Gippi

Gippi!

Yeah!

Oh Gippi!

Yes, Mummy! What is it?

Listen!

Ugh!

What? - Anchal's on the phone!

Oh...

You never listen to me! Here!

Hello Anchal? Hold on for a second.

Mummy! Hang up the phone!

Booboo! Stop listening to my calls! Hang up!

Ok now, what's up?

Gippi, I think they're getting bigger!

Oh no! Yours were already so big!

I know, but they're poking out of my school uniform. What do I do?

How would I know? Mine are still like little samosas.

Can't you think of something? Please!

Make two braids and leave them hanging in front. They'll get hidden.

Oh, good idea!

Ok, have to go get ready now. See you at school. Bye!

Good morning boys and girls!

Good morning, Sister!

Welcome back to school. I hope you had a splendid summer...

Because now, it's time for classes, tests and homework!

Ouch!

I hate the first day of school.

I know, it sucks to wake up so early.

Not just that, I hate how everyone is always so excited.

Like they were dying to be back.

And they act like they missed each other soooo much!

Hey Tina! How are you?!

And they suck up to the teachers as if their cheesy smiles can wipe out...

...everything that happened last year.

Good morning, Mrs. Batra! - Good morning.

Ugh! These girls.

9th grade, huh? Ready?

I guess...

Oh my God, Mini! Did you check out the History book? Nehru was so cute!

Hot. - And the Biology book?!

What's so great about new textbooks?

Yeah... but that chapter on the reproductive system is pretty awesome.

It'll be so weird when they teach it in class! Can you imagine...

Hi Gurpreet! Hi Anchal. - Hi...

How was your summer? Isn't it great to be back?

No.

Oh. Yeah, I know. 9th grade is going to be tough, right?

No.

Uh... what else is up? How are your Mummy and Dad?

Listen, Ashish... - OH. MY. GOD. Who is that?!

Hi guys, meet my new friend, Kabir.

Who cares?

Hi guys! Isn't he so cute?

His name is Kabir and his family just moved next to Shamira.

Isn't she so lucky?

Extremely. - I know, right?!

Titli's right. Some people have all the luck.

Please! What's so lucky about being anorexic?

You're right, Gurpreet. Women should look like you.

Full-full, you know?

Go back to your seat, Ashish.

I shall not tolerate sloppiness, tardiness...

It is now time for us to read the New Testament.

Trigonometry and Calculus are highly advanced forms of Mathematics!

Impoliteness... Inattentiveness...

We shall learn about reproduction in this class.

And any kind of disorderliness.

This year, you guys get to do your own experiments.

One word in English, and you're out of the class!

Is that clear?

Are you Ok? - I'm good, thanks.

You sure? - Yeah, see? All good. Thanks.

Well, as I said, Chemistry is a dangerous subject!

Ay! Does your ass hurt, Gurpreet?

No, but thanks for your concern.

What are you doing?

Just looking for cracks where you fell. Oh look, there's one!

Don't look too closely, you might fall into it.

Whatever.

Why don't you go home and put some balm on your ass?

You'll definitely need more than one bottle!

Hi Didi! - Hi.

Eww, Booboo. You stink!

Please! I smell amazing! You're the stinky one.

No, you're the stinky one. - Whatever, you shower with shit.

You shower with snot.

You shower with pee. - You shower with vomit.

So go take a shower.

Look who's come!

Hi Mummy.

How was school? - Fine.

Mummy! 7th grade is so hard! And our teacher stinks!

And she didn't let me sit next to Rocky.

Now I have to sit next to some stupid girl.

Great, she can be your girlfriend!

Booboo is not interested in girls.

Yeah, he's too young, poor thing.

That's not what I meant.

Is that your daughter, Pappi?

Yes! - She's all grown up!

Yeah, she's even taller than her mother now.

Say hello, Gippi. - Hello.

She's even got hair on her arms now! Why don't you get them waxed?

Actually, I keep telling her but she doesn't listen.

At least get your eyebrows done today, Gippi.

I don't want to do anything. I'm going home.

Is this a new shade, Mummy?

Yes, dear.

Some people are so tacky!

I know! Orange shoes! - With red shoes! Disaster!

Oh, hi Didi. - Hello again.

You won't believe what this lady was...

Orange shoes and red polish. I heard.

Do you always have to be this grumpy?

Hello? Oh, hi Papa!

Papa!

I'm good, what's up? Booboo, let me talk!

Papa, Booboo has become a balloon!

Didi's become a buffalo! - Shut up.

How are you, Papa?

Oh... so soon?

What happened? - No, no, I'm very excited.

Yeah, I'll tell everyone. Love you, bye.

What's all the mystery about? What did Papa say?

He's getting engaged next weekend.

We're all invited to the party.

Party? Awesome! But I have nothing to wear! Let me go check.

Mummy...

You should definitely go.

I can't close the parlour on weekends or I would've come too.

Are you Ok? Papa suddenly...

Of course I'm Ok! I haven't seen him in 2 years.

Marry, have kids, grandkids. What do I care?

Should I make rajma for dinner today?

Yeah! I'm starving! Need any help? - No, go finish your homework.

Mummy?

Why aren't you in bed?

I didn't have icecream after dinner tonight, so I couldn't sleep.

Isn't it a bit late for icecream?

Not at all. You want some? Just a little bit?

Please?

Isn't it yummy?

You know... I'm really not interested in Papa's stupid party. I'm not going.

No, Gippi. You must go.

But why?

I want everyone there to look at you two and say,

"Look how well Pappi is bringing them up."

"They have everything they need."

I'll feel proud.

You're right, Mummy. We're not missing out on anything.

Actually, we're lucky that we just have to deal with one parent.

If I had two, I would've run away by now.

Run away then. Who's stopping you?

Let me finish my icecream first. - No, go right now.

No, no please.

Ok run away tomorrow then. Finish your icecream.

Jennifer isn't so bad. I think Papa will be happy with her.

So what's the problem? - Mummy!

I don't think she's still in love with Papa, but she must feel jealous.

Hmm.

He's really cute, isn't he?

Ew, he looks like a boy band singer! - Yeah, and he's a bit snobbish too.

No wonder he gets along with Shamira.

They're both the same.

Guys!

Can you believe we're going to have...

...Head Girl and Head Boy elections this year?!

How exciting.

Should we stand in the elections? Might be fun!

Don't we need to get votes from the whole school for that?

Yeah, who's going to vote for us?

Isn't that perfect for my Head Girl posters?

Shamira's going to win, dude. She's been planning it for years.

Oh! She's throwing a welcome party for Kabir.

I'm sure they'll start dating after that.

Perfect couple, right?

You know, Titli, you should really stop gossiping so much.

Am I right? Right?

Oops, sorry!

Are you Ok, Gippi?

I'm fine, Ashish.

You're so strong, Gippi.

Hows your head, Gurpreet?

First class.

And you, Anchal? You were sitting out because you had your period, right?

All the boys know! Anyway, bye!

You have your period again?!

Didn't I tell you they come every month?

Doesn't it feel weird?

No, it's not that bad.

Put a pad in the morning, and you don't even remember.

Shamira is not going to let you forget.

I know. I hate her.

All the boys are going to laugh at me now.

So what? They were laughing at me too.

I made an ass of myself again!

Everyone falls in P.T. class.

And what about that day in Chemistry class?

But then Sir came to save you! I was so jealous.

I think he's hot. Just like Ranbir Kapoor!
