"Don't earn the reputation

of being lazy"

"Some waste time sleeping, bringing trouble

to the country and to themselves"

You are walking inside

an An Gallery

You're completely

taken up by a picture

What picture would that be?

The picture of Charlie Chaplin

dressed up as Hitler

How will you handle

an angry customer?

I'll handle him like a baby

Do you have any questions?

How long will it take for me to

get to where you are today?

How much will

my salary be then?

We'll mail the details to you

What does that mean?

Oh, my god!

What happened?

You have given us

brilliant answers

I have written something

about you in this

Can you tell me what that is?

You might have written

'Narcolepsy'

Do you have Narcolepsy?

Have you not written

'Narcolepsy' on this paper?

Read it

Brilliant"?

I blurted this out then

Bye, sir

Why do you want to work

for this Company?

Just a moment

I have seen you somewhere

That's not possible

I have definitely

seen you somewhere

There's no chance

Why are you asking me

the same thing?

You please carry on

Don't you have Narcolepsy?

He got it

I have met you earlier

What is Narcolepsy?

It's a sleeping disorder

Don't feel bad

about the low salary

If you do a good job, I'll raise

your salary in two months

But you need to be

alert at work

Sure, sir

Stop this

I am feeling dizzy!

This is not stopping

I went for several interviews after that,

but the result was always the same

Will mail you

Let it go

You'll find another job

I want to do a lot for Mom

I've never even

bought her a Saree

If you need money,

take it from me

No

Some things give you joy only when you

do it with the money you've made

I need to buy a Laptop first

I've inquired about

a lot of online jobs

You can earn between

20 to 40,000 Rupees a month

I don't have to

bow down to anybody

If everything goes well...

...I'll go in for a Laser treatment

and get rid of these glasses

Everything will go fine

Drink your Those were days of

total emptiness

The whole day would be

spent only at home

How many times

do I tell you?

Can we speak to him

just once?

Are you heartless?

Go away

What's happening, Mom?

Who are they?

It's nothing

It's getting late, let's eat

Madam, please understand

He's not some caged animal

that you can gape at

Mom...?

Only I know

what I am going through

- What is it, mom?

- Keep quiet

We're here from

a Medical College

You are a Narcolepsy-

Don't you understand

what I am saying?

Just two hours will do

If you come there, it'll give our students

a chance to understand Narcolepsy

Please come, sir

Will you pay me if I come?

What are you saying?

Did I give birth to you to make money

out of people gaping at you?

It's no different now

People still gape at me

But, they do it for free

Let these people pay me

to look at me

How much will you pay me

to come to your College?

Wait, mom

What do you expect?

Will you pay me Rs 50,000?

This happens when the Brain is unable

to follow a clear sleep cycle

Does it have any symptoms?

The whole class falls asleep

during Anatomy class

Are you saying we suffer

from Narcolepsy?

Our sleep is controlled

by an internal clock

Our brain stays awake

when we receive its signals

When the signals drop,

the circuit shuts down

That's when we sleep

He falls asleep with any

extreme emotion

You can call that Cataplexy

If any extreme emotion makes

him sleep, can he not have sex?

Just like any other man,

he will have such desires

But when he touches a woman

with that intention,

...that's when trouble starts

I've heard of several Narcolepsy

patients committing suicide

It's a big deal that he has led

a successful life this long

Have you ever felt heartbroken

about having such a problem?

It was fun when I was

too young to understand it

I would fall asleep in Class

The boys would get irritated

But I felt bad after

I understood the problem

I can't go out by myself

I didn't get a job

People have made fun of me

Some people need pills to sleep,

some need liquor

While some have to pay

for their sleep,

I'm happy I can

fall asleep naturally

I don't know how many

people here pity me

But the way I see it,

I've started earning money

The one thing that stopped me from

getting a job is what got me my first pay

tiff

"Hey, I am floating"

"It's making me fly all over"

"The breeze pushes the door open

and my heart flies"

"Even if I fall, get up and fall again,

even if I fall I gain something"

"Even if I stand, walk, go straight and fall,

Luck comes knocking on my door"

"Who wound up

the sleeping doll with a key?"

"Look, it walks shaking

his hand and legs happily"

"The Present and the Future will now

change for the better"

"I float away, catch me"

tiff

"I was like a snail

I would curl up in a jiffy"

"I now feel like waking up

walking brusquely"

"I was like a boat,

if you shook me, I would overturn"

"I now feel like swimming

even beyond a cyclone"

"A deflated ball now

bounces off for a six"

"Good times now salute me!"

"How much does

the Moon cost?"

"How much does

the Sun cost?"

"I'll buy them up whole,

better watch out"

tiff

"Hey, I am floating"

"It's making me fly all over"

'Dear voters,

please vote for us-'

tiff

"It rained heavily"

"Slowly, the branches opened,

and the sleepy tree blossoms"

"Afraid of tearing, the kite that was

lying in the attic has now started to fly"

"Seeds that fall to the ground

are meant to grow into trees"

"That is life, oh friend"

"Even if it is just a Zero,

when you draw a line next to it..."

"...its value immediately goes up"

tiff

"Hey, I am floating"

"It's making me fly all over"

tiff

I bought a Laptop

with the money I got

I started earning Rs 20, 000

a month through online jobs

I got Mom to rest

It's a middle class life

I am making

Rs 20,000 a month

But, you know

Chennai is expensive

I bought a Bike on Loan

to keep my job

I have to pay my dues,

eat, and live my life

Give me time to

return your money

I am not going to run away

Take this

What is this?

I know you asked

Satish for money

- Take it

- No...!

I earn now

Mom doesn't have to

work anymore

The next on my list

is my 3rd wish

'Walk on the road by myself'

I was scared

But something gave me

the confidence

Oh, my God!!

I didn't even run into him

He's fallen

I almost ran into him,

but I didn't

Could he be one of those who pretends

to be hurt to demand money?

He doesn't seem that way

Let's check his breathing

He's breathing

Why did you die

all of a sudden?

He was fine

He fell to the ground

while crossing the road and died

Poor guy,

he's an orphaned body

lam not going to

compel anyone

Give me what you can to help

Give me any amount

He seems so peaceful,

as if he's asleep

Why are they throwing

only small change?

Aren't there any good souls

who'll give generously?

Come on, people

I don't want your Vote

I only want your Notes (money)

Make way
