WATCHMAN

So you are willing to risk your

life for a mere hundred rupees?

VICKY

No. I am willing to stand by my

belief and not let old men con me.

WATCHMAN

Your loss. Don’t come running to me

when She takes you away!

Vicky scoffs.

NEIGHBOUR AUNTY calls out for the Watchman --

AUNTY

Chacha, don’t forget my wall..

(pointing to the fading

inscription on her wall)

It’s fading. I’m not sure she will

be able to read it.

WATCHMAN

Ji, madam.

Thw Watchman walks over. Aunty hands a cup of chai.

AUNTY

I have made some chai for you.

WATCHMAN

Arre no madam. I have had a dozen

teas since morning!

AUNTY

Arre have one more. And make sure

you have written it bold and clear.

(adds)

I want to make sure she gets the

message.

Vicky shakes his head at this charade and enters his house.

The wall of his house remains blank. An Eerie feel.

EXT. TAILORING SHOP - DAY

Board proclaims: MODREN LADIES TAILOR.

Styling independent women. Since independence (1947).

Women of various sizes and ages are milling about the shop.

It’s rush hour at the shop. In contrast, the other shops

around the area are dead.

Vicky cycles up to his shop. Sees the rush -- a few women

light up at his sight -- he expertly turns the cycle, peddles

around the block and gets to the back entrance.
