Alakh, where are you running?
There is a big trouble. -What happened?
I was-I was playing cricket
and by mistake, shattered a window pane.
Now what'll you do?
I don't know. If Dad sees, then I am done for.
Now what do I do?
Tushar, Dad.
Alakh, where're you running
Where is Alakh? Do you know?
No, Sis. I do not know.
Where has Alakh gone? His phone is switched off too.
What a crazy kid he is! Shall we report it to the police?
No, no. I will find out. Alakh! Alakh!
Hello! -Hello! Hello! Where are you, man?
I've been calling. Why's phone switched off?
Battery was charging.
Do you know how worried your family is?
Is this the way to act? Hello?
Hey, Alakh, I am talking to you. Can you hear me? Hello?
Alakh...
Yes, I was going to call.
Really? You'd have bothered yourself so much, my lord?
You were going to call after 18 hours. I feel so blessed.
What kind of a behaviour is this? Where are you right now?
Hello? Can you hear me?
Hello, Alakh.
Here, Alakh! Listen...hello? Network!
What happened? Where are you?
Alakh...
Can you hear me, Alakh?
Hello?
Hey, hello? I am talking to you. Where are you?
Koti. Inform at home.
My phone will switch off again
(Chants)
It's the best spot, sir. The view is amazing on top.
It is not very crowded, is it?
I need some peace and quiet. -In Koti, everywhere's peace and quiet
Hey, have you locked your room properly?
Properly? I have locked it as it should be locked.
It requires more than inserting key and twisting?
No, sir. I was simply cautioning. A lot of thefts take place here.
Then you should be alert.
How alert can I be? If a theft has to happen, it happens.
It's okay. There's nothing worth stealing in my room.
Nothing? There must be card, money, laptop? There must be something.
Were you the one going to steal?
You are funny, Sir.
The promises of togetherness
leaving them all unfulfilled,
all the good
yes, all the intentions.
Complaints
kept going on. Habits
kept snoozing, without you
I never lived
There was nothing to gain
To lose, you too are not
found in this empty soul,
O life!
We are about there, ma'am.
Two more step, see.
Best view in the world.
See, see. You see, ma'am, see.
Nowhere in the world. See, see. You see.
Very beautiful. See. -Shush!
Ma'am, I was saying this is the best viewing point
It's very beautiful.
Hey, Mister! Please be quiet. Why are you shouting?
Why should I be quiet, bro? This is public place, not your home.
Then, go that side and shout. Do you have to dance on my head?
How are you talking, bro? Do you have no manners?
No, Champak. Leave him. It's okay.
Good, you came to your senses. Now don't come back here.
Stupid, idiot...
Catches some foreigners and fleeces them.
Who are you abusing? You have no manners?
How to talk to people? Is this any way? -You've manners
Who did you abuse?
How are you talking like this? -Why are you shouting?
I am here. Let's see what you can do. -Champak, don't fight.
I'll fix you in a minute. -Be on your way.
Hey! who are you pushing? -What do you think of yourself?
This is not the way. -This is no reason to abuse.
Okay. I will try him again.
See, Tushar, please let me know when you reach him.
Okay. Yes. Hmm. Okay, I am hanging up. Bye.
Tushar's spoken to Alakh. He's in Koti. -What?
Dad, there's a village in Uttarakhand named Koti. He has gone there.
Koti? But what is he doing there?
What else will he do? He did all kinds of antics here and fled.
His work was going great here.
Dad, he will work later too. Now, it's important that he's fine wherever he is.
And when will he come back? -Mom, you know
he's like this since childhood. Once he calms down, he'll come.
Okay? -I am getting worried.
Hey, Mom! What's there to worry? And I will talk to him, okay?
Dad, don't lose your cool. I'll talk to him.
Talk to him, talk to him.
Are you crazy? I could have been killed.
Sorry, sir. -Who pushes like this? What sorry?
What sorry? -You were rude so I got angry.
Push me. Kill me. Who pushes like this? -Sir, I-I
I would have been lying here. What should I do with your sorry?
Forgive me. -I lost my bag. All my stuff was in it.
Mobile, purse, wallet, everything was in it. What can you understand?
Sir, sorry, sir. -Not another sorry. Go away!
Sorry. -Champak.
Yes, ma'am.
Actually, I have an idea. We can take him to the lodge.
So, you can bring him.
Just talk to him once.
Yes, ma'am.
Sir. Sir, I've an idea. I want to share it with you.
Stay away.
Sir, please listen to me. Sir, I have a small hostel-cum-lodge here.
These girls too are staying there, sir.
Sir, I mean, if you like
you can stay there as long as you like.
Lodging boarding, all free, sir. I mean
you can wire the money after going back.
