will never enter the asylum.

Do you understand?

My mother always...

said the same thing.

That as long as I live...

my daughter will never leave me.

But one day, she herself...

dragged her to the asylum.

And she got lost behind

the asylum's iron doors.

Michelle is deaf and

blind, Mrs. McNally!

She is not mentally retarded!

She need to recognize words...

everything that she touches,

that she eats...

has a name; which has a meaning.

I will teach her to speak...

through signs.

Till she is secure in her house,

this can't happen.

That's why!

Firstly...

I will have to change

this part of the house.

Everything should be new for her.

No papers, no books...

only empty walls.

I'll even change

the smell of this room.

Secondly, only I will have

a right over Michelle.

She will rely only on me!

Third thing, noone including you

will be allowed here.

No, no no... don't shake your head!

Look at me... look!

It's difficult but it will

have to be done for Michelle.

Fourth thing, all I want is

time and trust.

No salary, no allowances,

nothing and...

no alcohol

and the fifth thing...

so, when do I get

charge of my student?

This evening.

You know. Mrs. McNally,

I wish I could sing...

but my singing is so... pathetic.

Dear ms. Nair,

I have good news.

You will be unhappy to know that

the magician is at work

today is Michelles first day...

Mr. Sahai...

- In school. Ah!

Y our student.

You kept your promise, mrs. McNally

school has started,

and parents are not allowed.

So you should leave.

I have never left her alone.

Please take care of her.

Don't be harsh on her

No.

She is looking for me.

- Yes. I know.

She's going to come to you now.

Leave, mrs. McNally.

Please leave. Get back.

No, I can't take this...

- 2o days!

You cannot touch her for 2o days.

- But its time for her to eat.

Yes I know mrs. McNally.

You must leave now.

Please. Please. Can I...?

- I said leave.

No! No. No more mother.

No more father. Just me.

Me, your friend. Y our friend.

Look see see ya ya, your teacher.

Friend. Friend!

The magic has begun, ms. Nair!

The magic!

I will change her life.

The magic has begun!

Magic!

Wake up, miss... Michelle McNally.

We all pass through this darkness

once in which you are living.

So don't remain in the dark.

Come into the Light!

Light. Light.

Yes! Yes! Yes! Light!

The alphabets for the world start

with a, b, c, d, e but yours...

start with b, I, a, c, k...

black, black, black

y our alphabets, your world

are different Michelle.

You are different, you are, you are,

and you are different...

and are proud that you're different.

Here. This is cake.
