Video summary
Akash and Arjun are two very different brothers: one enjoys doing homework and the other likes playing the electric guitar.
The older, guitar-loving brother gets rushed to hospital, very ill.
In the meantime, the younger brother enters an essay competition, the first prize for which is a trip to Rome - a city he has always wanted to see.
The family visit Arjun in hospital, but he is sullen and rude and throws Akash's essay under the bed.
The two wonder how they can be brothers when they are so different, but over time they become close and when Akash wins the competition, Arjun sells his guitar so his sibling can go.
