Mrigtrishna (Manto Ke Natak) at Akshara Theatre, Delhi

Mrigtrishna (Manto Ke Natak) 

EFT Report, New Delhi: Mrigtrishna consists of four different stories written by Saadat Hassan Manto.

Khudkusi

At times life seems too trivial, swarthy and blocked to be continued. Is life worthless to live without longs and fruitful desire or still magnificent with all its bloopers and lames. The Story starts with firm decision to make suicide by a young girl on death of her lover. But her decision is declined on her converse with Heer who tells her how futile is to make suicide in love. The writer mildly and briefly draws a satire on suicide committed by youth.

Uska Ramu

Love lies in heart so does this happens with Bina. Her desire to be in love makes a virtual love story where she finds her love in spite of all her shortcomings. Bina is the lover and beloved herself. Our definitions and understanding of terms are sometime somewhat queer, shallow and fashioned only. Does love mean to be admired, adored only. This story not only unfolds the virtuality of Binas love that one moments raises our sympathy for her on another simply conjures our smiles but poses the long lasting impression of human everlasting desire of being loved.

Beemar

World is full of advices and advisors whether one wants or not. In spite of all our half knowledge we exchange our wisdom. This is what happens with ill humoured Kumar when he find himself utterly valurnerable among advices and advisiors who openheartedly throws their knowledge but lands no hands for comfort. Perhaps advices do not cost.

Hattak

THE story gives insight of pleasure world where hard lot Sugandhi who earns her livilihood by selling herself every night. Her quest for her love ends with her bogus costumers, who are even mean enough to take advantage of a prostitute. Do human beings really carry heart in their bosoms or grimly desires are the only reality. A woman selling her body is called a prostitute then what could be the term for traitors of love.
