GASP

I never thought that I’ll be able to do a full length play after leaving school but fortunately I had the privilege of being a member of the theatre group of SP Jain – the Guild of Actor @ SP (GASP). Even though I was a part of the production team, the experience of being a part of a team doing a play was simply phenomenal. It provided the team an escape from the banality of the daily schedules, from the boring lectures and the useless assignments. It gave us all something to look forward to every evening. To top it all up we were privileged to pick up a classic – “Evam Indrajit” which gave us all enough food for thought during this period. Actually it still is.

The poetry with which the “Writer” memerises everyone and raises pertinent questions highlights the beauty of the play. The monologues (specially towards the end of each act) are amazingly scripted bringing to the fore the struggle that each one of us go through. We all know about these struggles and want to escape, want to be different but can’t do so. Yes, as the writer himself says – “And yet there is no escape”.

I’m really glad that I could be a part of the team and do this exceptional play. Maybe these 3 months will be the best that I’ll spend at SP this will be the best memory that I’ll take with me from SP. J
