For a few years now, Manav Kaul says he has been tweeting "Giving up on Godot". "The idea came because of the world we are in right now. Not just in India, but everywhere… Growing up, we thought that when the new generation comes in, it will be interesting, and that the world will be a better place. But what's happened in 2020 is that we seem to be moving backwards. We are not learning from history."

Caught in a rut like a hamster in a wheel, Kaul feels that we seem to be waiting for someone to come and resolve our conflicts. The elusive Godot. "And, while we wait for Godot to arrive, we are blaming each other for everything that transpires. What then, if we just give up on Godot?" Kaul asks this question rhetorically, perhaps. But, it's also an idea that he's been toying with for long enough to turn into a play.
