LIFE IS A RAINBOW

Hey dude! 1st day of college

Did you petition God?

I ask God to ensure my dad doesn't yell at me when he gives me fuel-money

Won't your dad pray to the same God...

'...my son should use this only for petrol, nothing else!'

And not to hang out with rowdies like this!

"Torture of uniform everyday"

"Not in college...hurray!"

"Back-breaking books as backpack in tow"

"In college, a big no-no"

"Stand up on the bench Problem, such a pain"

"In college...never again!"

"If homework not done face punishment"

"In college, no such regiment"

"Slaving out 24x7 with a long face School life is such a phase"

"Freedom, free will, chances, choices College is another day in paradise"

"So let's say..."

"Bye bye bye to school"

"Hi hi hi to college"

"School is a horrid nightmare"

"This blame who will bear?"

"College is censor-free Must live life fully"

"So let's say..."

"Bye bye bye to school"

"Hi hi hi to college"

Surprising! These kids are coming to college so happily

Wonder how many have come to study

Let's 1st see how many step into the class!

All these freshers are on their toes to flirt with us

If they knew we are post grads they'll vanish into thin air

They'll probably call you 'sis' and fall at your feet

They'll call you 'aunty' and fall at your feet!

"Bye bye bye to school"

"Hi hi hi to college"

"School is a horrid nightmare"

"This blame who will bear?"

"College is censor-free Must live life fully"

"So let's say..."

"Bye bye bye to school"

"Hi hi hi to college"

If you look smart shouldn't speak in Tamil, huh?

Are you in 1st year?

Trying to be funny?

Looks like 'boss' is like us

Been studying for 2 years

But doesn't know where his class room is!

New admission?

Go straight-

Even I know English!

What...?

Show me your right hand

Poor fellow! Wonder which class he sat in

Didn't I get my right and left right?!

Do you know Tamil?

Very well

I'm a Tamilian

But having stayed in North India my accent is a little different

This is your 1st day after your vacation

If I start lessons today...

...you'll draw my face on the restroom walls!

So today no class

Are you the new student?

Introduce yourself

I call myself a NRT

Non resident Tamilian

I've never lived in Tamil Nadu

My dad works for the Central Govt

On the move all the time I've seen most of India

But your Tamil is very good

Credit goes to my parents

They believe only if it is spoken, Tamil won't become extinct

Where did you study 2 years of your under grad?

What are your plans for your future?

Music is my interest

I want to become a rock singer

I have a dream as a student also, sir

My biggest wish is to be the champion in...

...the 'All India inter-university culturals'

I tried very hard when I was in Delhi

But we missed it

I want to somehow get it through Madras University this time

You are so focused You'll bag it for sure

Will you sing a song for us now?

Rock or film song?

Tamil song...lyrics will be a problem

Hindi song, okay?

Not knowing Tamil, if a North Indian can come here and sing a Tamil song...

...why can't you being a Tamilian who knows Hindi, sing a Hindi song?

"I can't live without you now Without you my life is zero"

"If I should part from you then I will part with 'me' too"

"Because you're my one and only You are Ms Right for me"

"You are my existence"

"My de-stress and my distress"

"My love divine now you're mine"

This is men's college, right?

Yes, but there are a few girls in some courses also

No co-education here?

Many schools here are co-ed

But in college they split us!

Do they think boys are a problem to girls or vice versa?

They think if both of them get together...

...problem is for the entire college!

You can even believe these young boys

But shouldn't trust the men in their 40s

I know what they can stoop to!

I've seen my school teachers

Schools are discriminated according to economical status

In colleges there isn't any such disparity

Otherwise can someone like me drink tea with an affluent guy like yo-

Let's go

Thanks, bro

Jack, you go I'll join you

Give me the balance money

I have only 2 rupees with me

Go, I'm off to class now

That grandma sweeps the office room in our college

She's near my house She's a sweet lady

Now and then I give her some money

Really?

What?

Great Lakes is here too?

This competition is held in Gurgaon, Delhi

Their cultural event is very famous

You sing so well Why can't you participate?

Sure, but I should first get selected in the college team

Look here

Take part in this and rock

This is the place to register for the audition?

Go inside

Come, Saro

They have started

Poor chap

"When New York city was fast asleep"

"Blanket of solitude in a heap Snow too was knee deep"

"From the ship, breeze alighted to walk along the shore delighted"

Careful

"In my heart a song when I sing on fluffy white clouds I am flying"

"Like a boat in the lake floating I revel in this tranquil feeling"

"In my mind when sadness creeps music is my solace for keeps"

"Setbacks and worries slowly saddle wind's back to flee"

"Music makes me happy"

"Music makes me happy"

"Like a mother, as a friend and God omnipresent"

"Always in good times or crisis follows me faithfully - this"

"Music makes me happy"

"Music makes me happy"

"When anger blazes like a fire within"

"...music is a balm to the soul soothing"

"When in danger all alone in solitude music flows as a comforting prelude"

"When lonely moments plague me this music hugs me with a lullaby"

"To palest surroundings even music paints colors seven"

"Music makes me happy"

"Music makes me happy"

"Like a mother, as a friend and God omnipresent"

"Always in good times or crisis follows me faithfully - this"

"Music makes me happy"

"Music makes me happy"

Jack, can I ask you something? You shouldn't misunderstand

Go ahead

Do you love someone?

Why this sudden question?

Usually many girls will flip for a boy who sings as well as you

I'm the one who has fallen for a girl in every school I went to!

Then I was right

Every time I split from them...

...I'd think it was end of the world

Then...next school, next girl and I'd be fine

That was in school

But now in college?

In Delhi?

Fling phase is over

Haven't met anyone for real forever

Give me the bat, Saro

Don't know?

This is how we greet one another in college

Thanks for supporting me with your music

Congrats, dude

For what?

Didn't you see the notice board?

You've been selected in our college team

- Super, Jack - Thanks, Saro

This is Saravanan My classmate

Are you a cricketer?

No, simply, I just thought of playing French cricket

French cricket?

It's a habit from my school days

We play it all the time

We can play Teach us the game

Is it like watching a dubbed film?

He's our comedy element

Born and brought up in America

He's in India only last 2 years

But he is so stubborn to talk only in Tamil

I like India

I like Tamil very much

Thirukkural is my favourite

'The rain begets the food we eat and forms food and drink concrete'

Okay, very simple

No team Just individuals
