The swings in fate and cupid give ample opportunity to stage the drama. Love needs minimum two people. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn this play, there are two neighbours, two friends, beside two female love interests that embody fondness v\/s infatuation. These 'couples', set the ball rolling in two's for a compact cast to deliver the story from the eyes of Satbir's truth. There is no location context, Satbir could be the boy next door, caged by his solitude in any apartment around the world. The time, is somewhere in the 21st century when aeroplanes changed the way we saw the world and worked. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis is the author's first play, and his third work of fiction, (the first being Moh\u0026amp;Maya 2021; the second, Dev\u0026amp;Diya 2022, and the fourth works Bogey Bonhomie 2024.)
