Expressions!!! That’s what it is. Geometric, my company has not only given wings to my career aspirations, it has also given a boost to my cultural inclination. When I gave my auditions for expressions I had no idea as to what role I would be playing in the drama? Our Auditions were taken by Mr. Sanjeev Kumar Patil, the director for some of the famous plays like GathiBheti, Makdyachya Hathi Shampen and Nat Navacha Natak to name a few. Lucky as I always call myself, I bagged the role of Yam dharma. 
Oh don’t freak out people I played the role of Yam who transforms himself as Sheila and transcends to earth to take away the life of an IT professional. The drama weaves through a series of funny incidences and gives a message to the audience that life need not be taken so seriously. Difficulties are a part of life just resolve them and move ahead.

I vividly remember the days when we were practicing for Expressions. All the actors came to the office even on Saturdays and Sundays to complete the play. The pizza party we had on Sundays hmmm yummy. During the weekdays we expressionists were eager to finish off with our days work ASAP and rush to the GYM area (That’s our practice hall) and work on it till 8.30 PM and reach back home at 9.30. Sometimes we stayed back in the office till 9.30 in the night. Gentle men from our group used to drop all the girls back home. Yeah which guy would not like
to take the privilege of leaving 3 to 4 girls back home late at night? Well let’s not get into the details of that. (To all my expressionist guy friends- no offence meant). Dancing to the tunes played by our music band.

Dancing to the tunes played by our music band. Our Director was the bestest comedian one could think of. He tried his best to bring in as much comedy in the play as possible. I very well recollect a scene where I am flirting with a guy named Nitin err… Neal…err whatever his name is. I still remember the way we were getting conscious at the beginning. Our director was literally tired of telling him “arre mi tula flirt karaychi sandhi detoy tar mag kar na flirt. Kashala Ghabartoy…” That’s it! From that day onwards he started flirting with every girl present in the group. We had to literally ask him to stop flirting.
Since I played the role of Yam I was asked to laugh like Yam and my dialogue goes like this “Hum hai Yam, Yam hai Hum Hehahahahah” and Onkar(The assistant director) spent hours 
teaching me how to laugh. Every time I tried to laugh the entire team roared with laughter. So you can imagine the kind of laughter I had to put forth. All this was fine but one of the biggest challenges I had was to dance on Sheila Ki Jawani. Trust me I was getting a hell lotta conscious while doing that. I was 100 percent sure that seeing their daughter flirting with guys and dancing to Sheila ki Jawani my parents would certainly have had a cultural shock when they saw the play. Thank fully they seemed to be fine after that .

Thank fully they seemed to be fine after that . I even danced on Sachi Sachi…. from Dabangg movie. My dance partner Anil (I used to call him Aniiiiiiiiiillllllll) was another funny person to be with. This was supposed to be a romantic number
and everytime we danced Anil used to sing the song. Being a South Indian he had this typical accent which made me laugh everytime he sang the song as we danced. The day we had put this play on the stage I remember the kind of audience support that our company received. We did not win the award but I am sure we have won the audiences heart. I have several beautiful memories to cherish now. Had it not been for this I would have never known that I can act as well. Expression in one of the bestest thing that has happened to me till date.

Its been 3 months since I had been a part of this play but still I am unable to get the expression fever out of my head.
Expressions! has taught me to express myself so beautifully that I am lacking words to express the beauty of Expressions.
-In memory of all the expressionists, cheers to you guys.
