Maximum India @ Kennedy Center DC: Ismat Apa Ke Naam with Naseerudin & Ratna Pathak Shah

I had a nice weekend & things have been good. Yesterday was my second day at Kennedy Center after last night of fun & frolic (click here to read) with Kailsh Kher, Zakir Hussain, Shankar Mahadevan & Hariharan. Today was Naseeruddin Shah's presentation of Ismat Apa Ke Naam by Ismat Chugtai, presented by Naseeruddin Shah, Ratna Pathak Shah & Heeba Shah. Three stories narrated by three of them. Pretty good & nice, enjoyed it a lot!!

But I wanna talk about something else here. Atending a stage performance... a play, a symphony, an opera, a concert.... why peopel are so inconsiderate, so stupid? & why are kids even allowed at such things.... why i say that?? In the Kailash Kher concert, people came with kids. It was free show & was kinda crowded. everyone was standing and few parents had there kids on their shoulder... why? People behind them couldn't see the stage (including me). Were those kids even intesrested in something like that? mostly not... but all the people who were couldn't enjoy the performance. Forget about just the kids, many elders were also PITA. It was crowded and peopel wanted to sit, but some peopel just didn't wanna. Which is okay, but then move out of the way of th epeople who want to sit. Go with majority & be supportive in such scenarios... no?? Some people just don't understand & like to be PITA (to make it clear, this was a white American guy in Kailash Kher free concert). In the opera (which was AWESOME) & the play, there were kids talking during performance. One girl was crackling her pack of M&Ms. Even an adult was crackling his chips bag, What the Funk..... Anyways, think about it. Until next time, Good Bye!!
