Bear family's dilemma


The story begins with Baba bear, mama bear, son bear along with neighbours and their children dancing away to glory at the birthday party of the son bear. Friends of the son bear wish him luck and happiness on his 15th birthday. Son bear’s Xth exams are just over few days back and his birthday has come.
After all the fantastic celebrations, the bear family retires to take rest. Mama bear and Baba bear cuddle up in bed and the light goes dim. Yet they are tensed and discuss about their son. He is done with his Xth exams and has to decide upon a career. Mama and Baba bear want him to choose science as a career and become a scientist or an engineer but they are sad as their son doesn’t show any interest in this field. On the other hand son bear is happily opening up his gifts and is delighted to have received so many marvellous ones.
Next morning when they discuss this over breakfast, son bear says that he wants to be an actor and doesn’t want to study science. When Baba and Mama bear get angry at him, son bear leaves the table and shuts his room loud enough for his neighbours to hear. Just then the telephone rings and when Baba bear picks up, a sweet lady voice says she wants to speak to the son bear. As son bear picks up the telephone from his room, Baba bear listens at the other end to the lady giving kisses and wishing son bear a very happy birthday and demanding for a special treat. Baba and mama bear feel hurt as son bear has been hiding about his girl friend.
As the story moves on there are revolts between son bear and parent bears over taking up science or acting. Son bear doesn’t fill up forms for science education and secretly applies to all acting schools. Parents bear blame the girl friend bear to be responsible for all this. As matters become worse, one day Baba bear suddenly gets a heart attack. Now son bear loves his Baba bear a lot and for his sake gets admission to a science college nearby his home. Son bear secretly prepares for getting an admission to acting school. He joins the science school and when it gets over he goes for a part time course to an acting school. After 2 years when the science course and acting course get over parallely, his parents come to know about it. Son bear manages to pass in his science education but is the topper in his acting school. Now Baba bear understands how much his son has sacrificed for his Dad’s health. The girl friend bear has revealed all this to the Baba and Mama bears. Finally the son gets an admission to the top acting school for a graduation degree where he excels and has offers to act in commercial advertisements after joining college. The story ends on a happy note giving the message to the audience to let their children do what they like because they will excel in that. As a saying goes, ‘There would have been no Sachin Tendulkar and Lata Mangeshkar if they had been forced to do something else.’

A TWIST WITH LOVE


A TWIST WITH LOVE
    
How is a life being single? You have no commitment, no one to answer to, no responsibility whatsoever. You may or may not care for yourself. But rarely do people realize it and then as the rule of life goes they strive for a girl friend or a boy friend to settle down in life and think that it is the best thing which could happen and yes having a girl friend or a boy friend would earn them prestige in the society. As per the pedagogy no one believes in loving one self and being blissful. Rather we look for a soul mate to love us.

The story revolves around the life of a guy and a girl who are neighbours but strangers to each other. They are independent individuals belonging to the office going crowd who live alone and are of course career oriented. Both of them are single initially.  As time passes by, chemistry starts between the two neighbours. As is the story of everyone else, the boy eyes the girl, marks her moves in her daily life and the girl one day finds it out. When the boy is caught red handed, the love chemistry starts with girl visiting the boys house and the vice versa. They become good friends and soon they fall in love. And this is how the love story begins. Like every couple, they paint the city red, they roam around places, share their feelings and minute details of happenings in everyday life. They live life to the fullest and finally they decide to get married. 

So on the D day, they get married in a temple and also have a registered marriage, and then they proceed to their new home. They plan everything out to be nothing but just the perfect. Initial days pass out very smooth and their love for each other becomes manifold.
Yet some times they fight with each other but let it go thinking fights are a part of every love life. Later they join back their work and are back to the hectic schedules. They start fighting over minute things. Number of fights increases every day and their life becomes miserable. The girl is frustrated with her job and she hates it. She vents up her frustration at home and the guy gives her back. Finally the girl quits her job. Also she thinks it can save her marriage by lessening the fights and then when things become normal in their love life, she can find a new job. However little does she realize that it doesn't help and she becomes so engrossed as a home maker that she postpones searching for a new job till a time unknown. With this they fight more and more. Both can’t tolerate each other but just live with each other. They feel that their love for each other is dead. It all ends with the guy slapping the girl and the girl doing the same. They get divorced. 

Both move back to their respective studio apartments and ignore each other despite of being neighbours again. Even if at instances the guy feels he misses the girl, ego overcomes his love and he lives with it. The girl searches for a new job now and gets it. They are back to their pre marriage stage of life. Now they say that they hate each other as much they loved each other earlier. Even if one comes in another’s way by chance, they completely pay no attention to it and continue their work as if they are not at all affected.

However, it actually affects them in some corner of their heart. Time passes by and somehow they again get attracted to each other as neighbours. It is rightly said ‘True love never dies’. They finally patch up and remarry.

So, the movie goes through the phases of bachelorhood, love, marriage, divorce, bachelorhood again followed by the same love and then marriage again. Our movie is a love story with a tinge of humour in it. So at the end when they remarry, we show that ‘Har saal mein ek divorce to banta hi hai’ i.e. One should get divorced in every year. This is on a humour note. What we want to say is that, because they got separated from each other and missed each other, their love increased which led to getting married again.

A morning


Good morning
As the sun rises through her bright orange and yellow striped curtains, she hesitantly wakes up to the new morning. She takes God's name, misses her family, her lover and her cuddly dog whom she loves the most. She decides to feel their warmth and shuts her eyes for some more minutes when she is suddenly disturbed by the strong bangs on her door. Irritated, she opens the door with sleepy eyes to find her angry friend with both hands at hip who is shouting at her to get up. She nods obediently and again goes back to sleep only to wake up by a fiercer and urgent bang by the same friend. This time she has no option, but to take her red bucket, sexy pink gown and rush to the common bathroom. To her disappointment, she finds all bathrooms filled and sadly places her bucket in front of one. After brushing and washing face, she is somewhat able to open her sleepy eyes. The same friend emerges from one of the bathrooms and keeps her bucket there. She smiles, takes her bath and goes back to her room. On her way, she carefully places her shiny red bucket exactly in front of her pink gown till she reaches her room in order to avoid the risk of wind unveiling her privacy. As she gets dressed, she has to keep changing from one outfit to another to find one which fits her. She gets frustrated as she just realizes that she has become even fatter. She curses herself for being fat. One more bang at the door by the same indispensable friend, makes her rush for breakfast where she carefully selects the healthiest food available out of a couple of oily, greasy and severely fattening foods. Happy about her healthy meal, she promises herself to work out daily. As she runs to class, she envies all slim girls on the way and makes up her mind to be one among them. She forgets the fact that this is the promise she makes to herself daily in the morning and forgets it by noon.
