(kind attention to passengers. Train No. ##### has arrived on platform 4)
Granny
Granny
Brother, can you please lift this.
Porter
Porter
Yes granny. Let me lift it.
Granny
Granny
How much you will charge for carrying these?
Porter
Porter
50 rupee, granny.
(Rupee - Indian currency)
Granny
Granny
Just for lifting luggages from here to the main entrance, you charge 50 rupee? I will give only 30.
Porter
Porter
What granny, just understand. With this additional 20 rupee, I am not going to build a castle.
Porter
Porter
Hey idiot, why are you clashing at me. Watch your steps while walking.
Astro
Astro
Sorry brother. I am in a hurry.
Porter
Porter
Stupid people, can't manage their time and always running in platform in a hurry.
Kale
Kale
Hey Astro. Turn to your left.
Astro
Astro
Hey Kale. I was searching for you in other platform.
Kale
Kale
I was waiting for you here. So, how was the journey?
Astro
Astro
It was good until 5 minutes back.
Kale
Kale
What happened?
Astro
Astro
 I thought your train arrived already and was running in platform searching for you and hit a porter by mistake. He gave me nicely.
Kale
Kale
Oh. They just announced my train will be arriving late. I guess it would take 2 more hours.
Astro
Astro
I see. Then I will wait till your train arrives.
Kale
Kale
No, it's ok. I can manage.
Astro
Astro
Hmm. How is Stacey? Did anyone called you after reaching hospital?
Kale
Kale
Yes. She is taking glucose. Seems like she hasn't taken any food during travel and fainted. You didn't talk to them?
Astro
Astro
Nope, my mobile fell down and was not functioning after that.
Kale
Kale
Okay. Then note the address of the hotel, where you will be staying tonight. Just call them and inform once.
Astro
Astro
Yup. Be safe. Let me know once you get into the train.
Kale
Kale
Yes. Repair your mobile first.
Astro
Astro
Yup. Bye then.
(Astro reaches the hotel, refreshes himself, has his dinner and watching TV)
(Suddenly his doorbell rings)
Astro
Astro
I am coming.
(Astro opens the door and got stunned)
Astro
Astro
Hey Kale, why are you here? You are supposed to be travelling in your train now.
Kale
Kale
Yes, but there is a change in our plan. Since Stacey is getting better, Zaf will take her back to her home and others will be reaching here the day after tomorrow.
Astro
Astro
Is it? At Least you should have called me, so that I could have picked you up from the railway station.
Kale
Kale
Are you sure, your mobile is in a condition to receive calls?
Astro
Astro
Oops. I forgot. You ate anything?
Kale
Kale
No.
Astro
Astro
Let me get you something.
Kale
Kale
It's already 9.30 p.m. and shops, restaurants have been closed everywhere. I couldn't find anything while coming here.
Astro
Astro
You eat biscuits?
Kale
Kale
It's okay, I had heavy lunch. So, I can manage.
Astro
Astro
Come on, have this biscuits, else you will feel hungry in midnight.
(Astro gave bread and biscuits to Kale and she went to her room to take rest. Since they haven't cancelled any booked rooms as the hotel management said they won't refund the money, it helped her now. Astro has the habit of writing a diary daily night on what happened the whole day. Astro opens his diary and started writing on what happened on present day)
"It is January 22, 2019. The day which had so many surprises for me. Let me put it from the beginning. Stacey, Zaf, Kale, Lianne, Herald and me planned a trip to Leh and Ladakh a few months back. Since we all stayed in different locations, our starting date for the trip was different and we planned to meet in a common place on Jan 22, which is today. Things went as per the plan. We boarded the train/flight to reach Shimla. Today afternoon I received a call from Zaf saying "Stacey is sick and they are taking her to hospital to a nearby city and our trip has been cancelled". Zaf and Herald took Stacey to hospital and Kale was supposed to leave by 8.00 p.m. For me, the return ticket was booked for tomorrow. So, I met Kale at the railway station in the evening and came to this hotel to take some rest and leave tomorrow from here to my place. People used to say, when one good thing happens, it will start to happen in a series. First good news is Stacey is fine and her health is improving. Next good news is, we are going to resume our trip plans. Final one, I can't say that now. So for the first time in my life, I am going to travel/spend a day with a girl, so I should follow 2 main things. 1) Try as much as possible to not spend time with her. 2) If point 1 fails, try that again. Hope, point 1 will help me because I have to repair my mobile and it will take more than 2 hours. So, I can tell her to go and enjoy the day as per her plan as I will be going to repair my mobile. By this way I can escape from being with her. It's not like I hate her that much but I never spent a whole day with a girl and I don't know what to do, what not to do etc. That is why I haven't even asked her for tomorrow's plan. My plan is to wake up late, go to the mobile shop and repair the mobile, have lunch, come back to my room and take a rest. Next day the rest of my friends will come and I will join them.
