Suresh: (Wiping sweat) Oh my god! Gunda, the "connectivity" to this village is terrible! Not a single Uber, no AC bus... this is literally a "dead zone."
Gunda: (Confused) ಏನ್ಲಾ ಸುರೇಶ, ಬಂದ ತಕ್ಷಣ ಯಾವುದೋ ‘ಡೆಡ್’ ಅಂತಿದೀಯಾ? ಯಾರಾದ್ರೂ ತೀರ್ಕೊಂಡ್ರಾ? (Hey Suresh, why are you saying ‘dead’ as soon as you arrived? Did someone pass away?)
Suresh: No, no! I mean signal... network! My 5G is showing ‘E’ here. Do you even have a "hotspot" in this house?
Gunda: (Proudly) ಹಾಟ್ಸ್ಪಾಟ್ ಯಾಕೆ ಇಲ್ಲ? ಅಡುಗೆ ಮನೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಒಲೆ ಉರಿತಿದೆ, ಅಲ್ಲಿಗೆ ಹೋಗಿ ಕುತ್ಕೋ, ಅದಕ್ಕಿಂತ ‘ಹಾಟ್’ ಜಾಗ ಬೇರೆ ಇಲ್ಲ! (Why wouldn't we have a hotspot?

Suresh: (Looking at the glass) Ajji, is this "organic" and "probiotic"? Also, do you have any "sugar-free" stevia?
Ajji: (Stares at him) ಏನಂದೆ? ಓರ್ಗಾನಿಕ್? ಸುರೇಶ, ಇದು ನಮ್ಮ ಗೌರಿ ಕೊಟ್ಟಿರೋ ಹಾಲು. ಇದು ‘ಶುಗರ್-ಫ್ರೀ’ ಅಲ್ಲ, ‘ಬುದ್ಧಿ-ಫ್ರೀ’ ಅನ್ಸುತ್ತೆ ನಿನಗೆ! ಸುಮ್ನೆ ಕುಡಿ! (What did you say? Organic? Suresh, this is milk from our cow Gauri. This isn't ‘sugar-free,’ it seems you are ‘brain-free’! Just drink!)
Suresh: (Takes a sip) Fine. Gunda, tell me, what’s the "itinerary" for today? Any "trending" spots to visit?
Gunda: ಟ್ರೆಂಡಿಂಗ್ ಅಂದ್ರೆ? ಆ ಕೆರೆ ಹತ್ರ ಹೋದ್ರೆ ಹಳೆ ಬಾರೆ ಹಣ್ಣಿನ ಮರವಿದೆ, ಅಲ್ಲಿ ಬೇಕಾದ್ರೆ ನೇತಾಡು, ಅದೇ ಟ್ರೆಂಡಿಂಗ್! (Trending? If you go near the lake, there’s an old berry tree, you can hang there if you want, that’s trending!) Scene 3: The Cow and the Cloud
(Suresh opens his laptop to work. A cow moos loudly in the background.) Suresh: Man, I need to upload this file to the "Cloud."
Gunda: (Looking at the sky) ಲೇ ಸುರೇಶ, ಆಕಾಶದಲ್ಲಿ ಮೋಡಾನೇ ಇಲ್ಲ, ಇನ್ನು ಎಲ್ಲಿ ಅಪ್ಲೋಡ್ ಮಾಡ್ತೀಯಾ? ಮಳೆ ಬಂದ ಮೇಲೆ ಮಾಡು! (Hey Suresh, there are no clouds in the sky, where will you upload it? Do it after it rains!)
Suresh: Not that cloud, Gunda! Virtual storage! Look, my "mouse" isn't working properly either.
Gunda: (Jumps up) ಎಲ್ಲಿ? ಇಲಿ ಎಲ್ಲಿ ಬಂತು? ಅಜ್ಜಿ, ಸುರೇಶನ ಬ್ಯಾಗ್ ಒಳಗೆ ಇಲಿ ಸೇರ್ಕೊಂಡಿದೆ ಅಂತ! (Where? Where did the mouse come from? Grandma, a mouse has entered Suresh’s bag!)
Ajji: (Coming with a broom) ಇಲಿ ಅಷ್ಟೇ ಅಲ್ಲ, ಇವನ ತಲೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಹುಳ ಕೂಡ ಸೇರ್ಕೊಂಡಿದೆ! (Not just a mouse, there are bugs in his head too!) Scene 4: The Climax (Suresh's phone rings. It’s his boss.) kannada comedy skit script pdf
Suresh: (Professional voice) Yes sir, I am on the "field." Checking the "ground reality." Yes, the "local resources" are very active.
Gunda: (Loudly) ಹೌದು ಸರ್! ಇಲ್ಲಿ ಸೆಗಣಿ ಬಳಿಯೋ ರಿಸೋರ್ಸ್ ತುಂಬಾ ಆಕ್ಟಿವ್ ಆಗಿದೆ! ಸುರೇಶನಿಗೆ ಒಂದು ಬುಟ್ಟಿ ಕೊಡ್ತೀನಿ! (Yes sir! The dung-cleaning resource is very active here! I’ll give Suresh a basket!)
Suresh: (Panic) No, sir! That’s just a... a "background notification"! I’ll "sync" with you later. (Hangs up) Gunda, you almost got me fired!
Ajji: ಸುರೇಶ, ಇಲ್ಲಿ ‘ಸಿಂಕ್’ ಇಲ್ಲ, ಆಚೆ ಹೋದ್ರೆ ದೊಡ್ಡ ‘ಹಳ್ಳ’ ಇದೆ, ಅಲ್ಲೇ ಹೋಗಿ ನಿನ್ನ ಫೋನು, ಲ್ಯಾಪ್ಟಾಪ್ ಎಲ್ಲಾ ಹಾಕಿದ್ರೆ ನಮಗೂ ನೆಮ್ಮದಿ, ನಿನಗೂ ನೆಮ್ಮದಿ! (Suresh, there’s no ‘sync’ here, but if you go outside there’s a big ‘ditch,’ throw your phone and laptop there, we’ll all have peace!)
(All laugh as Suresh looks defeatedly at his phone showing "No Service".) [Curtain Falls] Tips for Performing Kannada Skits
