I believe in the purity, the simplicity of stripping yourself of everything you are, just to attain, or don the role of someone else... it takes a lot to do that, and STILL retain a bit of your own individuality. thats the mark of a great actor.

22nd Birthday Memories

Once again, thanks to everybody who wished me on my birthday...* whoopee 22...no big deal, of course...just older, not wiser, still very much the same me*

Now...the big secret...not exactly, but the question on everyone's mind, since I didn't run riot with it...what did I exactly do on the night of my birthday.

Exterior: Prithvi House, Opp. Prithvi Theatre, Juhu.
A boy in his early 20's enters the frame, he's seen leaving the house. He looks towards the camera to his left, when...
cut to:
A rickshaw stops at Prithvi. Two young men get out, and pay the fare, they turn towards the theatre, when...

D: " Abbey P, J, what're you doing here? "
J: " Oh no, Yeh Dekh kaun ( Look who's here...as usual)..!"

The three of them enter Prithvi Theatre's cafe.
P: " Met T ? He'sinside! "

And they sit at a table with a fourth young man, T .Fade out on Prithvi's Cafe.
The Beginning.

And then it Rained, and rained, and some more...then it stopped, then it Poured even more.

And so, since it was raining so much, I spent most of the evening, then most of the same night, at that same table, at that same corner of the same cafe of the same Prithvi Theatre.

Sounds like the most boring story on the planet, but of course a young boy turning 22, a young, aspiring actor/writer, who thinks Theatre is more than just life and blood...well it wasn't really that boring for him....what do you think?

Passion is perhaps THAT one thing that can keep us going...
and the space that is integral in keeping this passion alive could be nothing less than a shrine.
