MOM, I WAS STUDYING IN CELINA'S ROOM LATE LAST NIGHT AND CRASHED HERE.
So you surfed YouTube?
Googled around a bit too.
Used your VPN to watch porn.
Still didn't get it? Don't worry.
Sex.
I love sex!
There's nothing better than sex.
Touching, feeling, kissing…
A touch, a sway, bodies at play…
The man to woman,
some pressing, some undressing.
Just remember to keep it all chill.
Heart nil.
Sex is all about two bodies being in sync.
And when they're in sync…
Uff!
…they sing.
But every body has its own rhythm.
There's a lot of giving
and a lot of getting.
Five-star rating, please, madam.
But the ratio of giving and getting is different for everyone.
You draw your own boundaries.
Listen, we should plan that seaside holiday right now.
We haven't done that.
Sure.
I'd sent some flight options to you also.
Seen them?
There are only two months left for the pitch,
and this is where we are at?
Kailash!
Ma'am, one system is not able to handle multiple hyperreal worlds.
But with your coding expertise--
If I end up doing your work, Mr. Chandran, then why are you here?
Are you mad?
I need only one thing from you all.
Your A game.
A game? I was born with it.
That means no distractions caused by words starting with "L" and "S."
- "Life" and "sleep"? - Shh!
Important text?
No. Sorry, ma'am.
Are you a real LOL fan, or you fake it?
Oh, hello!
I put the "legend" in League of Legends.
You know what they say, "A dog that barks seldom bites."
Really?
So tell me when you want to play. It's on!
What's your username?
Dimple no damsel.
Don't judge. I was 15 years old. And what's yours?
Revenge of the Rith.
Hmm. Wow! So much cooler.
Ahuja!
Can you show some respect for your teacher?
And by the way, it's Dean now.
And come on, we have an ethics class going on.
Uh, with all due respect, Dean sir,
an ethics class can't be taken seriously, please.
Why not?
Sir, ethics in AI tries to regulate imagination.
And there are so many cool things happening at NNIT,
and we're stuck in first gear.
Good point.
Let's challenge NNIT.
And anyway, riling up Nahata has always been my favorite pastime.
Next week, let me propose a debate.
You argue in top gear, okay? Two participants are here already!
No, sir, sir, sir. Next month, I'm going to get a bad cough.
It's a debate, Ahuja.
You can give them a cough fight.
Yuck!
What?
Sir, that was quite a Dad joke.
He's old enough to be a dad after all.
- What did you say? - Sorry, sorry.
- Bye, ma'am. - Bye-bye. See you!
Oh, Puchki? What happened?
Bye, Zeenat ma'am.
- Bye ma'am. - "Bye?"
- Bye, ma'am. - Bye.
All okay?
We are moving to Alwar.
Papa, Mummy, everyone. Will you come with us?
I'm gonna miss you very, very, very much, Puchki.
Listen, Nandini's being a little difficult.
You know, something's going on, but I can escape for two, three days.
I've shortlisted three resorts. 180 Degree Ocean--
Anmol, I'm so sorry. I forgot to tell you. This weekend, I won't be able to make it.
What? Why?
Something's happened in college. I need to be there.
Minor issue or major issue?
There's a professor.
Socio department's rock star, Titu Goswami.
He's been harassing a female student for the past three months.
And our shameless admin,
all they've done is given him four weeks' leave.
That, too, paid. Can you imagine?
So we're protesting to have him removed permanently from here.
- And I need to be there. So-- - Pooh, let's go.
- Everyone's waiting for you. - Uh…
I have to run. Sorry.
I'll call you back later. Love you!
L-- love you.
- "Love you?" - Shut up, Maddy!
Hey!
What's wrong?
Everything okay?
Yeah.
But… I would have liked it if… you'd been here.
Show.
Show!
Insecurity, confusion, miscommunication…
All these are doled out for free in relationships.
Which is why my scene is sorted, bro.
Relationship without any of the relation-shit!
Listen, I'm your BEX ever, no?
BEX? What's that?
Best Sex Ever. Hmm?
- Maybe the BEX is yet to come. - Mm-hmm?