(Astro goes to sleep)
(Someone is ringing his room bell. Astro wakes up and checks the time. It is 6.00 a.m. He wonders who wakes him up at this time. When he opened the door, it was Kale. She already got ready and was combing her hair.)
Kale
Kale
Good morning Astro.
Astro
Astro
Good morning. You woke up so early and got ready. What is your plan?
Kale
Kale
To go to space.
Astro
Astro
Shall I laugh tomorrow, for this joke.
Kale
Kale
Idiot, why we came here. To book a room and take rest? Get ready soon. I will wait in a hotel which is downstairs, for breakfast.
Astro
Astro
For breakfast? Ok, I will come in a few minutes.
(Astro gets ready and goes to the hotel for breakfast. Both had their breakfast.)
Astro
Astro
Okay Kale. Go safe. Stay with people. Don't go alone anywhere. If anything, call me.
Kale
Kale
What Sir is going to do?
Astro
Astro
Mobile shops open around 10.00 a.m.. So, I have to go there and repair my mobile, which will take some 2-3 hours. I don't want to waste your time for me. So, you execute today's plan and return soon. Tomorrow, once everyone reaches here, I will join you all.
Kale
Kale
Have you ever got slapped from any girl except your mother?
Astro
Astro
No. But why are you asking this now?
Kale
Kale
 If you don't come with me today, that will happen now.
Astro
Astro
No, it's okay Kale. You carry on with your plans.
Kale
Kale
I will kill you. Don't you have common sense. This place is new for both of us and you are not even accompanying me.
Astro
Astro
No Kale. It's not like that.
(Astro remains silent for a minute)
Astro
Astro
Give me five minutes. I will pack things and come.
Kale
Kale
Hmm.
(Kale calls to trip organizers and arranges a vehicle. Meanwhile Astro went to the room and came back by taking required things)
Astro
Astro
Kale, what is the plan for the day. Which place we are going to cover. You called and informed the car driver?
Kale
Kale
Idiot. Ask one question at a time. Today's plan is to cover a lake which is some 30 kms from here. Then from there we will go to 'Khardung la" which is a mountain pass, fully covered with snow. We do have few valleys in between.
Astro
Astro
Okay. When will the car come?
Kale
Kale
Why car? They will bring a Royal Enfield bike in 20 min. We will be traveling by bike. No issues for me to come with you.
(Royal Enfield - It is a motor cycle of brand Royal Enfield (RE))
Astro
Astro
For you no issues but I have many issues.
Kale
Kale
What?
Astro
Astro
 I am saying sorry now itself. You should not get angry.
Kale
Kale
 I won't. First tell what it is.
Astro
Astro
I haven't ridden an RE before.
Kale
Kale
It's like other bikes only. Anyway we have to go slow only on those roads. So not an issue.
Astro
Astro
 I mean....
Kale
Kale
What do you mean?
Astro
Astro
 I mean... I don't ride bike often.
Kale
Kale
What does that mean. You don't know how to ride a bike?
Astro
Astro
 I know to ride but I haven't done that much.
(Kale gets angry and she feels like the whole day's plan is spoiled)
Astro
Astro
See, you didn't tell me about today's plan. You should have asked me atleast yesterday night. No worries, we can book a cab and can visit places nearby.
(Kale remains silent)
Kale
Kale
In 1 hour, shops will be opened. You can repair your mobile. I will go to my room and take rest.
