didn’t even realise a person was coming to their office. With one hand on his laptop he is
writing with another hand and holding a blue inked metallic golden pen. He is sitting just below
a white fan which is sounding like an old damaged engine. With a wooden table and pale brown
wooden chair, a white switch board is placed just behind him.
Moving on to Meera who is also working in this office. She is sitting just behind the main door
with lots of books, files and papers placed on the metallic table and silver blue metallic chair.
She is leaning on the table and signing rapidly on the files. She is well dressed in a pink saree
with a bun and black spectacles on her nose. She is sitting crossing her legs and very much
frustrated by her work sweating heavily .
SCENE: -The whole scene is all about a fight or we can call it a debate among the three officials
and the man who has come here to ask about his loan application which was supposed to be
approved 1 month earlier but is still stuck somewhere in the whole vicious cycle of the
government system. He was really angry about this reckless behaviour of them so he argued
with all of them. Later in this whole argument they tried to take bribes from him but opposite
to it he only made them realise that taking bribes and cheating people is wrong, we should
practice good ,honest work and help the needy ones and serve the country till our last breath.
Scene started when Mr. Ram entered the office and try to communicate with them where all
the three officials were doing their own work.
Ram: (In a very low and polite voice) Sir, Hello sir!
Rajeev: Yes, how can I help you sir?
Ram: Actually, I applied for a loan 1 month ago.
Leonardo: So what?
Ram: yes, sir so I was just saying that it is not approved yet. So can I get to know the progress
report of it?
Leonardo: What’s your name? Who are you? And from where you have come?
Ram: Myself Mr. Ram Singhania and I am a reputed retired ex-bank manager, currently
working as a chief member of an NGO.I have applied for a loan since last month so that I can
help the poor people and……...
Leonardo: Stop! Why are you telling this to me? I am not here to listen to your bio data.
Ram: Yeah I know that but as a head of this department I have come to take your help. [Rajeev
was frustrated from all this talk and he shouted very loudly and stood from his chair. His
eyebrows lowered and pulled closer together, eyelids raised and bulged in anger and corner of
mouth pointed downwards]
Ram: Why are you shouting like this? Did I say something wrong and inappropriate?
