And think they're brilliant.

But they're not.

Then they die. Either from hunger.

Or as frustrated alcoholics.

If he lives in my house

he has to obey my rules.

I don't want to work in a factory.

Did I ask for your opinion?

Did anyone?

What are you staring at?

I'll whack you so hard your

eyes will fall in your plate.

Lower your eyes and eat your food.

See how cheeky he is Jimmy?

What would our father have done,

If we had behaved like this.

He would've melted our bones

along with steel in the furnace.

And if we'd been kicked out

of the best school in India...

Do you know what he would have done?

We'd be out on the streets

till we proved our worth.

If you don't behave yourself

I'll treat you the same way.

At least your father would've

met you once in eight years...

No, no...

He's just a child...

Child? He's insolent.

Let me go...

Hardly has a moustache...

And talks back to his father.

I'm talking to you...

How dare you...

Stop, Stop... You'll kill him.

Let him go...

Enough.

Why do you talk to him like that?

He doesn't understand any other way.

He brought you into this world.

Mummy did that...

He is your father.

What kind of a father is he?

He abandoned me for eight years...

One letter a year which

sounded like the news on TV.

"Everything is fine here.

I got your results...

"...you could do better."

I had even forgotten his face...

Saw him at the station

and wondered who he was...

I'm his son, not a

fixed deposit in a bank.

I'll clean toilets all my life

but I won't work for him.

Come on, get up.

Every father wants his son to

grow up to be just like himself.

Give him a chance.

He might understand.

I know that you'll do

whatever it is you want...

But first stand on your feet.

Then be whatever you want to

be; Write or clean toilets.

Come...

The food's getting cold...

Come. For my sake...

You can't deny a fat man his food...

I'm starving.

Bring Arjun upstairs.

Arjun get up.

Arjun get up.

Let's get some facts straight...

This is my house...

If you stay here, you will

have to live by my rules.

First rule-

Call me Sir as Arjun does.

What did you call

your seniors at school?

Sir

What happened at Jimmy's

should never happen again.

You will never...

Ever misbehave with me again...

You will not raise your voice...

And you will only do as I say.

Understood?

Okay

The word is 'Yes'

Yes

Yes what?

Yes Sir

Give up your dreams of

being a writer.

It will not happen.

Stop flying.

Keep your feet on the ground.

Do you understand me?

Yes Sir.

You will come to the

factory with me from tomorrow.

You'll work there till lunch

then leave for engineering college.

Thanks to your school record...

I've had to beg a

lot of favours for you.

If you let me down again...

I'll slit your throat.

Do you understand?

Did Sir shout at you?

He always shouts at me.

Or beats me.

Be down in five minutes.

Arjun.

I'll show you the sights

of Jamshedpur while we jog.

When we return, we will

race from there to here.

But I don't want to race.

Has anyone asked you?

Lets go.

And you?

I can't run.

Why?

Chotu.

- Brother...

Got your son running too?

Run Rohan run

Come on! Catch up!

Shall I come too?

I'm coming...

Run.

You know who this is?

Sumant Moolgaonkar!

He made this park

Come on...

Lets go.

Come on...

J.N. Tata.

J.R.D. Tata

JUSCO:

P.N. Bose.

St. George's Church

Come on.

Timing?

Forty one minutes.

Good.

Disgraceful!

Disgraceful!

Listen

Study well

I shouldn't get any complaints.

Okay Sir.

This is my son Rohan.

He's been at Bishop Cotton School.

He will be joining us from today...

Let's hope he'll

work as hard as we do.

And be a good co-worker.

He is my son, but at home.

Not here.

If anyone has a complaint

about him...

Please feel free to voice it.

Understood?

Now get to your work.

Come Mr. Rao.

You too

Mr. Rao is the manager here.

He will brief you about your work.

He is older than you.

Shall we?

Just a moment...

Best of luck.

An engineer always faces the task

Of describing shapes

of objects on paper.

The paper, through which an

engineer conveys the details

Of a machine or object is

called Engineering Drawing.

In order to present the exact

size and shape of the object,

The lines are drawn perpendicular

to the planes of the paper

From various angles of the object,

giving an image on the paper.

These are called

Orthographic projections.

In the figure 10.1

All three sides,

that is front, side, top...

Can be seen together.

When the projections are

parallel to one another...

And also perpendicular

to the picture plane,

The projection thus forming a plane

is called Orthographic Projection.

When a surface, front, side or top...

Of the object is to

be depicted separately

It is drawn in the

true shape and proportion.

By assuming the object

placed in a particular position,

Where only the surface

to be drawn is visible.

The projection is the representation

of the shape of an object.

On a plane or surface...

Don't you know that

style is taxed in college?

Now you know...

Will you cut your hair now?

What shall we do with him?

Sit ups.

Fifty sit

- ups.

Go down. All the way.

Stand.

Who's counting? My father?

He asked you to sit, not sh*t.

What are you laughing at?

You can't escape me now!

I'm big, I'm small,

I'm stronger, I have a gun.

How will you kill me?

Put it on my account.

Come on. Lay out the food.

Why don't we keep a cook?

Will you pay?

And a maid for Arjun...

Yes, you can keep one.

When you earn, you can keep one.

Maid, cook, whatever...

There's a recession on,

Do you understand what that means?

Go. Call Arjun.

Sir is calling you for dinner.

He's coming.

Yes!

Rum and coke.

I remember, I had chased him...

Do you know my name?

No

Mishter Apu.

Mister Apu.

Mishter

Mister...

Mishter...

- Mishter. - Appu. - Appu.

We are your seniors,

you know that don't you?

Yes.

Then you also know that a

senior can do anything he likes.

What shall we do with him?

Sing a song?

What the f*** fatso!

You always make people sing.

He makes everyone sing.

You want to make it to Indian Idol?

Why do you keep asking me?

Ask him. He never says anything.

Okay. You.

What shall we do with him?

What will you do?

You understand sit-ups?

No

Look, like this...

Sit down and then up...

Sing a song on sit-ups.

Sit-up fatty...

Do it. Sit and then up...

Hands on your ears...

Sit and then up.

Please sing. Sing a song on sit up.

I know you know a song.

You're sitting so quietly,

there's something on your mind...

It's our first meeting,

it's our first meeting...

Well sung...

You making fun of me?

- No...

Are you making fun of me?

- Fun? I'm not making fun...

In front of this boy.

No man, you sang well...

He laughed at me.

Don't laugh

You're making fun of me fatso.

No I'm not.

He always does this.

Why are you getting angry?

Who have you come to bully?

Him or me?

Let it go.
