I haven’t acted in a rather long time, though I have been helping out a lot of groups with their performances. And my last acting performance was a disaster, by my standards. Consequently, I have developed a certain fear of, and an aversion to getting up on stage. So when

Again was very nervous at the start with Ratan scaring us in the first class. But it kept getting better and better with some serious acting and critical feedbacks. On my side, I was able to pick up some of the learnings I has missed in my Level 1. Also
