Abida, Alyka, Fatima and Lakshya leave for their homes after relaxing at the Castro Cafe after
classes. Abida swerves towards the M.F. Hussain Art Gallery, as a notepad hung on its door
has caught her attention, and others follow suit. Over the head of the notepad is painted,What
are your biggest regrets in life? On some pages people have written their regrets while others
are torn off. They too share their regrets, and tear off the pages.

Fatima writes,Surrendering to the fear of being on stage. Lakshya writes,Giving up on myself.
They leave.
