...and the kids' future

was now collateral.

So, St. Notker's management

rushed to the aid of the Municipality.

The government has come up with

something called Right to Education.

So the Municipal school students

became St. Notker's students,

and that land is now St. Notkers'

playground.

9F is the last batch

of these slum kids.

Their parents don't have a problem with

a separate division for these 14 kids?

Their parents have bigger problems

to worry about ma'am...

...like putting food on the table

and standing in line to fill water.

Ma'am, in the beginning,

these slum kids tried really hard...

...to keep up with the kids here.

But the kids here

never accepted them,

and even the teachers

didn't help much either.

So now the slum kids are rebelling.

You're their 8th class teacher

in the last 7 months.

Bloody dog!

But what's the matter?

- Oye?

- Ya?

- What's the answer for this?

- 3.

I'm little Tamil boy straight

from Chennai to Dharavi.

I'm too local, don't mess with me

and get killed.

I'll pop like soda bottle instantly

if you test me.

And it's us when it's all hip hop

wicked and wild in this city.

Aah... wild in the city.

Hear ye-hear ye, listen up!

Say what, what, what?!

You bring your A game,

but we the real playas!

Ma hommie's a little

slow off the bloc.

He no rabbit, he da tortoise...

he's gonna beat the clock!

Madam please, go easy,

they're Wi-Fi, we're 3G!

Madam please, go easy,

they're Wi-Fi, we're 3G!

You feel me bro?!

Vasco De Gama,

got no home or place.

He cries to his Mama,

cause we on his case.

Carrots and sticks,

for the lady with tics.

Here's a mango!

Make her do the tango!!!

No! I don't give 'Free massages'!

Wrong number!

Don't you give massages?

But don't be glum,

our time has come.

In this ring,

we're the only kings.

Madam please, go easy,

they're Wi-Fi, we're 3G!

Madam please, go easy,

they're Wi-Fi, we're 3G!

A solution is a homogenous mixture

of two or more substances.

Lemonade, soda and water,

are some examples of solutions.

If 9F is that interesting Natasha,

you can join them.

Sorry sir.

Madam please, go easy,

they're Wi-Fi, we're 3G!

Madam please, go easy,

they're Wi-Fi, we're 3G!

I'm little Tamil boy straight

from Chennai to Dharavi.

I'm too local, don't mess with me

and get killed.

I'll pop like soda bottle instantly

if you test me.

I'm a little boy but still I'll wear

my dhothi above my knee.

Sachin is the star of cricket.

But Rajinikanth is a superstar.

And it's us when it's all hip hop

wicked and wild in this city.

Madam please, go easy,

they're Wi-Fi, we're 3G!

Madam please, go easy,

they're Wi-Fi, we're 3G!

So, are you able to tolerate 9F?

Sir, they're not that bad.

I don't know, if they'll be able

to tolerate me.

FYI, that book isn't in the

9th grade syllabus.

I told you Ms. Mathur,

they don't belong here.

I'm sorry you had to suffer

because of them.

Principal sir also agrees,

they need to be suspended.

Yeah.

Sir, it's just so embarrassing sir.

Actually I was trying to explain...

...how Liquid Nitrogen expands

in my Chemistry class.

I'm so sorry, I didn't realize

it will explode.

I'm just so sorry sir.

They didn't do anything.

What exactly are you trying

to prove Ms. Mathur!

You think we're all fools?

The whole school should suffer

because of 9F?

Get to your classes. Move.

Ms. Mathur, we all know

this is their doing.

You do too.

You're still protecting them!

Yes sir.

Like you said, we all know

this prank might be their doing.

But sir, what they did requires

planning, foresight, intelligence.

Sir, I believe if we can find a way

to channelize this energy correctly,

they can make St. Notker's proud

one day... I assure you sir.

It's a fool's dream Ms. Mathur.

They don't belong here.

They never did and never will.

They will sir.

Maybe we just haven't tried

hard enough - they do belong.

Are you challenging me?

They just need some time...

and effort sir.

How much time?

Huh?

Set a deadline.

For 9F, and yourself.

Sir, 4 months. Till the final exams.

And after 4 months?

Sir, after the exams the results

will speak for themselves.

You can do what seems right.

But I get the next 4 months -

no questions asked.

Please sir.

Okay.

Thank you, sir. Thank you.

Hurts the ear, doesn't it?

I used to hear this in school.

17 years later, I heard

this noise again,

from the chalk, and from you all.

This is what you all have been

doing, right?

In school - in life...

Just screeching.

What're you trying to prove?

That no one can break you!?

It might come as a surprise to you...

...that nobody here is interested

in breaking you.

But yeah... we are interested

in teaching you.

You know what's amazing

about this chalk?

If you break a small part

from the tip...

It stops screeching.

A tiny piece.

A small change.

That's the difference between

'why' and 'why not'.

Final exams are 4 months away.

Now, you all have to decide -

if you want to make that

small change...

...or just keep screeching?

I'll see you guys,

at exactly 9 tomorrow.

If you guys aren't here,

I'll hand over my resignation

to the Principal at 9:10.

But if you guys are here,

then we'll start over.

Not with 'Why', with 'why not'.

Naina ma'am is right.

If we really wanna make some noise,

let's pass the final exam.

Ms. Stammer is now ma'am?!

If it wasn't for her,

we'd be suspended!

So?!

You want to become a lab rat

for her Science project?!

I think none of us should

show up tomorrow.

Why're you guys not in school?

The Greek professor is known for...

Visionary poets of America.

...but away from each other.

What is this force called?

Shall we begin with Maths, today?

Like every year,

St. Notker's honours the students...

...who have set new standards

for academic excellence.

I would like to request, Head of the

Student Council Mr. Wadia,

to present the top students

with Prefect Badges...

and to say a few words

on this occasion.

Sunidhi Prabhakaran - 9A,

Natasha Khanna - 9A,

Akshay Verma - 9A,

Saad Mainani - 9A.

People look for role models

in history.

But your role models

are in front of you.

To share the stage with such

top students must be your aim.

And the students on this stage,

you need to fulfill the responsibilities

of this Prefect Badge.

The responsibility of being

a true St. Notkerite.

When in doubt, remember:

the badge isn't for you -

you are for the badge.

Here?

C'mon in. Come, Come.

Quickly take your seats.

Let's have our class here today.

Isn't it lovely?

And today, we'll try a new roll call.

Ready?!

Aatish,

Killam,

Oru,

Tamannah,

Ashwin,

Ravinder,

Raghu,

Tara, Shagufta, Pankaj.

Well done my precious eggs!

Full attendance.

The eggs are boiled,

you can eat them if you like.

The egg could've gone anywhere

in the air, but all of you caught it.

Mathematically speaking...

...the equation of the egg's flight

is called Parabola.

You caught the egg without
