Mhais
Mhais is the travelogue and satirical story about different types of people, written by well known Marathi writer and humorist Pu La Deshpande popularly known by his initials (“Pu. La.”) in 1960.
It starts on a Ratnagiri-Mumbai bus that is scheduled to leave at 5am Obviously, those boarding the bus have woken up at dusk, finished their morning chores and reported at the boarding point before 5. But we are talking about the State Transport bus whose engine starts rumbling on time but by the time the bus leaves Ratnagiri, it 7am already. Then there are the typical passengers- a sleepy old man, a cranky middle-aged person, the over-smart youngster and others- whose idiosyncratic behaviors pop up throughout the journey. As luck would have it, the already delayed bus bangs into a buffalo on the way and this adds to the commotion in the villagers and at the same time satirical and humorous debate turn up in between buffalo owner, his wife and villagers versus bus driver, conductor and travelers, Later the police turn up to investigate. they start panchanama and other side at the same time buffalo left with owner.
Audience gets entertained with satirical and humorous debate. This accident event storytelling with lightweight comedy has been presented as it is on big screen in front of audience.
