Two Stories of Rajee Seth - Dramatized

Rajee Seth’s short stories evoke a warm humanism tempered with an understanding and empathy for people faced with dilemmas in life, and who reach into their inner selves for answers. The two dramatized stories in Hindi are ‘memory pieces’, where the characters look inward and reflect on events that moved them deeply in their personal lives  

 

Khali Lifafa (Empty Envelope)

‘Ma, you had promised to send me that empty envelope … to say that you are in difficult times … and that you need me …’.  But that envelope never arrives, and the mother dies unexpectedly. The daughter struggles to fathom the relationship with her mother, and the wisdom of her ways, and that the unsaid is equally revealing about life and its challenges. 

 

Ruko, Intezaar Husain (Wait, Intezaar Husain) 

Roshan, a survivor of The Partition from Lahore, longs to revisit his traumatic past forty years after summer of 1947.  Convinced that answers to his past must lie buried somewhere in the many books on The Partition, he starts to read Intezaar Husain’s novel Bastee. Hoping to discover his personal truth he embarks on an inner journey and confronts his past, with shattering realizations of what The Partition means to him
