Pind Aala School (2024) Movie Script
1
You think nobody else here
knows anything except for teacher
Yes!
You havent even completed 5 years here
But I have been here for 15
years along with teachers
Eating and drinking,
bathing and teaching along with them
One thing is left, that also you
could have done with them only
(entire class laughs)
Hey! Hey! Come here come here
WHAT IS THIS? WHAT IS THIS?
7+5 equals 12 NOT! 13
But the last teacher taught us that
Baba Nanak has done 13-13 only
You dumb person!, this is addition and
subtraction, that was an essay on Baba Nanak
It means there is a difference between both?
Yes there is
But people say Baba Nanak never
differentiated between anybody
The Baba in Gurudwara was also
saying the same thing in the morning
Go ask him, has he ever followed
the path shown by Baba Nanak?
Hey! Study, Hey! Study, other-wise you will
only be eligible for feeding fodder to the cattle
Feeding fodder to the
cattle is wrong type of work?
(there my father is feeding fodder
to the cattle of the Sarpanch)
(This means that.....)
(My father is a very wrong man)
I have talked about addition and subtraction
you have started chasing cattle
Go Study!
OK Head master (sarcastic)
Now listen to me everybody
I am going to teach you tables
Listen and watch
3 into 9 equals 27
4 into 9.... mmmm
About this even I do not know
You also speak something
4 into 9 equals 35
This is wrong, 9 into 4 equals 36
Hmmm!
Very good, Bravo, I was testing this
only that If you can see right from wrong
Very good, Bravo Noor
Almost got me killed
You will only feed fodder
(entire class laughs)
Hey why are you looking at me and laughing
Study Study... or write 9 into 4 equals 37
(entire class laughs)
Who is this in a suit and boot?
Let me show him some
attitude by speaking English
Who are you?
The who corrects tables
(The who corrects tables?)
The new teacher of this school
Class stand! Jai Hind (entire class)
Greetings Teacher
Hmmm...
By the way
May I ask who are you?
Ia am the attendant of this school.... Hari Singh
Hmmm...
Your table seems a lot.... crooked to me
By the way... Is teaching
tables the duty of an attendant
No no... its for the teacher
The I will do your work
I will make tea for you
Why are you getting angry teacher
I will soon bring milk tea for you
Come... come along
Sit Sit
Thank you sir (entire class)
Chatter
Tea for you sir
By the way I failed to understand one thing...
Which one
If you are an attendant
Then why were you teaching the children?
He is not teaching us but confusing us
I will hit you in on the head with the tray!
Hmm...
The former teacher did not teach anything at all
Hmmm...
So...
I had the knowledge that you
were arriving three days later
They have exams ...
Hmmm...
OK!
I am just an attendant
I was attending to my duty
So that they can keep focusing on their studies
You know that otherwise it is difficult
to even get their brains to the school
Gora's brain is stuck in the tiffin box
You see the stick!
Yes... Its pretty thick
Shush
(Cow Moooos)
(class astonished)
Who will shut them up now
They also come to school to learn tables?
Whom do these belong to?
They belong to the Sarpanch
Why has the Sarpanch tied them here
Because they belong to the Sarpanch
But why has the Sarpanch tied them here?
Because he is the Sarpanch
So if he is the Sarpanch, he will tie the cattle here
Yes
Where else will that innocent
man tie them (sarcastic)
And it is an advantage for you...
Advantage! what advantage?
The tea that you are drinking!
It is made from their milk only
(giggles)
Actually the teacher who was formerly here
Used to have not only milk but also
curd from their milk only (Cow moooos...)
The cows are actually doing Class Stand
You are very naughty
Sit still
What is the name of the Sarpanch
Hakam Singh has become the sarpanch only
to relieve you of your pain and suffering
Sarpanch sir yesterday there was pure
mud coming out of my Submersible
Hey Sarpanch sir, my house is
right on the bank of the pond
People come here early in the
morning and start pooping
The atmosphere of my home
is worse than that of the water
Sarpanch sir
Please close this pond either by hook or by crook
If the pond gets closed, where will mine
and the Sarpanch's cattle take a bath
Then the cattle wont be the only thing that
takes bath here, malaria will also spread equally
I... I will do something about this
problem, Please do not worry
Hey... Hey Sarpanch sir we were to
attend the bhog, we are already late
Yes! We have to attend the bhog
Finish our matter first!
(Mixed chatter)
Oh Sarpanch sir, now my house is getting dirty
Catch the Sarpanch brothers, its a limit now
Its been six months since the grant came
Why hasn't the work on the pond started?
Sarpanch sir, from the last grant,
we put extra money into our
pockets which was meant for latrines
We had to do the accounting for that too
One installment was spent there only
So what now
Oh you don't worry about it,
tomorrow the second installment will arrive
I will get the work started,
they will settle down for some time
Yes, the work on the pond
should at least start in the books
Yes
No worries, we will dump
two trolleys tomorrow itself
No worries
You do this, you dump two
trolleys tomorrow itself
So that we can at least be
able to answer back to them
Hold this
Add a couple of chillies as well
shopkeeper (Lala ji), it won't kill you!
OK, I have, hold this!
Take this money
Make the previous payment as well, OK OK,
previous is also pending! Yes!, OK I will
Here comes the idler
Pushed out early morning
How are you shopkeeper (seth)
At least clean this,
somebody might need to sit here
You do it Idler!
Do tell
I am doing good
You sisters in law kicked you out of the house
in the morning after giving you bare food
What are you doing
Let me eat brother
Let you eat, why?
These are only extra for you
Here comes the dove couple... come come... come!
Come come... come!
Wow!
Give it here shopkeeper (Lala ji)
I will give you the chocolate
First tell me the story of the sparrow
Go on
I don't remember the one with the sparrow
OK then tell the one that you know
We can tell the one with the male sparrow
Go on then
What should the sparrow do,
drink cold water and die!
The used to be a male sparrow living in a village
The sparrows were three brothers
They had thirty acres of land in their name
Both of the brothers of the
male sparrow got married
But they didnt let the male sparrow get married
The innocent male sparrow used to serve
his brothers and sisters in law like a mule
Then...
Then what, early morning after getting
whooped, he used to sit at a random shop
Hey shopkeeper (Seth)
Brother why does this story
Sound similar to my own
Doesn't sound similar, it is your's only
(Laughter)
Wait you menaces, you tease me the whole day!
Where will you run I am right behind you
Oh I haven't even recovered half of
my investment for sarpanch election
You are thinking about
opening a park in the village
Oh even we haven't recovered Sarpanch sir
But there is a a lot of pressure from above
But at least we have to show
some empty space for the park
I am thinking about taking into
possession the cremation place
Greetings Sarpanch sir

Whose grandson is he then?

OK teacher
Ask him anything
Ask... ask ask
Oh leave it Sarpanch sir
Let it be, I know now
Oh no no no no
Ask him something at least, ask
Its OK Sarpanch sir, I will ask him some other time
Oh teacher ask him at least
Oh Sarpanch sir what is there to ask,
why are you annoying the child
OK you... you ask him what is
the name of him mom and dad
Mmm Hmmm...
So son what is the name of your dad
Sardar Surjit Singh
Hmmm
And your mother
Sardarni Baljit Kaur
Oh teacher ask him in English not Punjabi
Haha
Ask him in English
The name of his mom and dad
What's your Father name
Sardar Surjit Singh
Ha
Wow sarpanch sir
He knows the name of his
father in English as well, see
And Mother's name
Sardarni Baljit Kaur
Very good
Oh the entire credit goes
to the private school, haha
That is quite visible (muffled)
Grandfather may I go inside,
I have do my school work (speaks in Hindi)
Go son
Hehe
Sarpanch sir in this private school,
this Hindi speaking is not right
This makes the child soft, just very soft
Hmmm!
Hehe (uncomfortable smile)
Uh, now can we leave the private
talk and do some official talk
O.. o.. o.. official talk, what,
official talk, official talk
Hmmm? Hmmm?
Which official talk
Hmm..
We have a request
Uh.. tell us the request
Ahem
Those cattle of yours that are tied in the school
They are causing a lot of
disturbance in the studies
Hahaha
But this is the only request
That please untie them from there
Laughing mockingly
Oh the cattle are not going
to study and become officers
The cattle are going to do labour work
So let the cattle stay with the cattle
Laughing mockingly
Sarpanch sir
Untie your cattle by tomorrow
Lest it should happen
Only chains are left in the place of cattle
Chains can be bought anew
but the post will stay there only
Hahaha
I know how to unearth them as well
I also know how to twist my finger
Thank you
Thank you (muffled)
What did he say
What is this that the teacher said Sarpanch sir
Sarpanch sir and wise man can use as well
What is the need to dirty the finger
I think this teacher is also crazy, Hahaha...
(School bell ringing)
Hmmm.
Hm Hm
Jai Hind!
Sit sit sit
Thank you
Hey, what is this
Is this a class or a vegetable market?
Teacher, this all is for you
Why?
Is the a festival going on?
Oh no no, there is no festival,
I will tell you what the real story is
Yes, tell me what it is
The former teacher Baldev had a
bad habit of asking the children to
get things for him from their home
But why do parents do these things
This I fail to understand
Oh teacher you are very innocent
They were afraid that he might fail their children
Poor people, afraid they kept giving these things
This is the limit
If the teacher thinks this way,
they what would he teach the children
Children!
Go home and tell your parents that they
do not need to send these things anymore
The how will we pass teacher
For passing you will have to study
The student who will study, only he/she will pass
And those who come first,
second and third will also be rewarded
So teacher what should we do about this now
What Baba Nanak had done
Hehe
Come on children, lets share and eat
Teacher
Today I got to know one thing
Like a child is incomplete without parents
A child cannot be complete
without an honest teacher
Hari
If the roots of a plant are strong
Only then will it give fruit
So it is important
At the right time
In the right quantity
The plant should be watered
Hmmph...
Hmm..
What is this?
This is the mid-day meal
Oh this is rotten with worms
If you ask, its not rotten with normal
worms but mega worms which are 6 feet long
Meaning?
Meaning Sarpanch
The ration we get for mid
day meal, he keeps for himself
And this ration, which is rotten,
where did this come from
This too from the Sarpanch's house
What ever is leftover, he gives to us
Hmphh!
This is the limit
The ration that should come to the
school, how did it reach his house
Baldev teacher...
Sarpanch and Baldev
teacher were both conniving
Hmmmm...
Both worms ate many drums of wheat and rice
Hm..
Ahem
Teacher
Yes
Do something about them as well
Hmmm..
Greetings mother
Greetings son (over the phone)
Are you OK?
Have you eaten food son?
No no mother, not yet
Hari is preparing
Then it is very difficult son
When can men prepare food..
Hehehe
No no mother don't say like this
In the matter of food,
Hari doesn't let me remember you
(smiles)
He cooks delicious food
Hahaha
Then it is a great thing
Son
We miss you a lot
Look, we are two ladies in the house
The house is overwhelming for us
You tell
Are you settling down OK
How is the school
Mother the school is also very good
And the children are also very nice
And let me eat food prepared
by Hari for some more days
Son...
One can get tasty food somewhere else
But not mother
Where else will I go mother
Uhh
Mother I have to disconnect the call,
I think there is somebody over
Greetings teacher
Greetings Sarpanch sir
This late at night!
Is everything OK?
Oh even if something is not OK,
then it will be OK now
Bring it
Eh.. ahahaha
What is this?
Emmmm...
I told you that we should bring an English bottle
He is a learned man, why would he like moonshine
Sarpanch sir, I asked you something
This... Ababbbb... welcome, in English welcome
I regret that as I was busy I couldn't meet you
I am even happier now that I learned
that your first posting is in our village
That is why I have myself come to welcome you
This, take take
Thank you Sarpanch sir
But I do not consume liquor
Not English
Not moonshine
Oh teacher
I think you are still offended
But your being offended is valid
When I became the Sarpanch
of the village for the first time
Even I used to think that I would
turn my village into Chandigarh
You would also be having the
same thoughts about the school
Not just thought..
I will
Teacher! you drink up
And students of government
school don't have a future, uhuh...
Sarpanch sir
I have also acquired this government job
after studying from a government school
Then why won't they have a future
Oh teacher
You get angry very much
I didnt meant to say this
Hmmm...
Then what was the meaning
Umm I meant to say that, lets see
A total of 60 children from our
village are studying in school
Hmmm...
38 in private school
And 22 are studying in government school
Hmm...
But if after studying in government school,
children start becoming officers
Then who will work in our fields,
mind our cattle work and do our labour work?
Hmm..
Don't you stress about it, have a large peg
Oh make a large one
Right away sir
I told you already
That I do not drink
Hehe...
Why are we annoying the teacher, Sarpanch sir
I will have his peg as well
Hmmmm...
Should I make yours
Oh, its a Thursday for me today
OK teacher
You have your food
We... ahem
Hm..
Then give us permission to leave
Hmmm...
Let's go, you stand
Hm..
OK, thank you
OK, greetings
Huh
Sarpanch sir
Huh..
Take this along as well
Its of no use to me
Oh pick it up, eh eh, hehehe
Hehehe, thank you, OK
Let's go
Let's descend quickly, hmmm...
Teacher this is a great thing that you have done
You made them sober up
Did you serve my food or not?
Teacher I made the bread some
time ago and the stew is also ready
Hmm.., have it on time
And I will leave, I am getting late
OK then
OK, greetings
Be on time tomorrow
OK
May they not surround me on the way
Hey!
