Lagle Bolben

A humorous act produced by Niva Arts and directed by Arun Bandyopadhyay featuring the director in the role of a bachelor businessman Robin Banergee, maternal uncle and the only guardian to Bipul, an MSc passed young man. This Bipul is again betrothed to a girl named Malaya, but fears to ask his uncle's permission for his marriage. Bipul's tension heightens as he finds his uncle searching a bride for him for which he had employed a fellow named Nagen. On the other hand, Malaya's widowed mother, Ruby Roy is also in search of a nice groom for her daughter and lands up in Robin's house with the proposal. But here the events take a surprising twist when Robin finds that he is getting increasingly attracted towards Ruby. As he divulges this to Nagen, the later reminds him that in the event Robin marries Ruby, their offsprings will then become cousins to one another and hence there will be no chance of a marriage. Again, Bipul being unaware of the actual identity of Ruby's daughter, employs different tactics to dissuade Ruby from letting her daughter to marry him. The confusions that are created are supplemented by a series of misunderstandings that begins from the commencement of the story and these adds more fun to the whole drama. Finally it rests upon Nagen to disentagle the mess and straighten the cases of the two pairs of lovebirds.
The chief feature of the drama is the minimum use of background score and thus the actors are to be congratulated for their excellent performances and the nice comedy that is completely devoid of malice. Also each act finishes in a unique way, a style that is quite new to me. Also slight drift from the main concept occurs at intervals to reveal the true nature of each character, without which the story would have remained incomplete. Thus my Christmas evening was nicely spent watching the play, which I had long been waiting for.

Digital memory,to me, is something that I seem to be unable to ever have enough of. It's as if megabytes and gigabytes have become an inseparable part of my day to day existence. Ever since I bought a Micro SD Card for my Nintendo DS flash card, I've been on the constant lookout for high memory at cheap prices. I feel like I'm going insane.
