lady around 60 – 65 sitting all alone. I asked
her, is she all by herslf. We started talking and after about 15 minutes, with an emptiness in her eyes, she said, “Honey,

with men after them.. very soon it will all go, she snapped her fingers, it happened with me, it will happen with them
too..

reassured her that she was still very beautiful & charming

Ok
Honey.. I am going to read out the monologue.. correct me where you feel I am off..
Quick to wed, quicker to split
Front-page story of a newspaper
There was a time… when people used to say marriages are
made in heaven
(satirical tone) But in today’s materialistic world...
hnnn.. hnnn...
Seems Indians too are bitten by the bug of the west
Probably the reason for 70% rise in the divorce rates in
India
It’s
ironical indeed.. the halo around the famed Indian marriage.. is slowly fading
away..
The
rituals are all the same, but the essence is gone..
The
meaning of Indian marriage was.. happily ever after..
But
today.. it is.. HAPPY.. till I find another..
Is
it an effect of the Y2K gen, the mantras they believe in.. particularly..
MARRIAGE MANTRA...
Montage as Shaili reads out Honey corrects her

Uma smiles and holds Honey’s hands. Honey gives a
reassuring smile to Uma.
They both kiss as the train arrives, as the train
door opens.. Uma goes inside.
As train leaves and Honey walks towards the camera..
a message comes on Honey’s mobile, as he exits frame.
Honey enters frame near Pedro statue.. as the
audience get to hear the text of the message in Honey’s VO.

Visual: After reading the message, Honey looks at
Pedro Statue with a neutral expression. Pedro Statue looks at Honey.. Honey
smiles.. as he dances.. kneels on ground and says.. please please please God..
