It could be a broken experience for both when two close friends stand out. Novelist and playwright Annie Zaidi Make a comeback, and set She knows the novel in the environment – the world of the theater. The result is a slim novel, part of a fable, a fairy tale.
Make a comeback It is the story of Jaun Kazim and Asghar Abbasi, who have been best friends since they attended university in Baansa, a small town in northern India. They share a passion for the stage, but while Jain continues to turn his passion into a career, moves to Mumbai, and tries to become an actor, Asgard enters the middle class paradise of bank jobs and regular salary checks. Despite this, they are still their fast friends.
This friendship collapsed when Jaun or John, whom he calls him as he is now, took a big break in Bollywood. Excited by his accomplishments, he tells an interviewer about his young robber in Baansa, who, among other things, helped his friend Asghar cheat on the graduation exam. The results of this interview were disastrous. Asghar lost his job because his academic certificate was suddenly blown into. He was angry at Jaun and he stopped talking to him.
Asgar moves back to his mother's home in Bansa and decides to rebuild his life from there. In his thirties, he coped severely with his marriage due to unemployment and he took a bachelor’s degree program so he could legally earn a graduate degree this time. More importantly, he returned to his first love, that is, on stage. He sewed the actors goose together and directed his Hindi adaptation of the work Dr. Faust.
Meanwhile, Jaun Pines cuts off from Asghar's life, like a love girl. He was even more shocked when Asghar's play was defeated. His own big breakthrough was not much, and his film career was in a downturn again. He is eager to work with Asghar and get back on stage, rather than playing a tough role in the weird part of TV or movies. He now recognizes his shortcomings—his selfishness, naked ambitions, his love instability—and begins to long for a better version of himself.
Make a comeback Full of good wishes. Jaun flips over the leaves of redemption. Asghar's spectacular nighttime success as a theater director rooted in Boondocks is a dream. Indeed, he is the first-person narrator of the novel rather than the flawed Jaen, the real hero of the book. Silently, firmly, Asghar does what he needs, hey, Presto, this time fate smiles at him. The meaning of the story? Pay for hard work and good intentions – Bad behavior does not.
