he catches sight of me..

.. he will not let me go.

Why do you talk like that?

He is an elderly person.

He is killing me with stuff about

propitiating the stars etc

He gives advice only

for our benefit.

That is true. But l don't

have the time.

Hello, Nanda Gopal. l have

something important to say to you.

Are you about to go to office?

Uncle, what is Auntie doing?

- She's making some eatables.

Out of what?

- The clay coloured pumpkin.

But the pumpkins in your backyard

are not yet ripe.

The pumpkins are not

from our backyard.

They are from my nephew's place.

l think his wife cooks really

well. Doesn't she?

Yes. She cooks brinjal with

all the spices really well.

And it is very tasty to eat it

with hot rice. Hey, Gopal!!

He just escaped like quicksilver.

He is in a real hurry. Their

chairperson is making a visit today.

He needs to buy a bouquet

etc. on the way.

All these things are unnecessary.

lf the couple..

.. performs a few rites,

it is sufficient.

She left a long while ago.

Why don't you come inside ..

.. and help me with the chores?

l'm not wasting time. Because

Gopal is close to us..

.. l am advising him. What

is the use of bouquets etc.?

What is the use if the planets are

not favorable? - Location: office

Good morning.

Madam is going to arrive

in five minutes.

l will be the first to garland

her when she comes.

Ladies are not garlanded. lt should

be given in their hands.

lt is okay since he is of

her grandfather's age.

Who was that? What do we know

about Hindu traditions?

lt is customary to welcome

guests with a garland.

Why don't you welcome her

with 'Tilak' and 'Aarti'?

One should not garland ladies.

lt's okay. You're like

my grandfather.

Thank you.

So beautiful.

- Salutations Madam!

Please come. Let's have tea.

Madam!

l will tell you a joke. A farmer

was upset that he did..

..not get a good crop. A friend

asked him the reason for it.

The farmer said that he did not

know which fertilizer to use.

The friend advised him to taste

different fertilizers and..

.. use that fertilizer

which tasted the best!

Where is the company's accountant?

What for?

- l have a meeting with lDBl.

l am there to assist you.

You must be able to quickly

recall all the statements.

Yes, l can do that very well.

Do you know how to operate

the computer?

You don't know it, right?

Call the accountant.

Nanda Gopal! Madam is calling you.

Bablu, are you hungry?

Madam! l want you

to see this file..

One second. Hello, Mr. Mehra.

Right now, l'm in Hyderabad.

Your papers are ready. We will

meet when l come to Bombay. Bye.

Madam, l have a file..

We need to purchase some

furnishings for the guesthouse..

.. where can we get them?

l know the place. l will

take you there.

Go to Abids.

Nanda Gopal where is the

packet l gave you?

Here it is.

Open it.

Ok. He is Mr. J.P. The great J.P.

The one and only J.P.

l am a great fan of his.

ls that so? Choose a nice

location and have it put up.

What if we put it up there?

Maybe, it will be a bit too high.

Have it put up there.

A really good place.

Do you know one thing?

l have read the book 'Business

and Social dynamics'..

..written by your father, 10 times.

What a book! lt is like..

..the 'Bhagavad Gita' of business.

lt is like a guide to every..

.. upcoming businessman. The

funny part is, l also wrote a..

..a thesis, even before reading

that book. l too touched upon..

.. the same topics as your

father did in his book.

Of course, l did not present it

as well as Mr. J.P., but everyone..

.. who read the theses appreciated

it. l sent a copy to your father.

lt seems the copy did not reach

him. So l want you to read..

.. my thesis and express

your opinion about it.

Whenever you are free, if you can..

All the figures are okay, Narain

One more thing, Madam, lndigo

software is also..

.. planning an lPO.

l know how to play

the game with them.

l am the master of the game.

But they are insisting that the

meeting should take place..

.. even in your absence!

Look, Nanda Gopal! Writing

a thesis is one thing..

.. and doing business is quite

another. There are many people..

.. who wrote very popular

books on business.

.. such a good business sense,

then why didn't you..

.. start your own business?

l tried that. But l was

cheated by my partner.

There are always cheaters

around us. The first point..

.. in business is,

never get cheated.

l learnt that lesson. But since

l have a family to take care of..

.. l am doing this job. Of course,

it is not a job..

.. worthy of my talent.

Madam, shall l serve you dinner?

- No, later.

You missed out on a point

written by my father.

Good businessmen create

opportunities. They do not..

.. request for opportunities like

this. Anyway, l will be here..

.. for two more days. lmpress

me with your dynamism.

Prove your uniqueness to me.

See you later. Good night.

Good night Madam.

Can you give me 500 rupees?

- Why?

l have been doing your work

since evening.

Do you mean 'service charge'? Am l

not paying you salary at the office?

That is only for the 9 to 5 job.

5 to 8 is my private time.

l am dynamic not only in theory

but also in practice.

Very smart.

l don't think that you

did the right thing..

..by asking her for money instead

of just giving her the file.

We don't need any money urgently.

l did not take the money

because we need it.

l employed a strategy called the

reverse strategy. lf we act..

.. the same way as others do,

than what is our specialty?

So, to make her notice me, l

do some things differently.

Yes. That is why you got an

idea which no one else had..

.. and took the bouquet

in the morning.

That is right, but it is not

sufficient. l have to do..

.. many more such things. You

did not understand, right?

The story goes that our proprietor

Mr.Jagdish Prasad..

.. joined a small company before

he became very rich. He drew..

..a salary of 200 rupees per month.

One day his boss made him..

.. do extra work, all through the

night. He finished all the work..

.. and asked the boss for overtime

pay. At this, the boss..

.. got thrilled by his practical

sense and offered him..

..both a promotion and a partnership.

Just between us..

.. l remembered that incident

today evening and copied it.

So you acted like her father,

and reminded her of him.

You guessed correctly. Now

she will compare me with him..

.. and get impressed. How

is my reverse strategy?

Very good. But will she not

think that you copied..

.. her father's idea,

just to impress her?

You fool! How will she know

that l know of that incident?

You are not as innocent

as you look!

What have you seen? The

real game will begin now.

ls this the promotion?

No. These are alms. What

a great person you are?

You could not even contain yourself

for a single day! You must have..

.. played some prank with her

and she fired you. You were..

.. saying that you would get