Have you come to your Nana's house
Yes teacher
My father and I, we both stay at my Nana's house
Otherwise we are from Batala
Hey you from Batala
You speak too much
Whom did you ask while entering the class
Teacher you were teaching,
I thought why to disturb you
I made a mistake
There is a punishment for mistake
Go out of the class
And come in after asking again
(entire class laughs)
Ask now
What are you waiting for?
Teacher first move towards the blackboard
Oh come on ask now
Teacher then go with your back, like before
Come here
Come here, have you seen this stick
Go sit
I have left today to come on time from tomorrow.
Children
What is this?
Stick (entire class)
What is this?
Pencil (entire class)
Yes we can also say quill instead of pencil
And if we carve this stick
If we make it sharp, then slowly slowly
This stick can turn into a quill
So what is a stick used for
For beating (entire class)
Hmmmm...
And quill
For writing (entire class)
Gora
Yes sir, if I ask you which one
do you want from these two
Then what would be your answer
Sir, quill
Why quill
Sir the stick is only used for thrashing
Entire class laughs along with teacher
And Noor quill?
We can get a lot of work done with a quill
Bravo
So Children
That is why I want to make you understand
That you all are still a stick
And I want to make you into a quill
Will you become a quill
Yes (entire class)
Bravo
Then we do not need the stick
We will then
Throw it away (entire class)
Very nice
Hmmm...
Golu
Now tell me one thing
What do you want become when you grow up?
When I grow up I am going to sell
street food outside the school itself
My father says there is a lot of money in that
We will eat while we earn
Hm Hm Hm
Sit down
Gora
Now you tell what do you want
become when you grow up?
When I grow up, I will drive an auto rickshaw
I am not going to feed fodder
to the cattle like my father
I will earn money and along
with that I will enjoy the ride
(entire class giggles)
Hmm..
Noor what will you become
If my father had money, then I would
have become a pilot once I grew up
Ring-a-ring-a-rosies
ring-a-ring-a-rosies ring-a-ring-a-rosies
(Indistinguishable voice)
Teacher is just...
I think you are still thinking
about the dreams of the children
Leave it
Have tea
No
If dreams are such
Then there is no use of studying and teaching
These are not their own
dreams but of their parents
Hmm?
Their parents'
But why?
They all are just simple and illiterate folks
They don't have the level of thinking
That their child can also become an officer
Their only concern is that they
should learn the basic mathematics
That is why they don't make
them study after 5th grade
Hmm..
That is a very wrong thing
And second, the people like Sarpanch
They have fitted into their brains
That only private school
children can become officers
Not some poor person's child
Hmph..
The number of bricks that
you have put into the drain
If you would have saved them
Then by now you could
have built your own house
And the amount that you have taken out,
even you havent built your own
Don't speak too much
If you put this again then I will hit the
same brick into your husband's head
And I will hit the same brick into your husband's
head, who has brought someone like you
Who will win!
Lets see
Couldn't you have at least
asked something in advance
Now you are sitting in your
wife's home after leaving Batala
Go go inside
Don't ever do a manly thing in your life (sarcastic)
Now you go inside
Have whatever luxury food you want (sarcastic)
It is entirely my responsibility
to handle all the loosers
Oh what is all this fuss about
It seems like the border of India
and Pakistan, we should be careful
Still, we are the Sarpanch of the village,
we should at least know what is going on
You just wait and watch
I will ask the Sarpanch and get a
pothole dug right in front of your door
And I will also ask the same Sarpanch
And will get a ditch dug up over here
I say that we leave
No let's go, let's see what
is happening in the village
Here comes the sarpanch, talk to him now
What is the matter sisters-in-law
What could have been the matter
She puts the bricks in the drain here
The water gets clogged and the entire
wastage spreads right in front of my house
And Sarpanch if I dont put bricks here then
this wastage spreads in front of my house
Sarpanch listen to me with open ears
Either get a drain built here
Or else take this crazy lady to your own house
And Sarpanch, listen to me
If you want to get votes next year
Then get this brick fixed here permanently
Otherwise take her to your own house
Oh calm down calm down
We will install a sewage system in the village
We will end this drain mess altogether
You just be patient
OK
Don't fight OK!
Keep patience, hmph...
Let us also go now
(chatter)
Both of you are drinking my
blood and making my life hell
These crazy ladies speak very ill
Had a taste?
Oh Oh Oh
When the grant for drains is already here
Then why don't you get them made
It is already there.. in the books
Oh let me tell you I am not joking around
Even he is not joking around Sarpanch
We have spent the entire
money on our own streets
What is there left with us for them
Nothing!
This is also the truth
Go do anything but do something about them
They are not going to let me be able
to show my face in the village anymore
Oh we can get their done too, patch work
Don't you get your own
Let's go
You are again sitting on my seat
So what if I sat for two days, what will happen
You sat here yesterday and today as well
This is not how I should be,
you are sitting here daily
So what will happen
You show me how you will sit
You also show me how you will sit
Hey... Hey Jai Veeru
What happened to you today
You are fighting between each other
Go and sit still
Teacher I am not going to sit with him
Teacher I wont sit with him either
From today he is not Veeru but Gabbar for me
Hahaha
What such thing has happened?
I will tell you teacher
Yesterday Kalia and Saanva
had a fight for the drain
Meaning
Means that Golu's mother and
Gora's mother had fight for the drain
And they have ordered them to neither
sit together nor talk to each other
Oh OK...
I will see you later
What should be the solution for this now
There is only one solution for this
You will have to go to Ramgarh
Yes, OK!
Huh...
See, your this fight leaves a deep
impact on the mind of the children
But teacher
To pass daily through
wastage is very difficult for me
Otherwise, I also dont want to....
Hmmm!
Uh, to fight with her
But they also have to walk through wastage
Actually its not your problem
Its the problem of the Sarpanch
If he had done his work properly
then you wouldn't have fought in the first place
You are right teacher
He is the root of all problems
They are just involving
themselves in baseless fights
OK
You will not fight today onwards
Your fight has a deep impact on Gora's study
And if his study suffers
Then how will Gora become an officer
Hehehe (all laugh)
Lest he Should become a high ranking officer
High ranking officers don't fall from the sky
They also study in the school only
But he wouldn't have studied
in a government school, teacher
You also do something great only (sarcastic)
We may be illiterate
But not mad
Does somebody even get job after
studying in a government school?
This is the business of private and rich people
I wish
We also had this much money
One example is in front of you
I became a teacher after studying
from a government school
If you want a bigger example,
then see Dr. Abdul Kalam
The building of the school doesn't teach anything
The teacher is the one who teaches in a school
And in our schools, we have more
experienced and more educated teachers
Really teacher
Hmm..
You have opened our eyes teacher
Noor very good
Keep studying like this
Very beautiful
Bravo
Hmm..
Has the mid day meal arrived?
No
Why?
Hasn't is gone to Sarpanch's house
I have gone to his house 2-3 times
That mischievous person is again looking forward
to have the mid day meal for himself this time
It means that even today there
is nothing for children to have
You do one thing
Give the children a full day off
Let's go and ring the bell of Sarpanch
OK
(chatter) (school bell rings)
Mmmm...
Eat Billo eat, you are getting weak
Sonia!
Oh you also eat
Hehehe
Oh, greetings teacher, welcome
Uh.. is the school off
No
So
Gave it off
Why? meaning
You did not send the ration for children to school
So we gave them an off
Good work
Do this, give them an off for a week
Why to spoil it unwarranted, huh
(Cow moooos)
You are the one who is spoiling the grain
Me?
I am spoiling the grain
OK OK OK, hahaha
Why
I am just serving the creatures of God
Yes
Its a request
That from tomorrow,
the entire ration should reach the school
Otherwise it won't be long before
officials come to your doorstep
Why are you running behind my cows
First you made them homeless
Now you want to starve them as well
Huh..
What wrong have they done
to you, what will they do
I do not know about the cows, Sarpanch sir
But I will definitely do something
about your official service
Uhh
Have some tea
Thank you
Greetings (suppressed)
OK
Its OK for the teacher
Why does this servant show such attitude
Oh do it do it
Hm..
Only they can give milk, not the teacher, yes!
Sir, madam is here
Greetings mam
May I come in
Yes yes please sit
Tell me how may I serve you
My name is Balwinder Singh
I am the teacher in the Nanowal village school
But wasn't Baldev Singh ji over there
Hmm yes yes
He has been transferred
I have come in his place
OK OK I understand
Is everything good in the school
No mam
I wanted to talk about that only
Actually I knew about this in advance
But if the guard is conniving with
the thieves, then what can be done
Hmmm..
But I liked it that you cane here
Please fill out this application
And leave the rest to me
And yes
I will keep coming to the school myself
Thank you very much mam
If possible please come soon
Hmm..
How much, 250
Brar...
What..
How are you?
Balwinder...
Oh wow
How are you here
My sister-in-law lives in the next village
I was going there
Meet your sister-in-law later
You have met me after so long,
let's have a cup of tea
OK, let's have it
Balwinder, although we have become teachers
But it seems like we screwed up
True that
The problems that I have seen here
They have never come to my mind
Hmmm...
Sometimes there is the
mess about the mid day meal
Sometimes Sarpanch,
sometimes castism, sometimes rich-poor
Yes
I had thought everything would be over by now
First we used to get beaten up by
the police for taking out strikes
Now we will have to do it for our salaries
If we say something to the children then
its a problem and if not then its a problem
Where there is a need of 5 teachers,
they are cutting corners by employing just 1
And they are also put on some other work, tell me
My entire last week was spent in census
What could I have taught the children
Now the elections are ready
You are still in a better place there
are two teachers in your school
there is only one in mine
You can take a leave, I can't even do that
Hmph...
Let's leave it
Tell me how's is my sis
Oh that is also a mess
Nether the government let's us settle in
the school nor does she let me in the house
Keeps asking if the salary has been credited or not
Hehehe
You tell
I am also looking
Right now my attention is on my job
And I also think that my little
sister will also get married
Hmmm...
Then I will do something
Oh put less sugar in the tea
Oh can you ever bring good news also
The actions of the teacher don't
seem to be good, Sarpanch sir
First he got our cows removed from the school,
then the mid day meal and now this complaint
He will sink us
Hehehe
Oh he doesn't yet know about our reach
Let's see which officer comes
Oh I will just make one phone call
Huh.., don't stress, go
And Sarpanch sir today is Thursday,
we have to submit rice at the shrine as well
Ah.. ba.. submit them take them
Hey Billa, Take this rice sack outside
We have to submit it at the shrine,
Sarpanch sir, don't commit sin instead of virtue
The rice are going to be eaten
over there by the people not cattle
Oh we will ask the sweet maker
to wash them before cooking
And worms dont have bones, huh!
Which will get stuck in someone's mouth
They are God's creatures, huh.. take it
Wow
You are great Sarpanch sir
Grandfather

Then you will have to go to their village
They like Preet and want an answer
And son we are from the girl's side,

A leave for 2-3 days will be

Somebody dies in his relation,

Its OK you go on, I will handle here
Oh teacher I have been

You go on unconcerned
Oh leave it
The train will arrive in the next

Oh, has the train ever

Yes, this is possible that you might have to
wait for another half an hour on the station
Sure?
Yes sure
OK then
Take care of the children
Oh I am telling you that don't
worry, don't stress about it
I will handle myself,
I will take care of the children on my own
Take care
(phone rings)
Hello (hello) Uh just 5 more minutes, I am nearby
Oh leave it now, there is no need
I am nearby only just 5 more minutes
Its been 15 minutes since the train started
Really, yes
When did the trains here

May be from today
Hehehe
Sorry, I couldn't reach on time
Teacher should be punctual
Its OK come to Khunimajra
We will meet there only, OK see you then
OK, I will come
OK then, bye
You returned very early sir,
seems that the train arrived on time
Seems that he didn't like the boy
(chatter)
Of stop it, don't do it
(chatter)
Seems the train got missed
the teacher is irritated
Hey can't you sit still
Show me yesterdays homework
Show now
What did you do when you went home yesterday
Havent done the homework sir
We can do it here within 10 minutes
Hey
homework is what you do at home
Not in school
We have a lot to do at our home,
we cannot takeout time to do your homework
Shush
Hari...
Yes teacher
Its just on the stove, I will bring it
What, tea sir
Bring the stick not tea
(stick), stick
Yes
But teacher you yourself say that children
should be taught with love not stick
I have thrown away the stick
Hmmm...
OK then give me tea
OK I will bring it
OK go outside and bend down
Sir I won't bend down,
you can give me a couple extra hits
Why?
Oh sir, we feel ashamed in bending down
OK!
Watch out! don't start taking a shit
Hari has screwed up
He could have brought a new stick
We could have gotten 2 hits each
And matter over
The way our teacher is angry
I think he will leave us
only after we have laid eggs
Hey look over there, check out the beautiful girl
Yes brother, she seems quite beautiful
If we could have just been upright,
she would be lot more beautiful
Shut it
She might be the teacher's girlfriend
If the teacher comes to know,
he will punish us even more severely
And by the way she is you aunty
She would be your aunty!
Greetings
Greetings
Why are they bent down
Uhu..
Uh.. uh..
