हँसी के प्याले
Characters:
- Ramesh (40s): A quirky, slightly awkward man with a love for bad jokes.
- Sunita (40s): Ramesh’s wife, a patient and amused observer.
- Ravi (10): Ramesh and Sunita’s son, a playful child with a sharp wit.
Setting:
The living room of Ramesh and Sunita’s home. A comfortable, cluttered space filled with books, newspapers, and toys.
Scene 1:
(Ramesh is reading a newspaper, while Sunita is knitting. Ravi is playing with building blocks.)
Ramesh: (Loudly) Sunita, listen to this! What do you call a lazy kangaroo? A pouch potato!
(Sunita chuckles softly, shaking her head.)
Ravi: (Looking up from his blocks) Papa, that’s so old! You always tell that one.
Ramesh: (Feigning offense) Hey, it’s a classic! It never gets old. Like a good wine.
Sunita: (Smiling) Maybe you should try a new joke. Like, “Why did the bicycle fall over? Because it was two tired.”
Ramesh: (Scoffs) That’s not funny! And it’s not even a joke. It’s a pun. There’s a difference!
Ravi: (Grinning) There’s no difference, Papa. Both are funny.
(Ramesh looks at Ravi, then at Sunita. He sighs, defeated.)
Ramesh: Alright, alright. You win. But I still think my jokes are better.
(Ravi jumps off the sofa and runs to Ramesh.)
Ravi: Tell me another one, Papa! I’m in the mood for some laughter!
Ramesh: (With a flourish) Okay, listen closely. What do you call a cow with no legs? Ground beef!
(Ravi laughs out loud, clutching his stomach.)
Sunita: (Shaking her head, but smiling) Oh Ramesh, you’re such a kid.
Ramesh: (Smug) But I make you laugh, don’t I?
(Sunita smiles and kisses Ramesh on the cheek.)
Sunita: You do, you do.
(The scene fades out with laughter echoing through the room.)
Scene 2:
(The family is having dinner. Ramesh is trying to tell a joke while Ravi is busy with his food.)
Ramesh: (Clears his throat) What do you call a fish with no eyes? Fsh! Get it?
(Ravi stares at his plate, unmoved.)
Sunita: (Chuckles) Good one, Ramesh. Very funny.
Ramesh: (Looking disappointed) Ravi, you’re not even trying!
Ravi: (With his mouth full) Papa, that’s just a word! It’s not funny.
Ramesh: (Dejected) Fine, you’re right. Maybe I’m not as funny as I think.
(Sunita pats his hand reassuringly.)
Sunita: No, Ramesh, you are funny. Just in your own special way.
(Ramesh smiles at Sunita, feeling a little better.)
Ravi: (Looking up at Ramesh) I’ll give you a funny one. What do you call a joke that makes no sense? A nonsensical joke!
(Ramesh and Sunita burst into laughter. Ravi grins proudly.)
(The scene fades out as the family continues their meal, filled with laughter and good humour.)