- Daksh, my sweet baccha! - Uh!
- Celina, one last-- - Are you mad? Neck check. Neck check.
- It's fine. - Check mine also.
Yeah, it's nice. Come.
- Listen. - Hmm?
Don't get too attached or anything to me, okay?
Let's just keep it cazh.
The only attachments found in my life are in my emails. So relax.
"Let's just keep it cazh."
Celina…
Will you meet my mom and dad in a few days?
The fuck, dude! Please explain your definition of "cazh"?
It's for lunch!
Both the oldies will bore me to death.
Just come for moral support. You know I have issues!
- Don't we all? Okay fine, I'll come. - Okay, cool. Thank you!
Just two, three smacks it needs.
Thank you.
The bangs are banging by the way.
Thank you.
Oh! Thank you.
It's… it's really good to have you around, Dimple.
Thank you.
See you around.
Dimple?
We are going to see each other around a lot.
So it would be good if we could figure what our relationship status is?
Will it be this awkward "hi, bye" type status?
We can send each other memes?
Or we can bitch about Nandini Nahata!
Or I can help you with some subjects also.
Actually, there is one subject that you can help me with.
- See, I have three versions. - Hmm.
Rated "R," rated "X" or just outright dirty.
Can you just keep it down? Why do you have to announce--
But why?
We are… we… we…
- No! It's cool. - It's cool.
Our encounters are always awkward anyway.
In this area, I've got all the bases covered.
So what seems to be the problem?
Maybe, I'm not, like…
like sexy.
Probably why his…
No, no! No!
On the outside, you may appear… Right?
But on the inside, you're… Right?
So how are you going to look at him?
We have a lot of work to do.

Hey, shut up!
You know what you need?
You need to restrain him.

The thing about sex is
that the bodies get in sync when the minds are in sync.
I mean, isn't self-doubt a big enough problem already
without parents interfering and making it worse?
Just a matter of one lunch, bro. This too shall pass.
Fuck self-doubt.
Dad, I was thinking, uh,
once Betterverse gets launched,
then we should definitely buy property there.
You and your tech fantasies!
I have already invested a lot of money.
So, what have you been up to, Celina?
Well, aunty, nothing much. I'm just doing the marketing for Betterverse.
Basically, I'm a glorified slave.
- It's okay. I'm managing. - Really?
She's being so modest, Mom.
Guys, she had developed an app, "Proud and About."
And with its revenue, she has funded her own education.
Why don't you let your influence rub off on him also now, no?
- Hmm, yeah. Do that. - Hmm?
Uncle, he really doesn't need any influencing.
He's really good at what he does.
I still feel he should've done medicine.
But you have come this far. Then you must become the next Elon Musk.
- Am I missing the performance review? - Oh, Anmol!
So good to see you.
- Hey, smokin'! - Hello!
Steak? Medium rare?
- You know it. - Yeah.
Sorry, it got a little late.
I was handling some important Betterverse stuff.
Oh! Krish, shouldn't you have been there?
- I don't-- - How could he have been there?
These are high-level decisions, no?
Krish is still an assistant.
Assistant?
Well actually, you know, aunty, bosses are easy to find.
They're a dime a dozen.
But to find a very good assistant is very difficult.
And Krish is one of our finest.
He's rare, like steak.
I never scored less than 97% in academics.
I'm a two-time state-level tennis champion and an all-India Mathlete winner.
But for my dad, I'm still a fucking loser.
What's the point of waiting
or hoping that things will change?
It's all a bloody waste of time.
What's on your mind?
- Hmm? - What's on your mind?
Nothing.
Hey! Quickie?
This is your sulky face, not quickie face.
This turned off vibe doesn't suit you, man.

Wow! I was wrong.
There is something that's even better than sex.
Bro, I don't think my heart's nil anymore in this chill situation.
But maybe the boundaries are so blurred by now
that there's no point in drawing them.
The situation's become tricky, boss. Fuck!
Where's Anmol? I've been texting him.
- He and Sai aren't coming. - Why?
Actually, both of them are very stressed about the haptic suit.
- Hey-- - Weren't we coming to the debate together?
I waited for half an hour.
