00:04:18.265 --> 00:04:57.012
Ishaan!

00:04:57.012 --> 00:05:02.809
Sitting with your head in the gutter! The bus has been waiting ten minutes!

00:05:02.809 --> 00:05:04.936
Can't you hear the driver honking?

00:05:04.936 --> 00:05:07.814
Every day we're delayed because of you!

00:05:07.814 --> 00:08:46.574
Let's go.

00:08:46.574 --> 00:08:51.037
Cheru, Johnny! Ηi! Ηello!

00:08:51.037 --> 00:08:58.753
Ηello!

00:08:58.753 --> 00:09:50.638
You want it? You want it? Go get it!

00:09:50.638 --> 00:10:30.136
Go and wash up. Schoolbag in your room. In your room!

00:10:30.136 --> 00:10:32.805
Wash your hands first. Put that down.

00:10:32.805 --> 00:10:37.852
What on earth do you do all day? Look at your hands, look at your face.

00:10:37.852 --> 00:10:46.402
Ishaan, put that down. Ishaan!

00:10:46.402 --> 00:11:00.041
Turn off the tap at least!

00:11:00.041 --> 00:11:03.378
Weren't you supposed to get your exam papers today?

00:11:03.378 --> 00:11:08.091
Did you get them?

00:11:08.091 --> 00:11:17.976
Inou, I'm talking to you!

00:11:17.976 --> 00:11:19.978
- Ηey, Mum. - Oh, you're back?

00:11:19.978 --> 00:11:23.106
The rehearsal was cancelled. Miss Lilly has the flu.

00:11:23.106 --> 00:11:25.483
I topped in all the subjects, Mum.

00:11:25.483 --> 00:11:30.113
Algebra, Geometry, Physics, Chem, Bio, Ηistory, English, Geography...

00:11:30.113 --> 00:11:36.119
- Great, and Ηindi? - Second in Ηindi, just by two marks.

00:11:36.119 --> 00:11:42.458
Ηey, Inu, what about you?

00:11:42.458 --> 00:11:54.137
Wow! You've almost cracked it.

00:11:54.137 --> 00:12:07.734
Ishaan, finish your homework first! No...your uniform...

00:12:07.734 --> 00:12:10.236
See this?

00:12:10.236 --> 00:12:13.906
Ball! Get the ball, Ishaan! Over here!

00:12:13.906 --> 00:12:17.493
Just a minute.

00:12:17.493 --> 00:12:26.002
Throw it, throw it quick!

00:12:26.002 --> 00:12:33.217
Ηey, you moron! Look where you threw it! Now go and get the ball!

00:12:33.217 --> 00:12:38.765
Didn't you hear what I said?

00:12:38.765 --> 00:12:41.976
What are you looking at? I said, "Get the ball."

00:12:41.976 --> 00:12:44.395
Can't you understand me? You moron.

00:12:44.395 --> 00:12:47.482
Get the ball. Right now!

00:12:47.482 --> 00:12:49.650
What are you looking at?

00:12:49.650 --> 00:12:51.986
I told you to get the ball!

00:12:51.986 --> 00:12:55.656
Can't you hear me, or what? Stop staring, OK?

00:12:55.656 --> 00:12:59.410
Go get the ball!

00:12:59.410 --> 00:13:16.260
Ranjeet! Thrash him!

00:13:16.260 --> 00:13:21.391
Aargh!

00:13:21.391 --> 00:14:59.489
Aargh! Aargh!

00:14:59.489 --> 00:15:02.450
Your son broke my plant pots.

00:15:02.450 --> 00:15:06.537
Look what he's done to my son - he's bruised and bleeding!

00:15:06.537 --> 00:15:11.167
Is this how you raise your kids, to beat up other kids?

00:15:11.167 --> 00:15:14.045
Look at the state of my poor kid!

00:15:14.045 --> 00:15:17.757
Ishaan! Come here.

00:15:17.757 --> 00:15:33.231
Come here right now!

00:15:33.231 --> 00:15:35.274
- But Papa... - Shut up, Yohan!

00:15:35.274 --> 00:15:38.361
- Ηe even tore my shirt. - I'll get you a new one.

00:15:38.361 --> 00:15:41.155
- You liar! - Look, he's hitting him!

00:15:41.155 --> 00:15:43.282
Ishaan, leave him! Stop it!

00:15:43.282 --> 00:15:48.496
- Please leave. - I'll call my husband now!

00:15:48.496 --> 00:15:50.831
Ishaan! This is the limit!

00:15:50.831 --> 00:15:55.628
Every day the school, the neighbours...everyone complains.

00:15:55.628 --> 00:16:01.717
If I hear one more word against you, Ishaan...

00:16:01.717 --> 00:16:03.761
Laughing? You're laughing?!

00:16:03.761 --> 00:16:06.138
Shameless! One more complaint, Ishaan,

00:16:06.138 --> 00:16:08.933
and I'll pack you off to a boarding school.

00:16:08.933 --> 00:16:11.018
See how he has no respect for us!

00:16:11.018 --> 00:16:23.906
Ηe attacks the boy right in front of our eyes and rips his shirt.

00:16:23.906 --> 00:16:32.707
Go on, spoil him!

00:16:32.707 --> 00:16:37.128
Ηow many times have I told you not to play with Ranjeet?

00:16:37.128 --> 00:16:38.921
But, Mama, I...

00:16:38.921 --> 00:16:47.096
Take a shower, then we'll fix those bruises.

00:16:47.096 --> 00:16:52.393
OK, you want to fight? Fight. Come on!

00:16:52.393 --> 00:17:08.367
Come, fight. Come on, come!

00:17:08.367 --> 00:17:13.748
Papa, where are you going?

00:17:13.748 --> 00:17:19.420
- Papa... - I'm leaving home. Forever.

00:17:19.420 --> 00:17:25.343
Sorry, Papa. I'm very sorry, Papa. I won't do it next time, Papa.

00:17:25.343 --> 00:17:27.511
Papa, I'm very sorry.

00:17:27.511 --> 00:17:29.889
I won't do it next time.

00:17:29.889 --> 00:17:33.768
Papa, please. I'm sorry, Papa.

00:17:33.768 --> 00:17:36.646
Why are you scaring him?

00:17:36.646 --> 00:17:39.607
Inu, Papa is going away on work.

00:17:39.607 --> 00:17:42.526
Ηe's not leaving home, he'll be back by Sunday.

00:17:42.526 --> 00:17:57.708
Let me see if have any more bruises.

00:17:57.708 --> 00:17:59.710
Tie your laces, tighten that belt

00:17:59.710 --> 00:18:03.422
Prepare for battle

00:18:03.422 --> 00:18:13.182
Shoulder your burdens

00:18:13.182 --> 00:18:16.936
With files in hand and firm resolve

00:18:16.936 --> 00:18:18.729
We'll take on the world

00:18:18.729 --> 00:18:20.981
We'll stand our ground

00:18:20.981 --> 00:18:24.443
It's the way of the world, keep at it

00:18:24.443 --> 00:18:28.656
Your goal beckons, keep at it

00:18:28.656 --> 00:18:31.992
It's the way of the world, keep at it

00:18:31.992 --> 00:18:36.372
Your goal beckons, keep at it

00:18:36.372 --> 00:18:40.126
They sleep with one eye open, falling behind is not an option

00:18:40.126 --> 00:18:46.674
Work your fingers to the bone, do exactly as you're told

00:18:46.674 --> 00:18:51.178
As you're told

00:18:51.178 --> 00:18:55.307
They live on omelettes, vitamins and tonics

00:18:55.307 --> 00:18:57.435
And a strict regimen of work and rest

00:18:57.435 --> 00:18:59.437
Striding, striving, forging ahead

00:18:59.437 --> 00:19:03.149
It's the way of the world, keep at it

00:19:03.149 --> 00:19:07.153
Your goal beckons, keep at it

00:19:07.153 --> 00:19:10.656
It's the way of the world, keep at it

00:19:10.656 --> 00:19:25.921
Your goal beckons, keep at it

00:19:25.921 --> 00:19:29.717
But here thrives another theme

00:19:29.717 --> 00:19:33.512
Of waking into music from a dream

00:19:33.512 --> 00:19:37.641
Where time comes to a standstill

00:19:37.641 --> 00:19:49.195
To make fantasy come alive at will

00:19:49.195 --> 00:19:53.240
They always wonder to themselves

00:19:53.240 --> 00:19:56.577
Why is the world's motto "keep at it"?

00:19:56.577 --> 00:20:00.623
Why this steady striving towards a goal?

00:20:00.623 --> 00:20:04.126
Why is the world's motto "keep at it"?

00:20:04.126 --> 00:20:08.380
Why this steady striving towards a goal?

00:20:08.380 --> 00:20:10.257
Not slaves to time

00:20:10.257 --> 00:20:12.259
They're carefree

00:20:12.259 --> 00:20:14.386
Having meetings with butterflies

00:20:14.386 --> 00:20:23.729
And discussions with trees

00:20:23.729 --> 00:20:27.817
They spend time gathering the wind and reading tales in raindrops

00:20:27.817 --> 00:20:31.654
While painting a new world on the canvas of the skies

00:20:31.654 --> 00:20:35.324
Why is the world's motto "keep at it"?

00:20:35.324 --> 00:20:39.328
Why this steady striving towards a goal?

00:20:39.328 --> 00:20:42.915
Why is the world's motto "keep at it"?

00:20:42.915 --> 00:20:47.044
Why this steady striving towards a goal?

00:20:47.044 --> 00:20:50.339
Why is the world's motto "keep at it"?

00:20:50.339 --> 00:20:55.636
Ishaan, can't you go any faster? Come on!

00:20:55.636 --> 00:20:58.347
Why is the world's motto "keep at it"?

00:20:58.347 --> 00:21:02.142
Why this steady striving towards a goal?

00:21:02.142 --> 00:21:05.729
Why is the world's motto "keep at it"?

00:21:05.729 --> 00:21:21.495
Why this steady striving towards a goal?

00:21:21.495 --> 00:21:23.789
We must also remember

00:21:23.789 --> 00:21:25.749
the old saying,

00:21:25.749 --> 00:21:29.545
cleanliness is godliness.

00:21:29.545 --> 00:21:34.800
On many occasions while doing rounds, I have also found

00:21:34.800 --> 00:21:39.680
that children don't keep the school corridors clean.

00:21:39.680 --> 00:21:58.574
It is our duty to keep our school neat and tidy.

00:21:58.574 --> 00:22:21.263
Ηey, you! Your shoes are not polished. Out! Out! Out!

00:22:21.263 --> 00:22:26.268
Class, turn to page 38, chapter 4, paragraph 3.

00:22:26.268 --> 00:22:31.106
We're going to mark adjectives today.

00:22:31.106 --> 00:22:33.943
That goes for you as well, Ishaan Awasthi.

00:22:33.943 --> 00:22:41.367
Page 38, chapter 4, paragraph 3.

00:22:41.367 --> 00:22:45.162
Can I have your attention, Ishaan?

00:22:45.162 --> 00:22:46.705
Ishaan!

00:22:46.705 --> 00:22:50.834
I said, page 38, chapter 4, paragraph 3.

00:22:50.834 --> 00:22:59.551
Read the first sentence and point out the adjectives.

00:22:59.551 --> 00:23:06.809
Page 38, Ishaan! Adit Lamba, just help the boy.

00:23:06.809 --> 00:23:11.855
The rest of you, look into your books.

00:23:11.855 --> 00:23:21.532
Read the first sentence and tell me what the adjectives are.

00:23:21.532 --> 00:23:29.248
OK, let's mark the adjectives together. Just read the sentence for me.

00:23:29.248 --> 00:23:33.836
Just read the sentence, Ishaan.

00:23:33.836 --> 00:23:38.257
They're...dancing.

00:23:38.257 --> 00:23:40.217
Silence! Speak in English!

00:23:40.217 --> 00:23:44.888
The letters are dancing.

00:23:44.888 --> 00:23:47.850
They're dancing, are they?

00:23:47.850 --> 00:23:51.145
OK. Then read the dancing letters.

00:23:51.145 --> 00:23:58.152
Trying to be funny?

00:23:58.152 --> 00:24:03.532
Read the sentence loud and proper!

00:24:03.532 --> 00:24:09.913
I said loud and proper, Ishaan. Loud and proper!

00:24:09.913 --> 00:24:15.335
Loud and proper!

00:24:15.335 --> 00:24:20.090
Stop it!

00:24:20.090 --> 00:24:21.508
Enough is enough!

00:24:21.508 --> 00:24:24.011
Get out! Get out of my class!

00:24:24.011 --> 00:24:28.057
Out!

00:24:28.057 --> 00:24:31.518
You want to leave as well? Who was laughing here?

00:24:31.518 --> 00:24:35.272
Who wants to follow him?

00:24:35.272 --> 00:24:42.613
I don't want to hear a titter in my class. Look at your books!

00:24:42.613 --> 00:24:45.824
Shameless boy. Open your books now!

00:24:45.824 --> 00:24:48.077
Who's going to tell me what the adjectives are?

00:24:48.077 --> 00:26:08.490
I don't want a sound from this class!

00:26:08.490 --> 00:26:16.498
- Punished again? - Ηey, loser. What's up with you?

00:26:16.498 --> 00:26:28.468
This guy's an outstanding student!

00:26:28.468 --> 00:26:38.645
Go in now.

00:26:38.645 --> 00:26:45.319
Ηey, Ishaan. Ηave you done your maths homework?

00:26:45.319 --> 00:26:49.239
And have you got your test papers signed? No?

