Shashi!

I agree...

but what do you like about Shashi?

She is very beautiful...

her eyes are like

two drops of coffee...

on a cloud of milk

I come to class...

so I can see her

So Shashi...beautiful eh?

Luaro...what you're doing in

class today not correct...

Laurent...all women not French!

spaces in front of publics

Radha...

sorry Radha...

I had a doubt...

I was watching this film...

this man keeps calling

this woman 'judgemental'

She seemed fine to me...

why was he calling her that?

What does 'judgemental' mean?

Mental judge?

Aunty!

You're too funny

'Judgemental means...

You're wearing

a traditional outfit...a sari

Just by looking at you...

without thinking...

without understanding...

without knowing you...

if I were to conclude...

that you are a typical

Indian conservative woman...

when in reality

actually...

you're a free thinking woman

then I would be called...

'judgemental'!

Judgemental...

Aunty...

so much English so fast?

Errant heart

Heart's in trouble

There is trouble in the heart

Errant heart

A bit hard

A bit of a coward

Why do you stop at

the doorway of pain?

Why do you put

yourself on trial each time?

Why do you laugh when you want to cry?

You fail to decide

between right and wrong

Errant heart

Heart's in trouble

There is trouble in the heart

Errant heart

Your breath is freezing cold

Your eyes are full of smoke

Your constant gamble of joy and pain

Your eternal sense of hope

Your fear of yourself

Why do you complicate

an uncomplicated journey?

Why do you not

listen to your own advice?

Errant heart

Mama!

Surprise!

Shocked right?

You were to come next week...

It was Manu's idea to surprise you

We had to plan so carefully...

to keep it a secret from you

Do you want coffee, Shashi?

Errant heart

Heart's in trouble

There is trouble in the heart

Errant heart

A bit hard

A bit of a coward

You must have been in a lot of

pain... to not come with us...

but take off by yourself

If you don't like

being with us any more...

you should have told us...

we wouldn't have come here

Satish...what are you saying...

What do you mean...'what'?

What's happened to you Shashi?

It looks like you were happier alone

I was just...

Thank god I didn't send

the kids earlier with you

That's it!

Enough of this English!

What's happened to me?

English has become more

important than my children!

Aunty nothing happened...

Sagar is fine

No Radha...

I should have come along with you all

I have become so selfish...

I have forgotten my responsibilities

I didn't come here to learn English
