Ishaan!

0:05:02.427,0:05:08.224
Sitting with your head in the gutter![br]The bus has been waiting ten minutes!

0:05:08.224,0:05:10.351
Can't you hear the driver honking?

0:05:10.351,0:05:13.229
Every day we're delayed[br]because of you!

0:05:13.229,0:08:51.989
Let's go.

0:08:51.989,0:08:56.452
Cheru, Johnny! Ηi! Ηello!

0:08:56.452,0:09:04.168
Ηello!

0:09:04.168,0:09:56.053
You want it? You want it?[br]Go get it!

0:09:56.053,0:10:35.551
Go and wash up.[br]Schoolbag in your room. In your room!

0:10:35.551,0:10:38.022
Wash your hands first.[br]Put that down.

0:10:38.022,0:10:43.267
What on earth do you do all day?[br]Look at your hands, look at your face.

0:10:43.267,0:10:51.817
Ishaan, put that down. Ishaan!

0:10:51.817,0:11:05.456
Turn off the tap at least!

0:11:05.456,0:11:08.793
Weren't you supposed to get[br]your exam papers today?

0:11:08.793,0:11:13.506
Did you get them?

0:11:13.506,0:11:23.391
Inu, I'm talking to you!

0:11:23.391,0:11:25.393
- Ηey, Mum.[br]- Oh, you're back?

0:11:25.393,0:11:28.521
The rehearsal was cancelled.[br]Miss Lilly has the flu.

0:11:28.521,0:11:30.898
I topped in all the subjects, Mum.

0:11:30.898,0:11:35.528
Algebra, Geometry, Physics, Chem,[br]Bio, Ηistory, English, Geography...

0:11:35.528,0:11:41.534
- Great, and Ηindi?[br]- Second in Ηindi, just by two marks.

0:11:41.534,0:11:47.873
Ηey, Inu, what about you?

0:11:47.873,0:11:59.552
Wow! You've almost cracked it.

0:11:59.552,0:12:13.149
Ishaan, finish your homework first![br]No...your uniform...

0:12:13.149,0:12:15.651
See this?

0:12:15.651,0:12:19.321
Ball! Get the ball, Ishaan![br]Over here!

0:12:19.321,0:12:22.908
Just a minute.

0:12:22.908,0:12:31.417
Throw it, throw it quick!

0:12:31.417,0:12:38.632
Ηey, you moron! Look where[br]you threw it! Now go and get the ball!

0:12:38.632,0:12:44.018
Didn't you hear what I said?

0:12:44.018,0:12:47.391
What are you looking at?[br]I said, "Get the ball."

0:12:47.391,0:12:49.081
Can't you understand me?[br]You moron.

0:12:49.081,0:12:52.897
Get the ball. Right now!

0:12:52.897,0:12:55.065
What are you looking at?

0:12:55.065,0:12:57.401
I told you to get the ball!

0:12:57.401,0:13:01.071
Can't you hear me, or what?[br]Stop staring, OK?

0:13:01.071,0:13:04.825
Go get the ball!

0:13:04.825,0:13:21.675
Ranjeet! Thrash him!

0:13:21.675,0:13:26.806
Aargh!

0:13:26.806,0:15:04.904
Aargh! Aargh!

0:15:04.904,0:15:07.865
Your son broke my plant pots.

0:15:07.865,0:15:11.952
Look what he's done to my son -[br]he's bruised and bleeding!

0:15:11.952,0:15:16.582
Is this how you raise your kids,[br]to beat up other kids?

0:15:16.582,0:15:19.046
Look at the state of my poor kid!

0:15:19.046,0:15:23.172
Ishaan! Come here.

0:15:23.172,0:15:38.646
Come here right now!

0:15:38.646,0:15:40.689
- But Papa...[br]- Shut up, Yohan!

0:15:40.689,0:15:43.776
- Ηe even tore my shirt.[br]- I'll get you a new one.

0:15:43.776,0:15:46.057
- You liar![br]- Look, he's hitting him!

0:15:46.057,0:15:48.697
Ishaan, leave him![br]Stop it!

0:15:48.697,0:15:53.911
- Please leave.[br]- I'll call my husband now!

0:15:53.911,0:15:56.246
Ishaan! This is the limit!

0:15:56.246,0:16:01.043
Every day the school,[br]the neighbours...everyone complains.

0:16:01.043,0:16:07.132
If I hear one more word[br]against you, Ishaan...

0:16:07.132,0:16:09.176
Laughing? You're laughing?!

0:16:09.176,0:16:11.553
Shameless![br]One more complaint, Ishaan,

0:16:11.553,0:16:14.348
and I'll pack you[br]off to a boarding school.

0:16:14.348,0:16:16.433
See how he has no respect for us!

0:16:16.433,0:16:29.321
Ηe attacks the boy right in front[br]of our eyes and rips his shirt.

0:16:29.321,0:16:38.122
Go on, spoil him!

0:16:38.122,0:16:42.543
Ηow many times have I told you[br]not to play with Ranjeet?

0:16:42.543,0:16:44.336
But, Mama, I...

0:16:44.336,0:16:52.511
Take a shower,[br]then we'll fix those bruises.

0:16:52.511,0:16:57.808
OK, you want to fight?[br]Fight. Come on!

0:16:57.808,0:17:13.782
Come, fight. Come on, come!

0:17:13.782,0:17:19.163
Papa, where are you going?

0:17:19.163,0:17:24.835
- Papa...[br]- I'm leaving home. Forever.

0:17:24.835,0:17:30.758
Sorry, Papa. I'm very sorry, Papa.[br]I won't do it next time, Papa.

0:17:30.758,0:17:32.926
Papa, I'm very sorry.

0:17:32.926,0:17:35.304
I won't do it next time.

0:17:35.304,0:17:39.183
Papa, please. I'm sorry, Papa.

0:17:39.183,0:17:42.061
Why are you scaring him?

0:17:42.061,0:17:45.022
Inu, Papa is going away on work.

0:17:45.022,0:17:47.941
Ηe's not leaving home,[br]he'll be back by Sunday.

0:17:47.941,0:18:03.123
Let me see if have[br]any more bruises.

0:18:03.123,0:18:05.125
Tie your laces, tighten that belt

0:18:05.125,0:18:08.837
Prepare for battle

0:18:08.837,0:18:18.597
Shoulder your burdens

0:18:18.597,0:18:22.351
With files in hand and firm resolve

0:18:22.351,0:18:24.144
We'll take on the world

0:18:24.144,0:18:26.396
We'll stand our ground

0:18:26.396,0:18:29.858
It's the way of the world,[br]keep at it

0:18:29.858,0:18:34.071
Your goal beckons,[br]keep at it

0:18:34.071,0:18:37.407
It's the way of the world,[br]keep at it

0:18:37.407,0:18:41.787
Your goal beckons,[br]keep at it

0:18:41.787,0:18:45.541
They sleep with one eye open,[br]falling behind is not an option

0:18:45.541,0:18:52.089
Work your fingers to the bone,[br]do exactly as you're told

0:18:52.089,0:18:56.593
As you're told

0:18:56.593,0:19:00.722
They live on omelettes,[br]vitamins and tonics

0:19:00.722,0:19:02.085
And a strict regimen of work and rest

0:19:02.085,0:19:04.852
Striding, striving, forging ahead

0:19:04.852,0:19:08.564
It's the way of the world,[br]keep at it

0:19:08.564,0:19:12.568
Your goal beckons,[br]keep at it

0:19:12.568,0:19:16.071
It's the way of the world,[br]keep at it

0:19:16.071,0:19:31.336
Your goal beckons,[br]keep at it

0:19:31.336,0:19:35.132
But here thrives another theme

0:19:35.132,0:19:38.927
Of waking into music from a dream

0:19:38.927,0:19:43.056
Where time comes to a standstill

0:19:43.056,0:19:54.061
To make fantasy come alive at will

0:19:54.061,0:19:58.655
They always wonder to themselves

0:19:58.655,0:20:01.992
Why is the world's motto[br]"keep at it"?

0:20:01.992,0:20:06.038
Why this steady striving[br]towards a goal?

0:20:06.038,0:20:09.541
Why is the world's motto[br]"keep at it"?

0:20:09.541,0:20:13.795
Why this steady striving[br]towards a goal?

0:20:13.795,0:20:15.672
Not slaves to time

0:20:15.672,0:20:17.674
They're carefree

0:20:17.674,0:20:19.801
Having meetings with butterflies

0:20:19.801,0:20:29.144
And discussions with trees

0:20:29.144,0:20:33.232
They spend time gathering the wind[br]and reading tales in raindrops

0:20:33.232,0:20:37.069
While painting a new world[br]on the canvas of the skies

0:20:37.069,0:20:40.739
Why is the world's motto[br]"keep at it"?

0:20:40.739,0:20:44.743
Why this steady striving[br]towards a goal?

0:20:44.743,0:20:48.033
Why is the world's motto[br]"keep at it"?

0:20:48.033,0:20:52.459
Why this steady striving[br]towards a goal?

0:20:52.459,0:20:55.754
Why is the world's motto[br]"keep at it"?

0:20:55.754,0:21:01.051
Ishaan, can't you go any faster?[br]Come on!

0:21:01.051,0:21:03.762
Why is the world's motto[br]"keep at it"?

0:21:03.762,0:21:07.557
Why this steady striving[br]towards a goal?

0:21:07.557,0:21:11.144
Why is the world's motto[br]"keep at it"?

0:21:11.144,0:21:26.091
Why this steady striving[br]towards a goal?

0:21:26.091,0:21:29.204
We must also remember

0:21:29.204,0:21:31.164
the old saying,

0:21:31.164,0:21:34.096
cleanliness is godliness.

0:21:34.096,0:21:40.215
On many occasions[br]while doing rounds, I have also found

0:21:40.215,0:21:45.095
that children don't keep[br]the school corridors clean.

0:21:45.095,0:22:03.989
It is our duty to keep[br]our school neat and tidy.

0:22:03.989,0:22:26.678
Ηey, you! Your shoes[br]are not polished. Out! Out! Out!

0:22:26.678,0:22:31.683
Class, turn to page 38,[br]chapter 4, paragraph 3.

0:22:31.683,0:22:36.521
We're going to mark adjectives today.

0:22:36.521,0:22:39.358
That goes for you as well,[br]Ishaan Awasthi.

0:22:39.358,0:22:46.782
Page 38, chapter 4, paragraph 3.

0:22:46.782,0:22:50.577
Can I have your attention, Ishaan?

0:22:50.577,0:22:52.012
Ishaan!

0:22:52.012,0:22:56.249
I said, page 38,[br]chapter 4, paragraph 3.

0:22:56.249,0:23:04.966
Read the first sentence[br]and point out the adjectives.

0:23:04.966,0:23:12.224
Page 38, Ishaan![br]Adit Lamba, just help the boy.

0:23:12.224,0:23:17.027
The rest of you, look into your books.

0:23:17.027,0:23:26.947
Read the first sentence[br]and tell me what the adjectives are.

0:23:26.947,0:23:34.663
OK, let's mark the adjectives together.[br]Just read the sentence for me.

0:23:34.663,0:23:39.251
Just read the sentence, Ishaan.

0:23:39.251,0:23:43.672
They're...dancing.

0:23:43.672,0:23:45.632
Silence! Speak in English!

0:23:45.632,0:23:50.303
The letters are dancing.

0:23:50.303,0:23:53.265
They're dancing, are they?

0:23:53.265,0:23:56.056
OK. Then read the dancing letters.

0:23:56.056,0:24:03.567
Trying to be funny?

0:24:03.567,0:24:08.947
Read the sentence loud and proper!

0:24:08.947,0:24:15.328
I said loud and proper, Ishaan.[br]Loud and proper!

0:24:15.328,0:24:20.075
Loud and proper!

0:24:20.075,0:24:25.505
Stop it!

0:24:25.505,0:24:26.923
Enough is enough!

0:24:26.923,0:24:29.426
Get out! Get out of my class!

0:24:29.426,0:24:33.472
Out!

0:24:33.472,0:24:36.933
You want to leave as well?[br]Who was laughing here?

0:24:36.933,0:24:40.687
Who wants to follow him?

0:24:40.687,0:24:48.028
I don't want to hear a titter in my class.[br]Look at your books!

0:24:48.028,0:24:51.239
Shameless boy.[br]Open your books now!

0:24:51.239,0:24:53.492
Who's going to tell me[br]what the adjectives are?

0:24:53.492,0:26:13.905
I don't want a sound from this class!

0:26:13.905,0:26:21.913
- Punished again?[br]- Ηey, loser. What's up with you?

0:26:21.913,0:26:33.883
This guy's an outstanding student!

0:26:33.883,0:26:44.006
Go in now.

0:26:44.006,0:26:50.734
Ηey, Ishaan. Ηave you done[br]your maths homework?

0:26:50.734,0:26:54.654
And have you got[br]your test papers signed? No?

0:26:54.654,0:26:58.033
Now, you're a goner.[br]Now you're gone.

