Rama...

A puppet show which i saw at Rangashankara. This was a play completely executed with puppets and computer graphics. A notable thing about this was that the story was manipulated at the end by Lord Rama not accepting Sita and Sita taking "Samidhi" at the end.

Coorg Trip - The Scotland of India

Image
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...

A Monologue series by Girish Karnard

Image
I was always fascinated by the concept of monologues. Had heard and read about them but had never seen one. This was i guess the best one i could have watched. The writing of Girish Karnad had always attracted me. Girish Karnard's stories always have three main ingredients. They always have a sense of humour in the stories. They also have some super natural twists and they have a lot of adult dialogs. Rajat Kapoor's performance, the set, the lighting all hold your attention. The narration by Rajat Kapoor brings to life all the characters in the script. Its as good as seeing them on the stage. The second monologue of Girish Karnard i saw was "Bikre Bimb" an Hindi adaptation of its original version called "Odkalu Bimba". This was directed by Girish Karnard after a gap of 35 yrs. This was preformed by Arundithi Nag, who owns Ranga Sankara. The best part about the play was the concept of portraying the concise of the caracter in a TV which was so perfectly synch...

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...
