Prof. Chandrasekhar is a renowned economist of the Chicago School. He has missed the Nobel Prize again and is forced to look at his family, his three children in particular. He attends a meditation session with his youngest daughter. He realizes that he had concentrated only on his work so far and neglected his family.