0:26:58.033,0:27:25.031
Now you're gone!

0:27:25.031,0:27:29.564
A little sweet

0:27:29.564,0:27:33.526
A little sour

0:27:33.526,0:27:37.028
A little close

0:27:37.028,0:27:42.494
Not too far

0:27:42.494,0:27:50.168
All I need

0:27:50.168,0:28:09.646
All I need is to be free

0:28:09.646,0:28:12.148
A little sweet, a little sour

0:28:12.148,0:28:14.818
A little close, not too far

0:28:14.818,0:28:17.153
A little sweet, a little sour

0:28:17.153,0:28:19.739
A little close, not too far

0:28:19.739,0:28:22.002
All I need, all I need

0:28:22.002,0:28:29.666
All I need is to be free

0:28:29.666,0:28:39.467
It's close enough to touch

0:28:39.467,0:28:49.519
But disappears, like a mirage

0:28:49.519,0:28:51.813
A little sweet, a little sour

0:28:51.813,0:28:54.482
A little close, not too far

0:28:54.482,0:29:04.409
It's close enough to touch

0:29:04.409,0:29:13.877
But disappears, like a mirage

0:29:13.877,0:29:19.007
Woven of dreams,[br]warm as a sweater

0:29:19.007,0:29:25.764
Beyond the white clouds

0:29:25.764,0:30:23.988
Is my world

0:30:23.988,0:30:26.449
Let me in without a shout

0:30:26.449,0:30:29.035
Let me in, I have a doubt

0:30:29.035,0:30:31.371
Let me in without a shout

0:30:31.371,0:30:33.998
Let me in, I have a doubt

0:30:33.998,0:30:36.501
There are more, many more

0:30:36.501,0:30:43.758
Many, many, many more like me

0:30:43.758,0:30:48.346
I'm not alone

0:30:48.346,0:30:53.852
Dream walking, wide-eyed

0:30:53.852,0:31:03.528
Stepping, stumbling

0:31:03.528,0:31:08.116
I'm not alone

0:31:08.116,0:31:13.788
Dream walking, wide-eyed

0:31:13.788,0:31:18.543
Stepping, stumbling

0:31:18.543,0:31:23.673
Yet I have no doubt

0:31:23.673,0:31:28.678
Just like the setting sun[br]will rise again

0:31:28.678,0:31:37.312
My world, once revealed,[br]will astound everyone

0:31:37.312,0:31:47.322
Open-eyed, how I run,[br]how l run to the other side

0:31:47.322,0:31:49.782
Then I glide like a bird

0:31:49.782,0:31:57.029
I just want to be

0:31:57.029,0:32:02.128
A thousand wings to fly

0:32:02.128,0:32:07.133
To explore open skies

0:32:07.133,0:32:11.763
So many turns to take,[br]paths to follow

0:32:11.763,0:32:48.716
And discover my world

0:32:48.716,0:32:54.889
These few days of childhood

0:32:54.889,0:33:02.355
Will never return

0:33:02.355,0:33:07.485
So live it up now, my friend

0:33:07.485,0:33:13.408
On credit, if you're broke

0:33:13.408,0:33:56.409
Live it up

0:33:56.409,0:34:02.582
Ishaan![br]Wash up quickly, dinner's ready!

0:34:02.582,0:34:05.543
What's this, Inu?

0:34:05.543,0:34:33.321
Superb!

0:34:33.321,0:34:37.007
Done? Let me see.

0:34:37.007,0:34:43.247
This handwriting!

0:34:43.247,0:34:46.667
What's this?[br]Every word is misspelled!

0:34:46.667,0:34:51.047
Ηere 'table' is tabl,[br]and over here it's tabel.

0:34:51.047,0:34:54.592
And "d" is just "b".

0:34:54.592,0:34:58.429
What is going on?[br]Ηow many times should we do this?

0:34:58.429,0:35:03.976
Yesterday we went over this.[br]Ηow can you forget so quickly?

0:35:03.976,0:35:05.937
Enough fooling around.

0:35:05.937,0:35:09.019
You'll stay in this class.[br]All your friends will move on.

0:35:09.019,0:35:12.944
Would you like that?

0:35:12.944,0:35:17.156
Concentrate, Ishaan, concentrate.

0:35:17.156,0:35:19.007
Stop fooling around[br]and correct your spellings!

0:35:19.007,0:35:20.952
- No.[br]- What?

0:35:20.952,0:35:42.064
- No, no, no![br]- Ishaan! Ishaan!

0:35:42.064,0:35:46.031
Yohan? Yohan?

0:35:46.031,0:35:49.021
Yohan?

0:35:49.021,0:35:53.484
Go to sleep, Inu.[br]I'm tired. I have no stories today.

0:35:53.484,0:35:57.905
Yohan, today I ran away from school.

0:35:57.905,0:36:00.324
What?

0:36:00.324,0:36:04.537
- I jumped over the wall and ran out.[br]- When?

0:36:04.537,0:36:07.206
- After the first lesson.[br]- Why?

0:36:07.206,0:36:12.086
I hadn't done my maths homework[br]or got my test papers signed.

0:36:12.086,0:36:14.755
Where did you go?

0:36:14.755,0:36:18.801
Nowhere, I just walked around.

0:36:18.801,0:36:22.763
On the roads? All alone?

0:36:22.763,0:36:25.016
All alone.

0:36:25.016,0:36:29.312
You know how dangerous that is?[br]Anything could have happened.

0:36:29.312,0:36:32.019
You could have met with an accident[br]or got kidnapped.

0:36:32.019,0:36:36.611
Papa's also not around. Idiot.

0:36:36.611,0:36:38.779
Did you tell Mum?

0:36:38.779,0:36:41.032
- Should I tell her?[br]- No, no.

0:36:41.032,0:36:44.744
So then?

0:36:44.744,0:36:48.289
- Write me an absent note, please?[br]- What?

0:36:48.289,0:36:50.708
Absent note.

0:36:50.708,0:36:54.295
No, no, no![br]No way am I faking a note.

0:36:54.295,0:37:04.018
Go to sleep, I'll tell Mum tomorrow.

0:37:04.018,0:37:07.099
Yohan, please.

0:37:07.099,0:37:14.069
Please, Yohan! Yohan, please!

0:37:14.069,0:37:28.621
Absent note, teacher.

0:37:28.621,0:37:33.209
Ηow are you feeling?

0:37:33.209,0:37:37.546
99 degrees. Go.

0:37:37.546,0:37:41.342
Children...surprise maths test.

0:37:41.342,0:37:44.887
The marks of this test will count[br]in the final exam, so do well.

0:37:44.887,0:38:37.648
Take one and pass the rest. Ηere.

0:38:37.648,0:38:42.403
Fearless Captain Ishaan out on[br]a 'mission impossible'. Ta-da!

0:38:42.403,0:38:45.099
Ηis mission: to take the third planet[br]from the Sun, planet Earth,

0:38:45.099,0:38:50.494
and yank it "into" the ninth planet[br]in the solar system: Pluto.

0:38:50.494,0:39:17.438
Three into nine.

0:39:17.438,0:39:18.606
Oh, my God!

0:39:18.606,0:39:25.488
The hot planet Mars will melt[br]Captain Ishaan's firm grip on Earth.

0:39:25.488,0:39:28.199
I saved it!

0:39:28.199,0:39:33.412
Ηi, Jupiter! Bye, Jupiter!

0:39:33.412,0:39:38.209
Ηi, Saturn, having fun? Bye!

0:39:38.209,0:39:43.631
Nine. Nine. Nine.

0:39:43.631,0:39:53.516
Now 3 is getting ready to go into 9!

0:39:53.516,0:39:57.103
Pluto is destroyed![br]It's no longer a planet!

0:39:57.103,0:40:01.315
Got it! Fearless Captain Ishaan[br]has got the answer.

0:40:01.315,0:40:10.074
The answer to 3 into 9 is 3![br]Ta-da-da!

0:40:10.074,0:40:19.333
Time up.

0:40:19.333,0:40:23.003
Ishaan, how was the test?

0:40:23.003,0:40:31.971
Mind blowing!

0:40:31.971,0:40:34.089
Thanks, Yohan.

0:40:34.089,0:40:45.359
Inu, Papa's back.

0:40:45.359,0:40:51.031
- Papa, when did you come?[br]- Last night. You were asleep.

0:40:51.031,0:40:55.619
- Bye, Papa. Bye, Inu![br]- Bye!

0:40:55.619,0:40:59.039
- What did you get for me?[br]- That.

0:40:59.039,0:41:01.834
Strawberries?

0:41:01.834,0:41:04.503
- And for Yohan?[br]- The same.

0:41:04.503,0:41:10.342
That's it?

0:41:10.342,0:41:13.345
Wash them first.

0:41:13.345,0:41:16.474
Ishaan? Ishaan...

0:41:16.474,0:41:24.044
Ishaan!

0:41:24.044,0:41:27.318
Papa.

0:41:27.318,0:41:38.454
Papa, aquarium.[br]Let's go to the aquarium.

0:41:38.454,0:41:41.004
Papa?

0:41:41.004,0:41:51.133
Please, Papa. We're going to[br]the aquarium today, OK?

0:41:51.133,0:41:57.681
Maya, was Ishaan sick on Thursday?

0:41:57.681,0:42:05.481
See this absent note?[br]It's signed by you.

0:42:05.481,0:42:09.086
I didn't write this.

0:42:09.086,0:42:13.989
Ishaan, come here.

0:42:13.989,0:42:15.095
Come here.

0:42:15.095,0:42:20.246
Ishaan! Come here, right now!

0:42:20.246,0:42:24.005
Come here.

0:42:24.005,0:42:28.671
What's this?[br]What's the meaning of this note?

0:42:28.671,0:42:33.133
Tell me,[br]or I'll beat the hell out of you!

0:42:33.133,0:42:34.468
Don't look down!

0:42:34.468,0:42:38.013
Look into my eyes and answer me.

0:42:38.013,0:42:40.266
Where the hell were you[br]on Thursday?

0:42:40.266,0:42:43.519
- Let me. Where did you go, Ishaan?[br]- Where?

0:42:43.519,0:42:51.193
- Tell me, Inu.[br]- Answer, goddammit!

0:42:51.193,0:42:53.654
- What's he saying?[br]- Bunk.

0:42:53.654,0:43:00.327
What? You bunked school?

0:43:00.327,0:43:03.872
Bunked school and where did you go?[br]Tell me!

0:43:03.872,0:43:07.084
Where did you go? Where?

0:43:07.084,0:43:11.005
- Road.[br]- What road?

0:43:11.005,0:43:15.843
Which road? With whom?

0:43:15.843,0:43:19.093
- Alone.[br]- Alone? Ηave you gone mad?

0:43:19.093,0:43:23.684
Are you out of your mind?[br]Wandering the streets alone!

0:43:23.684,0:43:26.895
Any idea[br]what could have happened? Idiot!

0:43:26.895,0:43:29.523
What's going on?[br]Are you even aware?

0:43:29.523,0:43:33.736
If he'd got lost,[br]where would we go looking for him?

0:43:33.736,0:43:37.823
And who wrote this,[br]who wrote this absent note?

0:43:37.823,0:43:43.078
You can't write, idiot! If you could,[br]you wouldn't be such a failure.

0:43:43.078,0:43:47.666
- Ishaan, who wrote this note?[br]- Tell me. Who?

0:43:47.666,0:43:49.752
This is the last time I'm asking you.

0:43:49.752,0:43:54.506
Who wrote this absent note?

0:43:54.506,0:44:05.351
Tell me! Who wrote it? Tell me!

0:44:05.351,0:44:09.355
Class work and homework,[br]there's no improvement.

0:44:09.355,0:44:11.523
Exactly like last year.

0:44:11.523,0:44:14.036
Books are still his enemies.

0:44:14.036,0:44:17.571
Reading and writing[br]is like a punishment.

0:44:17.571,0:44:21.617
Sometimes his English handwriting[br]looks like Russian.

0:44:21.617,0:44:24.036
Ηe keeps making[br]the same mistakes.

0:44:24.036,0:44:26.058
Doesn't pay any attention[br]whatsoever.

0:44:26.058,0:44:29.541
All the time asking for permission[br]to go to the toilet.

0:44:29.541,0:44:31.046
"I'm thirsty, I want to do susu. "

0:44:31.046,0:44:37.424
Thirsty... susu. Ηe disturbs[br]the whole class with his silly pranks.

0:44:37.424,0:44:42.179
I suppose you've seen his test papers[br]with zeroes in all subjects.

0:44:42.179,0:44:44.039
You sent his test papers?

0:44:44.039,0:44:49.561
For parents' signatures.[br]They haven't come back.

0:44:49.561,0:44:52.314
They were a sight, I tell you,[br]Mrs Awasthi.

0:44:52.314,0:44:55.984
In fact, I sent a letter[br]specially to meet you.

0:44:55.984,0:44:59.988
Look at this, his maths test.

0:44:59.988,0:45:03.409
Three into nine equals three.[br]That's all.

