DHANTERAS 2023 SPECIAL:

INT. MODERN KITCHEN – EVENING

[The kitchen is awash with golden light, giving a cozy, festive vibe. SITA, late 20s, fitness enthusiast with a trendy apron, is bustling around the kitchen, arranging an array of quinoa products on the counter: quinoa flour, quinoa pasta, and a bowl of pearly quinoa seeds.]

SITA (to her VLOG CAMERA) Happy Dhanteras, fam! Today’s not just about gold and glitter, but health and prosperity. And I’ve got the real treasure right here – super grain of the future, quinoa!

[She winks and holds up a bag of quinoa.]

CUT TO:

EXT. HEALTH FOOD STORE – AFTERNOON (FLASHBACK)

[SITA, earlier in the day, is at the checkout counter with a basket full of quinoa products. The CASHIER, mid-20s, with a trendy haircut, scans the items.]

CASHIER Whoa, hosting a quinoa fest?

SITA (chuckles) You could say that. It’s Dhanteras, and what better way to celebrate than with the gold of grains?

CASHIER (plays along) So, no gold coins?

SITA (cheekily) These are my coins. Each grain a nugget of health!

[Both laugh. SITA waves goodbye with her quinoa bounty.]

CUT BACK TO:

INT. MODERN KITCHEN – EVENING

[SITA is now in front of the VLOG CAMERA, pouring quinoa flour into a mixing bowl.]

SITA Alrighty, we’re making quinoa pancakes. Rich, fluffy, and just divine!

[She adds water and begins to mix.]

SITA (CONT’D) (while mixing) Dhanteras is about wealth, and health is the new wealth, right? These pancakes? They’re like eating your investment, and it pays off with interest in flavor!

[She flips a pancake expertly.]

SITA (CONT’D) (almost whispering) Listen to that sizzle – that’s the sound of prosperity, my friends.

[The camera zooms in on the golden-brown pancake.]

SITA (CONT’D) (excitedly) We’re not stopping at pancakes. We’ve got quinoa pasta salad, and oh-my-goddess, quinoa chocolate chip cookies!

[She holds up a tray of cookies.]

SITA (CONT’D) (grinning) We’re making it rain quinoa gold in here!

[The doorbell RINGS.]

SITA (CONT’D) (surprised) And that’s our cue.

[She sets the cookies down and walks to the door.]

CUT TO:

INT. FRONT DOOR – CONTINUOUS

[SITA opens the door to find her FRIENDS, carrying gifts and looking festive.]

FRIEND #1 (excitedly) We heard there’s a quinoa jackpot here!

SITA (laughing) You bet! Let’s get this prosperity party started!

CUT TO:

INT. MODERN KITCHEN – LATER

[The kitchen is now bustling with FRIENDS, everyone laughing and helping themselves to the quinoa feast.]

SITA (raising her glass) Here’s to a Dhanteras where we invest in our health. May our lives be as rich and as golden as quinoa!

ALL (cheering) To health and quinoa!

[The CAMERA PANS OUT as everyone clinks glasses, the golden glow of the quinoa dishes mirroring the festive lights.]

FADE OUT.
