00:00You buy tickets for a bad movie and the movie is 2 hours and 45 minutes.

00:04It takes you one and a half hours to realize it's a bad movie.

00:08There is no hope that some surprise will spring after the recess.

00:12No, nothing. It's a bad movie.

00:14What to do?

00:15Say that I have invested rupees 500 and one and a half hours and the cab amount and the popcorn amount.

00:22I've invested so much so I'll sit through the trauma of another one and a half hours.

00:29A lot of people say that irrespective of the cost you have already incurred, take it as sunk cost.

00:36It's gone.

00:36It cannot be recouped but I will not invest into it any further.

00:41What is right must be done.

00:42What is not right must not be done.

00:44It's as simple as that.