Hey go inside
No sir
We will leave only after
completing the entire punishment
That is the end of your
punishment, go inside now
Uh ha, they keep at these mischiefs the entire day
You tell, your purpose of the visit
Actually, we want to visit the Sarpanch
house in the matter of mid day meal
Ya
Yes yes, lets go
Is it a tradition here that you
should drink the tea alone
Uh.. sorry, I forgot due to haste
Hari, make another cup of tea
Hey!
I think she is the new teacher in the school
Sarpanch sir, when Baldev teacher was here
Then this all used to work
But to keep the mid day meal
anywhere except in the school, is illegal
So please
I don't have any personal vendetta against you
But do keep this in mind in the future
I know
That the teacher is angry with me
That is why all this is happening
Its my duty before that of the teacher
This was your last mid meal
Its enough now!
You may either take it as an advice or as a warning
Greetings
I don't think I need to make
you understand anymore
No sir, not at all
Hmph...
(Cow mooooos)
Hey stop it
Now its my time to moooo
Bring my stick, I will make them moooo
Grandfather, what is this mooooo
How do I explain it to you, I will show you
(beats the cows)
Thank you very much mam
You can also call me Harpreet
This was a matter of the children's future
So a heart felt thank you
It's my job
And I feel great that you think
so much about the children
Will meet soon
When?
Your face makes glares.....
By taking help from the sun
Today your body is perfumed
Taking the essence from the flowers
Your one hug will increase my age
Now its difficult to live without you
If I die then its a different thing
Now its difficult to live without you
If I die then its a different thing
If God has to give somebody beauty
Then He should give it like your's
If somebody is blessed
Then he should be like me
If God has to give somebody beauty,
then He should give it like your's
If somebody is blessed, then he should be like me
The one who is blessed with
This beautiful summer morning
Now its difficult to live without you,
if I die then its a different thing
If you are so concerned about
your mother, then make haste
And send your mother to my home
Sarpanch sir, would you mind I say something
If I mind won't you say it anyway, bark
Mmm...
Sarpanch
Now in the village
You have lost your repute
Mhmmm...
That teacher.... has become president
I have calculated
This time he will contest
equally against the Sarpanch
This is exactly what I was saying
That is why he is collecting his votes in the village
This cannot happen
Why?
First of all, he doesn't have a ration card
Second' the vote of the village
This is what I was saying
Haha... Haha
The point is valid but,
Sarpanch that person is cunning
Yes!
He is also well educated
He is also earning
This time during election,
he will equally contest against us
If he contest against us equally
Then mind it, he will defeat Sarpanch
Hey! do you want me to get a heart attack?
If you can't digest then don't drink
He will contest later but before
that you will get me heart stroke
Go! away form here
Lets go lets go, we are drunk enough
Yes go, run away
OK Sarpanch
They are mocking me!
If he really contests the election, then
(cow mooos)
Heheh, how can he contest, hehe
He doesnt have the village ration card, hahaha
Thank you Billo
M, M (whole class)
L, L (whole class)
O, O (whole class)
P, P (whole class)
Hehe
Myself Baldev Singh
The former teacher of the school
Huh, the cattle of the Sarpanch
are no where to be seen
The cattle of Sarpanch sir were very fond of him
So I sent them away
There are many changes in
the school after you came
Yes!
There was need as well
True
But it seems good
Great work has been done, hehe, huh
Baldev sir, we haven't done any favour to anybody
We just did our duty
Yes, sure sure, huh
By the way
Everybody should do it responsibly,
you must have also done it
Sure
In your new school
The government pays us
for this work, it is our duty
You had quite a barter system with Sarpanch sir
Hari told me
Sure sure
Sarpanch sir is a nice man
You should also be in his good books
I have already done it, you should do it as well
He is very fond of you just like the cattle
Hehe!
Today I am a little busy
We will sit some other day
OK
Do visit again
Uh.. OK
Take this
Sarpanch Sir
Isn't this the same Billo that
used to be tied in the school
Yes! its the same
The new teacher got them untied from there
He is a bit cunning
I met him
Cunning!
He put a stop to our mid day meal scam
He brought an officer and threatened me
Be cautious then Sarpanch sir
I was thinking he will stop
But it seems he will only stop
after doing some damage to us
He is a government man, don't mess with him
Uhh.. whoever come here, tries to scare me
This is a limit now
I am not trying to scare you
but make you understand
Understand! make me understand!
You are a government man
tell me the official thing
Otherwise walk away,
I am not of the right mind right now
This servant that you have kept, what is his work
Is he kept here to feed me fodder!?
He is here to feed fodder to the cattle
Imagine you sold the cattle
Why?
You should sometimes listen
to an ignorant man as well
Yes speak you ignorant man
Imagine you sold the cows
Will is stare at him?
I will throw him out
And dont waste my time, tell me straight forward
I will be straight forward now
how many children are there in our village school
Ah. ba ba 20-22
Government has passed a
new law for the new session
Hmm
That if a school has less than 20 children
Then they will be sent to the
school in the adjoining village
The current school will be shut down
Hehe
This means that I have to... 2-3 children...
This is how they say that iron cuts iron
No
That teacher is the enemy of teacher
Hello Madam! How are you?
I am doing good teacher
You tell
Leave it honey, at least you don't say it like that
Same to you
OK leave it!
Tell me how is your mother
She is good
Talked to her yesterday, today I did not get time
Then try doing it
OK!
If you are so concerned, then you do it
Should I send you the number?
That I can do but what will I say, who is talking?
Tell her, your daughter-in-law
Wow! teacher
By the way, have you told your mother about me
I told her a little, she said as I prefer
Then?
Then what!
I thought in my heart that I like you very much
Now what are you going to do next
Now next is an application
For what
To, Madam Harpreet Kaur
Subject: to get married
Really
Dear Madam,
I am employed as a teacher in
you neighboring village Nanowal
Hmm
And since the day I saw you,
I am thinking about you only
I think I have been poisoned in your love
Hmmm...
And I have done all the mathematics
And it equals
That I can't live without you
And finally I have come to the conclusion
That
I want to live my whole life with you
And I request you to allow me to send my
mother to your home for marriage proposal
And I also promise
That I will keep you happy your whole life
Your would be life partner, Balwinder Singh,
village Khnauri Kalan, rest you say
Wow teacher, to certify this it is important
to get he signatures of the parents
OK, then do your signature
Hahaha
Yes children
Yesterday we divided 4 by 2
Today we will divide 4 by 2
Who among you will do it
Teacher you haven't taught us this question
Then how will we do it
At least try
Teacher
Bravo Noor
Come and solve it
Half and half sir
Very Good
And what will we write half and half
One by two
Bravo Noor
How did you solve this question?
Oh sir yesterday night...
Children
Life may pose similar question in front of you
Which you may not have studied
But with your life experiences,
With your ability you can solve them
Like
Noor did it
Hey shopkeeper (Seth), give me some ointment,
I need to apply (yesterday a boy got beaten)
Oh it will be available with
you (with sticks, OK then)
At least look for it, take it from the one
who beat you (and when he went home,
his father started beating him)
Oh why beaten...
Hey couple
Come come, yes shopkeeper (lala)
Gora you want to go? lets go
Come come
Its been so many days,
you havent come to the shop!
We were afraid of him so we didn't come
Why, what do I say to you?
What do we know, thinking of yourself to
be male sparrow, you make us run again
Uhh, oh no son
You are like my children
If they are like your children
Then should we continue
listening to their remaining story
Hmm
Mmm..
Tell then
Sure?
Sure
One day after getting frustrated
from him brothers and sisters-in-law,
male sparrow got a female sparrow
The brothers of the male sparrow thought,
that he will partition their land into half
His sisters-in-law beat up the
female sparrow and sent her home
The male sparrow was
humiliated in the whole village
Everybody told him that his sparrow ran away
He got infuriated, he went home and
started fighting with his sisters-in-law
That you sent my sparrow home
Then, what happened then
Then what, they beat him up
and messed up his feathers
Hmm...
What should the male sparrow do,
drink cold water and die, What should the
male sparrow do, drink cold water and die
Come come come, Oh wow
Oh make haste
I have got some work with a lot of difficulty
Don't get me scolded on the first day itself
Would it take 4-5 days!
Yes, it seems so
Thank God
Really?
OK
I will leave
Noor wake up, have food, I have to go to work
Wake up daughter
Have tea
I have prepared food
Have it
I will leave for work
But mother, its Sunday today
Then what will I do alone at home
May I come along with you
Finally you are here!
Your aunt has been waiting for you from so long
Hm.. Hmm...
Grandfather, which four countries
share the border with our country
Our country's border
Ummm
Let me first read the newspaper son
After that I will tell you
I know sir
With China, Nepal, Pakistan and Bangladesh
Do you know tables?
Yes I know all the tables
And you
No
Here father, have tea
Give it here
Father, Submit Pappu's
fees in the school tomorrow
There have been many calls from the school lately
OK..
Listen to me..
Yes
Come here my child
You speak beautiful Punjabi
Which grade are you in
Sir in 5th
OK go play
Hey
Whats the matter
You ask
You ask
You ask
You ask
Why are asking me, ask him
Ask what do you want to ask?
Teacher if I ask,
then you won't make us bend down?
I will definitely, if the thing is such
The question is something which
will end up in us bending down
Hehe..
OK I won't make you, ask away
Teacher
That beautiful madam has
not since many days, why so?
Whats the matter?
See I told you don't ask
I do not know about the beautiful madam,
see Noor's mother upside down as well
Should I make her upright
Greetings Teacher
Greetings
I have come to pick up Noor,
Sarpanch sir is asking for her
What work does Sarpanch sir has with Noor
Uh..
That I do not know, this only Sarpanch sir can tell
Hmm
Noor
Go with your mother, OK
OK sir
OK go
Sit down here
Ummm
Principal Sir
Yes
Ask him some quest from the fifth grade
After independence, how many parts
was Punjab divided into and when?
Ummm
Sir you haven't taught this
You tell Noor
Hahaha!
Tell him child
What are you talking about Sarpanch sir
If Pappu who is so intelligent,
couldnt answer this question
How will she answer
I can ask her something simple
Uhun...
Yes child tell him
After independence Punjab
was divided into three parts
First was on 1st November
1966 and it was named Haryana
Wow.. Bravo
Second was 25th January, 1971
OK
Which was named Himachal Pradesh
What was left is now known as Punjab
Excellent! Very Good
Wow
Which School do you attend child
Oh sir the government
primary school in this village
Okay kids, you go and play
Bravo Noor Bravo
Yes Principal Sir
Do I spend so much so that...
My child can't even compete with
a student of a government school
The fees of Pappu alone can
cover the expenditure of all the
government school students
And this is the result!
Sarpanch Sir, you don't worry
Sarpanch sir do not worry,
we will arrange for extra tuition for Pappu
Sure!
Its your fault and I should pay tuition as well
Listen to me
I won't let Pappu attend your school
And I will tell everybody about your performance
I will see who attends your school
No Sarpanch sir, don't say like this
If Pappu doesn't go to school,
then others will also follow him
Not just this village, I will also withdraw
the children of the adjoining village
What can be done with a fees of Rs.
3, why spend a 1000 for the same
And the food is free
Sarpanch sir this way I will be ruined
I have taken out a loan in the name of the school
And the way we are ruined, what about that
Now, you only tell whats the solution to this
Solution is there
Either the 60 children of our
village will go to government school
Or the 20-22 students of the
government school of the village
Will attend your school
Meaning?
Meaning is straight
The 20-22 students of the government school
will study in your school and that also free
And if the government school shuts down
Then all students will study in only your school
Now the decision is yours
But Sarpanch Sir
The expenditure of 20 children,
it will damage me a lot
Whats the damage, its all an advantage for you
When the government school
shuts down, then do as you wish
And this is just one student of
government school that is so intelligent
If 20 government school
students come to your school
Then your school will achieve great fame
Be grateful that I am giving you this chance
Ummm
But... but till when will I
have to teach them for free
Till the time I don't get this school shut down
OK Sarpanch sir, I agree
OK Sarpanch sir
And principal sir, hmm..
Teach Punjabi as well to students
When Pappu talks to me in Hindi
He seems like a stranger
Sarpanch sir I fail to understand one thing
What will we gain if 20 children study for free
You wont understand!
I have
Killed three birds with one arrow
How is that
Look
The poor children of the village will
study in the private school for free
Hmm
Then I will definitely be
elected as Sarpanch next year
Hmmmm
Second
The school in the village will be shut down
Hehe! and third?
Third that when the school shuts down
Then the place of the ground will become vacant
Haha!
This I didn't even think about
You won't be able to think about it son!
If you had the brains to think this
then you would have been
Sarpanch and not panch
Have tea
Sorry for being late
No!
The children got me late
Sorry Madam
Ahem...
Teacher
Now get ready to convince me
like this form your whole life
Really!
Your application has been approved
Oh really!
I talked about us at home,
they have called you to meet them
Tell me when to go
Call your mother and come this Sunday to meet
I suggest that we call my mother
next Sunday and we meet them alone
Alright
Let Sunday just arrive soon now
Good
Have it
Villagers!