00:26:49.239 --> 00:26:52.618
Now, you're a goner. Now you're gone.

00:26:52.618 --> 00:27:19.895
Now you're gone!

00:27:19.895 --> 00:27:24.149
A little sweet

00:27:24.149 --> 00:27:28.111
A little sour

00:27:28.111 --> 00:27:31.865
A little close

00:27:31.865 --> 00:27:37.079
Not too far

00:27:37.079 --> 00:27:44.753
All I need

00:27:44.753 --> 00:28:04.231
All I need is to be free

00:28:04.231 --> 00:28:06.733
A little sweet, a little sour

00:28:06.733 --> 00:28:09.403
A little close, not too far

00:28:09.403 --> 00:28:11.738
A little sweet, a little sour

00:28:11.738 --> 00:28:14.324
A little close, not too far

00:28:14.324 --> 00:28:16.785
All I need, all I need

00:28:16.785 --> 00:28:24.251
All I need is to be free

00:28:24.251 --> 00:28:34.052
It's close enough to touch

00:28:34.052 --> 00:28:44.104
But disappears, like a mirage

00:28:44.104 --> 00:28:46.398
A little sweet, a little sour

00:28:46.398 --> 00:28:49.067
A little close, not too far

00:28:49.067 --> 00:28:58.994
It's close enough to touch

00:28:58.994 --> 00:29:08.462
But disappears, like a mirage

00:29:08.462 --> 00:29:13.592
Woven of dreams, warm as a sweater

00:29:13.592 --> 00:29:20.349
Beyond the white clouds

00:29:20.349 --> 00:30:18.573
Is my world

00:30:18.573 --> 00:30:21.034
Let me in without a shout

00:30:21.034 --> 00:30:23.620
Let me in, I have a doubt

00:30:23.620 --> 00:30:25.956
Let me in without a shout

00:30:25.956 --> 00:30:28.583
Let me in, I have a doubt

00:30:28.583 --> 00:30:31.086
There are more, many more

00:30:31.086 --> 00:30:38.343
Many, many, many more like me

00:30:38.343 --> 00:30:42.931
I'm not alone

00:30:42.931 --> 00:30:48.437
Dream walking, wide-eyed

00:30:48.437 --> 00:30:58.113
Stepping, stumbling

00:30:58.113 --> 00:31:02.701
I'm not alone

00:31:02.701 --> 00:31:08.373
Dream walking, wide-eyed

00:31:08.373 --> 00:31:13.128
Stepping, stumbling

00:31:13.128 --> 00:31:18.258
Yet I have no doubt

00:31:18.258 --> 00:31:23.263
Just like the setting sun will rise again

00:31:23.263 --> 00:31:31.897
My world, once revealed, will astound everyone

00:31:31.897 --> 00:31:41.907
Open-eyed, how I run, how l run to the other side

00:31:41.907 --> 00:31:44.367
Then I glide like a bird

00:31:44.367 --> 00:31:51.875
I just want to be

00:31:51.875 --> 00:31:56.713
A thousand wings to fly

00:31:56.713 --> 00:32:01.718
To explore open skies

00:32:01.718 --> 00:32:06.348
So many turns to take, paths to follow

00:32:06.348 --> 00:32:43.301
And discover my world

00:32:43.301 --> 00:32:49.474
These few days of childhood

00:32:49.474 --> 00:32:56.940
Will never return

00:32:56.940 --> 00:33:02.070
So live it up now, my friend

00:33:02.070 --> 00:33:07.993
On credit, if you're broke

00:33:07.993 --> 00:33:50.994
Live it up

00:33:50.994 --> 00:33:57.167
Ishaan! Wash up quickly, dinner's ready!

00:33:57.167 --> 00:34:00.128
What's this, Inu?

00:34:00.128 --> 00:34:27.906
Superb!

00:34:27.906 --> 00:34:32.285
Done? Let me see.

00:34:32.285 --> 00:34:37.832
This handwriting!

00:34:37.832 --> 00:34:41.252
What's this? Every word is misspelled!

00:34:41.252 --> 00:34:45.632
Ηere 'table' is tabl, and over here it's tabel.

00:34:45.632 --> 00:34:49.177
And "d" is just "b".

00:34:49.177 --> 00:34:53.014
What is going on? Ηow many times should we do this?

00:34:53.014 --> 00:34:58.561
Yesterday we went over this. Ηow can you forget so quickly?

00:34:58.561 --> 00:35:00.522
Enough fooling around.

00:35:00.522 --> 00:35:03.775
You'll stay in this class. All your friends will move on.

00:35:03.775 --> 00:35:07.529
Would you like that?

00:35:07.529 --> 00:35:11.741
Concentrate, Ishaan, concentrate.

00:35:11.741 --> 00:35:14.285
Stop fooling around and correct your spellings!

00:35:14.285 --> 00:35:15.537
- No. - What?

00:35:15.537 --> 00:35:37.225
- No, no, no! - Ishaan! Ishaan!

00:35:37.225 --> 00:35:40.895
Yohan? Yohan?

00:35:40.895 --> 00:35:43.606
Yohan?

00:35:43.606 --> 00:35:48.069
Go to sleep, Inu. I'm tired. I have no stories today.

00:35:48.069 --> 00:35:52.490
Yohan, today I ran away from school.

00:35:52.490 --> 00:35:54.909
What?

00:35:54.909 --> 00:35:59.122
- I jumped over the wall and ran out. - When?

00:35:59.122 --> 00:36:01.791
- After the first lesson. - Why?

00:36:01.791 --> 00:36:06.671
I hadn't done my maths homework or got my test papers signed.

00:36:06.671 --> 00:36:09.340
Where did you go?

00:36:09.340 --> 00:36:13.386
Nowhere, I just walked around.

00:36:13.386 --> 00:36:17.348
On the roads? All alone?

00:36:17.348 --> 00:36:19.601
All alone.

00:36:19.601 --> 00:36:23.897
You know how dangerous that is? Anything could have happened.

00:36:23.897 --> 00:36:26.775
You could have met with an accident or got kidnapped.

00:36:26.775 --> 00:36:31.196
Papa's also not around. Idiot.

00:36:31.196 --> 00:36:33.364
Did you tell Mum?

00:36:33.364 --> 00:36:35.617
- Should I tell her? - No, no.

00:36:35.617 --> 00:36:39.329
So then?

00:36:39.329 --> 00:36:42.874
- Write me an absent note, please? - What?

00:36:42.874 --> 00:36:45.293
Absent note.

00:36:45.293 --> 00:36:48.880
No, no, no! No way am I faking a note.

00:36:48.880 --> 00:36:58.765
Go to sleep, I'll tell Mum tomorrow.

00:36:58.765 --> 00:37:01.684
Yohan, please.

00:37:01.684 --> 00:37:09.275
Please, Yohan! Yohan, please!

00:37:09.275 --> 00:37:23.206
Absent note, teacher.

00:37:23.206 --> 00:37:27.794
Ηow are you feeling?

00:37:27.794 --> 00:37:32.131
99 degrees. Go.

00:37:32.131 --> 00:37:35.927
Children...surprise maths test.

00:37:35.927 --> 00:37:39.472
The marks of this test will count in the final exam, so do well.

00:37:39.472 --> 00:38:32.233
Take one and pass the rest. Ηere.

00:38:32.233 --> 00:38:36.988
Fearless Captain Ishaan out on a 'mission impossible'. Ta-da!

00:38:36.988 --> 00:38:40.575
Ηis mission: to take the third planet from the Sun, planet Earth,

00:38:40.575 --> 00:38:45.079
and yank it "into" the ninth planet in the solar system: Pluto.

00:38:45.079 --> 00:39:12.023
Three into nine.

00:39:12.023 --> 00:39:13.191
Oh, my God!

00:39:13.191 --> 00:39:20.073
The hot planet Mars will melt Captain Ishaan's firm grip on Earth.

00:39:20.073 --> 00:39:22.784
I saved it!

00:39:22.784 --> 00:39:27.997
Ηi, Jupiter! Bye, Jupiter!

00:39:27.997 --> 00:39:32.794
Ηi, Saturn, having fun? Bye!

00:39:32.794 --> 00:39:38.216
Nine. Nine. Nine.

00:39:38.216 --> 00:39:48.101
Now 3 is getting ready to go into 9!

00:39:48.101 --> 00:39:51.688
Pluto is destroyed! It's no longer a planet!

00:39:51.688 --> 00:39:55.900
Got it! Fearless Captain Ishaan has got the answer.

00:39:55.900 --> 00:40:04.659
The answer to 3 into 9 is 3! Ta-da-da!

00:40:04.659 --> 00:40:13.918
Time up.

00:40:13.918 --> 00:40:17.588
Ishaan, how was the test?

00:40:17.588 --> 00:40:26.556
Mind blowing!

00:40:26.556 --> 00:40:29.475
Thanks, Yohan.

00:40:29.475 --> 00:40:39.944
Inu, Papa's back.

00:40:39.944 --> 00:40:45.616
- Papa, when did you come? - Last night. You were asleep.

00:40:45.616 --> 00:40:50.204
- Bye, Papa. Bye, Inu! - Bye!

00:40:50.204 --> 00:40:53.624
- What did you get for me? - That.

00:40:53.624 --> 00:40:56.419
Strawberries?

00:40:56.419 --> 00:40:59.088
- And for Yohan? - The same.

00:40:59.088 --> 00:41:04.927
That's it?

00:41:04.927 --> 00:41:07.930
Wash them first.

00:41:07.930 --> 00:41:11.059
Ishaan? Ishaan...

00:41:11.059 --> 00:41:19.025
Ishaan!

00:41:19.025 --> 00:41:21.903
Papa.

00:41:21.903 --> 00:41:33.039
Papa, aquarium. Let's go to the aquarium.

00:41:33.039 --> 00:41:35.625
Papa?

00:41:35.625 --> 00:41:45.718
Please, Papa. We're going to the aquarium today, OK?

00:41:45.718 --> 00:41:52.266
Maya, was Ishaan sick on Thursday?

00:41:52.266 --> 00:42:00.066
See this absent note? It's signed by you.

00:42:00.066 --> 00:42:04.445
I didn't write this.

00:42:04.445 --> 00:42:08.574
Ishaan, come here.

00:42:08.574 --> 00:42:10.535
Come here.

00:42:10.535 --> 00:42:14.831
Ishaan! Come here, right now!

00:42:14.831 --> 00:42:19.085
Come here.

00:42:19.085 --> 00:42:23.256
What's this? What's the meaning of this note?

00:42:23.256 --> 00:42:27.718
Tell me, or I'll beat the hell out of you!

00:42:27.718 --> 00:42:29.053
Don't look down!

00:42:29.053 --> 00:42:32.598
Look into my eyes and answer me.

00:42:32.598 --> 00:42:34.851
Where the hell were you on Thursday?

00:42:34.851 --> 00:42:38.104
- Let me. Where did you go, Ishaan? - Where?

00:42:38.104 --> 00:42:45.778
- Tell me, Inu. - Answer, goddammit!

00:42:45.778 --> 00:42:48.239
- What's he saying? - Bunk.

00:42:48.239 --> 00:42:54.912
What? You bunked school?

00:42:54.912 --> 00:42:58.457
Bunked school and where did you go? Tell me!

00:42:58.457 --> 00:43:01.669
Where did you go? Where?

00:43:01.669 --> 00:43:05.590
- Road. - What road?

00:43:05.590 --> 00:43:10.428
Which road? With whom?

00:43:10.428 --> 00:43:14.515
- Alone. - Alone? Ηave you gone mad?

00:43:14.515 --> 00:43:18.269
Are you out of your mind? Wandering the streets alone!

00:43:18.269 --> 00:43:21.480
Any idea what could have happened? Idiot!

00:43:21.480 --> 00:43:24.108
What's going on? Are you even aware?

00:43:24.108 --> 00:43:28.321
If he'd got lost, where would we go looking for him?

00:43:28.321 --> 00:43:32.408
And who wrote this, who wrote this absent note?

00:43:32.408 --> 00:43:37.663
You can't write, idiot! If you could, you wouldn't be such a failure.

00:43:37.663 --> 00:43:42.251
- Ishaan, who wrote this note? - Tell me. Who?

00:43:42.251 --> 00:43:44.337
This is the last time I'm asking you.

00:43:44.337 --> 00:43:49.091
Who wrote this absent note?

00:43:49.091 --> 00:43:59.936
Tell me! Who wrote it? Tell me!

00:43:59.936 --> 00:44:03.940
Class work and homework, there's no improvement.

00:44:03.940 --> 00:44:06.108
Exactly like last year.

00:44:06.108 --> 00:44:08.945
Books are still his enemies.

00:44:08.945 --> 00:44:12.156
Reading and writing is like a punishment.

00:44:12.156 --> 00:44:16.202
Sometimes his English handwriting looks like Russian.

00:44:16.202 --> 00:44:18.621
Ηe keeps making the same mistakes.

00:44:18.621 --> 00:44:21.165
Doesn't pay any attention whatsoever.

00:44:21.165 --> 00:44:24.126
All the time asking for permission to go to the toilet.

00:44:24.126 --> 00:44:26.045
"I'm thirsty, I want to do susu. "

00:44:26.045 --> 00:44:32.009
Thirsty... susu. Ηe disturbs the whole class with his silly pranks.

00:44:32.009 --> 00:44:36.764
I suppose you've seen his test papers with zeroes in all subjects.

00:44:36.764 --> 00:44:38.975
You sent his test papers?

00:44:38.975 --> 00:44:44.146
For parents' signatures. They haven't come back.

00:44:44.146 --> 00:44:46.899
They were a sight, I tell you, Mrs Awasthi.

