lets go dutch

scene set in a restaurant .
camera from the entrance into the area of the restaurant.
we see tables and chairs laid out. ppl sitting across various tables and talking or eating or drinking.

we see the film going in fast forward mode from point 1 to point 3 in that order.no voice over
1. boy enters and sits at a table in the center which is empty .
2. the waiter comes and asks something and he says something and goes away
3. he is looking at his watch, drinking water, reading menu and phone all the time.[this should be a repetitive fast fwd action]

pause.

point 4 is in slow motion.. beautiful music .. no voice

4. she goes to the center table where the guy is waiting, smiles at him and asks him something .. he gets up.. she extends her hand and they sit across the table.

from point 5 again fast forward.

5. waiter comes,
6. they look at each, run through menus, laugh and say something
7. the waiter asks something
8 they say something
9 the waiter gets two cups of coffee
10 they are drinking coffee and talking. cofee cups are empty and they are still talking
11 the waiter comes again..asks something
12 they tell something
13 the waiter goes and gets the bill

end of fast forward .

we see and hear at normal frame rate.
the boy takes the bill before she can reach it. he looks at the amount .. and says .. " i got it", then he is trying to take out his wallet out of his pocket.

the girl says " Madhav please, lets go dutch, I insist"

the boy says " come on, its ok. next time we meet you can pay"

the girl says " thats not ok! next time I might want to go to HRC with you and get drunk on tequila shots. will it be fair then ?"

the boy says " wow you like the idea.. but HRC and tequilas in HRC will be really costly, we obviously will share it"

the girl says very seriously " So what if expensive? you think I cant pay the full amount ? do you think I cant afford "

the boy is taken aback. he says " i dint mean that .."

the girl says " then why would you say thats its obvious that we will share it"

the boy says " sorry. "

the girl says " its ok.. dont be.. i dint mean to hurt you. its much simpler to deal with if we go dutch for a few times. if we are sharing the bill equally i understand it as also treating the other person equally. it is acknowledging the fact that we dont know each other completely as of now and hence the objective way of treating him is my equal .

also as against to your alternate paying concept.. [stops and smiles] if i go dutch now, both of us can decide

if you would have paid and if we had gone to hrc, you would have the confusion there too right..?

being

the girl : tell me that you love me.

the boy: what ?

the girl: say " i love you"

the boy: i don't know if i love you, but i know that i love being with you. i say this because i haven't understood 'I' or 'You' completely, and so obviously i do not know if that 'I' loves 'You'.

But about 'being with you'- I love that absolutely in its fullest sense. being with you includes physically being with you, in you;), thinking about you, talking to you, listening to your stories, looking at you, helping you work, solving your problems, , eating your crappy food, ;) washing your hair, everything with you.

i love all kinds of ings with you ...:)darling..;)

the girl: arey baba.. dont start your metaphysics.. cant you say that you love our relationship.

the boy: yes yes yes, absolutely yes.. . you keep it so simple baby.. :).. hold on you are a genius actually, thanks to you i understood 'being' actually means 'being in a relation'.. didnt understand when sartre said that..

girl.: pls stopppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp

gods and demons have it easy

The gods and demons have it easy. Since the gods are gods, they are all good. since the demons are demons they are all bad.

The gods since they are good, know only to think and do good and only understand good. 100% good
The demons since they are bad, know only to think and do bad and only understand bad. 100% bad
In other words they have no confusion. There is no disturbance.

but human beings are good and bad.. at times they do good at times they do bad..
To add to the confusion they might think bad while doing good and they might think good while doing bad..

some of them make an effort to be good all the time like the gods, but since they have physical needs unlike gods they cannot be absolutely 100% good.

so he is always has a percentage of good and bad in him.. for him to not have confusion, for him to not have disturbance.. to have the same clarity of thought that gods or demons have, he should know the percentage of good and bad in him.. for that he has to look at himself all the time.

he can simply give it up and love or he can fight all his life growing and protecting it.. actually fighting aint a big deal.. its his primordial instinct to fight..continuously fighting against what is there.. changing the present.. again and again..

wars can be considered metaphors of this instinct. peace treaties only reduce the collateral damage in the aftermath. wars happen all the time.. somewhere ..

peace and love and war.. all are real.

adjectives can be used to describe beautiful women for one could be at a loss for words, in other contexts they create ambiguity.

wake up with the sun, not with the clock
wake up with the sun, not with the clock

set the sail, up the dock
while she goes grazing the flock

milk and fish for every bloke
healthy kids in every block

bed time with the moon, not with the clock

my big lady, in her little frock
all night long, raiding my book..

Gentleman's Game

Men have lives. Gentlemen have time in their lives. Gentlemen like to have a good game in the sun, with a lunch and tea in between. If the weather is not great they extend their breaks under the shade.

Gentlemen win , lose and sometimes draw games too. Gentlemen respect Gentlemen in the opposite team and respect their performance equally, by sharing a draw . A Gentleman's game has enough scope for every one to have a couple of good days during the 5 days. So if both teams have more than 2 great days they celebrate the draw at the end of the 5th day with a cheers.
