If there is one modern gadget that has made the 21st century society more insular than ever before, it has to be the smartphone. After religion, it's now the new opium of the masses. There was even a survey conducted recently in which over 68 per cent of the respondents said they feel angry when someone takes their phone off charge without prior warning.

A similar percentage also said that they feel irritable when they lose their Wi-Fi connection all of a sudden. That's the sort of hold that the smartphone has on our psyche. Now, a new play that will premier in the city this weekend takes a comedic look at how this has affected modern human behaviour and relationships, apart from showcasing how the Indian middle class keeps multiple skeletons in its closet.
