ये रात थी उस शहर की जहां अंधेरा अभी आया था,
ये बात थी उस शहर की जहां अल्फाज़ अभी आए थे,
ये गूंज थी उस शहर की जहां गुल अभी आया था,
ये ख़ामोशी थी उस शहर की, जिसने चुप्पी अभी सीखी थी।
.
.
.
.
जगाया था एक शहर इस उम्मीद में,
कि आंखें मूंदना फ़िर से अब नहीं होगा आसान।
उस शहर की जगमगाहट इन बंद पलकों में भी जलती रहे, इस उम्मीद में अंकुर उन सबका तहे दिल से शुक्रिया करता है, जो इस शहर का हिस्सा बने, और जिनके बिना इस शहर की धड़कन एक एहसास से एक आवाज़ में तब्दील हो सकी।
लड़ाई है अब खुद से,
खुद को बदलने कि!
.
.
.
.
यह थी अंकुर: श्री गुरु तेग़ बहादुर खालसा कॉलेज की नाट्य संस्था की नौंवी सालाना पेशकश "जब शहर हमारा सोता है"।

‘शहर…’ ढाई अक्षर का लफ़्ज़ इश्क़ के बारे में था। ‘शहर…’ कबूतरों के बारे में था। ‘शहर…’ गुलाब की सुगंध, बगुले की फड़फड़ाहट, कोयल की चहचहाहट और मोर के नाच के बारे में था।

जंग के बीच फसे इस शोर-गुल भरे माहौल में भी जो शहर सो रहा है, 'इश्क' के बूते उस शहर को जगाने की कोशिश का नाम है 'जब शहर हमारा सोता है'।

ANKUR, The Theatre Society Of SGTB Khalsa College presents its 9th Annual Production - 'जब शहर हमारा सोता है'।

Theatreleela Acting Studio

Presenting ENDQUE - Online College Theatre Festival with 'Deluxe Hair Cutting Saloon', a stage play production by ANKUR - The Theatre Society, SGTB Khalsa College, on 19th July, 6 PM at Facebook Live Premiere. 🤗

The play borrows from life as experienced in any small town establishment that can be found in our metropolitan cities. The play's axis is a barber shop named Deluxe Hair Cutting Saloon that shares space with Jai Ambe Motors, a motor mechanic workstation, and Das Pathology Lab. The play's characters have problems of their own and yet continue to live their lives with some measure of contentment. The piece dwells on the universal idea that as humans we are quick to make judgments and identify the several faults of other people without even looking at our own.

Theatreleela Acting Studio will be having a small casual chat session with few of their society members on their ups and downs while creating this masterpiece and some more fun stuff. Stay tuned!! 😉
