We are a group. Ten students and two teachers.

-Are you all NCC cadets? -Yes.

Okay.

Could you give me a side-seat?

-Right, window seat. -Okay.

-Enjoy! -Thank you.

You put it in like this and pull.

All set?

-Good morning! -Good morning!

I am Natalia D'Costa, the captain of this flight.

We have an NCC batch flying with us today.

They have been selected for the Republic Day parade.

I used to be in the NCC too.

Just thought of those days when I saw you.

So, we are off to Delhi!

Have a great flight!

-Ma'am? -Yes?

Could I see the cockpit?

-What's your name? -Pallavi Raveendran.

What's this, Pallavi? Keep quiet!

-Thank you! -Come, come.

Thank you!

You haven't forgotten your boarding pass, right?

-No, teacher. -Thank you!

Pallavi?

-Come. -Thank you.

Come.

Thank you.

You aren't allowed in. Only pilots.

That's the law.

Ma'am, are you going to be flying to another place from here?

I'll fly tonight to Dubai, and from there to London.

After two days, back to India. Then again to Germany.

May I ask you something?

-Hope that's okay with you. -You've already asked something.

Shoot.

What's the reason you chose this profession?

Because no other job gives you a schedule like the one I just said.

Or rather, because all other jobs are down on earth.

We're always flying!

Dad!

Dad, I want to become a pilot!

Initially, I did not take it seriously, but she kept on it.

And she made it.

This is, in fact, a surprise for her.

-She doesn't know yet about her selection. -What's she doing now?

It's the second year of her degree.

Now she will have to discontinue that.

So, as I was saying, this job is not a hobby for me.

I need the money.

All the money I got on retirement was spent on my elder daughter.

Now this is the only...

My dad won't spare me if he comes to know I bargained with you.

-But as you know, I am a beginner. -Yes.

-I am just getting the hang of things. -Okay.

So, this is what I can afford...

for now.

-Hey! How'd the interview go? -Pallavi, where's everyone?

-Commerce Department. Room 12. -Okay!

Can't you pull that up a bit?

-Let's go? -But I have recitation.

Tell me how the interview went.

Pallavi, this is not the dance costume you sent me the picture of, right?

It was changed suddenly last afternoon.

The other one was not very comfortable for anyone.

And even Mr. Sandeep said this one was fine.

I am asking why I did not know!

Or does only Mr. Sandeep have to know?

I forgot, Govind. Now don't make a big issue of it.

-Tell me how the interview went. -No miracles happened.

What?

Are you angry because you did not ace the interview

or because I am wearing this dress?

Did you like my dance?

Winners of the group dance competition,

first place goes to chest number 4.

Oh, my God!

Okay, come on!

One, two...

I'll be right back!

We never expected it!

Go ahead. I'm leaving.

"Even if that night and the mountains glowing

in the moonlight remain unchanged,

we can never be those lovers again.

How we have changed!"

Malayalam recitation. First prize.

Pallavi Raveendran? Won't you stay to watch?

Who's that for?

Just tell me if it's good or not.

-Did you see the price tag? -Yes!

-Pack this for me. -Okay, sir.

When a pilot trainee with a 65-liter Wildcraft bag

walks into the campus, it's her father who swells with pride.

Friday, 2:30, Mumbai flight.

Yes!

So you are going to fly now?

Wonder if you will remember those you leave behind.

As you said today, there goes my singing and dancing!

It's a tough syllabus.

W-I-N-G.

-Who knows? It's Mumbai! -Son...

Must be all-night parties and dance clubs.

Oh, shut up.

Are the men's and women's hostels on the same campus?

I don't know.

Govind?

-Aren't you happy for me? -Definitely!

At least one of us is getting a chance for a good future.

I'm very happy.

I'll call you.

Honey, shall we?

Dad.

There's something I need to tell you.

You said the first two services would be free.

-Now you are telling a different story. -Any service entails a small charge.

-What? -A small charge.

Small charge? Rs. 3,000 is a small amount?

You think so? Take a look at this!

-Tell me! -Excuse me.

Govind?

He's speaking with a customer. There.

Either you give me an explanation...

or call your manager!

Sir, excuse me a minute!

The manager will be right here. Please wait, okay?

Let the manager come.

You've been here for two months now?

Yes, almost.

Campus selection...

No, at that time I was...

I wasn't well.

I have an issue with migraines.

I have a cousin in Riyadh

who is helping me find a better job.
