The message for the day:

“I hate you! You are absolutely despicable,you’ve taken the fun away” – said the woman, as she walked up to me, while i was sitting in my regular coffee shop. I was quite stunned. She pulled the chair, next to mine and sat down (without being asked). She looked straight into my eyes, and said : Woman: How could you have done this to me?Me: Done what?…Sorry, but who are you?Woman: Don’t you recognize me? I did one of the MISFIT courses, 5 years back.Me: Hmm…(trying to recollect)Woman: I have been wanting to do the level 2 course, but you’ve have moved so far away, that it will not be possible, even though i am so so very keen. The time spent in traveling — and getting back late, would definitely make my husband, leave me.Me: Ahhh,,,(trying to find words,as age is catching up)Woman: Mr. Thakore, you keep talking about “making acting and theatre accessible to people”. Please please please….start a course, somewhere in a central place.Mr Thakore,lets get the fun back.

This little conversation with my student, made me realize, that i was going against my very objective. Thus, the good news for all aspiring level 2 students is that the new Level 2 course, will happen in one of the most central locations (NEAR CUNNINGHAM ROAD): “Ashvasan” – Smriti Nandan Cultural Centre, “Nanda-Deep”, 15/3, Palace Road, Bangalore – 560052.
