Oh please! - -Hello brother...

...we're hungry. Come fast.

Listen, get us one Keema Matar,

one Chicken Bharta,

two boneleess Mutton tadkas,

and Nan for any of you?

None of us.

Four Tawa rotis,

we'll tell you if we need more.

And one Masala cold drink,

without lime.

Salad? Onions? -

- No!

You can find mouth freshners

in India, you know.

No, you see...

onions aren't good for health.

Don't overdo it. You'll

have to see a doctor eventually!

What you need more than a doctor,

Mr. Hajra...

...is rest.

These hallucinations, visions or

nightmares; whatever you call them,

if they keep increasing then

it's going to take a toll on your... -

- Heart.

Tell me something new, doctor.

Something I don't know.

Like...

...will this ever get cured?

Will it ever... - -See...

...I've spoken to three

internationally acclaimed...

...parapsychologists

regarding your problem.

I've had a detailed discussion

with Dr. Debasish Ghosh here as well.

Let me explain.

This part of the brain

is called Hippocampal gyrus.

This is our memory centre.

New and old,

all memories are stored here.

Now this Hippocampalgyrus...

...can be aroused

in many ways. Like...

...ringing bells in temple chants,

chanting of the word 'Om' etc.

...all of these generate

3.5 Hz brainwave.

At this 3.5 Hz...

...Hippocampal gyrusstarts resonating.

During that, the old memory,

even past life memory may come back.

Now the second possible explanation.

There's a gland called

the Pineal gland here,

which is called, the Third eye.

Now, we don't know how or why

this gets aroused but if it does...

...your lost memory

may suddenly come back.

The third explanation is,

genetic memory.

Carl Jung said,

'Collective unconscious'.

We're all connected to each

other in some way or the other...

...via our DNA.

This too is possible that

you may have a genetic connect...

...with the person,

whose memories have come back to you.

Whatever that may be...

...now the problem is, the memories

that are coming back to you...

...if they keep increasing

in frequency and intensity,

it may subvert your

present memory and...

...turn these memories

into your dominant memories.

And during this,

not only schizophrenia

and split personality,

...there's a chance of identity

crisis or memory replacement too. -

- Just a minute. Can you explain

this in an easier language.

As in, how long will

his normal memory last?

As in, before he... -

- Before I lose himself.

Well, difficult to say.

Matters of the brain, you see.

May take weeks or even a year.

Depends on the rate of replacement

by the dominant memory.

See, due to the neural

plasticity of the Hippocampus,

a consolidation of memory occurs.

May lead to a regression too.

As in, this growth may become slower.

It may even come

to a halt one fine day.

Yes!

But how?

Avery common and easy

way is reconciliation.

As in revisiting the places and the

people whom you see in the visions.

No, that's not working.

That's why I shifted to Chandannagore

from Asansol but it increased.

Next... as in is there another way?

There is another way.

Past life regression.

Do you have any trauma

from your past life...

...that had given you a big shock?

Or a very important task

that you couldn't complete?

Mr. Hajra, were you looking

for someone or something?

Or are you still searching?

Don't worry,

I think whatever had happened...

...I think you must

not worry about this.

Things will get better. You... -

- Hey wait! Stop the car!

Stop! - -What happened?

What happened Mr. Kushal...

...where are you going! Mr. Kushal...

Don't go Mr. Kushal!

Wait!

What are you doing? Leave me!

He's...

...okay fine.

Pull over.

Pull over.

Mr. Kushal!

Give way, will you?

Greetings, sahib.

Some cash is required

to build the wall on the North.

So Madam asked me to tell you. -

- Come and take it tomorrow.

So, where is she?

She was here a while ago. Should I... -

- That won't be necessary.

I will find Soudamini myself.

Mr. Kushal...

...what are you looking at?

Let's go! Mr. Kushal...

Mr. Kushal, come with me.

Come on, let's leave!

Amitabh and Sudeshna

have settled down too.

At least now you

must look for someone.

Love is incapable of taming me.

And I can't settle down with someone.

I'll have to unsettle up.

Why?

Sujit was a nice guy.

Waste of time.

And Amiya? -

- Casting pearls before swine.

Oh really! And you are such a pearl!

Human Elsa. Born Free.

That's enough! Arguing all the time.

Switch on the Bengali

channel on the TV.

My serial is about to begin.

What's this?

Have you really gone mad?

Why this Gujarati channel? Asked

you to switch on the Bengali channel.

Mom, when did you realize

that Dad's case was real?

Huh?

Real? -

- Hmm.

It's not an infatuation

or a passing phase...

...it's the real thing.

True love...

...and all that jazz.

On my way back from the crematorium...

Mr. Kushal...

...come.

What? Come inside.

Sit.

Tell me.

Any problem?

Can't get sleep?

Sorry.

Sorry?

For what?

I mean...

...anything could've

happened on the road.

Because of...

...I lost myself.

Don't even think

about it, Mr. Kushal.

Losing yourself for something,

I know how that feels.

It's not always in your control.

Thank you.

What are you writing?

All that I've...

...read...

...learnt...

...understood...

felt... all these years...

...now they want to come out.

What is it?

A song?

Want to listen to it?

This is the first draft.

Written for someone very special.

Okay.

So...

...what's her name?

As they say...

...everything is 'Maya' (illusion).

Into my life, Out of the blue,

Did you arrive, Tell me, did you?

My broken life, It's frayed brink,

Of city-days', just at the kink,
