               Uttarakhandis whether they are in Uttarakhand or far away from their native place talk about development in their villages. There are big news about hill development; the leaders provide proof of spending money on village development in rural Uttarakhand.  The village councilors have records of showing developmental works in their hill villages. In fact, the hill developments are illusion; delusion; mirage; hallucination; optical illusion; fantasy.

 The realistic and satirical drama Timal Ful by Gajendra Nautiyal raises the question of real development of the hills of Uttarakhand. The questions of Gajendra Nautiyal in the Timal Ful drama are burning questions. The flowers of fig are invisible. Same way, the records of the hill village development are real mirage.

  The simple dialogues, realistic theme make the drama audience to think about what is real requirement of hill village development
