V-Day has become V-Scary Day! Posted on February 14, 2007February 14, 2007 Following my post yesterday, there have been more interesting (and predictable) developments in the Indian public space. People in the city of Jaipur are advised to indulge in private displays of affection instead (this is very much Indian culture, btw) and make loads of babies. It’s good for the country,… Share this: Share on Facebook (Opens in new window) Facebook Share on Reddit (Opens in new window) Reddit Share on X (Opens in new window) X Share on Pinterest (Opens in new window) Pinterest Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window) Email Share on Tumblr (Opens in new window) Tumblr Print (Opens in new window) Print Read More
Two noteworthy performances Posted on November 18, 2005November 18, 2005 I have to write about two performances that I enjoyed in the last week. One was last Sunday evening at the Palace Grounds – Octoberfest, the festival organized by Kingfisher. Since, beer is not something that tickles my fancy, I was hoping the music would be worth going for. On that note, I must also add, that I was pleasantly surprised by the way the whole set-up was organized. They had nice seating arrangements all around the front area of the stage, so you could chill out and eat your food and drink your beer and enjoy the music from wherever you were.

Why? Kyon? Pourquoi? Posted on October 30, 2006October 30, 2006 I seriously fail to understand the reasoning behind remaking a classic. They should leave them alone. Let them be! So, here’s what’s happening to Don. And I’m already a little afraid for Umrao Jaan and Sholay.

Hi, It seems rather weird, but I thought, why not? About what? Just a few words ahead. I didn’t find a mail/contact on your blog. I could have missed it, but it could also not have been there. So this seemed the best way to contact you. Getting down to business now. My name is Mithun, it’s probably there in the comments by. I’m a writer with Digit, a technology magazine based in Mumbai. I got a few question with regards to the articles i’m working on. Could you mail back with say your tel no and mail id. Trust me it’s strictly for business. Mithun Reply
Yipee! Yet another B’lore Bloggers meet!. Wish i could make it. Anyways, you all enjaaai maadi. Cheers 🙂 Reply
Hi Anita, I am a bangalore blogger. But (un)fortunately we have planned for a bloggers meet @ chennai this weekend 🙂 It would be great if you can plan for a meet sometime next week 😀 Reply
Cool! I’d got the tickets for the saturday show even before I came across this post 🙂 Looking forward to see you on saturday. Cheers, Pradeep Reply
Oh, I was there at the Ranga Shankara today 🙂 , too bad I didn’t know you were coming on Sunday (and not Saturday) as well. I wrote about it here: http://www.swaroopch.info/archives/2005/03/27/a-heap-of-broken-images/ Reply
A Heap of broken Images… a brilliant play by most standards. Brilliant direction… Acting at its Zenith… and strong story line. For Arundhati Raja to have balanced the act to perfection. with the alter ego that plays on the TV screen. I now wish i saw the kannada version too. BTW brilliant pictures, i was into photogrpahy earlier but have now stopped completly, would love to get back to it sometime. Reply
mithun: it is anitabora5 at rediffmail dot com muthu: all tickets were sold out, so i landed up watching a movie instead 🙂 ferrari: we shall plan another one soon. hope the chennai one was good! pradeep: unfortunately, no tickets! did you enjoy the play? swaroop: didn’t get tickets on either day. so will have to be happy with your write-up as of now! satya: i missed it! the kannada version was also supposedly very good. and sold out too 🙂 and thanks for the nice words. i’ve only taken up my clicking hobby seriously after moving to bangalore, so it’s never too late!

Hi .. wanted to know your feedback on the play (Girish Karnad’s Heap of Broken Images) .. I believe they’re having it again on 21,22,23rd June. I was there at Ranga Shankara last weekend for sleuth Thanks ~UDP Reply
Sir i have translated a three act play “Revenge of Shakuni” written by late Gonesf Gogoi, an eminent playwriter of Assam in the 40’s wherein he captured the essnce of the Mahabharata in a tiny volume of 40 pages only, for a wider audience. I am writting this letter to explore a possibility of staging the same through renown theatre groups and request you to have a glance on the creation. I shall be awaiting your reaction. with regards Prashanta Kumar Bordoloi Reply
