Ritwik: Are you going to lay in bed the rest of your life
Rad: Maybe! Get outta here!
Covers her head with a pillow
Mom: Ritu, leave her alone beta, let her mope!
Rit: She is a drama queen
Mom: Could be, but she is disappointed right now, so let her be
Rit: Isne kaha mere saath aaj Univ jaayegi, yahi padi rahegi to?
Rad: You are going to be in college the rest of your life you idiot, I cant go with you for ever
He throws a brass bird of sorts towards the bed, she hurls a cushion back at him, it lands on the picture on the wall and it swings from side to side
He flings a balled up scarf, she flings back a book with a growl
It lands on the coffee table and knocks a glass to the floor
Shattering it........
Their Mom is FURIOUS
Mom: Radhu, I want you out of the bed, to clean that mess and out of the house in 30 minutes
Rad: What if I dont? (challenging)
Her Mom walks up to her bed pulls the pillow from over her face, opens the windows letting the cold January air seep in and turns on the fan and leaves the room
Ritwik is rolling on the floor..........
R adhika: I am finding my own place soon
Mom: Pehle apne eyes test karwaana baad mein move kar lena
Radhika: Mujhe dikhta hai
Mom: Not for too long!
Gopi: Madam khaana ban gaya ab main jaaoon?
Rad: Mera nashta?
Mom: Khud banayegi woh Gopi aap jao
Radhika crawls out, readies herself, wears unseasonal clothing, a short purple dress with cap sleeves and knee length boots a turqoise scarf around her neck does not blend with anything
Ritwik: Its not Lakme Fashion week you twit
Radhika: Its Rad Fashion Lifetime! you moron
He follows her around the house pulling her hair, tightening her scarf around her neck like a noose.
Rad: Kill me, but the Nobel Peace Prize winner in the making will have died a premature death
Ritwik: My ass!
Mom: RITU!
Rad: Aahhhhhhhhhhhhhh Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa (pretends to choke)
Ritwik gets smacked
The phone rings multiple times neither answer it
Ritwik picks up the car keys
Rad is stuffing her face with a leftover parantha and gulps her steaming chai
Mom: EYES!
Rad: I have to meet friends at Taj Mansingh at 4 I need the car MA!
Mom: After u show ur eyes!
Radhika peers at the ornamental mirror in the living room, "This captures my mood, so I am OK" (They are puffy and sore)
Mom: To phir yahan aao, I can make u fully blind,
(Mom reaches for her)
Rad smiles, "MAAA" Kitne Baje?
Ma: Lawrence & Mayo Janpath at 3:30!!

Connaught Circus
Raghav is reading some journal sprawled on his couch, Nayana appriaches, he watches her legs and turns away
She sidles up to him on the couch
N: Did you miss me?
R smiles....
N: You did...
N: How come you only called twice
R flips thru the pages
Pushes his glasses on his bridge
N: I thot of a place we could go eat out tonite
R grunts softly
N: Fondue....... (softly feeling his sideburn)
R sucks his breath in, he wants to push her on the couch and let his instincts take over.......... he cant stand her demanding, cloyingly sweet ways but  she is OK for his system, he thinks derisively
N: But business first, eye appointment.... :3:30 Lawrence & Mayo Janpath!
R: Yep! (softly, extricating himself from her pliant body)
