8 Witty and Meaningful Dialogues from Tin Ekanta

Tin Ekanta (Three Solitude) is a set of three extended monologues. Three stories Weekend, Dhoop ka Ek Tukda and Dedh Inch Upar of Indian story-writer Nirmal Verma are translated by Aashant Sharma and turned into a play by Anup Baral. Good stories, better performances, attractive set design and lighting, nice music, dosage of humor, a good use of videography on background to support the narration but still, have to deal with boredom. The play, as a whole is just not up to the mark.

Nevertheless, dialogues are utterly symbolic and meaningful. Here are some of them:

1.    It is very unlucky to not being able of getting used to certain habits. Choosing is one thing and getting used to that choice is different, difficult.

2.    When you get old, it gets difficult to sleep at nights. Whether you need 200 grams of worries with 100 grams of tiredness or 300 grams of beer, to get a sleep.
