               SETTING


               •       AESTHETICS: A 16 feet wide and 14 feet deep closed space with two partially open
               windows on the backside wall two single beds identically placed on each side of the room two

               study tables on the side of windows joined with the beds two cupboards placed identically on

               front side wall and joined with sidewalls. In the middle of the room a carrom board of 3 feet
               length and 3 feet width is placed.


               •       FUNCTION: Parv, Akash, Jai and Keshav are playing carrom. Aman is sitting idle on
               the right-side bed of the room and Aditya is using his phone on the left-side of the room.


               DIALOGUE:

               Aman: I think we should leave for Delhi tonight for the IPL match happening tomorrow.


               Akash: It is not as simple as it seems. We will have to arrange train tickets, match tickets and

               leave approvals by the end of the day and it is already 6:00 pm.

               Jai: I can arrange the match tickets; I have a relative in Delhi who works in this field.


               Akash: On the day before the match the tickets will obviously cost more and I don’t think
               everyone can afford it.


               Parv: That should not be an issue some of us will pay and the others can return us their part of

               the sum later.
