That's a theatre festival. A competition at that too! And I was lucky to be part of this..
No this isn't like a humble sounding cliche that I'm employing here. My honour, the moment of my life, really proud and lucky no no adalla. This colleague of mine was sposd to take part in it along with somebody else, and that person dropped out. So he asked me! Cos I'd taken part in a coupla other plays before that and he liked my sense of humor and timing etc
Alex Broun is the guy who started Short + Sweet in Blr. The concept is of a bunch of plays, each of duration 10 minutes. The audience gets to vote what they thought was the best. There are judges too, and they pick as well. And eventually there's a final. Spread across 2 weekends, the winners from the first weekend and the second weekend battle it out for glory and money! :)
Ah, Personal Satisfaction..Where'd YOU been?? marte hogittu nin bagge..idellaadr madhya, maatinalli kaaNskoLo neenu, ninna nijavada mahatva enu annodu ondu yaksha prashne...na? Gottilla, prati obbrgu ondondu I guess..If you say Personal Satisfaction ranks low then you're judging the other person yeah? It's almost no use to ask somebody else...a short pause later they'll of course say "For the love of theatre" or "The kick of it all" or "Just to put up a good show" etc etc This is the (pro)verbial front for each of their inner ambitions/goals, ene irli adu.
Coming back to Broun. Mayuresh (said colleague) and I put up this play called Sardine. It's about 2 friend sipping beer in a bar, one narrating a weird date that he had (where the girl sang a poem about the dicks of 2 other guys she had dated previously, ON THE DATE) ; the other thinking one of the guys in the poem is his good friend, who's narrating his own bad fate, and in a bid to console his friend, ends up revealing too much info. Hah!
