Transcript

00:00There is this fellow teacher, a guide, something, who gets stranded on an island with a few of his disciples.

00:08Initially, he forbids them from eating anything and himself, he eats.

00:13And then they do discover some way to escape.

00:17But it turns out that the escape will take a few more days or a few more weeks.

00:23Their resources won't last that long.

00:25He tells them, you kill me and eat me.

00:27Where it appeared that the teacher is actually being cruel.

00:30And then one day he says, fine, now you have learnt to survive on nothing.

00:34Now you can eat me.

00:35Who will call this entire interaction as one of love?

00:39For us, love is roses and candies and choco boxes.

00:45The real thing is about being of use.

00:48I must be of use in my death.

00:50And if I can be of use to you only by dying, I will die.
