Dear Friends of Deep and mine (I know doesnt sound right grammatically), <br>I am Palak. I am sure weve met if nowhere else..then on the dance floor! if not Hi! <br>I am usually silent in the social emails but i read most of them...i am getting into it slowly...<br>
so this is my contribution to the Social for now. <br>I am promoting a play - An Indian Folk Musical - a story of a 'Daku' - dacoit (i learnt that this is not an american word) - so someone who robs/kills people for money...lives like a vagabond...in the jungles/forests. His name is Sultana. So the play is called 'Sultana Daku'. He was one of the most notorious dacoit in earlier times. This is a piece of fiction created around him.<br>
<br>Why am i promoting it - <br><br>1. It is a 'nautanki' - a form of Indian theater that is even hard to find in India<br><br>2. Our music director and cast comprises of very very talented and hardworking singers and actors<br>
<br>3. It is extremely dynamic, aesthetically pleasing and an experience you dont want to miss. <br><br>4. Its not that expensive - 15$ if you get your tix before March 7th (thats today!!! :( ) if not march 20th. <br><br>
5. It has two shows in hayward CalState - close to sf...and one in redwood city (attached flyer has the details)<br><br>6. I am in it! (ok thats really not the selling point...coz my role is really small ..but i do what i love the most in the play - i dance!!!!! - but if anyone wants to come to see me on stage..great !! :)<br>
<br><br>we will have synopsis for our non hindi speaking friends since its entirely in 'hindi' <br>The information is attached..you can either buy tickets online..or i can save them for you.whatever works...<br><br>
so write back to me if you are interested or have questions (<a href="mailto:palak.joshi@gmail.com">palak.joshi@gmail.com</a>) or go buy tix online...if you cant make it...dont forget to send it to your friends!IT WILL BE A FEAST FOR YOUR EYES if nothing else<br>
