**Title: "Jugaad ki Dukaan" (The Shop of Hacks)**

**Genre: Comedy/Sarcasm**

**Time Period: Early 2000s Bollywood Vibe**

**Setting: A small, bustling shop in a local market. The shopkeeper, *Raju*, is a quirky character who
claims to have solutions (or "jugaad") for every problem. Two customers, *Amit* and *Pooja*, walk
in, looking for a quick fix for their issues. The scene revolves around Raju's hilarious suggestions and
sarcastic comments, reflecting the essence of Bollywood humor from the 1995-2020 era.**

**Scene: Raju’s Jugaad Shop**

*(Raju is sitting on a chair, listening to an old radio that’s playing some classic Bollywood song. The
shop is cluttered with random items — from bicycle parts to kitchen utensils. He’s flipping through a
magazine that’s clearly several years old.)*

**Amit** *(enters, looking frustrated)*: Bhaiya, I need a solution, and I need it fast!

**Raju** *(without looking up)*: Bhai sahab, you’re in the right place. Jugaad ki Dukaan! Solution
before the problem even knocks on your door! Kya problem hai?

**Amit**: My phone charger stopped working. Ab kya karoon? New charger lene ka mann nahi hai!

**Raju** *(grins)*: Arre! Itna chhota problem? Mere paas special jugaad hai. *Pulls out a set of
rubber bands and tape*.

**Amit** *(confused)*: Rubber bands se phone charge hoga?

**Raju**: Bilkul! Phone charger ki cable toot gayi? No problem! Wrap some tape around it, put these
rubber bands for support, aur bas! Ek dum kaam chaloo!

**Amit**: Bhai, yeh kab tak chalega?

**Amit** *(sarcastically)*: Haan bhai, genius! Next time mobile shop wale ko bolunga ki aap se
jugaad sikha du. Chal, yeh le!

*(Amit takes the rubber bands and tape, obviously still unsure, but with no better option)*

**Pooja** *(enters, looking anxious)*: Bhaiya, mera scooter start nahi ho raha. Office ke liye late ho
rahi hoon!

**Raju** *(calmly)*: Madam, scooter chhodo. Aapka office bhi late chhod dega, lekin yeh jugaad ka
idea nahi! *laughs* Anyway, mere paas ek foolproof solution hai.

**Pooja**: Kya?

**Raju** *(brings out a hammer and a random small tool)*: Hammer therapy! Scooter start nahi ho
raha? Ek do zor ke thokar, engine jaag jaayega. Mechanical massage samjho!

**Pooja** *(shocked)*: What?! Hammer? Aise kaise thok do?

**Raju**: Madam, yeh India hai. Yahan chhoti chhoti problems kaam se nahi, emotion se solve hoti
hai. Ek pyar se ya ek zor se thok do, kuch na kuch toh zaroor hoga!

**Pooja** *(sarcastically)*: Wah bhai, mechanical engineer ban gaye ho kya?

**Raju**: *Engineer nahin, ‘Emotion-neer’! Ek baar try karo. Worst case, kuch aur bhi tut gaya toh
phir naye parts ka jugaad bhi hai mere paas! Ek full package deal.

**Pooja**: Acha bhaiya, mujhe ab samajh aaya, mere scooter ka engine se zyada aapke brain ko
thokar ki zaroorat hai!
**Raju** *(grinning proudly)*: Dekha? Mere jugaad ka asar! Log mere dimaag ke peeche hain, lekin
dimaag kabhi signal nahi todta.

**Amit**: Bro, tu kitna overconfident hai. Aisa confidence mujhe mere boss ke saamne mil jaye, toh
promotion pakki!

**Raju**: Arre bhai, confidence to waise hi free ka hai, use karo! Kya bhi na ho jaaye, kabhi bhi haath
se jaane nahi dena.

