About the Event:

This satirical play is the story of Mahipat, the protagonist, who struggles in his life to get even the simplest of recognitions and praise. He has to fight to get into college for a masters degree and even then manages to secure only a third division. When it comes to earning for himself, he is unable to find a job and so, tired of all hurdles and difficulties, he turns to ‘sifaarish’ and manages to secure a teaching job in some far-away, obscure village. But his troubles don’t end there. Is Mahipat only to be blamed for his situation or is his failure in life also in part a failure of the system? Watch the play and find out.

About the Event:

Directed By: SP Singh Senkar
Written By: Ajay Shukla

Taj Mahal Ka Tender is based on a hilarious burlesque about what would have been the fate of Shahjahan’s Taj Mahal had the emperor lived in present times? The persistent Shahjahan, in no mood to accept excuses for delays, sends the somnolent government’s construction department into tizzy. The engineers and overseers get down to business to fulfill the emperor’s wish, as if they really could. An outbreak of activities ensues but in typical sarkari manner. Tenders are issued. Contractors are hired. But, does the project see light of the day? Or, does the emperor, fast forwarded in the time, become a victim of the system himself?

This piece is a trip through the mind of a woman who refuses to take life too seriously. Vaz focuses on the challenges of aging in a culture that places too much value on youth. According to her, at 40 you have the confidence you wish you had at 20 and the body you hoped you’d have at 60. And a lot of nose hair!
