Apni Apni Bimari by Harishankar Parsai masterfully explores the nuanced landscape of human suffering through the lens of satire. This story unveils the peculiar and often ironic hierarchies of problems people face in life—from those who lament their financial hardships over taxes while living comfortably, to those who struggle for basic needs, and the inescapable burden of small-scale troubles that seem monumental to those bearing them. Parsai's storytelling highlights the relativity of pain and how one’s perspective shapes their sense of struggle. Join us as we delve into this comedic yet poignant narrative that examines how people cling to their unique "illnesses" while yearning for greater struggles that symbolize status and privilege. The result is an insightful, relatable portrayal that sparks both laughter and reflection on the human condition.

Performed by Vikas Dhurka

In Ghungroos on a Jaipur foot, written and performed by Savitha Samu, we hear a girl's predicament when her impressionable mind gets pulled in different directions when she starts excelling in her passion. Does she dance to the tune of those around her or does she dance only to the beat of her Ghungroos?
