The Lift:

NOM to anyone: Respect the world and its beliefs. 

Scene 1:

Location: Lift at the ground floor of a 30 storey building in some Indian metropolitan city:

A guy in his mid-twenties enters the lift. The door was just about to close-in when he sees a girl, in early twenties, rushing towards the lift wanting to come inside as well. His hands robotically presses the door-open button, (repeatedly inspite of knowing one press would do) and she enters in. His very action lets us know that the girl he paved the way for, should be considerably appealing.

She presses number 16 and he makes sure he presses something above that (and for the smartness sake, not 16 either) to have the crest time slice with her. And the lift accelerates up. He silently wishes for some power-cut kinda scenario that he had seen in many south films, but knows none of those would happen in actual. He keeps his face stiff, but turns his eyeballs gently to have a glimpse of what she’s doing or looking at and to have a detailed look at what she’s wearing. She, on the other hand, sure shot knows he would be thinking about and espying her, but exerts her best to overlook him, paying him no mind as she paces up the chewing of the gum and synthetically rolls her fingers over her Smartphone screen. There arrives the 16th floor and she, steps out willingly ignoring him. He, in a tender tone audible only to his ears, says “kya maal thi yaar” and presses 7 to go back to where he actually wanted.

Scene 2:

Location: Lift at the ground floor of a 30 storey building in some US/UK city:

A guy in his mid-twenties enters the lift. The door was just about to close-in when he sees a girl (read a babe), in early twenties, rushing towards the lift wanting to come inside as well. His hands voluntarily presses the door-open button and she enters in.

She presses number 16 and he presses 7. And the lift accelerates up. He tells her that she’s looking gorgeous and sexy. With a cheeky smile she says, thank you :). He suddenly remembers that one of his ex-girlfriends looked as pretty and curvy as this lady ,still he could not stick on. On the other bank, she is fed up of listening to comments like the one he just poured and intelligently ignores it smiling and thanking, remembering all her ex-boyfriends who used the same sentence in their first meet, had a short term relationship that ended either because she got a better guy or her guy got a better chick. There comes the 7th floor where he alights. She somewhat feels relieved now, and comes out from the flashback of all her previous affairs which had their roots in some situation very akin to this one. And she exits at 16.

Scene 3:

Location: Lift at the ground floor of a 30 storey building in some Brazilian/Argentine city:

A guy in his mid-twenties enters the lift. The door was just about to close-in when he sees a girl (read a babe again), in early twenties, rushing towards the lift wanting to come inside as well. He lazily presses the open-door button and she enters.

She presses 16 and he, 7. She is in looking super hot in her jeans and he is looking like a typical Latino model sporting a translucent white shirt through which his 6 pack abs shine evidently. Inspite of these, no one bothers about the other over their journey in the lift, not even do they notice what the other person is wearing. He alights at 7 and she, at 16. They both acted like two independent entities having their own world of ideas and motives. Because while she was a lesbian, him a gay!!!
