Chalk N Duster

- Roll no. 1. - Present Miss.

- Roll no. 2. - Yes Miss.

- 3. - Yes Miss.

A traveller whose name was Ramoji...

was passing through Lalpur village.

When Guru and Govind (God)... are standing before you...

who should you pay respect to first?

Okay.

Come on.

Now you come.

Here comes Hitler.

Now she’ll show-off her dictatorship.

Horrible color.

Mix it with some other color, Manjeet.

- Yes. - Bad choice.

We’ll conquer the entire state.

We’ll conquer.

We’ll...

Hello, ma’am.

If you do everything what will the kids do?

- Do it properly. Pull them up. - Yes.

Remember one thing.

You should always be able to see your parents.

Meaning... they should be able to see you.

If you stand behind each other...

- then you will not be seen. - Jyoti, can I see some rehearsals?

If you’ve finished giving instructions?

Okay.

Okay, children. From the beginning.

Nusrat, music.

One, two, three, four...

One, two, three, four!

One, two, three, four!

One, two, three, four!

Okay, that’s it.

Not good enough.

Change their steps.

Make it better.

Call the teachers, please.

Okay...

All teachers come here!

All teachers come here!

This is the entire schedule for tomorrow’s annual day...

along with your duty-charts.

Follow it exactly the way it is.

Don’t make any mistakes.

You’ve to report at exactly 8am tomorrow.

Why 8am?

The program starts at 12.

- Then why should we... - No arguments, please.

Principal’s orders.

Leave.

May I come in, ma’am?

- Please come in, Ms. Gupta. - Thank you.

Our Directors will arrive by 12pm tomorrow.

Trustee Mansukh bhai and his son Anmol’s coming too.

Anmol has done MBA from London.

Have we finished making all preparations?

Yes, I am personally supervising all the programs.

Here are the duty lists.

Good.

Very good.

Change the teacher’s reporting time to 10am instead of 8.

8 o’clock is too early.

Rest all is fine.

Sure.

I thought, tomorrow for the Annual Day...

I won’t have to rush to school.

But that Hitler... She won’t let anyone live in peace.

I am sure it’s her conspiracy to call everyone at 8 am in the morning.

She’s only using Principal madam’s name.

Keeps bossing the teachers around.

If only I could have it my way, I would...

Manjeet!

Aren’t you ashamed...

of humiliating your Supervisor?

What do you think?

Don’t we know what’s happening around the school?

She sounds exactly like Gupta.

I’ve spies all around.

Am I right, Rupa?

Yes, Madam. You can never be wrong.

Jyoti.

And you were smearing lipstick on your face.

Oh, God!

Stop it.

Very good.

Quiet!

Jyoti madam. Please tell me one thing.

You’re such a good actor.

You’re even a good dancer.

And I’ve even heard that...

you were a state-level badminton player.

- So, what I mean is... - Wait a minute.

Wait a minute, Mr. Chaturvedi.

Even in the staff room...

you sound like Tulsidas is tutoring his pupils.

Can’t you simply say...

“Jyoti, since you’re so talented...”

“...why don’t you take up some better profession?”

“Why did you choose to be an ordinary science teacher in Kanta Ben school?”

Come on, Manjeet. Ordinary teacher?

We should be proud that we’re in this noble profession.

Can you imagine... what this world would’ve been...

without a teacher.

“The fear of Algebra is none”

“When you learn it... it’s full of fun”

“The fear of Algebra is none”

“When you learn it... it’s full of fun”

“Once you know the values of X and Y”

“I promise you’ll score very high”

“So children...”

“Today we will solve this equation...”

“with the rule of...”

“B...”

“O...”

“D...”

“M...”

“A...”

“S...”

“BODMAS...!”

“Solve the brackets first”

“BODMAS...!”

“Orders come after that”

“BODMAS...!”

“Divide and multiply”

“BODMAS...!”

“Then you add then subtract”

“BODMAS...!”

“BODMAS...!”

“So children... now you all tell me what is the answer”

“46”

“Correct...”

“BODMAS...!”

“BODMAS...!”

“BODMAS...!”

“BODMAS...!”

“BODMAS...!”

“BODMAS...!”

Iqbal, what do you get if you give me a hug?

Chocolate!

Yes.

Today... two students in my class had birthdays.

Say thank you.

Thank you, madam.

Jyoti, how are your rehearsals going?

Rocking, sis.

Good. Shall we?

Your medicine.

What’s this?

The other day you were saying...

your knees have been paining?

You remembered?

And this miraculous medicine...

is prepared by a physician in our Jaipur.

Just apply it day and night...

and the pain will disappear.

- Try it... - But how much for this medicine?

O Pushpa, I’ll tell you... once you get some relief.

And let’s go.

Or else you’ll miss your 3:30 Local.

Let’s go.

So tell me.

- Bye, ma’am. - Bye.

- Do you imitate me as well? - You?

Never!

- Never. - Don’t lie.

- No. - Show me.

- No, no.. - Show me.

- Will you hit me? - No.

Promise?

Bye.

So children, I’ll teach you Algebra today.

- (x+y)2 = x2+y2+... - Come on.

Here you go.

Here.

- Stop. - Sorry, papa.

- Sorry, papa. Sorry. - Stop running. Stop.

- Papa, sorry. - Why are you hitting him?

He’s failed his exams. I’ll...

Will he pass if you hit him?

Son, why don’t you study?

I do, aunty.

I passed all subjects.

But maths seems a bit difficult.

And papa doesn’t send me to extra classes.

I drive a taxi all day...

and only then can I pay your fee.

He’s been studying in an English school...

so that he can be someone successful.

And not drive a taxi like his father.

- And he wants extra... - Stop.

I will tutor him.

- Who are you? - I am a teacher.

I stay in that Sai Sadan building.

Room. 203.

Send him to me at 7pm.

Will you tutor him for free?

You’ll take fee as well.

My fee will be...
