How is it with the inhabitants of other planets we come to know from this movie, “Koi..Mil Gaya” . “If unknown of their behavior, we discharge well this commission of nature , then we can flatter ourselves that among our neighbors in the cosmic edifice we may assert no mean rank. Perhaps among them every individual might fully attain vocation in his lifetime. With us it is otherwise; only the species can hope for this”. (Kant’s “Idea of universal