I saw
A village girl Noor, is very intelligent
And I know this too
That each child studying in the government
school of our village is very intelligent
I do not want Ruldu, that you son should
keep ruining on a rickshaw his entire life
And Pala
I don't want that your child should
ruin his entire life like you have
And Mela
You have spent yours through thick
and thin but have you ever thought
What will become of your kids
Hmm
And I
I have thought something about their future
If you all agree upon it
You ask us Sarpanch sir,
the life of our children should be settled
Correct
For a brighter future of the children of the village
I have decided this
That all the children of our village
Will study in expensive private
schools instead of government schools
And I will take care of the entire
expenditure of study from my own pocket
Applause
But Sarpanch sir, children are
already studying fine over here
And they have become
more intelligent than before
Then why go to private school
Don't you want
That your children should
study in AC, wear good uniforms
A bus will come, will pick the children
from home and drop them back
They will study in expensive schools,
big schools, only then they will get good jobs
Other wise they will be ruined in the village
I want that
That the children of our village
should go to big schools, bring fame
to our village and become big officers
And as the Sarpanch of this village
It is my duty to serve you all
Then Sarpanch sir should we send
the children from tomorrow itself?
Uh.. not from tomorrow
Because this year's exam forms
of the children have been filled
Huh...
From the next year
Every child of our village
Will study in private schools
Applaud, hehehe
Hoorah! to Sarpanch sir
Hey! its long live
Uh uh long live Sarpanch sir
Son you could have called your mother as well
We could have sat and talked
Oh my village is a bit far away
That's why
Will bring her next Sunday
Hmm
Okay
Then we will decide the date of the marriage
Will have to wait for some time for marriage
Why son?
Oh I wanted that
My younger sister should get married before that
My responsibility will decrease a little
Good
Very Good
You have a good thinking son
No problem, till that time we can get you engaged
OK sir
Rest, son you are wise yourself,
we are happy when you are
What ever you do will OK
OK lets leave it
Lets give them some time alone
They will decide for themselves
Yes daughter?
Say
What did want to say?
Dad asked us to talk alone
like we have never met before
I think mom dad are very eager to get rid of you
Why?
Why do you think so?
Thats why they are in a hurry to get you married
Then do hurry
Oh yes,
I just remembered
The boy that we are considering
for my sister, I had to go meet him
Then go
Only then something will happen about us
Really
Hmm
Lets never get angry with each other
And let there never be a difference between us
Lets never get angry with each other
And let there never be a difference between us
Lets spend with love
Lets spend with love
What ever days we get to live
If there is moon in my destiny,
then why should I look at the stars
You are the only pleasant sight in my life
And I dont want to live without you
You are the only pleasant sight in my
life and I dont want to live without you
Who has found God over here
Innocent people roam here and there
If there is God in the destiny, then why
should a man bang his head here and there
If there is God in the destiny, then why
should a man bang his head here and there
Your eye is like the blue ocean,
how do I get to swim in them
For true souls are made truer souls,
the outer beauty does not work
You are a thin branch of mulberry
I am like the plant of Babul
You say that I am like a swing
I say that you are like a ride
I will hold the stars in my hands
I you would swing my swing
If there is moon in my destiny,
then why should I look at the stars
If there is God in the destiny, then why
should a man bang his head here and there
If there is God in the destiny, then why
should a man bang his head here and there
Attention
Stand at ease
Attention
Whats the matter
The attendance is low today
Where are the rest of the students
Don't you know teacher?
The Sarpanch has made an
announcement for the children
What?
From the next year we all will
be admitted to private school
Hehhhe
4-5 students have already prepared themselves
That is why they did not come along
You know how much expenditure is involved
It will be the Sarpanch's as he is paying it
Now we will also sit alongside rich kids and study
And we will also wear new uniform
School bus will pick and drop us home
Hmm..
Uh
Sir I have been observing since the morning
You are stressed
Uh
May I ask
What he matter is?
Yes Hari
I am stressed from what Sarpanch said
Even I can't understand
The one who used to profiteer from
the mid day meal of the children
Where will he pay for the
expenditure of 20 children
Sarpanch has definitely put up some scheme
He has applied the scheme
To shut down the school
How's that sir?
The government has decided for the next session
That the schools that have less than 20 students
The should be shut down and
merged with the adjoining village
It means that neither
The students will be here not the school
Hmm
What should we do about it
You do one thing
You call the student's parents
OK sir
Between private and government schools
There is not much difference
The study over there is same as here
We change the school of our children
When they are worthless
But your children are studying very good
Its my guarantee that this time
they will pass with flying colours
But then also if you do not listen to me
Then this school will shut down
If this school shuts down then from the next
year private schools will do as they please
Teacher
Teacher
I agree that the children are
studying very good but till what time
What will be their future
Do you take the responsibility to
teach the children for the next 10 years?
All is not in my hands Sapranch sir
I am a government employee
When and where the government wants
It can transfer me
Hmmm
Look Teacher
When you don't know about your future transfer
Then how can you make such a big statement
Hm?
Look Teacher
You think about your own future
And to think about the future of the
children of my village, is my responsibility
And the future of my children is...
Private School
Wow Sarpanch sir
What a thought
Mmm!
Hmm..
Greetings
Lets go
This is to directly ruin the future of the children
Balwinder
You should stop this
What can I do in this?
Nobody understood me even
after I explained everything
Now what?
What now
I will be transferred after the exams
After sister's marriage
We will plan our future
The children due to whom our journey started
You are going to leave them!
Lest you should do the same to me
This is the limit
Teacher
I did not expect this from you
After showing somebody the way
To leave them in between before reaching
the destination, is not a very good thing
Either don't show somebody the way
If you have then lead them to the destination
Lest it should happen that because
of you some one might not belong
to either the future or the past
People speak the truth about
government schools and teachers
Uhh
Son
Your father spent his entire life for the children
Wherever he got transferred
He gave free tuition to the poor children
And used up his entire salary for them
Son
This is not a job for our family
But our duty
And
Your father
Took his last breath
While teaching in the school on his chair
Brother you know very well
That for our father we weren't his only children
But all the children of the
school were like his own children
And son
Treat all the children of the school as your own
Hmm
You stand with them during thick and thin times
Its very difficult to spend time without loved ones
The Sun doesn't set if the lover is not along
Its very difficult to spend time without loved
ones, the Sun doesn't set if the lover is not along
We can bare footed walk the long roads
Not even thorns hurt if lover is along
Its very difficult to spend time without loved
ones, the Sun doesn't set if the lover is not along
A man takes messes with the whole world
If the hand holds the hand of the lover
There is no defeat in any court of law
If there is somebody to take a side
Even moist sticks burn in an inferno
Without fire even dry grass doesn't burn
Its very difficult to spend time without loved
ones, the Sun doesn't set if the lover is not along
Come
Take it
No
What happened?
Today we will go only after
telling the remaining story
Hey!
Why do you want to get
you bones broken from me
Go! run away from here
Uncle, even if you kill us today
We will leave only after tell the whole story
Really!
Yes
I have kept it here, we won't go
Sons, you will have to tell the story today
I won't let let you leave today, OK start
When the brother of the male sparrow beat him,
then some learned person advised him
Hmm
What advice
Male sparrow went straight to land registrar
He got his land and house partitioned
Then the brothers of the male sparrow
started roaming in front and back of him
The very next day his sparrow returned
When his brothers tried to threaten then
Male sparrow got them arrested by the police
After that male sparrow
and his sparrow lived happily
Come here son
If you had told this story earlier
I would have been easy earlier
How could we have told this earlier
The end of this story has
been written by the teacher
We had narrated to him the story
of the male and female sparrow
hmm..
Take this
No No, take it
Take it
Won't take it
What to do
Take this
Uh.., this is also OK
We don't need this
Take it please
Kids opened my eyes today
Do you think?
This story could have started by us children
I already had a doubt
That you can't tell this story in such a young age
Tell me the truth
Who told you this story?
This man for the fun of it
And to break your heart
Oh no brother
Oh no
Oh dont take off your shoe
I will be humiliated in front of the children
OK shopkeeper (seth)
Let me give you a nice back oil massage
(beats him with his shoe)
Hey Sarpanch
That Teacher
Was speaking in front of the whole village
But you shut him up like anything
His attitude is such
I was telling you why are you stressing
You lost faith easily
We hadn't seen that side of yours
ever, you have made us happy
Hahaha
Oh I am saying that if he
comes in front of me... uh...
Oh. what did I wish for!
Hold me
Greetings Sarpanch Sir
Greetings! Greetings! Greetings!
I was coming to you only
Uh uh lets go home, have tea
I just need to talk
Yes
We can do it here
OK do it
I have organized a function in school
I want that lets put everything behind us
You should also attend
Will come
Definitely
Any which way there only 1-2 days left
before the results of the children come out
We don't if we may or may not meet again
Let us know if we can do anything
Thats it
I met you, this is enough
Uh.. OK
Greetings! Greetings!
Let's go
First of all
I am thankful to all of you
And Greetings to all
You joined us here on our invitation
We felt so good
The students of this school
Have prepared something for you
We hope that you'll like it
And now I would like to call
Gulab Singh Golu on the stage
And let him present before
you whatever he has prepared
(claps continue)
Hehehe, hehe
The tricolor flag made up of three colors
Always rains power
See it waves majestically on top of Indian peaks,
waves majestically
JAI HIND!
Praise the Indian nation
(claps continue)
Next student Gurwinder Singh alias Gora
He he he he (claps continue)
We want to establish that rule
In which humans do not loot other humans
and humans do not destroy other humans
If we get to form our own government,
then nobody will own personal property
The entire wealth and land of the
country will be co-owned by the
entire population equally and together
No one would have a caste or religion
Humanity will be the caste
and religion for everybody
Long live revolution,
Long live revolution, Long live revolution
(claps continue)
Now our next student Harnoor Kaur,
will recite a poem in front of you
(claps continue)
Greetings to everybody
Today I will present a poem
written by respected Navpreet Sidhu
You made us hold the finger of words oh teacher
You showed light to our darkness
Our life would have been destroyed by storms
You took our boat ashore oh teacher
How to tie together oceans and a pot
This study you made us do oh teacher
I pray that you have a long life
We won't be able to forget you oh teacher
Forget oh teacher
Greetings
(claps continue)
Grandfather I also want to learn Punjabi
Then only I will be able to recite a good poem
Hmmm...
Now I would like to request the Teacher
of this school to share his thoughts
And let us know how did he
feel about our village school
(claps continue)
First of all
Lovely Greetings to all of you
Welcome
and Thank you very much
for coming here at my request
I think I have
In this school
In this village
Only 2-3 days left
Hmhm..
That is why, due to the love
and affection you gave me
I organized today's this function
So that I can carry all of your
Love
All of your memories
Along with me
So now I come straight to my point
That the children are the future of
your home, your village and the country
And the foundation of the
future should be very strong
As is the foundation so is the building
And to make the building strong, the teacher
has the important role as that of a mason
Huh!
He has started with his lecture again
Its OK Sarpanch sir, its his last day, let him speak
So I request all the parents
That put your children into the right hands
It is not necessary that
School buses
Buildings
Or AC rooms have good in them
You can find good hands even
under the shade of sacred fig tree
So continue the children's education
Because only education can shape
and improve the future of children
So with this I apologise
if while I was here, I might have said something
wrong then forgive me as I was your own
Thank you all very much
(claps continue)
This Early in the morning! All good?
Everything is good
Do you have the newspaper?
No I have unsubscribed the
newspaper because I am leaving
You come with me
But tell me where to go?
its not needed to be told but seen
Come Come Come
Oh tell me Hello!
Tell me at least
Will somebody tell me what has happened?
I'll tell you teacher
Harnoor has topped in the entire Punjab
Gora has got second position in District
And this Golu, he has got third position in District
Here look at the newspaper
Hehehe
And one more thing sir
Sarpanch's grandson has failed
Teacher, we won't let you go
You stay here only, yes sir
Teacher, we don't want her
to be taught in private school
We are good with the village
school only, please stay here teacher
If you have dug the foundations,
then you will have to fill them as well
Yes! Yes! Yes! why not, we won't let you go
That is OK but our school
has a total of 22 children
7 are in 5th grade
And they are also going to big school
15 students are left behind
Then how are we going to run the school
We need at least 20 children to run the school
Teacher
He was also studying in a private school
Take care of him, now its 16
Teacher, now we have 18
Take my son, now its 19
Teacher, mine will also study here, take mine too
Now we have a total of 32, teacher
Not 32
What!, Sarpanch
33 teacher, hmm...
Go son, into your new school
We casually indulge in a false fame and show off
Otherwise there is no difference between
a private school and a government school
The proof is in front of everybody
I, bind my hands together and
ask for everybody's forgiveness
I am worried about this
That while running behind English
Lest we forget our mother tongue Punjabi
And also not forget that we are Punjabi
And you never focused on one thing
Your children go far away in the buses to study
2 hours to go and 2 to come back
This long distance affects the
mind and body of the child
Hmm..
The innocent child gets tired
Its better that
Your Child
Should study in your own village school
You are right madam
We should all work towards
the betterment of the school
And I will begin this from my own side
Hmm..
I will give 1 lakh from the official fund
so that the school can have a new room
And I will try that to get some
grant from the ministerial fund
Applaud, Sarpanch sir has done a great promise
Mundra, Sarpanch has hit the bullseye and
has confirmed his election for the next term
Applaud
You think nobody else here
knows anything except for teacher
Yes!
You havent even completed 5 years here
But I have been here for 15
years along with teachers
Eating and drinking,
bathing and teaching along with them
One thing is left, that also you
could have done with them only
(entire class laughs)
Hey! Hey! Come here come here
WHAT IS THIS? WHAT IS THIS?
