Parichay (परिचय)

'This is a story of a colonel.'

'Yes, he is the colonel.'

'He was a colonel'

'when India was still ruled by the British.'

'The British left India and the colonel left the army.'

'But he did not give up his army discipline.'

'People now address him as Rai Sahab AP Roy.'

'He lives in a palatial mansion with his sister, Sattee Devi.'

'Rai Sahab had a son, Neelesh. He was as obstinate as his father.'

'But his interests were quite different.'

'He wanted to be a singer, but Rai Sahab was against it.'

'He married Sujata, a girl of his choice.'

'And they had to face the same as people in their situation have to.'

'Neelesh and Sujata gave up on life after their struggle with poverty.'

'They both expired and left behind five orphan children.'

'Rama, Ajay,'

'Vijay, Neeta, and Sanju.'

'After seventeen years, Rai Sahab got Neleesh's children back home.'

'He tried to educate them,'

'but these children also proved to be as obstinate as their elders.'

'Several teachers were hired, but none of them stayed for long.'

'They stayed for few weeks, months,'

'some got fed up and left and...'

'No, he hasn't left, he is their current teacher!'

Silence! Silence! Silence!

We are silent! - Quiet!

We are quiet, you are talking. - Shut up!

How dare you speak?

Stand up, I say! I said, stand up!

What did I do that you are hitting me?

You have done nothing, still I am strict with you.

So if you do anything, what will your condition be?

I've heard a lot about you, but I will surely reform you kids.

Stand up! - I am standing.

Yes, you are.

Stand on the bench.

Memorize this lesson till then I will teach a poem to these two.

Come on then.

J for Jack.

K for...

I want to do. - Do? What?

I want to do. - What do you want to do?

Sir, I want to do it.

But what do you want to do?

I want to do.

But what? - I want to do.

What do you want to do? - I did it.

What, you did it?

Okay, never mind.

No! It was nothing. I should go back to sleep.

It is nothing.

What?

What?

No! Gho... Ghost! It is a ghost! No!

Ghost! There is a ghost in my room!

There is a ghost in my room! - What? What happened?

No! There's a ghost!

What happened to the teacher?

He yelled out ghost and ran away!

Brother, look at this!

Who did this?

Who has played this prank?

Who else but those children for whom new teachers keep coming here!

This is not the first time.

Call them out quickly!

Ajay.

Vijay.

Neeta.

Sanju.

Stop pretending! Mr Rai has called for you.

Oh! So you will not wake up easily, come on, get up!

Hey! Wake up. Come on, you guys!

Rama! Rama!

Mr Rai has called you all out. Come out quickly!

I don't understand why you are hell-bent on reforming them!

You're also very stubborn!

If they don't wish to study, let them not!

You go back to sleep, I will reprimand them.

Come on.

Come out quickly and stand in a queue.

Where is Rama?

You also stand here with them!

You are their captain, they don't do anything without your consent.

Tell me the truth. Who has played this prank?

Who lit a candle on the back of a tortoise?

Shut up!

Tell me who is responsible for this prank.

Or else, the whole night you will be standing here.

You won't tell me, alright then keep standing here the whole night.

Narayan, you stand here and see to it that they don't try to sit.

Okay but the whole night? - Yes, let them stand here!

Me too? - Yes, you too!

You play the prank, and I have to pay for it.

Saturn casts a shadow on Mars and

that's why Mercury can't prosper.

But Jupiter has entered Rahu's house hence...

Just a minute, I cannot understand a word you are speaking!

Why don't you explain it to me in a simple way?

Stop joking and listen to what he says.

Please tell him in a simple language.

Will he get a job today?

It seems that you are reading a calendar and not his palm!

My son, I don't approve you making fun of my palmistry!

'I am stuck! He is hell-bent on explaining the complete science.'

What are you thinking?

I was trying to listen to the second track!

What is that? - Don't you know?

I call the inner voice my second track.

But the problem is that my second track speaks louder than me!

So what is your second track telling you now?

It says that I won't get this job. - Why won't you get?

Because if he doesn't let me go, I can't go for my job interview!

You're not destined for a job.

Your lines indicate you'll do a business.

Mars and Mercury will unite,

and when Venus will come out from behind Saturn,

you will earn much wealth!

I am not able to get a simple job, and you are talking of wealth!

You may show your palm to him, I'll leave.

Alright, you read my palm.

Actually, I don't know English... - Okay.

I need a man who could write in English the things that I tell him.

Okay.

But you are supposed to write only what I tell you, alright? - Okay.

I have man working here for many years. - Okay.

Yes. - Okay.

But now he has become quite old!

Okay.

He can't see properly, every letter has to be typed many a times!

Okay.

There isn't much work to do, there will be 10-12 letters every day.

And once in a month, you will have to type out all the bills.

Alright? - Okay.

I hope you understand. - Yes, I do.

Pirachand!

Pirachand! - Yes?

Please take him in and explain all the work.

Alright. - You can go inside with him.

Alright? - Sure.

Please sit.

Do you smoke? - No, thank you!

Okay, you have to keep all the letters

you receive in the left tray.

The letters you don't have to reply are to be kept in the right tray.

This procedure is to make the work more systematic.

And the letters you reply to,

file their copies in the files kept there.

There is a separate file for every year,

I've arranged them very accurately!

You will have no problems.

This cupboard was ordered by me.

My boss did not tell me a word, he is a very nice man.

He's taken good care of me.

Since when are you working here?

Me?

Last month I completed 22 years.

If I need anything, I immediately ask the boss.

He's never refused me.

He gave me Rs 500 on my daughter's wedding.

It wasn't a loan, he presented it to me.

I have served him for many years and now I've become old.

I cannot work efficiently and then there's a loss because of me.

I told him myself, he has not asked me to leave!

He did not tell me to leave.

I am leaving this place myself!

I've left my spectacles out, I'll come back now.

That was nice, but what was the benefit?

You both have lost the job, that old man will not be there for long.

Very soon, the boss will fire him.

Let him do it, I did not like it there and I came back.

Oh, yes! There is a letter from your uncle!

When did it arrive? - In the morning.

What has he written? - You read it yourself.

He's written something about a house and also a job.

So what do you think? - What do you think?

Ravi, I think you should take up this job.

I am sure that you will get a nice job in the next 5-6 months.

Besides I am here, I will inform you.

You can go and take up the job and even settle your home matter.

There is one more love letter. - What is that?

Where did I keep it?

Notice!

Send the rent within 10 days or you will have to vacate this lodge.

Is this a good life that we are leading!

I'll go home and send you money from there.

I'll keep walking, I am sure I will find my destination someday!

"I am just a wanderer."

"I don't have a home or destination."

"I don't have a home or destination."

"All I know is that I have to keep walking."
