And that bank manager.

He's at the peak of all peaks!

Poor people.

This can't be fixed in one meeting.

I'm tired.

And hungry!

Food is here.

-My dear! You brought it yourself?

Akhil

What do you think about Bill Gates?

Bill Gates?

He's the richest man in the world.

Ten times richer than Ambani.

If we had that much money,

I think we'd go mad.

Michael Jackson?

Oh, I'm a huge fan of his!

When I was in school,

I had his posters all over my walls.

So graceful! So stylish!

When his songs come on T.V,

I'd never switch channels.

Do you like Lord Krishna?

Come on.

How could one not like Lord Krishna?

I still love to watch the T.V show on him.

Right from Krishna

Bill Gates, Michael Jackson, Tom Cruise,

Jim Carrey, Albert Einstein

And several geniuses from our country...

Have all been hyperactive children.

That very special personality trait

that these people possessed

Your son possesses it.

What do you mean?

Yes, I'm serious.

To believe what I'm saying,

you must remove your glasses first.

Not the glasses you're wearing!

I meant the tinted glasses with which

you view your children.

You can wear these.

Okay

What your child has,

is not an illness or a disease.

It's a part of her personality.

She's not a special kid.

She's a super kid!

It's called ADHD.

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.

So he can't lead

a normal life, like other kids?

Just because they stand out in the crowd,

don't think they are abnormal.

They can be extraordinary, outstanding.

They don't stand out.

They stand apart.

They don't take the paths laid for them;

They wish to make their own.

That's all right.

But we can't just let kids go astray.

Academics is important, too.

If they don't study well,

how will they get into Ivy League schools?

Ivy League schools are great.

I'm not telling you not to have goals.

But we needn't make them achieve

what we failed to.

She's not just hyperactive.

She's hyperactive and highly intelligent.

In fact, she'll always be two steps ahead of us.

They even make mistakes brilliantly.

She's a gifted child.

All said and done, when she

doesn't score well

We end up having to bow our heads

at the school.

We chose to stand in the queues

to enroll our children there.

So we're the ones who must

bow our heads, too.

I'm just kidding.

Many schools don't teach lessons.

They only train them to write exams.

Please, let's get out of that rat race.

Let's not plant grades in their heads.

Let's plant good thoughts.

When will he get better?

It will get better with time.

Your clinic looks like a school!

Really? Thank you.

Will Naina get admitted into the school

that your kids go to?

Actually, my wife works for the school.

I'll try talking to her.

Hello.

Doctor Uncle is busy.

It's okay.

-Naina!

Thank you, Naina.

Hi, Kavin. Hi, Naina!

Welcome!

You may leave. I'll take it from here.

You said this won't be like other schools.

But you're punishing them

with sit-ups here, too?

That's not a punishment.

It's called super brain yoga.

It's a small exercise that helps kids

be active and concentrate.

Don't worry. I'll take care.

Bye!

Hey, kids.

You've got new friends today.

You may sit there.

Okay, children.

Five...

Four...

Three...

Two...

One.

Ready!

Are they crazy?

-I think so, yes.

Naina, why aren't you laughing?

Why should I laugh like I'm crazy?

When you laugh really hard,

your muscles relax

And you loosen up.

We can all relax and pay attention to class.

Students in foreign countries follow this.

-Superb!

So to conclude

Teachers...

And doctors like me...

Should continue to talk

and give the right advice.

I'm sure it'd be very interesting.

Go ahead.

Kids are the seeds.

Parents are the gardeners.

Our family is the soil that holds the seed.

Teachers are the sunlight.

Their friends are the water.

You could say that therapists and doctors

are like agriculture officers.

More than any doctor's therapy,

family therapy is the best.

Only parents who play with their children

can control ADHD.

When I say parents,

I mean both the parents.

Dads also, alright?

See?

But mothers are the best therapists.

"Dum Dum- That sound Dum Dum;

Dum Dum- Beats our little hearts."

"Can't you hear the music?"

"Mischief is a part of a child's joy!

Children shouldn't be still like a toy."

"Don't you worry about your future;

We're children of the nature."

"Hopping from branch to branch;

We sure are a happy bunch!"

"Dum Dum- That sound Dum Dum;

Dum Dum- Beats our little hearts."

"Can't you hear the music?"

My friend told me ADHD can never be cured.

Doctors just continue treatments

to make money.

You may have doubts in life.

But you should never doubt life.

Disgusting.

Thanks, Mom. Thanks, Dad.

You can buy pencils or chocolates

from The Honesty Shop even without money

Like Kavin and Naina did,

you can take it and pay for it tomorrow.

Okay?

-Okay, Ma'am.

"Back in my mother's womb,

I was allowed to shake a limb."

"Having been born in this world,

Why is it that we must hold still?"

"Can a soul that doesn't travel,

Ever find it's home?"

"Wander

Wander where your heart takes you."

"And when you seek

Many skies to fly"

"I will come for you, child!

And be your wings..."

I'm sure they can cook better than you.

You can own a phone,

but don't let the phone own you.

Okay?

I'm done!

Wow!

Thank you.

"By growing this school of fish,

In small bowls made of glass."

"We're denying them the chance,

To swim across mighty oceans."

"Fly,

Fly like the pretty kite."

"Be free,

No strings holding you back."

"You are just like a morning blossom, my dear.

No one shall pluck you while I'm still here."

"Dum Dum- That sound Dum Dum;

Dum Dum- Beats our little hearts."

Is everyone sitting

in their favourite seats?

Yes, Ma'am!

Oh, it's Talentina 2014.

Anyone interested in participating

in Talentina Interschool competition

Must come forward

and give me their names.

I won't compel anyone.

Who wants to participate?

Me!

I'll tell a story!

I'll dance!

How will telling stories help her future?

Dance and music, too.

Won't get them anywhere, right?

Don't take Kavin's interest

in music and dance so lightly.

Think Maestro Ilayaraja or A.R Rahman?

Didn't the author of Harry Potter books,

J.K Rowling, make millions writing fiction?

Even our writers J.Krishnamoorthy, Sujatha

and Chetan Bhagat make fine examples.

So don't think her storytelling is useless

for Naina's future.

Rather than thinking their talents are a waste,

we must enjoy their antics.

What do you want Kavin to be?

Just not like his father.

Done with your spot painting?

Wow, Abhiman!

-Excellent!

Come here. Superb!

-Superb.

Both your kids are so smart.

I am envious.

What's your technique?

When I was pregnant,

we did something good.

It was about three months

into our marriage.

What's the matter?

You wanted to talk?

A surprise?

Okay, fine.

Thank you!

Is it a watch?

You're going to be a father.
