So we are back after a while. Been on the threshold of a weekend. Weekends are generally difficult to resist. Especially the thought that one won't have to see office for two days in a row brings a reasonable amount of cheer. And one doesn’t really feel so obliged to write for a blog at such a moment, right?
Hehe..anyways, the weekend saw its own share of sports affairs. The IPL 2 bonanza finally ended. The Deccan Chargers piped the Royal Challengers Bangalore. I can only feel for the cheerleaders!!! Dancing in the cold winds of South Africa in their skimpy attire can be indeed chilly and challenging, isn't it? Wish the RCB had won. At least the party would have been longer. Not that Deccan Chargers had Bad Cheerleaders. But still I always have a soft corner for Mallya's ladies. Thank God, Mallya didn't peck Katrina on her cheeks like he did last time around. A nation would have been in uprising seeing that, I'm sure and many fuming, for sure. Still, two of last year's biggest losers turned out finalists this year. Some Revenge indeed...Kumble was mind-blowing as always, yet somewhere his men fell short. It wasn't like Deccan defeated Bangalore. Rather more like Bangalore defeated themselves. One needs grit and courage. Somehow they fell a little short of it.
On a personal note, I went to check out the movie: "Mee Shivaji Raje Bhosale Boltoy" aka "I'm Shivaji the King speaking"...a nice Marathi movie with some stupendous performances. Especially considering the crap that Marathi movies generally are, this one stood out in perfection. Very few such movies have actually made it to the top, all due to the acting prowess of the actors. Movies like Shwaas, Astitva, Mee Shivaji Raje Bhosale Boltoy, Chaukat Raja are in a league of their own. Shwaas was especially touching, whereas MSRBB was more thrilling and appealing. My folks are generally fond of plays. Those are better they say...For a change they liked MSRBB. Even I would agree I guess. But then the only problem is, Plays are normally held at the Kalidas once a while. And its best if you watch a play with a group of friend's. It’s more fun that way. Plays would outweigh Movies for me any day. Since the real acting skills are showcased only in Plays and Dramas. I always loved plays even at the school level. The thrill of keeping your audience glued to your character through acting is not an easy job, yet one would always strive to attain that perfection while avoid distraction from your audience. A friend of mine, a certain Mr. D’sa pulled off one such stunning performance at a School Play lately. Well, it was more of a Local Community Level function actually. Nevertheless, we completed the entire Skit, almost a half an hour affair, in a matter of a Day and a half with the Dialogues, Costumes, drama et al. Some achievement isn’t it? Especially with Mr. D’sa, came down all the way from Pune to act in the play on a short notice. Superb Job to say the Least. And the joy of your audience appreciating your performance on stage is something which Certificates and Degrees can't provide. Am I hinting at an alternate Career? Maybe Not literally, but somewhere down the line, I would love to be associated with Theatre. Personal Opinion, Period! :))