**Pooja** *(shaking her head)*: Maan gaye aapko, bhaiya! Aapke solutions aur ideas sab
'temporary' hain, lekin aapki bakwaas 'permanent' lagti hai!

**Raju** *(laughs)*: Arre, madam, bas meri jugaad wala dil mat todna. Baki sab temporary hai!

*(Both Amit and Pooja shake their heads, amused but somewhat satisfied. They exit the shop with
their 'jugaad' solutions, while Raju leans back and hums to the tune of an old Bollywood song.)*

**Scene ends with Raju’s voice-over**: "Yeh duniya temporary problems se bhari hui hai, lekin hum
jugaadu log hain, jo temporary solutions mein bhi zindagi ka maza dekh lete hain!"

### Scene: The Living Room (No props needed; the characters act as if sitting and standing around a
room.)

**(The family is sitting together, preparing for Tina's upcoming wedding. Papa is pretending to read a
magazine while Mummy is busy planning. Tina and Raj are arguing, as usual.)**

**Tina:**

*(sarcastically)*

"Raj, you haven’t done a single thing for my wedding! At least pretend to care about your own
sister!"

**Raj:**

*(leaning back, smugly)*

"Why should I care? I’m not the one getting married. I’m free, single, and very happy."

**Papa:**

*(looking up from the imaginary magazine)*

**Raj:**

*(mocking)*

"Mera time aayega? Papa, please, I’m enjoying life. Who needs all this shaadi-shaadi drama?"

**Mummy:**

*(dramatically)*

"Arre, Raj beta, don’t say that! Shaadi is a beautiful thing. Look at me and your Papa!"

**Tina:**

*(laughing)*

"Mummy, Papa still doesn’t remember your birthday. That’s not exactly #CoupleGoals."

**Papa:**

*(defensive)*

"Who needs birthdays? We’ve got anniversaries, festivals, and so many functions to remember. Why
do we need one more?"

**Mummy:**

*(fake crying)*

"Bas! No one appreciates me in this house! Raj doesn’t want to marry, Papa forgets everything…
where did I go wrong?"

**(Tina rolls her eyes while Raj shrugs. Just then, Rohan, Tina’s fiancé, walks in, waving.)**

**Rohan:**

"Hello, family! I’m here! What’s up?"

**Tina:**

*(teasing)*
"Rohan, what’s ‘up’ is that Raj refuses to help with the wedding preparations. Do something about
your future brother-in-law!"

**Rohan:**

*(confidently, to Raj)*

"Raj, bhai, why don’t you understand? Shaadi is the best! You get free food, gifts, and your wife will
even let you control the TV sometimes!"

**Raj:**

*(sarcastic)*

"Wow, that sounds amazing. Can’t wait to not control my own life."

**(They all laugh. Just then, Shweta, Raj’s girlfriend, arrives, rushing in with an air of excitement.)**

**Shweta:**

*(panting)*

"Sorry, I’m late! Traffic, as always!"

**Tina:**

*(playfully)*

"Shweta, you’re always late. Just like your future wedding with Raj!"

**Shweta:**

*(clueless)*

"Wedding? What wedding?"

**Raj:**

*(jumping in)*

"Exactly, Shweta! See, even you don’t know about it. No shaadi for me."

**Mummy:**

*(gasping dramatically)*
"Arre, but Shweta, you’ll look so beautiful in a bridal lehenga. Raj, you must marry her soon!"

**Shweta:**

*(still confused)*

"Wait, who said anything about marriage? I thought we were just getting pizza."

**Papa:**

*(seriously, misinterpreting)*

"Pizza?! No, no, beta, shaadi is like pizza delivery—sometimes it's late, but it must happen. And it
comes with extra cheese, if you're lucky!"

**Raj:**

*(laughing hard)*

"Papa! Shaadi and pizza? What next, comparing marriage to a Wi-Fi connection?"

**Papa:**

*(nodding)*

"Haan! The closer you are, the better the connection, and when you’re far away, there’s buffering!"

