Jammu, Oct 12: On the third day of the ongoing 15-days Rangleela Natya Utsav being organised by Lakshya-The Aim and powered by Nutan Pryaas Manch , Dhoon Ghati Theatre, Dehradun presented Badal Sircar's play Baaki Itehas today. A beautifully narrated story of man and mankind highlights how man in trying to give a meaning to his life tortures the rest of mankind. How man after reaching a standstill in his life, in search of a new goal in his life, intentionally or unintentionally, discovers means for the destruction of his own kind. Sitanath, a normal middle class man in his forties, commits suicide. Another middle class couple Sharad, a college lecturer, and Vasanti, a writer, ponder over the reason of Sitanath's suicide. Both of them are writing stories out of their imaginations. Finally Sitanath's ghost explains the reason to Sharad. He narrates the story of his life, which makes Sharad relate his own life with Sitanath's so much so that eventually he addresses Sitanath by his own name, Sharad. Sitanath accounts his life falling into a routine, becoming aimless which compelled him to commit suicide. He describes in making his life meaningful, what man has made of man. This made him commit suicide to prevent him for falling prey to the same. |
