Samaj

Samajhna - To understand.
Samaj - Thought

Samaj, Samaj ke Samaj ko Samjho,

Understand the way I think to understand my idea.

Samjhna bhi ek Samaj hai,

Understanding is an art

Samaj samaj ke jo na samjhe,

The one who understands the blabbering but argues with the thought,

Samjho woh bhi na Samaj hai,

Learn that he is stupid

Nasamaj, na samajh, Nasamaj mujhe,

Hey stupid, don't think that I'm stupid too

Meri samaj toh teri samaj ke samajh ke bahar hai.

For my thought is beyond the thinking level of your mind.

Every art form, talking dancing, acting, writing is an idea at first, then it's bought to thought ad each thought is first understood by the mind.

However, deep these lines may sound they come across to me as the most controversial lines, for it could be that the Nasamaj is the only one who understood, thought and then answered with a no, and it was you, Nasamaj, the one who couldn't catch up to his thought. Here it's probably me, this idea. Or should I write it again?

Sometime the solution is not the words but the situations and the faces the words connect; it's not the logic but the emotion, and when the emotion goes high, logic goes low. We think day in and day out about what would be the ideal solution, consider all the aspects, flaws, defects, benefits, pros and cons and then use Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle, considering energy to be mass times speed of light square, where mass is the effective mass and not the actual mass and then use Schrodinger's equation to realize the excited electron of hydrogen is on The Titan, and hence it is going to be rainy tomorrow, but well, Newton's laws... and then we challenge is again.

Sometimes the solution to everything is very easy. For once try the emotional aspect. It goes feel-snap-decide, and it is always right, for you believe in it over everybody else, you do, you know it's going to be right, you heart does, your soul does, and believe me, that's what it takes; and you would never regret.

Sometime solution to everything is not mathematical, it's life. The journey you have come so far, the journey you are yet to go through, the journey is what tells you how, what, when and why to every decision you make, it tells you what to choose, the journey gives you the answers.

Sometimes the solution to everything is the journey, your journey to life.

The "making of a" Flaw

At performances, backstage, at a round table meet with the team, away from the 13, the one question that haunted us everywhere was "What made you a team?" We wondered for ages, and found our answer in the ages, "Time, we gave it time." we finally said. "How long did it take?" Was the next question and it haunted us again.

"A year? A month? A day? A second?! What's that?" and I guessed it was the post 9 p.m. practices. It was the first time that something got into our aura and tore us apart from the very core for none of us agreed to the other. There were times that only one of us thought, then a few, then all of us, there were times we walked away to attend something so stupid that a few days down the line we wouldn't have cared if we had attended it or not. There were phases that we crashed through, broke out and struggled to get into the "aura", and we still clash but now we amend and find a way around. But this time, there was no way around.

We fought over it till the clock stopped ticking, it squeaked, it neighed, it quacked but it did not tick, and when it did, it clocked the in opposite direction and took us back to the time when we were, "Dramastra", we were not in "AURA", always. A few of us tried to get into, but beggars can't buy pride. We defended, they attacked, we sculptured, they broke, we stayed, they left.

"It's seven, I need to leave", "I'll leave at 5 okay?", "I have classes at 6" and if not at that point, then we would have never realised the flaw. We were a prey to something that was nonexistent, something we created, for a reference. Something that runs for us, not the other way round. We found ourselves the totem to Aura, the idol to being one, and we cut them loose, the boundaries, and that was the flaw.

P.S.  To, "How long did it take?"

Aura Productions

The only family that doesn't share a DNA, the only team that is bonded in an "AURA".

"Engineers are innovators, not artist." When they began, they heard it a million times over.

It's been only a year and the drama-dream of DJ Sanghvi College is already soaring. A bunch of 13, or as they call themselves, team "Aura", had BITS Goa as their first performing platform, when it wasn't enough to bound them, they made it huge with Bhaidas Auditorium as their second. Marching on the grounds of Indian Chemical Institute(ICT), SPIT, KJ Somaiya, SPCE, VESIT and the hearts of the people were up next; and they believe there are going to be many more. They hold pride, not in their certificates of victory, but in their team's bond, they hold gratification not in their achievements, but in their failures; and hold hubris not in what they perform, but in what they are backstage.

They perform on streets, they perform on stages, they gather a street crowd, they present to crowded auditorium. They write scripts that will touch your heart, they direct scenes to make you feel that they are real, but they don't act, they believe.
