Sadhu in Saffron colored dress and Rudraksh || Expressions of NSD, Delhi, India

 

This photograph was shot during a play by Ranjit Kapoor. The name of this play was Aadamzad. Ranjit Kapoor is one of the famous directors in Indian Theatre. But this photograph is shared to highlight the life of Sadhus around us. I was wondering, if really these Brahmcharis or Sadhus so happy. I know that everyone in life is racing except few who have realized the importance of life. But is this one of the good way of spending life?

Lady in colorful Rajasthani Dress @ National School of Drama, Delhi

Recently a play by Ranjit Kappor called Aadamzad was showcased at Sammukh, NSD and it was around two families in Rajasthan. But this photograph is not about the play the dress this girl is wearing. Dress and jewellery is typical Rajasthani style and whole world is fan of this. Although happy expressions would have been better, but overall this photograph touched my heart and thought of sharing it here.

Can you read expressions - What does this expression say?

One of my friend was here in Noida with his son. I also met him for very short span of time and clicked few photographs. Out of all, I really loved this expression although I don't know what it conveys. Do you have any idea?

Sunil Upadhyay - One of the fine actors of National School of Drama, Delhi, INDIA

This photograph was clicked during one of the recent plays by Ranjit Kapoor. It was PANCHLIGHT, a story about a bihar village with no light and people want to a have a panchlight in their village. Story starts with a love story where boy meets the girl in fields and they had some signals to indicate the presence to each other.

Sunil Upadhyay dictated various scenes from this play in a very interesting way... I have been watching his plays for last three years and a huge fan of this person. Although it's really difficult to compare actors of NSD Repretory with other.

'The Gift' story of 'Chekhov ki Duniya' play by Ranjeet Kapoor

This week NSD Repertory was performing 'Chekhov ki Duniya', directed by famous Director Ranjeet Kapoor. This play is based on various stories of Chekhov. Staging of the Hindi play titled 'Chekhov Ki Duniya' directed by Ranjit Kapoor. Chekhov Ki Duniya is a collection of six short stories by Chekhov. 'Cheenk' is one of the six stories shown in this play and it's filled with irony. It includes The Sneezer, who cannot apologize enough to a blustering general for splattering a sneeze on his head during one of the play they went for. 'Dooba Hua Aadmi' is the story of a man who earns by 'drowning.' Shikari shows a man-about-town using a husband as the conduit for his attempted seduction of the man's new bride... There are few more where an assistant of a dentist want to become a doctor and trying to pull tooth of church-father... Most of the stories were presented in very interesting way and lot of stuff to laugh !!

Beautiful lady in Reshta @ Narkanda, Himachal Pradesh

During my recent trip to Himachal Pradesh, we were roaming around some villages in Narkanda region and having lunch at roadside. This lady was walking through the side-by road and I really liked her dress. I requested one of my friend to ask her in local language, that if we could click one photograph. She happily agreed and I was delighted to have a shot of this lovely dress called 'Reshta' !!!

Himachali Marriage - Nitin and Naina

Here is a photograph of a sweet Himachali  Couple. Typically Himachali Marriages happen in three days with lots of ceremonies at Bride's as well as Groom's place. On first day (Maaine), relatives and friends start arriving. Some celebrations happen during the evening of the first day and this night is considered as very special for youngsters (probably a simpler version of bachelor's party :) ). Next day is more about formal gatherings, pooja and Barat. The Second Night is typically the time when actual marriage takes place. The Third day is celebrated in different ways in various parts of Himachal. In Kangra, it's called as 'Chhod' and 'Dham' is also commonly used in Hamirpur & Mandi...

Most of the times marriages take place at home, but the trend is slowly changing where the main ceremony takes place in marriage halls, that are more approachable to everyone...
