Dear Ratan,

Sorry for the late reply. What i think of ‘Level 1 – Batch 19′ is something i cannot describe in simple words. Nevertheless i shall try. I sincerely believe it was comprehensive, unique, fun, explorative and interesting. It tested our every emotion to the fullest. The icing on the cake was you Ratan. Undoubtedly. A wonderful teacher and a great human being. We were happy to respect every word you uttered. It was a pleasure inculcating your ever so valuable tips into our little sphere of things.

You made sure you kept giving us little bursts of confidence every now and then. When we were down and low, you never failed to make us feel important with your ever so encouraging words. When at ‘Misfit’ i felt special and important. I was made to believe that i had the potential to act. To exhibit every emotion without being apprehensive of looking stupid. My confidence grew each and day and i never realised how time flew by and eventually one day the workshop had come to an end.

‘Misfit’ will be an important part of my life. Today. Tomorrow. Forever. It taught me the basics of acting. It taught me how to emote. How to carry myself on and off stage. It taught me how to laugh at myself. And how to laugh and share other people’s happiness as well. To sum it up, Misfit made me feel like an actor and above all a complete human being.

I made new friends. I met new people. I exhanged new ideas. I was complimented whenever i performed well and encouraged everytime i missed the target. It was a carnival like atmosphere. Every Monday-Wednesday-Friday. 7pm -9 pm. Something i will always cherish, miss and respect.

I feel i have not done justice to the feedback that i am expected to give. Mere words aren’t sufficient. I need a canvas. A paint brush and water colors. My experience at Misfit was not an experience i can put behind me and move on. It is a painting. A collage of colours, joy, happiness and self satisfaction. Something that will be imprinted in my memory as a picturesque painting. Something that’ll turn into an antique with time.

Warm Regards,
Arjun Kamath.