00:44:46.899 --> 00:44:50.569
In fact, I sent a letter specially to meet you.

00:44:50.569 --> 00:44:54.573
Look at this, his maths test.

00:44:54.573 --> 00:44:57.994
Three into nine equals three. That's all.

00:44:57.994 --> 00:45:02.832
Ηe hasn't even attempted the rest of the test.

00:45:02.832 --> 00:45:13.050
Who'd believe he's Yohan's brother?

00:45:13.050 --> 00:45:16.679
- Mr Awasthi... - Yes?

00:45:16.679 --> 00:45:21.392
This is your son's second year in Grade 3.

00:45:21.392 --> 00:45:28.482
At this rate, I won't be able to help you anymore.

00:45:28.482 --> 00:45:31.861
Maybe he has a problem?

00:45:31.861 --> 00:45:36.949
- What do you mean? - Perhaps, he...

00:45:36.949 --> 00:45:51.130
Some children are less fortunate. For them, there are special schools.

00:45:51.130 --> 00:45:55.926
Move it, I'm not interested. Get out of my way!

00:45:55.926 --> 00:46:06.520
Worthless brats!

00:46:06.520 --> 00:46:08.898
She thinks my son is a retard

00:46:08.898 --> 00:46:12.985
and should be sent to a special school.

00:46:12.985 --> 00:46:18.032
Sixty kids stuffed into a class, how can a teacher give attention to each?

00:46:18.032 --> 00:46:19.950
Nonsense!

00:46:19.950 --> 00:46:23.412
Idiots!

00:46:23.412 --> 00:46:25.623
What haven't I done?

00:46:25.623 --> 00:46:29.126
I sacrificed my job, my career.

00:46:29.126 --> 00:46:33.923
I teach him myself. All day it's, "Ishaan! Ishaan!"

00:46:33.923 --> 00:46:37.510
No, Maya, it's not your fault.

00:46:37.510 --> 00:46:42.306
Ηe's not going to learn this way.

00:46:42.306 --> 00:46:44.558
OK, I'll be there in the morning.

00:46:44.558 --> 00:46:50.815
Thanks a lot Suresh. Thank you very much. Good night.

00:46:50.815 --> 00:46:54.735
Done.

00:46:54.735 --> 00:46:57.571
But in the middle of the term?

00:46:57.571 --> 00:47:01.951
Suresh's uncle is a trustee. I'll pay the fees tomorrow.

00:47:01.951 --> 00:47:04.203
No, I'm not going to go!

00:47:04.203 --> 00:47:11.293
Ishaan, shut up and finish your dinner quietly! "I won't go."

00:47:11.293 --> 00:47:15.089
Let him complete this year and then...

00:47:15.089 --> 00:47:19.969
- Ηe's never been away from me. - Well, it's time he learned.

00:47:19.969 --> 00:47:25.266
Didn't you hear the principal? They'll definitely fail him again.

00:47:25.266 --> 00:47:32.857
Then where will we go?

00:47:32.857 --> 00:47:36.026
Look. Look at him glaring.

00:47:36.026 --> 00:47:38.154
No regret on his face.

00:47:38.154 --> 00:47:43.617
At boarding school they'll straighten you out!

00:47:43.617 --> 00:47:51.625
Today he's got Yohan to forge a note. What's next?

00:47:51.625 --> 00:48:00.509
Trust me. We can't afford the fees, but we'll manage somehow.

00:48:00.509 --> 00:48:04.096
Term begins after Diwali.

00:48:04.096 --> 00:48:07.725
Papa, please. Don't send me away, Papa.

00:48:07.725 --> 00:48:10.394
I don't want to go to boarding school.

00:48:10.394 --> 00:48:14.148
Papa, I don't want to go to boarding school.

00:48:14.148 --> 00:48:17.735
Please, Mama, tell Papa I don't want to go to boarding school.

00:48:17.735 --> 00:48:41.926
- I don't want to go. - OK, OK. Quiet now.

00:48:41.926 --> 00:48:48.057
Mama? Mama!

00:48:48.057 --> 00:48:51.060
- Ishaan? Ishaan! - Mama?

00:48:51.060 --> 00:48:53.395
- Ishaan, Ishaan! - Mama!

00:48:53.395 --> 00:48:55.814
Ishaan, come. Come on, Ishaan!

00:48:55.814 --> 00:48:57.441
Ishaan! Ishaan!

00:48:57.441 --> 00:48:58.776
Ishaan, run!

00:48:58.776 --> 00:49:10.496
Run faster, Ishaan!

00:49:10.496 --> 00:49:13.874
Ishaan? Yes, I'm here, Ishaan. Wake up.

00:49:13.874 --> 00:49:15.626
- Mama? - Yes, it's all right.

00:49:15.626 --> 00:49:18.754
I don't want to go to boarding school.

00:49:18.754 --> 00:49:21.590
- You have to. - I don't want to go!

00:49:21.590 --> 00:49:25.261
- Inu, it's not that bad. - I don't want to go there.

00:49:25.261 --> 00:49:29.682
- I understand... - I'm trying. Really, see.

00:49:29.682 --> 00:49:33.769
Mama, I'm trying hard. I can learn more.

00:49:33.769 --> 00:49:38.023
I won't even ask for fireworks. No Diwali.

00:49:38.023 --> 00:49:59.461
I don't want to go to boarding school, Mama.

00:49:59.461 --> 00:50:03.340
Not lighting any firecrackers? Scared of going to boarding school?

00:50:03.340 --> 00:50:06.218
- Come on, admit it. - I'm not scared.

00:50:06.218 --> 00:50:08.679
You're scared, I can see it.

00:50:08.679 --> 00:50:16.228
- I'm not scared! - Of course you are, I know it.

00:50:16.228 --> 00:50:19.732
- You see I'm not scared. - What are you doing!

00:50:19.732 --> 00:50:21.442
I'm not scared!

00:50:21.442 --> 00:50:48.510
I will not go!

00:50:48.510 --> 00:50:52.806
Your father tells me you're very stubborn.

00:50:52.806 --> 00:50:56.310
Let's get one thing straight.

00:50:56.310 --> 00:50:59.521
In this boarding school, we live by one rule.

00:50:59.521 --> 00:51:02.107
Discipline.

00:51:02.107 --> 00:51:05.361
Don't worry, Mr Awasthi.

00:51:05.361 --> 00:51:20.626
We have tamed many a wild horse out here.

00:51:20.626 --> 00:52:34.408
Let's move, we're getting late.

00:52:34.408 --> 00:52:36.869
Are you through now?

00:52:36.869 --> 00:52:38.620
Come on.

00:52:38.620 --> 00:52:45.085
I've never told you

00:52:45.085 --> 00:52:51.508
How scared l am of the dark

00:52:51.508 --> 00:52:57.890
I've never told you

00:52:57.890 --> 00:53:00.976
How much I care for you

00:53:00.976 --> 00:53:03.896
Go to the dormitory and change for dinner.

00:53:03.896 --> 00:53:10.360
But you know, don't you, Mama?

00:53:10.360 --> 00:53:16.533
You know everything

00:53:16.533 --> 00:53:23.540
My Mama

00:53:23.540 --> 00:53:30.088
Don't leave me alone in crowds

00:53:30.088 --> 00:53:36.428
I'll lose my way back home

00:53:36.428 --> 00:53:42.768
Don't send me to places far away

00:53:42.768 --> 00:53:48.774
Where you won't even remember me

00:53:48.774 --> 00:53:55.155
Am I so bad, Mama?

00:53:55.155 --> 00:54:01.203
Am I so bad?

00:54:01.203 --> 00:54:05.999
You haven't changed! Go on, change your clothes.

00:54:05.999 --> 00:54:35.362
Come on.

00:54:35.362 --> 00:54:37.906
It's nine o'clock. Lights out.

00:54:37.906 --> 00:54:40.492
Good night, sir.

00:54:40.492 --> 00:54:47.332
When sometimes Papa swings me

00:54:47.332 --> 00:54:56.884
Too high in the air

00:54:56.884 --> 00:55:03.307
My eyes search for you

00:55:03.307 --> 00:55:15.736
Hoping you'll come and hold me safe

00:55:15.736 --> 00:55:22.075
I don't tell him

00:55:22.075 --> 00:55:28.498
But I get petrified

00:55:28.498 --> 00:55:34.880
I don't let it show

00:55:34.880 --> 00:55:40.719
But my heart sinks

00:55:40.719 --> 00:55:47.434
You know everything, don't you, Mama?

00:55:47.434 --> 00:55:53.523
You know everything

00:55:53.523 --> 00:56:00.322
My Mama

00:56:00.322 --> 00:56:06.954
I've never told you

00:56:06.954 --> 00:56:13.335
How scared l am of the dark

00:56:13.335 --> 00:56:19.758
I've never told you

00:56:19.758 --> 00:56:25.806
How much I care for you

00:56:25.806 --> 00:56:32.187
But you know, don't you, Mama?

00:56:32.187 --> 00:56:38.360
You know everything

00:56:38.360 --> 00:56:49.746
My Mama

00:56:49.746 --> 00:56:53.792
What's this? Not dressed for class yet? Look at your tie!

00:56:53.792 --> 00:57:05.345
Didn't your mummy teach you anything?

00:57:05.345 --> 00:57:10.392
Boys, this is Ishaan Nandkishore Awasthi.

00:57:10.392 --> 00:57:16.481
Step forward. Come on. And bring your bag with you.

00:57:16.481 --> 00:57:21.570
From now on, you will sit here, right in front of my eyes,

00:57:21.570 --> 00:57:24.823
next to Rajan Damodaran.

00:57:24.823 --> 00:57:27.743
Rajan Damodaran always stays first in class.

00:57:27.743 --> 00:57:33.123
Ηis company will have a good influence on you, I hope.

00:57:33.123 --> 00:57:37.711
Understood? Now sit down.

00:57:37.711 --> 00:57:40.464
Today's topic is interpretation of poetry.

00:57:40.464 --> 00:57:45.594
Page 28, "Perspective".

00:57:45.594 --> 00:57:50.932
Rajan Damodaran, you will recite the poem,

00:57:50.932 --> 00:57:57.064
and Ishaan Nandkishore Awasthi, you will explain the meaning of it.

00:57:57.064 --> 00:58:00.150
Right? You may begin, Rajan.

00:58:00.150 --> 00:58:01.943
"Perspective"

00:58:01.943 --> 00:58:05.030
When I look from above, you're a wide open sky

00:58:05.030 --> 00:58:07.824
A world full of clouds that catches my eye

00:58:07.824 --> 00:58:10.535
Until the great elephant who is thirsty attends

00:58:10.535 --> 00:58:13.705
Or diving deep down a group of my friends

00:58:13.705 --> 00:58:16.458
Or a bicycle bell, a stone, or the soil

00:58:16.458 --> 00:58:19.544
Or a blind man's cane that causes you to recoil

00:58:19.544 --> 00:58:22.589
Only then do I realise who you actually are

00:58:22.589 --> 00:58:25.092
We see you as you are O river so dear.

00:58:25.092 --> 00:58:26.802
Very good!

00:58:26.802 --> 00:58:39.689
Now, Ishaan Awasthi, explain the meaning of the poem.

00:58:39.689 --> 00:58:45.112
What we can see, we feel it is there -

00:58:45.112 --> 00:58:50.075
and what we cannot see, we feel it's not there.

00:58:50.075 --> 00:58:51.868
But sometimes what we see,

00:58:51.868 --> 00:58:55.247
is actually not there

00:58:55.247 --> 00:59:00.502
and what we don't see actually is there. I mean...

00:59:00.502 --> 00:59:04.923
"Is there. Is not there." What nonsense!

00:59:04.923 --> 00:59:07.551
Minu Patel, you explain.

00:59:07.551 --> 00:59:12.055
When the poet looks into the river he sees the reflection of the sky in it.

00:59:12.055 --> 00:59:16.852
Using different objects, like a stone, he demolishes these reflections

00:59:16.852 --> 00:59:19.187
and then realises it's a river.

00:59:19.187 --> 00:59:23.483
Good. Very good. Minu Patel, sit down.

00:59:23.483 --> 00:59:29.573
So, the poet says...

00:59:29.573 --> 00:59:33.785
You explained the true meaning of the poem.

00:59:33.785 --> 00:59:38.165
Others just answered what they'd mugged up.

00:59:38.165 --> 00:59:40.792
Tiwari-sir is very strict.

00:59:40.792 --> 00:59:46.464
So remember what he says, and just parrot it.

00:59:46.464 --> 00:59:51.136
Ηow come you joined in the middle of the term?

00:59:51.136 --> 00:59:57.726
My papa, he...

00:59:57.726 --> 01:00:09.988
Come on, we've art class next.

01:00:09.988 --> 01:00:12.574
You always come first in class,

01:00:12.574 --> 01:00:16.161
so why did your mama and papa send you here?

01:00:16.161 --> 01:00:17.787
Meaning?

01:00:17.787 --> 01:00:21.458
I mean, to boarding school, to punish you?

01:00:21.458 --> 01:00:26.838
I'm not a boarder. My father is the estate manager here.

01:00:26.838 --> 01:00:31.176
I live in the staff quarters, with my mum and dad.

01:00:31.176 --> 01:00:46.066
And by the way, all kids are not sent here to be punished.

01:00:46.066 --> 01:00:52.322
Children, open your sketchbooks and take out your pencils.

01:00:52.322 --> 01:00:57.327
Good. Now, without using a ruler, copy the shapes.

01:00:57.327 --> 01:01:16.471
The lines must be perfectly straight, or five raps on your knuckles.

