It's been a long while since Mr Joshi has met his brother, Jitesh. The passage of time has not resolved the conflict amongst them.

Meanwhile, Mr Joshi reads the next letter. The story is of Siddharth and Varun, two aspiring young cricketers aiming to make a mark in the Indian Cricket Team and how the sacrifice of one for another, changes their cricketing careers for the better.
The letter brings back old memories and Mr Joshi leaves to meet Jitesh.
