Nitigya Character Sketch cargo

Character Sketch Nitigya Sahastrabuddhe:

If you are ever stuck in the morning traffic of a busy city street, in one of the bikes you will see a man, now on the other side of 40, with his helmet on, a black office bag and with a lunch box tied to his scooter, heading to his work. He has been doing it since before he got married and now his kids are preparing for GRE.

Though his struggle and stability is launchpad for his kids and his colleagues, he particularly doesn't aspire for anything as such. The society, however, needs these people – these pillar of strengths – though these pillars themselves might feel that they are stuck at the job but they have been feeling that for so long that they have now have even forgotten to feel that. It's too late to even restart a hobby. And they are too good to ever protest.

Nitigya is one such person. Every morning he comes to his desk, sees the list of Cargo arriving in Pushpak 634 A – one of the 1000s of spaceships and he makes sure they arrive and are successfully transitioned to the next level in the spaceship. He is not a star but his work and precision and dedication is immaculate.

Maybe his kids don't know what a hero their dad is but that's because Nitigya himself doesn't know it either. His wife complains about not having time or not going out for a vacation, and almost gives up on him and being a college teacher herself, goes for camps with college kids and he doesn't seem to mind that nor she doesn't seem to mind it anymore.

Nitigya is one of these uncelebrated heroes, a round peg in a round hole and people too humble to realize their own worth and we can only love them unconditionally because their simplicity is what we all aspire for but fail to notice.

In the film, though Prahastha and Yuvishka are in a spaceship, along with a Nitigya (in the monitor), they feel like a family living together and managing these complicated machinery.
