Maine gunah kiya hai main doshi hoon mujhe saza milni chahiye
Maine kai arsa rokar guzara hai aur ab mere aansu sukh chuke hai
Mai lalchi hoon aur lobhi bhi main mohabbat ke layak nahi
Mere bhai aur meri mohabbat marr rahe hai. Aur main apne hi hathon
se un dono ka katl kar raha hoon
Isi ke sath maine apne maut ke path par chalna shuru kar diya hai
Nahi main mohabbat kar sakta hoon na hi vaasa Mujhe ab aur akele
nahi rehna aur Nahi main kisi ke sath ab zidagi basar kar sakta hoon
Mera stan bada hai aur mujhe ab apne ang pasand nahi aate
Main apni gehri neend mein so Rahi mashuka se irsha hai jisne
badhoshi ki chadar apni aankhoon par lapet neend ko chuna hai

Treatment
The first scene starts with the black and the sound as we slowly fade in the center where our
character is sitting.
The conversation of silence a very long silence is there to denote that the person is alone and
now there is no one who supports the person (In our version it's an aftermath of a genocide
where the person has lost his family and village too)
We then see the transition into a physical movement based where a group of human turned
arachnids come closer to the person who is now a trapped cocoon. A quarter of the scene
happens there then the cocoon starts its walk towards the center of stage. Till it reaches near a
log curtain which has numbers imprinted on it (for the person it's the number of deaths that
happened in his village including the family) the patient does 7 number tests.
—-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It wasn't for long, I wasn't there long. But drinking bitter black
coffee I catch that medicinal smell in a cloud of ancient tobacco and
something touches me in that still place and a wound form two years
ago opens like a cadaver and a long buried shame roars its foul
decaying grief.
Ye Vo aur na jane kon kon kaise inke mann mein khayal aaya
ki mere kamre mein ghus kar mut lete hai. Main avishwas
mein jalta raha meri beizzati poori hui aur main bina kisi
wajah ke kap raha tha. Main kehta bhi kya meri beemari
mein ek cheez to pakki hai ki mujhe marna hai to ab kisi
cheez ko kare ya kehi ka faida kya And I am deadlocked by
that smooth psychiatric voice of reason which tells me there
is an objective reality in which my body and mind are one.
But I am not here and never have been. Dr This writes it
down and Dr That attempts a sympathetic murmur. Sab
mujhe dekh rahe the mujhe judge kar rahe the mere chamdoo
se nikalti pass ko soongh rahe the meri chatpatahat mera
bhay meri ghabrahat sab mujhme simat kar reh gayi aur
main is khayal mein khoya raha ki sab mujhe dekh kar has
kyun rahe hai mujhe sharm aati rahi
Tum sabko apne sharm mein doob kar marr jana chahiye
Sakh wale log, daulat wale log, padhe likhe log, log jo tumhe
log na mane jabtak tum apne hone ka parcha na dikha do,
ask sab ek hi sawaal karte hai, ek jaise shabd, har marz ka ek
hi rasaynik ilaj aur pooche jane par ek dusre ki haal bachate
phirte hai, tum ek ek laute insaan the jisne mujhe meri Marzi
se chua, jo meri meri aankhoon mein dekh hansa, kon meri
befazool baaton par hansa aur kisne mere sath peshab karte
waqt bathroom mein waqt guzara tab bhi jab ai apa sir
mundwa raha tha aur kaha ki mujhe dekha use acha lagta
hai, kisne jhoot kaha ki use mujhe dekhna acha lagta hai?
Kise jhoot kaha? Aur kaha ki mujhe dekhna acha lagta hai?
Maine tum par yakeen kiya, maine tumse mohabbat ki, mujhe
tumhe khone ka gam nahi balki in kagazoo mein dabi
tumhare jhoothe makkar chehro ki yaadon se takleef hoti hai.
Aur jab mujhe lag raha tha ki tum auroon se alag ho,
tumhare chehre par bhi inhalatoon se kabhi na kabhi to
takleef hoti hogi. Tum bhi sala baki rasookhwaloo ki tarah
apni topi bachane ki aad mein lage rahe.
Mere zehan mein vo dhokha hai aur uske tukdee mere zehan
ke kateen