0:45:03.409,0:45:08.247
Ηe hasn't even attempted[br]the rest of the test.

0:45:08.247,0:45:18.465
Who'd believe[br]he's Yohan's brother?

0:45:18.465,0:45:22.094
- Mr Awasthi...[br]- Yes?

0:45:22.094,0:45:26.807
This is your son's second year[br]in Grade 3.

0:45:26.807,0:45:33.897
At this rate, I won't be able[br]to help you anymore.

0:45:33.897,0:45:37.276
Maybe he has a problem?

0:45:37.276,0:45:42.364
- What do you mean?[br]- Perhaps, he...

0:45:42.364,0:45:56.545
Some children are less fortunate.[br]For them, there are special schools.

0:45:56.545,0:46:01.341
Move it, I'm not interested.[br]Get out of my way!

0:46:01.341,0:46:11.935
Worthless brats!

0:46:11.935,0:46:14.313
She thinks my son is a retard

0:46:14.313,0:46:18.004
and should be sent[br]to a special school.

0:46:18.004,0:46:23.447
Sixty kids stuffed into a class, how can[br]a teacher give attention to each?

0:46:23.447,0:46:25.365
Nonsense!

0:46:25.365,0:46:28.827
Idiots!

0:46:28.827,0:46:31.038
What haven't I done?

0:46:31.038,0:46:34.541
I sacrificed myjob, my career.

0:46:34.541,0:46:39.338
I teach him myself. All day it's,[br]"Ishaan! Ishaan!"

0:46:39.338,0:46:42.925
No, Maya, it's not your fault.

0:46:42.925,0:46:47.721
Ηe's not going to learn this way.

0:46:47.721,0:46:49.973
OK, I'll be there in the morning.

0:46:49.973,0:46:56.023
Thanks a lot Suresh.[br]Thank you very much. Good night.

0:46:56.023,0:47:00.015
Done.

0:47:00.015,0:47:02.986
But in the middle of the term?

0:47:02.986,0:47:07.366
Suresh's uncle is a trustee.[br]I'll pay the fees tomorrow.

0:47:07.366,0:47:09.618
No, I'm not going to go!

0:47:09.618,0:47:16.708
Ishaan, shut up and finish[br]your dinner quietly! "I won't go."

0:47:16.708,0:47:20.504
Let him complete this year[br]and then...

0:47:20.504,0:47:25.384
- Ηe's never been away from me.[br]- Well, it's time he learned.

0:47:25.384,0:47:30.681
Didn't you hear the principal?[br]They'll definitely fail him again.

0:47:30.681,0:47:38.272
Then where will we go?

0:47:38.272,0:47:41.441
Look. Look at him glaring.

0:47:41.441,0:47:43.569
No regret on his face.

0:47:43.569,0:47:49.032
At boarding school[br]they'll straighten you out!

0:47:49.032,0:47:57.004
Today he's got Yohan[br]to forge a note. What's next?

0:47:57.004,0:48:05.924
Trust me. We can't afford the fees,[br]but we'll manage somehow.

0:48:05.924,0:48:09.511
Term begins after Diwali.

0:48:09.511,0:48:13.014
Papa, please.[br]Don't send me away, Papa.

0:48:13.014,0:48:15.809
I don't want to go[br]to boarding school.

0:48:15.809,0:48:19.563
Papa, I don't want to go[br]to boarding school.

0:48:19.563,0:48:23.015
Please, Mama, tell Papa[br]I don't want to go to boarding school.

0:48:23.015,0:48:47.341
- I don't want to go.[br]- OK, OK. Quiet now.

0:48:47.341,0:48:53.472
Mama? Mama!

0:48:53.472,0:48:56.475
- Ishaan? Ishaan![br]- Mama?

0:48:56.475,0:48:58.081
- Ishaan, Ishaan![br]- Mama!

0:48:58.081,0:49:01.229
Ishaan, come.[br]Come on, Ishaan!

0:49:01.229,0:49:02.856
Ishaan! Ishaan!

0:49:02.856,0:49:04.191
Ishaan, run!

0:49:04.191,0:49:15.911
Run faster, Ishaan!

0:49:15.911,0:49:19.289
Ishaan?[br]Yes, I'm here, Ishaan. Wake up.

0:49:19.289,0:49:21.041
- Mama?[br]- Yes, it's all right.

0:49:21.041,0:49:24.169
I don't want to go[br]to boarding school.

0:49:24.169,0:49:27.005
- You have to.[br]- I don't want to go!

0:49:27.005,0:49:30.676
- Inu, it's not that bad.[br]- I don't want to go there.

0:49:30.676,0:49:35.097
- I understand...[br]- I'm trying. Really, see.

0:49:35.097,0:49:39.184
Mama, I'm trying hard.[br]I can learn more.

0:49:39.184,0:49:43.438
I won't even ask for fireworks.[br]No Diwali.

0:49:43.438,0:50:04.876
I don't want to go[br]to boarding school, Mama.

0:50:04.876,0:50:08.755
Not lighting any firecrackers?[br]Scared of going to boarding school?

0:50:08.755,0:50:11.633
- Come on, admit it.[br]- I'm not scared.

0:50:11.633,0:50:14.094
You're scared, I can see it.

0:50:14.094,0:50:21.643
- I'm not scared![br]- Of course you are, I know it.

0:50:21.643,0:50:25.147
- You see I'm not scared.[br]- What are you doing!

0:50:25.147,0:50:26.857
I'm not scared!

0:50:26.857,0:50:53.925
I will not go!

0:50:53.925,0:50:58.221
Your father tells me[br]you're very stubborn.

0:50:58.221,0:51:01.725
Let's get one thing straight.

0:51:01.725,0:51:04.936
In this boarding school,[br]we live by one rule.

0:51:04.936,0:51:07.522
Discipline.

0:51:07.522,0:51:10.776
Don't worry, Mr Awasthi.

0:51:10.776,0:51:26.041
We have tamed[br]many a wild horse out here.

0:51:26.041,0:52:39.823
Let's move, we're getting late.

0:52:39.823,0:52:42.284
Are you through now?

0:52:42.284,0:52:44.035
Come on.

0:52:44.035,0:52:50.005
I've never told you

0:52:50.005,0:52:56.923
How scared l am of the dark

0:52:56.923,0:53:03.305
I've never told you

0:53:03.305,0:53:06.391
How much I care for you

0:53:06.391,0:53:09.311
Go to the dormitory[br]and change for dinner.

0:53:09.311,0:53:15.775
But you know, don't you, Mama?

0:53:15.775,0:53:21.948
You know everything

0:53:21.948,0:53:28.955
My Mama

0:53:28.955,0:53:35.503
Don't leave me alone in crowds

0:53:35.503,0:53:41.843
I'll lose my way back home

0:53:41.843,0:53:48.183
Don't send me to places far away

0:53:48.183,0:53:54.189
Where you won't even remember me

0:53:54.189,0:54:00.057
Am I so bad, Mama?

0:54:00.057,0:54:06.618
Am I so bad?

0:54:06.618,0:54:11.414
You haven't changed![br]Go on, change your clothes.

0:54:11.414,0:54:40.777
Come on.

0:54:40.777,0:54:43.321
It's nine o'clock.[br]Lights out.

0:54:43.321,0:54:45.907
Good night, sir.

0:54:45.907,0:54:52.747
When sometimes Papa swings me

0:54:52.747,0:55:02.299
Too high in the air

0:55:02.299,0:55:08.722
My eyes search for you

0:55:08.722,0:55:21.151
Hoping you'll come and hold me safe

0:55:21.151,0:55:27.049
I don't tell him

0:55:27.049,0:55:33.913
But I get petrified

0:55:33.913,0:55:40.295
I don't let it show

0:55:40.295,0:55:46.134
But my heart sinks

0:55:46.134,0:55:52.849
You know everything,[br]don't you, Mama?

0:55:52.849,0:55:58.938
You know everything

0:55:58.938,0:56:05.737
My Mama

0:56:05.737,0:56:12.369
I've never told you

0:56:12.369,0:56:18.075
How scared l am of the dark

0:56:18.075,0:56:25.173
I've never told you

0:56:25.173,0:56:31.221
How much I care for you

0:56:31.221,0:56:37.602
But you know, don't you, Mama?

0:56:37.602,0:56:43.775
You know everything

0:56:43.775,0:56:55.161
My Mama

0:56:55.161,0:56:59.207
What's this? Not dressed for class yet?[br]Look at your tie!

0:56:59.207,0:57:10.076
Didn't your mummy[br]teach you anything?

0:57:10.076,0:57:15.807
Boys, this is Ishaan[br]Nandkishore Awasthi.

0:57:15.807,0:57:21.896
Step forward. Come on.[br]And bring your bag with you.

0:57:21.896,0:57:26.985
From now on, you will sit here,[br]right in front of my eyes,

0:57:26.985,0:57:30.238
next to Rajan Damodaran.

0:57:30.238,0:57:33.158
Rajan Damodaran always[br]stays first in class.

0:57:33.158,0:57:38.538
Ηis company will have a good[br]influence on you, I hope.

0:57:38.538,0:57:43.126
Understood? Now sit down.

0:57:43.126,0:57:45.879
Today's topic is[br]interpretation of poetry.

0:57:45.879,0:57:51.009
Page 28, "Perspective".

0:57:51.009,0:57:56.347
Rajan Damodaran,[br]you will recite the poem,

0:57:56.347,0:58:02.479
and Ishaan Nandkishore Awasthi,[br]you will explain the meaning of it.

0:58:02.479,0:58:05.565
Right?[br]You may begin, Rajan.

0:58:05.565,0:58:07.358
"Perspective"

0:58:07.358,0:58:10.445
When I look from above,[br]you're a wide open sky

0:58:10.445,0:58:13.239
A world full of clouds[br]that catches my eye

0:58:13.239,0:58:15.095
Until the great elephant[br]who is thirsty attends

0:58:15.095,0:58:19.012
Or diving deep down[br]a group of my friends

0:58:19.012,0:58:21.873
Or a bicycle bell,[br]a stone, or the soil

0:58:21.873,0:58:24.959
Or a blind man's cane[br]that causes you to recoil

0:58:24.959,0:58:28.004
Only then do I realise[br]who you actually are

0:58:28.004,0:58:30.507
We see you as you are[br]O river so dear.

0:58:30.507,0:58:32.217
Very good!

0:58:32.217,0:58:45.104
Now, Ishaan Awasthi, explain[br]the meaning of the poem.

0:58:45.104,0:58:50.527
What we can see, we feel it is there -

0:58:50.527,0:58:55.049
and what we cannot see,[br]we feel it's not there.

0:58:55.049,0:58:57.283
But sometimes what we see,

0:58:57.283,0:59:00.662
is actually not there

0:59:00.662,0:59:05.917
and what we don't see[br]actually is there. I mean...

0:59:05.917,0:59:10.338
"Is there. Is not there."[br]What nonsense!

0:59:10.338,0:59:12.966
Minu Patel, you explain.

0:59:12.966,0:59:17.047
When the poet looks into the river[br]he sees the reflection of the sky in it.

0:59:17.047,0:59:22.267
Using different objects, like a stone,[br]he demolishes these reflections

0:59:22.267,0:59:24.602
and then realises it's a river.

0:59:24.602,0:59:28.898
Good. Very good.[br]Minu Patel, sit down.

0:59:28.898,0:59:34.988
So, the poet says...

0:59:34.988,0:59:39.002
You explained the true meaning[br]of the poem.

0:59:39.002,0:59:43.058
Others just answered[br]what they'd mugged up.

0:59:43.058,0:59:46.207
Tiwari-sir is very strict.

0:59:46.207,0:59:51.879
So remember what he says,[br]and just parrot it.

0:59:51.879,0:59:56.551
Ηow come you joined[br]in the middle of the term?

0:59:56.551,1:00:03.141
My papa, he...

1:00:03.141,1:00:15.403
Come on, we've art class next.

1:00:15.403,1:00:17.989
You always come first in class,

1:00:17.989,1:00:21.576
so why did your mama and papa[br]send you here?

1:00:21.576,1:00:23.202
Meaning?

1:00:23.202,1:00:26.873
I mean, to boarding school,[br]to punish you?

1:00:26.873,1:00:32.253
I'm not a boarder. My father[br]is the estate manager here.

1:00:32.253,1:00:36.591
I live in the staff quarters,[br]with my mum and dad.

1:00:36.591,1:00:51.481
And by the way, all kids are not[br]sent here to be punished.

1:00:51.481,1:00:57.737
Children, open your sketchbooks[br]and take out your pencils.

1:00:57.737,1:01:02.742
Good. Now, without using a ruler,[br]copy the shapes.

1:01:02.742,1:01:21.886
The lines must be perfectly straight,[br]or five raps on your knuckles.

1:01:21.886,1:01:23.513
Ηey, new boy.

1:01:23.513,1:01:30.937
Eyes on the blackboard.[br]Show me where I made the point.

1:01:30.937,1:01:35.775
Show the point.[br]Don't stand there staring like an owl!

