Clean and Green

Not a garbage dumping site!!

Last Sunday Theju, Sandy and I spent our day with a group called “Clean and Green”. The group is about 5 months old and its aim is to help in removing plastic from some of the major tourist spots near Bangalore. They have been making day long trips to Sangam(Mekedattu) and Pearl Valley for a while now.

Theju found details about the event in the Bangalore Community on Orkut. I frankly did not know what to expect when I signed up for the event but the events of the day and the whole experience rejuvenated me in many ways.

Theft – A Play

I had the pleasure of catching Eric Chappel’s play Theft yesterday at Rangashankara. The play is a laugh riot and if there is one play to watch this one is pretty much it. I hv seen 3 plays in the last 8 days and this one I enjoyed more than the other two.

Top Cast professionalism on the stage was shown by the echoing laughter in the audience. The play is over 2 hrs long and at the end you just dont want it to stop…

The play is about a couple who return from their anniversary party with a couple of old friends to realize that their home has been burgled. The catch is that the thief is still in the house and hiding without their knowledge. The play swirls slowly into the lives of the four characters each reveled by conversations with the thief(who gets caught). The thief is amazingly good at talking his way out of situations and lives up to his name of “Greasy” Spriggs.
