BLOG ge haaki, Sharmila

* Gave the auditions for the role VATSALA

ma mind-> sumne time pass....lets go home n eat...m hungry...

why r ppl sssooo serious??? [looking at maadhurya and i think it was darshan on the other end of the hall rehearsing lines with his friends]

* Got into the shoes of RAAJI with a little hesitation.

ma mind-> WTF if not Vatsala gimme a Veda man...why this loud Raaji.... and oh oooh wait ssssoooo many dialogs!!! nnnooo way m doin this!

*Gradually learnt a few intresting things about RAAJI, felt more confident and den proud to play the character!

ma mind -> Oh this one is actualy easier than dancing and giving those shy smiles and wierd girly expressions! good raaji i like it yours ;) paapa surabhi heheheh <evil smiles>

SHOW TIME:

3 back-to-back shows:

* Enjoyed the audience responding live to my performance. Speacially "pongalla!" hahah

* 4 sarees in 1 hr, a tight tied knot, mallige moLa around it and ssoo many people helping with make-up, costumes and property! Felt like a princess even with grey hair lol.

4th show :

*HIghly nervous ,least confident, hell concious!

ma mind -> gimme a chance to kill surabhi... auLiddidre I wudnt have had the trouble of playin Vatsala thu aden kharma no <frustrated big tym>

After the 1st scene and the audience response, totally turned into vatsala with no second thoughts

ma mind-> Audiences are all are sooo encouraging.... Kuldeep already audience na paTaaysbiTTa....i shudnt b spoiling his limelight.... Vatsala here i come yeay!HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE smile on ma face after the BOW in de end!

As an ending note would like to say

"I have experienced the joy of being in raaji's shoes, missed her badly while playing vatsala, gradually enjoyed being vatsala.....all in all totally loved the experience of knowing the characters from so close and the process of knowing the REAL ME while understanding the people around!"

Thank you very much to the WHOLE HOSABELAKU TEAM.
