Scene writing - Confronting darkest fear in dream 


Character picturization- Protagonist Pihu goes into a guilt trip because of her guilty pleasure leading to a nightmare of the consequence of unveiling the truth .


Each one of us has certain bad habits. Sometimes we are aware of same yet unable to work on it. Pihu has guilty pleasure of making friendships to strangers just for time pass and fun. She hides this with her family and secretly indulges in guilty pleasure. 


That night before she sleeps her mom caresses her and says 'you are our pride and have always made us proud'.


She had built an image of being very naive and innocent. Yet her heart knew that she has dual personality. That night as she sleeps , the guilt creeps in .


After so many days she had not dared to chat with anyone this night since she wanted to give herself a break . However as it was her habit by now she couldn't sleep instantly..Then She starts to count the men in her mind she has chatted so far. She just had begun to count that she falls asleep . 


Her darkest fear of her deeds comes to life when she sees her dear ones have come to know about 'real her' through her leaked chats. She was red faced in shame and despair. There was no other villain in her life other than her own self. Her mother's words of Pihu being pride was shattered so badly. She felt she has been deceiving not just her family but also her own soul. 


The next morning was the best thing that happened. The night felt so long and tiresome. For someone who loves to sleep was so happy to finally understand that the dark night is over and new ray if hope has emerged. 


The very next day she says Sorry to her mother revealing everything that she has done so far. It was embarrassing that she was confronting her own vices . However to overcome any fear it's very important to accept it and move on .


Pihu still get the thoughts of indulging in bad things. But now after considering the consequences she has started to divert her mind into something productive. 


Choosing good or bad path is up to us. However we should be willing to face the consequence through our own experience. Here Pihu could foresee the end result in her dream and eventually changed her thought process. Only blessed one gets a chance of choice.
