THE SUBSTATION ---- ROMANCE @ " THE WALL "

Coming close to celebrating 1st b'day in 'Singapura' ,life so far has treated me fairly.Clarke quay is the place to hang around and happens to be the only "to do list" after a period which is also countered by humidity hiding good number of people inside home.I had my own interests to start with golf classes for beginner's for couple of months- thanks to the corporate discount for making it affordable and then the 'dream come true' to watch F-1 live and ofcourse met new people but more on professional interests,some new friends but not keen on making close friends as "career and confusion" rules at this point of time.Well i have come too far going back to the first month was when i spoke to that girl 'Narayini(not the real name)' helped by my friend prasad who is currently into something called 'zen habits'(whatever!!!) as an emergency contact for any help in singapore,while i did so but then never had a chance or thought to ring frequently.The same friend then forwared some theatre video which he acted (Oh i still hear that heroic voice) called 'Ramgarh ka sholay' focussing the RTI act in Minessota with Indian community(was a good one).I was keen to attend a similar one live and what a surprise received first ever theatre invitation for " KATHAAH" at the substation.Thanks to Narayini(name not real )again for remembering me and also sending an invite.Curious as ever i made sure i grabbed a ticket for sunday evening show.Combination of Tagore's -Kabuliwala,R.K.Narayan's - second opinion and the all exciting Basheer's Wall.Asusual humid evening entering the theatre, really aged but traditional of its kind was looking for that voice i used to hear on the phone(the same Narayani who will come later). Kabuliwala with the child, Mom and the provoking but hilarious son had their share of credit with an impressive display in part 1 and part2.


While i already made up my mind to grab chances like this which are more lively came a voice - announcing part 3 - The Wall , it is the same voice which dominated the show in the end.Basheer the hero enters the prison for writing something meets some people and one happened to be his friend and life goes on, a sudden release order message from the warden(the hilarious son of part 2 did not disappoint as a warden) .While everyone prepared to go Basheer ended up alone not being released , the crowd could witness the agony which lead to an escape plan.Never good in reading books i thought the story is about "the wall" he is going to jump to escape came the "voice" again.I along with the crowd was as curious as Basheer looking around as there was no one around,it actually came throught the wall in Basheer's cell , it was the heroine crying, while the hero smartly intruded by saying hello and the conversation continued by introducing eash other etc etc.Rejuvenated Basheer forgot his escape plan as he was busy exchanging dialouges and flowers thru the window in the cell.The dialogues continued ,made us laugh when it should and romance boomed, continued for one year that everyday a small stick will pop-up in that window an indication that the romance will continue with both talking to "the wall".The moment came when they decided to meet and the crowd was really hoping the see that lady prisoner "Narayini".Basheer and Narayini decided to work out a plan and came an opportunity to meet at the hospital prison, the signal planned was the same stick.The day came and the stick came out but in vain as Basheer was given a release order, the "voice of Narayani" which ruled the romance @ wall could no longer be heard and it was silence thru the wall bringing the curtain down @ the substation with touching moments of Narayini calling "basheer..." through the wall.

While part-3 ended - the enigma around the Narayini character lasted till the end when the entire cast was introduced with everyone waiting for the name Narayini who happened to be instrumental in making "kathaah" .I made sure to meet her after the show , it was mind blowing and hats OFF to the crew.


My second opinion was how good a movie based on wall would go , will it outclass Rajiv menon's 'kandukondein kandukondein' ? , while i can definitely bet on it at this point the best i could do is express Narayini's love for Basheer in tunes and a recent love theme i heard was apt(copy paste the link) to express Narayini's feeling's(her tone made it all) that we heard

while there are different versions of this tune i chose this one which suits what i witnessed.

The other convincing part was that the money charged for tickets was given to some charity....

It was a fantastic evening...I am not in banstand as the picture is to write a script with the tune