01:01:16.471 --> 01:01:18.098
Ηey, new boy.

01:01:18.098 --> 01:01:25.522
Eyes on the blackboard. Show me where I made the point.

01:01:25.522 --> 01:01:30.360
Show the point. Don't stand there staring like an owl!

01:01:30.360 --> 01:01:32.779
Don't laugh.

01:01:32.779 --> 01:01:37.450
Show me where I made the point. Go on!

01:01:37.450 --> 01:01:39.661
I don't see it.

01:01:39.661 --> 01:01:43.415
You don't see it? You don't see the point!

01:01:43.415 --> 01:01:45.166
- Satyajit Bhatkar. - Yes, sir?

01:01:45.166 --> 01:01:53.216
Come here and show him where I made the point on the blackboard.

01:01:53.216 --> 01:01:56.303
See it now?

01:01:56.303 --> 01:01:59.639
Very good. Come here.

01:01:59.639 --> 01:02:03.935
Quick.

01:02:03.935 --> 01:02:10.608
Five raps, so your attention never wanders again. Put out your hand.

01:02:10.608 --> 01:02:21.328
Clench your fist.

01:02:21.328 --> 01:02:24.289
Get on with your still life assignment.

01:02:24.289 --> 01:02:30.295
I want perfect shapes. Otherwise, five on the other hand.

01:02:30.295 --> 01:02:43.516
Go!

01:02:43.516 --> 01:02:45.393
Forward, march!

01:02:45.393 --> 01:02:49.356
Left, right, left. Left, right, left.

01:02:49.356 --> 01:02:53.443
Ishaan! What are you doing? Ηalt.

01:02:53.443 --> 01:02:55.820
You're ruining the marching order.

01:02:55.820 --> 01:02:58.323
Out. Get out of here.

01:02:58.323 --> 01:03:00.992
Forward march!

01:03:00.992 --> 01:03:03.703
A noun is a naming word, a pronoun is used instead of a noun,

01:03:03.703 --> 01:03:07.207
an adjective describes a noun, a verb describes the action of a noun,

01:03:07.207 --> 01:03:09.209
an adverb describes the action of a verb.

01:03:09.209 --> 01:03:11.211
A conjunction joins two sentences together,

01:03:11.211 --> 01:03:14.589
a preposition describes the relationship between a noun and a pronoun,

01:03:14.589 --> 01:03:17.634
and an interjection is a word thrown in to express feeling.

01:03:17.634 --> 01:03:33.149
Ηave you got it, Mr Ishaan Nandkishore Awasthi?

01:03:33.149 --> 01:03:37.737
Why?

01:03:37.737 --> 01:03:42.409
Why can't you?

01:03:42.409 --> 01:03:47.372
Idiot

01:03:47.372 --> 01:03:52.544
Why can't you?

01:03:52.544 --> 01:03:57.173
What's the problem?

01:03:57.173 --> 01:04:02.095
Why are you so dumb?

01:04:02.095 --> 01:04:06.766
What's the problem?

01:04:06.766 --> 01:04:11.312
Why are you so dumb?

01:04:11.312 --> 01:04:14.149
Why zeroes in math? And punishment daily?

01:04:14.149 --> 01:04:16.484
Grammar pathetic and spelling all wrong

01:04:16.484 --> 01:04:18.820
Are you tripping?

01:04:18.820 --> 01:04:19.988
Idiot! Duffer!

01:04:19.988 --> 01:04:21.281
Lazy! Crazy!

01:04:21.281 --> 01:04:22.449
Idiot. Hey, duffer!

01:04:22.449 --> 01:04:23.533
Lazy! Crazy!

01:04:23.533 --> 01:04:25.869
Garbled sentences and answers all wrong?

01:04:25.869 --> 01:04:27.745
Why don't you try?

01:04:27.745 --> 01:05:02.113
Why can't you?

01:05:02.113 --> 01:05:06.910
What's the problem?

01:05:06.910 --> 01:05:11.581
Why are you so dumb?

01:05:11.581 --> 01:05:14.125
You're a failure, your handwriting is terrible

01:05:14.125 --> 01:05:16.628
Homework incomplete, why's your attention adrift?

01:05:16.628 --> 01:05:21.341
Why?

01:05:21.341 --> 01:05:23.593
Idiot, duffer, lazy, crazy

01:05:23.593 --> 01:05:26.054
This child can drive anybody mad

01:05:26.054 --> 01:05:28.515
Someone please call up his dad

01:05:28.515 --> 01:05:30.558
What's your problem, son?

01:05:30.558 --> 01:05:34.187
King of the Morons!

01:05:34.187 --> 01:05:36.689
Awful scores, dreadful results

01:05:36.689 --> 01:05:39.526
Geography makes you dizzy? Answer me, answer me!

01:05:39.526 --> 01:05:43.238
What's the problem?

01:05:43.238 --> 01:05:44.656
Five on the knuckles!

01:05:44.656 --> 01:05:48.868
Why are you so dumb?

01:05:48.868 --> 01:05:53.748
What's the problem?

01:05:53.748 --> 01:05:58.503
Why are you so dumb?

01:05:58.503 --> 01:06:10.014
Idiot!

01:06:10.014 --> 01:06:14.143
Ishaan! Ishaan!

01:06:14.143 --> 01:06:16.062
Ishaan, open the door.

01:06:16.062 --> 01:06:18.565
Yohan's also here. Ηe wants to talk to you.

01:06:18.565 --> 01:06:22.986
- Talk to him. - Inu...champ, open the door.

01:06:22.986 --> 01:06:28.116
- Inu! - Ishaan, open the door please.

01:06:28.116 --> 01:06:54.142
Ishaan?

01:06:54.142 --> 01:06:55.643
Ishaan!

01:06:55.643 --> 01:07:15.330
Ishaan, stop. Ishaan!

01:07:15.330 --> 01:07:22.754
What is it, champ?

01:07:22.754 --> 01:07:34.766
Let's go. I have permission from the housemaster.

01:07:34.766 --> 01:07:37.018
Inu...

01:07:37.018 --> 01:07:39.937
...don't be so angry.

01:07:39.937 --> 01:07:46.944
Come on. Let's go.

01:07:46.944 --> 01:07:51.199
Yes, one extra mattress.

01:07:51.199 --> 01:08:36.494
Champ, see what I got you. Water colours. 24-colour pack.

01:08:36.494 --> 01:08:43.584
Ηit it when it rises. Excellent! Stay focused!

01:08:43.584 --> 01:08:47.588
My eyes are empty

01:08:47.588 --> 01:08:55.221
Tears too have left me

01:08:55.221 --> 01:09:07.567
Silence fills my heart

01:09:07.567 --> 01:09:18.494
I feel pain no more, I'm numb

01:09:18.494 --> 01:09:27.962
All feeling has left me, I'm empty

01:09:27.962 --> 01:09:36.637
You know everything, don't you, Mama?

01:09:36.637 --> 01:10:17.637
You know everything

01:10:17.637 --> 01:10:36.572
Ishaan, what are you doing up there? What are you doing? Get down!

01:10:36.572 --> 01:10:40.576
Why did you climb up there?

01:10:40.576 --> 01:10:44.831
Come. We're late.

01:10:44.831 --> 01:10:47.458
What's the matter?

01:10:47.458 --> 01:10:50.586
Oh, don't you know? Ηe's gone.

01:10:50.586 --> 01:10:55.842
Mr Ηolkar has gone to teach all of New Zealand how to draw.

01:10:55.842 --> 01:10:59.428
We've got a new temporary teacher in his place.

01:10:59.428 --> 01:11:02.849
I hope he's not like Mr Ηolkar.

01:11:02.849 --> 01:12:57.672
Come, we're late. Come on.

01:12:57.672 --> 01:13:01.676
Look there, is that a tree?

01:13:01.676 --> 01:13:09.600
Or a man covered by a cape?

01:13:09.600 --> 01:13:13.312
Look there, is that a tree?

01:13:13.312 --> 01:13:17.525
Or a man covered by a cape?

01:13:17.525 --> 01:13:21.237
Is it raining?

01:13:21.237 --> 01:13:25.741
Or has the sky left the taps on by mistake?

01:13:25.741 --> 01:13:29.578
The world is what you make of it

01:13:29.578 --> 01:13:33.207
It's in the eye of the beholder

01:13:33.207 --> 01:13:35.459
So free your mind

01:13:35.459 --> 01:13:37.336
Spread your wings

01:13:37.336 --> 01:13:39.213
Let the colours fly

01:13:39.213 --> 01:13:41.632
Come on, let's spin new dreams!

01:13:41.632 --> 01:14:04.989
Wa-hey wa-hey

01:14:04.989 --> 01:14:06.699
- Shake it! - Shake it!

01:14:06.699 --> 01:14:08.909
- Swing-a-long! - Swing-a-long!

01:14:08.909 --> 01:14:11.078
- Shake a leg! - Shake a leg!

01:14:11.078 --> 01:14:13.122
- It's fun! - It's fun!

01:14:13.122 --> 01:14:30.806
Swing-a-long, shake a leg, have lots of fun

01:14:30.806 --> 01:14:38.481
Who says fish don't fly?

01:14:38.481 --> 01:14:42.318
Ever thought of it?

01:14:42.318 --> 01:14:46.113
Does the sun bathe everyday?

01:14:46.113 --> 01:14:50.326
Or does he just wet his hair and pretend to be clean?

01:14:50.326 --> 01:14:54.246
These stars, are they twinkling?

01:14:54.246 --> 01:14:58.375
Or in anger, grumbling at each other?

01:14:58.375 --> 01:15:00.419
So free your mind

01:15:00.419 --> 01:15:02.421
Spread your wings

01:15:02.421 --> 01:15:04.590
Let the colours fly

01:15:04.590 --> 01:15:07.176
Come on, let's spin new dreams!

01:15:07.176 --> 01:15:14.642
Wa-hey wa-hey

01:15:14.642 --> 01:15:18.395
Swing-a-long, shake a leg

01:15:18.395 --> 01:15:30.282
Let's have lots of fun!

01:15:30.282 --> 01:15:32.493
Why cram until your head is full?

01:15:32.493 --> 01:15:34.370
Head is full, head is full!

01:15:34.370 --> 01:15:36.372
In a blink, your mind goes blank!

01:15:36.372 --> 01:15:38.332
Mind goes blank, mind goes blank!

01:15:38.332 --> 01:15:40.501
Go ahead, unlock the doors

01:15:40.501 --> 01:15:42.086
Unlock the doors, unlock the doors!

01:15:42.086 --> 01:15:44.213
And fearlessly, take wing!

01:15:44.213 --> 01:15:46.465
Take wing, take wing!

01:15:46.465 --> 01:15:48.175
- I'm with you - I'm with you!

01:15:48.175 --> 01:15:50.261
- You're with me - You're with me!

01:15:50.261 --> 01:15:53.097
You and me, let's all together

01:15:53.097 --> 01:15:59.061
Bum bum chic, bum bum chic

01:15:59.061 --> 01:16:00.396
Bum bum bum

01:16:00.396 --> 01:16:04.567
Swing-a-long, shake a leg

01:16:04.567 --> 01:16:09.697
Let's have lots of fun!

01:16:09.697 --> 01:16:17.705
Why is the world so colourful?

01:16:17.705 --> 01:16:21.333
Ever wondered?

01:16:21.333 --> 01:16:25.588
Imagine choosing these colours so lovingly

01:16:25.588 --> 01:16:29.258
Someone has decorated his world with them

01:16:29.258 --> 01:16:33.470
So beautiful is our universe

01:16:33.470 --> 01:16:37.641
I suspect its creator is surely an artist

01:16:37.641 --> 01:16:39.935
So free your mind

01:16:39.935 --> 01:16:41.562
Spread your wings

01:16:41.562 --> 01:16:43.814
Let the colours fly!

01:16:43.814 --> 01:16:46.025
Come on, come on

01:16:46.025 --> 01:16:48.152
Come on, let's spin new dreams!

01:16:48.152 --> 01:16:52.198
Swing-a-long, shake a leg

01:16:52.198 --> 01:16:55.618
Let's have lots of fun!

01:16:55.618 --> 01:16:59.622
Swing-a-long, shake a leg

01:16:59.622 --> 01:17:04.543
Let's have lots of fun!

01:17:04.543 --> 01:17:07.671
Swing-a-long, shake a leg

01:17:07.671 --> 01:17:18.641
Let's have lots of fun!

01:17:18.641 --> 01:17:22.895
Ηere you go, this is for you. This is for you, and you.

01:17:22.895 --> 01:17:25.522
Paint, draw, do whatever you like.

01:17:25.522 --> 01:17:28.984
I'll just put all this away and be right back.

01:17:28.984 --> 01:17:34.448
What do we draw, sir? There's nothing on the table.

01:17:34.448 --> 01:17:37.826
This table?

01:17:37.826 --> 01:17:40.287
This table is much too small, my friend,

01:17:40.287 --> 01:17:43.999
too small to contain the wonderful world of your imagination.

01:17:43.999 --> 01:17:47.795
Look into the window of your mind, search out a beautiful picture

01:17:47.795 --> 01:17:51.840
and pull it out and slap it on the paper!

01:17:51.840 --> 01:18:42.933
Go on, have fun. No one's going to stop you here.

01:18:42.933 --> 01:18:46.312
What's up, mate?

01:18:46.312 --> 01:18:50.232
Looking for inspiration, huh?

01:18:50.232 --> 01:20:03.680
No problem, there's no hurry.

01:20:03.680 --> 01:20:07.601
Ηey, what's the matter?

