THE MALE VERSION OF ENGLISH VINGLISH –PART 2

THE MALE VERSION OF ENGLISH VINGLISH –PART 2

      Now to straight away arrive at the solution would be little less dramatic, so we will have to understand the Agony of Mr.Dad.
      Scene 1 is at the dinner table where the wife talks about her achievements at her place of work and the child (he just goes on and on) about his exploits in the English essay, the football field, the school canteen …….
       Mr.Dad is quiet, not because he has nothing to say (he has had a successful career of 15 years and can talk about a thing or two) because he wants to listen to two of his most favourite people on the planet, it gives him immense happiness that he is not an MCP and can take great pride in the success of his wife.
      However all work and no play (talk) makes Jack a dull boy, so what will our Jack do or say that will get him the bragging rights to be a part of this ALPHA club.
      Scene 2 takes us to the office of Mr.Dad, where he has his old colleagues talking about the CRICKET matches and the reality shows on TV, Mr.Dad thinks that this is really pedestrian and is looking for a greater meaning to life. He doesn’t smoke and drinks occasionally and hence is further alienated from the happening crowd and parties at office, so he goes back home and we get a repeat of Scene 1.
      This cant be dark and daring like AMERICAN BEAUTY, we have already ruled out the ROCK ON and CHAK DE influence, then what will it be………..the question on our minds is the question on Mr.Dad’s mind too………………….
      To be contd…..
