CUT to Scene takes place at night in the Dining Room:
There is a clock in a Dining Room which says 8:30pm Ashok is sitting at Dining Table waiting for food; to his left is his daughter Aishwarya (ashu). In front of her she has a plate fried potato chips rolled chapatti’s. His wife is cooking food in kitchen. Ashok looks at the clock which is in the dining table its 8:30pm he looks at the clock as if the time is running to fast. His head turns to his left. Ashu is playing with her doll.
Ashok:
Ashu please can you try eating more faster
Ashok looks at the kitchen. He calls for his wife in a much louder voice
Ashok:
Come on Pooja let it be fast you know I have to go to bed…
Till then Pooja comes up with aloo gobi and some chapatti with an angry face
Pooja:
It takes time to cook food, if you are in so hurry then why don’t you come in kitchen.
Ashok wasn’t interested in listening he was busy eating his food as fast as possible. Pooja gives a disappointed look and stares at ashu angrily, ashu keeps her doll down and starts eating her roll of chapatti in fear.

goes and stands at the edge of the platform and bends himself to left to see
if train is arriving. There is no hope in his face. He comes back to see a man
standing with him with a not so well ironed shirt and a old cotton pant with
a suitcase in his hand.
Unknown Person
Nowadays this virar local are always full and on the top of that
always late. Now if 7:05 local comes at 7:15 how will it work?

You know my life is like this rotating fan. The fan moves in the same direction everyday so do I. I catch the same train, same office, same work and meet similar people every day. You know I always wanted to do something different in life but due to family pressure or I didn’t have much guts. Actually I could have been a writer. Someday I will surely….
