THE SPONSOR OF SMILE

Bhargav was walking on the isolated road of Jaipur at 11 PM when he watched a beggar girl crying for something. She told him a reason “Tomorrow is Holi & I don’t have any Pichkari to play with my fellow mates-but I know I am poor & I can’t play”.

Bhargav gave her 100 rupee note & became the ‘sponsor of smile’. This story is about Bhargav who is the son of the King of Ratlam(1915 AD). He leaves the palace every morning trying to find the grief & sorrow in his town & across country. He puts himself many a times in the troubles because of the fact that he was the only King’s heir.

The King- Prageshwar Maharana resists his son as he was an amateur of 11 & don’t know the politics of the country. He still does his sponsorship emotionally, financially & shared sentiments –fragments of it where required. Talks to the lonely woman , quarrels with the old man to cry him out of his past 5 year sadness of his son’s death

The Sponsor is a metaphor which promptly describes the senses & feelings of human beings which either comes out quite naturally or doesn’t even spits out artificially.

‘The Smiling Country’ was the ultimate moto of Bhargav after his father died due to an attack & he was announced the King – this ancient story is not about winning territories and invasion but spreading love, care & emotions. Everyone who participates in this campaign of smile is rewarded by the king.

HOPE-SABSE BADI TOPE

The episodes will have the motto “Buy hope & Get dreams Free” & “Timing is never right, time is right”.

Every story will be cycled to the co-incidental circumstances of human beings stuck in the daily problems. The characters will be designed/sketched considering the metaphysical theme in mind where an ideal invisible character (own conscience) inside him/her & it’s called as Magic lantern.

Every human being has that power to overcome the fear inside taking out the MAGIC LANTERN outside to lighten up their life. The struggle is mandatory for each & every living creature on earth. Man is tired of his commuter life of job-home-job, wife being just house wife-mother-grandmother, boy wants to be guitar player rather than a pilot, girl wants to go abroad for higher education; but it’s a matter of faith they got to keep on themselves.

The positive synopsis of every story will be focused on: Children education stress, Youth Depression, Money matters troubles, Emotional Solitude, Loneliness, Personality Disorders, Physically handicapped, etc. The Protagonist is the conscience (faith & hope) inside the victim but the antagonist will be the general issues (person, thing, materialistic) which creates a barrier for him to come out with flying colors

‘Dropping their Drawbacks’ they glow & grow with the situation fulfilling their dreams because it’s never about the destiny it’s about hope.

These short stories will be surrounded by the layer around the human: Selfishness, Mercy, Cunningness, Cult, Guilt, Faith, Hope, love, etc. So the ultimate ambition of them is just to behave accordingly & not to take any uncertain-unexpected steps but to grab the opportunity that comes at its specific right time.

Kyuki ‘hope hi he sabse badi tope’…..

GILLINDER

The Gujarati word ‘Gillinder’ simply means a young kid who is smart, wise, clever & cute enough to make other people fool & have fun for oneself, having the capacity & capability to perform any tough task given.

The story takes the first gear when his Father has left the home leaving him, his 2 brothers and his mother. Since he was 4, he began to take care of his family expenses by throwing newspaper, working in cycle store, selling cashew nuts & experiencing almost every profession in his village- Jetpur.

The race against life starts when he comes to know that his father had indebted money from the villagers & they will have to pay them all. Satish didn’t want to run though he was premature of 9; he could certainly understand the situation looking at his mother & two younger brothers.

The Gillinder justifies the title showing his immense effort in making the family stand up again after 25 years of the struggle.

Satish surprises his son (Ravi-9 years old) saying “I am going to tell you what your father used to do when he was 9 “.

The whole idea of this was to nurture his son with the Reality of life & to let him know all materialistic cum emotional things. Ravi is surprised after every experience he listens of his father being: most notorious unlike him, adventurous journey of education though studied till 4^th standard, worked hard like anything & much more.

Gillinder becomes nostalgic but looking at his present he forgets again he remembers that he had no childhood like normal children, didn’t have any demands to get fulfilled by anyone; as the ultimate aim was to earn 2 meals a day for 4 people.

This narration is about a Father to Son bonding making self-realization of unforgettable and unexpressed moments of Satish’s life.
