Dayashankar Ki Diary

Dayashankar is alone. In his world, fantasies and realities merge till 
the point they become inseperable. Freud pointed out that a man lives 
as much inside his mind as outside. But what happens to a man who cannot 
distinguish between the two?

“Dayashankar Ki Diary” is in the form of a dramatized memoir of an 
unsuccessful man. A typical small town man who comes to the city with 
dreams of getting into films. Instead he lands up on a clerical job and is 
unable to reconcile with the drab realities of his existence. Bertolt 
Brecht said, “Giving somebody a job for a small salary is same as 
condemning him to life imprisonment”. Dayashankar is overwhelmed with a sense 
of rejection and humiliation. In his small dirty room, which he shares 
with another man, Dayashankar spins a fine cocoon of fantasies to 
shield himself from the reality. He spins and spins this web in which he 
himself ultimately gets entangled and looses control.

Is Dayashankar really mad? Why do we find ourselves relating to this 
character? Do we also not live in our own fantasies to protect ourselves 
from our failures? And what happens to a person who is not able to 
reconcile with those failures.

The play throws up such intriguing questions and most importantly 
provides an insight into the fantastic happenings of the human mind.
