you 5 times.

I'm just curious, with your condition,

why do you want to be a teacher?

Because of that chair sir.

You want to be the Principal?

Oh! No sir.

Like the 18 schools

that have rejected me,

I was thrown out of 12 schools

as a student.

This school was my lucky number 13.

I sit here in front of you,

wanting to be a teacher,

because Mr. Khan, who sat

in that chair 22 years ago,

taught me the biggest lesson

of my life.

Who is here so vile,

that is not a...

Good countrymen,

let me depart alone.

And, for my sake,

stay here with Antony.

Congratulations for this

wonderful performance.

Now tell me,

during this performance...

...did any of you hear

some peculiar noises?

Whoever was making those noises,

please come on stage.

Come to the stage immediately.

What's your name?

Naina Mathur, sir.

Can you stop these hiccups, please?

I can't sir.

Why not?

I have Tourette syndrome, sir.

I have never heard about it.

Sir, it's a neurological problem,

because of which I get...

like an electric shock.

What do other students say to you?

They laugh at me,

and tease me sir.

And teachers?

They throw me out of the class sir.

Tell me, what can we do for you?

How can we help you?

Sir, just treat me like the

rest of the students. Please.

My child,

this is a school.

Everyone comes here to learn,

but today you have taught us

something.

On behalf of St. Notker's

I promise you,

we will treat you just like

the other students.

Okay?

Go back.

A normal teacher only teaches you,

a good teacher makes you understand,

if he's great - then he'll show you

how to apply it.

But some teachers inspire us.

For me Mr. Khan is that kind

of a teacher.

Mr. Khan was an inspiration

for all of us.

To me, he still is sir.

Sir, I assure you sir,

I won't let you down.

I was born to be a teacher sir!

Ms. Mathur... will you be able

to manage with these sounds?

I mean I've never seen a teacher

with a speech defect.

Tourette's affects my speech sir.

Not my intellect.

Come with me Ms. Mathur.

Thank you, sir.

Thank you, ma'am.

Bad choice!

Good morning, sir.

National Science Fair?

St. Notker's has won it

for the last 2 years.

All credit to Mr. Wadia -

our science team in charge.

We're expecting a hat-trick

this year.

9A.

The school's brightest students.

All the toppers are from here.

Sir... I was in 9 C.

Sir, F division?

There was no F division, before?

Well, thanks to the Right

to Education initiative - we do now.

Just 14 kids.

Just 14?

But... why is this class empty?

Because their class teacher

is on leave.

Permanent leave...

I'll be honest with you,

I urgently need a teacher,
