You have to visit new places

for that.

You have to meet different

kinds of people.

You have to experience

new things.

In that case, why don't

you pay the fees?

The fees?

- Rs. 1800.

I think, real knowledge

is found only in books.

What? You just said yes!

You can't go back on your word.

Please, let me do this.

Please?

Okay, fine.

- Thank you!

" A frown comes along

in the middle of a laugh."

" Just let me catch my breath."

" All the autumn leaves

will fall away."

" Let me understand this."

" A bit of a firecracker."

" A bit sprightly and teasing."

" You are a chain that ties me

down."

" Why don't you turn

back to me, some time?"

" What is it about you, life?"

" What is it about you, life?"

" What is it about you, life?"

" Am I a copy of you?"

" Or, do you reflect me?"

Mr. Vijay! It's been so long!

How are you, Rajesh?

- Fine.

How's the social work going on?

- Well...

There's more politics

than social work involved.

Right. Our group has established

a political party.

The Goa Jana Party.

I'm working on that.

What's that in your hand?

There is a stone quarry about

15 kms away in Paavelim.

I mean, it was there, earlier.

We shut it down

after protesting against it.

Why?

- The project is not eco friendly.

There is a lake right in the

middle of the quarry. Have a look.

Alright, I've got to leave.

See you.

- Bye Sis!

So, as I was saying...

...the girls are growing up.

They are smart, too.

They should get into

a good school.

For example..

- St. Thomas.

St. Thomas.

I've heard very good things

about that school.

From whom?

From Nandini, right?

Yes, I told her.

So what?

I knew it.

Only you can come up with

such an uneducated idea.

Who are you calling uneducated?

I'm more educated than you.

Right, you've got a doctorate.

I admit, I only studied

till the tenth grade.

But at least, I cleared the exams!

I didn't fail in the

fourth grade, like you.

That's where you're wrong.

Clearing papers doesn't teach you

everything.

What?

- You bet!

Once, it took me four

whole hours to explain to her...

...that, Sonu Nigam's brother

isn't called Telephone Nigam.

She just wouldn't believe me.

Just keep quiet!

You always..

Listen, please don't get

into another fight the both of you!

And you don't need to go to

St. Thomas to know all that.

At least, don't scrimp

when it comes to education.

I'm not scrimping.

I'm being sensible.

It's not necessary everything

that is expensive is good.

Besides, those who really

wish to study...

...can study at any school

and make it big.

What do you say, Father(in-law)?

Am I right?

Yes, my son.

You're absolutely right. Right.

Get it moving, quickly.
