Each person has many personalities. It is up to him or her to make one of it as his own. Alter ego is the split personality syndrome, in which most of the time the person is aware of how he is behaving. But sometimes he is confused about his original personality. In extreme cases, the person does not even know he has changed.


Vikram was a very bright day scholar at a research institute. He had two personalities. He would be very shy and punctual and at times a very flamboyant and aggressive guy. Due to his very tough studies and research, he was not able to overcome the personalities. On that particular day, he would end up becoming one of them. 


His mentor professor Venkatkutti knew about his weakness. Vekatakutti knew, if Vikram watches a movie, then an entire week he will be in that mood and character. So, Venkatakutti always brought him tickets to the movies and documentaries like "Paramanu the nuclear test", "The man who knew infinity Ramanujan" etc. 


After watching these movies Vikram would be very disciplined. Even though you scold him, he would be in the research world. He would want to do something for the country in the field of research. Only research completion would be paramount in his mind.


Years passed this method continued and dual executed some best projects. 

One day Venkatakutti was at the theater, for watching some movie. 

He saw a poster of the movie "Indian Mars mission". He thought its the best movie to give for Vikram. Meanwhile, his son asked him to get another movie ticket for "Uri, The surgical strike". Venkatakutti took both the tickets and went home.


The next day morning he asked his son to take his ticket from his wallet and he went to the lab. 

He gave Vikram another ticket and said "We will work the entire night, its important project. You finish your movie and come back. Before going give the details of all the research I asked you to do."


"Okay sir", Vikaram submitted his report and went to watch the movie. Venkatakutti went on to read the report. There was a minor mistake in that report. Venkatakutti was furious, he did not like any mistakes.


When Vikram came back, Venkatakutti asked how was the movie. "Very patriotic right, after they executed the mission." Venkatakutti quoted. He had seen the trailer of Mars mission.


"Yes sir", Vikram replied.

Venkatakutti suddenly remembers the mistake in the report. He started scolding Vikram, "How can you make such a silly mistake?".


The very next moment Venkatakutti was on the floor, he was punched hard by Vikram. Vekatakutti was surprised by Vikrams reaction. Before he could think, he got a call from his son.

Son said, "Dad, by mistake I took Mars mission movie from your wallet "

Venkatakutti was scared and looked at Vikram and asked, "Which movie you watched?"

"Uri, the Surgical strike, sir", Vikram replied calmly.