7+5 equals 12 NOT! 13
But the last teacher taught us that
Baba Nanak has done 13-13 only
You dumb person!, this is addition and
subtraction, that was an essay on Baba Nanak
It means there is a difference between both?
Yes there is
But people say Baba Nanak never
differentiated between anybody
The Baba in Gurudwara was also
saying the same thing in the morning
Go ask him, has he ever followed
the path shown by Baba Nanak?
Hey! Study, Hey! Study, other-wise you will
only be eligible for feeding fodder to the cattle
Feeding fodder to the
cattle is wrong type of work?
(there my father is feeding fodder
to the cattle of the Sarpanch)
(This means that.....)
(My father is a very wrong man)
I have talked about addition and subtraction
you have started chasing cattle
Go Study!
OK Head master (sarcastic)
Now listen to me everybody
I am going to teach you tables
Listen and watch
3 into 9 equals 27
4 into 9.... mmmm
About this even I do not know
You also speak something
4 into 9 equals 35
This is wrong, 9 into 4 equals 36
Hmmm!
Very good, Bravo, I was testing this
only that If you can see right from wrong
Very good, Bravo Noor
Almost got me killed
You will only feed fodder
(entire class laughs)
Hey why are you looking at me and laughing
Study Study... or write 9 into 4 equals 37
(entire class laughs)
Who is this in a suit and boot?
Let me show him some
attitude by speaking English
Who are you?
The who corrects tables
(The who corrects tables?)
The new teacher of this school
Class stand! Jai Hind (entire class)
Greetings Teacher
Hmmm...
By the way
May I ask who are you?
Ia am the attendant of this school.... Hari Singh
Hmmm...
Your table seems a lot.... crooked to me
By the way... Is teaching
tables the duty of an attendant
No no... its for the teacher
The I will do your work
I will make tea for you
Why are you getting angry teacher
I will soon bring milk tea for you
Come... come along
Sit Sit
Thank you sir (entire class)
Chatter
Tea for you sir
By the way I failed to understand one thing...
Which one
If you are an attendant
Then why were you teaching the children?
He is not teaching us but confusing us
I will hit you in on the head with the tray!
Hmm...
The former teacher did not teach anything at all
Hmmm...
So...
I had the knowledge that you
were arriving three days later
They have exams ...
Hmmm...
OK!
I am just an attendant
I was attending to my duty
So that they can keep focusing on their studies
You know that otherwise it is difficult
to even get their brains to the school
Gora's brain is stuck in the tiffin box
You see the stick!
Yes... Its pretty thick
Shush
(Cow Moooos)
(class astonished)
Who will shut them up now
They also come to school to learn tables?
Whom do these belong to?
They belong to the Sarpanch
Why has the Sarpanch tied them here
Because they belong to the Sarpanch
But why has the Sarpanch tied them here?
Because he is the Sarpanch
So if he is the Sarpanch, he will tie the cattle here
Yes
Where else will that innocent
man tie them (sarcastic)
And it is an advantage for you...
Advantage! what advantage?
The tea that you are drinking!
It is made from their milk only
(giggles)
Actually the teacher who was formerly here
Used to have not only milk but also
curd from their milk only (Cow moooos...)
The cows are actually doing Class Stand
You are very naughty
Sit still
What is the name of the Sarpanch
Hakam Singh has become the sarpanch only
to relieve you of your pain and suffering
Sarpanch sir yesterday there was pure
mud coming out of my Submersible
Hey Sarpanch sir, my house is
right on the bank of the pond
People come here early in the
morning and start pooping
The atmosphere of my home
is worse than that of the water
Sarpanch sir
Please close this pond either by hook or by crook
If the pond gets closed, where will mine
and the Sarpanch's cattle take a bath
Then the cattle wont be the only thing that
takes bath here, malaria will also spread equally
I... I will do something about this
problem, Please do not worry
Hey... Hey Sarpanch sir we were to
attend the bhog, we are already late
Yes! We have to attend the bhog
Finish our matter first!
(Mixed chatter)
Oh Sarpanch sir, now my house is getting dirty
Catch the Sarpanch brothers, its a limit now
Its been six months since the grant came
Why hasn't the work on the pond started?
Sarpanch sir, from the last grant,
we put extra money into our
pockets which was meant for latrines
We had to do the accounting for that too
One installment was spent there only
So what now
Oh you don't worry about it,
tomorrow the second installment will arrive
I will get the work started,
they will settle down for some time
Yes, the work on the pond
should at least start in the books
Yes
No worries, we will dump
two trolleys tomorrow itself
No worries
You do this, you dump two
trolleys tomorrow itself
So that we can at least be
able to answer back to them
Hold this
Add a couple of chillies as well
shopkeeper (Lala ji), it won't kill you!
OK, I have, hold this!
Take this money
Make the previous payment as well, OK OK,
previous is also pending! Yes!, OK I will
Here comes the idler
Pushed out early morning
How are you shopkeeper (seth)
At least clean this,
somebody might need to sit here
You do it Idler!
Do tell
I am doing good
You sisters in law kicked you out of the house
in the morning after giving you bare food
What are you doing
Let me eat brother
Let you eat, why?
These are only extra for you
Here comes the dove couple... come come... come!
Come come... come!
Wow!
Give it here shopkeeper (Lala ji)
I will give you the chocolate
First tell me the story of the sparrow
Go on
I don't remember the one with the sparrow
OK then tell the one that you know
We can tell the one with the male sparrow
Go on then
What should the sparrow do,
drink cold water and die!
The used to be a male sparrow living in a village
The sparrows were three brothers
They had thirty acres of land in their name
Both of the brothers of the
male sparrow got married
But they didnt let the male sparrow get married
The innocent male sparrow used to serve
his brothers and sisters in law like a mule
Then...
Then what, early morning after getting
whooped, he used to sit at a random shop
Hey shopkeeper (Seth)
Brother why does this story
Sound similar to my own
Doesn't sound similar, it is your's only
(Laughter)
Wait you menaces, you tease me the whole day!
Where will you run I am right behind you
Oh I haven't even recovered half of
my investment for sarpanch election
You are thinking about
opening a park in the village
Oh even we haven't recovered Sarpanch sir
But there is a a lot of pressure from above
But at least we have to show
some empty space for the park
I am thinking about taking into
possession the cremation place
Greetings Sarpanch sir

Very good
Oh the entire credit goes
to the private school, haha
That is quite visible (muffled)
Grandfather may I go inside,
I have do my school work (speaks in Hindi)
Go son
Hehe
Sarpanch sir in this private school,
this Hindi speaking is not right
This makes the child soft, just very soft
Hmmm!
Hehe (uncomfortable smile)
Uh, now can we leave the private
talk and do some official talk
O.. o.. o.. official talk, what,
official talk, official talk
Hmmm? Hmmm?
Which official talk
Hmm..
We have a request
Uh.. tell us the request
Ahem
Those cattle of yours that are tied in the school
They are causing a lot of
disturbance in the studies
Hahaha
But this is the only request
That please untie them from there
Laughing mockingly
Oh the cattle are not going
to study and become officers
The cattle are going to do labour work
So let the cattle stay with the cattle
Laughing mockingly
Sarpanch sir
Untie your cattle by tomorrow
Lest it should happen
Only chains are left in the place of cattle
Chains can be bought anew
but the post will stay there only
Hahaha
I know how to unearth them as well
I also know how to twist my finger
Thank you
Thank you (muffled)
What did he say
What is this that the teacher said Sarpanch sir
Sarpanch sir and wise man can use as well
What is the need to dirty the finger
I think this teacher is also crazy, Hahaha...
(School bell ringing)
Hmmm.
Hm Hm
Jai Hind!
Sit sit sit
Thank you
Hey, what is this
Is this a class or a vegetable market?
Teacher, this all is for you
Why?
Is the a festival going on?
Oh no no, there is no festival,
I will tell you what the real story is
Yes, tell me what it is
The former teacher Baldev had a
bad habit of asking the children to
get things for him from their home
But why do parents do these things
This I fail to understand
Oh teacher you are very innocent
They were afraid that he might fail their children
Poor people, afraid they kept giving these things
This is the limit
If the teacher thinks this way,
they what would he teach the children
Children!
Go home and tell your parents that they
do not need to send these things anymore
The how will we pass teacher
For passing you will have to study
The student who will study, only he/she will pass
And those who come first,
second and third will also be rewarded
So teacher what should we do about this now
What Baba Nanak had done
Hehe
Come on children, lets share and eat
Teacher
Today I got to know one thing
Like a child is incomplete without parents
A child cannot be complete
without an honest teacher
Hari
If the roots of a plant are strong
Only then will it give fruit
So it is important
At the right time
In the right quantity
The plant should be watered
Hmmph...
Hmm..
What is this?
This is the mid-day meal
Oh this is rotten with worms
If you ask, its not rotten with normal
worms but mega worms which are 6 feet long
Meaning?
Meaning Sarpanch
The ration we get for mid
day meal, he keeps for himself
And this ration, which is rotten,
where did this come from
This too from the Sarpanch's house
What ever is leftover, he gives to us
Hmphh!
This is the limit
The ration that should come to the
school, how did it reach his house
Baldev teacher...
Sarpanch and Baldev
teacher were both conniving
Hmmmm...
Both worms ate many drums of wheat and rice
Hm..
Ahem
Teacher
Yes
Do something about them as well
Hmmm..
Greetings mother
Greetings son (over the phone)
Are you OK?
Have you eaten food son?
No no mother, not yet
Hari is preparing
Then it is very difficult son
When can men prepare food..
Hehehe
No no mother don't say like this
In the matter of food,
Hari doesn't let me remember you
(smiles)
He cooks delicious food
Hahaha
Then it is a great thing
Son
We miss you a lot
Look, we are two ladies in the house
The house is overwhelming for us
You tell
Are you settling down OK
How is the school
Mother the school is also very good
And the children are also very nice
And let me eat food prepared
by Hari for some more days
Son...
One can get tasty food somewhere else
But not mother
Where else will I go mother
Uhh
Mother I have to disconnect the call,
I think there is somebody over
Greetings teacher
Greetings Sarpanch sir
This late at night!
Is everything OK?
Oh even if something is not OK,
then it will be OK now
Bring it
Eh.. ahahaha
What is this?
Emmmm...
I told you that we should bring an English bottle
He is a learned man, why would he like moonshine
Sarpanch sir, I asked you something
This... Ababbbb... welcome, in English welcome
I regret that as I was busy I couldn't meet you
I am even happier now that I learned
that your first posting is in our village
That is why I have myself come to welcome you
This, take take
Thank you Sarpanch sir
But I do not consume liquor
Not English
Not moonshine
Oh teacher
I think you are still offended
But your being offended is valid
When I became the Sarpanch
of the village for the first time
Even I used to think that I would
turn my village into Chandigarh
You would also be having the
same thoughts about the school
Not just thought..
I will
Teacher! you drink up
And students of government
school don't have a future, uhuh...
Sarpanch sir
I have also acquired this government job
after studying from a government school
Then why won't they have a future
Oh teacher
You get angry very much
I didnt meant to say this
Hmmm...
Then what was the meaning
Umm I meant to say that, lets see
A total of 60 children from our
village are studying in school
Hmmm...
38 in private school
And 22 are studying in government school
Hmm...
But if after studying in government school,
children start becoming officers
Then who will work in our fields,
mind our cattle work and do our labour work?
Hmm..
Don't you stress about it, have a large peg
Oh make a large one
Right away sir
I told you already
That I do not drink
Hehe...
Why are we annoying the teacher, Sarpanch sir
I will have his peg as well
Hmmmm...
Should I make yours
Oh, its a Thursday for me today
OK teacher
You have your food
We... ahem
Hm..
Then give us permission to leave
Hmmm...
Let's go, you stand
Hm..
OK, thank you
OK, greetings
Huh
Sarpanch sir
Huh..
Take this along as well
Its of no use to me
Oh pick it up, eh eh, hehehe
Hehehe, thank you, OK
Let's go
Let's descend quickly, hmmm...
Teacher this is a great thing that you have done
You made them sober up
Did you serve my food or not?
Teacher I made the bread some
time ago and the stew is also ready
Hmm.., have it on time
And I will leave, I am getting late
OK then
OK, greetings
Be on time tomorrow
OK
May they not surround me on the way
Hey!
Have you come to your Nana's house
Yes teacher
My father and I, we both stay at my Nana's house
Otherwise we are from Batala
Hey you from Batala
You speak too much
Whom did you ask while entering the class
Teacher you were teaching,
I thought why to disturb you
I made a mistake
There is a punishment for mistake
Go out of the class
And come in after asking again
(entire class laughs)
Ask now
What are you waiting for?
Teacher first move towards the blackboard
Oh come on ask now
Teacher then go with your back, like before
Come here
Come here, have you seen this stick
Go sit
I have left today to come on time from tomorrow.
Children
What is this?
Stick (entire class)
What is this?
Pencil (entire class)
Yes we can also say quill instead of pencil
And if we carve this stick
If we make it sharp, then slowly slowly
This stick can turn into a quill
So what is a stick used for
For beating (entire class)
Hmmmm...
And quill
For writing (entire class)
Gora
Yes sir, if I ask you which one
do you want from these two
Then what would be your answer
Sir, quill
Why quill
Sir the stick is only used for thrashing
Entire class laughs along with teacher
And Noor quill?
We can get a lot of work done with a quill
Bravo
So Children
That is why I want to make you understand
That you all are still a stick
And I want to make you into a quill
Will you become a quill
Yes (entire class)
Bravo
Then we do not need the stick
We will then
Throw it away (entire class)
Very nice
Hmmm...
