Lo'rrr've and all

I am neck deep in the preparation for Sankalp 2006, the annual play at college.I have been missing meals for it , if that is any indicator of the level of my commitment.(of course that is not bereft of my own vested interests,that of blah blah and blah.)It has engrossed me so much because this is where two 'loves' of my life, Theatre and Fashion converge.And Brand management is the jealous mistress.I wish i find a job like that.

I am following the beaten track, they caught me in post graduation.Not very long ago, I mean after twelfth I wrote the NIFT exam and cleared it, but was discouraged to take it up , 'coz parents thought it was not 'propah' enough ,or serious enough for a profession.I had to give my lo'rr've up.I find solace in the fact that I did not take up engineering(very much against my parents heartfelt wishes).But what was engineering's loss came to be management's gain.And part of it is me.I played it safe,by not venturing into designing that is.We all want to be safe isn't it, so did I.It seemed to be a gamble then.But i really wanted to be so many things , apart from an MBA,and what is an MBA. It is a degree after all. You don't even become an MBA, like say you become a Doctor.So what do you become, moolah chasers?I did it for several reasons I bet.

'Bali' by Girish Karnad, the renowned Indian playwright, writer,Actor , is the play for which I am designing the costumes. The scale of the play is larger than any other event at MICA ,except for MICANVAS.Its so much activity packed in the month of November.But what is worth mentioning is the passion , the gusto with which all MICA works towards it.It starts in the weather when you start feeling a slight nip in the air and goes up to the point where its spine-chilling cold.Undoubtedly it is the best time of the year for reasons more than one.
