JAMMU, Sept 12: Ek Sath Rang Mandal (ESRM) under its Monday Theatre series today presented 212th show with a Hindustani play “Nayi Souch Naya Laksh”, in collaboration with Unison and BLSKS at its headquarters here.
Nayi Souch Naya Laksh is play for young generations who are at the start of their career. A retired person Gulab Chand is narrating his life experience and sharing it among young children that how he started his career. He says that he belonged to a poor family in a remote village where nobody was literate and even school was about 15 km far from house. His parents handed him over to his uncle who was running small dhaba at district headquarters. He started his career at the age of 8 years as a helper with his uncle in that so-called hotel where a daily customer, a teacher, used to come for lunch and dinner. He inspired Gulab to start studies in such a manner so that his uncle may not mind and he would not be deprived of the petty job. The teacher provided books and asked him to come to his school when it is off for talking guidance and teaching from him. The said teacher later got him admitted in National Village School and requested his uncle that the boy would serve his hotel in the morning and evening hours so that he could attend the school on regular basis. The time passed by and Gulab did his graduation and appeared in a competitive exam and finally joined Government service as SDM of his district which was a big pride and respect for his entire family.
This all was due to thoughts, determination and commitment that he could serve the people of his area. After retirement he established an organization called “Nayi Souch Naya Laksh” where all poor children were taught free of cost. Since he could attain education he wished that everybody in country should be educated. He advised them to help every third person who is deprived of education due of certain handicaps.
Those who acted were Anuroop Pathania, Simran Sharma, Mohit Chargotra, Akash Abrol and Vijay Malla. The play was written and directed by Vijay Malla and assisted by Anuroop Pathania.