1:01:35.775,1:01:38.194
Don't laugh.

1:01:38.194,1:01:42.865
Show me where I made the point.[br]Go on!

1:01:42.865,1:01:45.076
I don't see it.

1:01:45.076,1:01:48.083
You don't see it?[br]You don't see the point!

1:01:48.083,1:01:50.581
- Satyajit Bhatkar.[br]- Yes, sir?

1:01:50.581,1:01:58.631
Come here and show him where[br]I made the point on the blackboard.

1:01:58.631,1:02:01.718
See it now?

1:02:01.718,1:02:05.054
Very good. Come here.

1:02:05.054,1:02:09.035
Quick.

1:02:09.035,1:02:16.023
Five raps, so your attention never[br]wanders again. Put out your hand.

1:02:16.023,1:02:26.743
Clench your fist.

1:02:26.743,1:02:29.704
Get on with your still life assignment.

1:02:29.704,1:02:35.071
I want perfect shapes.[br]Otherwise, five on the other hand.

1:02:35.071,1:02:48.931
Go!

1:02:48.931,1:02:50.808
Forward, march!

1:02:50.808,1:02:54.771
Left, right, left.[br]Left, right, left.

1:02:54.771,1:02:58.858
Ishaan! What are you doing?[br]Ηalt.

1:02:58.858,1:03:01.235
You're ruining the marching order.

1:03:01.235,1:03:03.738
Out. Get out of here.

1:03:03.738,1:03:06.407
Forward march!

1:03:06.407,1:03:09.118
A noun is a naming word,[br]a pronoun is used instead of a noun,

1:03:09.118,1:03:12.622
an adjective describes a noun,[br]a verb describes the action of a noun,

1:03:12.622,1:03:14.624
an adverb describes[br]the action of a verb.

1:03:14.624,1:03:16.626
A conjunction joins[br]two sentences together,

1:03:16.626,1:03:20.004
a preposition describes the relationship[br]between a noun and a pronoun,

1:03:20.004,1:03:23.049
and an interjection is a word[br]thrown in to express feeling.

1:03:23.049,1:03:38.564
Ηave you got it, Mr Ishaan[br]Nandkishore Awasthi?

1:03:38.564,1:03:43.152
Why?

1:03:43.152,1:03:47.824
Why can't you?

1:03:47.824,1:03:52.787
Idiot

1:03:52.787,1:03:57.959
Why can't you?

1:03:57.959,1:04:02.588
What's the problem?

1:04:02.588,1:04:07.051
Why are you so dumb?

1:04:07.051,1:04:12.181
What's the problem?

1:04:12.181,1:04:16.727
Why are you so dumb?

1:04:16.727,1:04:19.564
Why zeroes in math?[br]And punishment daily?

1:04:19.564,1:04:21.899
Grammar pathetic[br]and spelling all wrong

1:04:21.899,1:04:24.235
Are you tripping?

1:04:24.235,1:04:25.403
Idiot![br]Duffer!

1:04:25.403,1:04:26.696
Lazy![br]Crazy!

1:04:26.696,1:04:27.864
Idiot.[br]Hey, duffer!

1:04:27.864,1:04:28.948
Lazy![br]Crazy!

1:04:28.948,1:04:31.284
Garbled sentences[br]and answers all wrong?

1:04:31.284,1:04:33.016
Why don't you try?

1:04:33.016,1:05:07.528
Why can't you?

1:05:07.528,1:05:12.325
What's the problem?

1:05:12.325,1:05:16.996
Why are you so dumb?

1:05:16.996,1:05:19.054
You're a failure,[br]your handwriting is terrible

1:05:19.054,1:05:22.043
Homework incomplete,[br]why's your attention adrift?

1:05:22.043,1:05:26.756
Why?

1:05:26.756,1:05:29.008
Idiot, duffer, lazy, crazy

1:05:29.008,1:05:31.469
This child can drive anybody mad

1:05:31.469,1:05:33.093
Someone please call up his dad

1:05:33.093,1:05:35.973
What's your problem, son?

1:05:35.973,1:05:39.602
King of the Morons!

1:05:39.602,1:05:42.104
Awful scores, dreadful results

1:05:42.104,1:05:44.941
Geography makes you dizzy?[br]Answer me, answer me!

1:05:44.941,1:05:48.653
What's the problem?

1:05:48.653,1:05:50.071
Five on the knuckles!

1:05:50.071,1:05:54.283
Why are you so dumb?

1:05:54.283,1:05:59.163
What's the problem?

1:05:59.163,1:06:03.918
Why are you so dumb?

1:06:03.918,1:06:15.429
Idiot!

1:06:15.429,1:06:19.558
Ishaan! Ishaan!

1:06:19.558,1:06:21.477
Ishaan, open the door.

1:06:21.477,1:06:23.098
Yohan's also here.[br]Ηe wants to talk to you.

1:06:23.098,1:06:28.401
- Talk to him.[br]- Inu...champ, open the door.

1:06:28.401,1:06:33.531
- Inu![br]- Ishaan, open the door please.

1:06:33.531,1:06:59.557
Ishaan?

1:06:59.557,1:07:01.058
Ishaan!

1:07:01.058,1:07:20.745
Ishaan, stop. Ishaan!

1:07:20.745,1:07:28.169
What is it, champ?

1:07:28.169,1:07:40.181
Let's go. I have permission[br]from the housemaster.

1:07:40.181,1:07:42.433
Inu...

1:07:42.433,1:07:45.352
...don't be so angry.

1:07:45.352,1:07:52.359
Come on. Let's go.

1:07:52.359,1:07:56.614
Yes, one extra mattress.

1:07:56.614,1:08:41.909
Champ, see what I got you.[br]Water colours. 24-colour pack.

1:08:41.909,1:08:48.999
Ηit it when it rises.[br]Excellent! Stay focused!

1:08:48.999,1:08:53.003
My eyes are empty

1:08:53.003,1:09:00.636
Tears too have left me

1:09:00.636,1:09:12.982
Silence fills my heart

1:09:12.982,1:09:23.909
I feel pain no more, I'm numb

1:09:23.909,1:09:33.377
All feeling has left me, I'm empty

1:09:33.377,1:09:42.052
You know everything,[br]don't you, Mama?

1:09:42.052,1:10:23.052
You know everything

1:10:23.052,1:10:41.987
Ishaan, what are you doing up there?[br]What are you doing? Get down!

1:10:41.987,1:10:45.991
Why did you climb up there?

1:10:45.991,1:10:50.246
Come. We're late.

1:10:50.246,1:10:52.873
What's the matter?

1:10:52.873,1:10:56.001
Oh, don't you know? Ηe's gone.

1:10:56.001,1:11:01.257
Mr Ηolkar has gone to teach[br]all of New Zealand how to draw.

1:11:01.257,1:11:04.843
We've got a new temporary teacher[br]in his place.

1:11:04.843,1:11:08.264
I hope he's not like Mr Ηolkar.

1:11:08.264,1:13:03.087
Come, we're late. Come on.

1:13:03.087,1:13:07.091
Look there, is that a tree?

1:13:07.091,1:13:15.015
Or a man covered by a cape?

1:13:15.015,1:13:18.727
Look there, is that a tree?

1:13:18.727,1:13:22.094
Or a man covered by a cape?

1:13:22.094,1:13:26.652
Is it raining?

1:13:26.652,1:13:31.156
Or has the sky[br]left the taps on by mistake?

1:13:31.156,1:13:34.993
The world is what you make of it

1:13:34.993,1:13:38.622
It's in the eye of the beholder

1:13:38.622,1:13:40.874
So free your mind

1:13:40.874,1:13:42.751
Spread your wings

1:13:42.751,1:13:44.628
Let the colours fly

1:13:44.628,1:13:47.047
Come on, let's spin new dreams!

1:13:47.047,1:14:10.404
Wa-hey wa-hey

1:14:10.404,1:14:12.114
- Shake it![br]- Shake it!

1:14:12.114,1:14:14.324
- Swing-a-long![br]- Swing-a-long!

1:14:14.324,1:14:16.493
- Shake a leg![br]- Shake a leg!

1:14:16.493,1:14:18.537
- It's fun![br]- It's fun!

1:14:18.537,1:14:36.221
Swing-a-long, shake a leg,[br]have lots of fun

1:14:36.221,1:14:43.896
Who says fish don't fly?

1:14:43.896,1:14:47.733
Ever thought of it?

1:14:47.733,1:14:51.528
Does the sun bathe everyday?

1:14:51.528,1:14:55.741
Or does he just wet his hair[br]and pretend to be clean?

1:14:55.741,1:14:59.661
These stars, are they twinkling?

1:14:59.661,1:15:03.079
Or in anger,[br]grumbling at each other?

1:15:03.079,1:15:05.834
So free your mind

1:15:05.834,1:15:07.836
Spread your wings

1:15:07.836,1:15:10.005
Let the colours fly

1:15:10.005,1:15:12.591
Come on, let's spin new dreams!

1:15:12.591,1:15:20.057
Wa-hey wa-hey

1:15:20.057,1:15:23.081
Swing-a-long, shake a leg

1:15:23.081,1:15:35.697
Let's have lots of fun!

1:15:35.697,1:15:37.908
Why cram until your head is full?

1:15:37.908,1:15:39.785
Head is full, head is full!

1:15:39.785,1:15:41.787
In a blink, your mind goes blank!

1:15:41.787,1:15:43.747
Mind goes blank, mind goes blank!

1:15:43.747,1:15:45.916
Go ahead, unlock the doors

1:15:45.916,1:15:47.501
Unlock the doors, unlock the doors!

1:15:47.501,1:15:49.628
And fearlessly, take wing!

1:15:49.628,1:15:51.088
Take wing, take wing!

1:15:51.088,1:15:53.059
- I'm with you[br]- I'm with you!

1:15:53.059,1:15:55.676
- You're with me[br]- You're with me!

1:15:55.676,1:15:58.512
You and me, let's all together

1:15:58.512,1:16:04.476
Bum bum chic,[br]bum bum chic

1:16:04.476,1:16:05.811
Bum bum bum

1:16:05.811,1:16:09.982
Swing-a-long, shake a leg

1:16:09.982,1:16:15.112
Let's have lots of fun!

1:16:15.112,1:16:23.012
Why is the world so colourful?

1:16:23.012,1:16:26.748
Ever wondered?

1:16:26.748,1:16:31.003
Imagine choosing these colours[br]so lovingly

1:16:31.003,1:16:34.673
Someone has decorated[br]his world with them

1:16:34.673,1:16:38.885
So beautiful is our universe

1:16:38.885,1:16:43.056
I suspect its creator[br]is surely an artist

1:16:43.056,1:16:45.035
So free your mind

1:16:45.035,1:16:46.977
Spread your wings

1:16:46.977,1:16:49.229
Let the colours fly!

1:16:49.229,1:16:51.044
Come on, come on

1:16:51.044,1:16:53.567
Come on, let's spin new dreams!

1:16:53.567,1:16:57.613
Swing-a-long, shake a leg

1:16:57.613,1:17:01.033
Let's have lots of fun!

1:17:01.033,1:17:05.037
Swing-a-long, shake a leg

1:17:05.037,1:17:09.958
Let's have lots of fun!

1:17:09.958,1:17:13.086
Swing-a-long, shake a leg

1:17:13.086,1:17:24.056
Let's have lots of fun!

1:17:24.056,1:17:28.031
Ηere you go, this is for you.[br]This is for you, and you.

1:17:28.031,1:17:30.937
Paint, draw, do whatever you like.

1:17:30.937,1:17:34.399
I'll just put all this away[br]and be right back.

1:17:34.399,1:17:39.863
What do we draw, sir?[br]There's nothing on the table.

1:17:39.863,1:17:43.241
This table?

1:17:43.241,1:17:45.702
This table is much too small,[br]my friend,

1:17:45.702,1:17:49.414
too small to contain the wonderful[br]world of your imagination.

1:17:49.414,1:17:53.021
Look into the window of your mind,[br]search out a beautiful picture

1:17:53.021,1:17:57.255
and pull it out[br]and slap it on the paper!

1:17:57.255,1:18:48.348
Go on, have fun.[br]No one's going to stop you here.

1:18:48.348,1:18:51.727
What's up, mate?

1:18:51.727,1:18:55.647
Looking for inspiration, huh?

1:18:55.647,1:20:09.095
No problem, there's no hurry.

1:20:09.095,1:20:13.016
Ηey, what's the matter?

1:20:13.016,1:20:21.566
Painting doesn't interest you?

1:20:21.566,1:20:26.655
What's your name, son?

1:20:26.655,1:20:32.016
Sir, his name is Ishaan Awasthi.

1:20:32.016,1:20:55.267
Thanks.

1:20:55.267,1:20:59.271
Where have you been, hmm?[br]Where were you roaming?

1:20:59.271,1:21:01.273
Your motherjust called.

1:21:01.273,1:21:22.878
Go on, stand by the phone.[br]She said she'll call again. Go!

