In praise of dark women






Daum Girl
How'd you get all that in
Dem Jeans,
Dem Jeans?
How'd you get all that in Dem?
Daum Girl
How'd you get all that?
(Is you talking to me?)
Yeah, you
I bet you had to jump up and down
Just to put 'em on
Bet you had to wiggle it around
Just to put 'em on
Bet you had to lay back on the bed
Just to zip 'em up
Am I right?
(You right)
Baby that's what's up































More bossy than all the feminists combined

Hey ya.
You don't have to love me
You don't even have to like me
But you will respect me
You know why?
Cuz I'm a boss!


I'm bossy
I'm the first girl to scream on a track
I switched up the beat of the drum
That's right, I brought all the boys to the yard
And that's right, I'm the one that's tattooed on his arm
I'm bossy
I'm the bitch you love to hate
I'm the chick that's raised the stake
I told young stunna he should switch to Bape
I'm back with an 808 'cause I'm bossy

All about ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder)

THE MOST TYPICAL HALLMARKS OF THIS CONDITION ARE:

*Chronic procrastination; always putting things off until the last minute, or indefinitely--especially if it's a task you'd prefer to avoid.

*Mood cycles ~ sometimes up; feeling motivated, confident, “normal” and able to get much accomplished--and sometimes down; feeling unmotivated, inert, disorganized, insecure, overwhelmed, ashamed, “crazy or stupid” and mild to moderately depressed.

Third Eye ---- A Software Product

Imagine internet without Google or any other search engine.

No, seriously, just imagine. Impossible, right?

Let me imagine for you. You ask your friends for any cool website for movies, or for some key word " What to do when my wife hits me", and for which your friends would look at you with some expression which I can't fathom.

Every day you go to some particular website where all the website names get stored, and then you have to go through the list one by one to find the website you are looking for. The search in that website would be damn slow that you give up the search and go manual. In spite of that, you would still be not sure if you got the right website or not. Imagine all this!

But, you would be perfectly happy by the end of the day. This is possible because you have no knowledge of search engine's existence,especially Google. Knowledge is misery, and Ignorance is bliss.

Imagine the same with SAP.

SAP (Systems Applications and Products) is a monstrous software product which has millions of code and giga bytes of data. As a SAP consultant, I noticed that myself and many of my colleagues spent huge amounts of time looking for information. That was almost like 30% of our project time.

30% of project is equivalent to millions of dollars.

Now, I want you to have this knowledge --- An intelligent search engine exists for SAP.

It is 3i, AKA Third Eye.







I wrote Third Eye, frustrated with the difficulty in finding information in SAP. Third eye has the capability  of finding information within seconds...yes..within seconds, which is quite unthinkable in the present scenario.

For the first time in the history of search, third eye does not put restrictions on the length
of the search string. In Google, the bigger the search string, the less relevant the search results are. But, not with third eye.Third eye preserves the sequence of the words.
For example, if you have a piece of code, and want to look for a program which has that code, it brings up exactly that program. This is possible because, the whole search string becomes one key word for third eye...unlike Google, which indexes the key words.

Third eye is not only helpful for the developers; but also for beginners,functional consultants, managers, and even CEO's. This is one stop solution which cuts across designations.

Third eye is just part of the 'still unnamed' family of tools, which include upgrade
analysis and simulation.These family of tools helps in reducing the project time by making
the resources more intelligent.

Because, the difference between intelligent and not-so-intelligent person is, information and speed of access of that information.


 
 Third eye can be easily extended to some other non-SAP applications.

I request everyone to open their 'third eye' to visualize the enormous benefits of this application.


Thank you,

Dreams and Me.

Dreams. Why do we dream?

What was the evolutionary reason behind dreams? Were dreams an unintended consequence of evolution? If they were useless relic, why weren't they eliminated?

Did dreams gave direction to humans? Then, why don't we remember them as often.

How dare they?

She celebrated her 2nd year in this world. On that night,
She woke up with mirchi in her eyes.Her tears tried to stop the burning.
Her lungs tried to stop breathing.She was suffocating. It was confusing.
Just imagine.

And then, she died. Died a horrible death. Blood replaced her tears.

She was the 'unknown child'. Unknown, most probably because her parents died unknown. They must have died in the same way she died. Or, they must have buried her dead body and then died a couple of days later. 'Unknown child' was unknown for a reason.

What if she is alive? She is the beautiful woman you see on the street, and fall in love. She is the doctor.She is the actress.She is the scientist. She is the proud mother of two, a girl and a boy. She is the one who is 'celebrating for being alive'. Most importantly; she is my contemporary, my colleague, my age group.

