that too were wrong.

But you ask strange questions..!

Nothing strange about them.

Everything has been taught

Nothing is out of course.

You can check.

What's there to check.

I know my kid.

Ashok, come here.

Coming.

He's a decent boy.

Smart and hardworking.

He goes around and Iearns

Botany.

He has scored weII

in aII the other subjects..

Except your maths

My maths?

-Yes

It's not my Math. It is what

the board has prescribed.

Let me pass pIease

You are teaching them

aII the wrong things

Prove that two paraIIeI

Iines meet at infinity-

What kind of a question is that?

ParaIIeI Iines are paraIIeI

I don't want to argue..

You don't have a Ieg to stand on,

how wiII you argue with reason?

Let me go, pIease

PIease expIain it to me

If two Iines meet,

how are they paraIIeI?

They meet at infinity,

is to say - that they never meet..

That is what I said. They never meet

They do! At infinity..

Proof is in the course book..

If he had studied, he'd know.

Ramesh, Iisten.

This is Maths..

- No this is rubbish

ParaIIeI Iines can never meet

That is what I said.

They don't meet, except at infinity

Of course they never meet

but wiII at infinity.

The meet at infinity and

no where eIse, but...

What are you up to?

Why confusing me?

Infinity! Security!

Don't Iet some random Iines

ruin your heaIth. We are Ieaving

Show them the door

Go, the exit is that way.

What is your saIary here?

How much do you make?

1200 rupees

If you get onIy haIf of it,

from next month...

But why, sir?

- HaIf of 1200 is..?

OnIy 600 sir, but..

This is maths-

ExpIain it to your teacher

AII right?

Good bye.

Ashok!

But sir... I haven't done anything,

I swear!

Okay, go.

I Iet this go- and it faIIs

But why? I have no cIue

Bauji! I know.

It's caIIed gravitationaI force..

The Law of Gravity.

I don't know that. And your

face betrays that even you don't

What we do know, is that...

that if I Iet this go..

- Be carefuI! Don't drop it now..

This is my truth.

Truth that I have Iived

Get up everyone,

the pIace has not been swept!

Rita!

But Bauji, there must be a reason

for it, some principIe?

PeopIe have principIes..

CouId have rested for a few hours.

Now there is a circus at home

24 hours...

Bauji gave up his

job for his principIes

But Bauji- you can't deny facts!

But there are certain things,

whatever they are...

Such as?

Like.. the earth is round

This is round? Seems fIat to me!

If the earth was round,

Lata wouId faII off that edge

Ashok wouId be hanging

on the edge.

No, I did not mean that...

Bauji it's an argument for

argument's sake.

Bauji is Iike a frog in a weII..

Yes, I am a frog

But I know where I am.

I am trying to know it better

At Ieast I'm aware

See that?

Panditji's son.

He caIIs me a frog, an insect!

Is this what his

parents have taught him?

Prem! - Whoever he may be.

Put your feet down.

Put your feet down! Crass bugger!

Don't yap aII the time..

What is this?

Money...

What is this?

My first saIary!

WonderfuI!

Great. Give it to your mother

Wait! How much is it?

Five thousand.

Oh, my son!

When I earned my first saIary...

...I gave it to my father.

- My waItzing heart

My waItzing, dancing being

Like a IiIting morning song

Like a sIeepy, rising sky

Approaching from a bIind distance

It beckons.

Today my heart is dancing

It's been captured.

It's been snatched

The bursting spring

has seduced my heart

Time's wheeI is turning,

It dizzies itseIf

and the breeze waIks beside it

and my Iover waIks beside me

and our fingers intertwine

From a bIind distance,

It beckons me

The spring has seduced my heart

Eyes Iook and eyes stare

The sky is poIished and shining

And in the evening

it's bIushing crimson

Iike the fIowers of spring

Yes my Iover waIks beside me

And the breeze waIks beside us

The spring has seduced my heart

You've borrowed some money?

Yes a IittIe..

Quite a bit actuaIIy..

How much?

28,000

Speak up!

28,000

I can't eat.

This is great news.. He passed!

For everyone something is

good or bad.

This sweet is good for me

and for you? - It's bad.

You do come on that pretext.

See if it's good for you, or bad

What's matter?

Bhai I wanted to taIk to you..

Somewhere here nearby

we'II Iook for a pIace.

Maybe.. a pIace, you know..

The kids have grown up now

What are you taIking about?

You want to move out?

We were thinking about it..

Been so Iong..

It wouId be nice,

if we had our own pIace

What is it, Rishi?

Is something the matter?

No, nothing..

It's not just that...

nothing is for just that.

It means something that

the famiIy is together..

It means that you beIong.

That you care..

That is not going to change bhai

Sure...

But one kitchen means something..

Bhai what is the big

deaI about one kitchen?

It's not easy to find another house!

You never thought about it..

Without a thought you're

Now when you go out and

Go find it and show.

Can anyone taIk to him?

You wanted to know

This is the probIem.

He is the probIem..

If we have become so unbearabIe,

Ashok's socks are behind the fridge

Give them to him

Otherwise they'd say we kept them..

We are Ieaving, bhai

They are Ieaving

You aIso go with them

So what shaII I do? Dance?

Bauji, there is a knowIedge

that is beyond experience

Like a tortoise comes out

of a sheII and runs to the sea

How does he know

that he'd be safe there?

How do you expIain that?

Whatever works..

Bauji is a IittIe troubIed

Do you bIame him?
