Motu, round and ever-hopeful, stretches and yawns, peering at the passing crowd.
Patlu, thin and bespectacled, adjusts his glasses and fidgets with a comic book.
"Patlu, my friend, do you ever wonder if our true love is just waiting around the corner?"
"Motu, you’ve been watching too many romantic movies. In Furfuri Nagar, the only things waiting around corners are chai stalls and trouble!"
Motu grins, his mustache twitching.
Patlu blinks in disbelief as the dream girls twirl past, their scarves trailing like ribbons.
"Patlu, look! They are so beautiful! I think I’m in love,"
"Motu, pinch me. Is this real? I’ve never seen them in Furfuri Nagar before,"
Motu slips spectacularly, spinning like a top before landing in a cart of tomatoes.
Patlu trips over his own shoelaces, tumbling head-first into a pile of straw.
"Wait for us! We just want to know your names!"
"Motu, next time, remind me to only fall for girls we can actually see,"
Chaiwala (Tea Vendor), burly and amused, clucks his tongue.
"If you two spent half as much energy working as you do dreaming, maybe you’d finally pay off your tea tab!"
Motu and Patlu exchange sheepish looks, wiping tomato pulp from their faces.
"Motu, maybe love isn’t about chasing after mysterious beauties. Maybe it’s about enjoying samosas with your best friend,"
"Patlu, you always know how to spoil my dramatic moments! But I suppose you’re right. As long as there are samosas—and you—I’m happy,"
"Next time, let’s dream about free samosas instead,"
"Patlu, do you see what I see?"
"Motu, I think it’s time we both wake up... or maybe just have another samosa,"
