CHARACTER

(Bechain hokar, gusse mein)

Main aise nahi reh sakta! Nahi reh sakta main apne hi dimaag mein

Agar is dimaag se bahar nahi nikla na, toh sach mein pagal ho jaunga main

(Gusse mein apne baal nochte hue)

Mann karta hai kaanch kha loon! Haath aag mein daal doon aur jalte hue dekhta rahun

par phir bhi is dimaag se bahar nahi nikal paaunga!

(Pareshan hokar idhar-udhar dekhta hai)

Main kya karun? Kya karun main?

Main aankhein band nahi kar sakta, yaar!

Aankhein band karta hoon toh woh sab dikhne lagta hai…

(Awaaz dheemi, aankhon mein darr)

Main abhi bhi usi ghar mein hoon… mujhe laga tha main nikal aaya,

lekin nahi. Woh bhi wahin hai… main bhi wahin hoon.

Aur mera bachcha… jo pehle se hi theek nahi hai.

(Halki hansi, phir achanak gambhir)

Ab aur kya ho sakta hai mere saath? Batao, aur kya?

Lekin kuch toh hoga… kuch toh hone wala hai!

(Haath aage badhakar, jaise uske andar koi taakat ho)

Kabhi lagta hai, ek din haath aage karunga aur ismein se aag niklegi, bijli niklegi

aur hazaaron kilometre tak sab kuch jala degi

(Rukkar, toot-ti hui awaaz mein)

Itna sab mehsoos karna, itna dard mehsoos karna

 yeh normal nahi hai, yaar.

Acting hints

• Opening: Tez saansein, bechaini aur daba hua gussa. Aisa lage ki character khud se lad raha hai.
• “Main kya karun?” Is line ko do baar alag intensity mein bolo—pehli baar frustration, doosri baar helplessness.
• “Main abhi bhi usi ghar mein hoon” Awaaz dheemi karo; aankhon mein aisa darr lao jaise past saamne dikh raha ho.
• “Aur mera bachcha…” Yahan ek chhota pause lo. Dard ko gusse se alag dikhao.
• Ending: Awaaz dheemi aur thaki hui ho. Character ko sirf gusse mein nahi, balki apne emotions se dara hua dikhana hai.

Key acting point: Har dialogue chillana zaroori nahi hai. Bechaini, achanak khamoshi aur saanson ke beech ke pauses is monologue ko zyada powerful banayenge.