Astro
Astro
 I am sorry Kale. I don't know about your plans for the day. If so, I would have said you earlier.
Kale
Kale
No more sorry please. You carry with your plans for the day.
(Kale goes back to her room with anger).

The trip begins

(After 30 minutes, Kale knocks Astro's room and tells him to get ready. Astro thought Kale would have arranged for a cab, so that they can visit nearby places. Both of them were waiting at the hotel reception area. One person gives a key to Kale and gets her address proof)
Astro
Astro
Why are you giving your identity card to him?
Kale
Kale
Just shut up and come with me.
(Kale puts the key in the bike and asks Astro to sit back. Astro is shocked)
Astro
Astro
You know how to ride a bike?
Kale
Kale
Yes. One thing you have to keep in mind before we start. "I already ...
Astro
Astro
Stop, stop. "I already have a boyfriend. Apart from friendship nothing should be there between us. Don't imagine anything else during this ride". This is what you are going to say, right?
Kale
Kale
(Laughs) Yes.
Astro
Astro
 I too want to say something. I am "strictly single". So at no point you shouldn't develop any feelings for me.
Kale
Kale
(Laughs heavily). Idiot
(Kale and Astro start their ride. They join with other bikers who travel in the same route)
Astro
Astro
You know the route?
Kale
Kale
Not able to hear you.
Astro
Astro
(Shouts) You know the route?
Kale
Kale
Yes, I am visiting this place daily, so I know the route. Idiot, how come I know. I am also here for the first time.
Astro
Astro
Ok, idiot.
Kale
Kale
What?
Astro
Astro
Nothing. I said to follow the other bikers.
(Astro and Kale are riding for an hour)
Astro
Astro
Kale, it seems like it is going to rain. See, the sky is getting dark.
Kale
Kale
I can't hear you properly. Whatever you tell, please tell loudly.
Astro
Astro
(shouts) Ride fast, so that we can go with other bikers, else we will miss the route. I don't think our e-map will assist us here as the network strength is not great.
Kale
Kale
Yes.
(Kale stops the bike)
Astro
Astro
What happened?
Kale
Kale
My back is paining. I haven't ridden a bike for this many hours continuously.
Astro
Astro
I wish I could help you, but I don't want to risk your life.
(They both taking rest for 5 min)
Astro
Astro
I'll ride the bike now.
Kale
Kale
Are you sure?
Astro
Astro
Yes.
Kale
Kale
Okay. First you ride for some 10-15 meters and come back here, then only I can decide. I don't want to risk my life as you said.
Astro
Astro
(laughs) Ok. Simple task. See, how I am going to ride. How many times I would have played "Moto GP game", this is so simple. Also, in "GTA vice city game", I ride like anything. Then, ...
Kale
Kale
Can you stop your stories and start the engine.
(Astro, turns on the engine, releases the clutch slowly but immediately engine gets turned off)
(Kale laughs on seeing this)
Astro
Astro
Don't laugh. It's been long, that's why. Now you see.
(Again, Astro fails to shift the gear, as the engine gets turned off, when he shifts the gear and releases the clutch.)
Kale
Kale
Come on. You are 26 years and you are not able to release the clutch properly.
Astro
Astro
Age doesn't have anything to do with this.
Kale
Kale
Seems like you are not going to do it. Don't waste time. I will rest for 5 more minutes and we will start.
(Meanwhile, Astro tries for few times and still he is not able to do it)
(Finally after some attempts, he rides for 22 meters without the engine getting turned off. He shifted the gears properly)
Kale
Kale
Seems like someone learned things quickly.
Astro
Astro
oh, come on, I already know how to ride a bike and that's how I got my license. Since I haven't ridden bike much, I had that problem initially.
Kale
Kale
(Laughs and says ok)
(Trip continues as Astro rides the bike and Kale sits behind.)
(They are riding for 2 hours)
Kale
Kale
Astro, I can see a shop there, just stop there. We will take some rest.
Astro
Astro
Yes. I will stop.
(They both halt there.)
Astro
Astro
Hey Kale, just help me here.
Kale
Kale
What?
