Aye zindgi… the literary creation of Mr. Raghunandan Trivedi, The main character of the story Vinayak Acharya binds himself in discipline and seriousness so much through his life that he looses pleasure of childhood; youth and old age. He realizes losing these precious pleasures repeatedly, even he attained them further confusion; and he died in the same confusion.
His numerous unfulfilled desires and precious moments of life died with him like childhood mischief; playing santoliya, kite festival, holi and matargashti with friends. Youth is the dream of heaven, during that flirting; roaming around the streets, Tea shops, waiting for girls, outside Girls College etc.
He wishes to put hand in hand with his darling wife Khwahish and to go for movie with her, celebrating children’s birthday, But Vinayak in the alleged ‘discipline and seriousness of affair’ does nothing and his life got over with these KHANCHE.
