Koi... Mil Gaya

The universe is made of

several groups of stars...

which are called the galaxies.

The galaxy our planet Earth belongs to

is called the Milky Way.

My husband, who was a space scientist

firmly believed...

that like the Milky Way, there

exist several other galaxies...

on which there could be life.

He had just one goal in life:

To discover life on other planets.

He had invented several types of

gadgets to collect data.

He used to send sound signals

into space...

and always said that a sound

is something that never dies.

That it reverberates in space forever.

He was sure that some day...

someone from another world would

listen to his sound signals...

and respond.

One evening...

Sonia!

Coming, dear. What happened?

Look! They're responding!

These sounds...?

I used the word "OM" to make a

pattern on this octopad.

I converted it digitally on the computer

to send sound bytes into space.

And look at this. Someone from

another world is responding to me.

I've succeeded in my research!

I've achieved a breakthrough, Sonia!

We must inform the

space centre immediately.

You see this Research Centre, Dr Mehra?

This is what we have been

researching for years...

and they contacted you of all the people?

How is that possible?

Why not? I too have spent a

lifetime doing this research.

I sent them various sound waves...

I invented so many sound

producing instruments

And after all my experiments,

when I sent the word "OM" to them...

in different variations and notes,

why isn't it possible that...

They say day-dreaming is a bad habit.

I must go home, to bed.

They don't realise that every discovery

or find is initially a dream.

Don't be disheartened.

People in the world always

reject new findings...

but accept them later.

That's what they're doing to us.

Is it possible for the worlds

in the universe...

separated by millions of miles...

to ever meet?- Why not?

Man has gone to the Moon. He has sent

space-shuttles to Mars and Jupiter.

Similarly, they must be trying

to find out about our world too.

Which is why UFO's

have often been sighted.

Why are the lights

going on and off?

What's happening?

Sanjay! Look there!

They didn't believe what I said.

But they've come!

No...

In a single moment, every dream

of our life was shattered.

The one who tried to

locate another world...

was lost to a world

no one knows about.

After his death, I had

no other support in Canada.

Rohit was very small,

so I came back home.

From what you say, I now understand

the whole case history.

These are the x-rays

of Rohit's brain.

See this white patch?

It's called the gliosys.

It's caused by an injury

to the brain.

But nothing of the sort

ever happened to Rohit, Doctor.

It did, Mrs Mehra, when you fell on

your stomach during the accident...

it caused an injury

to the baby's brain...

Who was in your womb and

this part of his brain was damaged.

That's why he doesn't have a normal

mental growth and is weak in studies.

Although he's eight, his brain is

that of a two-and-a-half-year old's.

I'm afraid, even when he grows up,

his mental faculties will be stunted.

There surely would be a cure, doctor?

- There is. A brain surgery.

However... - What?

Chances of success in this case

are very bleak.

If the surgery fails, his whole

body could be paralyzed.

or it could even result in death.

No. I've already lost

everything I ever had.

I have nothing except Rohit.

I can't afford to lose him.

"Although he's eight, his brain is

that of a two-and-a-half-year old's".

"Even when he grows up, his mental

faculties will be stunted".

Sorry, my foot! look at what you've

done to my house with that ball of yours.

I'm in the police force.

If you break another window pane...

I'll have you locked up.

Get that?

Argues with me.

Bloody crooks.

What harm have I done to you?

You've broken a window pane again!

I break your window pane.

But I do say sorry, don't I?

Are you doing me a favour?

How many years have I put up with you!

I'm not sparing you today. I'm not!

No one needs to be scared.

- Oh yes, let him come.

God! What have they done! They've

wrecked all the window panes!

The rain, the sunshine, the dust...

everything's in there, except me!

Don't get angry uncle.

When I grow up, I'll mend

all your windows Uncle.

How much more do you want to grow up?

You're as tall as a tree already.

You want to be the Eiffel Tower?

- Don't insult our friend.

We'll replace all your window panes.

- Go ahead and do it!

Let's have five hundred bucks first.

- Five hundred bucks? What for?

We'll have to buy new ones, you see.

So let's have the money.

Rascals! You ask a

policeman for money?

Get going before I give

you a thrashing! Scram!

Rohit, hurry up son.

You'll be late for school

Today's a very important day, Lord.

I'm going to a higher class.

The seventh standard.

Take care of me, Lord.

Ma, have you never been to school?

We don't carry old books to a new class.

I'll be given new books

in the seventh standard.

You're not going to

the seventh standard.

Why not? All my friends are!

You've failed your grades.

I've failed again?

Yes.

I'm not going to school. Never!

That teacher's a nasty man.

I do all my studies, he still fails me.

And he promotes everyone else.

That's why I will not go to school.

Study harder this time, Rohit.

You will surely pass.

No.

There will be new students

in my class, Ma.

They'll tease me and make fun of me.

They'll call me a tall stick and

other things. I'm not going to school.

Throw those books away.

I don't want them.

It is not possible, Mrs Mehra.

Forget about promoting Rohit

to the seventh standard...

he shouldn't be in this school

in the first place.

There are special schools

for children like him.

There is no school like that

in this town.

But I'm trying to get

a transfer to Delhi...

where there are special schools

for children like Rohit.

The chairman of the bank I'm working

for has even promised me a transfer.

It's only a matter of a year, sir.

One last favour, sir.

Teachers never consider educating

children a favour.

But giving him a promotion like this

won't help him in any way.

Father, I know Rohit will never

become what I wanted him to be...

nor what his father wished for him.

But still, for the sake

of Rohit's happiness...

please, I request...

This is the last time.

If x is equal to 12,

and y is equal to 8...

what would x plus 3y be?

Hurry up and write down the answer.

How much would x plus 3y be?

Show me your answer.

This is the right answer.

Yours ought to be the first hand to

rise in the class next time.

"The sight of the birds... "

"awakens a desire"

"Although we tread the earth... "

"we will reach for the skies"

"Can you tell me how we will

fly so high, without any wings?"

"Anything is possible,

anything can happen... "

"we aren't so naive"

"You will see,

there will come a day... "

"a day like that

will surely come... "
