Synopsis:

MOHAN [M-30] is a writer. He writes fiction. His stories are

primarily inspired from his own life experiences. He derives his

imagination from his earlier memories and his dreams. He writes

stories to get rid of his past. He keeps a diary where he notes

down his dreams. Some of his dreams are repetitive but when he

starts analyzing it to find out what it means then he gets puzzled

and couldnt distinguish between his dreams and reality; which in

turn explores his personality and reveals more dark secrets about

him.

TREATMENT:

MOHAN travels through his dreams in different zones of his

memories. He observes a death of an unidentified person and a

rebirth of a soul. He writes about it in his diary specifically

mentioned as Diary of My Dreams as THE BOON.

He finds himself as a child eating bitter gourd which he never

liked. It merges with another dream where a virgin asks him for an

abandoned task that he couldnt accomplish. He writes about it as

THE CURSE.

He sees the virgin and himself meeting in the modern times because

of unavoidable circumstances but she couldnt recognize him and

rejects his proposal fulfilling the past legacy. He observes that

as THE RULE.

He sees overshadows of his present life that gets mixed with his

dream there he have a conversation with the Almighty. HE turns to

be an observer of his fate which is already decided and he writes

it in his diary as THE LAW.
