Synopsis
The play revolves around three roommates who address each other by names they have invented on the basis of their individual personalities. There is the uncouth and aggressive ‘Chaku’ (Knife), who believes he has found true love. He brings home the woman he would like to marry, to meet his friends ‘Pustak’ (Book) who like his name goes by the book and ‘Makad’ (Monkey), a television journalist who will move heaven and earth to find news. The lady herself is unabashed about changing her mind when it suits her. With no accountability to an erasable past she aptly renames herself ‘Pencil’. The narrative turns witty as ‘Pustak’ and ‘Chaku’ try to woo Pencil as ‘Makad’ eggs both on. Their duel goes on in parallel to the election news on TV. The two men vie for the lady’s favours just as the opposing candidates vie for public support.
