      Vijay Kumar: And you Mr R K Gupta, you are my illegitimate father! Perhaps my mother has had nothing but insults and pain but from my mother, that Shanti, I return all your wealth to you. Today, you have a lot of wealth and everything but I have never ever seen a poor man like you. Good bye, Mr R K Gupta.

    Dissecting setups with elan!
    Setups are inevitable when heroism is the norm in the age of realities within realities in a way everything qualifies as virtual reality. While tenuous at best as realization essential to get by, the realization when imbibed as trap rather than as enabler can get you through troubles like troubles can't be rationalized with dope, dope, or dope.
