fहndi - Mahatma Gandhi Antarrashtriya Hindi Vishwavidyalaya

all this and again all that is against this...The man feels the mushroom flyingaway from his hands. He starts strugglingto hold it back.Sound of a child giggling, as if tryingto loosen the tight grip on his arm andrun away from a parent.A similar struggle between the man andrhe mushroom.The giggling becomes more and moreplayful.The man successfully subdues themushroom.The giggling turns into sulking andprotest.The man slaps the mushroom.The child starts crying.The man, feeling helpless, startsfondling the mushroom like a child.The man is happy for a while; thengets startled as if bitten by the mushroom.Sound of circus music.The man now tries to get rid of themushroom but cannot. The whole thingis like the clown act in a circus. After ahard struggle he succeeds in throwing themushroom up and is happy to see it fallwith a thud.Snarling of a tiger.The man looks at the mushroomapprehensively; then pounces on it. A fiercefight between the two ensues.The snarling becomes more and morefierce. The man is exhausted and defeated.He lies on the ground, the mushroomoverriding him.VOICE. In spite of the duality ofperception and inception in all humandesigns, the intra-mural processes of one'sinner consciousness, that is to say the intramuralprocesses of one's innerconsciousness as explained and understood,go to determine what can be called . . .what can be described as ... described as... mauvai honte ... of... of... of you knowwhat. This you know-what is constantlypressurised by the forces at the back, forcesin front, forces to the right, forces to theleft, forces below, forces above and forces. . .forces . . . forces . . . A number ofmen and women cross the stage and makefor the bunch of mushrooms. The manlooks dazed.Dance music strikes up as the crowdstarts plucking the mushrooms.All mushrooms are plucked instantly.People dance about with their mushrooms.The man staggers up on his feet holdinghis own mushroom which he is all the timecomparing with those of the others. Theircolours somehow seem more fascinating.He offers to exchange his mushroom withmany of them, but is refused each time.Dance music is suddenly cut short by airraid sirens.People hide here and there huggingtheir mushrooms.Blasts of an air raid.The man, hugging his mushroom,desperately looks for a corner to hide, butdoes not find one.A big blast.The man springs up and falls as if theblast were just under his feet.VOICE.'
