Quoting William Shakespeare, "All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players: they have their exits and their entrances, and one man in his time plays many parts, his acts being seven ages." On World Theatre Day, theatre artists turned television actors, currently seen on various shows, share their undying love for theatre and their fond memories. These include Vibhuti Narayan Mishra (Aasif Sheikh) and Manmohan Tiwari (Rohitashv Gour) of Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai, Daroga Happu Singh (Yogesh Tripathi), Rajesh Singh (Kamna Pathak) and Katori Amma (Himani Shivpuri) of Happu Ki Ultan Paltan.
Aasif Sheikh, aka Vibhuti Narayan Mishra, comments, "This day is a celebration for those who can see the value and importance of the art form.

Written & Directed by Ruchika Oberoi
Urban Desolation is not an easy subject to put on screen, especially when you are looking at fusing fluency with blitheness, as debutant director Ruchika Oberoi bravely does in this heartwarming homage to the spirit of cheerless solitude in the urban jungle. The subject is far easier to pin down in a non-urban setting, as was the case with Mrinal Sen’s Khandhar where Shabana Azmi as Jamini portrayed emotional and spiritual desolation with heartbreaking veracity.
Tannishtha Chatterjee is no less heartbreaking in the third story entitled ‘Contact’ in Ruchika Oberoi’s 3-tier tribute to urban desolation. Tannishtha’s Aarti (pitch-perfect after that oddly displaced and shrill performance last week in UnIndian) is Everywoman, the kind of nondescript faceless suburban non-entity whom you wouldn’t give a second glance in a crowd. Everyday Aarti takes the same route to work,...
