For example, he shared how he first came across Vijayan, the subject of the film, when he stopped by the tea shop for some tea. He was caught by Vijayan's comment of hoping to visit Argentina in Hari was moved to see an elderly Indian man, who sells tea for a living, speak of traveling across the world years later back then.
Some might have rolled their eyes, some might have probed further out of curiosity or some might have just ignored such a comment altogether. But Hari responded with a respectful admiration toward Vijayan, and a sincere desire to learn more about this man.
He started visiting the tea shop more regularly, just so he could chat with Vijayan and understand the source of his worldview and philosophy in life.

There are no distant places any longer: Once you have learned to fly your plane, it is far less fatiguing to fly than it is to drive a car. Nobody who has not been up in the sky on a glorious morning can possibly imagine the way a pilot feels in free heaven.
Lovers of air travel find it exhilarating to hang poised between the illusion of immortality and the fact of death. Within all of us is a varying amount of space lint and star dust, the residue from our creation. Most are too busy to notice it, and it is stronger in some than others. It is strongest in those of us who fly and is responsible for an unconscious, subtle desire to slip into some wings and try for the elusive boundaries of our origin.
He who would learn to fly one day must first learn to stand and walk and run and climb and dance; one cannot fly into flying.
