'Summing up' would give an impression of being quite simple and easy in nature. But I think otherwise...not a rare opinion though! It is most difficult to sum up a wholeness without losing its flavor or essence. So let me make an effort here to sum up the beautiful 2 years that I was practically out of the blog world.
Marriage!!! Ah- to say in a single line - I got married happily on November 12, 2008 to Ram and since then have been happily married to the best man for me on earth. No exaggeration as everyone can see the results of marriage in me. The first year was a mad rush of settling into the new home, new family and of course a husband! The second year brought forth the thinking and the effort to bring our love for theatre to the forefront through Nishumbita. And I would proudly say that its been satisfying-
- Girish Karnad's "Nagamandala' on 10th Jan,2010
- K. Madhavane's "Mahabharata of Women" on 27th March,2010
- Chidrens play on "Sri Aurobindo" on 10th April, 2010
- Children's play "Desi Tales" on 25th April, 2010 and 11th June, 2010
- Samuel Beckett's "Waiting for Godot" on 23rd July, 2010 at HTF
So its been busy and rewarding for me as far as theatre and marriage was concerned. But it would be wrong on my side if I don't confess my state of confusion and dislodgement in this whole affair. I would say my mind was upto too many things and quite harsh on my own self. Probably the pressure that I had created for myself had made me unclear in mind. A state where my mind would refuse to think for itself and do things that would be out of habit or is of the natural order. But as said "Change is the only constant feature in life"...clouds of doubt- self-doubt- confusion and vagueness are beginning to clear and the self that has now come forth has a better vision to be wise, happy, active and calm!
Changes of the same processes were noticed before but for me this has been a difficult stage of confusion to cross. And Ram stood by me even when I was not myself completely or losing the strength inside me.
Yes I am Back! Very Much Back! And the motivation to express my thinking once again through writing was brought by my latest play - "Saari Raat...". Possibly my next post will be about the thought process triggered by the play.
