Jai Shri Seeta samet Jai Ramchandra dev (Hail Lord Seeta and Hail Lord Ram)... Many wishes to all in love and to all of you a very joyful Valentines Day. .. With all the calamity of pink chaddi's and what not, I just figured that the first ever marriage done by Ram Sene (not led by Mr. Mutalik ) was of Mr. Ram and Ms. Sita .  Well those who talk about love being an offence and show of love in public a bigger offence have a lot of stories to learn from our mythology.  I think I should mention the name of Lord Krishna who was known for being an outright exhibitionist of love. There are many other instances which I can think of like birth of Karna, Hanuman's son Mritsanjaneya , Lakshmana and Shoorphanakhi list is endless and I have already had numerous debates with my acquaintances about each of this case.

Hello, As part of Fourth Corner Productions we are doing a seven minute long Short Play for a corporate.  On their annual day celebrations in Chennai on Saturday 14 Feb, 2009 and in Bangalore on Sunday 22 Feb, 2009.  I need six actors 3 male and 3 female for this.  Will also pay the artists but not too much but enough to be happy.  Also the uniqueness of this production has inspired me to turn it into a short movie later on with little more additions.  Experience is not a must but command over English language is since clarity of speech is all I am looking at. Mail me at pd at ivcorner.com for further info. AUDITION OVER AND CAST SELECTED, THANKS ALL OF YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT AND PARTECEPATION . Do pass this on to all you know who are interested in experimental and improvisational theatre.  The concept note for the entire production is as follows which will give you a complete picture of whats being planned.

One day long back in history there was a guy called Pritam, who was famous for his photographs of Page 3 and the topper of the who's who list of Bangalore theatre scene, and who used to smile at me when I used to visit Koshies and I first thought he works there since there was no time in those days that he was not present when I visited there.  We did speak about theatre some times and he finally called me one day.  We did a play called Khel for which I got critical acclamation from people from the who's who ciricle.  Recently he woke up suddenly and over few glasses of rum told me that he has started making movies.  We took this up as a project for his videos and shot in basemen of Alliance Française.  We used lights of my car and Pritams newly adopted baby a sofisticated camera imported from some posh country.  There were three things which got hurt during making of this movie Amjad, Camera & my Car. It  recently got selected for a film festival online and I  want all of ...
