The play Mind Games unveils a very common, unconscious and continuous practice of all human beings, Chatting with Mind and creating baseless abstract stories all the times, which give rise to thoughts which when nurtured become attitude and eventually shape our behavior and personality causing success or failure. The play revolves around a character Ajeet, who represents the mind model of a contemporary man whose rejections, anxiety, likes, dislikes, passions, reasons, fears, emotions, fantasies, dreams, etc. have a lot to share with all of us. The absurd thoughts which he develops create humor but unknowingly we are laughing at our own habits and shortsightedness while laughing at him. The three personalities; what we are, what we think we are and what we think we should be are revealed in the play.
