What more can i say?

Blogging was just a hobby for me.

But her inspiration

made me mould my memory...

...our memories... to this novel.

With your permission,

allow me to invite...

...my sweetheart, the love of my life...

...who's here to handout the

very first copy of our book...

...except of course for

the 10000 free copies...

...we've already

given away to reviewers.

And if you find it boring, the blame

should definitely go over there.

About the central

character of this novel...

...his life is an ode to lost love.

Razia called it a river of love

flowing towards a sea of separation.

Now for the surprise.

The man who sailed across

the nine seas of lost love...

...in this book is here with us today.

Moreover, i'll be a part of

this wonderful marine city soon.

Ladies and gentlemen, allow me

to introduce mr. Vinay shankar.

Our romantic memoir.

Call it, our biographies.

In our collective memory,

there's a story untold.

As nine characters,

nine mood and a dam of emotion.

A voyage to the nine forms of

lost love under...

...the cosmic influences

of nine planets.

I'm not elaborating much,

a book is to be read.

I'm sure the two of you have heard

that ships are safest in the harbour.

But that's not where it's

meant to be. - Yes, sir.

Send a request to bunk at

the next port. - Okay, captain.

Superintendent has

called again for the reports.

Sir, we'll just have to manage

on some variable to dry though.

Really tell him to

shut up and get moving.

Hear this whole ship is older

than my cruise officer days.

Daddy. Whose ship are we going to?

To dad's old friend's ship.

And where are we going to?

Well, far, far away,

to your dad's place.

You want to see my home, son?

- Yes.

Your grandpa's there. - But mummy

told me that grandpa went to heaven.

You've got another grandpa.

Oh! Two grandpas? Will

mummy also come there?

No.

No, 8 short years, mate.

Where have you been? No emails,

no phone-calls, nothing!

We knew that you'd immigrate somewhere

proper but we'd no idea where.

A long story, mate.

Sam. Say hello.

Hello. My name is sam and

this is my octopian boy.

Octopian... but wow!

Sam, my name is freddie

and this is my octopian girl.

He's just being silly.

I'm razia. Come let's go.

Sam, here.

What's wrong?

- It's time for sam's next dose.

He's got diabetes.

Diabetes. It's for old people.

My son's got it a bit early.

Juvenile diabetes.

Sam, your hand.

Watch it.

It's paining.

So sam is really not medha's son.

Yeah. Apparently, he lost her.

She married some yachtsman.

Where is she?

He really didn't want to

talk about it...

...but i know that

he hasn't been home in years.

Can't believe it.

Here, have some coffee.

Darling, you make incredible coffee.

Some of the best.

But i told vinay that

we'll be going to...

...the seaman's club tonight

and have some drinks.

Sam...

- i'll take care of him.

"I walk away from the blue light."

Freddie, memories are like wine, man.

Tastes better with time.

You're absolutely right, vinay.

But bad memories get bitter with time.

Freddie man, memories come and go,

we don't have a choice.

You do remember your first love.

First love? I remember my first drink.

Well that's what my music will make.

Memories are like wine.

Freddy, you tell me,

what's more painful...

...unexpressed love or unrequited love?

If you'd expressed it on time...

...you'd would have gotten your love.

But it's too late.

It's time to board. I gotta go!

Vinay.

The surveyor has boarded,

will you make sure everything's alright?

I'll have a quick round.

- I'll take sam.

Sam, don't trouble razia. Okay?

If this ship sinks,

we can escape in these lifeboats.

And what if the lifeboat sinks?

Good question.

Well lifeboat rarely sink.

And even if they do, you've your

life jacket to keep you afloat.

But what if the life jacket sinks?

Arjit! Arjit!

Don't fire the boiler,

oil has accumulated on the floor?

Clean that out first.

Reporting.

I will!

Daddy!

Daddy.

Your daddy is busy, we'll go?

Okay.

Hey darling,

can you please come down to ccr?

I think i've a job for you.

Ok, i'll be right there.

Don't worry, give me an hour

i'll finish the calculations.

But filling those tanks

partially is dangerous.

It's better to fill

the double-bottom tanks instead.

But you've some problems

with your transfer lines.

Crap!

Is there anything?

Anything at all that works fine

on this 200 year old rust bucket.

Great.

You 2 carry on,

we'll see what's going on.

Go on.

This is 9 victa echo echo.

There's a fire onboard. Over.

We'll have to release the co2,

there's no other option. - Damn it!

Close the other doors.

Co2 released. Over.

My first co2 release experience.

Yeah, me too.

Crap, i've gotta give sam a shot.

The fire must've broken through that...

we've to lower those lifeboats

- have you seen sam?

Sam is sleeping in my room.

He's not there.

- What?!

He must be somewhere around.

I've looked around, he's not there.

Excuse me, have you seen sam?

Vinay! Vinay! Over!

Roger, vinay here. Over.

- Is sam with you?

No, over.

- Then i think you'd rather bolt.

Have you seen sam?

- No, i've not seen him.

Sam was in the engine room.

- What?

He came down searching for you.

No, vinay, you can't go

down without the oxygen mask.

Go check the bridge.

Check the bridge, quick!

Go to the battery room and see there...

nothing? Nothing!

Go forward! Forward!

Both of you... both of you go to

the pump room and look for sam now!

Wait! Wait!

Take him to the cabin.

Vinay! We found him!

Sam!

Sam!

I fell asleep.

I'm so sorry, vinay.

- It's alright.

Man, you've tried all

the available options?

Almost.

There's one last thing left.

One last hope.

What's bothering you? Sam's alright.

I'm just thinking

about vinay and mira.

I hate tragic love stories.

Well then, what kind of

love stories do you love?

Our kind.

Really?

- Yes.

Why is that?

Doesn't the sea look romantic?

It's beautiful.

But is not really half as

beautiful as you look right now.

I love you.

- Oh lady!

Let's not get too

carried away with this.

C'mon, let's go to bed.

Carry me, my captain, i'm tired.

Alright.

I was thinking how it'd feel...

...to have someone lying between us.

Someone we could call our own.

Am i so boring?

That you need somebody here with us?

Besides with somebody between us,

how can i hold you so closely?

Things like the repairs

will last for months.

It'd be easier to just

replace the whole engine room.

It's hard to get

spares for a girl that old.

Freddy, i need to take

some time off to go home.

I don't want to delay sam's treatment.