No. She is not the one. She died long back. 1984 december 3rd 12 am, to be exact.


This is all sentimental drivel. Nonsense. Bullshit.
'They' used these sentiments to attack the people and causes responsible for her death. How dare they?

How dare they fight against the corporation? How dare they question the capitalism? Whats best for a company is best for the people, right? It is all trickle down economics,right? The welfare of the poor is linked to the welfare of the rich, right?

How dare they question a rich citizen of  a world power? How dare they question Warren Anderson? How dare they disturb his costly golfs and ace in the holes? Dont they know that a single life of an american is equivalent to 100's of lives in third world countries. What are they smoking? How can a curry and sweat smelling punjabi dress and saree is equivalent to a perfumed victoria secret. I question you. For god sake, watch them carefully. Which one do you want to save? For whom, would your heart bleed and cry for? We all cried for the princess of england. How many of us cried for bhopal? Come on man, which one looks dramatic? Blood on white skin or blood on dark skin? Blood on a rich skin or blood on a poor skin?

How dare they question indian politicians? How dare they question the sell outs?
How dare they question, 'might is right'? How dare they question the lethargy in extradition? How dare  they question "$500 compensation per head for life time of misery"?

9/11 2001. Thousands died.Americans blood boiled.Revenge it wanted.Revenge it got. America started a war which killed almost a million.

One of the accused in "Bhopal gas accident', is living a billionaire life somewhere in long island, new york. How dare they question the hypocrisy of America? How dare they question the corruption in India?How dare they question politicians who 'bow to DOW'? How many Indians work for DOW, which bought the union carbide? Past is past, right?

They are lazy. They just sit on the sidelines and criticize the successful. They are the unproductive lot, who stands between 'John Galt' and his dreams.They are the ones who refuse to see the gold mine of the future. The deaths of 20,000 are peanuts. 200,000 children were exposed to the gases. That was like 200 american children. What would america do if it happend in america?

The hypocrisy smells like calvin klien perfume. I love it.I gotta love it, because I get my bread and butter and mercedes for me,and honda for my wife; from America.I gotta love it.

The bogus Wikipedia says, "No one has yet been prosecuted".

She came in my dreams last night and said, " I am the bright star you see in the sky. I wish I was not dead. I am stuck here, watching mother earth from the upstairs.It pains me to see the hypocrisy on the mother earth.Earth was my mother. They dug me out from the mother earth, and made my face alive for centuries to come.I was looking at the stars, that was why I was made a star.I wish I was not dead"

It is all sentimental drivel. Nonsense.Bullshit.

How dare they question my hypocrisy?

How dare they?

The Spiral (core ideas of the script)






    If you want to know the truth - go insane
       If you want to go insane - know the truth.


   Then you will learn the truth and the truth will 
   set you free.
                         John 8:32




Wrote this script like 2 years ago.I certainly feel it is a bit amateurish while reading it now. There are lot of threads which are left open in the story.In some ways, I am ashamed of the script..but its my script nevertheless.
I am posting the script 'as-is' or may be with some changes..If I feel like it.




Before reading it, remember :


1. It is not autobiographical.
2. The name 'lakshmi' is pretty apt for the character.
3. I am not crazy.
4. It is not about feminism.















                                             "THE SPIRAL"    
                                    Written by Vamsee Kamana



               [I am probably talking about madness in this movie. are mad
               people really mad. People generally dont accept other people
               different than them. The friction in the society is due to
               the 'otherness'. A person-person,caste-caste,religon
               religon,nation-nation friction arises from that the fact that 
               'they are different from us'. In the same way when a person
               behaves in an otherwordly fashion, people has to invent a new
               word..and that is madness.For a person who is labelled as
               mad, he most probably thinks that he is alright. Infact, what
               is right and what is wrong? No one knows.People follow a set
               of rules and when someone break the rules, they are labelled
               as  arrogant and stupid..and at the extreme end, they are
               called as mad. One of the rules of the society is that, god
               exists and he is a good god. The character in the movie
               thinks otherwise. She thinks that god exists and he is
               cruel.Her own life is her proof. Will she find god and will
               the god find her? Whats gonna happen?]

               [LAKSHMI lives in this small house left by her parents. Her
               parents are religious hindus..but quite secular. Her parents
               committed suicide for some unknown reasons. We dont know them
               yet.This left her extremely depressed and lonely. She starts
               questioning her own belief system. She reasons herself that
               all god wants is loyalty and power. If there is no death and
               pain, no one would believe in god. The whole pooja room
               sequence is just  manifestation of her thoughts..she assumes
               that god himself is scaring her by playing games with her.
               She wants revenge...because her philosphy is that..she wont
               hurt anyone ...and if someone tries to hurt her, she is gonna
               hurt them back. eye for an eye policy. Eye for an eye is the
               most basic belief system for a man. Because, man thinks in
               this way : if some one takes your eye and if you wont do
               anything..then he is gonna come for your leg. So man uses
               fear (by taking out the other mans eye) to defend
               himself..and at the same time god uses the same fear  to ask
               for loyalty. 

