29/Apr/2007. There are two people in a mall in Russia - a guy and a girl. The guy feels a sharp sting in his back - he looks and finds a dart stuck in his back. He realizes he is in trouble. Suddenly, there is a volley of darts flying towards him, all propelled by Russian soldiers in uniform. But the couple escapes by getting into a narrow corridor of the mall. They now know that they are being chased, but also know that they are safe for the time being. They get into a corner shop of the mall. The girl leaves to use the rest-room in the shop, while the guy moves around the rather smallish shop with the owner of the shop looking on. The shop has two exit gates. Before the girl can come back, someone closes one of the exit door and the guy knows that he is in trouble. He grabs the girl and they start to run, avoiding the second exit which they know will be closed soon. They are many other people in the mall, and the couple knows that all of these people will die. Their only aim is to get out of the mall before all openings are sealed by the soldiers. I catch up with them in their run. We three run really hard, performing amazing stunts by climbing on rooftops, jumping large gaps and making impossible moves with ease. After a long run, we finally have to jump from the roof and into a shallow swimming pool. I jump in and almost touch the bottom of the pool. Once out of the pool, we see an exit gate and step out of this gate. Just then, a guard emerges from a nearby subway and closes the final exit gate. We are ecstatic that we made it, but cannot digest the fact that once all gates are sealed, all people inside will die. I continue to walk alone on the streets of Russia. There, an aunt from Doongarpur (mostly) meets me and asks me to fill her visa form for U.K. I start to fill up the form, but the first field of the form asks for a Wipro Employee Code, which she obviously does not have.
... and then it was day break
