Sorry about that. Charu, why didn't you look...

and then throw the banana? It struck him.

You're not hurt, are you? - Not at all.

Had he been hit hard... the banana would've been squashed!

Hey, she's here.

Just a minute. - What is it?

This belongs to one of the kids that were playing here.

Kids? - Yes, from your college.

There are no kids here. - Anyway...

this belongs to one of them, so please return it.

No need.

Thank you. Can you tell me where's the Principal's room?

There'll be a peon there, ask him. - Thank you.

For 25 years now, our college is making excellent progress.

And this year, one of our girls has become an l.A.S. officer!

What more can I say? Your father was one of the founder members.

This is our new lecturer. In place of Mr. Chowdhary.

Don't know who he was. Musfve come to see somebody.

The banana hit him directly. Charu's great! Plays with us...

and thinks of somebody else! - I was there, remember?

That man approached us with the banana and said...

He's the same Banana-Boy!

This is our new lecturer, Swami Kamal Babu.

From today he'll take your Sanskrit classes.

He's from the Benaras University, and I hope, you will take advantage.

These are our first year students, and this happens to be your period.

Okay, I'll take the class now. - Good, I'll go now then.

Without saying anything about myself, I'll come straight to the textbooks.

You have some chapters on "Kumar Sambhavam" in your course.

It's written by Kalidas and now I'll say a few words about him.

What do you say? - Yes, Sir.

You all must have some know-how about love.

We haven't really studied it. - It's to be experienced, not studied.

Everyone experiences it in life. You will too, in the near future.

When a longing for it is born

And when it does strike it strikes like lightning!

The past is erased. A new feeling, a new experience, a new life begins.

Kalidas has described it beautifully. I'll read it out to you.

See what he says about a woman in love.

Look how he puts it. Listen...

ls the period over? - Yes, Sir.

He certainly is smart! On the very first day, he spoke on love!

Why? Isn't your sister's hubby the most interesting man?

If he was like this sir, my sister would be the happiest girl on earth!

I've got to take class.

We weren't introduced properly. I'm also an M.A. from your university.

Which year were you there? - Here.

My father wanted me to do l.A.S., but it didn't happen.

Since I was keen on teaching, he asked me to join this college.

We have a house here, and he was on the managing committee.

Are you very adamant? - No, not really. But yes...

what I take in hand, I tend to finish.

Who else is there at home? - Nobody here, but I'll keep a servant.

Then you must be married. - No.

I'll get you a servant then.

That Chemistry teacher... What's her name?

Renu; I'll get you a servant tomorrow. I'll fix the pay and all.

Renu... what? - Renu

I meant, what's her surname? - Mukherji.

Be careful with servants. They can be trouble.

QKQV

How long have you been here? - Why?

No... I just asked. Better if you send the servant in the morning.

I may not be at home in the evening.

Renu's very strict. She doesn't let anyone get too near her.

Send a servant who can do all the work, and cook too.

And yes, a plus point. If he's a non-smoker.

OKHY-

Renu's a courageous girl, although a bit proud.

She lives all alone.

She's the warden of the girls‘ hostel.

She handles everything.

For that tough exterior, she seems very much like you.

Sir, the Principal has sent for you. - Okay.

In Chemistry we go to the root of everything first.

Today we've reached the moon, but before that, we must know...

what are its properties, what gasses are found in...

Why are you looking here and there? - Nothing, Miss.

Nowadays you're not yourself. Did you revise yesterday's lessons?

I asked the properties of CO2, not Sulphur-dioxide.

Please repeat that, Sir.

This delicate body of yours... This playful youth...

is meditation's undoing. In your life...

What are you all listening to?

What are the properties of Sulphur Dioxide?

You mean CO2, Madam?

Yes. Tell me the properties of CO2.

Seeing the beautiful lips of Parvati, Lord Shiva became restless.

Finally, as fruit for her penance, Parvati marries Lord Shiva.

Come, let's join the Sanskrit class. - Yes.

What's all this fun and dance in aid of?

Stand straight first. - We were just having fun.

If you want fun, go to the college, to the street, anywhere you like.

But not when you're staying in my rooms, understand?

is a hostel, not a stage! I hate such behavior.

And look at your sari! Wear it properly.

What are you signaling for? Can't I see?

I don't like this signaling! And who's hiding over there?

Come out! I want my girls to be decent and polite.

If you want to make noise, do it elsewhere, not here!

Now go to your own rooms. And Preeti...

I want to see your room tidy, within 15 minutes.

Where did she come from?

