He, therefore, spends his time in inventing a computer that will perform all those tasks, leaving the humans to carry on working without having to indulge in sex and giving birth to babies.

Due to his refusal, his mother suffers a heart-attack and is bed-ridden. Ashamed at hurting his mother, Manas repents by marrying Vidya.
