Let me go, please.

Who knows, if you don't?

Vijay.

- Who's Vijay?

The man who's threatening

me with a carrot.

And, it seems, he hasn't

even bathed, yet.

You're reeking of sweat.

I would bathe, if you heat the

water.

Check in the bathroom.

It's already there.

You come too.

- Get away! Naughty!

Go!

So, where's Miss India?

She's probably rehearsing her

cat walk in front of the mirror.

Anu!

- I'll be right there, mom.

Good morning, dad.

- Good morning.

I was calling you last night.

But, I couldn't get through.

Did the phone die on you again?

- Yes.

Why don't you buy a cell phone?

What's the use?

That place is out of range.

Really? So, how does Jose

get the range on his mobile?

It's not like that. You want an

excuse to be away from us.

The three of us stay here

alone and you are...

One moment. Since there are

three of you, you're not alone.

Don't crack silly jokes.

You'd rather sit in office

and watch movies than come home.

You don't have any

sense of responsibility towards us.

You should consider us,

at least.

Okay, fine.

What do you want?

My darling wife! Speak up!

We want to go to Panaji.

Why?

For shopping.

We just went shopping,

six months ago.

Yes, we did shop.

You bought the cheapest

clothes, to save money.

Their colors have faded,

within six months.

So, this time, let's shop here,

instead of going to Panaji.

No! We want to go to Panaji.

We don't just want to shop.

We also want to watch a movie.

And we want to eat a pizza too.

And ice cream?

- Yes, ice cream, too!

People do all sorts of things

for their family. What do you do?

You can't even buy us

an ice cream!

Don't be so absurd!

You can buy ice cream

at Martin's too!

What's so special about Panaji?

You're denying our wishes.

Correct?

Majority wins and you're

still saying no!

We shall see.

I didn't say no.

I just asked.

Does that mean, we're

going to Panaji?

Yes.

- Are you sure?

This Sunday, we are going

to Panaji.

Happy?

" What is it about you, life?"

" What is it about you, life?"

" Am I a copy of you?"

" Or, do you reflect me?"

" What is it about you, life?"

" What is it about you, life?"

" You are clinging to me."

" You tickle my soles."

" You are a little irritable."

" You are slightly arrogant."

" You argue with me."

" Let's meet little further

down the road."

" What is it about you, life?"

There's a nature camp,

the next week.

And, two students from

each school in Goa are selected.

And, I've been selected

from my school.

That's really nice.

Yes, but..

I've told her, she can't go.

Why?

She should go for a nature camp.

Nandini, real knowledge

is not found only in books.
