Ruchi and the NDA

Posted by deepakmorris at 01:27 PM on July 24, 2007

Ruchi (no name change here, she needs to know that she is one I respect) found me by googling me. She asked a friend about theatre in Pune and he mentioned my name so she googled me and found me.

That's no big deal.

What's big is what happened after that.

While still in a workshop series, I got a request to stage Business Is War at the National Defence Academy (NDA) and I cast Ruchi as Mrs. Daga.

Sure, she had performed before a hundred or two while in college.

Suddenly, she was performing before 2,000 cadets, arranged in three rows before the stage.

She did it in style.

Later she confessed that her knees were figuratively knocking. But she performed, and in style.

Thank you, Ruchi.
