A narrative on the female portrayal in Marathi theatre. It shows the desire of two different personalities in a middle class society. The narrative is absurd and surrealistic. Language is rich.

One of the best plays I have read. This book/play explores the mindset. How and why characters think in a way they are acting weirdly. I mean, I kept on thinking about mindset of such people when I read this one. It was brave of him to think ahead of the time. I really like the way he creates them. Satis alkelar's style is different. Whether its Mahanirvan, Micky ani memsaheb or begum barve, everytime you get something different. Things which we havent imagined, his books immersed you with the plot,you become the part of the plot (if you love thinking,imagining and if you have some inclination towards philosophy)

Overall its a fantastic book. Newbies with no experience should not read it. It will either ruin your excitement or you will feel it as abstract. Develop a reading habit then movie to this one to understand meaning of such books.