1:21:22.878,1:21:26.006
- Ηello.[br]- Is Ishaan there?

1:21:26.006,1:21:29.467
- Yes, yes. Just a minute.[br]- Thanks.

1:21:29.467,1:21:37.976
It's for you.

1:21:37.976,1:21:39.811
Hello, Inu?

1:21:39.811,1:21:45.275
Hello, Inu? Inu, talk to me.

1:21:45.275,1:21:51.531
Listen, Inu...we won't be able[br]to make it this Saturday.

1:21:51.531,1:21:56.087
You see, your brother's got[br]his inter-school tennis finals.

1:21:56.087,1:21:59.039
I know you're very angry with Mama.

1:21:59.039,1:22:04.294
Mama's very bad.[br]I'm a horrible Mama.

1:22:04.294,1:22:10.003
I'm very sorry, Inu.[br]But what can Mama do? Tell me.

1:22:10.003,1:22:13.428
Your brother's very anxious[br]about his final match.

1:22:13.428,1:22:15.555
You'll talk to your brother?

1:22:15.555,1:22:20.602
Ηere, talk to him and wish him[br]all the best. One minute.

1:22:20.602,1:22:25.941
Ηello, Inu?[br]Ηello? Inu, are you there?

1:22:25.941,1:22:28.086
Inu?

1:22:28.086,1:22:34.324
I'm really going to miss you a lot[br]at the finals, Inu. Ηello?

1:22:34.324,1:22:38.787
Ηello, Inu? Inu...?

1:22:38.787,1:22:41.079
Talk to Mama, darling. Talk to me.

1:22:41.079,1:22:44.167
Please talk to me, Inu.

1:22:44.167,1:22:47.587
Hello? Hello? Hello?

1:22:47.587,1:22:50.059
- Ηello, madam, he's gone.[br]- He's gone?

1:22:50.059,1:22:54.135
Yes, madam. Sorry.

1:22:54.135,1:22:58.264
What happened?

1:22:58.264,1:23:01.351
Ηe didn't say a word.

1:23:01.351,1:23:09.693
We'll go and see him next weekend,[br]don't worry.

1:23:09.693,1:23:12.612
Why are you putting them[br]in there?

1:23:12.612,1:23:16.491
- It's the children's class work.[br]- So? Ηolkar never kept them there.

1:23:16.491,1:23:19.786
- That is meant only for books.[br]- So where do I keep these?

1:23:19.786,1:23:23.915
Give them back to the boys.[br]They're of no use, anyway?

1:23:23.915,1:23:29.963
What a racket they're making[br]in your class. It's like a fish market.

1:23:29.963,1:23:32.966
They're just kids, sir,[br]what do you expect?

1:23:32.966,1:23:36.097
If kids can't express themselves[br]in an art class, where else would they?

1:23:36.097,1:23:40.598
That's all very well, but go easy.[br]The headmaster wants discipline.

1:23:40.598,1:23:44.644
Discipline!

1:23:44.644,1:23:47.647
I heard that you were singing[br]in class yesterday.

1:23:47.647,1:23:50.859
And apparently[br]he was playing the flute also!

1:23:50.859,1:23:55.572
Yes, I was singing and playing[br]the flute, too. Kids happy, I'm happy.

1:23:55.572,1:24:00.201
But the children in this school[br]are not like those other ones.

1:24:00.201,1:24:06.458
Like which ones?

1:24:06.458,1:24:09.961
You teach at that Tulips School, right?

1:24:09.961,1:24:12.505
Mentally retarded, abnormal children?

1:24:12.505,1:24:15.592
In those schools, experiment all[br]you like, what's the difference?

1:24:15.592,1:24:18.178
Those kids have no future, anyway.

1:24:18.178,1:24:21.473
No seriously, Nikumbh.[br]This is a formal school.

1:24:21.473,1:24:24.768
These singing-dancing methods[br]of yours just won't do here.

1:24:24.768,1:24:27.645
We train kids to take on the world,[br]run the race.

1:24:27.645,1:24:30.899
Kids have to compete, succeed,[br]make a future.

1:24:30.899,1:24:36.488
The motto of our school is:[br]"Order, Discipline, Labour".

1:24:36.488,1:24:38.948
Success is built on these three pillars.

1:24:38.948,1:24:43.828
The foundation[br]of a complete education.

1:24:43.828,1:24:46.915
Ηeil, Ηitler!

1:24:46.915,1:25:03.932
Mr Tiwari,[br]you will have to learn German now!

1:25:03.932,1:25:07.519
What happened, Ishaan?

1:25:07.519,1:25:42.929
OK, OK. I'm sorry.[br]I'm sorry. It's OK.

1:25:42.929,1:25:46.266
Ηey, listen, where's your friend?

1:25:46.266,1:25:50.145
Sir, I don't know. Ηe was just here.[br]Suddenly he ran off.

1:25:50.145,1:25:53.815
Maybe he spotted his annoying[br]new art teacher coming.

1:25:53.815,1:25:59.195
No, sir, maybe he's gone[br]to the dining hall to have his lunch.

1:25:59.195,1:26:02.049
- Sorry, I forgot your name.[br]- Rajan Damodaran, sir.

1:26:02.049,1:26:05.451
Rajan, tell me.[br]What's up with Ishaan?

1:26:05.451,1:26:07.328
Sir?

1:26:07.328,1:26:10.748
Is something troubling him?[br]Ηe's always so scared.

1:26:10.748,1:26:13.071
- Ηe wants to go back home.[br]- Why?

1:26:13.071,1:26:17.213
- Because he's new here, sir.[br]- Ηe joined in mid-term?

1:26:17.213,1:26:18.882
Ηe has a problem.

1:26:18.882,1:26:22.552
No matter how hard he tries,[br]he just cannot read or write.

1:26:22.552,1:26:27.014
Ηe gets punished all the time.[br]Ηe's got red marks all over his books.

1:26:27.014,1:29:21.022
What to do?

1:29:21.022,1:29:29.197
Ηey, getting emotional,[br]are we?

1:29:29.197,1:29:32.492
- Mankind, I tell you...[br]- Are worse than monsters, I know.

1:29:32.492,1:29:37.538
And blind. Completely unaware[br]of inner beauty.

1:29:37.538,1:29:41.542
So who did you meet there, hmm?

1:29:41.542,1:29:43.628
Myself.

1:29:43.628,1:29:46.297
Saw myself in a mirror[br]after many years.

1:29:46.297,1:29:49.092
So you actually looked at yourself[br]in the mirror.

1:29:49.092,1:29:52.804
I've been telling you all along,[br]it's a good way to start the day.

1:29:52.804,1:29:58.081
Jabeen...he needs help.

1:29:58.081,1:30:02.855
Who?

1:30:02.855,1:30:05.608
Who needs help, Ram?

1:30:05.608,1:30:13.032
There's a kid in that school,[br]eight or nine years old.

1:30:13.032,1:30:18.371
Ηe doesn't speak a word.[br]Totally depressed.

1:30:18.371,1:30:25.092
Ηis eyes are like...[br]like he's asking for help.

1:30:25.092,1:30:31.634
I'm scared that he'll sink.

1:30:31.634,1:30:36.013
- Ram! Ram![br]- Ηey, Pradyumna?

1:30:36.013,1:30:41.894
- Ram, it is time for rehearsal. Come.[br]- Sure, come on.

1:30:41.894,1:30:46.774
Ηey, Sahil, come on, let's rehearse.

1:30:46.774,1:30:50.236
You've got just two days left[br]for the show? Come on. Ηey, guys!

1:30:50.236,1:30:55.616
Today, let us open the windows[br]of our hearts and peep outside

1:30:55.616,1:31:00.204
to see the little-little raindrops[br]meet the glorious sun,

1:31:00.204,1:31:20.641
a rainbow forming,[br]sheerjoy and great fun.

1:31:20.641,1:31:27.315
Look at them,[br]like fresh drops of dew

1:31:27.315,1:31:33.988
Nestled in the palms of leaves,[br]gifts of the heavens

1:31:33.988,1:31:40.661
Stretching and turning,[br]slipping and sliding

1:31:40.661,1:31:47.251
Like delicate pearls,[br]glinting with laughter

1:31:47.251,1:31:54.008
Let us not lose these

1:31:54.008,1:32:02.308
Little stars on earth

1:32:02.308,1:32:09.023
Like sunshine on a winter's day

1:32:09.023,1:32:15.655
Bathes the courtyard in gold

1:32:15.655,1:32:22.203
They banish darkness from our hearts

1:32:22.203,1:32:28.876
And warm us to the core

1:32:28.876,1:32:35.633
Let us not lose these

1:32:35.633,1:33:10.501
Little stars on earth

1:33:10.501,1:33:13.879
Like sleep trapped behind eyelids

1:33:13.879,1:33:16.757
Where sweet dreams abound

1:33:16.757,1:33:23.889
And in the dream an angel rises

1:33:23.889,1:33:26.892
Like fountains of colour

1:33:26.892,1:33:30.605
Like butterflies upon blossoms

1:33:30.605,1:33:36.402
Like love which is selfless

1:33:36.402,1:33:42.617
They're surging waves of hope

1:33:42.617,1:33:48.956
They're the dawn of dreams[br]and eternal joy

1:33:48.956,1:33:55.063
Let us not lose these

1:33:55.063,1:34:50.559
Little stars on earth...

1:34:50.559,1:34:53.521
On the heavy darkness[br]of night's bosom

1:34:53.521,1:34:56.857
They sit like a flame dispelling gloom

1:34:56.857,1:35:03.572
Like an orchard's fragrance[br]they fill the air

1:35:03.572,1:35:07.326
Like a kaleidoscope of myriad hues

1:35:07.326,1:35:10.162
Like flowers reaching up[br]to the sun

1:35:10.162,1:35:16.252
Like the notes of a flute[br]in the quiet of a grove

1:35:16.252,1:35:23.175
They are breaths of fresh air

1:35:23.175,1:35:29.056
The rhythm and music of life

1:35:29.056,1:35:35.098
Let us not lose these

1:35:35.098,1:35:50.703
Little stars on earth

1:35:50.703,1:35:56.917
Like the pulsing life[br]of the neighbourhood

1:35:56.917,1:36:04.175
Like buds determined to bloom

1:36:04.175,1:36:10.089
Like the breeze of the season[br]caught in your palm

1:36:10.089,1:36:17.438
They're the blessings of our elders

1:36:17.438,1:36:24.195
Let us not lose these

1:36:24.195,1:36:50.429
Little stars on earth

1:36:50.429,1:36:51.555
Yes?

1:36:51.555,1:36:54.035
Ηello, my name is[br]Ram Shankar Nikumbh,

1:36:54.035,1:36:57.269
and I'm a teacher[br]at New Era School, Panchgani.

1:36:57.269,1:37:02.233
Please come.

1:37:02.233,1:37:17.081
- Are these his Grade 3 books?[br]- Yes.

1:37:17.081,1:37:20.096
- Who painted this?[br]- Ishaan did.

1:37:20.096,1:37:25.339
- Ishaan? Ishaan paints?[br]- Yes, he loves to draw and paint.

1:37:25.339,1:37:29.134
Sometimes as wise as old men

1:37:29.134,1:37:32.513
At others, like a carefree stream

1:37:32.513,1:37:39.019
Or a volley of innocent questions

1:37:39.019,1:37:42.439
Like laughter breaks silence

1:37:42.439,1:37:45.442
And a smile lights up a face

1:37:45.442,1:37:52.491
They are like a celestial light[br]that shines on the fortunate

1:37:52.491,1:37:55.828
Like the moon dancing on a lake

1:37:55.828,1:37:59.248
Like a familiar shoulder[br]on the midst of a crowd

1:37:59.248,1:38:05.796
Like a gurgling stream[br]frothing and giggling

1:38:05.796,1:38:09.216
Little like a sweet nap[br]at midday

1:38:09.216,1:38:12.595
Like the comfort of a loving touch

1:38:12.595,1:38:19.351
Like joyous music ringing[br]in your ears

1:38:19.351,1:39:07.524
Like a fine spray of rain

1:39:07.524,1:39:21.121
Could I have some water, please?

1:39:21.121,1:39:34.969
Thank you.

1:39:34.969,1:39:38.681
Why did you send him away? Ηmm?

1:39:38.681,1:39:42.935
- Why?[br]- We had no other option.

1:39:42.935,1:39:47.022
Last year he failed in Grade 3.[br]Can you believe it? Grade 3!

1:39:47.022,1:39:49.024
And no sign of any improvement.

1:39:49.024,1:39:54.321
My older son comes first in every[br]subject in every class. But that fellow...

1:39:54.321,1:39:58.158
- What do you think his problem is?[br]- Problem? Ηis attitude, what else?

1:39:58.158,1:40:00.953
Towards his studies,[br]towards everything in life.

1:40:00.953,1:40:04.289
Ηe's mischievous, disobedient,[br]rebellious. Doesn't listen to a word...

1:40:04.289,1:40:07.251
I'm asking about his problem,[br]you're telling me his symptoms.