The second scene will be a conversation between the person and the god. The god at back on his
seat the character in middle
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
An expressionist nag
Stalling between two fools
I have reached the end of his dreary and repugnant tale of a sense
interned in an alien carcass and lumpen by the malignant spirit of the
moral majority
Main ab apne is behude aur badmijaz dastaan ke ant tak aa chuka
hoon mere ye murda ho chuke alag khayal ab haari is naitiktavadi
majority ke khayalo se male nahi khate
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RSVP ASAP
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Treatment:
The scene would be duet with self psychosis it will then convert into a single monologue towards
the end
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kabhi kabhi main uthta hoon aur mujhe tumhari Khushboo aati hai. I
cannot fucking go on
Mujhse ab aur nahi chala jata
Ye yakeen karna mushkil hai ki itna sab kuch hone ke baad bhi tumhe koi
guilt mehsoos kyun nahi hota. Jabki yahan main itna sab mehsoos kar
doob Raha hoon.
Kya tumhe kuch mehsoos nahi hota?
(Silence.)
Main Roz tumhari talash mein subah 6 baje nikal jata hoon, agar maine
khwabb mein tuti imaratein, malboom ke dher, station, rasta, maikha dekha
hai to main wahan chala jata hoon, aur tumhara intezar karta hoon
(Silence.)
Tum jante ho mujhe sach mein lagta hai ki koi mujhe bhadka raha hai
(Silence.)
Maine apni poori zindagi auron ko apnane mein kabhi socha nahi par kisi
aur ne mere liye Aisa kabhi nahi kiya. Kisi ne mujhe kabhi chua nahi aur
nahi kabhi koi mere nazdeek aaya. Tumne mujhe chua kahin into gehrayi
mein ki I fucking can't believe and I can't be that for you. Kyuki ab main
tumhe dhoondh nahi pa raha
(Silence.)
(Silence.)
Tumhe lagta hai ki ek insaan ka kisi galat shareer mein paida hona
mumkin hai?
(Silence.)
Fuck you. Fuck you. Fuck you for rejecting me by never being there,
fuck you for making me feel shit about myself, fuck you for bleeding
the fucking love and life out of me, fuck my father for fucking up my
life for good and fuck my mother for not leaving him, but most of all,
fuck you God for making me love a person who does not exist,
Treatment: the lover and Character will perform this scene as up up down down and movement
rhythm contemporary till the lover gets separated from the patient ultimately resulting in the
breakdown
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
– Nahi
– Nahi .
aaraam diya?
(Silence.)
– Nahi
– To poocho
(A long silence.)
– Nahi
(Silence)
– Mujhe laga tha tum ye karoge. Bohot log karte hai, isse
tension kamm hoti hai
–...
– No. Far too fucking sane and sensible. Mujhe nahi pata
tumhe Kahan padha ye lekin isse pareshani kamm nahi hoti
(Silence.)
– Haan
- To batao mujhe
– ASK
ME
WHY
(A long silence.)
–Nahi
– Mujhe lagta hai, tumhari galti nahi hai. Lekin tumhe apne
faisloon ko zimmedari khud Leni hogi. Please don't do it
again.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Treatment:
Single spot conversation with GOD. GOD comes and visits him and they both converse while not
looking towards each other.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I kiss a woman across the years that say we shall never meet
In ten years time she'll still be dead. When I'm living with it,
dealing with it, when a few days pass when I don't even think of
it, she'll still be dead. When I'm an old lady living ion the street
forgetting my name she'll still be dead, she'll still be dead, she'll
still be dead, it's just
fucking
over
Built to be lonely
Akela reh jane ke liye
to love the absent
Jo hai nahi usse mohabbat karne ke liye
Dhodho Mujhe
Riyah kar do
In sab se
corrosive doubt
futile despair
horror in repose
Breakdown
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Aaj nahi
(Silence.)
(Silence.)
– Nahi?
(Silence.)
Dete ho na?
– Ab koi dawa nahi bachi jo meri zindagi mein matlab bhar sake