               How fear and madness are related? Fear is the most common
               denominator of every animal and human being in this
               world...and as I told before, a person who doesn't have any
               fear ..will be hated because...(not that he/she is great or
               anything) he is just different. LAKSHMI does have fear
               initially, but she may win the fear in the end..but in the
               process she may become mad..because she may win the battle
               against fear.Is she gonna win and lose at the same time?

               Ofcourse,there are different kinds of madness in this
               world.Fearlessness is one kind of madness.]

               [The script is still under construction]



               Opening Scene.

               EXTREME CLOSE-UP of a woman's eyes.

               Camera DOLLY OUT and we see a woman's face.

               The color of the scene is red. We can see a red hue all over.
               she looks at us for a few moments and spit on us.

               The beautiful spit forms in to 'a film by vamsee kamana'.

               Her face  is covered with blood and blood is splashed all
               around.

               The face looks peaceful and there is a hint of smile in it.

                                   WOMAN (V.O.)
                         At last, I have done what I had to
                         do. The guilty has been punished. 

               A beat later.

                         If you attack me, I will attack
                         you. If you hurt me, I will hurt
                         you back. If you destroy my life
                         I will assassinate  you.



               CAMERA DOLLY OUT TO REVEAL A MASS OF FLESH IN HER LAP.

               Looks like it has been tortured and butchered. LAKSHMI is
               taking care of it..rubbing it with her hands as if it is her
               baby.



               CAMERA QUICKLY DOLLY IN WITH A ZOOM.

               She gets up and hits the already dead flesh with a iron rod.

               The room is full of blood and it all looks red.

               Cut to black.
               Titles.
               A woman is searching for something in the city of Hyderabad.
               The titles are painted on many walls of hyd.
               Bob marley is singing 'NO WOMAN NO CRY'    in the background.
               Titles come rhythmically with the music.
               May be I will show the swamijis..mullahs and other stuff.
               The audience has to understand what they are about to see.
              


               INTRODUCTION SCENE.



               INT. LAKSHMI'S APT - NIGHT.

               LAKSHMI is doing her exercises and she is sweating. sweating
               a lot. she just did her pushups,situps,abs. 

               She starts doing her pullups.

               Shes doing it on her "ataka". Ataka is almost empty except an
               empty old suitcase.

               1st pull up -- she notices that there is a small old suitcase

               2nd pull up -- she notices that there is something hiding
               behind it.

               3rd pull up -- that something is closer to her now.

               She does her 4th pullup very slowly.

               4th pullup -- that something is much closer to her now.

               5th pull up ..very slowy --- that something has gone.

               Cut to black.



               INT. OUTSIDE POOJA ROOM - MORNING. 

               Camera looks at the locked pooja room for a few moments.we
               hear some sound coming from the bed room.

                                                                CUT TO:



               INT. LAKS APT - MORNING. 

               Shots of a clock,furniture,bed,microwave spinning,the
               kitcken, the pooja room the bath room all coming to a big
               climax soundwise.



               INT. LAKSHMI's BEDROOM - EARLY MORNING.

               LAKSHMI is sleeping on the bed and the nighty reveals part of
               her thighs.

               The room says "middle class".It is a bit disorganized as if
               some work has been done recently. The sunlight falls on her.

               As we are admiring her beauty,the alarm rings. She gets up
               and we can see her face now.

               Her face shows that she just dreamt...not a nightmare..just a
               dream.

               LAKSHMI gets up and sits in the living room. Her hair is
               dishevelled. Looks Like she did some real work last night and
               slept late.

               She hides her face with her hands and the hair falling all
               around her.She wants to hide from everything.

                                   LAKSHMI
                         Is today different from yesterday
                         and will tomorrow be different from
                         today? Will the sun stop rising and
                         traffic stops running.



               INT. LAKSHMI'S BATHROOM - EARLY MORNING

               LAKSHMI is looking at herself in the mirror

                                   LAKSHMI (V.O.)
                         If something is not done
                         today,nothing can be done tomorrow.

               She goes in to her shower and starts taking bath.We can see
               the water coming out of the shower.

                                   LAKSHMI (V.O.) (CONT'D)
                         The world started with a big bang
                         and it will end with a big bang.



               INT. LAKSHMI's BEDROOM - EARLY MORNING.

