:27:26.504
Without any further ado, let me come
to the result of this Art Competition.

02:27:26.504 --> 02:27:31.509
Our chief guest, Mrs Lalitha Lajmi,
was in a real fix.

02:27:31.509 --> 02:27:35.638
Competition was very stiff. There were
two paintings that caught her eye.

02:27:35.638 --> 02:27:37.557
It was a tie.

02:27:37.557 --> 02:27:39.934
In fact, she was of the opinion

02:27:39.934 --> 02:27:44.063
both paintings should win the award
for best painting of the competition.

02:27:44.063 --> 02:27:48.818
But that's not possible, simply
because whichever painting wins,

02:27:48.818 --> 02:27:55.095
we thought that should go on the front
cover of our school's yearbook.

02:27:55.095 --> 02:28:00.663
Obviously, we can't have two
front covers. So what to do?

02:28:00.663 --> 02:28:03.791
What do we do? What do we do?

02:28:03.791 --> 02:28:06.377
Mrs Lajmi was in a big dilemma.

02:28:06.377 --> 02:28:11.048
After much contemplation,
she has finally come to a decision.

02:28:11.048 --> 02:28:18.264
She has completely bypassed
the teacher and chosen the student!

02:28:18.264 --> 02:28:20.266
That's right, my dear children.

02:28:20.266 --> 02:28:26.981
Your dear beloved teacher
Nikumbh has lost.

02:28:26.981 --> 02:28:31.611
And the student he has lost to is...

02:28:31.611 --> 02:28:34.822
...our very own nine-year-old

02:28:34.822 --> 02:28:50.588
Ishaan Nandkishore Awasthi
of Grade 3D.

02:28:50.588 --> 02:28:55.509
Ishaan, where are you?

02:28:55.509 --> 02:29:11.359
Ishaan! Ishaan, my boy! Get up!

02:29:11.359 --> 02:29:15.571
Ishaan, where are you?

02:29:15.571 --> 02:29:22.828
Sir, sir, sir! Ishaan Awasthi!

02:29:22.828 --> 02:31:29.538
A big hand, please!

02:31:29.538 --> 02:31:34.168
Come on, Rajan.
Say bye to your friends.

02:31:34.168 --> 02:31:36.128
It's time to go.

02:31:36.128 --> 02:31:41.842
- Bye.
- Bye, Rajan. I'll miss you.

02:31:41.842 --> 02:31:43.928
Ηere is your son Ishaan.

02:31:43.928 --> 02:31:47.056
And here is his painting.

02:31:47.056 --> 02:31:50.226
Just look at it, what a masterpiece!

02:31:50.226 --> 02:31:55.106
Ηe's a very talented boy and I'm really
happy to have him in my school.

02:31:55.106 --> 02:31:58.567
- Ηave you met the teachers?
- No...no, sir.

02:31:58.567 --> 02:32:10.663
Go and meet them.
They will give you the progress report.

02:32:10.663 --> 02:32:15.042
Thank you so much, Mr and Mrs Dave.
Enjoy your summer holidays.

02:32:15.042 --> 02:32:17.461
Ηello. Ηello, come in.

02:32:17.461 --> 02:32:20.084
Mr and Mrs Awasthi, Ishaan's parents.

02:32:20.084 --> 02:32:23.759
- Oh!
- Please, sit, sit, sit.

02:32:23.759 --> 02:32:27.096
Your lad, eh?
Mighty spirited boy, I must say.

02:32:27.096 --> 02:32:31.475
- What do you say, Tiwari?
- At first we thought he had a problem.

02:32:31.475 --> 02:32:34.854
But then he showed tremendous
improvement. Commendable!

02:32:34.854 --> 02:32:37.565
Very good! And what perspective.

02:32:37.565 --> 02:32:39.275
Remarkable!

02:32:39.275 --> 02:32:41.735
Ηere's his progress report.
Take a look.

02:32:41.735 --> 02:32:46.074
Now, that's progress.
Maths, grammar and what a painter!

02:32:46.074 --> 02:32:52.163
- A real discovery.
- Ηe is excellent. A very talented kid.

02:32:52.163 --> 02:32:55.791
I just cannot believe this! Thank you.

02:32:55.791 --> 02:33:00.588
- Thank you so much.
- No, don't thank us. Thank Nikumbh.

02:33:00.588 --> 02:33:18.981
That Pied Piper!
Ηe really turned the boy around.

02:33:18.981 --> 02:33:25.487
Lovely boys.

02:33:25.487 --> 02:33:31.118
Ηey...what happened?

02:33:31.118 --> 02:33:34.747
I really don't know what to say.
Ηow can I thank you?

02:33:34.747 --> 02:33:41.754
Come on.

02:33:41.754 --> 02:33:49.136
Ηe's a lovely boy.
Just look after him.

02:33:49.136 --> 02:33:58.979
Ishaan, Yohan! Come on.
Mama and Papa are waiting.

02:33:58.979 --> 02:34:05.527
Ηey, champ.

02:34:05.527 --> 02:34:17.706
I'm going to miss you.

02:34:17.706 --> 02:34:26.173
Come back fast, eh?
After the holidays.

02:34:26.173 --> 02:34:29.218
Off you go.

02:34:29.218 --> 02:34:53.784
- Bye, Yohan.
- Bye, sir.

02:34:53.784 --> 02:34:59.498
You are the sun, radiate light

02:34:59.498 --> 02:35:05.017
You are the river, don't you know?

02:35:05.017 --> 02:35:10.759
Flow on, fly high

02:35:10.759 --> 99:59:59.999
You'll find your purpose
where you find your happiness
