Born in Rawalpindi in 1942, playwright and author Swadesh Deepak made Ambala his home. He lived there until 2006, when one day he stepped out of his house for a walk and never returned. His play “Court Martial” is said to have had over 5000 shows across the country and yet Deepak shunned fame. Battling Bipolar disorder he stepped away for treatment, keeping little contact with the outside world. His return to the world of letters was momentous with an autobiographical account of his illness, Maine Mandu Nahin Dekha, and the play Sabse Udaas Kavita. He went on to win the 2004 Sahitya Akademi Award. Swadesh Deepak has not been found to this date.
