Call me if you need anything

Or tomorrow at 7 A. M, okay?

Hi Karan

What's going on?

Preparation for the march

put up posters opposite

the vice Chancellor's office...

...this very night, okay?

No more of the vice

Chancellor's dictatorship!

No more! No more!

Uncle, be honest...

Are all these rallies and

demonstrations of any use?

Everyone has a right

to speak out in a democracy

But you shouldn't disrupt

law and order

Law and order? Hello aunty!

Hello Karan?

- How are you?

I am fine!

Where's Romi?

- In her room, Aunty

Sit please

The police resorted to using

water cannons at the last rally

Water cannons! She was lucky to

get away... or else she'd be in jail

Like mother like daughter!

I remember being arrested

in my student years

Aunty! Under arrest!!

Akhilesh...

- Yes?

I'm going to the

India International Centre

Okay - Bye... bye Karan

- Bye aunty - Bye

So tell me, what are your plans?

I'm going home right now

Then I'm meeting

my friends this evening...

I don't mean your agenda for today

I'm talking about life

Life...!?

You mean life!

Right uncle! It's worth a thought

You know...

Whatever you do in life,

it's very important to do it well

You can become a scientist...

but what's the use

if you aren't a good scientist?

Mow lawns, if thats

what you want to do

as long as you do it well

Do you agree?

You're right, uncle

Anyway, I should get going

Aren't you waiting for Romi?

No problem! I'll call her later

Has Karan gone?

- Yes, he had to leave

That boy is very confused

That's his only problem, papa

He just can't decide

what he wants to do

His life doesn't have...

what's it called...?

An objective

Thats it! Objective!

He has no real objective

But wait and watch,

the day he finds his calling

...you'll see how far he goes

Your juice, sir

Switch on the geyser, will you?

Do meet them

they're good people

You're in philadelphia

now and they are too

Sridhar, breakfast

- Don't mix them!

Put the clean ones aside!

You're mixing them again!!

You should keep in touch

with family friends, son

Is that Udesh? Give me

the phone, please

You've know them

since you were a child

just a second, mom!

It's important give it to me

Yes!

- Mom

Udesh! Can you check if the

jurassic park DvD is available

Hold on, Udesh... please

About what?!

He wants to speak to you