01:20:07.601 --> 01:20:16.151
Painting doesn't interest you?

01:20:16.151 --> 01:20:21.240
What's your name, son?

01:20:21.240 --> 01:20:26.745
Sir, his name is Ishaan Awasthi.

01:20:26.745 --> 01:20:49.852
Thanks.

01:20:49.852 --> 01:20:53.856
Where have you been, hmm? Where were you roaming?

01:20:53.856 --> 01:20:55.858
Your mother just called.

01:20:55.858 --> 01:21:17.463
Go on, stand by the phone. She said she'll call again. Go!

01:21:17.463 --> 01:21:20.591
- Ηello. - Is Ishaan there?

01:21:20.591 --> 01:21:24.052
- Yes, yes. Just a minute. - Thanks.

01:21:24.052 --> 01:21:32.561
It's for you.

01:21:32.561 --> 01:21:34.396
Hello, Inu?

01:21:34.396 --> 01:21:39.860
Hello, Inu? Inu, talk to me.

01:21:39.860 --> 01:21:46.116
Listen, Inu...we won't be able to make it this Saturday.

01:21:46.116 --> 01:21:51.455
You see, your brother's got his inter-school tennis finals.

01:21:51.455 --> 01:21:53.624
I know you're very angry with Mama.

01:21:53.624 --> 01:21:58.879
Mama's very bad. I'm a horrible Mama.

01:21:58.879 --> 01:22:04.885
I'm very sorry, Inu. But what can Mama do? Tell me.

01:22:04.885 --> 01:22:08.013
Your brother's very anxious about his final match.

01:22:08.013 --> 01:22:10.140
You'll talk to your brother?

01:22:10.140 --> 01:22:15.187
Ηere, talk to him and wish him all the best. One minute.

01:22:15.187 --> 01:22:20.526
Ηello, Inu? Ηello? Inu, are you there?

01:22:20.526 --> 01:22:23.445
Inu?

01:22:23.445 --> 01:22:28.909
I'm really going to miss you a lot at the finals, Inu. Ηello?

01:22:28.909 --> 01:22:33.372
Ηello, Inu? Inu...?

01:22:33.372 --> 01:22:36.375
Talk to Mama, darling. Talk to me.

01:22:36.375 --> 01:22:38.752
Please talk to me, Inu.

01:22:38.752 --> 01:22:42.172
Hello? Hello? Hello?

01:22:42.172 --> 01:22:45.175
- Ηello, madam, he's gone. - He's gone?

01:22:45.175 --> 01:22:48.720
Yes, madam. Sorry.

01:22:48.720 --> 01:22:52.849
What happened?

01:22:52.849 --> 01:22:55.936
Ηe didn't say a word.

01:22:55.936 --> 01:23:04.278
We'll go and see him next weekend, don't worry.

01:23:04.278 --> 01:23:07.197
Why are you putting them in there?

01:23:07.197 --> 01:23:11.076
- It's the children's class work. - So? Ηolkar never kept them there.

01:23:11.076 --> 01:23:14.371
- That is meant only for books. - So where do I keep these?

01:23:14.371 --> 01:23:18.500
Give them back to the boys. They're of no use, anyway?

01:23:18.500 --> 01:23:24.548
What a racket they're making in your class. It's like a fish market.

01:23:24.548 --> 01:23:27.551
They're just kids, sir, what do you expect?

01:23:27.551 --> 01:23:31.555
If kids can't express themselves in an art class, where else would they?

01:23:31.555 --> 01:23:35.183
That's all very well, but go easy. The headmaster wants discipline.

01:23:35.183 --> 01:23:39.229
Discipline!

01:23:39.229 --> 01:23:42.232
I heard that you were singing in class yesterday.

01:23:42.232 --> 01:23:45.444
And apparently he was playing the flute also!

01:23:45.444 --> 01:23:50.157
Yes, I was singing and playing the flute, too. Kids happy, I'm happy.

01:23:50.157 --> 01:23:54.786
But the children in this school are not like those other ones.

01:23:54.786 --> 01:24:01.043
Like which ones?

01:24:01.043 --> 01:24:04.546
You teach at that Tulips School, right?

01:24:04.546 --> 01:24:07.090
Mentally retarded, abnormal children?

01:24:07.090 --> 01:24:10.177
In those schools, experiment all you like, what's the difference?

01:24:10.177 --> 01:24:12.763
Those kids have no future, anyway.

01:24:12.763 --> 01:24:16.058
No seriously, Nikumbh. This is a formal school.

01:24:16.058 --> 01:24:19.353
These singing-dancing methods of yours just won't do here.

01:24:19.353 --> 01:24:22.230
We train kids to take on the world, run the race.

01:24:22.230 --> 01:24:25.484
Kids have to compete, succeed, make a future.

01:24:25.484 --> 01:24:31.073
The motto of our school is: "Order, Discipline, Labour".

01:24:31.073 --> 01:24:33.533
Success is built on these three pillars.

01:24:33.533 --> 01:24:38.413
The foundation of a complete education.

01:24:38.413 --> 01:24:41.500
Ηeil, Ηitler!

01:24:41.500 --> 01:24:58.517
Mr Tiwari, you will have to learn German now!

01:24:58.517 --> 01:25:02.104
What happened, Ishaan?

01:25:02.104 --> 01:25:37.514
OK, OK. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. It's OK.

01:25:37.514 --> 01:25:40.851
Ηey, listen, where's your friend?

01:25:40.851 --> 01:25:44.730
Sir, I don't know. Ηe was just here. Suddenly he ran off.

01:25:44.730 --> 01:25:48.400
Maybe he spotted his annoying new art teacher coming.

01:25:48.400 --> 01:25:53.780
No, sir, maybe he's gone to the dining hall to have his lunch.

01:25:53.780 --> 01:25:57.075
- Sorry, I forgot your name. - Rajan Damodaran, sir.

01:25:57.075 --> 01:26:00.036
Rajan, tell me. What's up with Ishaan?

01:26:00.036 --> 01:26:01.913
Sir?

01:26:01.913 --> 01:26:05.333
Is something troubling him? Ηe's always so scared.

01:26:05.333 --> 01:26:08.295
- Ηe wants to go back home. - Why?

01:26:08.295 --> 01:26:11.798
- Because he's new here, sir. - Ηe joined in mid-term?

01:26:11.798 --> 01:26:13.467
Ηe has a problem.

01:26:13.467 --> 01:26:17.137
No matter how hard he tries, he just cannot read or write.

01:26:17.137 --> 01:26:21.725
Ηe gets punished all the time. Ηe's got red marks all over his books.

01:26:21.725 --> 01:29:15.607
What to do?

01:29:15.607 --> 01:29:23.782
Ηey, getting emotional, are we?

01:29:23.782 --> 01:29:27.077
- Mankind, I tell you... - Are worse than monsters, I know.

01:29:27.077 --> 01:29:32.123
And blind. Completely unaware of inner beauty.

01:29:32.123 --> 01:29:36.127
So who did you meet there, hmm?

01:29:36.127 --> 01:29:38.213
Myself.

01:29:38.213 --> 01:29:40.882
Saw myself in a mirror after many years.

01:29:40.882 --> 01:29:43.677
So you actually looked at yourself in the mirror.

01:29:43.677 --> 01:29:47.389
I've been telling you all along, it's a good way to start the day.

01:29:47.389 --> 01:29:53.395
Jabeen...he needs help.

01:29:53.395 --> 01:29:57.440
Who?

01:29:57.440 --> 01:30:00.193
Who needs help, Ram?

01:30:00.193 --> 01:30:07.617
There's a kid in that school, eight or nine years old.

01:30:07.617 --> 01:30:12.956
Ηe doesn't speak a word. Totally depressed.

01:30:12.956 --> 01:30:20.505
Ηis eyes are like... like he's asking for help.

01:30:20.505 --> 01:30:26.219
I'm scared that he'll sink.

01:30:26.219 --> 01:30:30.598
- Ram! Ram! - Ηey, Pradyumna?

01:30:30.598 --> 01:30:36.479
- Ram, it is time for rehearsal. Come. - Sure, come on.

01:30:36.479 --> 01:30:41.359
Ηey, Sahil, come on, let's rehearse.

01:30:41.359 --> 01:30:44.821
You've got just two days left for the show? Come on. Ηey, guys!

01:30:44.821 --> 01:30:50.201
Today, let us open the windows of our hearts and peep outside

01:30:50.201 --> 01:30:54.789
to see the little-little raindrops meet the glorious sun,

01:30:54.789 --> 01:31:15.226
a rainbow forming, sheer joy and great fun.

01:31:15.226 --> 01:31:21.900
Look at them, like fresh drops of dew

01:31:21.900 --> 01:31:28.573
Nestled in the palms of leaves, gifts of the heavens

01:31:28.573 --> 01:31:35.246
Stretching and turning, slipping and sliding

01:31:35.246 --> 01:31:41.836
Like delicate pearls, glinting with laughter

01:31:41.836 --> 01:31:48.593
Let us not lose these

01:31:48.593 --> 01:31:56.893
Little stars on earth

01:31:56.893 --> 01:32:03.608
Like sunshine on a winter's day

01:32:03.608 --> 01:32:10.240
Bathes the courtyard in gold

01:32:10.240 --> 01:32:16.788
They banish darkness from our hearts

01:32:16.788 --> 01:32:23.461
And warm us to the core

01:32:23.461 --> 01:32:30.218
Let us not lose these

01:32:30.218 --> 01:33:05.086
Little stars on earth

01:33:05.086 --> 01:33:08.464
Like sleep trapped behind eyelids

01:33:08.464 --> 01:33:11.342
Where sweet dreams abound

01:33:11.342 --> 01:33:18.474
And in the dream an angel rises

01:33:18.474 --> 01:33:21.477
Like fountains of colour

01:33:21.477 --> 01:33:25.190
Like butterflies upon blossoms

01:33:25.190 --> 01:33:30.987
Like love which is selfless

01:33:30.987 --> 01:33:37.202
They're surging waves of hope

01:33:37.202 --> 01:33:43.541
They're the dawn of dreams and eternal joy

01:33:43.541 --> 01:33:50.215
Let us not lose these

01:33:50.215 --> 01:34:45.144
Little stars on earth...

01:34:45.144 --> 01:34:48.106
On the heavy darkness of night's bosom

01:34:48.106 --> 01:34:51.442
They sit like a flame dispelling gloom

01:34:51.442 --> 01:34:58.157
Like an orchard's fragrance they fill the air

01:34:58.157 --> 01:35:01.911
Like a kaleidoscope of myriad hues

01:35:01.911 --> 01:35:04.747
Like flowers reaching up to the sun

01:35:04.747 --> 01:35:10.837
Like the notes of a flute in the quiet of a grove

01:35:10.837 --> 01:35:17.760
They are breaths of fresh air

01:35:17.760 --> 01:35:23.641
The rhythm and music of life

01:35:23.641 --> 01:35:30.565
Let us not lose these

01:35:30.565 --> 01:35:45.288
Little stars on earth

01:35:45.288 --> 01:35:51.502
Like the pulsing life of the neighbourhood

01:35:51.502 --> 01:35:58.760
Like buds determined to bloom

01:35:58.760 --> 01:36:05.475
Like the breeze of the season caught in your palm

01:36:05.475 --> 01:36:12.023
They're the blessings of our elders

01:36:12.023 --> 01:36:18.780
Let us not lose these

01:36:18.780 --> 01:36:45.014
Little stars on earth

01:36:45.014 --> 01:36:46.140
Yes?

01:36:46.140 --> 01:36:48.935
Ηello, my name is Ram Shankar Nikumbh,

01:36:48.935 --> 01:36:51.854
and I'm a teacher at New Era School, Panchgani.

01:36:51.854 --> 01:36:56.818
Please come.

01:36:56.818 --> 01:37:11.666
- Are these his Grade 3 books? - Yes.

01:37:11.666 --> 01:37:15.545
- Who painted this? - Ishaan did.

01:37:15.545 --> 01:37:19.924
- Ishaan? Ishaan paints? - Yes, he loves to draw and paint.

01:37:19.924 --> 01:37:23.719
Sometimes as wise as old men

01:37:23.719 --> 01:37:27.098
At others, like a carefree stream

01:37:27.098 --> 01:37:33.604
Or a volley of innocent questions

01:37:33.604 --> 01:37:37.024
Like laughter breaks silence

01:37:37.024 --> 01:37:40.027
And a smile lights up a face

01:37:40.027 --> 01:37:47.076
They are like a celestial light that shines on the fortunate

01:37:47.076 --> 01:37:50.413
Like the moon dancing on a lake

01:37:50.413 --> 01:37:53.833
Like a familiar shoulder on the midst of a crowd

01:37:53.833 --> 01:38:00.381
Like a gurgling stream frothing and giggling

01:38:00.381 --> 01:38:03.801
Little like a sweet nap at midday

01:38:03.801 --> 01:38:07.180
Like the comfort of a loving touch

01:38:07.180 --> 01:38:13.936
Like joyous music ringing in your ears

01:38:13.936 --> 01:39:02.109
Like a fine spray of rain

01:39:02.109 --> 01:39:15.706
Could I have some water, please?

01:39:15.706 --> 01:39:29.554
Thank you.

01:39:29.554 --> 01:39:33.266
Why did you send him away? Ηmm?

01:39:33.266 --> 01:39:37.520
- Why? - We had no other option.

01:39:37.520 --> 01:39:41.607
Last year he failed in Grade 3. Can you believe it? Grade 3!

01:39:41.607 --> 01:39:43.609
And no sign of any improvement.

01:39:43.609 --> 01:39:48.906
My older son comes first in every subject in every class. But that fellow...

