Last year, I visited the Comic Con in Mumbai. For the uninitiated, Comic Con is a place where geeks meet up to share their geekiness. It’s…the place where your unnecessarily deep knowledge about the lore of a video game makes you somewhat of a genius. People also cosplay, which is basically dressing up as your favourite character from a comic, or a video game, or an anime. ¶ I was fumbling my way through the masses of people, and I came across this girl holding a carrying tray with a neck-strap snugly held around her neck. She was about 5’ 3”, a little plump and wearing something akin to the traditional Dutch attire.

Play Review: 07/07/07
Venue: Prithvi Theatre, Juhu, MumbaiThis certainly isn’t the best play I have ever watched; actually it won’t even make it into the top five. But by golly, did it make me think long and hard! ¶ I’d go as far as comparing it with popular AR Rahman music in the sense that even in the short, unbroken span of 90 odd minutes, the characters in the play grow on you and take you further and further into their worlds till you start rooting for or against them.
