Presence @ Prithvi...






Well it had to be fantastic...the start of Nov...the very day n time we are scheduled to see 2 (of my favourite...)Habib Tanvir plays back to back...the rain gods came down to visit...so here is the story in words n pics....

We barely get there n it starts pouring...(the pic above is in the canteen n the crowd that gathered in the canteen to guzzle hot stuff n enjoy the insane weather!)

"parathas will take time sir"...said the canteen owner...ah! n how long would that be...?

"...Sir only till the rain stops..."

Eventually the plays were staged indoors...

(with yours truly braving wet clothes in a chilly auditorium!...why? )

(To the right...the opening dance from 'Sadak')




....one was hoping for the phenomenal performances associated with the troupe...
cos their first show the night before barely made their grade...



(....so it was a pleasant surprise to see an old friend...
Manoj Nair on stage claming a role, i saw him play the
first time in his life in Delhi in 04...that of the judge!)








So we got out of the theatre
that eve...n there was
an awesome feel good glow
all around...cos it was wet
and Prithvi had these dainty
lanterns all around
....hmmmnnnn.....
Absolute Melancholy!
