The world has indeed become strange, hasn't it? For most of us, childhood was filled with outdoor play, and rainy days offered the perfect excuse to curl up on the bed with a book or two. After all, that was 'entertainment'. Some of us, who were even more voracious readers, would skip the outdoor play and stay up late at night challenging ourselves to gobble up book after book. But now, entertainment equals staring into the abyss that lies beyond our beloved 'screens'. This is one of the realities that pains Capt SN Ahmed, a retired Army officer, author, and theatre enthusiast who has published a one-of-a-kind book called Das Paise ka Postcard.

"It is a collection of four fictional Hindi plays. I ardently love theatre and feel like people need to realise that apart from OTT and cinema, books and theatre are wonderful modes of entertainment," he shares with CE.
