You are now in the limits

of multiphase.

But not beyond space,

A bit strange!

"When the high has broken, it's

shards fall near and far"

"We pick the bits, collect our

wits, what smoky fools we are"

Hello?

- K!

Anjali?

Where are you?

You're alive!

- What do you mean alive?

I'm dreaming again...

Why did you ask me if I was alive?

K!

Why you doubt I am alive...

Do you remember that recurring

dream I used to have,

every time I fell asleep in the

bathtub! I found myself in the...

What are you talking about?

My dream!

My dream.

Where are you?

- How did you call me here?

I got the number from your office

How?

- K!

I'm your wife!

I'm your secretary!

Remember!

You didn't want anyone at the

office to know...

...that I was your wife too

You liked that they

gossiped about us

What nonsense!

My secretary got married!

To you K!

K please!

- What's happened to you?

I think I'm having a nightmare

I need a cigarette!

I can't take this anymore

I would rather that

Guruji kill me...

If I smoke...

he'll kill me.

He'll kill me if I

so much as light it

I'll call you back!

Cigarette?

No!

- Close it!

Shoot me...

Shoot me...

Or give me a cigarette...

Give me a cigarette...

Give me a cigarette...

Give me a cigarette,

I wanna smoke...

Where are you taking me?

And what's the bathtub doing in

the middle of the snow desert...

I don't know...

Next time try jumping in it,

instead...

...you might find another way...

Stop!

Hey! I'm telling you! Stop!

Stop! I'll shoot

What...

I was supposed to wake up in

my bathtub. Why am I here?

He emerged from a cupboard.

And he from a elmira...

I always emerge from under the bed

They said they'd bathe us today

C'mon, let's go... It's

not him... Let's go...

Your body...

He can't see you...

If you want, you can speak

to him over the phone

All you need is a one rupee coin...

You forgot to give them

the rupee, didn't you?

So did I?

K!

He says there's no problem now

Everything is fine!

It'll all come back to you slowly

I felt as though someone

was calling out to me.

That was your voice...

your inner self,

Your soul.

Soul!

Smoke?

Soul...

The inner soul...

...is often frivolous, debauch,

indulgent...

...but with a strong mind

you can control it...

...but if you are inherently

weak then my son,

...the wandering soul has

to be released, let go...

Time for the bath.

The new guy, in the black coat!

Even he is going to be ruined.

Who are these people?

Why are they staring at me?

Come with me.

Hello!

I'm asking you!

Move away from the windows!

Away from the windows!

Those who have made the full

payment need not take the bath.

The rest please stand in a queue.

This bed...

Don't know where it came from?

This is my bed.

This is my table. -So, it is obvious

that this chair belongs to you.

No, only the table.

That's my name!

Yeah. Even I didn't get

it the first time!

I always came out of the bathtub...

Me too!

Don't stop. Keep moving.

What do we do?

What do we do?

He's fooling around with us...

Let's take him into custody.

He'll be singing in

four hours flat...

Ok.

This is the same cop!

Soul-full, the body is

divine... Soul-less, its dead...

Means what?

Lets go!

"With the burnt out stubs

of a thousand days"

In this lab...

...its our responsibility...

to make you kick your extreme...

...craving for the cancer stick...

"With the burnt out stubs

of a thousand days"

...and if we fail to deliver...

...then we have no option left...

...but to send you

down the road no...

...Sane person would walk on...

Because my son, Soul-full

the body is divine...

...Soul-less its dead...

The end.

To all present, kindly reach the

common bath in the next two minutes.

The doors are about to open.

"This ashtray's slowly filling"

"Crimson little bits of desire"

"Slowly spark, relight the fire"

"This ashtray's slowly filling"

"Slowly filling..."

"The smoke slowly coils"

"Smoke..."

"The smoke slowly coils,

a snake on the wind"

You owe me...

One rupee?

That's my fee in cash!

One rupee?

Give him!

No!

I can only accept it from him

This is also belongs to him!

Will a fiver do?

No that's fine...

This debt will lay a heavy

burden on your soul!

Make him bathe...

"This ashtray's slowly filling"

"With the burnt out stubs

of a thousand days"

"With the burnt out stubs

of a thousand days"

"Watch, don't touch it."

"Those moments scorched...

...by time still smolder"

"Those moments scorched...

...by time still smolder"

"You'll burn your fingers"

"For at last this ashtray's full"

It's a fool proof program!

Believe me!

They made me quit...

Even Abbas

At least check it out!

I can take an appointment

for you if you want...

What inconvenience, man!

That's what friends are for!

"We are in a game. I see a party."

"I want to gate crash but

it is not always easy..."

"They never seem to be

looking in your eyes..."

"...you want to cry, you want to

die, but you can't even get by..."

"Puff it, blow it, smoke it"

"Puff it, blow it, smoke it"

"Puff it, blow it, smoke it"

"Puff it, blow it, smoke it"

"Puff it, blow it, smoke it"

"Puff it, blow it, smoke it"

"Puff it, blow it, smoke it"

"Puff it, blow it, smoke it"

"Smoke your life..."

"Smoke away your senses..."

"Smoke the weave of your

breath-laced offenses"

"Puff it, blow it, smoke it"

"Puff it, blow it, smoke it"

"This heady high, and

the whole world sways"

"This tongue-less lie

will speak anyways"

"Smoke the word that

scorches your lip"

"Smoke the ash of night to its tip"

"Smoke away the dark,

the night is smoke"

"Puff it, blow it, smoke it"

"Puff it, blow it, smoke it"

"Puff it, blow it, smoke it"

"Puff it, blow it, smoke it"

"When the high has broken...

...it's shards fall near and far"

"We pick the bits, collect our

wits, what smoky fools we are"

"Sip by sip, I scald my lip,

I drink the dew of bark"

"My eyes that spoke,

now wisps of smoke"

"Now wisps of smoke"

"Puff it, blow it, smoke it"

"Puff it, blow it, smoke it"

"Puff it, blow it, smoke it"
