Old man (Karanjot): What is the matter?

Young man: I am fed up of living on this spaceship….it’s like a cage…we cannot go outside…I
want to breathe fresh air...

Old man: Yes you are absolutely right, we are like prisoners and we are prisoned over here. This
all because of our stupidity.

Young man: Why were we so stupid that we didn’t even care –we destroyed our own home…
now…look where we are…

Old man: Yes, Yes…you are right…we were stupid…living in a dream…ignoring all the signs of
disasters…

I remember…how beautiful the Earth was…

Mother (Udita): The air is so fresh here…it’s great to outside the city…

Father (Nidaan): Yes, I can actually hear the chirping of birds…

Son (Srijan): It feels so good to take a swim in the river…the water is so cool.

Daughter (Ria) : Ma do you know…scientists have found a new species of an owl…

Son: Ma…look at me…I am flying in the air…as fast as the birds…ha…ha
