Aashna | आशना
Deepak Yadav's 'Aashna,' brought to life by Sanjana Books, is a compelling Hindi drama that plunges into the intricate tapestry of human existence. Emanating from the author's intimate battles with famine and despair, this theatrical creation presents a candid and unvarnished examination of societal disparities. Initially bearing the name 'Bhukh' (Hunger), the production debuted on May 6, 2022, at the Veda Factory in Mumbai. Yadav, who modestly characterizes his endeavor as a mere 'trivial infraction in the literary realm,' creates a poignant mirror reflecting the harsh realities of poverty, the struggle to endure, and the ethical quandaries encountered by those existing on society's fringes. Through its gripping storyline, 'Aashna' challenges audiences to grapple with disquieting realities and reflect on the multifaceted lives of those navigating the bustling streets of Mumbai.
