...The
story telling part was made lighthearted
with Raina’s comments and
on the spot cracks that ranged
from the mundane to the most philosophical.
He
used the Shakespearean comedy
to weave it along with a story
from Kerala – all set in
the forest for that unity and
went on to the legend/story of
Bhima and Anjaneya. The play of
words and characters blended in
a strange synergy, with Anjaneya
calling Bhima an ass and then
playing out the asses dance that
could only remind one of Shakespeare,
Oberon, Titania, and Puck.
And
when the big, burly Raina finished
you almost wished he would go
on and draw out some more of these...