               LAKSHMI comes to her bedroom with a towel wrapped around her
               body. she goes to her night stand and stands before the
               mirror.

               She is looking at herself and then takes off her towel.she
               looks at the mirror for a few moments.(andam ga lena song )

               She pinches the fat on her tummy.Looks like she started working out
               pretty recently.Show her sexiness in this shot.

                                   LAKSHMI (V.O.)
                         What is beauty? Is it the color?is
                         It the shape of the face?is it the
                         smoothness of your skin? Is the
                         symmetry? Or is it economic or
                         power system.

               We show the images of circle..a white woman a black woman
               etc..to drive her point.

               LAKSHMI gets dressed up and about to leave.

               She glances towards the pooja room for a minute with an
               expression of fear.

               CAMERA DOLLY IN towards the pooja room.

               Something is certainly ominous.

               INT. NEIGHBOURS APT - MORNING.

               A man is watching tv and operating the remote. Looks like he
               is watching 10th wonder. His  eyes are almost glowing. we
               DOLLY IN in to the tv and the images on the TV appear. Its
               ramya krishna in her swim suit jumping in to swimming pool.
               We then see that it has been rewinded and then played in slow
               motion now. we see the man with almost his mouth open...but
               it looks like it is not unusual for him to watch like this..
               He fastforwards the scene and now we see sridevi drenced in
               rain and singing.

               We can clearly see her milky thighs..

               we DOLLY IN in to him.

               The man hears some sound coming from outside.. he quickly
               switches off the TV and goes to the window..

               his POV we see LAKSHMI locking her doors..

               His face turns in to desire and admiration.



               EXT. OUTSIDE LAKHMIS APT - MORNING.

               LAKSHMI locks the door and checks the lock twice.



               INT. PSYCHIATIRST OFFICE - MORNING.

               The psychiatrist office is in punjagutta. Obviously the
               traffic noise is deafening. Its as if people cant live
               without that noise. The noise atleast helps them to avoid 
               thinking.

               We see a hall with few patients sitting. There is a old
               couple with a granddaughter.The old woman has a bandage on
               her hand and looks like the couple fought before coming here.

               There is one other man sitting a few feet from them and he
               lacks a bit of confidence. We notice that he is looking at
               LAKSHMIS boobs.

               Lakhmi tries to cover her boobs.

                                   LAKSHMI (V.O.)
                         A psychiatrist is all you need on
                         your death bed.

               The doctor's assistant is talking on phone..I guess with her
               boyfriend..and she looks totally bored.

                                   DOCTORS ASSISTANT (loudly)
                         Kamana Vara Lakshmi

                                   LAKSHMI

               Introduction Scene Over.

               SUB-TITLE : 7 DAYS BACK.
 
               INT. LAKSHMI'S BEDROOM - NIGHT



               CLOSEUP OF THE CLOCK SHOWING 2AM.

               LAKSHMI is sleeping. The silence is frightening. suddenly
               there is a small sound as if some one is walking carefully..
               and the noise increases and its coming from the pooja room.
               LAKSHMI wakes up because of the noise and it stops. LAKSHMI
               tries to listen carefully for a few seconds ...looks like it
               is just her imagination... and then suddenly again..there is
               some noise.. LAKSHMI gets up...slowly...and shes sweating
               now.. The noise of some one walking...and then someone
               whispering... She starts walking slowly towards the pooja
               room...the talking continues...some one is talking in hushed
               up voice.... LAKSHMI walks towards the pooja room and looks
               in to it. and the talking stops. 

               She opens the pooja room and it is in disarray as if someone
               was looking for something ..most probably food..looks like
               they are getting frantic...(because LAKSHMI used to a have a
               mother who committed suicide a few months back in the same
               house...and she used to pray to god all the time and she kept
               prasadam in the room..and now that prasadam has gone..day by
               day..and more the days..more intensity is the search.)

               LAKSHMI is scared shitless...she runs back to her bedroom...

           
               INT. BUS STOP - AFTERNOON

               LAKSHMI is sitting at some hyd bus stop. A middle aged man is
               looking at her with desire..looking at her boobs and ass..She
               looks calm without any discomfort. The man keeps looking at
               her as if he is going to eat her.

                                   LAKSHMI (V.O.)
                         You know what  I am going to do if
                         you put that disgusting hand on me?



               INT. SOME ROOM - SOME TIME.

               The previous middle aged man is now in LAKSHMI's room.

                                   LAKSHMI (V.O.)
                         First I will give you the
                         injection.

               Close-up of injection piercing the skin.

                                   LAKSHMI (V.O.) (CONT'D)
                         Then I will cut your pencil dick.

