The play presents a few humourous episodes from the lives of the elderly middle-class couple, Sarasamma and Mylarayya: the English-educated Mylarayya’s desperate attempts to relearn his mother-tongue when it is declared the official language; a retired Mylarayya making  a nuisance of himself to the household; the couple’s dream of winning a crore in a television quiz gradually turning into a nightmare; Sarasu’s attempts to become a writer and her being conned  by a fake film script-writer into parting with the small honorarium she receives for her first story; the invitation to make a memorial lecture landing Sarasu in another mess; and Mylarayya’s anxieties over Sarasu’s brief spell of spirituality.
