Only ten minutes more, to welcome the new year.

The entire world is celebrating right now.

Singing, dancing and celebration..

Everyone around the world, irrespective of caste or religion

Children, as you all know, we are now at the doorsteps of a new year.

And everybody is busy celebrating.

But let me ask you something.

When the whole world is suffering

due to war, poverty, murders and crime

do we have the right to celebrate or enjoy ourselves?

No! I say, no!

Let us be a part of their sorrows.

Let's close our eyes and pray for world peace.

Let us welcome the new year with a prayer.

I said, let us pray.

Oh, Lord Almighty! - Oh, Lord Almighty!

That art in heaven above. - That art in heaven above.

Bless this, our institution.. - Bless this, our institution.

...with your eternal love. - With your eternal love.

Bless all who went before us.. - Bless all who went before us.

...and those that are to come. - And those that are to come.

Those that are less fortunate.. - Those that are less fortunate.

...those that lived in ignorance and sin.

Those that lived in ignorance and sin.

May we learn to forgive. - May we learn to forgive.

And may we do our duties with pride.

And may we do our duties with pride.

And may we always be humble. - And may we always be humble.

And seek thy eternal grace.

And seek thy eternal grace. - Oh, Lord Almighty!

Oh, Lord Almighty! - Thou art in heaven above.

Hurry up! Only three minutes left!

He found the perfect time to pray for world peace!

Why were you lingering? I wanted to slap you.

Let it go, Sarah. - I was afraid of getting caught.

No, don't go that way! Sivan, the guard, might be there.

Let's go this way, and take the secret path. - Okay.

Jump over the fence! - Okay.

Come on! Quick! - I'm scared.

It's easy, just run and jump! - I'll take the other route.

We have only two minutes left!

It's easy. The fence isn't high. - Listen to us. Come on!

Come on, Sree. We're running out of time!

Good! - Great! Come. - Thank you.

Where is it? - It's behind those shrubs.

You guys go ahead and start, I'll get it.

Hurry up! Only one minute left!

Shall we start? - Yes.

So?

She'll be with us, in this school

from this new year's eve onwards

as our group's fourth member.

Didn't you say you'd give her a name? - Venus!

Why this name? - Venus! Goddess of Love!

Venus! The Goddess of Love.

Wow! It's beautiful!

Even after we're gone, she will always be here.

She'll grow to a big tree and stand tall as a symbol of our friendship

as a symbol of our love..

That's enough. We have only ten seconds. - Okay, come on.

Hurrah!

"As we all know."

"As we all know."

"You shower your love."

"God, you are beautiful."

"You told me you will be there for me."

"I feel alive because I do believe."

"I see you smile down on me."

"To love."

"To learn."

"To live."

"You taught us how to love."

"You taught us how to live."

"God, you know that it is true."

"All I believe is in you."

"We are flying high, Lord's Academy."

"To love."

"To learn."

"To live."

"Lord's Academy."

"Shine upon that star."

"You shower your bliss. "

Is it juice? - Give that to me. Let me go.

I won't finish it, don't worry. I'll give it to you.

The rule is to water it from all sides.

I have an exam today.

Stop complaining. I too have an exam.

Let the bell ring. Only then will they start the exam.

The bell rang long back.

What? When? You devil!

Why didn't you tell me?

If you tell the teacher, I will kill you. - No! I won't.

Excuse me, ma'am.

I wonder what today's excuse is.

Silence!

Get this signed by the principal and then come back.

It says that I won't let you in the class

because you're always late.

If he signs on the note, I'll let you in.

Ma'am, I'm sorry.

I could've excused you, if this had been the first time.

I would even have let it go if it was the second or third time.

But you've crossed all the limits. Either you find my classes boring

or you don't understand what I teach.

If you have any such complaints

you may tell that to the principal.

Ma'am, please. I won't repeat this.

I assure you.

Please take this. - Please, excuse me for one last time.

Sarah, there is an exam going on here.

Don't disturb them. Do as I say.

I said, take this and leave the class!

Ma'am, my mom called this morning

from Mumbai. It's only after she hung up that I saw the time.

I didn't ask you for a reason. Explain this to the principal.

Ma'am, my mom and dad got divorced this morning.

Mom called me because she was depressed.

I had to console her before I hung up.

I'm sorry, ma'am.

Okay. But don't repeat this.

No, ma'am. Thank you, ma'am.

You shouldn't have lied to her.

I didn't lie at all.

I told her that my mom and dad got divorced. Isn't it true?

Yes, but that happened some eight months ago.

But I could use it to my advantage only now.

Is it a joke to play with? - What else could I have done?

Didn't you notice Ms. Susan's mood at that point of time?

Nothing else would've stopped her

from sending me to the principal with the letter.

He would've suspended me

for at least five days.

Why don't you come to the class on time?

You get into problems only because you reach late everywhere.

But it's not my fault. I've had this since childhood.

What? - Yes.

Haven't I told you about it? - No.

It's hereditary. My grandpa had it and now, me. - What?

It's a disease that affects one in thirty million people.

'Latecominglameia'. - What?
