The emotions… Scientifically, emotions are those particles which are divided into positive and negative. It’s all about two emotions that connect to create something. Whatever we live in life, that’s between those emotions.

         Our Life is an ocean of emotions. Whether we want to or not, nature threw us to swim in it. Infect we never learn to swim in advance, but we need to live it and learn it. Every human being passes through those emotions once in a life and that’s fact. We can’t deny it. Many lives leave some feelings behind and go for a voyage of peace. I think our age is distributed like it has every emotion strategically. But in some cases there are possibilities of different scenes than expected. Periodically our roles of characters change and we have to deal with it as it is. My Guru Babubhai Ranpura always told us that  My child, the human who can form something in turbulence, is the true voyager of life! He faced every aspect of life and stood stronger like the Himalayas. It is really difficult to live a life like an unaware human being when knowing about the future. But He Lived and played different roles timely . And that’s called drama.!! Many players like my guru accepted their roles in their life and they educate the society in their own ways. Our Society has Saint Kabir and Saint Tulsidas as witnesses. Many others played their roles as the Time needed them to perform in the entire world. We have a great example of the great Aristotle and Socrates. Even today, many actors try to act like them, but unfortunately they find it a bit short and it’s natural to be.     

         Years and years ago, We has been witnessing the greats and we were really lucky that we have those scriptures till today. “Bharat Muni Natyashastra”… The sage Bharata Muni who defined ‘Navarasas’(Nine Emotions) of Drama and Life. It’s Shringar(Love), Hasya(Laugh), Raudra(anger), Karun(Compassion), Bibhats(Disgust), Bhayanak(Fear), Veer(Heroism), Adbhut(Wonder) and Shant(Peace). How greatly those sages defined our life that connected with the stage? emotions are intertwined in us at the different stages of life. I think Bharat Muni and William Shakespeare both are very close to define it. How deeply they could experience the emotions of Nature and that applied into humans.! “All the world’s a stage and we are merely the players”(William Shakespeare).

         Over the years, dramas have been transformed a lot. Earlier those streets were the stage. They were playing very sensitively to historic characters. It was for joy and a direct message to the society. Still some dramas are worth watching but the feel of the stage is not better than the street. Where are we playing? That’s the question.  

         Nature has all nine emotions and we felt that from time to time. Nature always takes the test of those players who are reformers of society. Those players are the close observers of nature’s emotions. They laugh at the frightening show of nature and on the heroism of society.   

           Nature and Humans are both complementary in playing characters to each other.  We should not be a bit short in our role…

Thank You so much..