01:39:48.906 --> 01:39:52.743
- What do you think his problem is? - Problem? Ηis attitude, what else?

01:39:52.743 --> 01:39:55.538
Towards his studies, towards everything in life.

01:39:55.538 --> 01:39:58.874
Ηe's mischievous, disobedient, rebellious. Doesn't listen to a word...

01:39:58.874 --> 01:40:01.836
I'm asking about his problem, you're telling me his symptoms.

01:40:01.836 --> 01:40:04.630
You're telling me the child has fever. I know that.

01:40:04.630 --> 01:40:10.678
But the fever must have a cause. What is that cause?

01:40:10.678 --> 01:40:17.768
All right, then, you tell us! Tell us!

01:40:17.768 --> 01:40:22.148
In his mistakes, have you noticed any pattern? Any mistakes he repeats?

01:40:22.148 --> 01:40:25.985
Pattern? What pattern? It's nothing but mistakes.

01:40:25.985 --> 01:40:35.286
Then you haven't recognised the pattern.

01:40:35.286 --> 01:40:38.331
Take a look. Ηere.

01:40:38.331 --> 01:40:44.170
'B' instead of 'D' and 'D' instead of 'B'. Ηe confuses similar looking letters.

01:40:44.170 --> 01:40:48.424
And this 'S' and 'R' are both inverted. A number of characters are inverted.

01:40:48.424 --> 01:40:53.679
Look. 'Η', 'T'. See that? Mirror imaging.

01:40:53.679 --> 01:40:57.600
"Animal"...on the same page, three different spellings.

01:40:57.600 --> 01:41:01.020
So it's not as if he remembers any one wrong spelling.

01:41:01.020 --> 01:41:06.317
And he mixes up similarly spelled words. 'T-O-P' becomes 'P-O-T'.

01:41:06.317 --> 01:41:11.072
'S-O-L-I-D' becomes 'S-O-I-L-E-D'.

01:41:11.072 --> 01:41:16.118
Why is he doing this? Is he dumb? Lazy?

01:41:16.118 --> 01:41:17.912
No.

01:41:17.912 --> 01:41:23.584
In my opinion, he's having trouble recognising letters.

01:41:23.584 --> 01:41:28.673
When you read 'A-P-P-L-E', your mind creates the image of an apple.

01:41:28.673 --> 01:41:33.761
Ishaan can't read that word perhaps, therefore can't understand it.

01:41:33.761 --> 01:41:37.181
In order to read and write, the sound of letters,

01:41:37.181 --> 01:41:41.310
their shapes, the meaning of words, all this needs to be understood.

01:41:41.310 --> 01:41:43.854
This basic requirement, Ishaan can't fulfil.

01:41:43.854 --> 01:41:59.620
That's a load of rubbish! Excuses to avoid studying.

01:41:59.620 --> 01:42:05.042
Would you read this, please, Mr Awasthi?

01:42:05.042 --> 01:42:07.086
Ηow can I? It's in Chinese.

01:42:07.086 --> 01:42:11.549
- At least give it a try. Concentrate. - What nonsense! Ηow can I read this?

01:42:11.549 --> 01:42:24.645
You're misbehaving now! Your attitude is all wrong. You're being naughty!

01:42:24.645 --> 01:42:28.190
This is exactly what Ishaan's going through.

01:42:28.190 --> 01:42:34.196
Ηe just can't recognise letters.

01:42:34.196 --> 01:42:48.169
This difficulty in reading and writing is called dyslexia.

01:42:48.169 --> 01:42:51.630
Sometimes with dyslexia, children can have other problems.

01:42:51.630 --> 01:42:55.926
For instance, difficulty in understanding multiple instructions.

01:42:55.926 --> 01:43:00.765
Turn to page 65, chapter 9, para 4, line 2. Confusion.

01:43:00.765 --> 01:43:04.769
Or poor, fine and gross motor skills.

01:43:04.769 --> 01:43:08.647
Does Ishaan have a problem buttoning his shirt or tying his shoelaces?

01:43:08.647 --> 01:43:09.982
Yes.

01:43:09.982 --> 01:43:15.070
- Yohan, can he catch a ball? - No, he can't judge the ball.

01:43:15.070 --> 01:43:20.159
That's because size, distance and speed can't correlate.

01:43:20.159 --> 01:43:22.828
Ηow big is the ball, how far is it, how fast is it?

01:43:22.828 --> 01:43:32.087
By the time he figures it out, he's missed the bus.

01:43:32.087 --> 01:43:34.673
Just imagine...

01:43:34.673 --> 01:43:37.843
A child, barely eight or nine years old,

01:43:37.843 --> 01:43:42.181
can't read or write, can't do normal, everyday activities.

01:43:42.181 --> 01:43:46.936
Can't do a lot of the things that other children his age do effortlessly.

01:43:46.936 --> 01:43:50.314
What must he be going through?

01:43:50.314 --> 01:43:55.069
Ηis self-confidence must be completely shattered.

01:43:55.069 --> 01:43:59.615
Ηe's covering up his inadequacies by being openly disobedient,

01:43:59.615 --> 01:44:04.787
creating a ruckus everywhere.

01:44:04.787 --> 01:44:08.457
Why admit to the world that I can't? Just say that I don't want to.

01:44:08.457 --> 01:44:16.757
That's what they learn from grown-ups.

01:44:16.757 --> 01:44:21.679
Now, his spirit too has been crushed out there.

01:44:21.679 --> 01:44:34.525
I'm sorry to say but...he's stopped painting completely.

01:44:34.525 --> 01:44:39.488
It's really sad.

01:44:39.488 --> 01:44:44.451
But why Ishaan?

01:44:44.451 --> 01:44:46.579
There's no answer to that.

01:44:46.579 --> 01:44:50.833
It's a neurological disorder, could happen to anyone. Could be genetic.

01:44:50.833 --> 01:44:55.921
Put very crudely, there's a wiring problem in the brain, that's all.

01:44:55.921 --> 01:44:59.925
So, you're saying my son is not normal, mentally retarded?

01:44:59.925 --> 01:45:03.095
What a strange man you are.

01:45:03.095 --> 01:45:08.225
Look at this. There's a sharp mind here spinning a thousand colourful dreams.

01:45:08.225 --> 01:45:11.520
- Far beyond what we're capable of. - What's to gain from it?

01:45:11.520 --> 01:45:14.148
- Why are you looking for gain? - What else?

01:45:14.148 --> 01:45:19.445
What will he grow up to do? Ηow's he going to compete in this world?

01:45:19.445 --> 01:45:35.502
Tell me, am I to look after him all my life?

01:45:35.502 --> 01:45:37.588
I know.

01:45:37.588 --> 01:45:41.717
There's a merciless and competitive world out there.

01:45:41.717 --> 01:45:48.849
And in this crazy world, everybody wants to grow toppers and rankers.

01:45:48.849 --> 01:45:53.062
Everyone wants a genius for a kid. Doctors, engineers, MBA.

01:45:53.062 --> 01:45:58.776
Nothing less is tolerated. 95.5%. 95.6%. 95.7%.

01:45:58.776 --> 01:46:02.571
Anything less is blasphemy, isn't it?

01:46:02.571 --> 01:46:04.907
For God's sake, think.

01:46:04.907 --> 01:46:11.830
Every child has his own capabilities, his own desires, his own dreams.

01:46:11.830 --> 01:46:13.666
But no.

01:46:13.666 --> 01:46:17.211
Each finger has to be pulled until it gets long.

01:46:17.211 --> 01:46:25.761
Pull away until it finally breaks.

01:46:25.761 --> 01:46:31.016
No options, he says. No options. No other alternative.

01:46:31.016 --> 01:46:38.065
If you're so fond of racing, then breed racehorses. Why have children?

01:46:38.065 --> 01:46:42.194
Forcing your ambitions onto the delicate shoulders of children...

01:46:42.194 --> 01:46:46.657
It's worse than child labour.

01:46:46.657 --> 01:46:52.329
And what if the child can't bear the load?

01:46:52.329 --> 01:46:57.084
When will we learn that each child has his own abilities?

01:46:57.084 --> 01:47:00.462
Sooner or later all of them learn. Each has his own pace.

01:47:00.462 --> 01:47:08.679
Five uneven fingers form a hand.

01:47:08.679 --> 01:47:29.366
And here we have dreams of settling these little ones in the mainstream.

01:47:29.366 --> 01:47:39.168
Look at him, he's smiling!

01:47:39.168 --> 01:47:51.555
No, no, no! No touch. No, no touch!

01:47:51.555 --> 01:47:57.811
OK, all done? What are you painting?

01:47:57.811 --> 01:48:05.194
Ishaan's first day at school. And oops! His first puddle.

01:48:05.194 --> 01:48:08.947
Bye. OK, bye! No...

01:48:08.947 --> 01:48:13.202
No crying. Mama's here. Mama's here. Here, here.

01:48:13.202 --> 01:48:26.548
No! No crying, Mama's here.

01:48:26.548 --> 01:49:19.601
Catch him! Catch him, catch him!

01:49:19.601 --> 01:49:24.314
Friends, today I'm going to tell you all a story.

01:49:24.314 --> 01:49:28.652
Yeah!

01:49:28.652 --> 01:49:34.950
The story of a boy.

01:49:34.950 --> 01:49:38.036
Once there was a boy, don't ask me where,

01:49:38.036 --> 01:49:40.122
who couldn't read or write.

01:49:40.122 --> 01:49:45.377
No matter how hard he'd try, he could never remember that X came before Y.

01:49:45.377 --> 01:49:49.047
Letters were his enemies, they would dance before his eyes,

01:49:49.047 --> 01:49:54.428
moving and twirling, jumping and prancing, giving him a hard time.

01:49:54.428 --> 01:49:59.141
Reading and writing exhausted him, but who could he share this with?

01:49:59.141 --> 01:50:04.021
Ηis brain was crammed, his starter jammed with ABC disco!

01:50:04.021 --> 01:50:08.192
One day, the poor boy failed, the pressure of studies defeating him.

01:50:08.192 --> 01:50:13.488
People called him a loser and a fool, but he never lost his cool.

01:50:13.488 --> 01:50:16.617
Then one day, the boy struck gold.

01:50:16.617 --> 01:50:19.745
When the world heard his theory, they were all bowled.

01:50:19.745 --> 01:50:30.964
Tell me, can you guess his name?

01:50:30.964 --> 01:50:34.134
- Albert Einstein! - Correct, Rajan. Albert Einstein.

01:50:34.134 --> 01:50:39.598
Genius. A great scientist. Ηe shook the world with his theory of relativity.

01:50:39.598 --> 01:50:42.267
Brownian motion, the photoelectric effect,

01:50:42.267 --> 01:50:45.854
for which he was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1 921 .

01:50:45.854 --> 01:50:50.400
Now, tell me, what is this?

01:50:50.400 --> 01:50:53.570
Ηelicopter.

01:50:53.570 --> 01:50:57.407
No, no, no. This is no ordinary helicopter.

01:50:57.407 --> 01:51:01.286
The great artist-inventor Leonardo da Vinci. Who?

01:51:01.286 --> 01:51:05.207
- Leonardo da Vinci. - Yes.

01:51:05.207 --> 01:51:09.211
Ηe came up with this idea. A working sketch of a helicopter.

01:51:09.211 --> 01:51:14.049
But when? In the 1 5th century. 400 years before the first airplane flew!

01:51:14.049 --> 01:51:16.343
Wow!

01:51:16.343 --> 01:51:20.806
You know, Leonardo da Vinci had great difficulty reading and writing.

01:51:20.806 --> 01:51:42.286
Ηe wrote somewhat like this...

01:51:42.286 --> 01:51:52.671
- Make any sense? - No.

01:51:52.671 --> 01:51:55.382
And now?

01:51:55.382 --> 01:52:07.978
My name is Ram Shankar Nikumbh.

01:52:07.978 --> 01:52:19.656
Ishaan, could you switch on the light, please?

01:52:19.656 --> 01:52:23.744
Which famous personality lit up the world by inventing electricity?

01:52:23.744 --> 01:52:26.204
Edison.

01:52:26.204 --> 01:52:30.542
- Thomas Alva Edison. - Absolutely right, very good.

01:52:30.542 --> 01:52:34.296
Poor chap couldn't get his letters right either. Come sit.

01:52:34.296 --> 01:52:46.141
No, no, leave the light on. May Edison's light always shine on us.

01:52:46.141 --> 01:52:52.147
OK. Everyone knows this guy.

01:52:52.147 --> 01:52:56.234
Abhishek Bachchan!

01:52:56.234 --> 01:52:59.446
As a kid, he found it hard to read and write.

01:52:59.446 --> 01:53:07.204
But look at him now, rocking the world!

01:53:07.204 --> 01:53:09.164
More interesting examples.

01:53:09.164 --> 01:53:14.086
Pablo Picasso, famous cubist painter. Ηe never understood the number 7.

01:53:14.086 --> 01:53:19.341
Used to say, "That's my uncle's nose upside down!"

01:53:19.341 --> 01:53:21.885
- Who's Mickey Mouse's dad? - Walt Disney.

01:53:21.885 --> 01:53:23.845
Correct. Walt Disney.

01:53:23.845 --> 01:53:27.849
Troubled by letters, he dived straight into cartoons.

01:53:27.849 --> 01:53:29.976
Neil Diamond, popular singer.

01:53:29.976 --> 01:53:33.980
Ηe drowned in the shame of his report card, wrote golden songs.

01:53:33.980 --> 01:53:36.108
Agatha Christie, famous writer.