               The mans pants are now full of blood..blood gushing
               uncontrollably.

                                   LAKSHMI (V.O.) (CONT'D)
                         then I will...

               LAKSHMI puts the dick covered in blood  in a grinder and with
               some tomato and some other veggies...

                                   LAKSHMI (V.O.) (CONT'D)
                         drink this vegetable juice....good
                         for your health...
                         yoga is also good.

               BACK TO



               EXT. SAME BUS STOP - SAME TIME.

               LAKSHMI looks at him and give a smile and the man smiles back
               and catches his bus.

               damn....he just missed a wonderful opportunity.



               THREE DAYS BACK.

           INT. LAKSHMI'S APT

               LAKSHMI is sitting on her sofa. Extreme close-up. zoom out
               reveals her and behind her all the windows are draped with
               blankets as if she doesn't want the light to come and
               interfere.

               Her hair looks a bit untidy as if she went thru some
               hairsplitting thoughts.

                                   LAKSHMI (V.O.) 
                         Someone is stealing my ladoos.

               LAKSHMI is counting her ladoos.

                                   LAKSHMI (V.O.) (CONT'D)
                         1..2..3..4..5..6..7..8..9..10
                         Two ladoos missing. Two ladoos
                         missing again.

               LAKSHMI is frantically searching for something. she takes
               away the idols of gods and everything.

               she goes to watch tv and watches it for sometime.

               A few moments later she comes back and count the ladoos
               again.

                                   LAKSHMI (V.O.) (CONT'D)
                         Who is stealing my ladoos?

               she prepares a chart and sticks in on the wall. There is a
               complete list of the ladoos missing.

               05/02/2010  -- 2 ladoos missing

               05/08/2010  --  4 ladoos missing.

               etc...

               INT. LAKSHMIS BEDROOM - NIGHT

               Lakshmi is sleeping on her bed and the time is 2 am. The same
               sound of steps and whispering starts again in the pooja
               room.lakshmi is not as terrified as before..but still she is
               shivering. She hears the sound of someone opening the pooja
               room door..it opened slowly. We can hear the sound of some
               small and slow steps. Lakshmi quickly goes and takes the iron
               rod she bought and hides under the bed.She(we) is watching
               everything from under the bed. It dark under the bed..but the
               bedight is illuminating outside the bed. Someone is
               approaching her bed..she can see the feet of some person or
               animal..she is not sure who it is. Looks like  IT is
               searching for something. IT stops near the bed for some
               time.Then suddenly it goes and walks towards the kitchen.We
               can hear the sound of someone searching for something in the
               kitchen.

               A few moments later IT walks towards the pooja room and
               closes the door.

               Cut to black.



               INT. LAKSHMIS BEDROOM - MORNING.

               Lakshmi slept under the bed and she wakes up in the
               morning.She goes to the pooja room..and everything seems
               quite as if nothing happened there.She then goes to the
               kitchen and she finds that it has been almost trashed..the
               dabbas are all open now. She walks back to the pooja room and
               opens the door. Everything seems fine in the room.No one
               inside it.



       


               INT. LAKSHMI'S POOJA ROOM -- NIGHT.

               LAKSHMI is clearing up the pooja room.She stops looks at the
               photos of gods Hindu gods jesus chirst and Allah.looks like
               she doesn't discriminate godwise.

               She somehow feels that someone is living in her pooja room or
               some one is coming in to her pooja room every night.So she
               keeps ladoos in that room to find out who it is.

               Then she puts the camcorder some where on the corner..so that
               she has the complete view of the room.

                                   LAKSHMI (V.O.)
                         I will get the proof  and catch it
                         tonight.

               She locks the room and come out.She has the look of great
               satisfaction at her work.



               INT. LAKSHMI'S LIVING ROOM - NIGHT.

               LAKSHMI is walking to and fro with great anticipation before
               the pooja room. She is restless.

               She is walking and constantly glancing at the pooja room.

               Nothing happened..atleast that's what she thought.



               INT. SOME PLACE - SOME TIME.

               It is all dark..except some light coming out of a small hole.
               The camera pans left and right as if someone is looking for
               something.The Background voice has some static.

                                   SOME ONE (V.O.)
                         Where am I? Why is it dark here? Am
                         I dreaming. No. I am not
                         dreaming.What Is that smell? Why
                         does it smells like a zoo.

               The camera tracks upward as if that 'some one' gets up.

                                   SOME ONE (V.O.) (CONT'D)
                         Yes. It smells like a zoo. I
                         remember this smell. This smells
                         like animal shit.

               The camera moves smoothly as if that 'some one' is moving
               smoothly.

