However, after many failed attempts, his seniors are losing faith in him. They tell Atya that he only has one month left to come up with some substantial results or else his project will be scrapped. Meanwhile, Atya’s girlfriend Diva tells him that his her, who lives in an Indian village called Paglapur, is extremely unwell. The protagonist rushes back to his native, where he meets a whole bunch of unusual characters. Atya meets a man who thinks that he is a lamp post. Another villager only speaks in gibberish. The entire village is completely cut off from the world, and everyone who lives there believes that the World War II is still going on. Soon it becomes clear to Atya that his her is not really ill, and so he becomes angry and decides to return to America. However, Atya then learns that the government completely ignores the village of Paglapur because it is absent from the demarcated of India. He feels sorry for the inhabitants, and thinks of coming up with a solution for this unique problem.
