Rough Book

What should we expect from ourselves?

I mean what marks would be good enough.

Are you saying that..

If I succeed in scoring high marks..

I'll be successful in life as well?

I rack my brains all year, 24/7.

But it only stops working in the examination hall.

Frankly, I am still confused about

what education really means.

Even cell phones are smarter than us.

I often think we learn from our mistakes

when it comes to teaching.

Only after we fail, do we address the real issue.

I have a strange feeling

but, I've already embarked on this journey.

To celebrate failure.

What's to study about physics?

Physics is all around us.

What did you observe?

Yeah!

Ma'am, as you hit the lower chord

the sound got sharper. - Right.

What else?

About position of fingers?

Yeah. - As the hands came closer, the sound got sharper.

Exactly.

How does a vacuum cleaner function?

The air inside the vacuum cleaner is zero.

Now watch.

So the matchstick created a vacuum

and sucked the dirt inside.

So make a list.

What things around us are physics?

Because physics is.. - Life!

You're lucky.

Once class is over, you can head home.

It was your decision to teach at coaching classes?

Honestly speaking, the pay's much better.

Let's face it.

Not everyone's husband is

the Assistant Commissioner of Income Tax.

That wasn't a joke.

No.

As a kid, I asked my mother

whether I can join tuition too.

You know what she replied?

Don't your teachers at school teach you properly?

You're trying to say we aren't capable.

No.

But a good teacher can make a weak student good

and a good student, superior.

And these coaching classes

will shut shop tomorrow.

Then, you can go home too.

Please close the door.

Please close the door.

Please close the door.

What are you doing? You'll hurt yourself.

No, I won't. It's at zero speed.

I have a demo in class tomorrow.

Conversion of gravitational, potential energy

into kinetic energy.

It will stop at the same height I released it.

Physics works. - That it does.

You turned our hall in a physic lab.

Let's go in the kitchen.

But, aren't we going out?

There's nothing in there.

It's 11 PM.

If I take you to a 5 star, you'll be furious.

How about Tony's Dhaba?

What if we mix things up?

Dessert first.

Happy birthday to you.

Happy birthday to you.

Happy birthday dear wifey.

Remembering my birthday doesn't mean you love me.

Rest of the 364 days..

Cake's nice.

"Gone are the days.."

Couldn't you find something more down-market than this

to celebrate your birthday?

Come on, it's such a beautiful place.

Look at the mountains and you'll get fresh food.

Organic vegetables.

You could've taken us to some 5-star hotel.

I am sure Pradeep can afford that.

I am paying. Take it or leave it.

Santoshi, Khurshid.

If you start again, I'm leaving.

Continue, continue. Good riddance. She'll leave. - What?

Organic food has arrived.

Very good. - Stop it.

Keep it here.

By the way, why didn't Pradeep come?

He must be busy scraping the icing.

Shut up.

Look, this is organic.

Green chilies.

So tell me. Is the news true?

Pradeep seized 100 million cash from Ramanbhai Jewelers?

Vina, you know what?

He's a no nonsense guy.

When he conducts a raid, the expression

on the faces of builders, industrialist and actors

are worth watching.

When can we see him?

Mr. Singh.

We have evidence about your involvement

in giving tax evasion waivers to three corporate heads.

Is that right?

My lawyer will get in touch with you.

Ma'am, please sign.

The money was stashed behind your books

and you didn't have a clue.

Sign it.

Vina. - Thanks.

Hello.

Well, hello.

Yes, he's right here. Your mom.

Hello. Yes, mom.

How are things at village?

Yeah.

Yes.

Yes, we're all together.

We..

Mom, can you call another time?

Yes, goodbye.

Right behind my books.

How could he do that?

How will I face the students, Mr. Valecha?

If I talk about values, education

I'll sound false.

Santoshi, you're being too idealistic.

People have a short memory.

They will forget everything.

But how can I forget?

Hi.

Sorry, I was really hungry.

Your food has arrived as well.

Freshen up quickly, it's getting cold.

Please close the door.

You know, this is common in every department.

Inter-department rivalry.

Just some jealous colleagues' doing.

We call it 'revenge operation'.

Anyway, everything's settled now.

Let's just forget about it.

You're overreacting.

There it comes down!

That's the one!

Catch it!

Hey, don't do that.

Be seated. Your mother will be back soon from fieldwork.

Okay.

Honestly.

The day you were brought here

that was the first time we went to watch a film.

'Jai Santoshi Maa'.

So we called you Santoshi.

When you were a kid, you were scared of the dark.

And you would sit with me in the dark.

To get rid of my fear.

You taught me to face my fear.

Did you?

It's so beautiful.

A firefly only lives for a few days.

But that doesn't stop them from illuminating every night.

You're angry with me?

With myself.

I failed you as a teacher.

I couldn't teach you to lose.

Lie down.

It was just gas.

Okay.

These people know the medicinal properties

of trees and plants, better than any medical student.

And we call them uneducated.

They know about the tsunami before the observatory does.

And they also live longer.

Make an effort.

One hundred percent.

And even if you fail, we'll still celebrate.

Look, I don't have to tell you this.

We got ten candidates vying for a post here.

I understand that, Mr. Valecha, I..

Let me see. I think we need a Physics teacher

in our sector six branch.

I'll enquire, but I don't promise.

Thank you so much, sir.

You know, you can stay here as long as you like.

Aunt Saryu is in LA.

She isn't coming back for another 3-4 years.

I don't understand this civil court logic.

When the husband-wife don't want to stay together

what's the point of six-month marriage counseling?

Here.

Thanks.

He says, we're in the digital age.

Don't be so sentimental about your books.
