Alok,
The story, your story, is so violent. It was meant to be written but I am without words tonight. I hate to think of the world like this. I hate that this happened to you. I wish Dr. Sophia had saved you.
If I were in the theater watching this I'd be hiding my face in my hands waiting for the violence to end.
I liked the introduction of your mother. She seems like refuge at last. I liked that you asked her to stay with you. Are the women and girls sheltered from this violent world?
I loved the scene where you said her gods were dead. The ghost story was interesting too. You are doing a marvelous job. But I hate this sad world...it is horrible.
Lara
Lara !!
Lara! I hate violence from the bottom of my heart, but I cannot deney that I am the creation of this violence. I was trying to escape from that life,but I had no way. Even I did not like to recall it. But I am doing, and again I am facing that vilence.
Today the concept of the comedy script makes me laugh. It is good to laugh. The days of horror have gone, I want to laugh. A psychic director with his excellent script and bundle actores!!! It is great.
