My best scene in The 3 Idiots Rancchoddas Shamaldas Chanchad having a conversation with the Professor Professor: What is a machine? Why are you smiling? Rancho: Sir, to study engineering was a childhood dream. I’m so happy to be here finally. Machine Class Professor: No need to be so happy.Define a machine. Rancho: A machine is anything that reduces human effort. Machine Class Professor: Will you please elaborate? Rancho: Sir, anything that simplifies work or saves time, is a machine. It’s a warm day, press a button, get a blast of air. The fan. A machine! Speak to a friend miles away. The telephone. A machine! Compute millions in seconds. The calculator. A machine! Sir, we’re surrounded by machines. From a pen’s nib to a pants’ zip- all machines. Up and down in a second. Up, down, up, down… Machine Class Professor: What is the definition? Rancho: I just gave it to you, Sir. Machine Class Professor: You’ll write this in the exam? This is a machine- up, down, up, down… Idiot! Anybody else? Chatur Ramalingam aka ‘Silencer’: Sir, machines are any combination of bodies so connected that their relative motions are constrained. And by which means force and motion maybe transmitted and modified as the screw in its nut or a lever range turnabout a fulcrum or a pulley by its pivot etc. esp a construction more or less complex consisting of a combination of moving parts or simple mechanical elements as wheels, levers, cams etc. Machine Class Professor: Wonderful! Perfect. Please sit down. Chatur Ramalingam aka ‘Silencer’: Thank you. Rancho: But Sir, I said the same thing in simple language. Machine Class Professor: If you prefer simple language, join an Arts and Commerce College. Rancho: But Sir, one must get the meaning too. What’s the point of blindly cramming a bookish definition Machine Class Professor: You think you’re smarter than the book? Write the textbook definition, mister, if you want to pass. Rancho: But there are other books… Machine Class Professor: Get out! Rancho: Ooh.. Why? Machine Class Professor: In simple language- Out! Idiot! Machine Class Professor: So, we’re discussing about the machine… Machine Class Professor: Why are you back? Rancho: Sir, I forgot to take something… Machine Class Professor: What? Rancho: Instruments that record, analyse, summarize, organize, debate and explain information; which are illustrative, non-illustrative, hardbound, paperback, jacketed, non-jacketed, with foreword, introduction, table of contents, index that are intended for the enlightenment, understanding, enrichment, enhancement, and education of the human brain through sensory route of vision… sometimes touch. Machine Class Professor: [confused] What do you mean? Rancho: Books, Sir. I forgot to take my books. May I? Machine Class Professor: Couldn’t you ask simply? Rancho: I tried simply, Sir. It simply didn’t work.
