MADHU, a 25 year old woman is moping in the adjoining living room. Veer looks at his mother. Suddenly he hears a sound of a door and looks towards that direction.

He notices from a distance that TARA’s mother is keeping her jewelry.

INT. TARA’S BEDROOM - AFTERNOON

RAJNI (age 35) is putting her jewelry in a wooden box and keeping it in the cupboard. Rajani's 15 year old daughter TARA is standing there and helping her by opening the door of the cupboard. The door of the room is open.

Veer is looking at them standing at the door of the bedroom. He is observing what are they doing.

He thinks about something. He writes something on a paper and he brings a glass of water from the kitchen. He walks into TARA’s room with a paper in one hand and a glass in the other hand.

INT. BEDROOM - AFTERNOON

Veer gives that paper and glass to Tara. She reads what is written inside that paper. Tara reads it aloud.

TARA:

TARA didi! please keep this

Glass full of water safely in the cupboard too

TARA looks at him with a surprise and asks,

TARA:

VEER! Why do you want me to keep

this water into Cupboard?

VEER starts communicating with hand gestures and Tara tries to understand. Tara speaks aloud as she understands.

TARA:

In book…. Written…. Save water.

…… it's precious.

Veer nods. TARA chuckles at Veer and says.

TARA:

Oh,Dear VEER! This is not how we are going to save water. You said it right… water is a precious resource for us.

But due to climate change, there are unexpected changes in the weather. Floods and droughts have also increased. In such a situation, due to lack of better conservation and management of water, water is becoming scarce for many people.Visuals of flood, drought, and running rainwater into drains,lots of people are standing and quarreling in long queues with their empty pots for water and visuals of dying animals.

Yes…CLIMATE CHANGE IS REAL!.

VEER, RAJNI, AND MADHU nod in agreement and seem a little bit worried. TARA notices that and says,

TARA (Breaking the third wall)

But we need to care. We can mitigate the effects of climate change and conserve water. Our small efforts can bring a substantial change. Let us see how.
