Heyo.. well it's been awhile I visited this 'personal' space of mine. More of public advertisement of my personal life. But i either case, couple of things filled my usually eventless life. Many things affected me. Some caused elation while others really caused a tear or two. So i'll try to list as many as my attention can possibly last.
THE PILLOWMAN
I don't know if many of you have heard of this play but it's absolutely-
fucking great. Initially all I know of this play is that it's black comedy and it's really and awesome piece of work;critically acclaimed and unbelievably incredible. And then, I saw that it's 2hrs and 45min and I nearly pulled out. That's equivalent to a damn bollyhood movie and I am not the sort to leave amidst a play, so if it's going to be darn boring, I am gona be utterly bored outa my wits!But truth be told, it was one of the best intellectual/mindfucking plays I have ever seen. My mind was still reeling the next days with the little stories in the play itself, and the manner in which each character breaks and rebuilds themselves. It's amazing. mindboggling. fingernail-biting good.
This is another play i caught recently at the Action Theatre. Firtly I have to express my awe at the beauty of the place. Damn! I loved the whole set up. The cosiness of it all. I still dream of Liberal Dreamz official launch there. It's such a cosy and beautiful place. Not to mention classy. The right kinda image for the company. okay okay.. back to the play.
This play about abusive relationships specifically lesbian relationship really caught my attention. I never really thought much physical abuse or anykind of abuse takes place in a same-sex r/s. I might be naive but i just cannot comprehend the idea of one women hurting another women in the name of love. Alot of social issues were evoked withing me while watching this play. The reason for women to bear with their male counterpart's atrocities was the idea that society have ingrained in all of us. Man is stronger than woman. But for a woman to take the same kinda abuse from anther woman in the name of 'love' was an image i can barely put in my head. But I guess there's more to life and people and ,more importantly, the mind than we'll ever know. Psychology is ever evolving and so are human beings. A chase for the understanding never seems to end.
This write up speaks of what I felt but more thoroughly -http://inkpot.com/theatre/07reviews/0817,hittonwome,kk.html
THE OFFICE
As the title suggests, it's amazing that liberaldreamz has her very own office now. It's quite a big step. You can actually see the growth and feel the need to be there for her all the time. The mind's always thinking of how to make her feel better. Liberaldreamz's like a child to me. Pieced together with hope and love, it's alot of Faith that's keeping it together.
I think the communication between Ad and I is amazing and I can't think of a better person to have LiberalDreamz with. The office is a huge step. To see your dream materialise into something more than just images in your head can be quite alarming together with unbearable pride and elation. It's a lil scary, to put simply. Uncertainty and doubts about all things important and not. Emotions that can stand barrier to practicality. But i guess that's where team work comes to play. Takin a step back and understanding the situation and keeping one motivated, in this case keeping the two of us motivated. It'll be great! not mediocre.. Cause liberaldreamz is the brainchild of not just one of us, but two of us combined. And the formula spells perfection!
THE PEOPLE
You know, recently I looked around myself and started seeing how the people who've always been in life relate to me now. Some who have been friends, no longer seem so. And strangers seem closer. It's pretty darn disturbing how quicky life changes people, and how in turn, people change lives.
I've changed immensely. My wants and needs. My view and actions. Where I want to be and what I want to do. Everything about me evolved slowly to mould me into a different Ju who still encompass of the same ol JU also. It's a blend of old and new. Ok.. mayb just a lil improvement on the old JU.
But the point is, people who are considered close to me, don't seem to share the same insight as me anymore. And although it used to be really disappointing and sometimes painful, I realised, this is how life is. People change and one must allow for the growth. And when sometimes when you don't see eye to eye in on one area of conversation, ignore the topic. No use tryin to wish someone is just like you. I am learning to let go and acknowledge that people who are close to me are just different. To ask for me of them, is not fair to them. But it's so damn hard tho to accept that. But i'm trying.
THE WEDDINGS
There are so many weddings of close friends and families; of people that are in the same age group as me. It's really nice to hear that they have chosen someone to share their life with but I hope it doesn't alert my parents to the fact that they have a daughter too. I mean, you know how indian families are? Me being in my 20s now means only one thing; auctioning me off to the most eligible bachelor! If my parents start arranging meet-ups with different guys, I will pretend to throw theh biggest tantrum of my life! I am so not up for this kinda step; and possibly will NEVER be ready. I am so happy where i am now!
It really doesn't help that my own cousin's getting married in a few days time. And another one of my poly mate's tying the know at the end of the month. Both of whom are not much older than I am. My parents are so going to get ideas and I can just imagine the embarrasing conversations I am going to be subjected to. Call me traditional; call me shy.. but I don't really fancy talking about my love life with my parents. Especially when i don't exactly have one!
Okay so there..that's so far the main topics in my head. other than that, nothing out of the ordinary. And of course I left some things out because I'd rather leave em private.
