Doctor...

The internet has confused

me with too many options

That's why I'm here.

I need some help.

I...

I want to kill myself.

Suicide.

I haven't showered in a week...

nor have I spoken to anyone.

Even my ceiling fan

stopped responding.

Maybe I'm going insane.

Slightly, but...

The homes and hearts of you...

South Indians are the same...

completely hollow.

How can I forget...

I've replayed that day

in my mind a thousand times.

And what is this

supposed to be?

Sam bar.

- This?!

- Yes.

Ls there a problem?

Just one problem.

You!

If you have a problem,

keep moving.

Excuse me!

You're cutting the line.

How will he eat if

he doesn't cut the line?!

I've been the 'Head Cook'

here for 10 years!

Not a single 'complan'

against my sambar!

There hasn't been a single 'complan',

that's why no improvement!

Can anyone eat this?!

No...

But you'll get used

to it in a while.

The rasgulla's not bad.

Try it.

Give me the rasgulla.

Finish your food first.

Who do you think you are?

Give it to me!

One more.

One rasgulla per student.

Very good.

What's edible,

one per student...

miserable sambar unlimited!

Give her mine...

Please.

Please.

Where did this stupid

idiot come from?

Teaching ME about sambar.

Hi...

I'm Krish.

Ananya.

Are you eating the mess

food for the first time?

Yes.

And this sambar is awful.

I'm very hungry.

Let's go out and eat.

Class is in an hour!

So?

Half a tandoori chicken,

one roomali roti...

Aren't you a South Indian?

Tarn I I ian.

And...

Do you have beer?

Gujarat is a dry state.

Why?

Gandhiji was born here.

And...

he was against beer?

So... coming back

to my question.

What's the difference between

South Indians and Tamilians?

H uge difference.

Thank you.

For example, Tamil Brahmins

don't eat non-vegetarian...

I'm from a pure,

Brahmin household.

I can see that.

And you?

I'm a Punjabi.

We can't digest our

chicken without alcohol.

I hope you're not from lll'.

LlT Delhi.

Why?

Nothing!

Why...

ls that a problem?

Not yet...

Excuse me?

Don't you think ll boys are a little weird?

Meaning?

I mean...

In one week, I've received

10 proposals from llTians...

for marriage!

One even brought me

his grandmother's bangle!

And you think today

will be your 11th?

No...

- That's not what I meant!

- Then what did you mean?

Forget it.

Just because a few boys hit

on you, you've lost your head?

No, nothing like that.

I'm sitting here, aren't I?

Oh... wow! Thanks!

I'm leaving.

Here's my share...

Bye.

I'm sorry! Sorry!

Look...

I don't have any

friends here...

You're the only

one who seemed safe.

For once...

someone wasn't hitting on me!

You know what I mean, right?

Wrong.

I mean...

Why wouldn't I hit on her?

I'm a young,

red-blooded Punjabi.

So what if I'm

average-looking?

I was a man, after all.

I mean... I am.

Rs. 120 each.

So... we're good, right?

Settle down, everyone...

Settle down!

How many Economics

graduates here?

Yes... Ms. Swam I nathan.

Do you recognize the curve?

The basic marginal

utility curve, sir.

Yes! And how do you represent

that curve mathematically?

Um...

Sir, the curve shows

different bundles of goods...

Tell me the

mathematical formula.

I don't know, sir.

Notice, class...

This is the state of Economics

education in this country.

A top graduate doesn't

know the mathematical formula.

You.

The basic marginal utility of

a particular consumer...

can be mathematically...

explained as MU= DUIDQ,

where DU represents change in utility

and DQ represents change in quantity...

Ananya!

Forget it!

These things happen.

Do you want to see

how many medals I have?

I stood third in my university!

But now this Chatterjee

is going to fail me!

I'm sure all the professors will

be laughing at me in the staffroom!

Relax.

In a couple of years you'll

be earning four times their salary.

And they'll be giving the same

lecture to the next batch!

Then you can smile.

Okay?

I've never been so insulted!

Then don't raise

your hand in class.

If you want...

I can help you with economics.

I'm just asking;

this isn't the 11th proposal.

I was a topper in Eco...

Sorry but you're an engineer.

How can you help me?

Correct.

Bye.

Krish!

Okay, done.

8 0' clock? My room.

And by the way...

the score is now 22.

Wow, you're taking

this really seriously!

Come.

My mother.

She's a singer!

Tried to get me to sing, too...

That's why I ran

away and came here!

What's your story?

I don't have a story.

Are you an orphan?

No...

Well then,

what does your dad do?

Shall we start?

If you don't want to tell me,

just say so.

Dad...

Retired Army Officer.

And?

Do you want to fail?

Why are you so grumpy?

Here.

What does he have that I don't?

Luck, bro. Luck!

2 minutes...

Need to make a call.

Kavita, phone!

Kavi.

Hello?

Hello?

Hello?!

Hello?

How many times have I told you?

Stay by the phone after 10!

It's 11! And anyway...

Shipra told me cell phone

vibrations cause hean attacks!

How hard is it

to say hello to him?

You're too stubborn.

So are you.

Forget it.

How are you?

I'm fine...

Have they started serving

chicken there?!

No! When we want non-veg,

we go out and eat.

I still don't understand...

Why did you leave

home and become vegetarian?!

Listen! Have you

made any friends there?

Yes!

Uh...

Punjabi?!

No!

Well...

never mind.

You know how

broad-minded we are!

Of course.

Okay, mom,

I have a test tomorrow so...

I'll hang up now.

Okay, bye.

You don't talk to your father?

Why?

Long story.

So?

So... not today.

What do your parents expect?

After graduation?

I don't know.

I just want to

earn a lot of money.

And then?

Then...

Then l...

actually want to be a writer.

Really?

What will you write?

Haven't thought about it...

Simple things...

Stories about people like us...

I don't want to preach...

I just want to write good,

honest stories.

Whether the story

has a hero or not...

the story should be the hero.

I'm talking nonsense, right?

Not really...

And you?

Mom thinks I can't

do anything...

but most likely

a Marketing job.

For now, I just need

to get good grades.

Ohhh...

So that's why you

made friends with me!

Control yourself...

You're not that

much of a genius.

Okay...

- Goodnight.

- Goodnight.

Krish!

Your theory...

The "Honest Story",

the "Hero" one...

It's very good.

I mean it!

Bye.

Maybe she was

interested in me...

Now... Instead of being happy,

I panicked.

I started behaving

like an idiot.

Krish!

B Plus.

Your shuns are rather short.

What did you get?

A minus.

How?!

I am a gold medalist

in Economics!

Do one thing....

Go show your medal

to Professor Chatterjee.

What's wrong with you?

Nothing.

What could be wrong?

Okay, come on, let's go out.

I owe you a treat!

Dressed like that?

Yes!

Why?

Are you feeling shy?

Aren't you?!

People are staring!

These guys will

stare no matter what I wear!

So you want to excite