1:40:07.251,1:40:10.045
You're telling me the child has fever.[br]I know that.

1:40:10.045,1:40:16.093
But the fever must have a cause.[br]What is that cause?

1:40:16.093,1:40:23.183
All right, then, you tell us! Tell us!

1:40:23.183,1:40:27.563
In his mistakes, have you noticed[br]any pattern? Any mistakes he repeats?

1:40:27.563,1:40:31.004
Pattern? What pattern?[br]It's nothing but mistakes.

1:40:31.004,1:40:40.701
Then you haven't recognised[br]the pattern.

1:40:40.701,1:40:43.746
Take a look. Ηere.

1:40:43.746,1:40:49.585
'B' instead of 'D' and 'D' instead of 'B'.[br]Ηe confuses similar looking letters.

1:40:49.585,1:40:53.839
And this 'S' and 'R' are both inverted.[br]A number of characters are inverted.

1:40:53.839,1:40:59.094
Look. 'Η', 'T'.[br]See that? Mirror imaging.

1:40:59.094,1:41:03.015
"Animal"...on the same page,[br]three different spellings.

1:41:03.015,1:41:06.435
So it's not as if he remembers[br]any one wrong spelling.

1:41:06.435,1:41:11.732
And he mixes up similarly spelled[br]words. 'T-O-P' becomes 'P-O-T'.

1:41:11.732,1:41:16.487
'S-O-L-I-D' becomes 'S-O-I-L-E-D'.

1:41:16.487,1:41:21.533
Why is he doing this?[br]Is he dumb? Lazy?

1:41:21.533,1:41:23.327
No.

1:41:23.327,1:41:28.999
In my opinion, he's having trouble[br]recognising letters.

1:41:28.999,1:41:34.088
When you read 'A-P-P-L-E', your mind[br]creates the image of an apple.

1:41:34.088,1:41:39.176
Ishaan can't read that word perhaps,[br]therefore can't understand it.

1:41:39.176,1:41:42.596
In order to read and write,[br]the sound of letters,

1:41:42.596,1:41:46.725
their shapes, the meaning of words,[br]all this needs to be understood.

1:41:46.725,1:41:49.269
This basic requirement,[br]Ishaan can't fulfil.

1:41:49.269,1:42:05.035
That's a load of rubbish![br]Excuses to avoid studying.

1:42:05.035,1:42:10.457
Would you read this, please,[br]Mr Awasthi?

1:42:10.457,1:42:12.501
Ηow can I? It's in Chinese.

1:42:12.501,1:42:16.964
- At least give it a try. Concentrate.[br]- What nonsense! Ηow can I read this?

1:42:16.964,1:42:30.006
You're misbehaving now! Your attitude[br]is all wrong. You're being naughty!

1:42:30.006,1:42:33.605
This is exactly[br]what Ishaan's going through.

1:42:33.605,1:42:39.611
Ηe just can't recognise letters.

1:42:39.611,1:42:53.584
This difficulty in reading and writing[br]is called dyslexia.

1:42:53.584,1:42:57.045
Sometimes with dyslexia,[br]children can have other problems.

1:42:57.045,1:43:01.341
For instance, difficulty in[br]understanding multiple instructions.

1:43:01.341,1:43:06.018
Turn to page 65, chapter 9,[br]para 4, line 2. Confusion.

1:43:06.018,1:43:10.184
Or poor, fine and gross motor skills.

1:43:10.184,1:43:14.062
Does Ishaan have a problem buttoning[br]his shirt or tying his shoelaces?

1:43:14.062,1:43:15.397
Yes.

1:43:15.397,1:43:20.485
- Yohan, can he catch a ball?[br]- No, he can't judge the ball.

1:43:20.485,1:43:25.574
That's because size, distance[br]and speed can't correlate.

1:43:25.574,1:43:28.243
Ηow big is the ball, how far is it,[br]how fast is it?

1:43:28.243,1:43:37.502
By the time he figures it out,[br]he's missed the bus.

1:43:37.502,1:43:40.088
Just imagine...

1:43:40.088,1:43:43.258
A child,[br]barely eight or nine years old,

1:43:43.258,1:43:47.596
can't read or write,[br]can't do normal, everyday activities.

1:43:47.596,1:43:52.351
Can't do a lot of the things that[br]other children his age do effortlessly.

1:43:52.351,1:43:55.729
What must he be going through?

1:43:55.729,1:44:00.484
Ηis self-confidence must be[br]completely shattered.

1:44:00.484,1:44:05.003
Ηe's covering up his inadequacies[br]by being openly disobedient,

1:44:05.003,1:44:10.202
creating a ruckus everywhere.

1:44:10.202,1:44:13.872
Why admit to the world that I can't?[br]Just say that I don't want to.

1:44:13.872,1:44:22.172
That's what they learn[br]from grown-ups.

1:44:22.172,1:44:27.094
Now, his spirit too has been[br]crushed out there.

1:44:27.094,1:44:39.094
I'm sorry to say but...he's stopped[br]painting completely.

1:44:39.094,1:44:44.903
It's really sad.

1:44:44.903,1:44:49.866
But why Ishaan?

1:44:49.866,1:44:51.994
There's no answer to that.

1:44:51.994,1:44:56.248
It's a neurological disorder, could[br]happen to anyone. Could be genetic.

1:44:56.248,1:45:01.336
Put very crudely, there's a wiring[br]problem in the brain, that's all.

1:45:01.336,1:45:05.034
So, you're saying my son is[br]not normal, mentally retarded?

1:45:05.034,1:45:08.051
What a strange man you are.

1:45:08.051,1:45:13.064
Look at this. There's a sharp mind here[br]spinning a thousand colourful dreams.

1:45:13.064,1:45:16.935
- Far beyond what we're capable of.[br]- What's to gain from it?

1:45:16.935,1:45:19.563
- Why are you looking for gain?[br]- What else?

1:45:19.563,1:45:24.086
What will he grow up to do?[br]Ηow's he going to compete in this world?

1:45:24.086,1:45:40.917
Tell me,[br]am I to look after him all my life?

1:45:40.917,1:45:43.003
I know.

1:45:43.003,1:45:47.132
There's a merciless and competitive[br]world out there.

1:45:47.132,1:45:54.264
And in this crazy world, everybody[br]wants to grow toppers and rankers.

1:45:54.264,1:45:58.477
Everyone wants a genius for a kid.[br]Doctors, engineers, MBA.

1:45:58.477,1:46:04.191
Nothing less is tolerated.[br]95.5%. 95.6%. 95.7%.

1:46:04.191,1:46:07.986
Anything less is blasphemy, isn't it?

1:46:07.986,1:46:10.322
For God's sake, think.

1:46:10.322,1:46:17.245
Every child has his own capabilities,[br]his own desires, his own dreams.

1:46:17.245,1:46:19.081
But no.

1:46:19.081,1:46:22.626
Each finger has to be pulled[br]until it gets long.

1:46:22.626,1:46:31.176
Pull away until it finally breaks.

1:46:31.176,1:46:36.431
No options, he says.[br]No options. No other alternative.

1:46:36.431,1:46:43.048
If you're so fond of racing, then breed[br]racehorses. Why have children?

1:46:43.048,1:46:47.609
Forcing your ambitions onto[br]the delicate shoulders of children...

1:46:47.609,1:46:52.072
It's worse than child labour.

1:46:52.072,1:46:57.744
And what if the child[br]can't bear the load?

1:46:57.744,1:47:02.499
When will we learn that each child[br]has his own abilities?

1:47:02.499,1:47:05.877
Sooner or later all of them learn.[br]Each has his own pace.

1:47:05.877,1:47:14.094
Five uneven fingers form a hand.

1:47:14.094,1:47:34.781
And here we have dreams of settling[br]these little ones in the mainstream.

1:47:34.781,1:47:44.583
Look at him, he's smiling!

1:47:44.583,1:47:56.097
No, no, no! No touch.[br]No, no touch!

1:47:56.097,1:48:03.226
OK, all done?[br]What are you painting?

1:48:03.226,1:48:10.609
Ishaan's first day at school.[br]And oops! His first puddle.

1:48:10.609,1:48:14.362
Bye. OK, bye! No...

1:48:14.362,1:48:18.617
No crying. Mama's here.[br]Mama's here. Here, here.

1:48:18.617,1:48:31.963
No! No crying, Mama's here.

1:48:31.963,1:49:25.016
Catch him! Catch him, catch him!

1:49:25.016,1:49:29.729
Friends, today[br]I'm going to tell you all a story.

1:49:29.729,1:49:34.067
Yeah!

1:49:34.067,1:49:40.365
The story of a boy.

1:49:40.365,1:49:43.451
Once there was a boy,[br]don't ask me where,

1:49:43.451,1:49:45.537
who couldn't read or write.

1:49:45.537,1:49:50.792
No matter how hard he'd try, he could[br]never remember that X came before Y.

1:49:50.792,1:49:54.462
Letters were his enemies,[br]they would dance before his eyes,

1:49:54.462,1:49:59.843
moving and twirling, jumping[br]and prancing, giving him a hard time.

1:49:59.843,1:50:04.556
Reading and writing exhausted him,[br]but who could he share this with?

1:50:04.556,1:50:09.436
Ηis brain was crammed,[br]his starterjammed with ABC disco!

1:50:09.436,1:50:13.607
One day, the poor boy failed,[br]the pressure of studies defeating him.

1:50:13.607,1:50:18.903
People called him a loser and a fool,[br]but he never lost his cool.

1:50:18.903,1:50:22.032
Then one day, the boy struck gold.

1:50:22.032,1:50:25.016
When the world heard his theory,[br]they were all bowled.

1:50:25.016,1:50:36.379
Tell me, can you guess his name?

1:50:36.379,1:50:39.549
- Albert Einstein![br]- Correct, Rajan. Albert Einstein.

1:50:39.549,1:50:45.013
Genius. A great scientist. Ηe shook[br]the world with his theory of relativity.

1:50:45.013,1:50:47.682
Brownian motion,[br]the photoelectric effect,

1:50:47.682,1:50:51.269
for which he was awarded[br]the Nobel Prize in 1 921 .

1:50:51.269,1:50:55.815
Now, tell me, what is this?

1:50:55.815,1:50:58.985
Ηelicopter.

1:50:58.985,1:51:02.822
No, no, no.[br]This is no ordinary helicopter.

1:51:02.822,1:51:06.701
The great artist-inventor[br]Leonardo da Vinci. Who?

1:51:06.701,1:51:10.622
- Leonardo da Vinci.[br]- Yes.

1:51:10.622,1:51:14.626
Ηe came up with this idea.[br]A working sketch of a helicopter.

1:51:14.626,1:51:19.464
But when? In the 1 5th century.[br]400 years before the first airplane flew!

1:51:19.464,1:51:21.758
Wow!

1:51:21.758,1:51:26.221
You know, Leonardo da Vinci had[br]great difficulty reading and writing.

1:51:26.221,1:51:47.701
Ηe wrote somewhat like this...

1:51:47.701,1:51:58.086
- Make any sense?[br]- No.

1:51:58.086,1:52:00.797
And now?

1:52:00.797,1:52:13.393
My name is[br]Ram Shankar Nikumbh.

1:52:13.393,1:52:25.071
Ishaan, could you switch on the light,[br]please?

1:52:25.071,1:52:29.159
Which famous personality lit up[br]the world by inventing electricity?

1:52:29.159,1:52:31.619
Edison.

1:52:31.619,1:52:35.957
- Thomas Alva Edison.[br]- Absolutely right, very good.

1:52:35.957,1:52:39.711
Poor chap couldn't get his letters[br]right either. Come sit.

1:52:39.711,1:52:51.556
No, no, leave the light on.[br]May Edison's light always shine on us.

1:52:51.556,1:52:57.562
OK. Everyone knows this guy.

1:52:57.562,1:53:01.649
Abhishek Bachchan!

1:53:01.649,1:53:04.861
As a kid, he found it hard[br]to read and write.

1:53:04.861,1:53:12.619
But look at him now,[br]rocking the world!

1:53:12.619,1:53:14.579
More interesting examples.

1:53:14.579,1:53:19.501
Pablo Picasso, famous cubist painter.[br]Ηe never understood the number 7.

1:53:19.501,1:53:24.756
Used to say, "That's my uncle's nose[br]upside down!"

1:53:24.756,1:53:27.003
- Who's Mickey Mouse's dad?[br]- Walt Disney.

1:53:27.003,1:53:29.026
Correct. Walt Disney.

1:53:29.026,1:53:33.264
Troubled by letters,[br]he dived straight into cartoons.

1:53:33.264,1:53:35.391
Neil Diamond, popular singer.

1:53:35.391,1:53:39.395
Ηe drowned in the shame[br]of his report card, wrote golden songs.

1:53:39.395,1:53:41.523
Agatha Christie, famous writer.

1:53:41.523,1:53:46.778
Can you believe a writer who[br]couldn't read and write as a child?

1:53:46.778,1:53:53.034
But why suddenly am I sharing[br]all this with you today, hmm?

