Almost three years....... 3.

Almost three years....... 3.

Everything in our life has a saturation point however good that be....... So after working for 2 years with the group my mind started drifting from the work that I did with all my heart. I couldn’t work with my heart as time had put in all kinds of experiences with the group good and slightly not good but it was never bad. Also the reason being I wanted to be a director and never took acting seriously otherwise there would have been no reason for drift away from the group. Now, I wanted to complete my college properly as I was losing my grades and work as assistant director in films. So that I can fulfill my clichéd dream of joining films but the way I wanted to do was not right because I was not mature enough to handle breaking from people who had become so close to my heart. I am not saying it just to say because even today whenever I am working Baaji is the first person to come to my mind. If I get any appreciation I can tell my family they congratulate me they are proud of me but I feel uneasy until I have called Baaji and talked to her about what I did. And when she says Keep it up beta, I am proud of you......... I feel great because she is my guru, who has taught me everything I know. She has seen me when I didn’t even the alphabets properly. Now when I can speak even a single line I want to make her happy that her effort is not going waste.

I was in this confused state of mind not knowing what to do..... Just then one day I got a call from Baaji that she has heard that I wanted to quit Ekjute........ I said ‘no’ I never said that to anyone but yes I had said that I feel I have learnt a lot and now I wanted to concentrate on my college and after that want to join some film making course and then do films...... I went and met Baaji and told her what was true...... She said I was told you wanted to join some other theatre group...... I said ‘nooooooooooo’ . She said ok..... and advised me to be careful what I say .....

I was really surprised that she trusted me and didn’t ask anything else... only advised me...

Which is not a common practice as most people by listening to one side only decide what must be the truth....

Don’t know what to write but I just want to say on 7th December’09, I completed 3 years with Ekjute theatre group and the time I have spent with the group has really been fruitful and will really be an inspiration for my future.....

I want to be part of the group forever......

Thankyou everyone.....

For making me come back and back to the group.....

on 30th I had gone to meet everyone after 1 month or so.... just for one day....just to meet....

I have been going there regularly after that adjusting my work timings..... for a week now.... :-)


Anyone wanting to join theatre or even films should have a EKJUTE experience....

Cheers......
