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?

'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 !!

SUMMER THEATRE FESTIVAL 2011 ended with KAFKA !!!

Recently I have been following the great Indian Theatre event in Delhi. This happened at National School of Drama and known as SUMMER THEATRE FESTIVAL 2011 !!! This festival started in May month of 2011 and ended in June with last play as 'Kafka - Ek Adhyay'.

I also invited two of my friends to join for this play and I felt bad when I realized that it was very serious play. Most of the times, it's always better to watch comedy play to start. Or at least something which is not very serious. Kafka was exactly opposite :) Now I have committed to take them for some good comedy play. But I really enjoyed the whole Summer Theatre Festival 2011 and watched all the plays this time. My Favorite from all the plays is 'Jaat hi Poocho Sadhu Ki' and 'begum ka takia' was the play which I watched third time.
