KARTIK'S BEDROOM - MORNING

The sun's gentle rays filter through the sheer curtains, casting a warm glow on Kartik's simple and neatly arranged bedroom.
Kartik, dressed in comfortable pajamas, slowly opens his eyes and stretches, greeting the new day.

Kartik (whispering to himself)
Another day filled with possibilities.

He rises from the bed and makes his way downstairs, a smile forming on his lips as he anticipates the morning ritual with his parents.

Kartik enters the cozy living room, where his parents, Swarna Goenka and Manish Goenka, are already waiting. Swarna, an elegant and nurturing woman, sits on the couch while Manish, a warm and caring father, stands by the large windows.

Swarna (with a loving smile)
Good morning, my dear. Did you sleep well?

Kartik (grinning)
Morning, Mom. Yes, I had a restful sleep. Ready to embrace the day!

Manish (teasingly)
Ah, the early bird finally joins us. We were wondering if you'd ever wake up!

Kartik chuckles and playfully rolls his eyes.

Kartik
You know me, Dad. I love to savor those extra few minutes in bed.

Swarna (affectionately)
We understand, my son. Now, tell us, where were you last night? We were a bit worried.

Kartik (gently)
Don't worry, Mom. Veer and I came across an injured dog on the road. We took it to the animal hospital to get help. It needed us, so we couldn't just leave it there.

Swarna and Manish exchange a proud glance, their love for their son evident.

Swarna (teary-eyed)
Kartik, your compassion and kindness continue to astound us. You have such a beautiful heart.

Manish (nodding)
Indeed. We're blessed to have a son like you. Always thinking of others.

Kartik walks over to his parents, wrapping his arms around them in a warm embrace. The three share a genuine moment of love and connection.

Kartik (gratefully)
I owe it all to both of you. You've taught me the importance of empathy and caring for those in need. I'm proud to be your son.

Swarna (tearfully)
And we're proud to have you as our son, Kartik.

KARTIK'S OFFICE - MORNING

Kartik steps into his well-appointed office, the walls adorned with achievements and framed photographs. The employees go about their work, their faces filled with anticipation and excitement. As Kartik walks through the room, a buzz of admiration and congratulations fills the air.

Employee 1 (enthusiastically)
Hey, Kartik, congratulations on the feature in "Success Spotlight" magazine! You're the talk of the office!

Kartik (grinning)
Thank you, everyone! It's an honor to be recognized.

Employee 2 (excitedly)
We always knew you were destined for great things, Kartik. Your hard work and dedication are truly inspiring.

Kartik humbly acknowledges the compliments, his eyes shining with gratitude.

Kartik makes his way to the office lounge, where employees have gathered to celebrate his achievement. The room is adorned with decorations, and a large screen displays the magazine cover with Kartik's photograph.
