The story revolves around a boy Aman who is unemployed, he is looking for work and his wife works in a private company. There is a person living in the neighborhood of Aman who wants to talk to Aman again and again but Aman keeps avoiding him.
One day he meets Aman in a bar, here that neighbor Aman starts talking, even after wanting Aman, he does not know to ignore him.
Neighbor tells his situation to Aman that he does not have work, had arranged marriage, got less dowry, in-laws do not support, wife goes to job, she suspects that his wife is having affair with her boss.
The neighbor tells Aman all the same things that are going on in Aman's mind.
Somewhere Aman is explaining all these things to the neighbor but himself is not understanding, at the end of the play the same situation is going on with Aman's wife Asha, she is explaining to her classmate.
This play shows the dual mentality of men, on one hand the man wants his wife to walk shoulder to shoulder with him, but should not talk much to any other man, earn money but do not come out of the house.