Astro
Astro
Help me to put the center stand on the bike.
Kale
Kale
(Laughs) You don't have strength for this too.
Astro
Astro
If madam has that much strength you come and do it.
(Kale and Astro together puts stand for the bike)
Astro
Astro
Kale, you want to have some coffee, tea, etc?
Kale
Kale
Is black coffee available?
Astro
Astro
Let me check.
(Astro checking with shopkeeper)
(Astro tries to speak in the local language to ask that, which he is not good at)
Kale
Kale
Hey, your sentence formation is not correct (laughs)
(As Kale knows their local language, she orders coffee)
(They both are having coffee and suddenly it starts to rain).
Astro
Astro
Hold my cup, I will cover the bike
(Astro covers the bike and they both are drinking coffee)
Kale
Kale
Tell me, why you acted like you didn't know to ride the bike.
Astro
Astro
Hey, I didn't say I don't know but it's been very long.
But within 20 minutes, you were able to pick it up and you almost rode for 2 hours.
Astro
Astro
Nothing like that, since the road was empty, I didn't have much issues. Else we would have been in heaven now.
Kale
Kale
(laughs)
Astro
Astro
If I have a notebook and pen, I would have written some short tales. The climate is so awesome to feel and write.
Kale
Kale
What is there that makes you feel that much. I don't feel any such things. I can only see water droplets falling from the sky.
Astro
Astro
Hah. I don't know. Maybe if you notice even the minute things, you too can feel it.
Kale
Kale
If that is the case, can you explain that Mr. Astro.
Astro
Astro
Just look at the sky, you see the dark clouds. See how rain travels from there and it hits the surface. When it hits the land, it just brings out the smell of the sand. See the droplets falling from those leaves in the tree. See the droplets falling from the shelter of this shop and hit the vessel where it is being collected. Listen to that sound. Feel the chill air that kisses your skin. You just said, it's raining but see how many things are happening around us. In such a beautiful climate, we are holding a cup of coffee which is hot. What else do you want nature to give us? Just close your eyes and feel what I said, it will be so nice.
Kale
Kale
You watch movies a lot?
(Astro stares at Kale)
Kale
Kale
Why I asked is, only in movies they glorify things like this.
Astro
Astro
No Kale. It's not glorifying. It's just noticing every small thing happening around us.
Kale
Kale
I see.
(Kale and Astro waiting for almost 20 min for rain to stop.)
Astro
Astro
Hey kale, come let's start. Seems like rain is getting slow.
(After riding for some distance, they notice the road is not good which is because of the rain.)
Kale
Kale
Seems like, we have to walk to cross that place.
Astro
Astro
Yes, if we cross that place on the bike, definitely we will fall down.
Kale
Kale
Yeah. Give me the bag. I will take those and come in the other way.
Astro
Astro
Hello madam, where are you going?
Kale
Kale
What?
Astro
Astro
If you come in that way, who will push the bike with me?
Kale
Kale
Can't you do that alone?
Astro
Astro
Hah. No. Cuff your pant legs and help me to push the bike. Give me those bags, I will place them in handlebar.
(Kale murmurs, scolds and helps Astro in pushing the bike and they crossed that place and continue their ride.)
(Astro and kale continue their ride and they reach a famous lake and it is almost 2 p.m.)

Travel and photoshoots

Kale
Kale
Astro, we will spend some time here and will check for some hotel for lunch. I am already feeling hungry.
Astro
Astro
Okay.
(Kale and Astro sits on a rock near the lake)
Kale
Kale
Hey director. What type of feel this place gives you?
Astro
Astro
Well, I don't know. Some places feed our soul and some places feed our eyes. This feeds my eyes. Kale, adjust your hair, we will take pictures.
(Kale combs her hairs and washes her face)
(Astro starts to capture Kale with the camera)
Astro
Astro
Kale, take two steps back, so that I can cover the sun behind you.
(Astro takes some good pics of Kale)
Astro
Astro
Hey, look here. Pics came really good.
Kale
Kale
 It just shows what is on the other side. Since the person who posed looked good, the picture also came well.
