(There is a phone ringing noise and the girl walks out before matters become more worse) guy:jaaa k phone utha le....tera melodrama dekha bhi nhi jata...and u make me the bad guy.

(mummerin to himself) : kya yaar...subha subha mood off... i need to go to someplace quieter otherwise i wont be able to enjoy my newspaper

guy to girl: dont wait up...ill be gone for a while

and the guy goes out to do his THING (jogging most preferably...and reading his newspaper in a quiet enviornment)

scene 2: The guy is cursing all the way when he sees a beggar approaching him (.........cursing dialogue......) flyer guy#1: hello there mister, what a lovely day....i am from __________ foundation and i request you to plz donate some money, as my brother sitting over there is blind. guy grumpy : kisi aur ka kaatiyo....i know that u only are using this as an excuse to extort money out of me. FG#1: no sir...its for real if u will follow me ill introduce u to the guy guy:arrey ja yaar.....kisi ko bhi tu chasma pehnake agar andha banade toh mai maan jaonga

(the guy now with an evil grin)

yeh le mai andhe ki acting kerta hoon....(apes a blind person)

FG#1: sir agar aap nhi dena chahte toh mat do , kam se kam mazaak toh na udaa....its not cool...bhagwaan sun rahe hai...kahin woh

guy(interruptin n now roaring):kahin woh kya....yeh na kisi aur pe try kariyo...tujhe pata nhi mai kaun hoon. the flyer guy is shocked by his rude behaviour and wanders off the street.

the guy to himself:pata nhi duniya ki kya pareshaani hai...the world needs less of the people who act such needy when all they do in this world is to cling on others for their livelihood ,such gold diggers, i wish the world was a reflection of me

as he continues to do his morning jog.

he bumps into a person(who seems to be having some issues..and that can be clearly seen through the way he walks and gibbers like a mad man ) guy: oye araam se.! but the stranger is in a world of his own this makes the guy all the more angry

guy:whats wrong with you...aankhe hai ya button stranger(not replying is in a world of his own)

guy:oh hero ab murti ki tarah khade hi hoga ya kuch bolega hi bhi..

stranger now realising his doings says he is sorry though still being consciously someplace else stranger:ss-s-s-orry guy: can't hear u dude.... stranger :sorry mister( n by mistake he knocks of his newspaper) guy now erupting like a volcano gives the person a hardtime

guy: teri pareshaani kya hai...tere jaise dharti pe bhojo ki yaha zaroorat ni h..tu jaa uss building par..aur kud ja wahan se..tum jaise zindagi se hare hue logo k liye...

this all kind of shit talks..makes the stranger even more depressed..... and he continues towards his way.

guy to himself: what a loser.... whats wrong with these people...i am surrounded with morons... (starts jogging again..not satisfied with the bashing he has given to this person he turns back to give him some more hard time.......but then the strangr is no where to be seen)

suddenly a car appears and this guy gets hit by it

*black out*

ACT II

opens eye slowly....he sees he is back in his bed.. guy:was i hit by a.........no it was a dream........... a rather vivid one.

guy rises up from the bed

but sees that though he being in his own room something is amiss....he sees he is wearing black and the world around him has shades of black..... whats more puzzling is that he is not wearing his own black clothes.

this puzzeles him....not knowing whats up with the change...he walks towards the bathroom...n when he comes back..he calls out for his girl.n den he starts to come downstairs.

but she does not answer...he shouts loudly but no one answers though after sometime he hears her voice.....but it seems like she is talking to someone else .

Anger rushes in him as he doesnt know what is going on and he approaches the area with each passing step his speech converting into a roar

new guy: for the name of god....whats going on....who is downstairs......would somebody tell me anything ....i said...(dead silence) what he sees baffles him ...he is dumbfounded he is dead shocked to see the guy who he was listening to having a conversation with the girl is none other than..........he himself ( second camera shot from behind the person)

new guy: what is going on..? then he sees his whole fight with his girl frnd being played out before his eyes..which he had been a part of in the same mrng..(related to the food and his mother)..