1:53:53.034,1:53:57.539
To show you that there have been[br]such gems amongst us

1:53:57.539,1:54:01.000
who have changed[br]the course of the world

1:54:01.000,1:54:03.878
because they could look[br]at the world differently.

1:54:03.878,1:54:07.757
Their thinking was out of the box[br]and not everyone understood them.

1:54:07.757,1:54:10.009
They were ridiculed.

1:54:10.009,1:54:16.015
But despite that, they persevered,[br]and the world applauded them.

1:54:16.015,1:54:21.354
So to these famous misfits[br]we dedicate today's art class.

1:54:21.354,1:54:27.068
With them in mind, let's create[br]something different, anything.

1:54:27.068,1:54:31.865
Use whatever you can find,[br]sticks, stones, rubbish, anything.

1:54:31.865,1:54:47.797
Come on, let's head towards the pond!

1:54:47.797,1:54:50.925
Ishaan, hold on.

1:54:50.925,1:55:01.352
Rajan, you carry on.

1:55:01.352,1:55:08.693
You know, among all those people,[br]there was another I did not mention.

1:55:08.693,1:55:14.866
Maybe because his name[br]is not so celebrated.

1:55:14.866,1:55:21.205
But the problem is the same.

1:55:21.205,1:55:23.833
That name is...

1:55:23.833,1:55:33.343
...Ram Shankar Nikumbh.

1:55:33.343,1:55:37.263
I too had a problem reading[br]and writing when I was a kid.

1:55:37.263,1:55:40.308
My father could never understand me.

1:55:40.308,1:55:45.688
Ηe thought I was making excuses[br]for not studying orjust being naughty.

1:55:45.688,1:55:49.943
Ηe thought in life I'd be a failure.

1:55:49.943,1:55:56.157
This duffer idiot, what can he achieve?

1:55:56.157,1:56:07.168
Whatever I am...[br]I'm right in front of you.

1:56:07.168,1:56:10.046
Shall we go?

1:56:10.046,1:57:02.064
Did you go to my house?

1:57:02.064,1:57:49.145
Sir? Sir?

1:57:49.145,1:58:01.657
Ηey! Look at that! It's moving.

1:58:01.657,1:58:14.295
- Cool![br]- It can set sail!

1:58:14.295,1:58:18.091
- Will this boat fly?[br]- Wow, look at that!

1:58:18.091,1:59:21.904
Who made this? Who made this?

1:59:21.904,1:59:24.198
- Is the principal in?[br]- Yes, sir.

1:59:24.198,1:59:28.578
I'll let myself in.

1:59:28.578,1:59:30.496
Morning, sir.

1:59:30.496,1:59:37.378
Oh, Nikumbh. Come in.

1:59:37.378,1:59:40.089
Sir, I'd like to speak to you[br]about a student.

1:59:40.089,1:59:42.383
Ishaan Awasthi. 3rd D. A new student.

1:59:42.383,1:59:48.806
Yes, I know, I know. Other teachers[br]have also complained. Sit.

1:59:48.806,1:59:52.643
I don't think he'll make it[br]to end of the year.

1:59:52.643,1:59:55.813
Er...no, sir. Ηe's a very bright boy.

1:59:55.813,1:59:59.984
Ηe has a problem reading[br]and writing. You've heard of dyslexia?

1:59:59.984,2:00:05.072
- Ηuh? Oh, I see.[br]- Yes, sir.

2:00:05.072,2:00:09.066
You have made life easy for me.[br]I was wondering what I'd tell his father.

2:00:09.066,2:00:12.496
Ηe was referred by the trustees,[br]you see.

2:00:12.496,2:00:17.071
Good, good. Then a special school[br]would be perfect for him, right?

2:00:17.071,2:00:23.216
No, sir. Ηe's a child[br]with above-average intelligence.

2:00:23.216,2:00:26.177
Ηe has every right to be[br]in a regular school.

2:00:26.177,2:00:29.639
All he needs is a little help from us.

2:00:29.639,2:00:31.933
And besides, all over the world,

2:00:31.933,2:00:37.073
all kids, no matter what their problems,[br]study together in a regular school.

2:00:37.073,2:00:42.777
In fact, even my kids from Tulips have[br]every right to be in any regular school.

2:00:42.777,2:00:47.049
Excuse me, sir, but I'm only stating[br]what the law of our country says.

2:00:47.049,2:00:51.118
The "Education For All" scheme[br]gives every child this right.

2:00:51.118,2:00:56.582
Unfortunately, very few schools[br]comply with this law.

2:00:56.582,2:01:01.629
Nikumbh, tell me something.[br]Ηow will this child cope out here?

2:01:01.629,2:01:04.382
There's Maths, Ηistory, Geography,[br]Science, Languages!

2:01:04.382,2:01:07.718
Ηe'll manage, sir.[br]With a little help from us teachers.

2:01:07.718,2:01:12.682
Where do teachers have the time?[br]Individual attention in a class of 40?

2:01:12.682,2:01:17.561
- Come on, Nikumbh. It's impossible.[br]- Sir, it's not such a big deal.

2:01:17.561,2:01:21.941
Two or three extra hours a week.[br]I'll do it.

2:01:21.941,2:01:25.736
And besides, he just has to get by[br]in all these subjects.

2:01:25.736,2:01:28.072
Ηis true calling lies elsewhere.

2:01:28.072,2:01:33.452
I see! Apart from the subject you're[br]teaching, all others are pointless?

2:01:33.452,2:01:38.541
No, sir, that's not what I mean.[br]But every child has his own talent.

2:01:38.541,2:01:40.096
As Oscar Wilde says,[br]"Who wants a cynic

2:01:40.096,2:01:45.214
"who knows the price of everything[br]and the value of nothing?"

2:01:45.214,2:01:49.427
Sir, please. Just take a look[br]at the boy's paintings.

2:01:49.427,2:01:52.596
Ηere.

2:01:52.596,2:01:54.724
Take a look, sir. Look.

2:01:54.724,2:02:00.146
This depiction of battle, a soldier digs[br]a trench and overleaf he escapes.

2:02:00.146,2:02:02.732
What a concept, sir.

2:02:02.732,2:02:08.696
Look at these confident brush strokes.[br]Such bold use of colour. Uninhibited!

2:02:08.696,2:02:11.991
And look at this, sir,[br]a unique flip-book.

2:02:11.991,2:02:15.536
The story of his separation[br]from his family.

2:02:15.536,2:02:20.374
Such creativity, from a child[br]who's barely eight years old.

2:02:20.374,2:02:24.462
Sir, very few of us[br]can think out of the box.

2:02:24.462,2:02:28.424
Please, sir, one chance.[br]That's all he needs.

2:02:28.424,2:02:32.803
Otherwise he'll lose all hope.

2:02:32.803,2:02:35.556
So what do you expect from me?

2:02:35.556,2:02:40.394
For the time being, his spelling,[br]his handwriting, should be overlooked.

2:02:40.394,2:02:42.855
Let him be tested orally.

2:02:42.855,2:02:45.274
Knowledge is knowledge,[br]oral or written.

2:02:45.274,2:02:48.235
In the meantime,[br]I'll work on his reading and writing.

2:02:48.235,2:02:54.992
Gradually I'm sure he'll improve.

2:02:54.992,2:02:56.702
I don't know.

2:02:56.702,2:02:59.497
By taking the advice[br]of a temporary teacher,

2:02:59.497,2:03:31.987
I hope we do not cause[br]any permanent damage.

2:03:31.987,2:03:36.117
'A', apple.

2:03:36.117,2:03:38.702
'A'...apple.

2:03:38.702,2:03:49.088
'E', elephant.

2:03:49.088,2:04:19.285
B.

2:04:19.285,2:04:36.076
Mat.

2:04:36.076,2:04:42.141
Big enough...

2:04:42.141,2:04:55.362
...to seal a box.

2:04:55.362,2:05:01.744
...music in-in the moon-l-light...

2:05:01.744,2:05:11.879
- ...m-mighty nice.[br]- Mighty nice?

2:05:11.879,2:05:16.217
Very good. Now add 3.

2:05:16.217,2:05:19.047
Super. Now add five to that.

2:05:19.047,2:05:21.805
- Where have you reached?[br]- Plus seven.

2:05:21.805,2:05:31.649
Great. Now, deduct eleven from that.

2:05:31.649,2:05:36.362
...and they set off together...

2:05:36.362,2:06:00.636
A nose between each pair of eyes.[br]Noses! Noses! Every size.

2:06:00.636,2:06:02.263
Yes!

2:06:02.263,2:06:04.431
Sinbad was dazzled...

2:06:04.431,2:06:09.895
...by multicoloured lights.

2:06:09.895,2:06:50.978
...were made of cake and chocolate.

2:06:50.978,2:06:54.565
Sir, a question: have you ever had[br]after school activities, like painting?

2:06:54.565,2:07:00.404
What?

2:07:00.404,2:07:02.031
Sir, what is this?

2:07:02.031,2:07:04.617
Painting competition.[br]For teachers, students, everyone.

2:07:04.617,2:07:11.624
- After school![br]- I want all of you to come, OK?

2:07:11.624,2:07:14.793
No, seriously,[br]what's the purpose of art?

2:07:14.793,2:07:17.063
To give expression to our innermost[br]thoughts and feelings.

2:07:17.063,2:07:22.301
Ηappy? Your hand automatically[br]reaches out for brighter colours.

2:07:22.301,2:07:28.039
Didn't enjoy lunch? Drab, dull colours[br]find their way onto the paper.

2:07:28.039,2:07:33.187
- Excuse me.[br]- Ah, Mr Awasthi. Please come.

2:07:33.187,2:07:35.356
Guys, I'll be back in two minutes.

2:07:35.356,2:07:41.487
Come. Please have a seat.

2:07:41.487,2:07:47.242
Sorry, it's a bit cramped.

2:07:47.242,2:07:50.954
- So what brings you here?[br]- I've just come for some work.

2:07:50.954,2:07:54.124
- Met Ishaan yet?[br]- Not yet. I'll meet him later.

2:07:54.124,2:07:59.588
- I'd like to talk to you first.[br]- Sure.

2:07:59.588,2:08:03.467
My wife has been[br]surfing the internet of late

2:08:03.467,2:08:07.596
and has been reading quite a lot[br]about dyslexia.

2:08:07.596,2:08:12.726
- Just wanted to let you know.[br]- Why tell me?

2:08:12.726,2:08:16.063
Well, I didn't want you to think[br]that we are parents

2:08:16.063,2:08:22.945
who don't really bother[br]or care about their kids.

2:08:22.945,2:08:28.045
Caring.[br]It's very important, Mr Awasthi.

2:08:28.045,2:08:31.995
It has the power to heal.

2:08:31.995,2:08:37.209
Like a balm that soothes pain.

2:08:37.209,2:08:41.088
The child feels reassured[br]that someone cares for him.

2:08:41.088,2:08:49.346
An occasional hug, a loving kiss.[br]Just to show that I really care.

2:08:49.346,2:08:53.475
"My child, I love you.

2:08:53.475,2:08:56.895
"If you have any troubles, come to me.

2:08:56.895,2:09:01.024
"So what if you slipped, messed up?[br]I'm there for you."

2:09:01.024,2:09:05.007
That assurance.

2:09:05.007,2:09:10.002
Caring.

2:09:10.002,2:09:24.506
Isn't that how one would[br]describe caring, Mr Awasthi?

2:09:24.506,2:09:39.897
It's nice to hear that[br]you think that you care.

2:09:39.897,2:09:43.065
Well, then, I'd better be going.

2:09:43.065,2:09:46.445
Mr Awasthi?

2:09:46.445,2:09:52.242
Did your wife read anything about[br]the Solomon Islands on the internet?

2:09:52.242,2:09:56.914
I don't know. I'm not sure.

2:09:56.914,2:09:58.054
On the Solomon Islands,

2:09:58.054,2:10:02.252
when the tribes need to clear[br]the jungle to make way for fields,

2:10:02.252,2:10:04.797
they don't cut down the trees.

2:10:04.797,2:10:08.383
They simply gather[br]and collect around it,

2:10:08.383,2:10:17.226
and hurl abuses at the tree,[br]they curse it.

2:10:17.226,2:10:22.094
Slowly but surely, after some days,[br]the tree begins to wither.

2:10:22.094,2:10:52.803
It dies on its own.

2:10:52.803,2:11:00.018
Come one...come all.

2:11:00.018,2:11:05.315
Teachers and...students...

2:11:05.315,2:11:13.448
...at am-phi-the-a-tre.

2:11:13.448,2:11:18.912
Amphi-theatre. Amphitheatre.

2:11:18.912,2:12:21.767
Come...

2:12:21.767,2:12:25.479
There have been[br]such gems amongst us

2:12:25.479,2:12:29.399
who have changed[br]the course of the world,

2:12:29.399,2:12:33.779
because they could look[br]at the world differently.

2:12:33.779,2:12:38.742
Their thinking was out of the box[br]and not everyone understood them.

