Udaan Presents Nithalle on Sunday, July 4th 2010 at 7:30 pm and again on Saturday, July 10th 2010 at 7:30 pm at Lamakaan
Nithalle is one act Hindi play and duration is 65minutes. This comedy play is a political satire and is being presented in Street Theatre Format (Free form).
“The six protagonists unearth the reality of the Indian society and leave them on to the audience to muse “Kya Saare Jahan se Acha Hindustan Hamara Hai?” through this comic Hindi play ‘Nithalle’. This play is a portrayal for the archetypal “Aalasi”man with the “Chalta Hai” attitude and their unconcern for the things happening around them. It depicts the ordinary man of our country.”

Travel – the not so usual way!
What is your idea of a budget trip? And would you do a budget trip to a remote and sometimes dangerous place? How far would you go in order to stay within your budget? Would you hitchhike, stay with strangers or travel without knowing where you would be the next day? Would you manage to see the sights and also be able to make friends with the locals and be shown around by them?
What if you were told that somebody had really done this and more? And, spent an average of just Rs. 221 per day while doing their trip – to the North East of India. A region in the news more for its strife than for its more flattering features. Want to know how they managed to travel for a month on that ridiculously low budget? Hear it from the horse’s mouth and learn what’s not on their blog -