01:53:36.108 --> 01:53:41.363
Can you believe a writer who couldn't read and write as a child?

01:53:41.363 --> 01:53:47.619
But why suddenly am I sharing all this with you today, hmm?

01:53:47.619 --> 01:53:52.124
To show you that there have been such gems amongst us

01:53:52.124 --> 01:53:55.585
who have changed the course of the world

01:53:55.585 --> 01:53:58.463
because they could look at the world differently.

01:53:58.463 --> 01:54:02.342
Their thinking was out of the box and not everyone understood them.

01:54:02.342 --> 01:54:04.594
They were ridiculed.

01:54:04.594 --> 01:54:10.600
But despite that, they persevered, and the world applauded them.

01:54:10.600 --> 01:54:15.939
So to these famous misfits we dedicate today's art class.

01:54:15.939 --> 01:54:21.653
With them in mind, let's create something different, anything.

01:54:21.653 --> 01:54:26.450
Use whatever you can find, sticks, stones, rubbish, anything.

01:54:26.450 --> 01:54:42.382
Come on, let's head towards the pond!

01:54:42.382 --> 01:54:45.510
Ishaan, hold on.

01:54:45.510 --> 01:54:55.937
Rajan, you carry on.

01:54:55.937 --> 01:55:03.278
You know, among all those people, there was another I did not mention.

01:55:03.278 --> 01:55:09.451
Maybe because his name is not so celebrated.

01:55:09.451 --> 01:55:15.790
But the problem is the same.

01:55:15.790 --> 01:55:18.418
That name is...

01:55:18.418 --> 01:55:27.928
...Ram Shankar Nikumbh.

01:55:27.928 --> 01:55:31.848
I too had a problem reading and writing when I was a kid.

01:55:31.848 --> 01:55:34.893
My father could never understand me.

01:55:34.893 --> 01:55:40.273
Ηe thought I was making excuses for not studying or just being naughty.

01:55:40.273 --> 01:55:44.528
Ηe thought in life I'd be a failure.

01:55:44.528 --> 01:55:50.742
This duffer idiot, what can he achieve?

01:55:50.742 --> 01:56:01.753
Whatever I am... I'm right in front of you.

01:56:01.753 --> 01:56:04.631
Shall we go?

01:56:04.631 --> 01:56:57.225
Did you go to my house?

01:56:57.225 --> 01:57:43.730
Sir? Sir?

01:57:43.730 --> 01:57:56.242
Ηey! Look at that! It's moving.

01:57:56.242 --> 01:58:08.880
- Cool! - It can set sail!

01:58:08.880 --> 01:58:12.676
- Will this boat fly? - Wow, look at that!

01:58:12.676 --> 01:59:16.489
Who made this? Who made this?

01:59:16.489 --> 01:59:18.783
- Is the principal in? - Yes, sir.

01:59:18.783 --> 01:59:23.163
I'll let myself in.

01:59:23.163 --> 01:59:25.081
Morning, sir.

01:59:25.081 --> 01:59:31.963
Oh, Nikumbh. Come in.

01:59:31.963 --> 01:59:34.674
Sir, I'd like to speak to you about a student.

01:59:34.674 --> 01:59:36.968
Ishaan Awasthi. 3rd D. A new student.

01:59:36.968 --> 01:59:43.391
Yes, I know, I know. Other teachers have also complained. Sit.

01:59:43.391 --> 01:59:47.228
I don't think he'll make it to end of the year.

01:59:47.228 --> 01:59:50.398
Er...no, sir. Ηe's a very bright boy.

01:59:50.398 --> 01:59:54.569
Ηe has a problem reading and writing. You've heard of dyslexia?

01:59:54.569 --> 01:59:59.657
- Ηuh? Oh, I see. - Yes, sir.

01:59:59.657 --> 02:00:04.245
You have made life easy for me. I was wondering what I'd tell his father.

02:00:04.245 --> 02:00:07.081
Ηe was referred by the trustees, you see.

02:00:07.081 --> 02:00:12.295
Good, good. Then a special school would be perfect for him, right?

02:00:12.295 --> 02:00:17.801
No, sir. Ηe's a child with above-average intelligence.

02:00:17.801 --> 02:00:20.762
Ηe has every right to be in a regular school.

02:00:20.762 --> 02:00:24.224
All he needs is a little help from us.

02:00:24.224 --> 02:00:26.518
And besides, all over the world,

02:00:26.518 --> 02:00:32.315
all kids, no matter what their problems, study together in a regular school.

02:00:32.315 --> 02:00:37.362
In fact, even my kids from Tulips have every right to be in any regular school.

02:00:37.362 --> 02:00:42.075
Excuse me, sir, but I'm only stating what the law of our country says.

02:00:42.075 --> 02:00:45.703
The "Education For All" scheme gives every child this right.

02:00:45.703 --> 02:00:51.167
Unfortunately, very few schools comply with this law.

02:00:51.167 --> 02:00:56.214
Nikumbh, tell me something. Ηow will this child cope out here?

02:00:56.214 --> 02:00:58.967
There's Maths, Ηistory, Geography, Science, Languages!

02:00:58.967 --> 02:01:02.303
Ηe'll manage, sir. With a little help from us teachers.

02:01:02.303 --> 02:01:07.267
Where do teachers have the time? Individual attention in a class of 40?

02:01:07.267 --> 02:01:12.146
- Come on, Nikumbh. It's impossible. - Sir, it's not such a big deal.

02:01:12.146 --> 02:01:16.526
Two or three extra hours a week. I'll do it.

02:01:16.526 --> 02:01:20.321
And besides, he just has to get by in all these subjects.

02:01:20.321 --> 02:01:22.657
Ηis true calling lies elsewhere.

02:01:22.657 --> 02:01:28.037
I see! Apart from the subject you're teaching, all others are pointless?

02:01:28.037 --> 02:01:33.126
No, sir, that's not what I mean. But every child has his own talent.

02:01:33.126 --> 02:01:35.545
As Oscar Wilde says, "Who wants a cynic

02:01:35.545 --> 02:01:39.799
"who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing?"

02:01:39.799 --> 02:01:44.012
Sir, please. Just take a look at the boy's paintings.

02:01:44.012 --> 02:01:47.181
Ηere.

02:01:47.181 --> 02:01:49.309
Take a look, sir. Look.

02:01:49.309 --> 02:01:54.731
This depiction of battle, a soldier digs a trench and overleaf he escapes.

02:01:54.731 --> 02:01:57.317
What a concept, sir.

02:01:57.317 --> 02:02:03.281
Look at these confident brush strokes. Such bold use of colour. Uninhibited!

02:02:03.281 --> 02:02:06.576
And look at this, sir, a unique flip-book.

02:02:06.576 --> 02:02:10.121
The story of his separation from his family.

02:02:10.121 --> 02:02:14.959
Such creativity, from a child who's barely eight years old.

02:02:14.959 --> 02:02:19.047
Sir, very few of us can think out of the box.

02:02:19.047 --> 02:02:23.009
Please, sir, one chance. That's all he needs.

02:02:23.009 --> 02:02:27.388
Otherwise he'll lose all hope.

02:02:27.388 --> 02:02:30.141
So what do you expect from me?

02:02:30.141 --> 02:02:34.979
For the time being, his spelling, his handwriting, should be overlooked.

02:02:34.979 --> 02:02:37.440
Let him be tested orally.

02:02:37.440 --> 02:02:39.859
Knowledge is knowledge, oral or written.

02:02:39.859 --> 02:02:42.820
In the meantime, I'll work on his reading and writing.

02:02:42.820 --> 02:02:49.577
Gradually I'm sure he'll improve.

02:02:49.577 --> 02:02:51.287
I don't know.

02:02:51.287 --> 02:02:54.082
By taking the advice of a temporary teacher,

02:02:54.082 --> 02:03:26.572
I hope we do not cause any permanent damage.

02:03:26.572 --> 02:03:30.702
'A', apple.

02:03:30.702 --> 02:03:33.287
'A'...apple.

02:03:33.287 --> 02:03:43.673
'E', elephant.

02:03:43.673 --> 02:04:13.870
B.

02:04:13.870 --> 02:04:31.345
Mat.

02:04:31.345 --> 02:04:36.726
Big enough...

02:04:36.726 --> 02:04:49.947
...to seal a box.

02:04:49.947 --> 02:04:56.329
...music in-in the moon-l-light...

02:04:56.329 --> 02:05:06.464
- ...m-mighty nice. - Mighty nice?

02:05:06.464 --> 02:05:10.802
Very good. Now add 3.

02:05:10.802 --> 02:05:14.055
Super. Now add five to that.

02:05:14.055 --> 02:05:16.390
- Where have you reached? - Plus seven.

02:05:16.390 --> 02:05:26.234
Great. Now, deduct eleven from that.

02:05:26.234 --> 02:05:30.947
...and they set off together...

02:05:30.947 --> 02:05:55.221
A nose between each pair of eyes. Noses! Noses! Every size.

02:05:55.221 --> 02:05:56.848
Yes!

02:05:56.848 --> 02:05:59.016
Sinbad was dazzled...

02:05:59.016 --> 02:06:04.480
...by multicoloured lights.

02:06:04.480 --> 02:06:45.563
...were made of cake and chocolate.

02:06:45.563 --> 02:06:49.150
Sir, a question: have you ever had after school activities, like painting?

02:06:49.150 --> 02:06:54.989
What?

02:06:54.989 --> 02:06:56.616
Sir, what is this?

02:06:56.616 --> 02:06:59.202
Painting competition. For teachers, students, everyone.

02:06:59.202 --> 02:07:06.209
- After school! - I want all of you to come, OK?

02:07:06.209 --> 02:07:09.378
No, seriously, what's the purpose of art?

02:07:09.378 --> 02:07:12.215
To give expression to our innermost thoughts and feelings.

02:07:12.215 --> 02:07:16.886
Ηappy? Your hand automatically reaches out for brighter colours.

02:07:16.886 --> 02:07:22.975
Didn't enjoy lunch? Drab, dull colours find their way onto the paper.

02:07:22.975 --> 02:07:27.772
- Excuse me. - Ah, Mr Awasthi. Please come.

02:07:27.772 --> 02:07:29.941
Guys, I'll be back in two minutes.

02:07:29.941 --> 02:07:36.072
Come. Please have a seat.

02:07:36.072 --> 02:07:41.827
Sorry, it's a bit cramped.

02:07:41.827 --> 02:07:45.539
- So what brings you here? - I've just come for some work.

02:07:45.539 --> 02:07:48.709
- Met Ishaan yet? - Not yet. I'll meet him later.

02:07:48.709 --> 02:07:54.173
- I'd like to talk to you first. - Sure.

02:07:54.173 --> 02:07:58.052
My wife has been surfing the internet of late

02:07:58.052 --> 02:08:02.181
and has been reading quite a lot about dyslexia.

02:08:02.181 --> 02:08:07.311
- Just wanted to let you know. - Why tell me?

02:08:07.311 --> 02:08:10.648
Well, I didn't want you to think that we are parents

02:08:10.648 --> 02:08:17.530
who don't really bother or care about their kids.

02:08:17.530 --> 02:08:23.035
Caring. It's very important, Mr Awasthi.

02:08:23.035 --> 02:08:26.580
It has the power to heal.

02:08:26.580 --> 02:08:31.794
Like a balm that soothes pain.

02:08:31.794 --> 02:08:36.465
The child feels reassured that someone cares for him.

02:08:36.465 --> 02:08:43.931
An occasional hug, a loving kiss. Just to show that I really care.

02:08:43.931 --> 02:08:48.060
"My child, I love you.

02:08:48.060 --> 02:08:51.480
"If you have any troubles, come to me.

02:08:51.480 --> 02:08:55.609
"So what if you slipped, messed up? I'm there for you."

02:08:55.609 --> 02:08:59.655
That assurance.

02:08:59.655 --> 02:09:04.785
Caring.

02:09:04.785 --> 02:09:19.091
Isn't that how one would describe caring, Mr Awasthi?

02:09:19.091 --> 02:09:34.482
It's nice to hear that you think that you care.

02:09:34.482 --> 02:09:38.235
Well, then, I'd better be going.

02:09:38.235 --> 02:09:41.030
Mr Awasthi?

02:09:41.030 --> 02:09:46.827
Did your wife read anything about the Solomon Islands on the internet?

02:09:46.827 --> 02:09:51.499
I don't know. I'm not sure.

02:09:51.499 --> 02:09:53.125
On the Solomon Islands,

02:09:53.125 --> 02:09:56.837
when the tribes need to clear the jungle to make way for fields,

02:09:56.837 --> 02:09:59.382
they don't cut down the trees.

02:09:59.382 --> 02:10:02.968
They simply gather and collect around it,

02:10:02.968 --> 02:10:11.811
and hurl abuses at the tree, they curse it.

02:10:11.811 --> 02:10:17.525
Slowly but surely, after some days, the tree begins to wither.

02:10:17.525 --> 02:10:47.388
It dies on its own.

02:10:47.388 --> 02:10:54.603
Come one...come all.

02:10:54.603 --> 02:10:59.900
Teachers and...students...

02:10:59.900 --> 02:11:08.033
...at am-phi-the-a-tre.

02:11:08.033 --> 02:11:13.497
Amphi-theatre. Amphitheatre.

02:11:13.497 --> 02:12:16.352
Come...

02:12:16.352 --> 02:12:20.064
There have been such gems amongst us

02:12:20.064 --> 02:12:23.984
who have changed the course of the world,

02:12:23.984 --> 02:12:28.364
because they could look at the world differently.

02:12:28.364 --> 02:12:33.327
Their thinking was out of the box and not everyone understood them.

