Me and Acting ?????

All the world's a stage,And all the men and women merely players!!!!

Well, Chennai is new to me.... or so I claim it to be. Pushed into this huge city from my very much loved Goa....all for the sake of a monthly salary.

Practically nothing to do on weekends, I'd sleep the whole day through. Well frankly speaking, I guess most of us do so. However, weekends were no longer boring from the start of the month of August. In fact, they became hectic. Too hectic!!! I got pulled into THEATRE!!!!!!! That word sounds so crazy to me till date. I don’t know how and why but I agreed to play a role in the maiden venture of Rebelz Entertainment.Saturdays and Sundays almost became non existent holidays.... it was another 9-6 job, wherein we practiced for the "D Day".

Then the day finally arrived... scared like a mouse, I looked as the actors delivered their dialogues without any flaws. I was scared I would forget mine and cause a riot :). I had to fight the several urges to run away and sit amongst the audience and laugh and cry along with them, rather than being the one making them do so. Life seemed much easier in the former. But I had come so far and only a few more steps were left to be taken. And then my part began. I could feel the shiver in my hands and the quiver in my voice, but all that vanished after the first line.

I did a fair job, I gave it my best. That’s all I can say. Anybody points fingers at me and pat will be the reply "Hey, I’m a Beginner!". Not that I can’t take criticism, but the truth is, I'd hate them. All do... even the Oscar winners. And after all, I'm just a beginner :)
