Veiling off in through the large curtain, there came our
Aditee from “Yeh Jawanee hai Deewani”, dressed casually in a simple pant
and a white micky mouse T- shirt with a lose blonde hair dangling behind her
head to talk about “GIRL and WOMEN” inside the hall filled with echoes of the mountain. The
dark RUB hall saw the audience watching
the actress perform her act of voicing on behalf of women with enraptured
admiration.
“Fair by skin but brown
in heart”, is how the Kalki Koechlin describes herself which I
witnessed in one of her interview.
Parents are both French but whole of her transformation from a child to an
adult had a strong Indian culture influence and she is more of a brown Indian
than a fair French.
“Sometimes, it’s hard just to breathe”. Oh well! Her act was
wonderful, so was herself in real. Indeed an actor. I almost thought she really
was screaming at us, all men! Well, 1st
day of Mountain echo in RUB wrapped up with the actress sprinkling light on the
already existing women issue of the century.
Patrick French and Nayanjot Lahiri had their conversation on
the Art of biography backed up with a sky, cloudy background and warmed up with
questions from the audience.
Writing and reading enthusiast from the plains of India and
the mountains of Bhutan being brought under one roof by the platform “mountain
echoes” had them their energy further boosted up along with young amateur like
me getting kicked up for more motivation.
School children fired innocent questions to the poets and
the authors sitting on the couch in Tarayana centre. I was just in time to
listen to Guru Tshering Ladakhi and
Abhay’s first flight inside the poetic
world. A magical world of literature has brought all young and old together and
it was amazing to witness all inside the hall enjoying the joyous moment.
My zest of excitement has bubbled up to the peak to watch
the magician behind the pages of “five point someone”, “one night at the call
centre”, “ 3 mistakes of my life”, “revolution 2020”, “2 states” and his first non fiction book “what the
young india wants”, Mr. Chetan Bhagat speaking live right infront of my eyes. I
cannot wait to hear what “ Being Chetan” is like. Well, I would soon update my
experience of listening to the astounding famous writer of India . Don’t forget
to VISIT here once again!!:D
Greatly cherish'
