Hello guys...

i know my MYSTERY is going on but one thought came in my mind which is mostly related to a movie when i was watching it yesterday...so thought to pen it down...

Don't worry sirf prologue same hai baaki sab diff hai bosss

do tell me should i continue or not...

Raman is staring into the blank. A lawyer
is standing behind Raman, speaking vehemently.
Some other men in suits are seen, contributing to the tense
conversation. Lots of people talking together. Raman is sitting at the head of
the table. There is a middle aged woman sitting across the table to him.
Raghav, Raman'scolleague, touches his
shoulder. Raman looks at Raghav. Raghav looks cross. Sound fades in -
loud,incomprehensible din. Chief in that is the woman's lawyer reading out
certain demands from the company.

Lawyer 1
(continuing) ...on the other hand you should be happy that my client is not
insisting ongoing to court. Although court jaane mein inka fayda hai. Chaar
hearings mein baat saaf ho jayegi ki yekya deserve karti hain aur inko is
company se kya milna chahiye.

The noise
attacks the senses. Raman sits amidst the madness for a while, then slowly gets
up.

RaghavI don't think we should jump to conclusions.Lawyer 2Yahan milne ka matlab yehi
hai ki hum Mrs Khanna ki demands ko consider kar rahe

hain.

Lawyer
1Humne aapko consider karne ko
nahin kaha hai. Aapki authourity nahin hai consider

karne ki.

RaghavExcuse me... hum jhagda karne ke liye nahin
mil rahe hain...LawyerLet me tell you that there can be no
compromise on the list of demands made by Mrs Khanna.

Raman stands facing the mirror in
the wash room. He is looking down. After a moment, he looks

up towards his eyes. He lacks the
courage to look at himself. He looks down.

He comes out of the washroom,
looks at the conference hall. Raghav is standing at the door of theconference
hall, waiting for him. He indicates to him to hurry back, the others are
waiting. Raghav goesinside. Raman looks at the conference hall. Through the
glass, he sees Raghav telling the others thatRaman
is coming back now. Raman can see that the situation is waiting to explode on
him. He stands therefor a moment. Then instead of going towards the conference
hall, Raman turns right into the staircase.

Raman walks
into the foyer. The staff and visitors jerk into attention. Some salute, some
wish,somebody runs
towards the porch.

Raman's
black BMW drives into the porch.Someone
opens the car door for Raman. Raman walks down the steps, does not go to the
open

door. He
walks around and takes the key from the driver and sits in the car.

The car drives into a
club house and parks. Raman gets off.

Many men
and women - all decked up in fineries - notice Raman as he walks in. There is areaction of surprise. Raman comes to the lawn and looks
straight. A wedding reception platform, bride andgroom and guests and
photographers. The bride sees him. He is walking towards her. She gets tense.
Hegets into the line of people waiting to meet the couple.Raman gets up on the
platform, walks towards the girl, stands in front of her. She looks at
thegroom. The groom extends his hand to Raman. They shake hands.

The photographers ask them to
pose. Raman poses. Snap, snap, snap.He looks at the bride one more time, then
turns and walks away.

He walks through the corridor, walks into the parking lot and comes to his car.
He unlocks the car, opens the door. He stands in that position, looking at the
keys. Music of receding begins. Raman places
the key on top of the car.

His
mind is a blank, his senses diffused.He walks out.

Outside the club, Raman walks the
lane - as though some force is taking him away. He opens his coat buttons and
removes the tie.

Return
office traffic has begun. He puts his tie on the pavement, crosses the street.

Raman walks
across a market place.He walks on another street. He
removes his coat, places it on a railing. A beggar is looking at

him. He removes his gold
cuff-links. Cuff-links fall on the pavement.

He walks across a bus-stop,
pulling his sleeves. A bus stops. People file in from around him. He

turns and looks at the bus.

He is sitting in the bus. His
co-passengers keep changing.

Evening. The bus comes to a final halt outside VT station. Everyone gets off. Raman
gets out. VT railway station. Raman walks
in.

He walks through the crowd in the foyer.

He is walking on a platform. Train whistle
blows, flurry at the platform. Raman stops. He looks atthe train. The
train begins to move. Raman looks at the door coming towards him. It is
inviting him. He moves up and climbs into
the door. The train takes him away.

The train is
leaving

The
platform, seen from the train through a door, is moving faster and faster.
There are two menstanding at the door. One of them - a young man, is hanging
out and bringing in pieces of luggage fromsomeone still on the platform.
Evidently, a girl is trying to catch the speeding train. There is a
coolieinvolved, but we can only hear them at this time.

Ishita . Pakdaate jao, pakdaate jao... Bhaisaab ke haat
mein do.

One
suitcase is already in. It is put on the side by someone. The young man gets
off the train andtakes another suitcase from the coolie and loads it.

Young Man (to Man 1):Main
neeche se pass kar raha hoon.

Coolie (to Ishita)Tum chahadh jaayo pehle...

Ishita .Arey
tum meri tension mat lo, samaan andar karo jaldi... Ye lo...

The
suitcase is in. Man 1 passes it to the next man who passes it to the next. A
bag comes innow. Then a plastic shopping bag
comes in, stuffed with loose items. Then another plastic bag. Then anearthen pot with a flower plant. There are a few
others who have collected in the door area in the secondclass sleeper to see the drama.