                                   SOME ONE (V.O.) (CONT'D)
                         Where is ma and daddy. Where is my
                         brother. Where did  they go. Whats
                         happening. I gotta go to school.I
                         gotta complete my home work.
                         Trignometry.

               Slowly our eyes gets accustomed to the darkness. It is not
               completely dark after all. That 'some one' moves and the
               camera subjectively moves with that person. The camera goes
               towards a mirror and stands in front of it. We are not able
               to make out the figure.

               As we slowly get used with the dark, we see a BIG snake
               staring at itself. If we can some how dissect the emotions of
               a snake, its like " Its fucking impossible".



               INT. LAKSHMI'S BED ROOM - EARLY MORNING.

               LAKSHMI wakes up from her nightmare. It must be the worst
               nightmare ever.She is sweating all over. She gets up and runs
               towards the mirror. She looks at herself in the mirror and we
               notice a look of satisfaction.



               EXT. HYDERABAD ZOO. - EVENING.

               LAKSHMI is at the hyd zoo. She is at the snakes section. She
               is looking at each snake closely and attentively. Whats wrong
               with her?



               INT. LAKSHMI'S APT - MORNING.

               LAKSHMI gets up as usual and goes to the pooja room and the
               first thing she does is go and have a look at pooja
               room..half of the ladoos are missing ..she seems happy now
               and then she takes the camcorder and takes it to her living
               room.



               INT. LAKSHMI'S LIVING ROOM - MORNING

               She connects the camcorder to the TV. we can see the images
               of the pooja room on the TV. Nothing is happing there.
               She fast-forwards it...and plays it again.. Suddenly there is
               a movement..a very small movement..near the ladoos..

               cut to : she looking at the monitor with great interest.

                The movement near the ladoos stop for sometime..and then
               after few seconds..there is a movement ..and then suddenly we
               see a movement near the gods photos... and then out of no
               where...there is a sudden flash of light and  obscures the
               view.. and then all we see is static for  30 seconds..

               and then we see the pooja room in clear view...with half of
               ladoos missing


               
               
               THREE DAYS BACK.



               INT. LAKSHMI'S APT - NIGHT.

               LAKSHMI switches on her TV and watching news...with a food
               plate in her hands. We can hear some noise coming from the
               apt upstairs. Looks like they are the dialogues of high
               octane melodrama serials in telugu which are popular.

               She couldnt concentrate..and there is an increase in volume.

               CUT TO.

               LAKSHMI is trying to sleep..but couldnt sleep becoz of the
               noise coming from

               upstairs. She covers her ears with the pillow.



               EXT. NEIGHBOURS APT - NIGHT.

               LAKSHMI is knocking on his door.The man opens his door and
               looks at her surprisingly..

                                   LAKSHMI

                                   LAKSHMI
                         Okay.

               A beat later.

                                   LAKSHMI (CONT'D)
                         I dont know if it is related to you
                         or not..but i have this question..

                                   NEIGHBOUR
                         What is it?

                                   LAKSHMI
                         I want to see something which
                         cannot be seen with naked eye.Are
                         there things which cannot be seen
                         with naked eye, not even with a
                         video camera.

                                   NEIGHBOUR
                         Ofcourse..ofcourse..just like
                         wind..it cannot be seen .but can be
                         felt.

               LAKSHMI thinks abt it a bit...

                                   LAKSHMI
                         What if you cannot even feel it?

                                   NEIGHBOUR
                         What is it you are talking about?

                                   LAKSHMI
                          I dont know...thats what I want to
                         find out.



            


               INT. SOME PLACE -- SOME TIME.

               LAKSHMI is listening to some songs which reminded her of her
               teenage period.

               Her emotion is bit of nostalgia and sadness and a pain which
               has no balm ..becoz that age and moment has gone.

                                   LAKSHMI(VO)
                         Youth wasted.where did it go?I see
                         these young people and all I feel
                         is jealousy..I want it all back.Its
                         is not fair. It is not fair.Why
                         Some people have everything and
                         some dosent? Why should I be on the
                         loser side.



               INT. TANK BUND - LATE MORNING.

               LAKSHMI is walking along the tank bund.

                                   LAKSHMI (V.O.)
                         Man is a heartless animal. He kills
                         humans..kills animals..kills the
                         environment and kills himself. He
                         Is on the path to suicide. Life
                         Itself is a suicide. Think about
                         it.We all die in the end. We are
                         always working towards our death.



               EXT. HYDERABAD -- SOME PLACE.

               LAKSHMI enters an old building which kind of looks like ' no
               publicity' The name plate outside the room says," friend
               circle of greater hyderabad' The room is a bit small and
               dimly lit. LAKSHMI enters the room and the members give a
               bright smiles.

