The world we live in is a very strange place. Some eat to live and some live to eat. In one way or another, our lives revolve around food: some cook; some eat; some store it; some hoard it; some starve for it; some steal it. Our very survival depends on the food.
That is what the two main characters of this play are trying to do; survive another day in their lives. Salim & Javed are two beggars; like any other; they meet on a street like any other; on a day like any other. But what results is hilarity like never before.
The two share their stories; their ‘areas’; and their modus operandi. As they go from street to street and house to house pleading to people’s sense of charity, they chance upon the home of Ismail Bhai & his wife Pasha Bi. Ismail Bhai is a well known cook who has been invited by a Nawaab to display his culinary skills. Eager to impress the nawaab, he prepares a special Biryani and instructs his wife to hand it over to the delivery boy he sends.
