- Yes.

You have nal year

Civil Engineering books?

No sir.

- Concrete design?

- No sir.

- Structure analysis?

- No sir.

You got all your books?

Pack these please!

You never told me where you live.

You know Bhelupur?

- Bhelupur?

- Right after that.

My friend Prerna lives there

I'll say I'm going there and

I'll visit you.

Great idea, right?

You'll come to my house?

I mean... your parents won't mind?

If you don't feel like it, I won't.

No, I didn't mean that.

Hey, hold this for a second.

This is your birthday gift.

Put them on.

Is it audible?

Thank you.

Have you ever been to Sangam?

I come here often.

In few days we'll be off on

a pilgrimage in a bus.

ALL OF US:
Uncle, aunt,

grandpa, and grandma.

Will you come along?

- Where?

- With us.

With you?

I'll have to think about it.

What is it?

You must be the youngest

in your family, right?

Right! How did you know?

The youngest are always chatterboxes.

That hurts! Your hand is

like a hammer!

It's the ring.

My uncle gave it to me

when I was a kid.

It's stuck now.

My ngers grew...

the ring stayed the same.

Everybody loves me

because I'm the youngest.

What is it?

I don't know.

You're the youngest, right?

So I kissed you.

Shaalu.

Will you marry me?

I don't know.

Will your folks agree?

I don't know.

You want to meet them?

Will you introduce me?

You won't tell me where you live...

but you are in a hurry to

come to my place?

- Shall I go?

- You stay near by?

Around the corner,

the house on the left.

Where's your house?

You said it was near Belupur...

Shivala?

Kamacha!

OK, I got it.

- Durgakund, right?

- Why?

What's bothering you?

I told you I stay near Bhelupur.

You have nothing else to talk about?

I was just joking.

You think this is funny?

Want to know where I live?

Come, I'll take you.

Come, let me take you there and

curb your curiosity!

You want the truth?

I live by Harischchandra Ghat.

I was born and raised there.

We burn bodies, light pyres.

Me, my father, my uncles,

my brother... all of us, for ages.

Ever see a body burn?

Tell me, have you?

I see them all day, every day.

I burn the dead, day and night.

In the re, the skin melts

and all that's left is the bones.

We smash the skull

and wash the ashes into the Ganges.

Can you imagine?

Want to come and see?

What happened? Won't you use

your friend's pretext now?

Where's my tip?

Why?

An employment letter from the

government deserves a good tip.

You're the new employee right?

Yes.

Please have a seat.

Just 2 minutes later...

and you could have lled

my water bottle too

I'm Sadhya.

Hello.

The railway has printed a great guide.

We had to learn without

books, the hard way!

Look at this...

This is Mr. Mukherjee.

He used to work here

before you joined.

He refused to learn computers.

- May I use this?

- Yes, sure.

Railways relocated him to a remote

area in Rajasthan.

Now he issues train tickets manually.

You must be well trained

in computers?

Yes.

Very nice.

Ticket!

Good morning.

- Where to?

- Lalpur.

Shaalu, aunt is calling you.

You know...

you're not like the other boys!

Really? How?

There is a certain

sense of honesty in you.

Like the honesty in

Nida Fazli's poetry.

Now who is this Nida Fazli?

That's how honest you are!

The food was delicious...

but the salad was stale.

Even the lentils were brilliant.

It better be.

The owner's from our caste.

So, you finally called, huh?

It was you who

overreacted that day...

and now you're mad at me?

Sorry!

I didn't ask for an apology.

- I'm so stupid!

- That's true

I have no manners.

Even that is true!

Where've you reached?

Haven't even crossed the state yet.

Near the border.

OK, listen...

My parents...

they...

they'll never approve of you.

They're stuck in the past

with their old-fashioned ideas.

But I'm with you.

With time, parents

do come around.

Just get yourself a good job.

Yes, I'm doing my best.

Placements season is approaching.

I will do my best!

That's the spirit!

I'll handle the rest.

If it comes to it,

I'll run away with you.

OK, lake care! Bye!

Hey man! Let's go back!

We just came in!

I have a lot to study.

Hey, turn the boat around.

Sir... extra sheet, please.

Thank you

I'm doing my nal year

in civil engineering...

from Seth Kinaram Agarwal

Polytechnique College.

My career objective is to

pursue a career in engineering...

with focus on mechanical drafting.

DEEPAK:
Can't wait to see you.

I'm about to get a job!

Shove the skull inside

I'll go get Deepak to help.

Hey, Deepak.

- What is it?

- Hurry up.

Dad's drunk again and there

are lots of bodies to burn.

Wake up!

Everybody wants to avoid

work in this family!

I'm bloody tired of this

bonded labor!

Hell, Deepak!

Wait up, you thief!

One more time and I'll

throw you in these pyres!

They have not even covered

the bodies properly.

Shambu! Light some pyres there

I'm on it.

Bathe this one rst.

DeePak!

Light some pyres over there and

then some more over there.

There?

Near the edge.

As many as you can.

- Shall I nish here rst?

- Yes.

More sawdust!

Sikandar needs more wood.

Go help him.

Deepak! Give us a hand.

Be careful.

Easy.

Did the cops say anything?

That the pilgrims' bus fell

into the Ganges.

Really?

Public aid workers dumped

all the bodies here.

Not a single survivor?

No.

You know...

28 trains stop at this station.

Guess how many don't?

64!

Which means, it's

easy to come here...

but it's difcult to leave!

Could you check

the status of this ticket?

Listen... l know it was fun.

But we need to get back now.

One more day.

Not conrmed yet.

Could you check the last

minute availabilities?

Even one seat for both of us is ne.

One seat? I like that...

No seats available.

- Any cancellations?

- None whatsoever!

Come and see this amazing competition!

Never before seen!

Jhonta!

And now, ladies and gentlemen...

these kids will dive.

Jhonta!

He's not here. Bet on someone else.

Put your money on Babua.

He's sure to win!

Put it on Babua.

- How much?

- 200 Rupees.

Professor bets 200 on Babua!

Get ready

1...

2...

- Can you see anything in my mouth?

- No!

Now I'll put this ball in my mouth.

Watch closely!

Now... 1... 2... and...

Here's your share.

- I deserve at least 500 Rupees.

- We'll adjust it next time.

How much did you lose?

Look how late it is!

Do you hear me?

Turned mute, have you?

Where were you?

Having fun.

Are you hereto work or have fun?

I'm having fun with my own money!

Why is your ass on re?

Shut up!

Those other orphan kids

have ruined you.

Show some respect!

You will not go anywhere

during a competition.

Acting like the king of Banaras!

Throwing money down the drain!

I'll tell Devi!

Do what you want.

Sit your butt here!

Don't you dare move.

Sit down!

Such arrogance!

From now on,

I want all your winnings.
