sits on the porch in her rocking chair, sipping chai and watching the evening sky. Suddenly, loud music blasts from next door, rattling her windows
ARRE MOHAN!! jumps up, spilling chai on her saree Look what you've done! My new saree — all chai on it! And this was gifted by my sister from Jaipur!
stomps to the fence, waving her hand accusingly
Every single day! Your loud music! Your noise! Last week your racket broke my rose pot, and the week before that you nearly damaged my tulsi plant! Do you know how sacred that tulsi plant is?!
adjusts glasses sternly, pointing at him
Come here right now, beta. Don't you dare ignore me. I am calling your mother Priya this time. Enough is enough! What if that noise had disturbed Premiji's afternoon nap? What if it had woken the whole neighborhood?
crosses arms, waiting impatiently
Well? What do you have to say for yourself? And don't give me that innocent face — I heard everything!