Golu
Now tell me one thing
What do you want become when you grow up?
When I grow up I am going to sell
street food outside the school itself
My father says there is a lot of money in that
We will eat while we earn
Hm Hm Hm
Sit down
Gora
Now you tell what do you want
become when you grow up?
When I grow up, I will drive an auto rickshaw
I am not going to feed fodder
to the cattle like my father
I will earn money and along
with that I will enjoy the ride
(entire class giggles)
Hmm..
Noor what will you become
If my father had money, then I would
have become a pilot once I grew up
Ring-a-ring-a-rosies
ring-a-ring-a-rosies ring-a-ring-a-rosies
(Indistinguishable voice)
Teacher is just...
I think you are still thinking
about the dreams of the children
Leave it
Have tea
No
If dreams are such
Then there is no use of studying and teaching
These are not their own
dreams but of their parents
Hmm?
Their parents'
But why?
They all are just simple and illiterate folks
They don't have the level of thinking
That their child can also become an officer
Their only concern is that they
should learn the basic mathematics
That is why they don't make
them study after 5th grade
Hmm..
That is a very wrong thing
And second, the people like Sarpanch
They have fitted into their brains
That only private school
children can become officers
Not some poor person's child
Hmph..
The number of bricks that
you have put into the drain
If you would have saved them
Then by now you could
have built your own house
And the amount that you have taken out,
even you havent built your own
Don't speak too much
If you put this again then I will hit the
same brick into your husband's head
And I will hit the same brick into your husband's
head, who has brought someone like you
Who will win!
Lets see
Couldn't you have at least
asked something in advance
Now you are sitting in your
wife's home after leaving Batala
Go go inside
Don't ever do a manly thing in your life (sarcastic)
Now you go inside
Have whatever luxury food you want (sarcastic)
It is entirely my responsibility
to handle all the loosers
Oh what is all this fuss about
It seems like the border of India
and Pakistan, we should be careful
Still, we are the Sarpanch of the village,
we should at least know what is going on
You just wait and watch
I will ask the Sarpanch and get a
pothole dug right in front of your door
And I will also ask the same Sarpanch
And will get a ditch dug up over here
I say that we leave
No let's go, let's see what
is happening in the village
Here comes the sarpanch, talk to him now
What is the matter sisters-in-law
What could have been the matter
She puts the bricks in the drain here
The water gets clogged and the entire
wastage spreads right in front of my house
And Sarpanch if I dont put bricks here then
this wastage spreads in front of my house
Sarpanch listen to me with open ears
Either get a drain built here
Or else take this crazy lady to your own house
And Sarpanch, listen to me
If you want to get votes next year
Then get this brick fixed here permanently
Otherwise take her to your own house
Oh calm down calm down
We will install a sewage system in the village
We will end this drain mess altogether
You just be patient
OK
Don't fight OK!
Keep patience, hmph...
Let us also go now
(chatter)
Both of you are drinking my
blood and making my life hell
These crazy ladies speak very ill
Had a taste?
Oh Oh Oh
When the grant for drains is already here
Then why don't you get them made
It is already there.. in the books
Oh let me tell you I am not joking around
Even he is not joking around Sarpanch
We have spent the entire
money on our own streets
What is there left with us for them
Nothing!
This is also the truth
Go do anything but do something about them
They are not going to let me be able
to show my face in the village anymore
Oh we can get their done too, patch work
Don't you get your own
Let's go
You are again sitting on my seat
So what if I sat for two days, what will happen
You sat here yesterday and today as well
This is not how I should be,
you are sitting here daily
So what will happen
You show me how you will sit
You also show me how you will sit
Hey... Hey Jai Veeru
What happened to you today
You are fighting between each other
Go and sit still
Teacher I am not going to sit with him
Teacher I wont sit with him either
From today he is not Veeru but Gabbar for me
Hahaha
What such thing has happened?
I will tell you teacher
Yesterday Kalia and Saanva
had a fight for the drain
Meaning
Means that Golu's mother and
Gora's mother had fight for the drain
And they have ordered them to neither
sit together nor talk to each other
Oh OK...
I will see you later
What should be the solution for this now
There is only one solution for this
You will have to go to Ramgarh
Yes, OK!
Huh...
See, your this fight leaves a deep
impact on the mind of the children
But teacher
To pass daily through
wastage is very difficult for me
Otherwise, I also dont want to....
Hmmm!
Uh, to fight with her
But they also have to walk through wastage
Actually its not your problem
Its the problem of the Sarpanch
If he had done his work properly
then you wouldn't have fought in the first place
You are right teacher
He is the root of all problems
They are just involving
themselves in baseless fights
OK
You will not fight today onwards
Your fight has a deep impact on Gora's study
And if his study suffers
Then how will Gora become an officer
Hehehe (all laugh)
Lest he Should become a high ranking officer
High ranking officers don't fall from the sky
They also study in the school only
But he wouldn't have studied
in a government school, teacher
You also do something great only (sarcastic)
We may be illiterate
But not mad
Does somebody even get job after
studying in a government school?
This is the business of private and rich people
I wish
We also had this much money
One example is in front of you
I became a teacher after studying
from a government school
If you want a bigger example,
then see Dr. Abdul Kalam
The building of the school doesn't teach anything
The teacher is the one who teaches in a school
And in our schools, we have more
experienced and more educated teachers
Really teacher
Hmm..
You have opened our eyes teacher
Noor very good
Keep studying like this
Very beautiful
Bravo
Hmm..
Has the mid day meal arrived?
No
Why?
Hasn't is gone to Sarpanch's house
I have gone to his house 2-3 times
That mischievous person is again looking forward
to have the mid day meal for himself this time
It means that even today there
is nothing for children to have
You do one thing
Give the children a full day off
Let's go and ring the bell of Sarpanch
OK
(chatter) (school bell rings)
Mmmm...
Eat Billo eat, you are getting weak
Sonia!
Oh you also eat
Hehehe
Oh, greetings teacher, welcome
Uh.. is the school off
No
So
Gave it off
Why? meaning
You did not send the ration for children to school
So we gave them an off
Good work
Do this, give them an off for a week
Why to spoil it unwarranted, huh
(Cow moooos)
You are the one who is spoiling the grain
Me?
I am spoiling the grain
OK OK OK, hahaha
Why
I am just serving the creatures of God
Yes
Its a request
That from tomorrow,
the entire ration should reach the school
Otherwise it won't be long before
officials come to your doorstep
Why are you running behind my cows
First you made them homeless
Now you want to starve them as well
Huh..
What wrong have they done
to you, what will they do
I do not know about the cows, Sarpanch sir
But I will definitely do something
about your official service
Uhh
Have some tea
Thank you
Greetings (suppressed)
OK
Its OK for the teacher
Why does this servant show such attitude
Oh do it do it
Hm..
Only they can give milk, not the teacher, yes!
Sir, madam is here
Greetings mam
May I come in
Yes yes please sit
Tell me how may I serve you
My name is Balwinder Singh
I am the teacher in the Nanowal village school
But wasn't Baldev Singh ji over there
Hmm yes yes
He has been transferred
I have come in his place
OK OK I understand
Is everything good in the school
No mam
I wanted to talk about that only
Actually I knew about this in advance
But if the guard is conniving with
the thieves, then what can be done
Hmmm..
But I liked it that you cane here
Please fill out this application
And leave the rest to me
And yes
I will keep coming to the school myself
Thank you very much mam
If possible please come soon
Hmm..
How much, 250
Brar...
What..
How are you?
Balwinder...
Oh wow
How are you here
My sister-in-law lives in the next village
I was going there
Meet your sister-in-law later
You have met me after so long,
let's have a cup of tea
OK, let's have it
Balwinder, although we have become teachers
But it seems like we screwed up
True that
The problems that I have seen here
They have never come to my mind
Hmmm...
Sometimes there is the
mess about the mid day meal
Sometimes Sarpanch,
sometimes castism, sometimes rich-poor
Yes
I had thought everything would be over by now
First we used to get beaten up by
the police for taking out strikes
Now we will have to do it for our salaries
If we say something to the children then
its a problem and if not then its a problem
Where there is a need of 5 teachers,
they are cutting corners by employing just 1
And they are also put on some other work, tell me
My entire last week was spent in census
What could I have taught the children
Now the elections are ready
You are still in a better place there
are two teachers in your school
there is only one in mine
You can take a leave, I can't even do that
Hmph...
Let's leave it
Tell me how's is my sis
Oh that is also a mess
Nether the government let's us settle in
the school nor does she let me in the house
Keeps asking if the salary has been credited or not
Hehehe
You tell
I am also looking
Right now my attention is on my job
And I also think that my little
sister will also get married
Hmmm...
Then I will do something
Oh put less sugar in the tea
Oh can you ever bring good news also
The actions of the teacher don't
seem to be good, Sarpanch sir
First he got our cows removed from the school,
then the mid day meal and now this complaint
He will sink us
Hehehe
Oh he doesn't yet know about our reach
Let's see which officer comes
Oh I will just make one phone call
Huh.., don't stress, go
And Sarpanch sir today is Thursday,
we have to submit rice at the shrine as well
Ah.. ba.. submit them take them
Hey Billa, Take this rice sack outside
We have to submit it at the shrine,
Sarpanch sir, don't commit sin instead of virtue
The rice are going to be eaten
over there by the people not cattle
Oh we will ask the sweet maker
to wash them before cooking
And worms dont have bones, huh!
Which will get stuck in someone's mouth
They are God's creatures, huh.. take it
Wow
You are great Sarpanch sir
Grandfather
I want to go play
Yes son, I will take you there
Oh wow Sarpanch sir, your Hindi has
improved very much, hehehe, (take you there)
Hindi is OK
My my Punjabi not go bad
May he not forget Punjabi! (sarcastic)
So what!
(phone rings)
Greetings mother, I touch your feet
Blessings to you, are you OK?
Have you had food
Yes yes I had food, just going to sleep
Mother
Son, I called you because
That the guy we are considering for Preet
He will come to the village next to you
OK
You meet him and talk to him over there
Will get to know how the person is
But I have to go to school tomorrow,
it will be difficult tomorrow
I will go some other day
They are eagerly waiting for an answer
If you don't go tomorrow,
then you will have to take a leave of two days
Then you will have to go to their village
They like Preet and want an answer
And son we are from the girl's side,
you see how you want to do
A leave for 2-3 days will be
extremely difficult for me mother
This school doesn't have another teacher
And I cannot close the school
Then I will do one thing
I will go there tomorrow itself
Aham, OK then
Do let me know how it went
OK, OK now got sleep, its late now
OK mother, I touch your feet, blessings to you son
Mother tea, give here daughter
(Phone ringing)
Yes Balwinder
I had some work with you
Yes, tell
Tomorrow I have to go for
some work for 2-3 hours
Can you come to school
I told you that I am alone here
And you know about the Sarpanch
He may lodge a complaint unwarranted
that there is nobody in the school
Yes yes, don't stress, I will come
Hm OK thank you
Come on time
I will I will, good night
Good night
Oh hello, (hello), why didn't you come
Where?, in the school

At what time
This is the limit brother
10 o'clock
Oho...
Oh I was posted at the census collection
I was very exhausted
I had 2-3 pegs
I forgot
I am going to my in-laws,
my grandfather-in-law has expired
Oho...
Its OK, you go on
I will see something
OK
What did he say?
Somebody dies in his relation,
that's why he couldn't make it
Its OK you go on, I will handle here
Oh teacher I have been
handling things here before you
You go on unconcerned
Oh leave it
The train will arrive in the next
15 minutes, how will I reach
Oh, has the train ever
reached on time in our country
Yes, this is possible that you might have to
wait for another half an hour on the station
Sure?
Yes sure
OK then
Take care of the children
Oh I am telling you that don't
worry, don't stress about it
I will handle myself,
I will take care of the children on my own
Take care
(phone rings)
Hello (hello) Uh just 5 more minutes, I am nearby
Oh leave it now, there is no need
I am nearby only just 5 more minutes
Its been 15 minutes since the train started
Really, yes
When did the trains here
start coming 15 minutes earlier
May be from today
Hehehe
Sorry, I couldn't reach on time
Teacher should be punctual
Its OK come to Khunimajra
We will meet there only, OK see you then
OK, I will come
OK then, bye
You returned very early sir,
seems that the train arrived on time
Seems that he didn't like the boy
(chatter)
Of stop it, don't do it
(chatter)
Seems the train got missed
the teacher is irritated
Hey can't you sit still
Show me yesterdays homework
Show now
What did you do when you went home yesterday
Havent done the homework sir
We can do it here within 10 minutes
Hey
homework is what you do at home
Not in school
We have a lot to do at our home,
we cannot takeout time to do your homework
Shush
Hari...
Yes teacher
Its just on the stove, I will bring it
What, tea sir
Bring the stick not tea
(stick), stick
Yes
But teacher you yourself say that children
should be taught with love not stick
I have thrown away the stick
Hmmm...
OK then give me tea
OK I will bring it
OK go outside and bend down
Sir I won't bend down,
you can give me a couple extra hits
Why?
Oh sir, we feel ashamed in bending down
OK!
