| Set in an old age home (retirement home) in Kashmir, India; 11 weeks is a story about a 60 year old Kashmiri Hindu Fanatic, research scientist, Vir Chopra, who learns the meaning of humanity from a 10 year old Muslim orphan boy, Aslam Jehangir, who visits him for 11 weeks as community service. In 11 weeks, Aslam’s innocence, acts of humanity and care, transforms Vir, who hates Muslims because his family was killed by the Islamic terrorists. The relationship that starts with hatred in the first week slowly moves to a point where by the 11th week, Vir forgets about the religious differences and treats Aslam like his son. Vir’s success as a scientist, in creating a plant, which will benefit humanity, gets its true meaning only after he learns the meaning of humanity from this young boy. |
