Excelsior Correspondent
KATRA, July 25: Natrang today staged one of its highly innovative play ‘Mind Games’ in Hindi at Maitrika Auditorium of Shri Mata Vaishno Devi University (SMVDU), in its ongoing event – INSPIRE.
The play has been written and directed by Sumeet Sharma and was witnessed by Vice Chancellor SMVDU, Prof Sudhir K Jain, Vice Chancellor Kashmir University, Prof Talat Ahmed, Registrar SMVDU, Roopavtar Kaur and scholars, students,  mentors and resource persons from all over the country.
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 humour 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.
Sumeet Sharma as the lead character ‘Ajeet’ lived his role with professional flair. Gaurav Jamwal as his ‘Dream’ was also very impressive in portraying such a complex character. Others who supported the play with their noteworthy performance included Mohit Sharma as ‘Boss’, Rahul Singh as ‘Kumar’, Vineet Sharma as ‘Simran’, Mohd Yaseen, Sushil Raina, Vishal Sharma, Ashwani Bali, Uplaksh Singh Kotwal, Sajra Qadir, Shekhar Sharma, Sakshi Parkash and Shilpa Chandan. The lights were professionally designed and executed by Suraj Ganjoo and the sound effects were scored by Pawan Verma.
