Stanley Ka Dabba Page #4

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.

Remember to get your lovely

Lunch boxes for your second recess

Yes miss

A penny for your thoughts, Verma?

Poor kids, burdened

with 3 extra periods now

Hey what you mean?

Big, big lunch boxes will walk in!

Keep your hands ready!

What are you saying?

Put them in the boxes! What fun!

Happy New Year!

Hey Lunch Box!

Hey Lunch Box!

Hey Lunch Box!

In the making... Lunch Box!

Aromatic Lunch Box!

Shiny-shiny Lunch Box!

Not just veggies, dal and rice

Not just mushrooms and cheese

Not just fenugreek, cream and peas

But loaded with mother's

Love and her care!

Hey Lunch Box!

Hey Lunch Box!

Good morning Sir. Namastey Sir

Yes... that's better

Everyone... Namastey Sir

Namastey children Please settle down

Wow!

The year has begun on a great note

So many lunch boxes!

And this shiny... four tiered...

steel lunchbox.. Who's the owner?

Sir, Aman!

Really?

Aman Mehra...

Is this your box?

Yes sir

What's in it?

Sir, food

Of course, I know there's

food in it Can't be pebbles

But what's the food?

Don't know Sir

Don't know?

I think... I'll have to make a trip

After 6 periods

At lunch-time, lets unravel

the mystery of the lunch box

They kept on checking these

baskets as they were going out

To check what is in the basket

But they were just full

of sweets and nothing else

Boys, LewisCarrol wrote

Alice in Wonderland

but he was also a mathematician

You know what he discovered?

Multiply 9 by any number, you

add the total and the answer is 9

Arise o pain of passion

Stir up the yearnings of the heart

Listen to the song of tear--

What's it?

Just bread and butter?

No, no. Thank you

Panditji, are you listening?

Arise o pain of passion

Stir up the yearnings of the heart

Yearning... waiting...

The thing is... The size is small

Long, long trousers and small,

smalllunch boxes?

That's not good

You should learn from the 4th Std. boys

Aman Mehra

A boy this small...