**Tina:**

*(groaning)*

"Please stop! I can’t take any more of Papa’s gyaan (wisdom) today!"

**Rohan:**

*(seriously)*

"But Papa is right. Shaadi is like Wi-Fi. Sometimes fast, sometimes slow, and if you don’t pay
attention, you get disconnected."

**(Everyone stares at him in disbelief.)**

**Tina:**

*(sarcastic)*
"Wow, Rohan, with deep thoughts like that, I’m definitely excited to marry you."

**Mummy:**

*(seriously, to Raj)*

"Raj beta, you should learn something from your sister and Rohan. They’re ready to commit!"

**Raj:**

*(teasing Shweta)*

"Ready to commit? Shweta can’t even commit to being on time."

**Shweta:**

*(mock defending herself)*

"Hey! I said I was sorry about the traffic!"

**Papa:**

*(trying to sound wise)*

"Time doesn’t wait for anyone, Shweta beta. And neither does marriage."

**Shweta:**

*(laughing)*

"Okay, okay! I’ll try to be more on time—for pizza and for shaadi."

**Mummy:**

*(clapping her hands excitedly)*

"There! Now, that’s settled. Raj, next year, it’ll be your wedding."

**Raj:**

*(mock horrified)*

"Next year?! Mummy, at least give me time to breathe!"

**Papa:**
*(smiling knowingly)*

"Breathe all you want, beta. Because after shaadi, it’s just going to be ‘Yes, dear.’"

**(Everyone laughs.)**

**Rohan:**

"Raj, don’t worry, after marriage, you’ll be fine. You’ll get used to saying ‘Yes’ to everything."

**Raj:**

"Yeah, right. First ‘yes,’ then ‘no internet connection.’ I’m telling you, shaadi is overrated."

**Tina:**

*(playfully hitting Raj on the shoulder)*

"Relax, Raj! If Rohan and I can survive this, so can you."

**Raj:**

*(grinning)*

"Okay, okay! Fine. But let me survive this pizza plan first."

*This short, light-hearted skit mixes typical Bollywood family banter with funny and relatable
moments about marriage. It focuses on lively dialogues and playful misunderstandings, making it
perfect for a stage performance without the need for props.*
Title: “Lift Mein Twist” (Twist in the Elevator)

Setting:
The entire scene takes place inside a small, imaginary elevator. The characters are strangers who
are stuck in the elevator, leading to humorous conversations.

Characters:

1. Ravi – A nervous office worker, always in a rush, easily flustered.

2. Priya – A sassy and confident young woman, impatient with others.

3. Mr. Bhalla – An elderly man, friendly but nosy, who loves talking.

4. Meera – A shy woman, new to the city, nervous about being in public places.

5. Rakesh – A young, hyperactive delivery boy, full of energy.

6. Sneha – A calm yoga instructor, trying to stay zen even in this stressful situation.

Scene: Elevator Stuck (No props needed)

(The elevator is stopped between floors. The six characters are inside. Some are panicking, some
are confused. They all look around at each other.)

Ravi:
(panicking, pressing buttons)
"Why isn’t this thing moving?! I’m going to be late for my meeting! Of all the days, this had to
happen today!"

Priya:
(sarcastic)
"Relax, mister. Unless your meeting is happening in this elevator, no point in panicking."

Mr. Bhalla:
(laughing)
"Beta, meetings come and go. But you don’t get to be stuck with such an interesting bunch of
strangers every day!"

Meera:
(nervously)
"Is... is this normal? Do elevators often get stuck like this?"

Sneha:
(calmly, in a yoga pose)
"It’s just the universe telling us to slow down and breathe. Deep breaths, everyone."

Rakesh:
(excitedly)
"Waah! First time I’m stuck in an elevator! Kya adventure hai! I feel like I’m in a movie."

