TWO FRIENDS, TELANG AND PHALKE: [[1]]
Telang:
Friend, I hear you dabble in photography. Where’s your camera?
Phalke:
The monkeys stole it from me.
Telang:
Have you traced them?
Phalke:
The investigation’s still on.
Telang:
Can I be of any assistance?
But in whichever age the picture comes to life, I must be given the credit for it.
What is photography?
Phalke:
Telang:
Like tombstones.
Telang:
Friend, these are my monkey friends. I’ve been talking to them about our friendship for many years.
But I wanted to give you a surprise before you all met.
This is my gift to you.
Telang takes a photograph of Phalke with the monkeys.
