*Cafeteria C. There is no movement. Everyone are having lunch, no chaos.

One of the ilp 8th may associate will start banging fbe table and start chanting " JAAGO.... ", the
others will join.
Chorus : JAAGO RE JAAAGO RE!!!
Narrator(white) :Hey chorus! Look around... what do you see?
People? No. Shadows of people.
Breathing, walking... but dead inside.
Dead to empathy. Dead to conscience.
Dead... to what matters.Don't you think that they are burden to the society. They dont speak for
others even for themselves .Are these the values we look for...

Narraton (Black) : Values !! Ethics! Such fancy words! How do you think these are relevent to
the modern world? Would that help you paying your EMIS .Your gucci bags,prada glasses,louis
vuitton shoes ,expensive vacations Maldives, Las Vegas, Bangkok!

Narrator (White): And yet, when the world breaks you, when loss knocks, when truth calls,it
won't be Prada or Vegas that saves your soul ; It would be the values you forgot to pack.
Narrator(Black) : Soul won't pay rent.. Darling-status will.
"

Narrator (white) : Aur isi tarah...

Truth vs trend,
Principles vs profit,
Character vs credit score...Yeh contradiction to chalta hii rahega. Picturr to abhi baki hain mere
dost!

A corporate office. Chatur Lal(dishonest employee)is napping over a pile of files.

Tere liye laya hoon paison ka salaam!
Chatur : Sir yeh kya? Yeh toh lagta hai ghoos!
Mujhe toh lag raha hai... this is a trap no use!
Neta : Ghoos nahi bhai, isse kehte hain “emotional cooperation”!
Thoda cash, full dedication – kaam milega instant confirmation!
Chatur : Waise… promotion kab se hain pending …
Boss bhi notice karega, finally keh dega – ‘Mera banda hai trending!’

Chorus murmurs:
File 403 pending hai…
Chai break time hua kya…
Aaj toh attendance bhi lag gayi… wow.

Chorus Member (hope) : Ruk jaa bhai! Yeh toh hai crime,
Bribe ke chakkar mein barbaad hoga time!
Aaj tu lega, kal tujhe dena padega,
Aur ek din integrity ko farewell kehna padega!
Narrator(Black) : Ek bribe se chain toot jaati hai,
Imaandaari daily loot jaati hai!
Public ka bharosa gir jaata hai,
Phir system pura hil jaata hai!
Neta: Arre yaar, main toh sirf help kar raha tha,
Biryani bhi baanti tab hain... sab bhool gaye kya?
Chatur : Sir, ab main ‘No’ bolta hoon bold,
Imaandari mera hai gold!
Chorus : Na le bribe, na de bribe,
Warna life ban jaayegi like share subscribe !
Neta: Yeh public sab samajhdaar ho gayi hai re!
Chorus Member (hope):Integrity sirf ek word nahi hai…
Jab tak imaandaar log bolenge, system kabhi fail nahi hoga.
Chorus : Jaago re! Jaago re!

SCENE 3[RESPECT FOR INDIVIDUALS]

[A young man getting applauded. Loud whistles, clapping around him. Everyone are
congratulating him]
Suddenly a person appeared and whispered something. A low whispering begin.
Chorus : "He is so fake! ", " He only talks to seniors", "He is after men, you know! ", " Such a
weirdo! "
The young man starts to cripple and shrinks down.
One from the chorus breaks the queue, confronts him, supports him
Supporter Chorus : All it takes is only the sense of belonging. Some tiny words can make life
more liveable.
Narrator (white) : " That's it!! Pure dignity! Pure respect! "
Narrator(Black) : No.. Not at all!! I prefer backstabbing! Fun.. too much fun! Gossips make things
spicy.. Sweet and sour! You know!
Narrator (white) : Hey, what are you upto? You's sell your conscience for gossips!! Do you know
how it would impact the life of an innocent?
Narrator( black) : Aye! How does it matters! Promotion matters!! Appraisals matters!
SCENE 4[EXCELLENCE]

A girl dancing cheerfully. Chorus appreciating. Suddenly a person came and pushed her. She
fall on the ground. One by one approaches. --- a tcs employee approaches
Tcs Employee :
"TCS ke saath nayi udaan hai baaki,
Safar toh shuru hua hai, aasman hai baaki!"

Narrator (white) : Excellence is not just a medal. It's the meaning for life. It holds aspirations
,empathy.
Narrator(black) : Ugh! Another dreamer! Another sermon!Let’s see if your rhythm pays the rent
or clears your bills!
Hey… hey… where are you going?
Uff!
So, tell me, chorus...
Do you even know who I am?
Let me spell it out for you—
I’m the whisper behind every quick deal...
The smirk in every skipped queue.
Main hoon wo shortcut jo seedha success pe jaata hai.
I am greed, I am gain, I am the sugar-coated lie you’d rather hear.
And him? (gestures to White with mock pity)
He’s honesty... ethics... truth.
Sweet, silent, boring.
Still carrying values like they’re vintage wine.
Newsflash: no one's drinking that anymore!

Scene 5[Learning and sharing]

(Gabbar sitting on rock, typing on phone, Basanti enters dramatically with phone in hand,

Gabbar- Arey basanti tum yaha? Sardar khush huya!
Basanti-Aap mere ko ‘LOL’ ka reply kab bhejne wale ho? Abhi tak toh aap sirf ‘Ok’ bhejte ho…
So lame ya!”
Gabbar (confused but pretending cool): “Basanti! LOL toh main roj sochta hoon… par… woh
kya hota hai na… main thoda old-school hoon.”
Basanti (rolls eyes, does a hair flip):
“Arre Gabbar ji, ab toh TBH bhi nahi pata hoga aapko! BRB, GTG — sab seekho! Varna main

Maine inko sikhaya, inhone Gabbar ko… Ab Gabbar bhi Basanti se LOL BRB kar lega!”

Basanti (posing for selfie): “Aaj se Gabbar ji Gen Z certified! #LOL #ASAP #TBH”

Gabbar (dramatically):

“In logon ka jhamela to kabhi khatam nehi hone wala! To phir ap logon ko kya lagta hain!! Kaun

"TCS mein bhi yahi seekhte hain! Jo seekho woh share karo — tabhi toh sab aage badhenge!
......Aur ek baat yaad rakhiyegaa " Jo daarr gaya samjhooo woh maar gaya"
Narrator(white) : “I know its too much to grasp in a short span of 15 mins, but so many things is
happening around us. Nobody raises their voice, their conscience support the values but spine
refuses to enact. So chorus ‘bhabo bhaba practice koro’ , ‘Think, practice to think, socho,
Sochna zaroori hain!! Thank you lovely audience, oh sorry chorus!

*jaago reh chant by chorus*

Everyone bows in a same rhythm.

End of the act.