Just see. It's a small place. You won't be inconvenienced, sir.
Come, sir.
Isn't it true, sir? I had told you, heaven on earth.
And anyway it's way better than the place your were staying.
And, honestly, sir, the manager of that hotel steals the guests' belongings.
If your bag hadn't fallen then he'd have stolen it.
I mean, I am telling you honestly. Come.
Come in, treat it like our own house.
Come. Easy.
Please understand.
The situation had turned critical and there was no option.
We will get extra money too.
And our Raju will not lose any weight by sleeping in the hall.
Go, collect your stuff.
Sir, come.
Come.
It is small but it's very airy, sir.
First class. And the view outside the window is amazing.
See. Anyway, in a day or two, it will feel bigger.
There are girls in the hostel, so... Hey, hurry up.
Here, give me your bag. -No, no. It's fine.
Give it to me. No problem.
Okay then, sir. We will meet in the evening for tea.
Mamta cooks amazing food.
Okay then, sir. Okay.
Sir, what brought you to Koti?
I mean, people normally go to Shimla, Manali.
Hardly anyone has heard about Koti.
How did you learn about Koti?
I don't know. -What do you mean?
Meaning, I don't know where and how I learnt about Koti.
The thing is
I have been using this name since childhood.
Use? How?
Actually, when I was a kid
then in summer vacations,
all my friends used to go somewhere.
Where had you gone this time? -This time we had gone to Bombay.
Essel World. There are a lot of rides.
It was great fun.
My family's financial condition was bad.
We never went anywhere.
Alakh, where had you gone? -Yes, Alakh, where had you gone?
I...
I...I had gone to my grandmother's house. -In Koti.
Where is Koti? How is it? Is exists or not? I had no idea.
But this name had stuck to my mind.
There is a such big waterfall
that it's difficult to see it from ground.
And there is a mountain there
where it feels like the rainbow can be plucked from the sky.
My stories about Koti never ended.
Whatever came to my mind, I told them.
And my friends used to love it.
Koti seemed like a magical place to them.
And I was the wizard of that magical place.
In childhood, when
there were problems,
Koti used to save me.
And now
when I needed help again in life,
I felt
I should actually visit Koti.
It's nice, sir.
Wow, that's such a sweet story.
You understand Hindi?
Yes, sir. They know Hindi.
Little. But they got the gist of it.
Hi, I am Lily.
Hi. Alakh.
There, now your are friends.
Hey Mamta, what happened to dinner?
I am a teacher. -O, teacher?
That's why you are so uptight.
So, what do you teach? -Physics.
And you? What do you do?
Nothing.
Nothing?
Yep, nothing.
Rich parents.
Not at all.
So, basically, I was doing a good job as a clerk in a library.
And I will be taking up something else.
After sometime in future.
But right now, I do nothing.
I just exploring the world and trying to understand myself.
So, don't you feel scared? Doesn't it scare you?
No stable job, no stable income.
No security. Such uncertainty.
You know, the most certain thing in life is uncertainty.
The more you try to run away from it,
the more uncertain it gets.
So, better to embrace it.
Come on, sir, let's dance. Come, come, please.
Let's go, Alakh. -I won't.
Hey, come, sir. -Hey, come please.
Thank you.
Hey, that's enough. I won't be able to eat.
This is light?
Very tasty.
Very nice.
So, which place you will go?
Which place we are going?
Sir, good morning. Good morning, girls. -Good morning, Champak.
Good morning, Champak.
And sir, did you sleep well?
Yes, yes. Mr. Champak, who lives there?
That is Mr. Rawat's house.
Now, I don't know who lives there. He keeps renting it to people.
What happened, sir?
No, nothing.
How was the breakfast?
Very nice.
Quite nice!
I had told you, sir. Mamta cooks very well.
It's dripping clarified butter.
Don't hesitate, sir. Think of this place as your house.
And sir, what's the plan today?
I've nothing important to do. Let's see. -Cool. Girls!
What plan today?
We will got to the market, Champak.
So, you will get these kind of jewellery. Very nice.
O yeah! -You are Physics teacher, right?
I had some doubts. Will you explain them?
I'm trying this since last night but to no use.
Actually
I have to go to the market with them.
So... -It will take 5 minutes, sir. Please.
Raju! Sir just said he has to go out.
Why do you have to open your books anywhere?
Now, go inside. Go.
Sorry, sir. He is like that.
What're you going to get from market?
So many things we can buy here for present.
Alakh!
Was it too tough?
The equation that Raju asked?
Was it too tough?
Then why didn't you tell him?
I am not sure, if I want to teach anymore.
Why?
After all that has happened recently, I am not feeling like it.
Maybe, I am not cut out for it.
But you have been teaching since childhood, right?
How can you not figure out it?
