discovery toys... STEM toys.

Whatever you want Pia.

Oho dinosaur!

Aara, we have friends here.

Hello.

- Two dinosaurs?

- Yes.

This one's a Tyrannosaurus

Rex and this one is a Stegosaurus.

I see... which one's going to win?

Obviously Tyrannosaurus,

It's a carnivore.

Wonderful Aara, superb.

Good morning, Parth.

- Buonas dias! Bonjour! Guten morgen!

- Morgen.

- [SPEAKS IN GERMAN]

- Yeah.

Super.

What did he say?

One language is never enough,

Mr. Batra.

He's trilingual... and

a sitar player as well.

I see...

He's performed at that

India International Centre,

just last month.

Your child will be competing

with these children.

"Twinkle-Twinkle little star."

"How I wonder what you are."

Yes, dear... what you are.

What you are is what you are.

Dhruv, I can see you.

Don't bite your nails.

Come...

- Fine... we'll send our child.

- Great.

- So when can she start?

- Right now.

But it won't be just Pia...

in fact, you two will

also have to undergo training.

No-no... we don't want any training.

It's her admission. Train the kid.

She will work hard.

We can pay you extra.

Sure. If that's what you'd like,

Mr. Batra.

- No problem...

- No...

But... if you don't get training...

then, Pia won't get admission

in a good nursery school.

And if she doesn't

get into a top school...

then, she's not going

to get into any good college...

anywhere in the country.

And without a good

college on her resume...

she's not going

to get a job in an MNC.

And without a good job... all

her friends will surpass her.

Exactly.

And she will be left alone.

Exactly.

And if she's left alone,

she will think she's a failure.

She will be depressed.

- And what if she starts doing drugs?

- Wait-wait...

We'll do whatever you want us to do,

tell us what to do.

- Great...

- What to do?

So the first step is... filling

the school application form.

Remember, Mr. Batra. This

is the first round of elimination.

One word can make

or break Pia's life.

Yes.

- Great.

- Thank you.

- See you tomorrow.

- Yes.

It's been 25 years.

Time for Maharathi(MYTHICAL PLACE)

to come on this side of the wall.

Only a mystical serpent

could break this wall.

And so I did.

She's forgotten

all about Maharathi.

She doesn't even remember

it's been 25 years.

Raj...

Raj...

- Raj, are you listening?

- Yeah...

What yeah?

Raj, what are you doing?

Just a minute,

Honey... just one minute.

Just turn that off.

The serpent is about to take revenge.

I've filled the form.

Just go through it once.

If someone asks you,

you should know what's in it.

Okay.

- Don't forget to take a look.

- Okay.

I am going to bed.

Go spill your poison.

She did it... She did it!

Profile of the child.

Pia Batra.

Pia has a...

curious nature.

She is always asking... question.

What is this? This isn't working.

'Rapidex...'

Yeah, this one's right...

Pia has an... inspecting

nature... which is important...

substance...

- May I?

- Yeah.

Thanks.

- Please...

- Raj, let me...

Allow me.

Pia has inspecting nature.

She has important substance

in her body language.

She questions every answer,

every object, every item.

She exams... new things.

She inspection on

everything... actions-reactions.

She is very-very specialist child.

- Okay.

- Finished?

Yeah...

Did you write it?

Surprised, aren't you?

I spent the entire night... scanned

through the entire dictionary.

This is George, he's a writer.

He will help you.

- Help?

- Yeah.

It wasn't right?

Full marks for the effort Mr. Batra,

but this is not going to work.

Understand that.

Pia.

She has a maturity about her, that

is balanced by a bewitching charm...

and a delightful sense of humor.

She is everything a parent could want.

Bright, industrious... but

most importantly to us...

honest and humble.

We're very blessed to

have Pia as our daughter.

Wonderful, sir... simply wonderful.

I could hardly recognize

it was our daughter.

Kiddo, give your father a kiss.

I love Pia a lot.

But I am completely impressed by her.

Thank you, sir.

Pia's impressed everyone.

Now it's our turn.

Send it to me, and I'll revert back.

You've to send me something, yeah...

Send me the spreadsheet, and I'll...

I will...

I'll call you back.

Wow.

Wow... amazing.

You two look like a brand store.

- Exactly. We own a brand store.

- Right.

We thought... we should

get the upper-class feel as well.

Otherwise, we'll look different in

comparison to the other parents.

Right.

Well... you two are looking different.

But you see... rich

people don't show off.

'Less is more.'

'Less is more?'

Less is more...

I'll just call someone

who will explain it to you.

Hello.

Hi, darling. I know you're

really exhausted after fashion week...

But there are two people

who really need your help.

Help?

Yeah... thanks, darling, I owe you.

Big time.

Okay, bye.

Lucius is going to help you.

Before you leave just come

to my office and take the number.

What's the problem?

Okay... it's a mock interview,

but take it seriously.

Okay.

Ready?

Okay.

If your child refuses to go to school,

what will you do?

Well... we'll definitely

not hit or scold her.

That's a relief, very good.

We'll say "If you go to school,

we'll give you a lollypop".

- What?

- Lollypop.

- Lollypop?

- Lollypop.

What... is wrong with you, Mr. Batra?

How can you do that?

Bribing is not right.

I mean... you can't offer her

a lollypop to send her to school.

- Bribing is not right.

- Right.

We'll ask her why she

doesn't want to go to school.

Because you see, sometimes...

what appears small to us, might

be of a bigger problem to children.

Yeah...

But no matter what,

bribing the child is not right.

This is my favorite question.

How will you introduce the

concept of 'Poverty' to your child?

Why do... we need to introduce poverty?

Doesn't that exist

everywhere in our country?

We've beggars at every nook

and corner begging for alms...

- We won't need to introduce them.

- Right.

Think these things if you want,

but please...

don't say such

things in the interview.

If they ask you this question...

just say "Sharing

is Caring" and then...

Sharing is Caring.

- Sharing is Caring.

- Very good.

Smile.

We'll take the kid to the orphanage.

Orphanage.

Orphanage.

We'll take her to the orphanage...

and ask her to share her toys

with the underprivileged children...

so that she understands.

Because Caring is Sharing.

- Sharing...

- Huh.

- Sharing.

- That's what I said.

First 'sharing' then 'caring'.

Because Sharing is...

What was it?

Lord, the interview was amazing...

let the result be just as great.

Offerings every Tuesday.

Offerings every Tuesday.

Lord... it's a very humble request.

Offerings every morning.

I just want my child

to get an admission. Please.

I'll offer a blanket every Sunday.

Just get my child the admission.

Please-please-please.

Jesus, please let my

child get the admission.

I will fire candle