Don't know. She had gone out just now.

He must've met our new lecturer on the way.

You girls better leave. I've to tidy my room.

See you in college.

Shameless!

I see you when I close my eyes. I see you when I open them"

"Your face, eyes, and smile... I just can't forget"

"l can't sleep. I toss and turn, and hide my face in my pillow"

"l imagine it to be your wide chest where I can rest my head always"

"The pillow is your wide chest..."

Shameless! You wrap yourself...

around a pillow thinking it to be somebody else?

ls this what you learn? You got 4 out of 1O in chemistry.

You don't know what is CO2. I toss and turn at night, indeed!

Aren't you ready? - But we're going at 6 O‘ Clock.

- It's 5:30 p.m now. - Okay, I'll get ready.

What do you think of that new Sanskrit lecturer?

OKHY-

He'll hang around for a year, then go away on his own.

Nothing new to us. - He's spoiling all the girls.

Our girls... they're so young... - Get ready, will you?

He can't spoil our girls. You'll see...

one day these very girls will clean bowl him!

You don't understand. - He's teaching them all wrong things.

Let him teach. Who's stopping him? But "A wide, gentle chest...".

What do you mean? - See this. A lover letter.

Give me this letter. He's away. I'll write such a letter to him.

Who's he? - My beloved. My dear husband.

Keep it right there. - Here you are.

On the table, I won't even touch such dirty things.

I'll show it to the Principal. - What for? She's a widow.

Where did you get it? - In one of my student's book.

What's the matter? - Nothing.

I was just studying some notes.

Listen. I've seen your exercise book. I know what you're studying.

In your notebook... - Quiet please.

If you don't concentrate, you won't enjoy this.

Okay, Sir. Tell us. - Lord Shiva and Parvati are married.

Today is their Wedding Night. Parvati stood aside... blushing.

And then...

This means... What is it, Charu? - There, at the door.

Yes? What can I do for you?

If you class makes so much noise, how can I teach?

In Sanskrit, pronunciation is very important...

And when one is teaching Kalidas... - You should consider other classes"

where other important subjects are being taught. Not your Kalidas!

My Kalidas? Kalidas belongs to everybody. Even you.

Which important subject are you teaching?

Chemistry. Okay, go and teach at leisure. I'll keep the girls quiet.

So, where was l? - At Shiva and Parvati's honeymoon.

Softly. Else she'll be back again complaining. What's her name?

What kind of a name is that?

We call her CO2. - Why?

Because she scares us!

Like some chemistry properties. - No. You shouldn't say that.

You should refer to her by her name.

And we call you "Jijaji". meaning "brother-in-law".

Actually, brother-in-law is a sweet relation in life.

There's a character in our novel... what's the name?

No, why CO2? She's not like our Chemistry lecturer at all!

In fact our Chemistry lecturer is more like Shakuntala.

Shakuntala!

If you're happy, then our Kalidas... - What are you teaching?

We don't understand Science. - What do you teach?

Sanskrit. Books written by Kalidas. - Has he penned odes on CO2?

I'm sorry. My students are a bit naughty. I'll talk to them.

You will, eh? The way you talk to them, is in fact, spoiling them.

Who is this tea for?

For the gentleman. - ls this teatime?

Who asked you to make it? - Mridula did.

She said, whenever he comes, make tea for him.

ls she the warden here, or l?

What about my permission? We make tea just twice a day.

What's the matter? - Shall I take the tea back?

No, give it to him. - Come on in. Even sir is here.

Share some tea with me. - I don't want it.

Come on. Have some today. - No! But you, and here?

Actually I was coming to you. The girls forced me to have tea.

Coming to me? But I hadn't called you.

Okay, I was coming on my own. Now, have some tea.

I said I won't drink it. But you, in this girls‘ hostel...

He comes to teach Sanskrit. - Twice a week to teach "Romance".

Without my permission.

The Principal suggested it. For extra-tuitiofls.

That's all very well, but I'm the warden here.

That's why I was coming to see you. - No need!

I'll talk to the Principal myself.

I hear he teaches well. All the girls praise him.

Teaching Chemistry is affecting you. Don't take everything so seriously.

Don't lecture me! Do something about it, Madam.

I don't understand what you're complaining about.

Do you really know what he teaches? - Sanskrit.

My foot! If this is Sanskrit, it shouldn't be taught in colleges!

Change the curriculum for her! - Okay, I'll talk to Kamal Babu.

Come, sir. Where were you? - Why, what happened?

The Principal wants to see you.

What for? - You'll find out soon.
