Suhird- What is new?
Yashank- Well I wanted to meet you because I really want to talk to you about my friend.

Suhird- Did you try to talk to him?
Yashank-Yes but he neither listens to me nor my friends.
Suhird- Do teachers know about him?
Yashank- I guess, but they just ignore him while they are teaching.
Suhird – why don’t you try talking to him again?
