The play opens with a long narrative by Mahipat, who gives a hilarious biographical sketch of his life. His only aim is to become an M.A.
Before Bidding Good Bye To this World. He Encounters Countless Classifying Rejection, Spends Some Time Indulges in an Analysis Spree Ultimately Starts His Study of Sifarishim (Nepotism), Which He Believe Is The Best Weapon Available today. He becomes a lecturer with Swargia Matajee Gaya Bai Sootram Kala Bigyan Nahavidhyalay, without any use of influence simply because he is the only candidate and the institution is located in a remote area.

With love, commeraderie and a bit of enterprise, humans can make even the life in hell much easy. It is the human quality, to survive & to rise, that keeps infusing optimism & hope into mankind, when everything precious and good seems to be collapsing & dying around us. This play attempts to catch this 'Never say die' spirit in human beings. It is something that never ceases to fascinate and inspire me as a playwright.
