And I kissed him in the middle of the street.. (Script)



Scene 1:
Ext/Day/A secluded road

Alan anxiously waits for Amy, sitting on a raised pavement, constantly checking his watch. (Mid Long shot: Alan looking down at his fingers with a worried expression / Background music)
(BG: He sits in front of a closed shutter near a Y junction adjacent to the road)

As a blurred silhouette approaches him, Alan takes out his mobile phone and dials Amy's number. (Close up)

Amy comes into view, walking towards Alan with a tear-stained face. (Shoulder shot of Amy)
Alan stands up, looking at Amy, who appears distressed. (Medium Long shot with music playing in the background) (BG: Junction in the background)

They walk together in silence. (Long shot)

Alan attempts to speak, but Amy starts talking. "My mom kept me awake all night, Alan. She asked me to choose between you and my parents." (Medium shot)

A worried expression crosses Alan's face as he wipes off a bead of sweat. (Medium Close up of Alan as he looks at Amy)

Amy glances at the road and says, "I told her I love you and that I can't let you go." (Pan left towards Alan Medium Shot)

"She was furious, Alan!" she says, a tear escaping her kohl embellished eyes.
(Alan wears a tortured expression) (Close ups of each)

"I tried to convince her, but she wouldn't budge. I asked her why, and she said it's because you're a North Indian, and I'm too young to be in love. We don't have jobs, and she's not sure if she can trust us." She sighs and looks at him.

His eyes convey his feelings to Amy, "I can't bear to lose you. Please don't break my heart like this." (Medium Long shot as they continue walking on the road. Zoom out to a long shot and then zoom back to Medium Long shot)

"But, Alan, I love you. I can't bear to lose you either. Let's just wait." And as she was leaving... (Middle of the street: Alan pulls her hand, she looks at him teary-eyed, and he lets go)

Amy looks around, finding the street empty. (BG: under a tree.) She approaches Alan (Medium shot) and kisses him on the lips. It's their first kiss. (Medium Long shot)

Alan is stunned. What just happened? We were on the verge of breaking up. Why did she kiss me? He looks at Amy, astonished and confused. (Medium Close up of Alan as he looks at Amy walking away / road / broad daylight)

"I'll never let go. I promise. I just can't. I love you too much." She turns back to look at Alan, who is still surprised, and she smiles. (Shoulder shot of Alan and Medium Long shot of both)

As he watches her walk away, he knows he must do everything in his power to win her over from her parents, with their permission. Determined to intertwine their lives, he walks in the other direction, this time, with a smile on his face.

Baby We're Addicted!

In the past few days, there have been numerous short films, debates, discussions, and videos highlighting our increasing dependency on technology. Whether it's the addiction to selfies, social networking sites, games, or news in general, technology has become an inseparable part of our lives. The ongoing debate questions whether we can survive without this technology and still consider ourselves developed or developing. EFLUites, the students and lecturers of EFL University, share their perspectives on the matter. Spandana, an EFLU student, observes people walking into her on campus, engrossed in their phones, and even her classmates browse their mobiles during class. She believes that we are becoming slaves to technology, which will have consequences in the near future. However, she acknowledges that technology is a boon for handling assignments and research, but emphasizes the importance of setting  limits. EFLU lecturers also share similar concerns, as technology has led to an...

Emo Poems from Childhood

I need you I need love in my heart My heart is lonely and alone My love is pure, so true My heart is vacant just for you I've been waiting for so long I kept singing this solitude song My heart keeps weeping then and now That I can never reach To your heart and your beautiful soul and then Your smile, your love, and your faith Can nothing be done to get things back I can't stay regretting all my life I need you to give me some space in your heart I need you to give me your love You always have all my true love But you never realized... What do I do to make you believe? My tears will tell you all that you need I'm in scarcity of tears to weep Without you, my heart is pounded deep I'm really tired of staying awake with you In my mind hurting every time There can be no other solution We've got to understand each other better and I need you to give me some space in your heart I need you to give me your love Can you forgive me for the whole thing in the past And start ov...

Onions are just the beginning

In the modern age, where progress and enlightenment are celebrated, it's disheartening to witness the persistent struggles faced by women. A recent incident on television, as I was channel surfing, left me questioning the plight of women in our society. I stumbled upon a scene of a saas (mother-in-law) berating her bahuraani (daughter-in-law) for a seemingly trivial act - adding onions to a curry. The young woman, in her delicate saree, wept profusely, her tears tarnishing the beauty of her jewel-studded attire. Why does such injustice persist? This portrayal on television, while seemingly dramatic, reflects the bitter reality of many women's lives. The issue of dowry, which may not have been about onions in this case, has been a longstanding menace. Mother-in-laws tormenting their son's wives is not an uncommon story. Countless women face abuse, both emotional and physical, when they fail to meet unreasonable dowry demands set by their husbands' families. Records illus...
