01x04 - Bulb Jalega Boss

Post by bunniefuu »

Dad, I just made you some coffee

Let me get it for you

No No, Just sit down

Jeetu was just right here

I dozed off for 30 minutes

and he is nowhere to be seen

Did he tell you where he has gone?

No but he must be around the block

He'll be back in a jiffy

Oh yeah?

when does he usually get back

home from the office?

almost by 7PM or 7:30 PM

But watchman told me that he usually

gets back by 2 or 3 in the night

and sometimes he'd get back

next day in the morning

yeah sometimes

But he tells me beforehand on the phone

if he's gonna be home late

oh really?

can you tell from the phone that

he's speaking from the office?

He could be calling from anywhere

I don't follow

Look, I took the contact number from the website

and called his company

They told me that office has been

closed for two days

Now do you know where he's been

for last 2 days?

Umm No Dad

Soumya

You and him

are getting along with each other, right?

Ofcourse Dad but

But what's the matter?

No It's nothing

Thing is that he's just 26 years old

we don't know who he's been associating with

Do one thing..

Keep an eye on him

Monitor his phones, credit cards and bills

Check for the lipstick marks

on his clothes, if any

oh yes and..

Chop some onion and coriander leaves

and put it in the vegetable..

and cook for 5 more minutes

Jeetu's mom follows the same recipe

So Where were you, Son?

Oh I was just jogging outside

In flip flops?

I.. I was running at a slow pace actually

Try at a fast pace next time

Alright now give me your phone

I have to call your Aunt

Why don't I call her?

It's been a long time

since I've spoken to her

Okay, very well then

You call her then

Call her from Jeetu's phone and

tell me how's she doing

I'll be out here reading newspaper

I can't do this anymore

Why? What happened?

He thinks that you're having

a love affair with someone

He was asking me to spy on you

this is all because of that moronic watchman

gotta write a petition for his expulsion

Also Naveen and team has been going

through a lot lately

We'll know by the evening what

we're gonna do with the startup

Umm you're really not having an affair. right?

Soumya What the

I can't even keep up with my job here

and you're taking about affair?

Then why don't you tell this to Dad?

That you've left the job and about this startup..

It's not the right time yet

So, when it's gonna be?

He's gonna know about it

one way or another

Through Office or by watchman

or maybe from some other place

it's better that you tell him

about it yourself

Guys I'm not joking

My mom used to kiss me

on my forehead for luck

and it worked every time in my exams

We have a sacred purple chakra

in our forehead

I'm telling you, we've been

girdled by bad luck

Someone kiss me on my forehead,

everything will be alright

Hold up Mandal, We gotta find the judges first

You know what I think?

Leave everyone else aside and

let's focus on Narayan Murthy(founder of INFOSYS)

Look, I don't care about entry or permission

but I'm going to make that b*tch Apoorva

pay for what she did to us

Hey Yogi! Naveen!

Hey Amitesh!

How're you doing f*ck?

I'm well and good. How about you?

Did you have the lunch yet?

Not yet bro

Man, you're missing out on the best

butter chicken out there

I've already eaten 6 plates

Get in the line now, they only

have so much left

But what the f*ck are you doing here?

Did you create a startup too?

Can you hold this for me?

Watch out for the pastry

What? what did you say?

Every Sunday there's an Event

or E summit

And I just register only to gulp

a lot of chicken

Look, I even give them a hint

petpooja.com (Hungerlust.com)

But still no one has come to know

about my shenanigans

What about you though?

What's the idea of your startup?

we're presenting our idea on the stage most likely

Then you'll know

Why so closemouthed about it?

Tell me now

Okay, so the idea is

Won't it lower your anticipation if

I told you now?

you haven't changed a bit since college

No one could be more melodramatic than you

alright let it be a mystery then

Where the hell is Jeetu?

The f*ck's at home, it's because of him that

we're in such abyss

oh really?

yeah

We have to talk to the judges now

Is Narayan Murthy here yet?

He abandoned the event at the last moment

So the event staff has seeked

a new replacement now

I've heard that he's a doyen

and very experienced man

I just saw him around here somewhere

Yeah, that's him

In the black suit

I can't recollect his name..

Oh yes Rajat Khanna

Head of Mokart's Mumbai branch

Do you want the kiss here or in the bathroom?

It's been 2 hours but

no one's bothering to unlock this thing

women have a record participation

this year

5 Female entrepreneurs and this?

I tell you there has to be

a limit to gender discrimination

I mean it's everywhere

In business, in sports, in films

Do you know about the Bechdel test?

No

Come, I'll tell you come

He knows you, try talking to him

Dude, I stomped over his project

to start this startup

There's no chance

Roger that

See you in two

Everything is set

We'll be holding the passes in

our hands in next 15 minutes

What? how?