Watch out! don't start taking a shit
Hari has screwed up
He could have brought a new stick
We could have gotten 2 hits each
And matter over
The way our teacher is angry
I think he will leave us
only after we have laid eggs
Hey look over there, check out the beautiful girl
Yes brother, she seems quite beautiful
If we could have just been upright,
she would be lot more beautiful
Shut it
She might be the teacher's girlfriend
If the teacher comes to know,
he will punish us even more severely
And by the way she is you aunty
She would be your aunty!
Greetings
Greetings
Why are they bent down
Uhu..
Uh.. uh..
Hey go inside
No sir
We will leave only after
completing the entire punishment
That is the end of your
punishment, go inside now
Uh ha, they keep at these mischiefs the entire day
You tell, your purpose of the visit
Actually, we want to visit the Sarpanch
house in the matter of mid day meal
Ya
Yes yes, lets go
Is it a tradition here that you
should drink the tea alone
Uh.. sorry, I forgot due to haste
Hari, make another cup of tea
Hey!
I think she is the new teacher in the school
Sarpanch sir, when Baldev teacher was here
Then this all used to work
But to keep the mid day meal
anywhere except in the school, is illegal
So please
I don't have any personal vendetta against you
But do keep this in mind in the future
I know
That the teacher is angry with me
That is why all this is happening
Its my duty before that of the teacher
This was your last mid meal
Its enough now!
You may either take it as an advice or as a warning
Greetings
I don't think I need to make
you understand anymore
No sir, not at all
Hmph...
(Cow mooooos)
Hey stop it
Now its my time to moooo
Bring my stick, I will make them moooo
Grandfather, what is this mooooo
How do I explain it to you, I will show you
(beats the cows)
Thank you very much mam
You can also call me Harpreet
This was a matter of the children's future
So a heart felt thank you
It's my job
And I feel great that you think
so much about the children
Will meet soon
When?
Your face makes glares.....
By taking help from the sun
Today your body is perfumed
Taking the essence from the flowers
Your one hug will increase my age
Now its difficult to live without you
If I die then its a different thing
Now its difficult to live without you
If I die then its a different thing
If God has to give somebody beauty
Then He should give it like your's
If somebody is blessed
Then he should be like me
If God has to give somebody beauty,
then He should give it like your's
If somebody is blessed, then he should be like me
The one who is blessed with
This beautiful summer morning
Now its difficult to live without you,
if I die then its a different thing
If you are so concerned about
your mother, then make haste
And send your mother to my home
Sarpanch sir, would you mind I say something
If I mind won't you say it anyway, bark
Mmm...
Sarpanch
Now in the village
You have lost your repute
Mhmmm...
That teacher.... has become president
I have calculated
This time he will contest
equally against the Sarpanch
This is exactly what I was saying
That is why he is collecting his votes in the village
This cannot happen
Why?
First of all, he doesn't have a ration card
Second' the vote of the village
This is what I was saying
Haha... Haha
The point is valid but,
Sarpanch that person is cunning
Yes!
He is also well educated
He is also earning
This time during election,
he will equally contest against us
If he contest against us equally
Then mind it, he will defeat Sarpanch
Hey! do you want me to get a heart attack?
If you can't digest then don't drink
He will contest later but before
that you will get me heart stroke
Go! away form here
Lets go lets go, we are drunk enough
Yes go, run away
OK Sarpanch
They are mocking me!
If he really contests the election, then
(cow mooos)
Heheh, how can he contest, hehe
He doesnt have the village ration card, hahaha
Thank you Billo
M, M (whole class)
L, L (whole class)
O, O (whole class)
P, P (whole class)
Hehe
Myself Baldev Singh
The former teacher of the school
Huh, the cattle of the Sarpanch
are no where to be seen
The cattle of Sarpanch sir were very fond of him
So I sent them away
There are many changes in
the school after you came
Yes!
There was need as well
True
But it seems good
Great work has been done, hehe, huh
Baldev sir, we haven't done any favour to anybody
We just did our duty
Yes, sure sure, huh
By the way
Everybody should do it responsibly,
you must have also done it
Sure
In your new school
The government pays us
for this work, it is our duty
You had quite a barter system with Sarpanch sir
Hari told me
Sure sure
Sarpanch sir is a nice man
You should also be in his good books
I have already done it, you should do it as well
He is very fond of you just like the cattle
Hehe!
Today I am a little busy
We will sit some other day
OK
Do visit again
Uh.. OK
Take this
Sarpanch Sir
Isn't this the same Billo that
used to be tied in the school
Yes! its the same
The new teacher got them untied from there
He is a bit cunning
I met him
Cunning!
He put a stop to our mid day meal scam
He brought an officer and threatened me
Be cautious then Sarpanch sir
I was thinking he will stop
But it seems he will only stop
after doing some damage to us
He is a government man, don't mess with him
Uhh.. whoever come here, tries to scare me
This is a limit now
I am not trying to scare you
but make you understand
Understand! make me understand!
You are a government man
tell me the official thing
Otherwise walk away,
I am not of the right mind right now
This servant that you have kept, what is his work
Is he kept here to feed me fodder!?
He is here to feed fodder to the cattle
Imagine you sold the cattle
Why?
You should sometimes listen
to an ignorant man as well
Yes speak you ignorant man
Imagine you sold the cows
Will is stare at him?
I will throw him out
And dont waste my time, tell me straight forward
I will be straight forward now
how many children are there in our village school
Ah. ba ba 20-22
Government has passed a
new law for the new session
Hmm
That if a school has less than 20 children
Then they will be sent to the
school in the adjoining village
The current school will be shut down
Hehe
This means that I have to... 2-3 children...
This is how they say that iron cuts iron
No
That teacher is the enemy of teacher
Hello Madam! How are you?
I am doing good teacher
You tell
Leave it honey, at least you don't say it like that
Same to you
OK leave it!
Tell me how is your mother
She is good
Talked to her yesterday, today I did not get time
Then try doing it
OK!
If you are so concerned, then you do it
Should I send you the number?
That I can do but what will I say, who is talking?
Tell her, your daughter-in-law
Wow! teacher
By the way, have you told your mother about me
I told her a little, she said as I prefer
Then?
Then what!
I thought in my heart that I like you very much
Now what are you going to do next
Now next is an application
For what
To, Madam Harpreet Kaur
Subject: to get married
Really
Dear Madam,
I am employed as a teacher in
you neighboring village Nanowal
Hmm
And since the day I saw you,
I am thinking about you only
I think I have been poisoned in your love
Hmmm...
And I have done all the mathematics
And it equals
That I can't live without you
And finally I have come to the conclusion
That
I want to live my whole life with you
And I request you to allow me to send my
mother to your home for marriage proposal
And I also promise
That I will keep you happy your whole life
Your would be life partner, Balwinder Singh,
village Khnauri Kalan, rest you say
Wow teacher, to certify this it is important
to get he signatures of the parents
OK, then do your signature
Hahaha
Yes children

Then how will we do it
At least try
Teacher
Bravo Noor
Come and solve it
Half and half sir
Very Good
And what will we write half and half
One by two
Bravo Noor
How did you solve this question?
Oh sir yesterday night...
Children
Life may pose similar question in front of you
Which you may not have studied
But with your life experiences,
With your ability you can solve them
Like
Noor did it
Hey shopkeeper (Seth), give me some ointment,
I need to apply (yesterday a boy got beaten)
Oh it will be available with
you (with sticks, OK then)
At least look for it, take it from the one
who beat you (and when he went home,
his father started beating him)
Oh why beaten...
Hey couple
Come come, yes shopkeeper (lala)
Gora you want to go? lets go
Come come
Its been so many days,
you havent come to the shop!
We were afraid of him so we didn't come
Why, what do I say to you?
What do we know, thinking of yourself to
be male sparrow, you make us run again
Uhh, oh no son
You are like my children
If they are like your children
Then should we continue
listening to their remaining story
Hmm
Mmm..
Tell then
Sure?
Sure
One day after getting frustrated
from him brothers and sisters-in-law,
male sparrow got a female sparrow
The brothers of the male sparrow thought,
that he will partition their land into half
His sisters-in-law beat up the
female sparrow and sent her home
The male sparrow was
humiliated in the whole village
Everybody told him that his sparrow ran away
He got infuriated, he went home and
started fighting with his sisters-in-law
That you sent my sparrow home
Then, what happened then
Then what, they beat him up
and messed up his feathers
Hmm...
What should the male sparrow do,
drink cold water and die, What should the
male sparrow do, drink cold water and die
Come come come, Oh wow
Oh make haste
I have got some work with a lot of difficulty
Don't get me scolded on the first day itself
Would it take 4-5 days!
Yes, it seems so
Thank God
Really?
OK
I will leave
Noor wake up, have food, I have to go to work
Wake up daughter
Have tea
I have prepared food
Have it
I will leave for work
But mother, its Sunday today
Then what will I do alone at home
May I come along with you
Finally you are here!
Your aunt has been waiting for you from so long
Hm.. Hmm...
Grandfather, which four countries
share the border with our country
Our country's border
Ummm
Let me first read the newspaper son
After that I will tell you
I know sir
With China, Nepal, Pakistan and Bangladesh
Do you know tables?
Yes I know all the tables
And you
No
Here father, have tea
Give it here
Father, Submit Pappu's
fees in the school tomorrow
There have been many calls from the school lately
OK..
Listen to me..
Yes
Come here my child
You speak beautiful Punjabi
Which grade are you in
Sir in 5th
OK go play
Hey
Whats the matter
You ask
You ask
You ask
You ask
Why are asking me, ask him
Ask what do you want to ask?
Teacher if I ask,
then you won't make us bend down?
I will definitely, if the thing is such
The question is something which
will end up in us bending down
Hehe..
OK I won't make you, ask away
Teacher
That beautiful madam has
not since many days, why so?
Whats the matter?
See I told you don't ask
I do not know about the beautiful madam,
see Noor's mother upside down as well
Should I make her upright
Greetings Teacher
Greetings
I have come to pick up Noor,
Sarpanch sir is asking for her
What work does Sarpanch sir has with Noor
Uh..
That I do not know, this only Sarpanch sir can tell
Hmm
Noor
Go with your mother, OK
OK sir
OK go
Sit down here
Ummm
Principal Sir
Yes
Ask him some quest from the fifth grade
After independence, how many parts
was Punjab divided into and when?
Ummm
Sir you haven't taught this
You tell Noor
Hahaha!
Tell him child
What are you talking about Sarpanch sir
If Pappu who is so intelligent,
couldnt answer this question
How will she answer
I can ask her something simple
Uhun...
Yes child tell him
After independence Punjab
was divided into three parts
First was on 1st November
1966 and it was named Haryana
Wow.. Bravo
Second was 25th January, 1971
OK
Which was named Himachal Pradesh
What was left is now known as Punjab
Excellent! Very Good
Wow
Which School do you attend child
Oh sir the government
primary school in this village
Okay kids, you go and play
Bravo Noor Bravo
Yes Principal Sir
Do I spend so much so that...
My child can't even compete with
a student of a government school
The fees of Pappu alone can
cover the expenditure of all the
government school students
And this is the result!
Sarpanch Sir, you don't worry
Sarpanch sir do not worry,
we will arrange for extra tuition for Pappu
Sure!
Its your fault and I should pay tuition as well
Listen to me
I won't let Pappu attend your school
And I will tell everybody about your performance
I will see who attends your school
No Sarpanch sir, don't say like this
If Pappu doesn't go to school,
then others will also follow him
Not just this village, I will also withdraw
the children of the adjoining village
What can be done with a fees of Rs.
3, why spend a 1000 for the same
And the food is free
Sarpanch sir this way I will be ruined
I have taken out a loan in the name of the school
And the way we are ruined, what about that
Now, you only tell whats the solution to this
Solution is there
Either the 60 children of our
village will go to government school
Or the 20-22 students of the
government school of the village
Will attend your school
Meaning?
Meaning is straight
The 20-22 students of the government school
will study in your school and that also free
And if the government school shuts down
Then all students will study in only your school
Now the decision is yours
But Sarpanch Sir
The expenditure of 20 children,
it will damage me a lot
Whats the damage, its all an advantage for you
When the government school
shuts down, then do as you wish
And this is just one student of
government school that is so intelligent
If 20 government school
students come to your school
Then your school will achieve great fame
Be grateful that I am giving you this chance
Ummm
But... but till when will I
have to teach them for free
Till the time I don't get this school shut down
OK Sarpanch sir, I agree
OK Sarpanch sir
And principal sir, hmm..
Teach Punjabi as well to students
When Pappu talks to me in Hindi
He seems like a stranger
Sarpanch sir I fail to understand one thing
What will we gain if 20 children study for free
You wont understand!
I have
Killed three birds with one arrow
How is that
Look
The poor children of the village will
study in the private school for free
Hmm
Then I will definitely be
elected as Sarpanch next year
Hmmmm
Second
The school in the village will be shut down
Hehe! and third?
Third that when the school shuts down
Then the place of the ground will become vacant
Haha!
This I didn't even think about
You won't be able to think about it son!
If you had the brains to think this
then you would have been
Sarpanch and not panch
Have tea
Sorry for being late
No!
The children got me late
Sorry Madam
Ahem...
Teacher
Now get ready to convince me
like this form your whole life
Really!
Your application has been approved
Oh really!
I talked about us at home,
they have called you to meet them
Tell me when to go
Call your mother and come this Sunday to meet
I suggest that we call my mother
next Sunday and we meet them alone
Alright
Let Sunday just arrive soon now
Good
Have it
Villagers!
