Jugari Cross - Kannada play

Finally went to this play at Ranga Shankara with my entire family, something which i was trying to do since a long time.

Jugari Cross - Kannada play for 105 mins, written by Poornachandra Tejasvi and directed by Nataraj Honnalli. Poornachandra Tejasvi is the son of “Rashtrakavi” Kuvempu.

The play starts with introduction of Jugari Cross and goes on to be a story of a treasure hunt. A couple goes to a market to sell beetle nut harvest from their farm. Some local goons hide some drugs in their bag on the way. The rest of the story is about how the goons chase them and the couple stumble upon some old scripts which turn out to be a map to the treasure.

The striking point about the play was the vivid range of people from all parts of karnataka. Decided to watch it for "Poornachandra Tejasvi"'s name !!!

Coorg Trip - The Scotland of India

After planning for a long long time, finally decided to go to Coorg and Wayanad for our first marriage anniversary. Searching through the travel logs and travel blogs gave us some idea of what was there in store for us. Thankful to Sahas for giving me the complete details of the trip. 24-12:6:30AM Started from Bangalore, took the new NICE ring road till Mysore road. After having a quick breakfast at the new Kamat uphar headed towards Srirangapatna. Took the Mysore bypass towards Hunsur. Drove from Virajpet to Gonikoppal to kakabbe. The road from Gonikoppal to kakabbe was single lane and full of potholes. 24-12:11:30AM We were booked at Misty Woods Resort. It is in such a beautiful surroundings that once you reach the resort, it takes away all the strain of the travel. They have only 12 cottages and not much of crowd. The food is also delicious, but you will have to inform them of your preferences before hand. We spent the day in the resort and later visited the Kakkabe palace and the p...

Love Letters - Play performed by Rajit Kapur

Image
I went to the Rangashankara to watch Rahul Da Cunha's version of ‘Love Letters’ . The Pulitzer award winning play written by AR Gurney, describes the romantic and poignant relationship between childhood friends Melissa Gardner (Shernaz Patel) and Andrew Makepeace Ladd III (Rajit Kapur) over fifty years. The story unfolds through the letters the two characters have written to one another. The play was first performed in 1988. Shernaz Patel is just so amazing in the way she brings the impetuous Melissa. Even at this age she has so much of charm, its a treat to watch her on stage. Her role of the child's mother in BLACK was excellent. Rajit Kapur is a versatile actor who has no boundaries and leaves me spellbound always. Watch out for some bold dialogs which are a signature of all Rajit Kapur plays. Inspired by Love Letters, Feroz Khan has directed Tumhari Amrita तुम्हारी अमृता adapted by Javed Siddqui and had Farooque Shaikh who plays the politician Syed Zulfiquar Haider and Sha...