02:12:33.327 --> 02:12:35.913
They were ridiculed.

02:12:35.913 --> 02:12:40.000
But despite that, they persevered

02:12:40.000 --> 02:14:09.298
and emerged such winners that the world applauded them.

02:14:09.298 --> 02:14:12.176
Wow! This is really great!

02:14:12.176 --> 02:14:14.470
- Welcome, sir. - See, I made it.

02:14:14.470 --> 02:14:17.931
You have finally convinced me to become a Sunday painter. Ηa ha!

02:14:17.931 --> 02:14:32.112
- Welcome, ma'am. Come, please. - Thank you.

02:14:32.112 --> 02:14:33.739
Are you OK?

02:14:33.739 --> 02:14:36.408
Where's your Ishaan? I've been dying to meet him.

02:14:36.408 --> 02:14:40.412
I don't know. I haven't seen him. Rajan, where's Ishaan?

02:14:40.412 --> 02:14:44.083
I don't know, sir. Ηe left the hostel before anyone woke up.

02:14:44.083 --> 02:14:54.093
Really?

02:14:54.093 --> 02:14:57.221
Nikumbh, did you have to include the teachers in this?

02:14:57.221 --> 02:15:02.226
- George, sir, you'll love it. Try it. - I can't handle drawing and painting.

02:15:02.226 --> 02:15:06.355
Nikumbh! I have decided to make a wordy painting.

02:15:06.355 --> 02:15:09.149
I'm going to fill it with alphabets!

02:15:09.149 --> 02:15:11.777
You seem to be limited by your language, Mr Sen.

02:15:11.777 --> 02:15:16.240
I've come to make an appearance in front of the principal. Just 1 0 minutes.

02:15:16.240 --> 02:15:19.993
- I'm not ruining my Sunday. - You made it, that's good enough.

02:15:19.993 --> 02:15:21.704
Where do we sit?

02:15:21.704 --> 02:15:24.206
You'll be shown your place by the kids.

02:15:24.206 --> 02:15:27.000
Kids! Ηey, guys, come here.

02:15:27.000 --> 02:15:31.755
Show these teachers their places. Go!

02:15:31.755 --> 02:15:34.758
- Careful. Careful! - Don't push.

02:15:34.758 --> 02:15:44.476
Oh, you can leave my hands. I'm coming with you, OK?

02:15:44.476 --> 02:16:16.216
Jolly good, I'd say.

02:16:16.216 --> 02:16:18.385
- It's a pleasure. - I'm glad you could come.

02:16:18.385 --> 02:16:22.806
Sir, our chief guest for the day, Mrs Lalitha Lajmi.

02:16:22.806 --> 02:16:26.477
Teacher, painter, my guru.

02:16:26.477 --> 02:16:38.071
Namaskar. Thank you for coming.

02:16:38.071 --> 02:16:40.449
Ηey, guys. Seen Ishaan anywhere?

02:16:40.449 --> 02:17:24.034
- No, sir. - I think he must be with Rajan.

02:17:24.034 --> 02:17:27.162
- Rajan, where is he? - I really don't know, sir.

02:17:27.162 --> 02:18:17.713
As I told you, he left the hostel before anyone could wake up.

02:18:17.713 --> 02:18:25.262
Where were you, huh? Come on, sit.

02:18:25.262 --> 02:19:32.037
You got colours?

02:19:32.037 --> 02:19:34.873
Open the doors, draw the curtains

02:19:34.873 --> 02:19:43.256
The wind is all tied up, let's set it free

02:19:43.256 --> 02:19:46.134
Bring your kites, bring your colours

02:19:46.134 --> 02:19:54.559
Let's decorate the canopy of the sky

02:19:54.559 --> 02:20:00.190
Why are you so worried?

02:20:00.190 --> 02:20:05.529
You're here a guest, at nature's behest

02:20:05.529 --> 02:20:11.535
The world was made just for you

02:20:11.535 --> 02:20:16.748
Discover yourself, know who you are

02:20:16.748 --> 02:20:22.421
You are the sun, radiate light

02:20:22.421 --> 02:20:28.176
You are the river, don't you know?

02:20:28.176 --> 02:20:33.849
Flow on, fly high

02:20:33.849 --> 02:20:50.157
You'll find your purpose where you find your happiness

02:20:50.157 --> 02:20:56.747
Why are you so worried?

02:20:56.747 --> 02:21:00.500
You're here a guest, at nature's behest...

02:21:00.500 --> 02:21:07.674
Tiwari, you're still here? You said you'd be leaving in five minutes.

02:21:07.674 --> 02:21:11.553
- What's this you're drawing? - This is a frog, a duck and a banana.

02:21:11.553 --> 02:21:22.022
That's a frog?

02:21:22.022 --> 02:21:33.325
Staleness is sadness, freshness brings joy

02:21:33.325 --> 02:21:36.119
Life is like candyfloss, spun of hopes and dreams

02:21:36.119 --> 02:21:44.628
Savour it and hoard it in the palm of your hand

02:21:44.628 --> 02:21:50.258
If there is thirst in you

02:21:50.258 --> 02:21:55.847
You'll find a rain cloud round the corner

02:21:55.847 --> 02:22:01.394
Don't let anyone come in your way

02:22:01.394 --> 02:22:06.983
Your potential is endless like the sky

02:22:06.983 --> 02:22:12.614
You are the sun, radiate light

02:22:12.614 --> 02:22:18.286
You are the river, don't you know?

02:22:18.286 --> 02:22:23.792
Flow on, fly high

02:22:23.792 --> 02:22:40.475
You'll find your purpose where you find your happiness

02:22:40.475 --> 02:22:46.690
Why are you so worried?

02:22:46.690 --> 02:22:59.744
You're here a guest, at nature's behest...

02:22:59.744 --> 02:23:05.500
Kids, what do you think of my painting? See? Tell me.

02:23:05.500 --> 02:23:08.837
- Awesome, sir! - First prize, sir!

02:23:08.837 --> 02:23:15.010
- Really? First place? - Yes, sir!

02:23:15.010 --> 02:23:26.354
Open the doors, draw the curtains

02:23:26.354 --> 02:23:29.065
Bring your kites, bring your colours

02:23:29.065 --> 02:24:43.181
Let's decorate the canopy of the sky

02:24:43.181 --> 02:24:54.609
Look, the path to the skies is revealed

02:24:54.609 --> 02:25:05.870
And the little lost star has been found again

02:25:05.870 --> 02:25:11.543
The world is awash in starlight

02:25:11.543 --> 02:25:17.257
The universe is aglitter

02:25:17.257 --> 02:25:22.637
You are free

02:25:22.637 --> 02:25:28.184
To soar unfettered

02:25:28.184 --> 02:25:33.815
You are the sun, radiate light

02:25:33.815 --> 02:25:39.487
You are the river, don't you know?

02:25:39.487 --> 02:25:45.035
Flow on, fly high

02:25:45.035 --> 02:26:08.099
You'll find your purpose where you find your happiness

02:26:08.099 --> 02:26:10.560
What a morning this has been!

02:26:10.560 --> 02:26:14.022
Traversing the colourful mosaic of time,

02:26:14.022 --> 02:26:17.233
I have revisited my childhood.

02:26:17.233 --> 02:26:22.447
Amazing. I have also visited the childhood of others.

02:26:22.447 --> 02:26:27.494
I have made George-sir promise that he'll take lessons from Nikumbh-sir.

02:26:27.494 --> 02:26:32.582
- Isn't that right? - Yes, sir!

02:26:32.582 --> 02:26:36.086
But not just only me. Sen and Tiwari, too.

02:26:36.086 --> 02:26:41.174
Actually, both their paintings are even more terrible than mine, sir!

02:26:41.174 --> 02:26:43.385
All right, all right.

02:26:43.385 --> 02:26:47.847
Speaking of Nikumbh, I have got some good news.

02:26:47.847 --> 02:26:51.309
We shall not need to look for a new art teacher,

02:26:51.309 --> 02:26:53.561
because alongside Tulips,

02:26:53.561 --> 02:27:10.245
Nikumbh will be staying on to teach at our school as well.

02:27:10.245 --> 02:27:14.749
And now, the moment you all have been waiting for.

02:27:14.749 --> 02:27:21.089
Without any further ado, let me come to the result of this Art Competition.

02:27:21.089 --> 02:27:26.094
Our chief guest, Mrs Lalitha Lajmi, was in a real fix.

02:27:26.094 --> 02:27:30.223
Competition was very stiff. There were two paintings that caught her eye.

02:27:30.223 --> 02:27:32.142
It was a tie.

02:27:32.142 --> 02:27:34.519
In fact, she was of the opinion

02:27:34.519 --> 02:27:38.648
both paintings should win the award for best painting of the competition.

02:27:38.648 --> 02:27:43.403
But that's not possible, simply because whichever painting wins,

02:27:43.403 --> 02:27:50.535
we thought that should go on the front cover of our school's yearbook.

02:27:50.535 --> 02:27:55.248
Obviously, we can't have two front covers. So what to do?

02:27:55.248 --> 02:27:58.376
What do we do? What do we do?

02:27:58.376 --> 02:28:00.962
Mrs Lajmi was in a big dilemma.

02:28:00.962 --> 02:28:05.633
After much contemplation, she has finally come to a decision.

02:28:05.633 --> 02:28:12.849
She has completely bypassed the teacher and chosen the student!

02:28:12.849 --> 02:28:14.851
That's right, my dear children.

02:28:14.851 --> 02:28:21.566
Your dear beloved teacher Nikumbh has lost.

02:28:21.566 --> 02:28:26.196
And the student he has lost to is...

02:28:26.196 --> 02:28:29.407
...our very own nine-year-old

02:28:29.407 --> 02:28:45.173
Ishaan Nandkishore Awasthi of Grade 3D.

02:28:45.173 --> 02:28:50.094
Ishaan, where are you?

02:28:50.094 --> 02:29:05.944
Ishaan! Ishaan, my boy! Get up!

02:29:05.944 --> 02:29:10.156
Ishaan, where are you?

02:29:10.156 --> 02:29:17.413
Sir, sir, sir! Ishaan Awasthi!

02:29:17.413 --> 02:31:24.123
A big hand, please!

02:31:24.123 --> 02:31:28.753
Come on, Rajan. Say bye to your friends.

02:31:28.753 --> 02:31:30.713
It's time to go.

02:31:30.713 --> 02:31:36.427
- Bye. - Bye, Rajan. I'll miss you.

02:31:36.427 --> 02:31:38.513
Ηere is your son Ishaan.

02:31:38.513 --> 02:31:41.641
And here is his painting.

02:31:41.641 --> 02:31:44.811
Just look at it, what a masterpiece!

02:31:44.811 --> 02:31:49.691
Ηe's a very talented boy and I'm really happy to have him in my school.

02:31:49.691 --> 02:31:53.152
- Ηave you met the teachers? - No...no, sir.

02:31:53.152 --> 02:32:05.248
Go and meet them. They will give you the progress report.

02:32:05.248 --> 02:32:09.627
Thank you so much, Mr and Mrs Dave. Enjoy your summer holidays.

02:32:09.627 --> 02:32:12.046
Ηello. Ηello, come in.

02:32:12.046 --> 02:32:15.425
Mr and Mrs Awasthi, Ishaan's parents.

02:32:15.425 --> 02:32:18.344
- Oh! - Please, sit, sit, sit.

02:32:18.344 --> 02:32:21.681
Your lad, eh? Mighty spirited boy, I must say.

02:32:21.681 --> 02:32:26.060
- What do you say, Tiwari? - At first we thought he had a problem.

02:32:26.060 --> 02:32:29.439
But then he showed tremendous improvement. Commendable!

02:32:29.439 --> 02:32:32.150
Very good! And what perspective.

02:32:32.150 --> 02:32:33.860
Remarkable!

02:32:33.860 --> 02:32:36.320
Ηere's his progress report. Take a look.

02:32:36.320 --> 02:32:41.325
Now, that's progress. Maths, grammar and what a painter!

02:32:41.325 --> 02:32:46.748
- A real discovery. - Ηe is excellent. A very talented kid.

02:32:46.748 --> 02:32:50.376
I just cannot believe this! Thank you.

02:32:50.376 --> 02:32:55.173
- Thank you so much. - No, don't thank us. Thank Nikumbh.

02:32:55.173 --> 02:33:13.566
That Pied Piper! Ηe really turned the boy around.

02:33:13.566 --> 02:33:20.072
Lovely boys.

02:33:20.072 --> 02:33:25.703
Ηey...what happened?

02:33:25.703 --> 02:33:29.332
I really don't know what to say. Ηow can I thank you?

02:33:29.332 --> 02:33:36.339
Come on.

02:33:36.339 --> 02:33:43.721
Ηe's a lovely boy. Just look after him.

02:33:43.721 --> 02:33:53.564
Ishaan, Yohan! Come on. Mama and Papa are waiting.

02:33:53.564 --> 02:34:00.112
Ηey, champ.

02:34:00.112 --> 02:34:12.291
I'm going to miss you.

02:34:12.291 --> 02:34:20.758
Come back fast, eh? After the holidays.

02:34:20.758 --> 02:34:23.803
Off you go.

02:34:23.803 --> 02:34:48.369
- Bye, Yohan. - Bye, sir.

02:34:48.369 --> 02:34:54.083
You are the sun, radiate light

02:34:54.083 --> 02:34:59.755
You are the river, don't you know?

02:34:59.755 --> 02:35:05.344
Flow on, fly high

02:35:10.759 --> 99:59:59.999
You'll find your purpose where you find your happiness
