One day, Prabha is inexplicably transported to a different world, where he encounters a young boy who requests a ride to Madras University.

To Prabha's astonishment, the young boy is revealed to be a younger version of India's former president and renowned scientist, A. P. J. Abdul Kalam, who has time traveled from 1948 to 2023.

The young Kalam recounts that he received a letter from Dean Mr. Arivazhagan, prompting his father to board him on a bus.
