The play 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 theme of the play ‘Mind Games’ is universal yet unique. It does not reflect the story of one particular character or situation but showcases the instinctive behavior of all human beings. Sumeet Sharma played the central character of the play ‘Ajeet’ with professional ease, he lived his character so vividly that audience could feel its credibility and sensibility throughout the play. Gaurav Jamwal as ‘Krish’ was also very impressive with his balanced acting. Chitra Thapar as ‘Simran’ added to the overall performance with her notable performance.
