We The People

Scenario 1 : Two kids with their Mom Mom : Sonu, Monu ! Come let’s go to the Tagore Academy. There’s an exhibition on Chola dynasty sculptures. Sonu : Would there be any puppet show ? Monu : Mom, why can’t we go play football instead. Kids sulk and then escape to the playground.

Mom learns that she was being foolish. Next day, Mom: Sonu, Monu ! Let’s go to the circus. Sonu, Monu : Yay !!!!!!!!! The kids start jumping around.


Scenario 2 : A group of engineering students in the boys’ hostel Ramesh : Hey Guys ! I’ve a cool idea. Let’s start watching “Bidaai” every day. Shyam : Brilliant !! Mohan : And we would watch “Balika Vadhu” after every dinner ?? Shyam & Mohan mail a morphed photo of Ramesh in Ghagra-choli to everyone in the hostel.

Ramesh learns that he was being foolish. Next Day, Ramesh : IPL season starts tomorrow. Shyam : I love those words. Mohan pretends playing a cover drive with his hands. Shyam catches the non-existent ball.


Scenario 3 : Election time in India Politician : I promise roads, electricity and water to your village. Voter1 : Yeah right !! Voter2 : If not for those fifty rupees, I wouldn’t be listening to these boring bluffs a hundredth time. Crowd looks disinterested and not many claps and slogans are heard.

The politicians learn that they are being foolish. Next day, Politician 1 : The community X is a threat. Look what they’ve been doing here… Voter1 & Voter2 : He is so right !! Those b***rds need a lesson. Deafening claps & slogan-shouting.

Politician 2 : The community Y has been suppressing you. I’ll empower you . Voter3 & Voter4 : He is our saviour. Those pigs would never be nice to us. Deafening claps & slogan-shouting.

Politician 3: That businessman would take away your land. What’s the use of jobs and progress. Voter5 & Voter6 : God bless her. Let’s chase that devil and his factory out of here. Deafening claps & slogan-shouting.
