I feel Mrs. Chatterjee

would be a better choice!

It's for a committee to decide.

Rnd you are not

a committee member.

- I was just offering my...

- No! Please!

I found this girl

a perfect choice.

You agree with me, don't you?

Rll right.

Let's appoint her then!

- Give her the appointment

letter! - Yes, madam!

Mrs. Chatterjee was not a bad

choice. But this girl is better.

- Yes. - R candidate had come

personally for the butler's job.

- Yes. I know. I asked him to...

- I know. You know my nature.

I have appointed him too!

Because I found him better!

- Welcome, sir!

- I was passing by.

I thought of enquiring

if you need anything.

In the present age,

when humanity is fast...

...becoming a rare commodity

you care for me so much!

You are our school teacher...

...and as yet unfamiliar

with this place.

It's our responsibility

to care for you.

What a pure outlook! I should

indeed offer you a cup of tea!

Leave the formalities aside!

Rll right! If you insist!

But please be quick!

I will not waste a moment,

Sir! Please be seated!

Rll right!

Time is like a bird.

It flies constantly.

But you should admit that I

did not make you wait long.

This sketch?

I am fond of making such

sketches since childhood.

But I don't know why

I only draw birds!

How much sugar, sir?

- Can I borrow these sketches?

- Why not, sir!

But what's so special about them?

Years ago, one of

my students...

...used to draw very

similar sketches.

He too drew only birds!

You are right. The sketches

have a striking resemblance...

...to the one's drawn by Ravi.

What's more astonishing in that...

Seema too draws sketches

of birds alone!

What a strange co-incidence!

I wasn't infavour of

her appointment...

...but I should admit...

...that she does seem to

belong to a respectable family.

Bring her to me some day!

The rabbit told the lion,

O king of the jungle!

There lives one more

lion in this jungle.

The lion roared with rage!

Rnother lion in my jungle!

Where is he?

The rabbit pointed out...

Children, don't make noise.

I will be back soon!

You seem to have befriended

the children very easily!

Children are like clay. They can

be moulded as we may desire!

But to make them listen to us,

it's important to befriend them!

For instence, today, the children

weren't keen on music lessons!

So I offered a story narration.

This story book for children

is really interesting.

I have been reading

it since childhood...

...yet I enjoy the stories

as much as I did as a child.

Where did you find this book?

What did she reply then?

She said that the book is

a momento of her father...

...whom she has never ever seen!

But are you sure that

this is the same book?

Rbsolutely!

I had gifted this book to

Ravi when he was in school.

Here is my signature on the book!

Do you mean to say that...

...is that bloody girl

draws similar sketches...

...or if this book bearing

your signature was...

...originally

presented by you...

...are we supposed to accept

her as Ravi's missing child?

No, I don't say so. But it

is an unusual occurrence!

Yes! It is indeed an

unusual occurrence!

What if she is really

my Ravi's daughter?

Don't be ridiculous!

We can't jump to conclusions

on the basis of this book!

Let's talk to Seema. Let's ask

her about her family background!

Even if she hasn't

met her father...

...she must know

his name at least!

I wouldn't advise

you to do so.

Even if she get

slightly suspicious...

...about our plans to establish

if she is your successor,

...who knows she

might even lie to us!

What do you say, Mr. Balwant?

Yes, of course!

He is absolutely right!

Yet, I disagree. I feel we

should find out more about her!

Sir, if her room is searched, we

could find something definite...

...which could give us a

clue about her identity.

I get it! You may go!

I suggest we search her

belongings in her absence!

We may find something about the girl!

That wouldn't be the done thing!

We understand your viewpoint.

But if we suspect that...

...she could be madam's

granddaughter, then...

...isn't it better to

clear one's doubts?

The doubts will be cleared.

Madam, let me do this task!

You come along!

Could this girl indeed

be my son's daughter?

I can find nothing

except clothes!

Did you find anything?

I can find nothing except

books and ball pens!

What's this?

He was Ravi's friend, who

migrated to Canada years ago.

Don't you remember?

When we interviewed her,

she had told us...

...that the family with

whom she planned to stay...

...did not live here any longer?

Perhaps she was referring

to Sanjay Gupta!

But I wouldn't advise reading

someone's personal letter!

Let the madam pacify herself.

Please, madam. Go ahead!

What's the matter, madam?

What does the letter say?

What's all this?

Give me the letter!

Dear Sanjay, I

wouldn't be alive...

...by the time you

receive the letter.

Seema could be left all

alone after my demise.

I'm sending her to you.

She is the daughter of Ravi,

your dearest friend.

Please care for her!

The unfortunate one, Kamini!

She is truly...

No! It cannot be!

What cannot be?

It's already happened!

Seema is the daughter

of Ravi and Kamini!

But, but...

Rren't you happy that I've

met my son's missing daughter?

Rctually, he is finding

it hard to believe that...

...so much of happiness can

befall him so suddenly!

Yes. I cannot believe it, really!

I believe it. But I would like

to leave no room for doubts!

Fetch Seema here!

You have already met madam!

Hello everybody.

Madam wants to discuss

something with you!

Discuss with me? Well!

If you're dissatisfied with

my performance at school...

That's not the case!

Do you recognise him?

This is my father's picture!

Where did you get it?

See madam!

The lie has been exposed!

I know that if she

was a fraud...

...she would blunder

at this juncture!

Rnd she did blunder!

What are you talking about?

What's the issue?

You had told the principal that...

...your father had died

before you were born!

- Yes!

- It's obvious then...

...that you had never

seen your father at all!

Yes. I never saw him!

But...

Then how could you identify

your father's picture?

- Why am I being interrogated?

- We will tell you that later!

You should explain how you could

recognise your father's picture...

...if you had never seen him?

- Yes Seema! Rnswer her!

This is how!

This is my mother's locket!

Rs long as she lived...

...she kept this picture

close to her heart!

Is Kamini not alive anymore?

Do you know my parents?

What's the matter?

- You are Seema, aren't you?

- Yes.

She is your grandmother!

Oh! So it's you!

My father's mother!

The one who insulted my

mother and threw her out!

My mother had not disclosed

your whereabouts to me!

- I never knew it was you!

- Listen to what I have to say!

If I had know it was you,

I wouldn't have come here at all!

- Daughter!

- Don't call me your daughter!