I just spent some time on mankind's

most creative chair

And I made good use of it

I have 3 amazing plans

to enter this competition

Yogi no violence, no kidnapping

I have 1 amazing plan

to enter the competition

Hear me out, It's foolproof

Here's the plan

You guys think that you've heard

all the masterplans before, right?

But not mine

Some plans are effective,

some plans are brilliant

Mine is both

Right after 5 minutes, Apoorva will recieve

a call on the reception

In order to attend it, she'll go outside

Mandal will then block the CCTV

by balloons

And then my diversion

What? Is that true?

Guys, Sachin was just spotted outside

Not Sachin Tendulkar you morons,

Sachin Bansal

Finally, all Naveen has to do

is replace Jeetu's face on

our company's profile with somebody else's

And that guy will be our fake Jeetu for a day

NO no no no

Whose photo are you gonna upload

in place of Jeetu's?

We need a fake Jeetu beforehand

Plan is foolproof Naveen

We have the 4th guy

I've just hired our first intern

Oh! and he's here

The key is under the doormat

Live Long Suckers

Let's give it up for ChaCha

Yogi, I'm not so sure bro

Do you have a better plan?

Then come on guys lets do this

Why are you taking the balloons inside?

It.. it's my son's birthday

who is your son?

Naveen

There's no Naveen here

What are you smuggling inside them?

I'm calling the police

I don't want to get locked

behind the bars again

Organizer, call the ploice

Whoa hold on hold on

He's with me

what happened?

Why is he bringing the balloons in here?

You guys again?

Security, please escort them out of here

They have been bugging me for hours

What's going on here?

Wha.. what's the problem?

Naveen?

You guys have been here since morning

You should've come to me earlier

What the hell was that out there?

Sir, the passes sir

I'm really sorry

I didn' know that you know them

Even if I didn't know them

How dare you stop people from

entering the competition?

Haven't they already registered on the website?

Don't they have a product ready?

They do sir, i'm really sorry

So I think you should talk to the

management and get her fired

Yeah we should. shouldn't we?

So that more teams don't get

disqualified for a trivial rule

It's okay sir, she was just doing

her job

If we can ever return your favour

Actually my uncle is an LIC agent

If you ever need a free insurance policy,

here's my card

You guys have worked so hard,

this is the least I could do for My ex employee

Thanks a lot, lucky for us

that you were here

That I would agree with

Just one small thing

Some people might feel that because I know

you from before I'm allowing you to participate

So, god forbids if there's a controversy

to follow, making me a bad person

Can you just get the other teams to sign on a paper

That they're okay with you participating

Others as in? all the other teams?

yeah, it shouldn't take more than

half an hour

Plus they must be having lunch right now

See, I don't want the other teams to feel that

the judges are biased, right?

So, just for safety

please get the signatures

Okay? okay the other judges are waiting for me

I gotta go

But Rajat, what if we don't

get the signatures?

Without the other teams' consent

I can't allow you to talk about your product Naveen

Naveen you know me

However trivial the rules are

you know I always like to follow them

The event's gonna start

Please get the signatures

Yes I'm getting there tonight

No I haven't left yet

I'll leave by 8PM

No, why would I reach the next morning?

I won't be late, I'll be there tonight

I won't be taking train

Jeetu booked me a flight ticket

Yes, he just got a promotion

Alright man, I'll talk to you later

What happened?

Nothing, I'm just going to watch TV

There was a remote around here

Do you see it there?

What are you gonna watch?

3 Idiots is about to start

Have you seen it?

Yeah, it's been broadcasted a lot

I haven't seen the whole movie though

What? you haven't seen the whole movie?

It's a brilliant movie

The cl*max is awesome, There's a scene

between Madhavan and his Dad

Here, I'll show you if it's airing right now

Have you seen "Husband, wife and her" ?

Sanjeev Kumar's film

Nope

It's a brilliant movie too

In the film sanjeev kumar has an affair

with other woman

which sabotaged his life

Have you seen it?

No I haven't

It must be airing on a classic channel, check it

Nope, They are showing Baghban here

Right now it's just commercials

Why are you watching the commercials,

Change the channel

No, I'm just noticing that Ad world

is completely changed now

Its not only shampoo and hair oil

ads anymore

There are a lot of commercials about

website domains and smartphone apps these days

Yeah

Everything's been done on Internet these days

Even these movie actors are doing

a lot of tech related ads

These apps are very useful though

I even booked your flight through

an app in the morning

These app generating companies are

initially termed as "Startup"

People have been more tech savvy

since the last 7,8 years

So what?