               First look says that the members are having a party and they
               are acting as if it is an occasion to laugh...actually they
               are laughing out loud...over the top.

                                   LEADER
                         The only simple and important thing
                         you have to understand is :it is
                         all chemicals in your brain..they
                         make you think you are
                         nothing...that there is no
                         hope..that you are a loser..sadness
                         and boredom is a fleeting
                         emotions...they doesn't stay
                         forever. Hope is a beautiful
                         thing.It is ridiculous to take
                         decision when you are in that
                         emotion.you know what heals us
                         all...time. Time will heal
                         everything. You don't feel the same
                         now when you remember your sadness
                         when your parents or your teacher
                         hit you..give it
                         sometime...okay..please ...

                                   LAKSHMI (NOT RAISING HER HEAD)

                                   WOMAN1 (SHOUTING)
                         Imagining and doing things are
                         completely two different things.
                         Do you feel the same pain when you

               The leader shakes his head as if he dosent approve and has
               given up.

               INT. LAKSHMI'S LIVING ROOM - NIGHT.

               LAKSHMI is writing her dairy..we can see her illuminated face
               from the table lamp.

               INT. LAKSHMI'S APT - NIGHT.

               That something in the first scene is a small box.It moved as
               if some one behind it pushed it.LAKSHMI climbed the ataka in
               her excercise pants..still sweating. She slowly opens the
               box.inside the box there are stack of books wrapped in towel
               along with some other materials. She opens the cloth.The
               books are her dairies she wrote when she was a kid. A smile
               appears on LAKSHMI's face.

               LAKSHMI starts reading the first page of the first telugu
               diary.

               LAKSHMI is getting super excited now..she is almost shaking
               with excitement. Her situation is understandable,because the
               the long lost memories came flooding back..It is a mixture of
               emotions actually..depending on what page she is reading.

               EXT. CONSTRUCTION SITE - MORNING.

               A man is working on the construction site. He is strong and
               virile. He is working hard and we can see his muscles.

               He is coming back home on the mfts train. He looks at LAKSHMI
               and LAKSHMI looks back at him.

               LAKSHMI gets this weird idea that he is following her. and he
               is indeed following her...but he is calm with no
               emotions...he is not even tired.

               She is now crossing the rail tracks and the man is following
               her.

               All through her walk she sees him following her.



               EXT. SLUMS OF HYDERABAD - MORNING

                         The law of the nature is this. The
                         powerful exploits the weak. If
                         there is no exploitation the world
                         stops. That's the way it is. There
                         is no other way around.  the
                         problem with the knowledge is that,
                         the more knowledge you get the more
                         you hate being weak. Knowledge does
                         not make you powerful. knowledge
                         along with ruthlessness makes you
                         powerful. Knowledge only makes you
                         depressed. The tiger eats the weak
                         zebra. The rich exploits the poor
                         The god exploits everyone. He is
                         having a party somewhere. watching
                         us..making us pray for him.
                         He wants us to be weak.
                         I.am.not.weak.

              She starves the PITBULL for the night. The PITBULL takes a liking
              for her, but it is hungry. It is looking all over. 

              Time is 12am. She takes the pitbull to the pooja room. Her walking with 
              PITBULL looks like a goddess walking with her weapon.It is surreal.

              door.
 
               We notice a smile in her face.

             LAKHMI is on her bed. The room is except and the only light is the street light
             coming from the street. The silence is once again friegtening intercepted by
             howls of the street dogs in the street. She is covered by blanket till her chest. Her
             hands holding it in anticipation. CLOSE UP reveals her eyes. They are open.

             The next second she hears some feeble noise from pooja room. The PITBULL
              starts barking. It barks for atleast 5 mins. The disturbed neigbours knocks on her 
            door. But, as usual, she dosent care. The barking of the PITBULL grows in intensity.
            It barks crazily for 30 secons and then suddenly it stops with a wimp.

            LAKSHMI is very happy.She laughs a little.She finally sleeps and dreams a beautiful
            dream.

           to the pooja room.It is dark. The floor is slippery and she almost slips down. She switches
           on the light, and what she sees something on the floor. Her face has the impression, “ Its 
           unbelievable”.

           It floor is full of blood. The PITTBULL'S head is at the center of the pooja room. Her 
           front legs are somewhere near the back of the room.He hind legs are near the front of the
           room. LAKSHMI slipped on the balls of PITTBULL.

          The PITTBULL has been massacred very cruelly. Its body is dispersed in such a way that
          the killer is giving a warning to her.

          LAKSHMI looks around the room with horror. Then, she jumps back, closes the door, and runs
          out of her apt.

               blinking.

