Parikshita Awaiting and Siddhartha the Other

The plot of the play Parikshita Awaiting is based on social realism, how a small kid gets affected by the incidents happening in the surroundings every day, and fear engulfs the senior most persons in the family and society. I have stated above that culture/ society/environment shapes an individual. Parikshita, the play's protagonist, and other family members, like two sons, Sandeep and Pradeep and wife, Shashwati, are sprayed by the fear complex at home. This fear factor engulfs the entire family members when Parikshita opens the letter inserted in the door stating, 'Your head will be severed from the body'. That was written by a child, Chintu, a classmate of Parikshita's younger son, Pradeep. He writes it out of anger. But the family members and neighbours think that a hardcore criminal or goon has chalked out this evil plan carefully. The protagonist, Siddhartha, in the second play, Siddhartha, the Other, makes the people aware of the life they have been blessed with on this planet. He doesn't discuss salvation, nirvana, moksha, or enlightenment like Goutam Buddha. Here, he advocates for the people on Earth to focus on the work that will make them immortal. In this play, Siddhartha, the only son of the industrialist Rajendra, leaves his father, fiancée Lopa and friend Sambit to meditate in the dense forest full of wild creatures of the Mountain of Himalayas. Rajendra, Lopa, and Sambit, accompanied by security personnel, have followed him since he ran away from home. While meditating, he visits heaven in his dream and meets the God of Wealth, Kubera and Agni Deva, the God of Fire, and finally, Vishnu, God the Almighty. Siddhartha asks them, "How can the people on Earth attain the immortal life you all experience here in heaven?" Their answers bring out the new changes in Siddhartha's life. Where there is no death, there is no life. There is nothing new. No changes are marked in the life. Our ever-youthfulness and eternal spring in heaven make our life monotonous and disappointing. We have been suffering this life since time immemorial as if cursed. But the people on Earth like you think that we enjoy life here. Variety is the beauty of life that you all experience there. Sometimes, some of us step down to Earth and get thrilled. Initially, he requests the Almighty to bless the people with jatismara(the power to recollect their past lives). But later, he understood the repercussions of that.