.......am i dreaming.......

he is shocked to say the least he tries to interact with the surroundings but to no avail.... he tries to touch or interact..but couldn't guy: am i dreaming...whats haappening...something tells me this is not a dream....everything looks so......r-r-real

guy now annalising the situation tries to make sence of the situation

(ending dialogue of their last conversation of scene one .........where they both had a fight) ( this time he sees the girl is in tears while she walks away...) this makes the guy soften up and he approaches her

girl in the kitchen

picking up the phone . girl: yes..who's dere..? girl:(answering): oh..auntyji...no..aunty..he just left the home.. girl: yeah...he fought again with me.......(pause.)...but aap to jaante hi ho kyu.. girl: ni aunty..i can't leave him..especially now..when he needs me the most......haan we fight but this doesn't mean k i want to leave him...i want to make things work between us...i want to give him another chance.. . she expresses her unhappiness,but still wants to give it a try whatever they have . ..

guy tries to console her but he is only an audience in the play...he cant interact with her (he feels very guilty...of being so rude to her...without any reason..a tear falls from his eyes..when he sees d girl like dat..) . . . .. at that moment he finds the guy gone...he makes sense that the guy has gone for his morning jog

the scene continues with the grumpy 1 going out to do his thing the guy calls after him and follows him

scene 2 (reanctment) Flyer guy#1

from a distance the new guy sees the grumpy one creating a ruckus with the FG#1

and the FG#1 wanders off the street

the guy continues along the path but sees that the FG#1 is naturally saddened....the guy now begins to think that whatever the FG#1 was doing was not a play but all was real

he sees that FG#1 approaches another person

and he listens to his interaction with fg2. fg1: bhai ...nahi mila yaha par b.. fg2:(blinded 1): koi ni.....fir tu puchne to gya na..mere liye itna hi kaafi h.. fg1: fir b yaar..aise to ni ho payenge..tere ilaaj k liye paise ikathe. fg2: bhai dekho jo kismat me hoga..vo de dega bhagwaan..

he sees the pain and the sufferings of these people... softened by the new insight he has undergone through this enlightment . . the person has come to realize that it was him and not the world who should have a bashing and follows again towards the grumpy guys path..he used to think..dat all d people tries to fool him n take his money..

n den he chases..the grumpy one.. scene 3

now he sees the poor guy who got a taste of the grumpy guy's ass kicking

the guy now realizes that the person was not speaking anything as he was in morbid pain and through the guys walk and gibberish talking to himself .. . . . . dialogues about the guy talking to himself how a loser he has been and.......... . . .when the rude one left him

he comes to know that this poor chap was already thinking of ending his life and the grumpy guys attitude only aggravated his pain.....he sees that the poor soul is about to jump and the guy cannot do anything for saving the guy..he shouts..he calls...he tries to stop..but all in vain....

guy:no...no...no...no...dont do it....dont do it...i am sorry everybody deserves a second chance.....please...no

the poor chap jumps ....

the guy starts crying and reflects into his ill doings....he talks to himself...while crying out loud..n curses himself that he could hav saved dat poor chap life...but due to his rude behaviour couldnt understand the pain of the poor soul . i am the one....its all on me...it has always been me... . . . . dialogues about he being a jerk and requesting god to give him another chance guy: plz god....i hav realizd d value of life..and realtions...plz give me just 1 chance....i won't disappoint u at all....(he is crying his heart out..) . .and ten... . *horn blaring* the guy sees that his grumpy self is about to get hit by the car and with one fast leap...he rushes towards his old version..to save his life.. he pushes the person from his path and collides instead..........

****black out*****

ACT III

he wakes up with the sudden realization he is infact hit by the car....and makes sense of the situation that he was only imagining things... he is elated though being hurt and gibbers and thanks the almighty for saving him

the guy still thinks the imagination to be somewhat real and promisses to make amends he thanks the god for giving him this

wake up call

scene1:

car opens the driver approaches... driver(emotionless):are you alright...?? guy:never been better driver:you look like a mess ill take you to someplace better.. guy thinks of that all the things are gods signals that he should make amends and something tells him he should shower upon the driver his new found love for everything humanely and appreciates the person for the help

going inside the car

(audience view: though the guy comes to believe that everything is alright...the audience see that something is fishy...the road for one is empty which was not the case when the guy was hit....moreover everything is black ...the car is also black when looked up closely...at this point the audience is puzzeled)

the driver helping him into the car

the guy is still elated but finds no seat belt in the car

guy:where is the seat belt

driver (for the first time showing a smirk and some emotions): believe me where we are going you dont need any

driver switches the car stereo and the song being played is *****HIGHWAY TO HELL****

we see that the car(whose number is 666(the number of the devil) is slowly vanishing from the scene (as the camera is stationary while the car is moving ahead in the mist)

fade off ******THE END*******

FUN FACT

the title also changes as after the fade off the title again is shown but there is an addition of 4 more words before the title

DONT WAIT FOR A ...... WAKE UP CALL..

slowly fades off again