I… Hey… hey, listen.
I sent you a text. One second. Look.
Listen, I'm so sorry, but I did type this thing to you.
Forgot to send it.
'Cause Nandini ma'am called. I'm really sorry.
I've finished all her work, and now I'm all yours.
- I'm sorry-- - Rishi?
God, please tell me there's another Rishi this time. Please.
Rishi! I need you here.
Yes ma'am, one sec.
I'm so sorry. Sorry.
Ladies and gentlemen,
welcome to this NNIT versus LLIT debate,
a platform for the discussion of new ideas via civilized arguments…
These two have brought personal problems into a professional setup.
And here we two are doing all the work.
You're right. Personal and professional are best kept separate.
Yeah.
Huh?
And our first topic is,
"Should AI-generated art be allowed to compete with human art?"
Krish Katyal, for.
- Anuradha Ray, against. - Come on.
What was the secret behind Mona Lisa's mysterious smile?
Or the depths of Van Gogh's angst in the swirling blues of Starry Night?
All art comes from deep human emotions,
uh, intentionality,
and the ability to convey personal experiences, and cultural contexts.
I believe that this debate can only be valid the day that AI can truly feel.
This fellow's really feeling it.
Thanks for the support, Aalif. Uh, so where was I?
Time!
Nowhere!
So, since my worthy…
opponent didn't really say much,
let me start by saying that feelings
are overrated.
Hmm. Hello, Romeo.
Are you in love?
Not with this.
No.
Oh yes, oh yes.
Your face has given you away.
If you want, I can share a foolproof plan to win her over.
Relax.
I'll help you!
I'll help you.
Your bro is an expert.
Hmm? Hmm!
Krish.
Aalif Ansari.
Aloo.
Aloo!
- Potato! - Okay.
"Is facial recognition technology an invasion of privacy?"
Celina Matthews, for. Rith Joshi, against.
This topic was perhaps debatable in the 2000s.
There is no privacy in today's world anyway.
So one can argue that
you can't invade something that does not exist in the first place.
Yeah.
Unlike my worthy opponent here,
I don't have such a cynical attitude.
- I cherish my privacy. - Excuse me--
And I don't want every Tom, Dick, Harish, and Yogesh to, let's say,
open my phone by just pointing it at my face.
Uh, Celina, please wait for your turn.
Facial recognition technologies are put to use
while solving the most serious crimes.
And if my worthy opponent is worried about
Harish and Yogesh trying to open your phone,
my suggestion for that--
Your suggestion can go fly a kite.
I'm not worried about Harish and Yogesh.
I'm worried about people like you going where you don't belong.
Who are Harish and Yogesh?
And Celina, please wait for your turn.
Wait! I'm sorry, what do you mean?
You know, I've noticed you creeping about campus.
And a little birdie told me
that you've been seen sneaking around the men's washroom.
Who is it that you've been meeting on the sly?
I mean, what's going on?
How dare you!
See?
No one likes an invasion of their privacy!
This is absolutely unparliamentary!
Celina, you've turned it into a fish market.
"Fuck self-doubt!" Easier said than done.
But if somebody notices these insecurities,
then all you wanna do is run away and hide.
The next topic is,
"Should there be regulation and censorship in virtual universes?"
Rishi Singh Shekhawat, for.
Phila Khonglah, against.
Hey! What's up, bro?
Are you Ms. Khonglah?
Are you taking orders from a toy?
Ahuja versus Shekhawat.
Who would've thought?
This'll be interesting.
The biggest responsibility of any virtual universe
is the safety of its users.
If you see schools, colleges, offices, parks, malls,
all these physical places are secured as a norm.
Why not virtual versions of these?
I think rules, regulations, guidelines, it's important to enforce them
so that you can create a safe space, a secure space for its users,
who won't fear any harm or abuse.
I'd like to thank my very worthy opponent
for actually proving my point by using the term "enforce."
He probably doesn't believe in freedom of speech.
Because that's the problem.
Monopolistic creators will always attack that first.
So then, who watches the watchmen?
May I?
That's a good line.
But it's not relevant here.
Without rules and regulations,
there's actually a huge risk of hate speech, harassment,
or even criminal activities for that matter.
