Excelsior Correspondent

JAMMU, Oct 27: Natrang staged a Dogri play “Diary Kuse Lok Naath Di” in its Sunday Theatre Series at its studio.
The play was based on the story written by one of the most celebrated Dogri writer Prof Madan Mohan Sharma who is a recipient of Sahitya Akademi Award. The play was adapted and directed by Dimple Sharma.
The play revolves around the diary of one ‘Lok Nath’. The writer’s son finds a diary from a park and takes it to his home. The cover of the diary was so tempting and attractive that the writer could not resist going through it. Whenever there was any unusual happening in the life of Loknath, he did not forget to pen down it. The opening pages finds Loknath disillusioned with everyone around him even to the extent that he has lost faith in God. Cash starved Loknath opts to do tuition by teaching the children of his own boss, this way he will be able to please the hierarchy and make some pocket money as well. Here he happens to have some encounter with the sister-in-law of the boss. Loknath finds her very attractive, charming and pleasing, which prompts him to venture into an affair. Finally, he withdraws his plan for the reason that if his boss will come to know about his intentions he is not only going to lose his girl of dreams but the tuition and the regular job as well. The most interesting part of the play was its language which was itself a complete theatre.
Pawan Verma as Lok Nath portrayed the inner conflicts of the character in a beautiful manner. Rahul Singh played the role of narrator and demonstrated his grip over the performance.
The lights were executed by Neeraj Kant. Mohammad Yaseen did hall management. Sumeet Sharma coordinated and also presented the show before the audience.
