S3E5: Maka
Is it part of being human to laugh at someone's misfortune; or, is it testimony of being not human? I don’t know what psychologists say. I am not sure if schadenfreude gives pleasure to everybody or not. However, it is definitely a pleasure for Laxmi, Neetu and Sabita, three friends. ‘Makaan Number 420’ is a story of an unfortunate home in Gali Guleiyan in Old Delhi that teaches us that you can always tell how smart people are by what they laugh at. It is also a satire on people who love to mould the situation in any case in their own favor. Witness the most repugnant form of cowardice and hypocrisy in this whimsical story.