Don't know, lately, I have been questioning everything.
You know it is such a thankless job.
Students come and students go. And you keep teaching the same things again
and again.
Yeah, but those little things create such a big difference in someone's life.
And you are not even there to see it.
You know...
Students move ahead in life.
They make progress and then they forget us.
So what? Progress is progress,
whether you see it or not.
It's such a noble profession, Alakh.
You shouldn't leave it.
I am getting this one. Lily.
My namesake. -Good.
And which tattoo will you go for?
I am not getting anything. -Why?
I don't know what to get.
It's very simple. Think of symbol or word that speaks to you,
that means something to you
that you value a lot.
And get that one.
I know how it is done. But now, I can't think of anything right now.
I just can't think of anything like that.
You go ahead.
Okay then. Wait for us. -Sure.
Hi, ma'am. -Hi.
I want to get this one. -Sure, ma'am
Alakh, what are you thinking?
Nothing.
Come, let's get dinner. -Wow!
You guys are here! How was it?
Hi, Champak. See, what I got.
O, nice tattoo! I like it. -Nice? You really like it?
You got it from the same shop?
Yes, yes. -The one that I told you?
Did others get tattoo? Nice. -Yes.
Very nice.
Solved the question?
No, sir.
Can I see it once?
Which one? This. -This one.
Okay.
Newton's Laws of Motion's monkeys.
It has bothered a lot of students.
And actually, its solution is very simple.
Shall I tell you? Hold the book.
See,
Nice! He finally got hold of sir.
Good. At least he will learn something.
Wow! It got solved so easily!
What you have to do is just use F=ma
and make correct equations and motions and bam! it's done.
F=ma
How big problems get solved by these tiny equations, right sir?
Hey, this is the genius of our Newton Sir.
But, you know, Raju
what is the most fascinating contribution of Newton Sir to science?
What?
The mathematical constant of Pi.
Newton made that too? -No, he didn't make it.
But he told the most easy way of finding the accurate value of Pi.
Do you know before Newton Sir, how the value of Pi was calculated?
How?
See.
Imagine a circle.
See. Its radius is 1.
Okay? Now what will be the circumference of this circle?
2 Pi r is r1, then 2 Pi
Good. In this circle, a regular hexagon has to be made
okay? What will be its length on the side? 1
so how many are there in total? 6. So, 6 is this hexagon's...
In 250 BC, Archimedes,
then in 16th century, your French mathematicians,
a year later, some Dutch scientists and many more unknown scientists
kept trying to figure out the accurate value of Pi for thousands of years.
And then came, Sir Issac Newton.
A 22-year-old boy
because of whose method, now anyone
can find the accurate value of Pi in an hour.
Isn't it amazing? Magical? -Yes, sir.
But Raju, do you know how this was possible?
Why? -Because of all those scientists
who spent their entire life to find the value of Pi.
Their years of hard-work, perseverance, madness, passion,
because of all that. Because if it hadn't been there then
it may not have caught Newton Sir's attention
That's why, the discovery of the value of Pi is a very special thing.
Because Pi is not just a number.
It's our emotion.
For me, Pi stands for perseverance.
Keep working at it.
Never accept defeat.
That should be your tattoo. Pi.
Bro, slowly.
It's nothing, just relax.
Hey bro, it's hurting.
It will be done.
You will be fine.
Why is it paining so much?
I watched you girls yesterday. You guys were not in so much pain.
So why me? -You want the pain to go away?
Yes. It's hurting a lot.
You are a butcher, I swear. Come to Allahabad sometime
Alakh, take this then.
Brownie?
How it will help with pain?
Take it. You will see.
Aah, it is still hurting.
Wait and watch.
Alakh!
Lily, your brownie.
It had something, right?
It had something. What?
Love. It had love in it.
Let's go.
It has love.
Where the hell we are?
I don't know.
We were supposed to be in the market only.
Where are the shops?
Hey bro! Bro! -Stop, stop!
Hey bro! Bro! Hey, you!
Now what?
The city must be that side.
Tempo came from there. Go.
Are you okay?
I-I don't know.
What we will do now?
Go straight. The city must be that side.
Walk.
What happened?
Galaxy Point
So?
This board says that, that way is Galaxy Point.
How can it be real? How can it be?
What cannot be real?
This, Galaxy Point. I made it up.
You made it up?
Yeah. In my stories. -When?
In my childhood stories, when I used to tell my friends about Koti.
How's it possible? I made up this place -Galaxy Point.
Galaxy Point? -Yes!
The entire galaxy is visible. Stars everywhere.
We should go.
Right now? But it's so dark.
Don't worry. Just follow me.
The way to there is through the jungle. Trees everywhere.
Then come, three very old pillars of stones.
