 SHILLONG: City-based socio-cultural organisation Shraboni presented a contemporary drama Oniket Sandhya – Abode Lost at Day’s End at the State Central Library auditorium on Sunday.

The play highlighted the dilemma faced globally by the modern nuclear family and the changing relationship towards accommodating the older generation.

The play by Chandan Sen, who is a Bengali film, television and stage actor based in Kolkata, deals with the stark issues that every working class family and their dependents face in today’s materialistic world, where family relationships and ties have taken a backseat.

Bhismadeb, a once famous classical and semi-classical maestro, is reduced to the level of an octogenarian paralytic. Only his son Karnadeb and his great grandson Papu can elicit some response from him.

Bhismadeb’s family hatch a plan to move him to an old age home.

When Karnadeb learns about his son’s repugnant plan, he was shocked that the decision was taken without his knowledge. But amidst resistance from the daughter-in-law, better sense later prevailed in the family.
