Memoir #4

आमचा मित्र राजू तुलालवार यास मिळालेल्या ठाणे नवरतन पुरस्कारा बद्दल हार्दिक, मनापासून अभिनंदन! 
या निमित्ताने काही आठवण:

Those were Raju's early days in his career. He was slowly becoming popular n famous.
I had an opportunity to participate in महाराष्ट्र राज्य नाट्य स्पर्धा, in a play written n directed by him. It was so much fun, it was more than 30 years back!, our whole group of SanjayK, ManojN, SaumitraG, SatishM, SanjuA etc used to practice at Mulund, in the evenings. And one soon to be famous personality Ms Shirin (!) was also in lead role. Rest is history..(so far as Raju's personal life is concerned, but it @ll started in our नाटक!!)
I did smoke a bidi, yes bidi, on the live show on stage at Gadkari Rangayatan, Thane! I wanted to, desperately, just for the sake of showing in front of audience which incidentally included my parents! 
त्यानंतर काही वर्षांनी भाग घेतलेल्या एकांकिका स्पर्धात त्या बिडीची मजा नवहती!
And now, who will allow you to smoke in theatres or their premises, let alone on stage??!
But I have!☺☺


A MEMOIR!
