00:00Shankar's makeover. It was the end of another busy day on the Indian Railway, and Shankar was finishing his shunting.
00:17Wahoo! The spectacular Shankar shimmy!
00:21Early night for me. Got to look my best for the fancy costume contest tomorrow.
00:30Oh, I can't wait! I love wearing a costume. Have you chosen yours? Who do you think will win?
00:37The winning's not important, Thomas. But between you and me, I think I have a good chance.
00:45My theme is flower power. I'll be the most colourful engine in India.
00:51Oh, sounds great. How about you, Rajiv?
00:55Let's just say my decorations would be fit for a king.
01:00What will your costume be, Thomas?
01:03I can't decide. What about you, Shankar?
01:07Me? I won't be taking part.
01:10What? Why not?
01:12We ask him every year, and every year he says no.
01:17I can't think of anything worse than everyone staring at me.
01:22I can't think of anything better.
01:25Ha! I'm happy shunting the coal trucks like I do every year.
01:30It's a very important job, so if you don't mind, I'm off to bed.
01:43Psst! Shankar, are you awake?
01:46What?
01:47You have to enter the fancy costume contest. Just once.
01:52No. I said I don't want to.
01:54Why aren't you two asleep yet?
01:56Because Shankar wants to ask if he can enter the contest this year.
02:02Thomas, no I don't.
02:04You're just nervous. Don't worry.
02:06Well, that's wonderful news, Shankar. Of course you can enter.
02:11But I need to do all the coal shunting, Charubala ma'am.
02:14Well, you can do both if you like.
02:16But I don't have any decorations.
02:19I can sort them out for you.
02:21But I... Well, I suppose.
02:25Great! I'll add you to the list of competitors straight away.
02:29Now, off to sleep, you two.
02:31Woo-hoo! Sweet dreams, Shankar.
02:35Me? In a costume? In front of a crowd?
02:39Oh, no, no, no. I wasn't made for life in the spotlight.
02:45And now, singing live, it's Shankar!
02:55I'm a diesel train called Shankar. Shankar is my name.
03:00I like to... like... I...
03:05Shankar! Shankar!
03:09Oh, I can't do it. I can't be in the contest. I need to tell Charubala.
03:14It's too late. You've overslept.
03:18And you've got a whole morning shunting to catch up on
03:21before you can put on your costume.
03:27But I don't want everyone staring at me in some silly costume.
03:31It's only a bit of fun, Shankar. There's nothing to worry about.
03:36See you at the contest!
03:56Everyone was excited to put on their costumes.
04:00Well, almost everyone.
04:07Welcome to the Fancy Costume Contest. Judging will begin soon.
04:13Where's Shankar?
04:16Ah-ha!
04:21Oh-ho! Shankar!
04:26You look great, Shankar.
04:30Oh-ho! Shankar!
04:35You look amazing.
04:37Thomas, I don't want to do it. I'm covered from buffer to buffer.
04:41I look ridiculous. I don't want anyone to see me like this.
04:45You're just nervous, Shankar. Everyone's so excited to see you.
04:49And you're all dressed up now, so you might as well get out there.
05:00Firstly, congratulations to all the entrants.
05:04Every year, the costumes seem to get better.
05:08It's been a very tough contest, but we have made our decision.
05:12And I can reveal the winner of the Fancy Costume Contest is...
05:17Shankar!
05:23Congratulations, Shankar. I knew you could do it.
05:27Let's do the Shankar shimmy!
05:29Shankar shimmy! Shankar shimmy! Shankar shimmy! Shankar shimmy!
05:35Come on, Shankar. You can do it.
05:41HORN BLOWS
05:46HORN BLOWS
05:48Oh! Oh!
05:50Oh!
05:53Oh!
05:55Oh, no.
05:57I didn't want to enter this silly contest anyway.
06:00But you won.
06:02I don't care about winning. I care about being useful.
06:07But you didn't have to enter if you didn't want to, Shankar.
06:11Actually, I made him enter even though he said he didn't want to.
06:16I thought he'd like it.
06:18Not everyone likes being in the spotlight, Thomas. And that's fine.
06:22I'm sorry for not listening to you, Shankar.
06:25Apology accepted.
06:27Now, please may I go back to the shunting yard, Charubala ma'am?
06:30Of course. Those trucks still need shunting.
06:35HORN BLOWS
06:47Yay! Woo-hoo!
06:49Perfect!
06:51And that's how you do the Shankar shimmy.