Meanwhile -

Coolie :Hum keh rahe the doo go coolie ka samaan hai...

Ishita:Bag dekho bag dekho girega...

Man 1:Abhi aur bhi samaan
hai?

Young Man :Aane do,
aane do...

Ishita :Ye lo, ye padko...
Haan...

Man
1:Bahut riks hai bahut risks hai... Samne dekhiye...

Ishita :Haan dekh rahi hoon, aap jaldi jaldi
samaan leejiye...Now the young man climbs
back in and extends his hand. The girl is pulled up into the running train.

She
clambers in, stands clutching her waist, panting and exhausted. The small
gathering is lookingat her.

Ishita:Oh... Oh teri... Oh god...
Aaj to hadd hi ho gayee, line cross hi ho gayee thi aaj to... (She looks at all the people in front. She lets out a laugh.)
Pata hai kya, aaj tak life mein ek
train nahin chhooti meri... Thank you Babaji, mera record tootne se bachaliya

(to Young Man) Aa
gayee hoon main andar. Ab to mera haath chhod do.

(laughs) Itni bhi sundar nahin hoon main.

Young Man
leaves her hand in a spark and looks embarrassed as Ishita points towards him
and laughs.

Passage in the moving train:

The girl is walking up holding a bag and
ticket, talking to the three

people who are following her with
her luggage.

Ishita:You know, mujhe Non AC mein chalna better lagta hai. Magar meri family...
Kehte hain tumladki ho... jaise mujhe hi nahin pata ki main ladki hoon.
(to a passenger) Bhai

saab A2 hain
na?

Passenger
Haan...

Ishita:
Thank you. (to her helpers) Ab AC se ladki ka kya connection hai, ye mere palle
nahin pada.

The passenger looks at the
procession pass.

Raman is
sitting on a seat. From the distance, Ishita and the other three walk up. Ishita
is looking at

the seat number as she walks.

Ishita:I mean koi pehli baari to akele travel kar
nahin rahi hoon main... More so is train mein... Ye to samajh lo ki mera second home hai.

Ishita stops, looks at Raman. She
drops her bag, looks at her ticket, looks back at Raman

suspiciously. She crosses to face
Raman.

Ishita:Ticket dikhaana please.Raman is looking down, in a trance.

Ishita:Hello... Aap se baat kar rahi hoon. Arey? Ye
meri seat hai. Twenty four. Kamaal hai? O boss...

She waves her
hand in front of his face. He looks up towards her. She thinks he is hearingimpaired.

She mimes, mouthing the words
carefully.

Ishita
(miming):Ye seat... chaubis... Meri...

Raman looks at her, then gets up
and sits on twenty three. He looks away.

Ishita:Ye passage waali seats koi nahin lena
chahta, magar main insist karti hoon ki bhaiya passagewaali seat hi do. Reservation waale
uncle bade hairaan pareshaan ho jaate hain magar

mera funda
ye hai ki raaste ke nazdeek rehne...

Ishita is adjusting her luggage
beneath the lower berth and up on the top berth and talking.

IshitaMera safar hai na, is train ke saath khatm nahin hota. No. Aage jaana
hai mujhe - Bhatinda...Mera ghar hai
vahan, family hai... Sab ki hoti hai, meri bhi hai... Hai na?

Bhatinde ki
sikhni hoon main...

Ishita is
getting comfortable in the seat now and talking.

Ishita:Sab kehte hain Mumbai bada crowded hai.
Arey? Crowded matlab kya? Crowd hum jaise logon se hi
to banta hai? Khud bheed ka hissa hain aur takleef bhi khud hi ko hai. So
funny...

Raman is sitting on his seat,
looking the other way. Ishita is another posture.

Ishita :Main to ja rahi hoon Mumbai chhod ke -
hamesha ke liye. Aayee thi pata hai kab, jab Mumbai Bombay tha. Ek naam ke shaher mein aayi, doosre
naam ke shaher se ja rahihoon... Achcha batao mujhe ye kya
logic hui ki...

Raman is
getting uncomfortable with her talking so much.

Ishita :Hostel, hostel, hostel... St Teresa's
boarding school hostel in Shimla, Missionary Hostel for College girls in Bombay Central,
Government Girls Hostel on Marine Drive...

Raman is restless.

Ishita .Mujhe kasam hai aaj ke baad kabhi hostel mein nahin rahoongi.
Nafrat ho gayee hai mujhe hostels se. I hate
hostels. I hate them.

Raman is
more restless.

Ishita .I hope barsaat ke aane se pehle ye roads ki digging band ho jaye
varna pata hai kyahoga? Anyway mujhe to fark nahin padta kyonki main rahoongi
nahin yahan magar jo baaki janta hai yahan
par...

Raman can
not take it anymore. He gets up abruptly and walks away.

Ishita .Kya
hua? Arey...?

(herself) arey aaj kal to bhalai ka jamana hi nhi raha ...mujhe kya jaaye jaha jaana hai...bas ek baar bhatinda pahuch joa...to mazza aa jaye..babaji jaldi pahucha do na pata nhi papaji nu ki gal karni hai...

how's it?
