The Parable of Train Scene: A dimly lit train compartment with no windows or doors. The rhythmic sound of the train moving echoes through the walls. Javaid Akhtar and Mufti Javaid wake up, bewildered and confused. Mufti Javaid : (rubbing his eyes) Where… where are we? Javaid Akhtar : (stretching) On a train. Enjoy the ride. Mufti Javaid : A train? But… I was sleeping in my house. How did we get here? Javaid Akhtar : Don't ask. Just relax. Mufti Javaid : (getting anxious) What do you mean, "don't ask"? Who put us here? Javaid Akhtar : (shrugging) Nobody. We sleepwalked here ourselves. Mufti Javaid : (looking around) There are no windows… no doors. We can’t see anything outside. Where is this train going? Javaid Akhtar : (smiling) Nowhere. We only think it’s moving. But actually, it's not going anywhere. Use your common sense, dude. Mufti Javaid: (frustrated) That makes no sense...
