Titled Paathshala episode 1, Vartalap, the video shows a black and white footage of a man singing the entire three-minute-song in the Indian Sign Language. The song also plays in the background. The lines of the song go as “Hai janam ye bas ek hi, Din ye kam karam anek hai, Nigaah to mili hai sab ko hi, Par ye mann se na hai dekhte” - Vartalap by Spitfire.”
