The story is as follows

The movie Break ke Baad was boring, but everytime  Deepika Padukone talked to those poor kids lowering the windows of her Beetle , calling them by their names, I  felt awww….so sweet!!! Getting home, at a traffic intersection I saw some kids running towards my car.

Ok, the story is banal, cliched, bland and boring. But this is what I wrote.
