Thank you Vinod and Rajan for taking time to read my post…..
In today’s world, the generation gap is narrowed down quite a lot…the youngsters are more matured now and the senior people are more understanding and are ready to accept the youngsters, but there are some conservatives around who just refuse to change…and that usually spells danger…….
A similar situation could have been handled in different way, if only it could……
Example
I peeped in and said. “Is Niroo in?” A man in late fifty’s came forward.
“Yes? What can I do for you?”
“Oh. I was wondering about this drama, what time will it commence?”
“It will start at around 7:30, can you come in a bit later, we are busy right now?”
“I will be interested. I could write about your play in our magazine ‘Beyond Sindh’” I said, just to start a conversation.
“Beyond Sindh? Oh yes I have heard about it. We did get featured in that magazine once. Are you associated with that magazine?”
“I am, actually I am the Mumbai correspondent for that magazine. Were you covered in our magazine? That’s nice. There have been so many articles already. I might have missed yours.”
He goes and brings the Xerox copies of the article to confirm his presence. “See I have got that published.”
“Oh yes I believe you.”
“Would you like to see this play? There is a ticket of rupees fifty, would you prefer to buy it?”
“Yeah, maybe I might come back later”.
“Okay, we have to organize the set and we are quite busy, I hope you will excuse us.”
“On the second thought, why don’t I offer you a special entrance pass. Please, I would love if you could accept the invitation.”
“Oh no! You have already been featured in our magazine. This time I was thinking of writing a review of your play.”
“But still I insist that you accept our invitation.”
I hold the invitation card proudly and decide not to attend the 'Celebrate Bandra' afterall the festival is going to be there for next 15days and this is just three days..
Next day, I send them a thank-you note and a positive review on their play so that people who had missed it, would make sure that they did not miss it when the play was staged again.
What I mean to say is that ‘Nothing is free….it is only the attitude that matters..
Humility goes the long way…..