               LAKSHMI sleeps on her back and for the first time..she cries.

               Suddenly, there is a small movement at the corner of the
               room. Some one is searching for something..but it is too
               small a place for anyone to sit or stand there. There is an
               intensity in the search...and then we see an enormous rat

               beside it. It looks big..enormous. We can see the shadow of
               the person sitting. Even though it has a big body..it has the
               movement of a child. It is eating prasadam and the rat too is

                         Know what would they do..dance like
                         crazy and fuck like crazy. Will
                         they come and kill me?

               There is no response from the figure.



               INT. LAKSHMI'S BATHROOM - NIGHT.

               LAKSHMI wears the dress of a jump suit. She is standing and
               reading from  a paper.The paper is her manifesto and reason
               to why she has to do what she is doing now.She starts reading
               and we can see the figure on its knees.

               LAKSHMI completes her speech and bends down and put her knife
               to the figure.

               Paramathma paramatha lo kalisipoyadu.

               Cut to black.



               EXT. LAKSHMI'S LIVING ROOM - EARLY MORNING

               LAKSHMI gets up from her sleep. The room is neat. The sun is
               rising and it is beautiful. Everything looks beautiful..and
               she walks out to her balcony.
               The sunlight gives yellow hue to every thing.People are back
               to their..doing whatever do everyday..school children goin to
               school....the birds chirping and a hint of hope that
               everything is ok.

                                   LAKSHMI
                         Life is beautiful.

               Camera dollies out to show as if it is the end of the movie
               with music which is usually plays at the end of the movie.
               Cut to black.

                                   THE END.

               WAIT..WAIT ..WAIT.



               EXT. HYD OUSKRITS - NIGHT.

               The night sky is still beautiful and the stars
               blinking.LAKSHMI wakes up from her dream.

               The happy thought has gone.She came to the real world.She has
               the look of the person who lost a billion rupee lottery by
               one number..

               She starts walking back in to the city...catches a bus and
               goes to her apartment.

               The time says 1:45 am.

               She comes back home and walks in to her apartment. Looks like
               people are having party in her apt.Lots Of them..but they
               dont look ordinary.There are swamijis all over...and saints
               and religious people.

               LAKSHMI walks to her apt as if it doesn't bother her.She
               thinks as usual, that is just her imagination.

               People starts moving towards her and one woman comes to her
               and hugs her..(she wears a white sarree like that hugging
               amma)..and a sense of relief comes to her...

                                   WHITE SARRY AMMA
                         How are you my friend. From now on
                         all you will find is happiness..all
                         your anxieties and worries will go
                         away.God wants to talk to
                         you...listen to him and submit to
                         him...decide yourself ...you want
                         to live in heaven or in
                         hell??..choice will be yours..

               LAKSHMI dosent know what to do ..she was led in to other room
               and god is standing at the window and looking at the sky.

                                   .

                                   LAKSHMI

                                   LAKSHMI
                         I am not weak.

                                   GODS
                         Yes ..you are..every one is.How
                         much more suffering can you
                         take?Courage is a relative term?
                         You will give up. You have to at
                         some point or the other.

                                   GODS (CONT'D)
                         You know why there is hell? hell is
                         for sinners.. and you know who a
                         sinner is? He is the one who
                         doesn't believe in me.

               A beat later

                                   GODS (CONT'D)
                         Welcome to hell..bitch.

               INT. LAKS APT - NIGHT.

               Lakshmi meets god.who is sitting and looking outside at the
               sky. They dont talk for some time..as if is definitely
               scared. God tells her a story.

                                   GOD.
                         Let me tell you a story.There lived
                         a king in far far away land. One
                         day he caught a notorious criminal
                         in his kingdom. He wants to punish
                         him very cruelly by killing him
                         cruelly.But the thief is not afraid
                         of pain or death.
                         The criminal meets a guard in the
                         prison and promises to give him
                         money if he helps him to
                         escape..The guard agrees and helps
                         him escape and takes him to
                         hideout. For many days they travel
                         faraway from the prison.The
                         criminal is happy now.The guard
                         takes him to a border and shows him
                         a door to the tunnel..which he says
                         is door to freedom...The criminal
                         is in bliss..He finally opens the
                         door..only to find the king and his
                         soldiers..and the guard starts
                         laughing with the king.

                                   LAKSHMI
                         Whats the meaning of the story?

                                   GOD.
                         what r u ...stupid?

                                   LAKSHMI
                         And you r the guard?

                                   GOD.
                         No. I am the king.

                                   LAKSHMI
                         So..what is this? This is the
                         meaning of life?

                                   GOD.
                         No. That is entertainment.
              

                                  The End.
