00:00This girl has become very rebellious and ill-mannered.
00:05She used to be a little one with a lot of etiquette.
00:10But what has this IIT campus done to her?
00:13She is misbehaving.
00:15See, she is asking for answers.
00:19Exactly that's why one comes to IIT.
00:22To seek answers, not to seek a job.
00:27Do you get this?
00:29Don't let auntie get away with nonsense.
00:33But now I am 30, I must have a stable income.
00:38But now you are 28, you must be settled.
00:42Who gave this concept of settlement or settling down?
00:47Where is this coming from?
00:50Somebody said settle down and I must settle down.
00:53We are very obedient people, very obedient people.
00:58And the ones who ask you to settle down, ask them first of all, auntie, auntie, please, please have a
01:03seat.
01:04And you won't get up and run away before the next five minutes, right?
01:07Okay, fine.
01:09Now, explain what it means to settle down.
01:13Please explain.
01:15No, auntie, I am not questioning you.
01:17I am not slapping you.
01:18I am not spitting at you.
01:19I am just asking you to explain.
