Rajiv is leaving after 20 years in Islamabad and runs across his old friend Gurmeet who still works as a border guard.

Gurmeet: Ten years?

Rajiv: No, more. Sixteen, seventeen, I would think. 1990.

Gurmeet: Do you ever see Manendra?

Rajiv: No, I’ve been remiss. He went away and I lost his number and didn’t chase him up.

Gurmeet: And how about Vijay?

Gurmeet: Oh he comes through here time to time. But you’d never guess it was him.
