Chapter 16: P

It had not been long ago that Pranshul's father won the case he was fighting. They decided to sell the property and move back to the city adjacent to the capital, where they were originally from.

Pranshul's mother and father were living together after almost Ten years. During this time, their perspectives and daily habits had become just as deep rooted as their will to change each other. In Pranshul's eyes, they both acted like kids at most times and he treated them with mostly reluctance and occasional sternness, like parents generally treat their kids. Pranshul still hadn't finished writing his novel and there was still no source of income for him. It made him stay in the house on most days. Due to this, he kept getting more and more involved in household chores and family politics which included mostly his mother's side of relatives.

Since childhood, he had met his father's side of relatives so many times that he could count it using just the fingers on One hand. But now he was more interested than ever to check out how the kids on that side behaved. The thought often crossed his mind that probably he should abandon the novel and get with the modern times. He imagined himself creating a Reality Show like The Kardashians. There was enough content in his family. He wouldn't have to imagine and write things. At least till the time his family was alive. And considering all of his family's traits that had taken deep roots in his own personality, all he needed was to make a family of his own and the content thus created would last for his lifetime.

"It would be called The Pranshul Show." he thought to himself. Even if nobody watched it, it would be worth watching it himself which he had been doing since the day he was born. The thought that followed was that everybody watches their life like a Twenty-Four by Seven, virtual Reality television Show since the day they are born. Different characters enter our life, our mother and father first, then siblings, relatives, friends, love interests, colleagues and so many acquaintances some of them who gain much more importance later in our life.

He immediately fell in love with the thought, abandoned the novel and logged onto the internet. He created an Instagram account and searched for the username 'thepranshulshow'. A green tick appeared, bringing a smile on his face. He began to think of all kinds of stuff he would be posting on that account and soon realised he would need to start recording his family drama immediately for practice. So, he sat on the internet and started searching for a second hand camera to buy with his limited savings.

Within a few days One of his friends, Ajay, picked up the body of a mirror-less camera from the characterless city along with a wide-angle lens and a camera bag from the city in the centre of the country and delivered it to him. That day, Pranshul went into his mother's room and started recording her while she was talking to her youngest sister, Komolika.

The conversation had Three basic elements. One; a Business idea for my aunt. Two; their brother's girlfriend. And, Three; me seeing their whole family as a source of content.