And then comes our Galaxy Point.
Soft grass everywhere and gleaming stars in the sky.
Verma Sir!
And that's how... that's how I reached here.
And then I spotted you.
I cannot understand what is going on?
Everything suddenly... -Relax.
There's a water pump there.
Yeah? Bring me some water.
Sure.
I am a big fan of yours, sir.
I have learnt Physics by reading your books.
Not only me, in India, every kid reads your Physics books.
Very proud moment for me, sir.
But, sir, what are you doing here in Koti?
When I saw you in the lodge, I couldn't recognise you.
I couldn't believe that you'd be here.
See, I come here every year.
This is one of the most beautiful place in our country to see the milky way.
Come, I'll show you something.
Have a look.
Many years ago, when I'd come here the first time,
Then I had written a detailed article about this place in Reader's Digest.
It used to come to your house?
Yes, sir. It used to.
You must have read about my article in that
and then forgot.
But Koti and this place remained in your subconscious mind.
Then after growing up a little, you used it to spin stories to your friends.
But our mind cannot think about
any such thing which doesn't exist.
Whatever we say, whatever we think or whatever we imagine,
They are all an extension of reality.
Nothing comes out of nowhere.
Everything has got a meaning, a purpose.
And
what's the purpose of life?
You also fell into this trap?
Not yet, sir.
I always wonder who I am.
And what am I doing here.
There're billions of stars in the sky.
Millions of galaxies.
Every galaxy has many suns like our sun.
And thousands of planets revolving around every sun.
We live on a small planet out of many
which is revolving around a
very normal, very unremarkable
galaxy's, unremarkable sun.
And on our planet also
we are just one of at least 90 lakhs different lives.
So, what is our significance?
And then what can be the purpose of such insignificant life?
You are right.
We are very insignificant. In fact,
we are just a speck of dust in this vast emptiness called Space.
Think about it. How many improbable things have just gone right
for us to exist here on earth.
For example, the distance from our sun. If it increases a bit or decreases,
it will be too hot or too cold for life to survive on earth.
Think about the formation of giant planets like Jupiter
which save us from lakhs of asteroids.
Or just think about that one big asteroid
which had somehow reached earth
and killed all the dinosaurs.
If one of the either things had not happened,
we wouldn't have been here.
In fact, there has been a long sequence of amazing things that have led
existence of life on earth.
And here too, you have rightly said,
we are the only one amongst 90 lakhs different life forms
who have the capability of thinking and understanding.
Einstein once said that
the most incomprehensible thing about universe is that
it is comprehensible.
And the universe has chosen us humans
to do that comprehension.
That's why, according to me, the purpose of life is to seek knowledge
and impart it to others who can take it forward.
There is no doubt about it that we are just a speck of dust.
But in our quest for knowledge and enlightenment,
we can be a shiny speck of dust
before vanishing.
Alakh! Look, what I found.
I told you. Everything has a purpose.
Verma Sir was right. Everything has a purpose.
If that day, my bag had not fallen in the ditch
then I would never have gone to Champak's lodge.
If I hadn't gone to Champak's lodge, then I wouldn't have met Lily.
And if I hadn't met Lily then I wouldn't have gone to the market.
Her questions would not have come.
If her questions were not asked, then I wouldn't have taught Raju after returning
The idea of having Pi as tattoo wouldn't have come.
If I hadn't got tattoo then I wouldn't have eaten that brownie.
If I hadn't eaten brownie then wouldn't have lost our way and met Verma Sir.
And if I hadn't met Verma Sir then I would never have understood that
the purpose of life is to seek knowledge and impart it.
And see, just as I got wisdom, I found my lost bag as well as if its
purpose of getting lost was achieved.
Bro, I am telling you, something unimaginable happened with me here.
This is an amazing feeling.
That's good. Now what next?
Now, just returning home to solve the purpose of my life.
I'll learn and teach.
You come first... -Sir, you are going back?
Listen, there is a good new...
I have got a girl and I am getting married.
I will talk to you later.
I thought you will stay for some more days so, I will clear all my doubts.
If you go, what'll happen to my studies.
Raju, I'll have to go back home, right?
But don't worry. Your studies won't suffer. I am here.
I will clear your doubts on phone. -How will doubts be cleared on phone?
What are you saying, sir?
See, Mr. Champak, please try to understand.
Raju is very good in studies. He has a brilliant mind.
But he isn't getting good teachers here
See, he will not have any problems. He will live with me in Allahabad.
I'll teach him myself. And you don't worry about finances, I'll take care.
This is about Raju's future. Please understand.
Thank you for thinking about all this.
But, we'll not be able to afford such a huge favour.
And on top of everything, he is our only son.
How can we just send him?
This cannot happen, sir.
Okay.
