Message posted to twistntales@yahoogroups.com on 19th Feb, 2010.
Hi all,
Here’s wishing all of you a lovely season of paying taxes as dutiful citizens of free India.
Where you can be ambushed, drinking coffee in a bakery. As we grieve over the loss of young lives, we in twistntales believe in an active citizenry. As part of our effort to raise civic consciousness, we return to our theatre beginnings.
We are happy to co-host Prakriti Foundation and present
"Unbound"
(Public Premiere at the Vth Tree of Life Festival, 2010. The first run of 20 shows have been scheduled between January 25-March 8 respectively)
dedicated to the centenary of Hind Swaraj and based on the Swaraj writings of Mahatma Gandhi.
Direction, design and dramaturgy: Parnab Mukherjee
About the director:
Mr Mukherjee has been one of the leading alternative theatre directors of the country. He has directed over 150 productions including full-length play, performance texts, workshop performances, theatre interventions and installation performance. He has written four books on performance texts.
“Unbound” will be staged on Sunday, 21st Feb, 2010 at 8.30pm at twistntales. The play will be in English and will last for about 20 minutes. Standing space only …. sorry about that.
Do come with your friends, inform other theatre enthusiasts who may not know, and meet with these social activists. DON’T MISS THIS ! These theatre performers are in Pune only for the day, and this will be the 3rd adapted performance outside twistntales.
The mail on new books will follow shortly,

Congratulations, Srikant and Anushree and welcome Gauri
Often, we have "our" kids in twistntales, growing up, moving out and doing us proud. For many, it's a first job ..... I have had the pleasure of handing over "first salary" to many of the college students or post-college students who intern with us !
These students move on to other towns, take on "real-life" jobs, but keep in touch, and become part of the tnt family for ever. A lot of affection stays on both sides.
Anushree interned with us.... a couple of years ago, just after her 12th class. Even then, as now, she struck me as one of the most focussed, clear, discplined and with a lot of application in her. This morning she called, to say she has cleared Inter CA. She surely is on her way to becoming a ranker. She's much too young to be attempting her finals, she needs to be finishing articleship first. But come May 2011, I am hoping that we will have a full fledged CA. Am proud of you, Anushree, now you know how those 5am classes that u went to, directly from sleepovers, where others slumbered till noon ... paid off. Keep it up, Good Luck.
Srikanth worked evenings at the Store .... At one point of time, he would have been a MSc Physics. Till fate intervened. tnt came by, then content writing.... And soon he was one of the most popular voices on Radio Mirchi ! Yes, its the same RJ srikant on "bumper to bumper". But though he moved on in life, he didn't lose his "connect" with tnt. He continues to be our Santa, year after year, every Christmas.
twistntales celebrates christmas in Sassoon Hospital, in the pedeatric ward, with the children. All children, theirs and ours have a song and dance party, with lots of impromptu performances from both sides. But, for children who are unable to get out of bed to come to the Sassoon Hall, Santa visits them in the ward. This includes the infectious diseases ward, the thalesemia ward and the ICU. Our Santa never flinched. Not even once. Whether it was to hug parents, who fell at his feet at the ICU, or having a smile for babes in arms, Srikanth has done what it takes to spread joy at X'mas.
Srikanth married Gauri on 22nd Jan in bby and today he celebrates with dinner in Pune. Congratulations, Sri and Gauri, may this be the start of a long lovely innings.... Good luck and best wishes. Welcome to the family, Gauri !