I saw
A village girl Noor, is very intelligent
And I know this too
That each child studying in the government
school of our village is very intelligent
I do not want Ruldu, that you son should
keep ruining on a rickshaw his entire life
And Pala
I don't want that your child should
ruin his entire life like you have
And Mela
You have spent yours through thick
and thin but have you ever thought
What will become of your kids
Hmm
And I
I have thought something about their future
If you all agree upon it
You ask us Sarpanch sir,
the life of our children should be settled
Correct
For a brighter future of the children of the village
I have decided this
That all the children of our village
Will study in expensive private
schools instead of government schools
And I will take care of the entire
expenditure of study from my own pocket
Applause
But Sarpanch sir, children are
already studying fine over here
And they have become
more intelligent than before
Then why go to private school
Don't you want
That your children should
study in AC, wear good uniforms
A bus will come, will pick the children
from home and drop them back
They will study in expensive schools,
big schools, only then they will get good jobs
Other wise they will be ruined in the village
I want that
That the children of our village
should go to big schools, bring fame
to our village and become big officers
And as the Sarpanch of this village
It is my duty to serve you all
Then Sarpanch sir should we send
the children from tomorrow itself?
Uh.. not from tomorrow
Because this year's exam forms
of the children have been filled
Huh...
From the next year
Every child of our village
Will study in private schools
Applaud, hehehe
Hoorah! to Sarpanch sir
Hey! its long live
Uh uh long live Sarpanch sir
Son you could have called your mother as well
We could have sat and talked
Oh my village is a bit far away
That's why
Will bring her next Sunday
Hmm
Okay
Then we will decide the date of the marriage
Will have to wait for some time for marriage
Why son?
Oh I wanted that
My younger sister should get married before that
My responsibility will decrease a little
Good
Very Good
You have a good thinking son
No problem, till that time we can get you engaged
OK sir
Rest, son you are wise yourself,
we are happy when you are
What ever you do will OK
OK lets leave it
Lets give them some time alone
They will decide for themselves
Yes daughter?
Say
What did want to say?
Dad asked us to talk alone
like we have never met before
I think mom dad are very eager to get rid of you
Why?
Why do you think so?
Thats why they are in a hurry to get you married
Then do hurry
Oh yes,
I just remembered
The boy that we are considering
for my sister, I had to go meet him
Then go
Only then something will happen about us
Really
Hmm
Lets never get angry with each other
And let there never be a difference between us
Lets never get angry with each other
And let there never be a difference between us
Lets spend with love
Lets spend with love
What ever days we get to live
If there is moon in my destiny,
then why should I look at the stars
You are the only pleasant sight in my life
And I dont want to live without you
You are the only pleasant sight in my
life and I dont want to live without you
Who has found God over here
Innocent people roam here and there
If there is God in the destiny, then why
should a man bang his head here and there
If there is God in the destiny, then why
should a man bang his head here and there
Your eye is like the blue ocean,
how do I get to swim in them
For true souls are made truer souls,
the outer beauty does not work
You are a thin branch of mulberry
I am like the plant of Babul
You say that I am like a swing
I say that you are like a ride
I will hold the stars in my hands
I you would swing my swing
If there is moon in my destiny,
then why should I look at the stars
If there is God in the destiny, then why
should a man bang his head here and there
If there is God in the destiny, then why
should a man bang his head here and there
Attention
Stand at ease
Attention
Whats the matter
The attendance is low today
Where are the rest of the students
Don't you know teacher?
The Sarpanch has made an
announcement for the children
What?
From the next year we all will
be admitted to private school
Hehhhe
4-5 students have already prepared themselves
That is why they did not come along
You know how much expenditure is involved
It will be the Sarpanch's as he is paying it
Now we will also sit alongside rich kids and study
And we will also wear new uniform
School bus will pick and drop us home
Hmm..
Uh
Sir I have been observing since the morning
You are stressed
Uh
May I ask
What he matter is?
Yes Hari
I am stressed from what Sarpanch said
Even I can't understand
The one who used to profiteer from
the mid day meal of the children
Where will he pay for the
expenditure of 20 children
Sarpanch has definitely put up some scheme
He has applied the scheme
To shut down the school
How's that sir?
The government has decided for the next session
That the schools that have less than 20 students
The should be shut down and
merged with the adjoining village
It means that neither
The students will be here not the school
Hmm
What should we do about it
You do one thing
You call the student's parents
OK sir
Between private and government schools
There is not much difference
The study over there is same as here
We change the school of our children
When they are worthless
But your children are studying very good
Its my guarantee that this time
they will pass with flying colours
But then also if you do not listen to me
Then this school will shut down
If this school shuts down then from the next
year private schools will do as they please
Teacher
Teacher
I agree that the children are
studying very good but till what time
What will be their future
Do you take the responsibility to
teach the children for the next 10 years?
All is not in my hands Sapranch sir
I am a government employee
When and where the government wants
It can transfer me
Hmmm
Look Teacher
When you don't know about your future transfer
Then how can you make such a big statement
Hm?
Look Teacher
You think about your own future
And to think about the future of the
children of my village, is my responsibility
And the future of my children is...
Private School
Wow Sarpanch sir
What a thought
Mmm!
Hmm..
Greetings
Lets go
This is to directly ruin the future of the children
Balwinder
You should stop this
What can I do in this?
Nobody understood me even
after I explained everything
Now what?
What now
I will be transferred after the exams
After sister's marriage
We will plan our future
The children due to whom our journey started
You are going to leave them!
Lest you should do the same to me
This is the limit
Teacher
I did not expect this from you
After showing somebody the way
To leave them in between before reaching
the destination, is not a very good thing
Either don't show somebody the way
If you have then lead them to the destination
Lest it should happen that because
of you some one might not belong
to either the future or the past
People speak the truth about
government schools and teachers
Uhh
Son
Your father spent his entire life for the children
Wherever he got transferred
He gave free tuition to the poor children
And used up his entire salary for them
Son
This is not a job for our family
But our duty
And
Your father
Took his last breath
While teaching in the school on his chair
Brother you know very well
That for our father we weren't his only children
But all the children of the
school were like his own children
And son
Treat all the children of the school as your own
Hmm
You stand with them during thick and thin times
Its very difficult to spend time without loved ones
The Sun doesn't set if the lover is not along
Its very difficult to spend time without loved
ones, the Sun doesn't set if the lover is not along
We can bare footed walk the long roads
Not even thorns hurt if lover is along
Its very difficult to spend time without loved
ones, the Sun doesn't set if the lover is not along
A man takes messes with the whole world
If the hand holds the hand of the lover
There is no defeat in any court of law
If there is somebody to take a side
Even moist sticks burn in an inferno
Without fire even dry grass doesn't burn
Its very difficult to spend time without loved
ones, the Sun doesn't set if the lover is not along
Come
Take it
No
What happened?
Today we will go only after
telling the remaining story
Hey!
Why do you want to get
you bones broken from me
Go! run away from here
Uncle, even if you kill us today
We will leave only after tell the whole story
Really!
Yes
I have kept it here, we won't go
Sons, you will have to tell the story today
I won't let let you leave today, OK start
When the brother of the male sparrow beat him,
then some learned person advised him
Hmm
What advice
Male sparrow went straight to land registrar
He got his land and house partitioned
Then the brothers of the male sparrow
started roaming in front and back of him
The very next day his sparrow returned
When his brothers tried to threaten then
Male sparrow got them arrested by the police
After that male sparrow
and his sparrow lived happily
Come here son
If you had told this story earlier
I would have been easy earlier
How could we have told this earlier
The end of this story has
been written by the teacher
We had narrated to him the story
of the male and female sparrow
hmm..
Take this
No No, take it
Take it
Won't take it
What to do
Take this
Uh.., this is also OK
We don't need this
Take it please
Kids opened my eyes today
Do you think?
This story could have started by us children
I already had a doubt
That you can't tell this story in such a young age
Tell me the truth
Who told you this story?
This man for the fun of it
And to break your heart
Oh no brother
Oh no
Oh dont take off your shoe
I will be humiliated in front of the children
OK shopkeeper (seth)
Let me give you a nice back oil massage
(beats him with his shoe)
Hey Sarpanch
That Teacher
Was speaking in front of the whole village
But you shut him up like anything
His attitude is such
I was telling you why are you stressing
You lost faith easily
We hadn't seen that side of yours
ever, you have made us happy
Hahaha
Oh I am saying that if he
comes in front of me... uh...
Oh. what did I wish for!
Hold me
Greetings Sarpanch Sir
Greetings! Greetings! Greetings!
I was coming to you only
Uh uh lets go home, have tea
I just need to talk
Yes
We can do it here
OK do it
I have organized a function in school
I want that lets put everything behind us
You should also attend
Will come
Definitely
Any which way there only 1-2 days left
before the results of the children come out
We don't if we may or may not meet again
Let us know if we can do anything
Thats it
I met you, this is enough
Uh.. OK
Greetings! Greetings!
Let's go
First of all
I am thankful to all of you
And Greetings to all
You joined us here on our invitation
We felt so good
The students of this school
Have prepared something for you
We hope that you'll like it
And now I would like to call
Gulab Singh Golu on the stage
And let him present before
you whatever he has prepared
(claps continue)
Hehehe, hehe
The tricolor flag made up of three colors
Always rains power
See it waves majestically on top of Indian peaks,
waves majestically
JAI HIND!
Praise the Indian nation
(claps continue)
Next student Gurwinder Singh alias Gora
He he he he (claps continue)
We want to establish that rule
In which humans do not loot other humans
and humans do not destroy other humans
If we get to form our own government,
then nobody will own personal property
The entire wealth and land of the
country will be co-owned by the
entire population equally and together
No one would have a caste or religion
Humanity will be the caste
and religion for everybody
Long live revolution,
Long live revolution, Long live revolution
(claps continue)
Now our next student Harnoor Kaur,
will recite a poem in front of you
(claps continue)
Greetings to everybody
Today I will present a poem
written by respected Navpreet Sidhu
You made us hold the finger of words oh teacher
You showed light to our darkness
Our life would have been destroyed by storms
You took our boat ashore oh teacher
How to tie together oceans and a pot
This study you made us do oh teacher
I pray that you have a long life
We won't be able to forget you oh teacher
Forget oh teacher
Greetings
(claps continue)
Grandfather I also want to learn Punjabi
Then only I will be able to recite a good poem
Hmmm...
Now I would like to request the Teacher
of this school to share his thoughts
And let us know how did he
feel about our village school
(claps continue)
First of all
Lovely Greetings to all of you
Welcome
and Thank you very much
for coming here at my request
I think I have
In this school
In this village
Only 2-3 days left
Hmhm..
That is why, due to the love
and affection you gave me
I organized today's this function
So that I can carry all of your
Love
All of your memories
Along with me
So now I come straight to my point
That the children are the future of
your home, your village and the country
And the foundation of the
future should be very strong
As is the foundation so is the building
And to make the building strong, the teacher
has the important role as that of a mason
Huh!
He has started with his lecture again
Its OK Sarpanch sir, its his last day, let him speak
So I request all the parents
That put your children into the right hands
It is not necessary that
School buses
Buildings
Or AC rooms have good in them
You can find good hands even
under the shade of sacred fig tree
So continue the children's education
Because only education can shape
and improve the future of children
So with this I apologise
if while I was here, I might have said something
wrong then forgive me as I was your own
Thank you all very much
(claps continue)
This Early in the morning! All good?
Everything is good
Do you have the newspaper?
No I have unsubscribed the
newspaper because I am leaving
You come with me
But tell me where to go?
its not needed to be told but seen
Come Come Come
Oh tell me Hello!
Tell me at least
Will somebody tell me what has happened?
I'll tell you teacher
Harnoor has topped in the entire Punjab
Gora has got second position in District
And this Golu, he has got third position in District
Here look at the newspaper
Hehehe
And one more thing sir
Sarpanch's grandson has failed
Teacher, we won't let you go
You stay here only, yes sir
Teacher, we don't want her
to be taught in private school
We are good with the village
school only, please stay here teacher
If you have dug the foundations,
then you will have to fill them as well
Yes! Yes! Yes! why not, we won't let you go
That is OK but our school
has a total of 22 children
7 are in 5th grade
And they are also going to big school
15 students are left behind
Then how are we going to run the school
We need at least 20 children to run the school
Teacher
He was also studying in a private school
Take care of him, now its 16
Teacher, now we have 18
Take my son, now its 19
Teacher, mine will also study here, take mine too
Now we have a total of 32, teacher
Not 32
What!, Sarpanch
33 teacher, hmm...
Go son, into your new school
We casually indulge in a false fame and show off
Otherwise there is no difference between
a private school and a government school
The proof is in front of everybody
I, bind my hands together and
ask for everybody's forgiveness
I am worried about this
That while running behind English
Lest we forget our mother tongue Punjabi
And also not forget that we are Punjabi
And you never focused on one thing
Your children go far away in the buses to study
2 hours to go and 2 to come back
This long distance affects the
mind and body of the child
Hmm..
The innocent child gets tired
Its better that
Your Child
Should study in your own village school
You are right madam
We should all work towards
the betterment of the school
And I will begin this from my own side
Hmm..
I will give 1 lakh from the official fund
so that the school can have a new room
And I will try that to get some
grant from the ministerial fund
Applaud, Sarpanch sir has done a great promise
Mundra, Sarpanch has hit the bullseye and
has confirmed his election for the next term
Applaud
