In the play a playwrighter is shown engaged in the process of creating and writing a play. Though the play is written during the old popular Radio days but the director has set the production in the contemporary era of TV soaps where the writer has a commitment to provide the script in a given frame of time. By the time he reaches to a situation of putting down something on paper he is distracted by the visitors. The writer has tired to portray the fate of a creative person who is not being understood by the people living around him. Balwant Gargi being a writer himself has beautifully depicted life of a creator, his complexities and frustration. The play showcased the struggle of a creative person, the effort and the amount of energy he puts in creating a creative piece. Without realizing and acknowledging his creative tensions everyone visiting to him just load him with their own problems. In the end the writer while revealing his anguish says that there are many kinds of thefts and robberies but for a creative person his prime wealth is his/her time if the same is taken by the intruders to his creative domain, he/she losses everything. If someone takes your time he/she take that important portion of our life.
Pawan Verma made all sincere efforts in portraying the life a writer. The visitors to the writer included Rohit Verma (Ram Bhrose), Dimple Sharma (Manohar Lal ), Kamaljeet Kaur (Champa) and Gaurav Triyal (Purshotam).
