Another exhibition that I visited at its fag end was one of cartoons, at Midford Gardens (off M G Road):
This was the first time I was visiting the Indian Cartoon Gallery, and found it a fair-sized space in the basement of a building. The cartoons were well displayed, with good lighting. Perhaps in the interests of conservation, and of saving on electricity, the lights were off when we went, and a security person switched them on when we entered.
One of the disadvantages of visiting a show later is the inability to meet the creator, and I certainly would have liked to meet Vijay N. Seth, aka Vins. He graduated from the JJ School of Fine Arts, Mumbai, in 1968, and started with political cartoons, but diversified into scientific and social themes.

Dramanon is a young Bangalore-based theatre group whose fortunes I have been following for a fair length of time now, and I have been impressed with their commitment to English theatre, given the obstructions that an amateur group has always to face: affordability of theatre space, funding obstacles, and rehearsal difficulties with day jobs to take care of. They like to choose plays, that, in their own words, "have spunk", and this time, the play in question was Elling, Simon Bent's adaptation of a cult Norwegian film, which in turn was based on a novel by Ingvar Ambjørnsen.
Elling tells the story of two of society's outsiders who, having been released from a mental institution, have to work out how to adjust to living independently. The title character is a prissy self-declared mummy's boy, petrified of the world outside; a man…
