Nagamandala - Opening Act for Kalaa Utsavam 2014

Kalaa Utsavam 2014

An annual festival, Kalaa Utsavam celebrates Indian arts during the festive period of Deepavali – the Festival of Lights.

Launched in 2002 as a three-day festival, Kalaa Utsavam has since grown into a 10-day festival that presents an exciting selection of contemporary and traditional performances by acclaimed Indian artists from Singapore and the sub-continent.

Nagamandala has been commissioned by the Esplanade as the opening act of the Kalaa Utsavam 2014, and marks the first time a local arts group will be headlining the festival.

Nagamandala is a magical, comical, mythical yarn of a young bride, her wayward, neglectful husband and a romantically inclined, shape-shifting cobra. The celebrated playwright Girish Karnad’s award winning play cleverly weaves two Indian folk stories into an intriguing tale. It’s a comedy of errors triggered off by the sheltered, virginal bride has to contend with more than she bargained for from her administration of a love potion to the “wrong party”. The consequence of which is that a

marriage including the attention of a very, very “interested” snake.

From the award winning theatre company, HuM, who brought you Rafta Rafta and The

Kanjoos comes a curious love story directed by and featuring Daisy Irani. In this playful world — one moment inconsequential, the next a Goddess!

The set was simple but the actors made it come alive, It was my first Theatre Show and I enjoyed it!! The actors from HuM Theatres were all so fantastic and I could feel every emotion that they are trying to deliver. The Storyline flowed really well and I could really understand it.

The Vibrant colours lit up the whole stage and the flow of the emotions up and down, just like on a roller coaster. Happy, Sad, Lust, Love, Dilemma, Confused, Anger, Allllll together!

Actress Sharda Harrison

I was so glad that Nagamandala was the opening Act for Kalaa Utsavam 2014 and it is definitely a must watch! Check them out on facebook for more exciting theatre performance! https://www.facebook.com/humtheatre?fref=ts

Know Your Flow Girl!

Today's Post is Totally for the Ladies Out There, Yea you mah girllllll! It's gonna be about your monthly problem called - PERIOD/MENSUS/ BIG AUNT/ TIME OF THE MONTH etc. So If you are a man, and you wish to read on, you are a welcome to understand more about our monthly woes.

What I would like to share today is that:

Heavy periods are anything but Rare or Normal

For most women, menstruation is just part of life, Cramps, Bleeding from time to time down there throughout the day, till the day it all ends. But for women suffering from Heavy Menstrual Bleeding(HMB), it is much more than that and can severely affect their quality of life.

I went for a event the other day where we got to learn more about HMB and I'm going to share some fun facts with you all! We even had the La Senza experts coming in to teach us on proper ways to make our breast comfortable during the time of the month. Yes.

I believe that each of us girls have experienced Pre-menstrual Syndrome(PMS) and sometimes we really wonder if those damn hormones are really playing with us or is it just in our head.. 

But It's TRUE!! PMS is only 1 of the few symptoms we girls face every month. Period can affect our quality of life quite drastically actually. It affects our attendance at work or school, our choice of clothes, our daily activities and also our Sex Life! In conclusion hor, I believe that having period will bring DOWN our self esteem and bring UP our self - consciousness lor! And It is just worst when you have HMB Every Single Month!

So how do you determine if you have HMB?

You Period may be abnormal if you have like most of the Experiences stated below at the "Amount" Row! *Changing of pads means that every 2 hours, your pad is fully soaked kind ah, not like the normal hygiene change, different hor!

Growth of lumps in your uterus might also be causes of HMB, If you have constant Bad cramps that affect your daily life activities, please go seek a doctor's opinion!

And What can we do to ease the pain(literally) of the month:

♥ Keep Track of your menstrual cycle

♥ Exercise Regularly

(Not only when you are having your period then you exercise)

♥ Have a Hot Water Bottle or Maybe Just your favourite Cushion/Pillow

(To hug on to when the cramps gets real bad)

♥ A Massage session to relieve the stress

(A little massage doesn't hurt, and its good for stress relieve too!)

If not, Just Indulge in food, In my opinion, Food always helps!

We were treated to a 4 Course Dinner at OTTO Ristorante, Yum yums!

I had a very fun night with the girls and I learnt so much more about our period! 

Stay Beautiful! ♥

With Love, M♥
