Chalo Haste Hain

‘Zindagi itni bhi asaan nahi k koi chain se jee jaye, magar itni bhi mushkil nahi ke koi bina afsos mar jaye’

‘Da for Diary’ the play which Rommy planned to watch to kill the laziness of Sunday afternoon and we four accompanied him in his brave decision. But instead of killing our laziness it loaded us with more boredom which we removed from our shoulders with a good evening stroll in CP afterwards. I somehow managed to survive the torturous play  but you can better ask Neiha, who I think took full advantage of the AC facilities of the auditorium and slept peacefully during half of the show or you can ask Ashish who asked ‘kina time ho geya yaar’ around 5-6 times during the one and half hour play.

The play started on a lighter note from two school children’s daily life. They took on diary writing while taking example of Anne Frank tragedy writing (A Jewish girl who wrote a diary about her experiences while in the hideouts during the world war-2, which became quite famous when her father published it in 1947 after Anne’s death). The best thing of the play was the performances by the 3 leads of the play who played multiple characters. And the worst thing was that the theme and plot of the story was not clear, it went up-down on the topics of happiness & tragedies. But till the very end of the show we didn’t get to know about the moral of the story, what they wanted to convey. Whether it’s about spreading happiness or it’s about tragedies of life. Let aside the moral of the play, it was not at all entertaining.

As the people say ‘There is always something to learn from everyone and everything’. The theme song of the play ‘Chalo Haste Hain’ was pretty good, that’s different if the play being a comedy play still unable to make us giggle. With this song they tried to pull out laughter from the tragedies, though unsuccessfully (But at-least they tried, so we can also). And the second thing is the dialogue which was repeated twice in the play ‘Zindagi itni bhi asaan nahi k koi chain se jee jaye, magar itni bhi kushkil nahi ke koi bina afsos mar jaye’ (Life is not that easy that one can live with a complete peace, but it’s not that difficult also to do suicide without any sadness’). I am sure this will be helpful to motivate at least some of them who try to finish this god’s gift on their own.

All in all the play was not that bad for the first time experience. Oh, sorry I forgot to mention one more thing which we learned from there…

Pooooo…….!!!!!!!
