Set Out: Terrace of a B School…

Character: Vishakha (Our female lead), Aarushi (Her best friend)…

Location: Kolkata

Object: Bottles of Liquor, Soft Drinks, Furniture

Aarushi: One shot, one peg is not big deal sweetheart!!

Vishakha: It’s okay Ash!! You know I am not in mood and anyways, I do not drink as often…

Aarushi: That is your problem!!! You are so cool but yet you don’t socialize enough !!!

Vishakha: Hello!!! Socializing means gelling with people and not drinking liquor… I go out, I go to parties and I eat, I dance, I meet people and I befriend them… That is my way of socializing… I do drink a few times… Only when my soul says so…!! That is a special occasion!!

Aarushi: So Mommy!! Let me guess you are saying my placement ain’t quite a special occasion…!! Huh!!

Vishakha: Common Baby!! I didn’t say that… Stop acting that mean and bitch… Who can I possibly expect to understand this…!!

Aarushi: Understand what??

Vishakha: That I don’t want to drink tonight!! I am in good mood!! Please don’t let it mess up by any chance!! Please don’t force me!!
Please Ash!!

Aarushi: Fine hotness!! No sweat there!! But you gotta buy me a whole barrel of Red Wine the day you get placed!!

Vishakha: Done Deal…!!!

Aarushi: But tell me on thing honsetly!!! You go to parties, dance, eat, hangout with boys, you don’t mind staying awake talking to them in their rooms or around the campus… Why not drink then??
Why not get involved with someone!!

Vishakha: See!! I told you about my drinking thing right!! Getting involved something when my heart says so!! Till date, it has not been the case!!! So when it clicks, baby, you know what I mean (Vishakha smiles, Aarushi breaks into a laugh)…. !! I mean why not!!

Aarushi: Tantrum, huh!! Good trait to have!!! (smiles)

Vishakha: Tantrum… Bitch please…!! (Laughs loudly)

Vishakha was focused, confident, out loud, extrovert a soul… More mature than most around her… Her age wasn’t exactly the correct measure of her sorted out mindset and persona!!! But she had no idea what some one far away, in the other corner of this part of the world was into after meeting her only once…!!!
