FAHEEM’S BANQUET AND THE BLOOD

one saturday afternoon. and ALL the batches convened to one place.
Q : lets say, you're part of an organization that helps the poor patients of Wenlock and Lady Goschen by donating medicines as well as arranging for blood donors. how would you create an aware ness programme?

A: CALL the mad ad's team of 06.

and what follows is PURE INSANITY. i've never watched a mad-ads show or seen a team at work before. its way different from the other forms of theater. but what i saw that day, is something i cant quite keep off from writing about.

how would you show, that its safe to donate blood, and enlighten those who dont know about blood donation?
(some ideas crop up amongst those involved)
rohit:" what kind of a crowd are we going to perform to?"
atul: " jobless people. on the streets. doing nothing. "
me: "dude, this is at bharat mall dude! they come there cos they CAN! they should be reasonably educated!!"
varsha: "haha. yeah".
scene one:
sita (rohit) is in the forest of chitrakoota. cant say acting feminine comes easily to him, but rohit goes to the centre of the stage, one arm folded, the index finger of the other hand pointing to the middle of his right cheek. walking coy. a shy look on his face. a little flirtatious.
laxmana(faheem) revolves around sita, round and round. like some sort of shield, because he represents laxman rekha. if anybody tries to come close to them, they'd be pushed or thrown aside.
ravana( in the guise of a beggar) (sushruth) comes to beg for arms to sita. he gets pushed aside by faheem.
ravana:"ayyo rama! waat eez this?"
ravana then asks sita to come out of the line, she does, and the next minute, ravana's grabbed her(rohit) and carries her in his arms. ravana's ecstatic, so he laughs.
Q : ravana's got bout 10 heads. so how do you represent em all?
A : the rest of the team jump in and prop their heads next to ravana's. and ravana laughs.
and so do all the heads.
and so does sita too!
well, we still haven't come to the point. so guys.. focus!
rama goes to war with ravana cos he has sita. in the war that ensues, laxmana gets wounded and falls to the ground. rama summons hanuman to get sanjeevini.
hanuman brings sanjeevini to the battleground. varsha walks daintily into the scene.
and SANJEEVINI, happens to be a GIRL, (varsha)
rama: "ayyo! not THIS sanjeevini! the PLANT sanjeevini!!!"
hanuman: "sanjeevini all happened in olden days. this is 21st century!
why sanjeevini when you can give BLOOD!"
"BLOODMAN!" he calls out loudly.
ENTER BLOODMAN.
burton rushes into the scene. his blood red cape(someone's dupatta) 'flying' in the air.
atul(MC):"see! this is how you can transfuse blood."
with swift motions, they tie one end of the dupatta to laxmana and the other to rama, and depict blood transfusion.
there were other scenes as well. of course.lol.

ps: thanks for the food faheem!
