Bachpan ki woh amiri..

na jane kaha kho gayi,

warna kabhi baarish ke pani mein..

hamare bhi jahaaz chala karte the.

The first setting is of a room with a desk and two hands (only hands no body)of an adult counting money, and writing something on paper, calculation go wrong, scribbles it out, crumbles the paper throws it on the floor, a small kid crawls in the room, picks the paper up tries to straighten it out and tears it into pieces to make fake currency out of it and imitates his father, counts the money and blows the money in the air out of boredom. Father again throws a piece  of paper as the calculations go wrong, now it's starts raining outside, as the kid hears raindrops falling on the window pain he grabs the fallen piece of paper and in a rush tries to make a boat out of it, run out through the door jumps in few puddles and sails off  his tiny paper boat in the small stream of water gushing through the street. Now the screen goes bright and this tiny little kid is transforming into an adult as he is transforming his body starts to lose its visibility and its only his hands that are visible now.

It's the same setup again of a desk, two hands trying to get calculations straight, its raining cats and dogs outside(audio) and he happens to crumble the paper and throw it on the floor. This time no one enters the room, the room is empty. Silence takes over for a second. The paper is still, on the floor. Voice over of the poem begins and fades into the darkness with a sound of a raindrop falling for the last time before it goes mute.

Treatment

It’s raining cats and dogs outside, the rain water is trickling down the glass, there are two pairs of hands(father’s hands) working on some calculations, very anxiously trying to get things right, constantly scribbling and fiddling with his pen. His five year old son is sitting on the floor very peacefully playing with a ball.

The calculations go wrong, furiously slams his left fist and scribbles what he had previously written. Just then the kid all startled looks up to know what just happened. Father starts to crumple the paper and throws it on the floor. The kid goes and picks it up, tries to straighten it and makes a crown out of it. He is full of joy and is happy being the king.

Just then there is another loud slam, “thud!”, before the kid turns completely behind, a paper ball bounces and lands near his feet. He picks it up and then suddenly realises the sound of the rain has started to dim, he turns his head in the direction of the window and turns around to sit. Now he has a smile on his face as an idea has struck his mind. He starts to straighten the paper out and makes a paper boat out of it. The minute he is done, he gets up and run(storms) out of the room and reaches his house gate.

Splashing water in the puddles, he reaches a drain outlet pipe from which water is gushing out, he lets his paper boat into the stream and stands there still, watching it go further. 

The screen gradually turns bright (white) and the small hands transform into that of an adult’s and the body except for the hands start to fade, while losing its visibility. The kid has now grown up.

Ten years later it yeh same room, it’s raining heavily outside and the grown up boy with partially faded(invisible) body is sitting on the desk. There is thunder rumbling outside while he is busy getting some calculations right. He is constantly fiddling with his pen and suddenly he slams his fist on the table,”thud”. He crumpled the paper and throws it on the floor. Now there is a sudden silence in the room, he stops while picking up his pen and looks down on the floor, at the crumpled paper ball. The silence is broken by a poem that plays in his mind, 

“Bachpan ki woh amiri,

Na jane kaha Kho gayi, 

Warna kabhi baarish ke paani me,

Humare bhi jahaaz chala karte the”

Continued with the sound of heavy rain, gradually fading with the dark(fade into black) screen.
