Vinay edges closer to her and kisses her forehead.
So sound is perceived at a speed that even the flapping of a fly's wing is audible. For at that time, time can actually be slowing down.
He plays with her fingers.
VINAY
Do you know what'd happen if two people living together were to share two different concepts of time?
ALIYA
Umm, like a sphere stuck on a plane land, right?
(chuckles)
Struggling to make everyone understand what "up" means.
VINAY
Do you know I read somewhere that the male silk worm can smell a single molecule of pheromone. If I had an olfaction as developed, I wouldn't be able to stand your smell...
ALIYA
You wouldn't be able to stand your own smell with your frequency of showers per month.
VINAY
No but think of it alright. Even subtle differences like, would I think differently if I had smaller nostrils? Or would I have seen the world differently if I was taller or shorter?
ALIYA
Or would the world have been a different place if Gandhi was taller or Hitler was shorter?
VINAY
You know they have actually found a way to prove that reality exists when nobody is looking.
ALIYA
Well I think it exists and I am never looking.
VINAY
Bull shit! You're always looking.

The pointer settles on a man's face - he is leaning out of an auto-rickshaw.
aliya (O.S.)
Is this the coughing man?
VINAY (O.S.)
Mm hmm.
The pointer hovers over a panel in the software, searching for the right option.

She paints a semi - transparent layer of red over a part of the picture's left side, so that all she covers is a part of the cobbled street.
VINAY (O.S.)
Are you going to do anything about it?
aliya (O.S.)
Yeah.
She cycles through the menu bar.

VINAY (O.S.)
What are you doing?
She adjusts the brightness through a slider.
CoMPUTER FEEDBACK
Negative eight.
Vinay (O.S.)
Hmm... that looks nice.
Vinay and Aliya are revealed with their backs to the camera at a partially left profile.
Aliya is fair and medium built with wavy shoulder length hair. Vinay is darker, sports an unkempt stubble and has an unruly head of hair that is slightly shorter than his girlfriend's.
They sit at a large table upon which a printer, a set of speakers and assorted stationery are visible.
He has his arm casually draped over her shoulder. She lightly clasps his hand in response.
aliya
But which one do you like better ? This one or...
ComPUTER FEEDBACK
Edit... Undo.
AlIYA
...this one?
VINAY
Show me again.
ComPUTER FEEDBACK
Edit... Redo.
ViNAY
Hmm... that looks better.
Do you want the background so dark?
aliya
Yeah.
Aliya processes a print of the photograph through an etching machine.
She traces the texture and lines of the resulting etch with her finger - it's friction producing a crisp sand-papered sound.
