Hi Sapna...

Hi Rupal!

HeIlo heIlo!

Mrs. GodboIe right?

Pleasure to meet you

How's Mr. Godbole?

Fine...very fine

So...Sapna...

As l had discussed with Mr. Godbole at the last PTA...

Sapna's performance continues to be exceIlent...

Sir...sorry... father...

my EngIish not good

If you don't mind...

...can we taIk in Hindi?

Of course Mrs. GodboIe...

Hindi is our nationaI Language...

we should alI speak in it...

but...my Hindi not very good...

is that okay?

No problem!

I am from Kottayam district you see...

Kottayam... that's in KeraIa right?

It's famous for its banana wafers right?

Do you like them?

Very much!

Next time I go l...

I'Il bring back a big packet of chips for you

Is she doing welI in her studies?

Of course...

she is one of the top 5 students of our class

She could rank first...

if she showed more interest in Physics

But is her EngIish good?

Her English is excelIent

Mrs. GodboIe... she is one of our brightest students

But is she respectfuI?

Does everyone Iike her?

Sapna...you haven't toId your mum about your fan club?

Bu Mrs. Godbole, I wanted to taIk to you about...

Sapna has been chosen...

Sapna has 'choosen' for the school...

He didn't seem to mind at alI...

he made me feeI so comfortabIe...

by talking in Hindi

And you made him feel so uncomfortable...

...by taIking in Hindi

"ls Sapna a good girI...

does everyone Iove her"...

And why joke about Cafe Coffee Day...

Dad shouId have been there...

and you were talking in Hindi...

even to RupaI's mother

Each time I had to answer for you

What happened?

Failed her exams?

I'm the one who's failed

Meaning?

I have embarrassed her today

AlI teenagers feel their mom and dad are an embarrassment

Not mom and dad...

just mom

Why are you so upset?

TeIl me...

why did you marry me?

What can l say... one Iook at you and I was hooked!

Isn't there any water?

Why didn't you marry a modern woman?

If l gave it so much thought why would I get married at aIl...

It's a joke Shashi... come on...

What's come over you?

No matter how hard l try...

I just can't seem to pIease anyone

Sapna's just a chiId

And you?

HeIlo...

My heart...

My heart trembIes...quivers

I am afraid

O my dear... my heart doesn't beat without you

My heart...it feels a twitch

How do l go to a foreign land?

Do you embrace alI your colIeagues so fondly?

It was a hug Shashi

Are the two of you very close?

That's just a way of saying heIlo...

it doesn't mean we are cIose

Everybody hugs... it's normaI!

We are cIose right...

maybe that's why we never hug!

Sometimes my heart beats faster

My left eye flickers

WiIl you forget me... I wonder

I know you through and through

I know you more than you

WiIl your eye wander... I wonder

So ma'am...what do you do?

Like you are managing in our country without knowing Hindi!

These nights these days

Your words and ways

I wiIl miss them so...

Your sIights and spite

The way you hoId me tight

Makes me pine for more...

Why don't you stop me?

O don't Iet me go!

I worry...I'm wary... I think of you...

Mama come fast... it's late!

My heart...

My heart trembIes...quivers

I am afraid

Mom...

To my darling daughter Meera and my dear son Kevin...

How I wish AniI was here

When Meera was going through her troubled teens...

she was 14...

she was onIy 14 years old...

when she came in fuming and asked us...

'Why did you give birth to me?'

She was so angry with Iife...

that she was furious that we gave birth to her

without asking for her permission!

I wiIl answer that today Meera

You were born...

so your dad and I could share compIete happiness

"You were born so you could bring happiness into our lives..."

I am so sorry I didn't take your permission

Love you both sweethearts!

God bless both of you always

Son... you just got Iucky!

But fortune smiles on those who embrace it's offerings...

so... Iove each other

And son...

Ieave me and your mother aIone!

It's time for us to focus on each other

Shashi Aunty...your turn

Yes... come on

Aunty

Sorry... my wife's EngIish is...

Meera...

beautifuI thing

It is the most

speciaI friendship...

friendship of two peopIe

who are equaI

Life is a Iong journey

Meera, sometimes you wilI feel

feel you are less than Meera

Try to help each other

It wilI be nice

Sometimes...

married coupIe don't even know

how the other is feeIing

So... how they wilI heIp the other?

It means marriage is finished?

That is the time

you have to heIp yourself

Nobody can help you better than you

If you do that...

FamiIy is the onIy pIace

WeIl Shashi...

and you missed a few 'a's and 'the's...

else you passed with distinction!

Shashi aunty you were amazing!

David Sir... ladoo!

Thank you... I have some thing for you!

When you don't like yourseIf...

you tend to dislike everything connected to you

New things seem to be more attractive

When you learn to Iove yourself...

then the same old Iife...

starts looking new...

starts looking nice

Thank you...

how to love myseIf!

Thank you for making me...

feel good about myseIf

Shashi...

Do you...

stilI Iove me?

If l didn't...

why would I give you two ladoos?

And...

good choice!

Her eyes... they speak

They tease... they sneak

into the worId of dreams

AlI bright and gold and green!

Here goes the shy blushing bride

She sways to her beloved's charms

Magic in her dark kohl eyes
