Soopra village

Hello

- Hello

Where are you from?

Delhi

The Capital

I'm from Maliyabad

Ever heard of it?

- Yes, sir

When was that?

Just now sir, from you!

This highway goes along

the river from Srinagar to Leh

It's the only link

between Kashmir and Ladakh

You see those mountains?

The LOC is behind that range

and across it are pakistani posts

You'll see it today

Everything okay here?

- Yes, sir. Nothing to worry

Where's Capt. Ravindran?

- In the bunker, sir

Allright, carry on

Do you see the pakistani

post over there?

Wow! Unbelievable

That pillar marks the LOC

and from here to there

is no man's land...

Not ours Not theirs

Even so, we exchange

fire almost every day

If there's firing

we also retaliate

That's amazing

It's like I've always known,

but somehow...

I've never felt this Indian before

I'm an Indian

I still remember seeing

these borders for the first time

I understand how you must feel

Come, let's go

I have been moved by

the affection and hospitality...

...extended to me...

...and the delegation

of eminent persons...

...who accompanied me

jammu and Kashmir is one

of the issues...

...we are discussing...

...within the framework of

our composite dialogue

You were watching our live

telecast from the Wagah border

This is a historic day

Today, India and pakistan

can hope that these steps...

will bridge the distance

that has long divided us

Stay tuned for the news

in English, Thank you

Out. - Guruvindhar, was that okay?

- Perfect

Romila, call for you

Thank you

Hi Rajiv, tell me?

I've to read the news at 8,

lets meet after that

Okay, bye

Thanks

This must be special

- What do you mean?

I mean, we met by chance

kept running into each other

and now we're more than good friends

There must be something special

- perhaps

How about getting married?

What do you think?

Rajiv, its very sweet of you

We're friends, why not

leave it at that?

Do you plan on marrying

someone you hate?

Look, it's not like you

don't know me or don't like me...

I hope

- Of course I like you

You know it

Then what's the problem?

I haven't thought about marriage

So give it a thought now

Okay, say you'll think of it

Or is it asking too much?

No, it's not that

I'll think about it

Hi mom

When did you come?

- A little while ago

Dinner?

- I've eaten

What're you reading?

Have a lecture at 9 tomorrow,

just making some notes

Rajiv asked me to marry him

What did you say?

What should I have said?

I think... whatever it was

you and Karan shared

...it's in the past?

It's something like that

What do you think?

You can't spend the

rest of your life in mourning

That's true but...

But what?

Nothing

Come on! Come on

Good shot

Well done Karan! Well done

Come on! Come on

Hello sir

- Hi Karan

You see that?

Sir

The snow is melting

Summer is here

How cold does it get

up there in winter, sir?

Minus forty degree, minus fifty degree

- Really

Yes, it's difficult to stay up there

Both, the pakistanis and

we vacate our posts in winter

It's like a gentleman's pact

that neither of us will

take advantage of this

Once the weather changes,

we man our posts again

I'd like to go there, sir

Someday you'll have to

Check

- Check

Sure you aren't a cousin of our

Grandmaster vishwanath Anand?!