You have no idea what people can do if they're just left unsupervised.
I think he wants me to win this debate,
because he has yet again proved my point.
This world has so much censorship, so many rules and regulations.
Have they stopped harassment and hate speech?
Also, if people are left unsupervised,
you might not have any idea of the wonders they'll achieve.
Unfortunately, sir here is hell-bent on turning Betterverse into North Korea.
Rebuttal?
It's easy to pinpoint the problems.
But does she have any solutions?
I thought you would never ask.
Stop focusing on regulation.
Instead, focus on user empowerment and community-driven moderation.
- That will give users agency and overall-- - Ms. Ahuja, I'm sorry. Your time is up.
Sir, may I please just finish this?
I'm afraid that'll be against the rules.
See, ma'am?
This is the problem with rules. They just try to silence you.
Whoo!
That was fun!
Welcome back, Ahuja.
I'll see you.
Hello, madam.
Why's your behavior reminding me of that student
who hasn't submitted their assignment? Hmm?
Call, text,
memes, all ignored.
I didn't mean to ghost you or anything, but, um,
I just needed some time to think about things.
Hmm.
Are you breaking up with me?
Will you hear me out first, please?
Then you can speak.
Okay.
I've been thinking for the last few days that
I'm not…
I'm not sure how you'll react to this. If…
if you'd still like to be with me after hearing this.
I want to adopt.
Like what, a pet?
I love dogs.
No, Siddharth.
Like a baby.
"All chill, heart nil." That's easy to say.
In practice, it's fucking hard.
Hey, winner! Hi!
Are you allowed to be here? Or will your Nandini ma'am call you again?
Well, if she calls me, I'll tell her that I'm with my winner,
taking a few tips to win.
But you know, I definitely think that
I deserve a little bit of the credit for your win.
It was an expertly calculated move, ma'am.
I ignited a small spark, and look at you, you were on fire!
- You were amazing. - Thank you.
Why don't you take this too?
"This too" meaning?
What else have I taken?
Ah, your heart.
What is it? Why aren't my jokes landing?
Is there something wrong?
Tell me na, shonu.
Okay, okay, sorry.
Genuinely, please tell me.
Or I'll be awake the whole night, worrying over imaginary issues.
What's the point of that?
Tell me, is there something bothering you?
Yeah, you are!
Okay…
Rishi, you've become the teacher's pet, ya.
You're acing all the subjects.
You're working on so many new tech innovations,
making an entire virtual world, and what am I doing?
I'm just here complaining like a loser to you.
Dimple,
how are you the loser when you're the one holding the winner's trophy?
You've just come here.
You and I both know
that soon you will be the star student of this campus.
Everyone will be a fan.
I've been living this life for three years--
But the fact really is that you've been living my life.
I was this person, Rishi. This was my dream.
Guess what?
Sooner or later, the heart takes over the chill.
And from there what starts is
the real buzzkill.
Dimple, you are still this person.
You know it was never my dream to come here and do all of this.
You pushed me to do it.
You sent my work to Nandini ma'am without my knowledge.
And I'm very grateful to you because you're right. I am good at this.
I know, and I'm very proud of you, Rishi.
Dimple, I am so sorry that you weren't selected in NNIT.
Really, I am.
But why does it feel like you want me to be guilty of my achievements?
I worked hard for three years, day and night,
and after that, I got these opportunities.
You'll also get them, right? When you put your mind to it.
- Then what's the problem? - I know, I know. I'm so sorry.
So stupid. Forget it.
Come on, Dimple.
It's fine, Rishi. Let it go.
I don't know how to let go.
It's a good line. It's not relevant here.
Why not?
You don't have any time for me.
I really miss the old Rishi.
Seriously. He was there for me every step of the way.
I'm still here for you, Dimple.
So much has changed over the last three years.
But this is still the same, right?
I mean, you're still you. I'm still me. We're still us.
And I love you, Dimple.
We were apart for three years,
but I didn't miss you as much as I miss you right now, Rishi.
So you're saying we were happier in the virtual world?
I don't know. Maybe this was just a mistake.
I shouldn't have come here.