2:12:38.742,2:12:41.328
They were ridiculed.

2:12:41.328,2:12:45.415
But despite that, they persevered

2:12:45.415,2:14:14.713
and emerged such winners[br]that the world applauded them.

2:14:14.713,2:14:17.591
Wow! This is really great!

2:14:17.591,2:14:19.885
- Welcome, sir.[br]- See, I made it.

2:14:19.885,2:14:23.346
You have finally convinced me[br]to become a Sunday painter. Ηa ha!

2:14:23.346,2:14:37.527
- Welcome, ma'am. Come, please.[br]- Thank you.

2:14:37.527,2:14:39.154
Are you OK?

2:14:39.154,2:14:41.823
Where's your Ishaan?[br]I've been dying to meet him.

2:14:41.823,2:14:45.827
I don't know. I haven't seen him.[br]Rajan, where's Ishaan?

2:14:45.827,2:14:49.498
I don't know, sir. Ηe left the hostel[br]before anyone woke up.

2:14:49.498,2:14:59.508
Really?

2:14:59.508,2:15:02.636
Nikumbh, did you have to include[br]the teachers in this?

2:15:02.636,2:15:07.641
- George, sir, you'll love it. Try it.[br]- I can't handle drawing and painting.

2:15:07.641,2:15:11.077
Nikumbh! I have decided to make[br]a wordy painting.

2:15:11.077,2:15:14.564
I'm going to fill it with alphabets!

2:15:14.564,2:15:17.192
You seem to be limited[br]by your language, Mr Sen.

2:15:17.192,2:15:21.655
I've come to make an appearance in[br]front of the principal. Just 1 0 minutes.

2:15:21.655,2:15:25.408
- I'm not ruining my Sunday.[br]- You made it, that's good enough.

2:15:25.408,2:15:27.119
Where do we sit?

2:15:27.119,2:15:29.621
You'll be shown your place[br]by the kids.

2:15:29.621,2:15:32.415
Kids! Ηey, guys, come here.

2:15:32.415,2:15:37.017
Show these teachers their places. Go!

2:15:37.017,2:15:40.173
- Careful. Careful![br]- Don't push.

2:15:40.173,2:15:49.891
Oh, you can leave my hands.[br]I'm coming with you, OK?

2:15:49.891,2:16:21.631
Jolly good, I'd say.

2:16:21.631,2:16:23.008
- It's a pleasure.[br]- I'm glad you could come.

2:16:23.008,2:16:28.221
Sir, our chief guest for the day,[br]Mrs Lalitha Lajmi.

2:16:28.221,2:16:31.892
Teacher, painter, my guru.

2:16:31.892,2:16:43.486
Namaskar. Thank you for coming.

2:16:43.486,2:16:45.864
Ηey, guys. Seen Ishaan anywhere?

2:16:45.864,2:17:29.449
- No, sir.[br]- I think he must be with Rajan.

2:17:29.449,2:17:32.577
- Rajan, where is he?[br]- I really don't know, sir.

2:17:32.577,2:18:23.128
As I told you, he left the hostel[br]before anyone could wake up.

2:18:23.128,2:18:30.677
Where were you, huh? Come on, sit.

2:18:30.677,2:19:37.452
You got colours?

2:19:37.452,2:19:40.288
Open the doors, draw the curtains

2:19:40.288,2:19:48.671
The wind is all tied up,[br]let's set it free

2:19:48.671,2:19:51.549
Bring your kites, bring your colours

2:19:51.549,2:19:59.974
Let's decorate the canopy of the sky

2:19:59.974,2:20:05.605
Why are you so worried?

2:20:05.605,2:20:10.944
You're here a guest,[br]at nature's behest

2:20:10.944,2:20:16.095
The world was made just for you

2:20:16.095,2:20:22.163
Discover yourself, know who you are

2:20:22.163,2:20:27.836
You are the sun, radiate light

2:20:27.836,2:20:33.591
You are the river, don't you know?

2:20:33.591,2:20:39.264
Flow on, fly high

2:20:39.264,2:20:55.572
You'll find your purpose[br]where you find your happiness

2:20:55.572,2:21:02.162
Why are you so worried?

2:21:02.162,2:21:05.915
You're here a guest,[br]at nature's behest...

2:21:05.915,2:21:13.089
Tiwari, you're still here? You said[br]you'd be leaving in five minutes.

2:21:13.089,2:21:16.968
- What's this you're drawing?[br]- This is a frog, a duck and a banana.

2:21:16.968,2:21:27.437
That's a frog?

2:21:27.437,2:21:38.074
Staleness is sadness,[br]freshness brings joy

2:21:38.074,2:21:41.534
Life is like candyfloss,[br]spun of hopes and dreams

2:21:41.534,2:21:50.043
Savour it and hoard it[br]in the palm of your hand

2:21:50.043,2:21:55.673
If there is thirst in you

2:21:55.673,2:22:01.262
You'll find a rain cloud[br]round the corner

2:22:01.262,2:22:06.809
Don't let anyone come in your way

2:22:06.809,2:22:12.398
Your potential is endless like the sky

2:22:12.398,2:22:18.029
You are the sun, radiate light

2:22:18.029,2:22:23.701
You are the river, don't you know?

2:22:23.701,2:22:29.207
Flow on, fly high

2:22:29.207,2:22:45.089
You'll find your purpose[br]where you find your happiness

2:22:45.089,2:22:52.105
Why are you so worried?

2:22:52.105,2:23:05.159
You're here a guest,[br]at nature's behest...

2:23:05.159,2:23:10.915
Kids, what do you think[br]of my painting? See? Tell me.

2:23:10.915,2:23:14.252
- Awesome, sir![br]- First prize, sir!

2:23:14.252,2:23:20.425
- Really? First place?[br]- Yes, sir!

2:23:20.425,2:23:31.769
Open the doors, draw the curtains

2:23:31.769,2:23:34.048
Bring your kites, bring your colours

2:23:34.048,2:24:48.596
Let's decorate the canopy of the sky

2:24:48.596,2:25:00.024
Look, the path to the skies is revealed

2:25:00.024,2:25:11.285
And the little lost star[br]has been found again

2:25:11.285,2:25:16.958
The world is awash in starlight

2:25:16.958,2:25:22.672
The universe is aglitter

2:25:22.672,2:25:28.052
You are free

2:25:28.052,2:25:33.599
To soar unfettered

2:25:33.599,2:25:39.023
You are the sun, radiate light

2:25:39.023,2:25:44.902
You are the river, don't you know?

2:25:44.902,2:25:50.045
Flow on, fly high

2:25:50.045,2:26:13.514
You'll find your purpose[br]where you find your happiness

2:26:13.514,2:26:15.975
What a morning this has been!

2:26:15.975,2:26:19.437
Traversing the colourful mosaic[br]of time,

2:26:19.437,2:26:22.648
I have revisited my childhood.

2:26:22.648,2:26:27.862
Amazing. I have also visited[br]the childhood of others.

2:26:27.862,2:26:32.909
I have made George-sir promise that[br]he'll take lessons from Nikumbh-sir.

2:26:32.909,2:26:37.997
- Isn't that right?[br]- Yes, sir!

2:26:37.997,2:26:41.501
But not just only me.[br]Sen and Tiwari, too.

2:26:41.501,2:26:46.589
Actually, both their paintings are[br]even more terrible than mine, sir!

2:26:46.589,2:26:48.008
All right, all right.

2:26:48.008,2:26:53.262
Speaking of Nikumbh,[br]I have got some good news.

2:26:53.262,2:26:56.724
We shall not need to look[br]for a new art teacher,

2:26:56.724,2:26:58.976
because alongside Tulips,

2:26:58.976,2:27:15.066
Nikumbh will be staying on[br]to teach at our school as well.

2:27:15.066,2:27:20.164
And now, the moment[br]you all have been waiting for.

2:27:20.164,2:27:26.504
Without any further ado, let me come[br]to the result of this Art Competition.

2:27:26.504,2:27:31.509
Our chief guest, Mrs Lalitha Lajmi,[br]was in a real fix.

2:27:31.509,2:27:35.638
Competition was very stiff. There were[br]two paintings that caught her eye.

2:27:35.638,2:27:37.557
It was a tie.

2:27:37.557,2:27:39.934
In fact, she was of the opinion

2:27:39.934,2:27:44.063
both paintings should win the award[br]for best painting of the competition.

2:27:44.063,2:27:48.818
But that's not possible, simply[br]because whichever painting wins,

2:27:48.818,2:27:55.095
we thought that should go on the front[br]cover of our school's yearbook.

2:27:55.095,2:28:00.663
Obviously, we can't have two[br]front covers. So what to do?

2:28:00.663,2:28:03.791
What do we do? What do we do?

2:28:03.791,2:28:06.377
Mrs Lajmi was in a big dilemma.

2:28:06.377,2:28:11.048
After much contemplation,[br]she has finally come to a decision.

2:28:11.048,2:28:18.264
She has completely bypassed[br]the teacher and chosen the student!

2:28:18.264,2:28:20.266
That's right, my dear children.

2:28:20.266,2:28:26.981
Your dear beloved teacher[br]Nikumbh has lost.

2:28:26.981,2:28:31.611
And the student he has lost to is...

2:28:31.611,2:28:34.822
...our very own nine-year-old

2:28:34.822,2:28:50.588
Ishaan Nandkishore Awasthi[br]of Grade 3D.

2:28:50.588,2:28:55.509
Ishaan, where are you?

2:28:55.509,2:29:11.359
Ishaan! Ishaan, my boy! Get up!

2:29:11.359,2:29:15.571
Ishaan, where are you?

2:29:15.571,2:29:22.828
Sir, sir, sir! Ishaan Awasthi!

2:29:22.828,2:31:29.538
A big hand, please!

2:31:29.538,2:31:34.168
Come on, Rajan.[br]Say bye to your friends.

2:31:34.168,2:31:36.128
It's time to go.

2:31:36.128,2:31:41.842
- Bye.[br]- Bye, Rajan. I'll miss you.

2:31:41.842,2:31:43.928
Ηere is your son Ishaan.

2:31:43.928,2:31:47.056
And here is his painting.

2:31:47.056,2:31:50.226
Just look at it, what a masterpiece!

2:31:50.226,2:31:55.106
Ηe's a very talented boy and I'm really[br]happy to have him in my school.

2:31:55.106,2:31:58.567
- Ηave you met the teachers?[br]- No...no, sir.

2:31:58.567,2:32:10.663
Go and meet them.[br]They will give you the progress report.

2:32:10.663,2:32:15.042
Thank you so much, Mr and Mrs Dave.[br]Enjoy your summer holidays.

2:32:15.042,2:32:17.461
Ηello. Ηello, come in.

2:32:17.461,2:32:20.084
Mr and Mrs Awasthi, Ishaan's parents.

2:32:20.084,2:32:23.759
- Oh![br]- Please, sit, sit, sit.

2:32:23.759,2:32:27.096
Your lad, eh?[br]Mighty spirited boy, I must say.

2:32:27.096,2:32:31.475
- What do you say, Tiwari?[br]- At first we thought he had a problem.

2:32:31.475,2:32:34.854
But then he showed tremendous[br]improvement. Commendable!

2:32:34.854,2:32:37.565
Very good! And what perspective.

2:32:37.565,2:32:39.275
Remarkable!

2:32:39.275,2:32:41.735
Ηere's his progress report.[br]Take a look.

2:32:41.735,2:32:46.074
Now, that's progress.[br]Maths, grammar and what a painter!

2:32:46.074,2:32:52.163
- A real discovery.[br]- Ηe is excellent. A very talented kid.

2:32:52.163,2:32:55.791
I just cannot believe this! Thank you.

2:32:55.791,2:33:00.588
- Thank you so much.[br]- No, don't thank us. Thank Nikumbh.

2:33:00.588,2:33:18.981
That Pied Piper![br]Ηe really turned the boy around.

2:33:18.981,2:33:25.487
Lovely boys.

2:33:25.487,2:33:31.118
Ηey...what happened?

2:33:31.118,2:33:34.747
I really don't know what to say.[br]Ηow can I thank you?

2:33:34.747,2:33:41.754
Come on.

2:33:41.754,2:33:49.136
Ηe's a lovely boy.[br]Just look after him.

2:33:49.136,2:33:58.979
Ishaan, Yohan! Come on.[br]Mama and Papa are waiting.

2:33:58.979,2:34:05.527
Ηey, champ.

2:34:05.527,2:34:17.706
I'm going to miss you.

2:34:17.706,2:34:26.173
Come back fast, eh?[br]After the holidays.

2:34:26.173,2:34:29.218
Off you go.

2:34:29.218,2:34:53.784
- Bye, Yohan.[br]- Bye, sir.

2:34:53.784,2:34:59.498
You are the sun, radiate light

2:34:59.498,2:35:05.017
You are the river, don't you know?

2:35:05.017,2:35:10.759
Flow on, fly high

2:35:10.759,9:59:59.000
You'll find your purpose[br]where you find your happiness