What are you telling me about Startup?

Don't I know about it?

No, there was an ad playing on the TV

that's why..

Do you have a job offer from a startup?

That's where you work post the office hours?

Look, don't be gullible about it

Most startups are just decoys

They won't offer you any money,

Instead they'll give you a share

What'll you do with the share if

company shuts down in mere 6 months?

That's not how it works Dad

That's exactly how it works.

You don't have to tell me about it

Satish's son opened an umbrella factory too,

nothing has come out of it.

We're not making umbrellas

Yeah whatever you're making

Can you give me a guarantee that the

company is not gonna terminate after 6 months?

Don't even think about working in a startup, okay?

Do you hear me?

Yeah

Your mom gave a list of songs to download,

Get to that

Go now

Dad!

Actually, he didn't tell you the whole thing

Sir, you've already eaten 7 plates

You're counting down this? huh?

I'm a startup founder, how dare you?

It's not your son's wedding,

keep 'em coming. chop chop

Hey Amitesh bro, there's a problem

Oh! that's a bummer

Has anyone else signatured yet?

No, but everyone's asking the same thing

That's why I came to you

Can I have your signature please?

Just let me finish this sweet dish

then I'll sign on it

I'll be back in 2 minutes

Just a minute

Looking for a pen?

No, my phone is buzzing. Hold on

Karunesh

Yeah Karunesh, yeah speak up. Yeah

You ran out of noodles?

Can you guys just sign here?

Beat it, as*h*le.

I'm telling you evil eye beads are very useful

Some boy used to harass my cousin sister

and it helped

She's a very sincere girl bro,

your phone hangs because you use lot of profanity

Get out of here

But you guys are..

Beat it, f*ck

What? you made an Omelet?

Oh man! I brought those eggs to wash my hair with

You jerk!

Amitesh, Please sign it bro

Oh man! I've to take a sh*t again

I think I've diarrhea

I'll be right back, okay?

Yeah you're right It's enough talking for the day

Listen, you wanna hear a song?

Just a little bit more

It's alright man,

atleast we tried

Don't fret over it

Should we go home?

We'll beat the traffic jam if we leave now

Tell him to zip it, Yogi

But Naveen for once I agree with him bro

We've had enough of this sh*t

We shouldn't embarass ourselves on the stage now

Let's go home now

No Yogi

We're not gonna leave it like this

We've been fighting for this competition

for so long

We won't meet so many investors under one roof

anytime again

We have to get on the stage

But what shall we do on the stage?

What's your job in this startup?

Coding

If you had to do coding then what's the

point of leaving a well settled company?

Dad, I don't know how to explain

No No try to explain

But look into my eyes while explaining

Dad, there's no job satisfaction

I don't enjoy working in these companies

Enjoy?

Do you seek enjoyment by working?

I've been working in a bank for 32 years,

what? for enjoyment?

I have to manage other people's accounts,

what? for enjoyment?

You get the salary on the 1st day of every month

You had such a good job, you had PFLT and

all the company's amenities

Even after all that you decided to choose this?

Alright forget the mistake that you've done

and move on

You have a promising resume

Start applying for a new job,

you'll get one in a month or two, okay?

Dad, I've already

Okay?

Not okay Dad

He wants to carry on with the startup

Aren't you guys getting anything?

What if the company didn't succeed or

the startup crashes. What then?

Atleast give him a chance to fail, Dad

There's a landmine ahead, and you're asking

me to let him step on that?

When you were having your exams,

I was offered a promotion in Jaipur

For the sake of your studies,

I denied the promotion

I have always said that study as much as you want

I'll pay the loans but I won't let

all the burden fall on you

I'm disallowing this for your own good

But Dad, for how long are you gonna

be concerned?

As a parent all you can do

is prepare him

So that he can think about

his own good himself

And you've done that

You can teach a student but

he has to take the exam himself

Alright then, it seems like my words

have no meaning here

Dad, even you took a risk of your promotion

for his future

Now that he's leaving his job

for his own future, atleast have faith in him

I have faith in a company which is 25 years old

How can I trust a new company

created by 4 amateurs

But that 25 years old company was also

created by some 3,4 amateurs

And the day that company was created,

another 99 companies were shut down

Probability Jeetu..

1/100

If you had studied that chapter,

your rank and decision both would've been better

Hey! why are you crying?

He wouldn't have stayed anyway

I shouldn't have said anything

Alright now please don't cry

You know what? No one has ever

stood up for me like you did

You tried your best dear

Why are you saying sorry?

Infact I should say thanks to you

We had an arranged marriage so

I've never said this to you

I love you

I'm sure you must have met me and

my team members an hour ago

We're the same guys who were like

pleading, begging..

