Please speak softly, he might hear you.

You know, he doesnt

like to talk about his work.

Even I dont know what happened.

Still, it has already been two months.

Why doesnt Ashwat look for another job?

He has done his engineering from IIT!

I still have my job

at the observatory.

Mussoorie will be a

change of scene for Ashwat.

He has a different ambition.

He wants to do something

for his country.

What country?

The country has abandoned him.

If you do night shifts,

how will you take care of Prahlad?

Papa, please speak softly.

Dont worry.

So precious were those dreams

So close to my heart

I can't reminisce

So precious were those memories

Tried so hard to hold on to them

Tried so hard to hold on to them

But my dream, my coveted dream

Is now lost forever

My dream, my coveted dream

My dream, my coveted dream

My coveted dream is lost forever

Is lost forever

Hi, son. Had your milk?

Not tonight.

Youll have to a drink some milk.

Have you finished your science project?

You have to submit it tomorrow.

Where is your dad?

He's teaching.

It's late, isn't it?

Sir, excuse me, it's 8 already.

So?

I want to go home.

Wasnt our class

supposed to be till 6 p.m?

When you prepare for civil service exams,

keep an eye on the syllabus,

not on the clock.

This is the second time

you're revising the syllabus.

Papa, my science project.

Mummy said you'd help me with it.

Sit down.

Not now, my class is still on.

So when will you help me?

I need to go sleep.

Go ahead, I'll see you later.

Okay, guys,

only six to seven lectures more. If you study hard,

you'll ace the exams.

Who cares about acing the exams?

We just want a government job.

A huge house and a car with a red beacon

will be more than enough.

This...

This attitude of your generation...

Do you even know

what being a civil servant means?

If you can't do that...

dont waste the position.

Hey, you havent put on your shoes yet!

Go get them, you will be late.

Run!

Did you put all your books in the bag?

Prahlad.

Where's your science project?

I fell asleep by

the time Papa returned.

Couldnt you help him a little bit?

Huh?

My class went on till late, Sushma.

Anyway, he's a big boy now.

He can do his work. Right?

He does everything on his own, Ashwat.

He is very mature and

independent for his age.

He's so cooperative.

Can't you make some time for him?

I am, Sushma.

Go and make your bed.

Already done.

Done already?

Then go and fill this water bottle.

How long will this go on, Ashwat?

Do you know that they charge

tuition fees by the hour now?

And your class go on for

over five hours instead of two.

Civil examinations are tough.
