The Blog Strikes Back (The pubbing we did yesterday part 2)

Act 1 Scene 1

The Scene is a busy Junction in Mumbai. In the background is the Rythym House one of Mumbai's well known landmarks. Two men are standing on the pavement talking to a girl. All three of them are reasonably well dressed. They look like they are waiting for someone. Its late in the evening about an hour after sunset. Most of the light is from street signs and lamposts.

Ruchika (the lady) : So krishna what are your plans.
Krishna (the fat guy): Parate and me are going pubbing. What about you.
Ruchika : Oh I am waiting for Vidhu a friend of mine
Krishna : Ok. Do you know of any good pubs/bars around here.
Ruchika : Yeah sports bar is here.
Krishna : Oye parate what shall we do.
Parate (the fatter guy): Lets just go to a pub and grab a couple of drinks and then some food.
Krishna: Lets wait till Vidhu gets here and then we can go to sports bar and Ruchika can chill out with that dude.
Parate: Okay, so hows the project going
Krishna: This blog is getting really boring.
Parate: Oye we are not in a blog. This is last thursday and its about how we go to a pub in bandra.
Krishna: But that wasnt all that much fun, right? so lets just keep it for the next episode of the blog.

Some dreamy music is played and the scene slowly changes. The background and set is still the same but now krishna is the only person on stage. The lighting is in such a way that Krishna's two shadows are clearly seen in the background. Krishna turns his back to the audience and begins his monlogue facing his shadows.

Krishna : So who are you guys. I havent meet you before.
Deep Voices : We are your alter egos.
Krishna : But isnt this the realy world?
Deep Voices : No its a blog. And in a blog there are always alter egos.
Krishna : There is no spoon. Thats why you cant bend it.
Deep Voices : (Hahaha, laughter) Dont try that logic on us. We invented it.
Krishna : But if you are my alter ego's then i must have me you before.
Deep Voice 1 : I am arthur miller. One of your alter egos. And it is actually me that is writing this blog in drama format.
Krishna : And what about the rest
Deep Voice 2 : I am Joe DeMaggio. (chuckles)
Krishna : What kind of stupid joke is that. OK so where's marilyn.
Deep Voice 2 : hehe , I am not really Joe , just pulling your leg. I am actually Grihastha, the householder stereotype. It is because of me that you are so happy spending money and want to earn more so that you have more to spend.
Krishna : I think thats enough for one blog dont you think? Since it should have been about parate we should ask him first.
