Sunil and Malti love each other. Neither would dream of cheating. A marriage of
choice, it is clear that the early years were very happy.
Now they have the unusual indicators of a good middle class life: double incom,
single kid, nice apartment, decent job, some good friends, washing machine,
desktop computer, car. But while there is comfort, after ten years the spark is
gone.
Something needs to be done. Sunil is not happy. He is going to die of boredom.
Life has become a chore. He tries to do his part but even making love to his
wife becomes a dreary duty, one best avoided. Knowing that this upsets her he
tries all kinds of tricks to ensure that the opportunity does not occur. Malti,
hurt, tries to talk to him, to be alluring, to negotiate, but to no avail. And
then it all changes. Suddenly Sunil is loving, he is no longer bored. Malti is
pleased until Sunil tells her of his new obsession. She is shocked. His plan is
unacceptable. She will bear no part in it. But Sunil cannot do this alone. He
cajoles, pleads, yell and finally tricks her into capitulation.
