When in Chennai!!

It’s been 4 months since I came back to Chennai. But this time around in the four months the weekends have been more memorable, entertaining. I had been to movies, food hubs, pubs, discos, but the most entertaining and memorable one till date has been going to watch Theatrical performances.

I never had been a big fan of the plays in India even though I have been to some before this. The one’s where the color, lighting (actually over lighting) and music are used to attract people rather than the theme. Mainly it will be absolutely ridiculous fiction or a part of some religious mythology. The kinds of street plays had always fascinated me in how they convey some message without any of these artificial sweeteners, where the dialogue delivery and acting has the utmost importance.

I had been lucky enough to get the chance to go to two such events organized by evam a cultural organization “Butter and Mashed Banana” and “Art”. I didn’t have much of expectations set when I went there because of my above prejudgment about Indian plays. But it turned out that I was completely wrong and that this was the same kind which I liked the most. No artificial sweeteners at all.

Let me talk about evam before I go into the details of the plays.

From their website

“Evam is envisioned to be a stress busting factory – capable of conceiving and delivering an entertaining tale to its audience, in whatever medium it deems suitable– theatre, television or cinema, or delectable combinations of them all!
Currently active in the form of live theatre content; shows for public, corporate’s and fund-raisers, we pride ourselves as an entertaining and engaging marketing communications media for our brand partners!
At Evam, we bust your stress. ps: and have a ball doing it!”

evam is an entertainment factory as they put it providing wholesome entertainment over the weekends. They have their own productions like “Oh God!”, “The Odd Couple”, “Art”, “Always look on the bright side of life!”, “five point someone”, “Hamlet (spoof)”, “And now for Something completely different!”. They also bring good productions from other theatrical group such of the likes of “Butter and Mashed Banana”. evam is not just restricted to doing programs in Chennai rather they do it all over.

So if you are in Chennai and want to do something and enjoy check out if Evam has some entertainment lined up.

Will update you on the plays I saw in my next blog.

Cheers!!!

Challenge to Indian action packed hotshot movie stars..

I was watching a movie by the name "Shoot 'em Up" the other day. One heck of a movie, a complete time pass. Finally a competition for our own superstars (Rajni in South and then Mithun da in east, Sunny deol in North etc etc) and this time competition beats our very own SUPERSTAR's handsdown.

Laws of trigonometry

Laws of physics

The above laws of physics and trigonometry by Rajni and all of the Newtons laws were broken in the movie. Its a movie in which carrots kill. An action packed thriller which you will enjoy laughing.

Watch "Shoot 'eM UP" to enjoy these SUPERSTAR's being beaten in their area or expertise by miles.

NB: Carrots are injurious to health.

Verdict: Awmus movie for time pass and a good laugh.

Disclaimer: This is not a movie promotion.

Go watch the movie for the blog to make sense, If you missed it get a DVD.

Cheers

People are strange - The Doors

People are strange when
you're a stranger
Faces look ugly when you're alone
Women seem wicked when you're unwanted
Streets are uneven when you're down

When you're strange
Faces come out of the rain
When you're strange
No one remembers your name
When you're strange
When you're strange
When you're strange

People are strange when
you're a stranger
Faces look ugly when you're alone
Women seem wicked when you're unwanted
Streets are uneven when you're down

When you're strange
Faces come out of the rain
When you're strange
No one remembers your name
When you're strange
When you're strange
When you're strange

When you're strange
Faces come out of the rain
When you're strange
No one remembers your name
When you're strange
When you're strange
