"When there's a solution to a problem,

there's no need to worry"

"If there's no solution,

it's no good worrying"

"So, stop worrying"

And have the herbal tea

from time to time

Ask the monk

if this is tea or kerosene

You can ask him

once you get well

"Kaaya, a bullet wound

is something serious"

"Lama Norbu has no doubt cured him,

but this is not where he belongs"

He must go back

Didn't you see?

He is eager to get back

He will go as soon as he gets well

How soon will he get well?

- One month

Maybe sooner.

We need to have patience

What are you writing?

A poem

Poem?

Yes

The valley is so quiet

that I find it suffocating

"When I try to pen something,

chaos takes over my mind..."

and breaks the silence

It's really quiet out here

I can hear my heartbeats

Let me hear.

What have you written?

No

Please

Let me feel the chaos

in your mind

Shall I...?

- Please

Open your eyes

Lend me your ears

I have much to offer

But I wish to offer

something that belongs to me

A ray of sunlight...

a droplet of sky...

half a cuckoo's call...

and some fantasies

"If you like it,

ask for more"

For all that I have to offer...

I wish to offer something

from my heart

A mirror like the sky...

a tinful of butterflies...

a spoonful of waves...

and a fistful of life

"If you like it,

ask for more"

For all that I have to offer...

I wish to offer something

from my heart

Time to give you medication.

I'll get it

Kaaya...

Nothing

"What's on your mind, my child?"

Nothing

"I was feeling scared inside,

so I came out"

One must have a grip

over one's desires

You never know

when they come true

The greatest joy is

in seeking the truth

"Everything else is a waste, dear"

Everything

No!

Give it to me

Give it to me

Give it here

Don't touch it again

Want to play?

You can play now

I'll let you play this time

Never again

Lamo! What's going on?

"Lamo, go outside.

I'll be there"

It was empty

He was just playing with it

"I thought, the gun was..."

Out of question! It is about you

and your ideals

"Let alone play, Lamo is not even

supposed to touch such things"

"In fact, none of us is"

And listen... as long as

you are with us...

I would like you...

to respect our traditions

and our trust

I apologise

Keep this

where Lamo can't reach it

"Deputy Commissioner of Police, Delhi,

Sushil Mathur here"

"We need a little help from you, sir"

"Sure, sir.

Tell me"

Tell me... what can I do

for the guys from Delhi?

I'm looking for a girl

She is connected

to the Buddhist monastery

"Sir, there are lots

of monasteries around here"

Which area are you talking about?

"I don't know, sir.

All I know is the girl's name"

Kaaya

Well... her full name?

"No idea, sir"

Whereabouts?

I wouldn't call you

if I knew that

"I mean, which street? Lane?

Telephone number?"

"No sir, nothing.

Because..."

the folks in my department

have only revealed to me...

"her name, and that she is

connected to a Buddhist monastery"

We have lots of monasteries here.

- Really?

"One monastery here, one there,

one right here in Manali;..."

where do we go looking for her?

To go looking for her is like trying

to find a needle in the sand

It concerns a death of a policeman.

He was murdered

One of us has died

"Won't you help us out, sir?"

Won't you make a call

for us right now?

"Sir, were there

phones in monasteries..."

I would've surely called

Really? Thank you

I have gained much general knowledge

talking to you

Now please hang up

What's that?

Your clothes are still bloodstained

I have given them for a wash

Until then you can wear these

Another thing. In these clothes

you can pass off as one of us

Is there a telephone nearby?

"You will find one at the army camp,

beyond the valley"

No. I need a public telephone

There's one in the village

But you are not in a state

to go outside

I need to go

No. Lama Norbu has asked...

- I know what he has said

"All right, father will

drop you halfway"

"You will have to tread alone further.

But, hurry up"

Thanks for saving my life

Thanks for what?

I have only repaid you in kind

Is he coming?

What's the matter?

"What makes you laugh?

- Nothing, sir"

There's surely something

Tell me.

What is it?

Just thinking. For all the load

that the poor ass takes...

he gets beaten up

The Creator made humans

as well as asses

Then why is it that

humans can ride an ass...

but an ass can't ride on humans?

I see

"So you feel for the ass, eh?"

"Get off, and walk"

"There's the city,

and this is the road"

Get off

C'mon

What makes you laugh again?

Nothing.

It feels good to look at you

"When you are angry,

you look like a human being"

Are you all right?

I'm coming over...

to do what I left incomplete

Have things cooled down?

"No, it's heated up like never before"

Don't come back

Don't come to Delhi...

don't even think of it

How long will I continue to hide?

I have to return one day

"For my sake, Shiven!"

"Don't make this mistake,

for God's sake"

"Look, the Commissioner has set

an entire army after you"

Have patience.

Stay wherever you are

And listen...

keep calling me

I'll inform you as soon

as things cool down here

"Zakir, I'm so fortunate"

"In such times,

I have a friend like you"

When are you going back?

Bear with me for a few days more

What are you upto?

"As long as I'm here, I think

I must help you folks in some way"

I'll cook food today

Where did you learn to cook?

Loneliness is a teacher

that teaches so much

Just watch. I'm going

to make such a lentil-curry...

that you folks are going

to just relish

"Wonderful.

Amazing lentil-curry, Kaaya"

"Shiven cooked the fare, today"

It's a bit salty

Looks like you are

perfectly all right

No wonder you are fixing your car

"And you are cooking, too"

Which means you can

also help me a bit

"Why not, sir?

What do you want me to do?"

Not now. Tomorrow morning

Got to milk the churu

Churu...?

"Yes, churu. A yak"

Ever seen one?

I think I've seen it in a picture

"So, get introduced tomorrow morning"

Get up

It's four. Time to milk the yak

Come on

C'mon...

get cracking

Do what?

Do what?

"Hold, press, pull... and draw milk"

Well young man?

"Your hands don't shiver

while pulling the trigger, do they?"

Hold it

Milking is really a terrible job

What are you watching?

Sunrise

"In the city, we hardly

have the time to look at the sky"

I want to hold this beauty...

"in my fists, for ever"

"Nothing is for ever, Shiven"

"We believe that,

change takes place constantly"

We don't hold on to things

That is why we keep statues

made of butter at the doors

In the afternoon

when the temperature starts rising...

the butter statues begin to melt

It reminds us that

every thing comes to an end...

perishes

Nothing is for ever

It's time for meditation.

I must leave

How many times do you meditate

in a day?

"Thrice, as of now"

I'll meditate six times a day

when I'm back at the gompa