(A long silence.)
Theek hai, karte hai, drugs kar lete hai, bann jate hai labrat
aur kar lete hai chemical lobotomy, band kar dete hai apne
dimag aur sabhi angoon ka kaam karna tab shayad main
zinda kehlaunga.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Treatment:
It starts with a migratory scene which changes the position and placing of objects in an
expressionist manner. Then the psychosis sits around the new seat talks with the patient as
society and victim

Treatment: the scene will be performed by ensemble, it will be completely physical with no
dialogue. Kind of a dance sequence.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Treatment:
We will use ensemble choreography technique of 4 different and 4 similar steps which
results in a hospital scene being created and as we walk and stop and walk and stop
randomly to say dialogue
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Abhi nahi
Par jaldi hi

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Treatment:
The scene would be played in 2 half the psychosis world be using image building exercise to
represent the tv and the effects of it on the observer
The observer (patient) will reflect on it stating he is the reason for these mass genocides which
translates into monologue.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Why am I stricken?
Grid yourselves:
If there is blasting
Fear God
Dard ki shuruat
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Treatment:
This see would take images theater ad the psychosis along with patient will perform the image of
death of christ
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Aur ab main yahan hoon aur main khud ko dekh sakta hoon

Behoshi ke ant mein hosh ko paya ja sakta hai jab badhawasi rooh
ko noch kar do hisso mein baat de
Meri zindagi wajahoo ke jaal mein phas kar reh gayi hai
4.48 par
Main so jaunga
Tum mere doctor, saviour, mere omnipotent judge, mere priest, mere
god sab kuch ho.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Treatment:
Solo monologue

to defy convention

to be forgiven
to be loved
to be free

(Silence.)
Main tumhara dard samajhta hoon magar main tumhari zindagi apne
hathon mein nahi le sakta
(Silence.)
Tum theek ho jaoge tum strong ho mujhe yakeen hai tum theek ho
jaoge kyunki i like you aur aap tabtak kisi ko pasand nahi kar sakte
jabtak vo khudko na pasand karta ho, mujhe un logo ke liye darr
lagta hai jinhe main pasand nahi karta kyun ki vo bhi khud se nafrat
karte hai aur kisi ko apne nazdeek aane nahi dena chahte
But I do like you. I'll miss you. And I know you'll be ok.
Lekin mujhe tum pasand ho aur main tumhe yaad karunga aur main
janta hoon tum theek ho jaoge
(Silence.)
(Silence.)
(Silence.)
I'm sorry.
sorry. (Silence.)
– Janta hoon main gussa hoon kyun ki mujhe samajh aata hai isliye
nahi ki mujhe samajh nahi aata
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Treatment:
The stage is being cleared and set for the final scene. Dialogue between god and patient.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fattened up
Shored up
Shoved up
my body decompensates
Hatch opens
Stark light
and Nothing
Nothing
see Nothing
What am I like?
the child of negation
I like you
I like you
still black water
as deep as forever
What am I like?
just like my father
oh no oh no oh no
Hatch opens
Stark light
Telepathy
and hope
a cyclical fear
All I know
is snow
and black despair
Everything I had
Swallowed
Slit
Hung
It is done
behold the Eunuch
of castrated thought
skull
unwound
the capture
the rapture
the rupture
of a soul
a solo symphony
warm darkness
which soaks my eyes
I know no sin
to be loved
you're breaking me
Speak
Speak
Speak
My final stand
No one speaks
Validate me
Witness me
See me
Love me
my final submission
my final defeat
watch me vanish
watch me
vanish
watch me
watch me
Watch
It is myself I have never met, whose face is pasted on the underside of my mind