Astro
Astro
Aahan (laughs)
Kale
Kale
It is true idiot. Don't laugh. Now you give a pose, I will capture your pic.
(After sometime, Kale takes few pics of Astro)
Kale
Kale
This is the 20th pic I am going to capture and you are still in the same pose. Change your pose.
Astro
Astro
Come on, I don't know much about posing for a photograph. Maybe if you know some, you can teach me.
(The photoshoot happens for 20 min)
Kale
Kale
Enough, I am tired. let's take some rest. We can leave after 15 min.
Astro
Astro
Why so soon?
Kale
Kale
What else we are going to do here. We came, we had a look, played with water, took pics and now it's time to leave.
Astro
Astro
We still have something left to be done. Tell me why people go for a vacation?
Kale
Kale
To relax their mind, to come out of work pressure or any sort of pressure and to see new places.
Astro
Astro
Why did we plan for this trip?
Kale
Kale
To spend time with our friends, to come out of work tension, to visit new places and to relax.
Astro
Astro
So, tell me. Have we done whatever you said?
Kale
Kale
I think so.
Astro
Astro
No. Just close your eyes and sit for 5 min.
Kale
Kale
Why? What are ....
(Astro interrupts )
Astro
Astro
Main thing is close your mouth first.
Kale
Kale
Idiot.
(Kale sits silent for 5-10 min by closing her eyes)
Astro
Astro
Open your eyes now. Tell me what happened for the last 5 minutes or so?
(Kale remains silent)
Astro
Astro
It's okay, I won't tease. Feel free to tell.
Kale
Kale
There was a deep silence. I was able to feel my breath. Then I heard the sound of the bird. I kind of felt relaxed. When I opened my eyes, it was refreshing.
Astro
Astro
This is what we missed in our workplace and that is why we planned for a vacation. Wherever we go, apart from sight seeing and talking pics, we should just sit for some time, talk with our friends, feel the surroundings....
(Kale interrupts Astro)
Kale
Kale
Sir, please stop the lecture. I understood. You sit and feel here, I will go to that place near the water and I will sit and feel there.
Astro
Astro
(laughs)
Kale
Kale
Astro, you know to dance?
Astro
Astro
I know only the spelling of 'dance'
Kale
Kale
(Laughs)
Astro
Astro
I heard from one of our friends that, you dance well. Why can't you dance?
Kale
Kale
No. No. Not here. In this open place. I can't dance.
Astro
Astro
Shall I prepare a grand stage with thousands of audience?
Kale
Kale
Why not (laughs)
Astro
Astro
I am not interested in risking thousands of life.
Kale
Kale
Idiot
Astro
Astro
Ok, come on dance.
Kale
Kale
I don't want to risk your life by making you watch me dance.
Astro
Astro
Haha. It's okay. You dance.
Kale
Kale
I will dance but not now. Definitely before our trip ends.
Astro
Astro
Okay
Kale
Kale
Let's, leave. I am feeling hungry.
Astro
Astro
Yeah.
Kale
Kale
I will ride the motor bike now.
Astro
Astro
Are you sure?
Kale
Kale
Yes. You were riding for many kilometers, so I will ride for some time.
(Kale and Astro left from the lake and riding in search of hotel for lunch)
Astro
Astro
(talks loudly) Kale, can you stop for a min.
Kale
Kale
Why?
Astro
Astro
Just stop.
(Kale stops the bike)
Kale
Kale
What happened idiot?
Astro
Astro
Your hair is covering my front portion of the helmet because of wind from the opposite direction. Can you put a knot to your hair?
Kale
Kale
Hey, sorry. I forgot.
(Kales removes her helmet, puts a knot to her hair and their ride continues)
(After 37 minutes, they found a hotel and had their lunch and continued the ride)
Kale
Kale
Astro, can you stop. We will take some rest. We are riding for 1.30 hours.
Astro
Astro
Okay Kale. I can see a place which is covered with snow and it seems similar to the one in "Rohtang pass".
Kale
Kale
Yes. Then stop there.
Astro
Astro
Yeah. We will spend some time there.
Kale
Kale
Hmm
(Astro stops the bike there and they started to walk towards the place where it is full of snow and ice)
