KARTIK:

Actually not, my girlfriend just gave upon me. INT. MORNING ROOM.

ANANYA:

I think you are married. Right... then a girlfriend!

KARTIK:

Are

you

from

SHOOTING SCRIPT antiquity! Whats the big deal? You dont get love from your wife and your search for it somewhere else. Dont you do the same when in dilemma to choose for right life, I mean dont you reason.

ANANYA:

So, that is you think. your life comments!

what Fine no

KARTIK:

Yep, my life! But not to forget you too have an issue to discuss.

ANANYA:

My problem is opposite in nature to yours. I have to bring my married life back on track, but cant understand my husband. He was all but a perfect husband when we married though with time became excessively demanding and insensitive to my beliefs.

KARTIK:

In what sense, can you explain in

SHOOTING SCRIPT detail?

ANANYA:

Ours was an arranged marriage and he loved me very much for first two weeks of our married life. After that he started to ask me to frequently visit beauty parlor and do all kinds of those pretentious beauty care stuff. I did all, other than those which I felt unnecessary. Above all I believe in simple living. I think a pretentious life only increases dissatisfaction in pursuit of satisfaction.

KARTIK:

(Was reminded of his wife by Ananyas attitude, ponders... Is she not her...? Then discards the notion speaking to himself) It cant be her... that bull headed cant think this much! (Now satisfied writes to Ananya) But dont you think the simple living you are talking about is contrary in itself, citing the situation you are in. Your man wants pretentious beauty, you want inner peace, contentment, simple life and all these things you

SHOOTING SCRIPT want are lost just because of his one desire.

ANANYA:

Right! That is something that worries me. His mad craving will rob me of my peace, contentment, simple life and eventually rob him also of these things!

KARTIK:

(Also reflects on himself and finds proximity with her husband) You can at least give it a chance... after all you are losing at every end and, it may cease your troubles once and for all. I think you must give it a chance.

ANANYA:

What if it goes otherwise and leads to an unending vicious circle of dissatisfaction.

KARTIK:

(Caught in the war of words and thought, was by chance struck by a notion) You said, earlier he loved you very much. Right! This brings

SHOOTING SCRIPT us close to solving your problem. Your decision in his favor may increase the probability of his being satisfied and indirectly to a large extent your being at peace and content... And as simplicity is concerned, my dear I assure you, its all about inner simplicity. Dont just mix it up with outer pretentiousness.

ANANYA:

Thats reasoned. I give thought!

well will

So, the done!

ANANYA:

But what about your girlfriend, I forgot to ask? What went wrong?

KARTIK:

I dont know... everything was fine; we loved each other, dated, and even made love... But I think I rushed up too much and too early to ask her to marry me.

SHOOTING SCRIPT

ANANAYA:

I think you should give her little time and space for the moment, then approach to feel sorry! Everything will be fine, dont worry!

KARTIK:

Thanks for your assurance! I would like to meet a nice person like you, who cares so much for her husband.

ANANYA:

Me too! After all it was me who was resurrected. Thanks a lot! Theres a nice play at Sahitya Kala Academy, lets go for that. I hope its fine with you! I will wait for you on the left entry of auditorium, in ---- colored kurti, sharp at 5:30 pm tomorrow.
