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?