Priya:
(rolling her eyes)
"Yeah, a horror movie where we never get out."
Ravi:
(anxiously)
"I don’t have time for a horror movie! My boss is going to kill me if I’m late again."

Mr. Bhalla:
(patting Ravi on the back)
"Arre, beta, take it easy. These bosses only bark. When you’re as old as I am, you realize none of
this really matters."

Sneha:
(nodding)
"Exactly. We must embrace the moment. This is a chance to connect with ourselves and with each
other."

Rakesh:
(grinning)
"Wow, didi, you’re very zen. I could use some of that. I’m always running around with deliveries.
Feels nice to be... you know, still for once."

Priya:
(sarcastically)
"Well, lucky you. Some of us don’t enjoy being ‘still.’"

Meera:
(hesitantly)
"I-I’m actually new in the city, and this is my worst fear. Getting stuck in strange places with...
strangers."

Rakesh:
(jokingly)
"Oh, don’t worry! We’re not that strange... well, maybe a little strange."

(Everyone laughs. The atmosphere begins to lighten up a bit.)

Ravi:
(relaxing slightly)
"Maybe you’re right. It’s not like my boss can fire me while I’m trapped in an elevator, right?"

Priya:
(smirking)
"He could try. Maybe he’ll call in through the speaker: ‘Ravi, you’re fired... AND you’re stuck!’"

Mr. Bhalla:
(laughing heartily)
"Ha! These youngsters. Always worried about their jobs. In my time, if you got stuck in an elevator,
the only thing you worried about was missing lunch!"

Rakesh:
(excitedly, looking around)
"Hey, maybe they’ll rescue us with food! Delivery boy stranded in a lift, demands pizza. It’ll be all
over the news!"
Meera:
(softly laughing)
"I hope it’s not the spicy kind... I can’t handle spicy food."

Sneha:
(calmly speaking to Meera)
"Don’t worry, Meera. Breathe in, breathe out. Think of a peaceful place."

Priya:
(mocking Sneha)
"Like a place where elevators don’t get stuck."

Mr. Bhalla:
(chuckling)
"I think this is good for us. In my 65 years of life, I’ve learned one thing – when life stops,
sometimes it’s because it wants you to take a pause."

Rakesh:
(enthusiastic)
"Or maybe it wants you to call the lift maintenance guy."

Ravi:
(pressing the emergency button again)
"I’ve already tried that. Nobody’s answering. It’s like they all went on a tea break."

Priya:
"Typical. Everything in this country runs on tea breaks."

Meera:
(nervously)
"What if we’re stuck here for hours? Days?"

Sneha:
(calmly)
"Don’t think like that. We’re safe, we have air, and we have each other."

Rakesh:
(grinning)
"Yeah! It’s like a reality show. ‘Bigg Elevator’ – six people, one lift, who will survive?!"

Priya:
(rolling her eyes again)
"Very original. I hope we get voted out soon."

Mr. Bhalla:
(jokingly)
"Don’t worry, Priya beta, I’ll vote you out first. You seem like the impatient one."

Priya:
(mockingly gasping)
"Uncle! I thought you were on my side."
Ravi:
(finally laughing along)
"Honestly, I’d vote myself out. I’ve already accepted that I’m not making it to my meeting."

Rakesh:
"Maybe this is a sign, bhaiya. Skip the meeting, skip the stress. Take a day off!"

Sneha:
(nodding)
"Yes, embrace the pause. Sometimes life forces us to slow down for a reason."

Meera:
(feeling better, smiles timidly)
"You know... maybe being stuck isn’t so bad after all. I haven’t been this relaxed since I moved
here."

Mr. Bhalla:
(grinning)
"There you go! Now you’re learning. Life is like this elevator – sometimes it gets stuck, but
eventually, it always starts moving again."

Priya:
(sarcastically)
"Unless the lift guy is on permanent tea break."

(They all laugh again, feeling lighter, despite being stuck in the elevator.)
