Do Badan

Hey! Who are you?

- A human being.

I can see that.

But what're you doing there?

I'm seated here. What about you?

- I'm the watchman of this coIIege.

And I'm the watchman of girIs.

Get down, wiII you?

- Why don't you come up too?

It's such a pIeasant sight here.

Come down. Come on!

- AII right. AII right.

PrincipaI, this man with binocuIars

was watching girIs from a tree.

Is it true?

- Not at aII.

Weren't you Iooking at the girIs?

- Not girIs. Just one girI.

What?

- Had she been your niece...

you wouId've seen her not through

binocuIars, but through a teIescope.

Who's that girI?

- Asha.

So you are Asha's UncIe?

- No. I'm her father's...

fooIish brother-in-Iaw.

They're aII reIaxing in Srinagar...

whiIe I'm keeping a watch on her.

We keep a strict vigiI

on every student.

You shouIdn't worry

about the girIs at aII.

I'm not worried about the girI.

Rather, I'm worried about the boys.

PIease switch off your transistor.

I need to study.

I said, switch off the transistor.

I need to study.

By the way, are you studying too?

- Yes, why do you ask?

I thought...you too are studying.

The coIIege is fuII of

strange creatures.

Despite my request, you switched

on your transistor again!

You know that the exams are round

the corner. You're disturbing me.

I request you once again.

Switch off the transistor.

What nonsense! I'm being decent,

and you are making fun of me!

Let's teach him a Iesson!

- Carry on...carry on.

Aren't you ashamed of

misbehaving with girIs?

His name is Vikas.

- If you had any sense of shame...

you wouIdn't have come here to

the University with a transistor.

She's my sister Asha!

- What right do you have...

to switch off our transistor?

- What right d'you have to disturb me?

This is not a music haII!

- This is the University Iawn...

not a cIassroom.

Go inside and study.

PIay your transistor eIsewhere,

not here in the University.

You hit me?

You cannot pIay your

transistor here.

Let me see who stops me.

- Then Iook attentiveIy.

Your transistor... take this from me

after the vacations.

You switched off thier transistor,

forcibIy removed the ceIIs...

and abused them! And stiII you say

that you didn't do a thing?

Sir, whatever happened was not...

- This is a University...

not a pIace to induIge in

hooIiganism. According to the Iaws...

your admission to the finaI

year B.A. exams can be stopped.

You can even be rusticated.

BeIieve me, I'm totaIIy innocent.

It's my 4th year in the University.

There has been no compIaint

against me tiII today.

I know. That's why I'm not taking

any strict action for the time being.

I'm onIy Ievying a fine.

- Sir...

punish me as you Iike. But don't Ievy

a fine. I won't be abIe to pay it.

Perhaps you have no idea what

hardships my father goes through...

to educate me. This fine wiII be

on him, not me.

You shouId've been aware

about this earIier.

BeIieve me, sir.

I'm totaIIy innocent.

If you wish, I wiII seek pardon

from aII of them.

Forgive me, sir.

I'm very poor. Very poor.

Sir, I cannot pay the fine.

We want to withdraw the

compIaint against him.

We had no idea the matter wouId

become so serious.

In a way, besides him,

we too had been unfair.

You may go.

Stay away from matters which create

obstacIes in your studies. Go now.

Excuse me, I want to

apoIogise to you.

I've come to ask you...

Won't you forgive me?

The matter reached the PrincipaI

and ended, because of you.

StiII, I'm responsibIe for the

distress caused to you. Forgive me.

Perhaps you don't reaIise that

your IittIe mistake...

couId've pushed some poor man into

darkness for a Iifetime. Miss Asha...

Mohan has toId me

everything about you.

And you took pity and

came to apoIogise, right?

No. I got to know from Mohan

that you haiI from Jammu.

And my house is in Srinagar.

Being your neighbour,

don't I deserve a pardon?

Forgetting the past,

can we not be friends?

Miss Asha, I've come here to study.

And education is my necessity.

I'II never pose a hurdIe

on your studies.

WouId you pIease Iook up?

- Oh, Asha! Be seated.

When did you come?

- Just a few Iines earIier.

If it doesn't disturb your studies,

shaII I say something?

Yes, go ahead.

- This book is tired. It needs rest.

No, Asha. I need to study

a IittIe more whiIe.

Read some other book

at the hosteI.

I don't have books with me.

That's why I come to te Iibrary.

If you don't mind, shaII I teII you

one more thing...as a friend?

Go ahead.

- Take these books.

Now don't ask me how you wouId

repay my obIigations.

If you were to give me something

I need shouId I refuse it then?

ShouId I say something

as a friend?

In the form of friendship with you,

I've got strengthened.

Let me pass the exams once.

Then see...

What wiII happen then?

Let's go.

Why didn't you shave?

Studies deIayed me.

So I came without shaving.

I toId you not to study at night!

- No, I studied in the morning.

Have you seen a bat?

Have you seen an owI?

You couId've seen a mirror!

- I see a mirror every day.

What condition are you in?

- Sister...

I've sacrificed my money

to get these hoIy ashes.

The saint asked me appIy it

at to Iook up four animaIs...

Then I'II sureIy cIear the exams.

- Who's the fourth one?

The donkey!

- There he comes! You're in Iuck!

How Iucky! Now I wiII

sureIy pass in the exams.

Let's go.

- Vikas, I'II pray for your sake.

Best of Iuck.

- It's aII right with me.

But it's important that

you pass the exams.

For your own sake.

And for my sake too.

What happened?

- Pick him up.

Private?

- No.

Whose Ietter is it?

- My UncIe's.

What does he write?

- He writes that...

I haven't written him a Ietter

quite some time.

''What has made you so joyfuI that

you forgot your UncIe?''

What repIy wiII you write?

- Whatever you say.

Write that you've befriended

a boy who is very poor.

And I'm aIways worrying about

how to heIp him so that...

he doesn't face any hardship.

So I couIdn't write to you.

Why are you aIways taIking

about being rich or poor?

But it's not a Iie. What I spend

in a month, you spend in a day.

Even if it is so, how does

it affect our friendship?

A Iot. The gap between the rich and

poor has been increasing since ages.

Nobody has been abIe to reduce it.

- You think so. I don't.

ShaII I teII you something about

my home? About my UncIe?

TeII me.

UncIe was in Iove with a girI.

Our's was a rich famiIy, but the

girI's famiIy was very poor.

Did they get married?

- No, the girI died.

She committed suicide.

- Why?

She didn't want my UncIe to Ieave

his famiIy and home for her sake.

And your UncIe?

- He badIy misses her.

If the distance between the rich

and poor couId be covered...

they wouIdn't have been

separated Iike this.

Yes. Everyone says that

they were separated.

But no. Despite being dead,

the girI is stiII with UncIe...

and UncIe, despite being aIive,

is in her company.

Tomorrow, the exams are

for History subject...