And in some cases even threatning you

To get one lousy signature on this page

Which says it's okay for us to

present our product on the stage

But, as you can see,

we didn't even come close

I have some friends in The United states

They work in the silicon valley

They told me that whenever an entrepreneur

starts a startup there

The very first question they are being

asked is "What?"

What is the product?

And here in India "what" is far less likely,

everyone asks "why?"

Why entrepreneurship?

Today we are facing a similar challenge..

Like nobody is willing to listen to our "what?"

So let me talk about The "why?"

Why entrepreneurship?

I don't know

Maybe I was frustrated at my well wisher boss

in a corporate job

Or maybe I was inspired by "The Wolf Of wall street"

and "The social network"

Or maybe I enjoyed solving

the real life problems

Do you guys remember, in 90s when we

used to get those free tazos inside a chips packet?

Circular tazos made up of plastic, like

shining discs which had cartoons imprinted on them

I used to be like crazy about them

You know all I wanted was 100s and 100s

of tazos

So that I could store them in

an empty bottle of fruit jam

But I could only afford 1 packet of chips

a week from my pocket money

While my friends were piling on to 25-30 tazos,

I could manage only 5

You guys must be thinking right now that

how trivial this problem is

But at that time for a 10 years old kid,

it was a huge life problem

And it needed to be solved

and then I got an idea

One day I scratched all of my tazos with a coin

until they became completely white

The next day when I went to school

A news had been spread that Naveen has some unique

tazos, blank tazos

On which you can draw any of your

favourite cartoon character

and suddenly everybody wanted it

People were ready to trade their 10,15 and even 20 tazos

just to get that one special tazo

One month after that, I went to

the shop again

But not to buy a packet of chips

Instead I bought a new bottle of fruit jam

That was my life's first business model

I ex*cuted a lot of business ventures after that

I used to write CDs from my computer

and sold them in school

With the help of local sponsors

I managed to print my magazine in college

But there's a huge difference between

then and now

Today I'm scared

Because the competition is very ruthless

You know standing here today,

I don't feel like an entrepreneur

I feel as if I'm a contestant in a reality show

and I'm being eliminated even before performing

Actually today's judge my ex boss Mr Rajat khanna

had summed up the competition..

in a very simple sentence

He says that there's a startup founder sitting in

every office cubicle these days

Then where am I standing among

those thousands of entrepreneurs?

Now I'm dubious about my own

capabilities you see

Then I thought that how am I

different with all these successful entrepreneurs?

What makes them special that I don't have yet?

I have my education, my wits

I have a team that stands resolutely behind me

So, technically I should be successful as well, right?

Well not necessarily

You know those guys had one more

extra thing in common

Which was perhaps the most crucial thing

They refused to give up

Read any entrepreneur's biography

Its filled with phrases

Like a shot in the dark

fighting against the odds

exploring uncharted territories

Then why am I scared to fail

at such an early stage?

Nobody invented an engine their first time

Nobody discovered an Island their first time

But they kept on trying,

they kept on working

If the room is dark and

you have to light a bulb

and if you kept fumbling the switches on

the switchboard

Then one of the switch will light the

f*cking bulb

Gandhiji has said..

that whatever problem may come in life,

there's only one solution..

Bow down and get to work

all these mentors, angel investors and events

I don't have all these

external factors in my hands

All I have in my hands is my work

And whenever I'll get an opportunity..

I'll f*cking ace it with my work

One such opportunity was being

snatched from me today

Rajat you told me that I cannot sell my

product here on stage

Therefore I sold myself

There was no need to become a hero there

Everyone likes Rajat

And you bashed him on the stage

Do you know how much negative publicity

you have generated?

Atleast its a publicity

No one was giving a sh*t about us anyway

Infact that publicity got us 4 visiting cards

All the cards are the ones

with "call my secretary" written on them

We're not gonna get a meeting

atleast before a month

Atleast its better than zero visiting cards

and I googled it..

Gandhiji never said "Bow down and get to work"

Yeah I mistakenly uttered that in a flow

Really Naveen? in a flow?

f*ck this is what you say when you're

asking for a blowjob

No man, It creates a double impact if you

add a famous personality in front of a quote

Why are you smiling so much?

Your Dad left your home outraged,

Aren't you worried about it?

Not a tad worried, I'll see about that

You just got laid, right?

What are you looking at Yogi?

Its just 8 in the evening

Every founder and VC is talking about you

Infact the finance minister just

wrote a tweet about you

Just kidding, It wasn't that big a deal

But yeah YourStory wrote an article

about you a while ago

I saw your idea at NASCOM conclave

I'm free on thursday afternoon,

what are you guys doing on thursday?
