As I had discussed with

Mr. Godbole at the last PTA...

Sapna's performance

continues to be excellent...

Sir...sorry... father...

my English not good

If you don't mind...

Of course Mrs. Godbole...

Hindi is our national Language...

we should all speak in it...

but...my Hindi not very good...

is that okay?

No problem!

I am from Kottayam district you see...

Kottayam... that's in Kerala right?

It's famous for its

banana wafers right?

Do you like them?

Very much!

Next time I go I...

I'll bring back a big

packet of chips for you

Is she doing well in her studies?

Of course...

she is one of the top

She could rank first...

if she showed more interest in Physics

But is her English good?

Her English is excellent

Mrs. Godbole...

she is one of our brightest students

But is she respectful?

Does everyone like her?

Sapna...you haven't told

your mum about your fan club?

Bu Mrs. Godbole,

I wanted to talk to you about...

...this inter-school quiz competition

Sapna has been chosen...

Sapna has 'chosen' for the school...

been 'cheesed'...

Has been chosen!

I warned you about my Hindi

She will need to stay back

an extra hour in school...

for practice sessions...

Sir...l have already

spoken to my dad about this...

and there is no problem

Yes but you haven't

spoken to your mum...

Ma'am, I need your permission please

Not a problem father...

our school must win

Although the Coffee Day

business will suffer a bit

Thank you Mrs. Godbole...

I'll see you at the next PTA meeting?

And don't forget the banana chips

Of course not...

Thank you sir

Everything went well right?

Banana chips!

Is Father Vincent your uncle?

Father Vincent was so kind

...so polite...

he said something in jest...

and I went along with it

He didn't seem to mind at all...

he made me feel so comfortable...

by talking in Hindi

And you made him

feel so uncomfortable...

...by talking in Hindi

"Is Sapna a good girl...

does everyone love her"...

And why joke about Cafe Coffee Day...

Dad should have been there...

and you were talking in Hindi...

even to Rupal's mother

Each time I had to answer for you

What happened?

I'm the one who's failed

Meaning?

I have embarrassed her today

All teenagers feel their mom

and dad are an embarrassment

Not mom and dad...

just mom

Why are you so upset?

Tell me...

why did you marry me?

What can I say...

one look at you and I was hooked!

Isn't there any water?

Why didn't you marry a modern woman?

If I gave it so much thought

why would I get married at all...

it's a joke Shashi... come on...

What's come over you?

No matter how hard I try...

I just can't seem to please anyone

Sapna's just a child
