Arinjaa

Sangathi Arinjaa

No its not gossip time.. It just the name of the play I just watched... its the name of the only play I have watched..
So that makes it the first play I have watched .. Howzzat ???? 
It was madeup of a some of Basheer's short stories stringed together by a group called Perch .. 
I had managed to catch it at RangaShankara..

I had gone there with no expectations, the way I approach anything new I guess, but i was sceptical about the idea though.. I was really not in the mood for any hanky wringing sessions. But I was surprised, I not only liked the play , I have found the media enchanting too ... 

There was so much energy in the auditorium, from the active troupe and the silent crowd,that I didnt realise the play was more than 2 hours long.

I had assumed that there wud be some time lag in between scenes considering it is live ...but it was seamless..The change in scenes were perfect..Television with all its killjoy ads should take a leaf or two out of the theatre.

It was awesome.. I am not a great fan of the word .. but in this case I would use the word.. It was awesome..Arinjolu.. Play nannayirunnu ketto ? :-)
