Stanley Ka Dabba Page #2

Synopsis: Stanley studies in an all-boys Holy Family High School in Andheri East, Mumbai. While his class-mates bring their very own Tiffin-boxes, Stanley does not do so on the pretext that his mother is away, and shares food with Aman Mehra and others much to the chagrin of the Hindi Teacher, Babubhai Verma, who not only cajoles fellow-teachers, but virtually forces children, to share their food with him. With extra classes being imposed on both students and teachers, and the recess-breaks being doubled, parents are also forced to pack more food in lunch-boxes. When students evade Babubhai and continue sharing food with Stanley, he calls the latter aside and warns him that he cannot attend school until and unless he brings his own food. Watch what impact this has on Stanley, teachers, and his class-mates.

But its not Tuesday today!

Good morning, sir

Your noise is echoing

through the corridors

Sit down!

Thank you, sir...

Open your Hindi workbooks

A... for apple

A... for apple

Open a fresh page

And write 20 times

What's happening here?

Stanley! Walter!

What's going on?

Sir, he's pushing me

No Sir. He's pushing me

Stanley...

You write with your left hand?

Yes sir

- Huh? Writing with your left hand?

Yes, I write with my left

Get up

Do you eat with you left hand?

Not good,child for education,

never the left hand

Write with your right

If you write with your right

Everything will go right, understood?

Sit down

Come on. Start

Very good, Yash Gangan. Good work

You're through very early

You're through too?

Hey! Ask Stanley...

Stanley...

There's a football match

When?

- After school

After school I have to go home

Call your mother and

inform her about the match

I don't have money

That's not a problem

Aman has a mobile phone

He hides it in a secret pocket

Aman has a mobile?

Yes

Aman, give me your phone

Here, Stanley call your mother

Get on with it

Hello Mummy! Can I please

play football after school?

Food?

Don't worry about food.

Aman's getting food for all of us.

Aman's getting food for all of us.

Can I please play?

Thank you, Mummy!

I love you, Mummy! Bye!

Aman, here's your phone

Stanley is joining us

Come on, Stanley

Unaware of hunger or thirst

Unaffected by class divide

Unaware of hunger or thirst

Boys, hurry up the food is getting cold

Unaffected by class divide

Bathed in sunshine, all sunny

Morsels of happiness, not too many

Innocent heart believes in any...

Lost yourself in

crowded herds, have you?

Rosy, what happened?

This essay is so funny!

And who has written it?

Stanley

That 4th F boy?

Yeah

Stanley Fernandes?

That boy never carries a lunch box

Eats from others' boxes

You understand teacher?

- Yes

He puts his hand in

other children's boxes

Rosy teacher, Father's called you

Yes

There's a situation

We've lost a lot of time due to

closure at the time of swine flu

Now what do we do about this?

We'll complete what we can comfortably

What difference does it make if we

miss out 5 lessons in the curriculum?

No No! We complete

our portion every year

Why not add extra periods?

You know I've been talking to

other teachers as well

And they seem to be agreeing

to what you're saying

So post Christmas we'll add

three extra periods after lunch

I guess father

If you say so, we'll follow it
