What's with the nautanki????

Ummmm....Yes as usual we've landed ourselves in a sort of mess again.
-sighs-
In a span of about 25 days approx. we are preparing our kids for a Nautanki for the upcoming Annual Day function.
:|
Right....started off with an idea of mine to do a play based on the famous Fun story 'Gopi Gawaiyya , Bagha Bajaiyaa' written by famous director Satyajit Ray's grandpa...which he turned into a Bengali movie years later.
So, what exactly does such a task involve?
Well....the recipe needs.....a lot of creativity, some craziness...make that LOADS of craziness, some great heads to make up an appropriate script,a huge amount of patience and some weird acting skills, some talented and uninhibited seven-year-olds, hours of practicing, some sore throats by the end of it.......and A LOUD APPLAUSE.....and hopefully a standing ovation....if I'm not asking for too much.
-fingers crossed-
The script has turned out brilliant.....I'll probably save it to remind myself how brilliant we 4 turned out to be.
-smug grin-
Sheh I'm tired already....and I gotta work.
Will continue in a couple of days.
Adios~
