VICKY

He’s a senile old man.

RUDRA

He’s lost his marbles.

GAYATRI

He’s still around?

RUDRA

(hesitantly)

Well.. Kinda..*emergency

Jana stirs -- wakes up -- takes in the situation.

JANA

What happened here? Why am I tied

up like this?

They all exchange looks.

WRITER’S HOUSE - DAY

A senile old man, SHANKAR SHASTRI, in desperate need of a

shave and shower, with a perennially lost-in-thought

expression is at the moment.. lost in thought.

Almost frozen.

Across from him all 5 of them are crowded on a diwan. Staring

at him expectantly.

Shastri. Still frozen. Deep in thought.

Vicky starts to say something, Rudra quietly shushes him.

Then --

SHASTRI

Which book??

Everyone grunts out loudly like - ‘After all this??’

Rudra doesn’t give up.

RUDRA

We just now mentioned, sir. The

town gaatha.

SHASTRI

Oh that one!

(beat)

I wrote it?

Vicky is restless.

RUDRA

Yes. Remember? You came to my store

also.. Actually many times..
