Have you met Gudetama yet? He's the lazy egg. Say hello. He probably won't say anything back, he's lazy that way so I totally understand.

Pooja versus Sonakshi (bwhahahahahah) B. Character versus Society Ex. Pooja versus Middle class Morality (I am a heroine don't you know!) C. Character versus Nature Ex. Pooja versus Mumbai Rains (especially when she wears inappropriately expensive footwear to fieldwork) D.Character versus Self Ex. Pooja versus her pet demons. There you go.
