a 'dramatic' evening

Yasaswini and me went to a tamil play today evening. Put up by the company recreation club,it was the latest of skits by the 'crazy mohan' troupe. I have so far never seen any of his dramas live. One sees so many of them on the tv, that it appears very familiar territory.
The names of lead characters are always madhu and cheenu and those of the lady is always janaki and mythili. The plot is simple and laced with good clean fun and pun with words.It is almost like being with a group of friends in a marriage function, cracking jokes and letting time pass swiftly by.
This time the theme was about madhu contemplating marrying a christian girl, who was his next seat neighbour in a typewriting class. I remembered my time in a typewriting institute , and recall that it was the only place where girls and boys could meet and it was a hot bed of romance.So you can see the story set in a time when madhu and cheenu were in their teens;a real blotting paper memory.

I enjoyed being asked to come on stage and offer felicitations to 'crazy mohan'.
