In front of the judges sleeps SAMAY and SAAR. SAMAY gets up

and wakes up SAAR like an alarm bell while matching dance
moves with the beats.

taiyaari ho rahi hai.

Saar monologue.

SAAR
Namaskar! Mai SAAR hoon. Mai mulya
hoon - mai bhaav hoon, dhoonda jaata
hoon mai kabhi rangmancho mein aur
kabhi nukkado mein, kabhi logon mein
aur kabhi awaazon mein.

kabhi istemaal hota hoon sahi se

shaheen ke baagho mein bankar awaaz
batane unko jinko pata nahi kya sahi
kya galat.

mai...SAAR hoon. Dukh parantu iss

baat ka hai ki jin kono mein nukkado
mein aana tha mujhe awaaaz ke saath.
Aaj woh awaaz goonjti hai bas vidya
ki deewaron mein.

mai SAAR hoon, ab pichda hua. Bhoola

hua.

* DJEMBE beats*

GNA 4
Magar message toh sahi ja raha hai
na? kahi aisa toh nahi ki jo hum bata
rahe hai bas bata rahe. Sun nahi
rahe.

GNA 2
Oh oh oh! Woh sab choro, hum LGBT pe
bhi kar sakte hai yaar. I really
think people need to be aware and
considerate towards this.

*GNA 2 sits with another GNA member*

GNA 2 (cont'd)
Are arey chipak kyun rahe ho? Gay ho
kya?

half half of CHUNO CHUNO gathers on the other side.*

* MANDLI starts the jingle (JINGLE on : how on one side

actual nukkad is going on while on the other side the
competition nukkad is going on.)*

* a girl from the SUNO SUNO and CHUNO CHUNO group comes out
and prepares to deliver a monologue *

PERSON 1
(points to MANDLI)
Mere desh waasiyon, mujhe yeh batao
ki meri awaaz sirf sunte ho ya
samajhte bhi ho?...

PERSON 2
Samajhte ho toh kuch karte bhi ho? Ya
sirf baate karte ho meri pyaari
audience
(points at mandli)

* MANDLI shouts and praises*

PERSON 1
Mai jaha se aayi hoon, kuch hai nahi
hamare paas, magar janta ko toh yahi
lagta hai na ki sarkaar ki madad hai.
Arey kaisi madad --

PERSON 2
-- jo bas dikhti ameero ke dabbo mein
hai...ya fir unki brandy night ki
baaton mein.

PERSON 1
Aakhir kya galti hai hamari...

PERSON 2
Joki hamare baare mein jo baate hai
woh unko kyun sunayi jati hai jinki
yeh koi takleef hi nahi hai?

* Person*

* SAMAY ENTER*

SAMAY
Galti, ek aisa chota sa shabd hai jo
duniya ke har karmo ko baandh kar ek
nadaan sa roop de deta hai. Magar
baat aisi hai janaab, galti karne
mein harj nahi galti dohraane mein
hai.

Baaki mera kya, aage badhta rehta

hoon aur aage badhte jaoonga. Magar
mujhe peeche ghuma kar dekho toh bas
dikhti hai cheeze badlav ki, jo aage
badha toh raha hai, magar cheezon ko
peeche chodte jaati hai.

kabhi log awaaz buland karte they

apni takleefe batane ke liye, sunane
ke liye unko jinke liye yeh takleefe
hai hi nahi.

* djembe beats. Both suno suno and chuno chuno group forms a
mandli *

SAMAY (cont'd)
Baat badi khed ki hai, kabhi jaagruk
kiya jaata tha unn logon ko unke hi
nukkad mein bankar awaaz jinko desh
ki baa-dhayen aur unke liye ki gayi
yojnaon ki koi samajh nahi thi.

* a person comes from the MANDLI*

PERSON 1
Sarkaar ne aapke liye shaucha laye
banaye hai, khaad fasal ke liye yojna
banaai hai aur sarkaar yeh bhi kehti
hai ki janaab bistar garam karno ho
toh condom zaroor istemaal karo magar
inn sabse pehle padho aur padhao.

* MANDLI says "ohh, then someone from the MANDLI says"*

PERSON 2
Bohot shukriya, aapki wajah se hame
yeh sab pata chala.nahi toh yeh awaaz
hum tak aati hi nahi.

SAMAY
Awaaz goonjti abhi bhi hai parantu
waha nahi jaha goonjni chahiye. Toh
ab goonjti hai waha jahan par padhaai
chalti hai zoro shoro se. Toh jo
padhta hai unko woh bata ke kya
faida, jo khud se cheeze samajh sakte
hai, jaan sakte hai aur pata kar
sakte hai. Toh kyun na awaaz waha
lagayi jaaye jinko awaaz ki zaroorat
hai.

iss seekh ko sikhlane mai har baar

aaoonga, apna bichda fir se
batlaoonga. Mai aaage hi chalta hoon
toh kya hua. Peeche dekhna abhi bhi
aata hai.

Mai, SAMAY hoon.
