II. Freytag’s Pyramid

Exposition: The main character just arrived in a hostel in Varanasi and received a message
from his boss to send him a high-res copy of the logo he designed for their VIP client.

Rising Action: Defying the call of his bladder, he went out with his laptop and scavenged the
maze-like lanes of the old city for a cafe that advertised free and reliable Wi-Fi. But, he had
completely forgotten his agenda as he was mesmerized by a green eyed beauty who borrowed
his laptop.

Climax: The woman who calls herself Faith invited the main character to the sunset cruise on
the Ganges and watch Ganga Aarti. Totally infatuated by the beauty, the main character
agreed. They had hopped in a cruise and the Hindu fire ritual that is done every day during
sunset, in honor of the Goddess Ganga was just about to start. He was fascinated by the
mystical affair and would have appreciated it if not for the sudden reminder of his far forgotten
bladder that it was just about ready to break loose and sabotage his impending romance.

Falling Action: The main character could not hold it any longer yet still wanting to impress Faith
who seemed lost in a trance, he still prayed to all the saints he knew, prayed to the Goddess
Ganga and even offered a prayer to Cupid. Wishing that Faith will notice his spirituality.

Resolution: A deafening thunder broke open the doors of the heavens and sent its sentinels
weeping out a torrent of monsoon rain that easily drenched all the pilgrims and the travelers and
all the priests and the beggars and all the kids and the lovers. The main character’s bladder
broke. A torrent of piss cascaded down his pants, all the way to his shoes. Afraid that Faith will
smell the pee in his pants, the main character jumped off the boat and into the holy river. Waded
in the greasy waters of the Ganges pretending to purify his soul, Faith stared at him with her
mouth wide open with her big green eyes full of love. That is what he chose to believe.
