even now if I cannot sleep I read it.

It makes me feel like

my mother is right next to me.

Even now your mother

is right next to you.

I am talking about

the book in your hands.

You seem very attached to your mother.

She is the most wonderful

person I have ever known in my life.

My Dad sat next to me for

two hours but could not recognize me.

But my mother she came searching for me.

I mean the connection between a mother

and child is a magical connection right?

True.

What are you doing?

I run a business in cyber city.

No not that,

Nothing, nothing.

I am starving.

Would you like to join us for lunch?

Me?

introduce myself. I am Priya.

I am Nageswara Rao.

This is Divya.

- Hi.

Now he is no longer

a stranger to us right?

Now Divya,

Please.

Of all the women in the world

my mother is the most beautiful.

Most guys talk about girls

all the time but listening to a guy...

...talk about his mother for

so long with such love first time.

Talking about your mother

is the same as talking to her right?

What my sons, I say what

the heaven are you doing here?

There are only ten days left for

our colleges Deep Woods youth festival.

Till now you haven't been able

to raise any sponsorship for it.

You stupid.. My Lord.

That's because

we are so focused on our studies...

...we even study in our sleep, Father.

A student who passes at least

one subject a year can say this.

I have told you so many times

about how prestigious this event...

...is for me and our college.

Praise the Lord, Father.

May the Lord be praised. Come in child.

Oh sorry Father. I interrupted

...otherwise I will tear you all apart.

Praise the Lord Father. Praise the Lord.

May the Lord be praised. Get out.

Hell! He makes us

look worse than beggars.

What are they doing

with our fees and donations.

Cannot he use those

funds for the festival.

May the Lord be praised.

He might be transferring

to his personal account.

That's right.

- Boys. Silence.

I do not understand what to do about

these sponsorships and this festival.

Guys I know him.

Who?

I told you about the

guy I ran into on the flight.

Radha & Krishna group of industries.

Number one businessman in India.
