Expressed!

I have spent days wondering the power of women, today I took the bold step in putting them in 'form of' words, to be frank I feel words are too less to express their passion, their strength, their dedication and more importantly their talent.
I am talking about two women who have changed the way women are regarded in general!
Being a women is not all about "Lifestyle" or "Pantaloons", being a women is not all about "Being complicated!"
Madhuvanthi G and Nagashree Karko are two super women of WeMove who have achieved something very few girls of their age would have achieved and today my article is dedicated to their passion towards "Art" and "Theatre!"
When we started WeMove early in 2006, we were filled with bunch of careless boys hanging around with absolutely no direction to our dreams, we set out to create what was regarded then as a humorous joke, we wanted to start a 'Theatre company!'
Times rolled as we realised the need of "Female Actors", of course we wanted to reach out to every 'sections' of the society.
"Need guidance for a college theatre project" the post on the derelict ORKUT directed me to a passionate young girl for whom theatre was just a way of expression! She was waiting near the ever famous "Pavitra paradise" near Basaweshwaranagar, Bangalore with a hope that she will get an bewildering script for her college theatre project, I just went there with a few dowloaded copies of an iditoic script.
"Hi.." she recieved, of course on the road..!
"Hi..I am Abhishek Iyengar and I am part of WeMove.." I recieved her back! Still on road..!
"Well, here are some scripts.. you may use it for your college play.." I handed over to her..
"gee! thank you.". she was overwhelmed!

Much to her surprise we met again and this time it was not on the roads but in WeMove rehearsals not before I was baffled by watching her college play written and directed by her, Madhuvanthi was one of the rare find for WeMove. Her passion towards theatre was unaccountable, her first role as a "Call girl" just showcased her strenght towards acting, she essayed one of the most difficult roles of Kannada litreture with oomph, style and attitude. Madhuvanthi was here to stay and she declared it in her own style with some of the mind blowing performances which moved both WeMove and audience. Be it her role in Tatyana Moha or the role of "Damayanti" in Nannavala Kagada, Madhu as she is fondly known left her imprints in the world of WeMove.
Week end after Week end, she was there learning each and every line, acting each and every emtion. Shifting her life between 2 different time zones, madhu spent sleepless nights and some times DAYS; only to make WeMove stronger and mightier. If ever there was one strenght of WeMove, then it was "Acting" and she was a integral part of it.
"What is life without theatre?" I once questioned her, she replied back "May be it is like life without expression!"
"There needs to be a powerful script" she claimed when WeMove finalized the screenplay for Malgudi Daze and then came out "Selvi, a story of a submissive singer" which was her first stinct as writer and director. Today Madhu stands apart from most of her agemates and soon set to become an director in WeMove. From a small time actor to directing a play, the story just unviels the strenght of this woman.

"Are you Abhishek Iyengar?" she puzzled a question at me!
"Yes! did you watch the show?" I shot back
"No, I had my CAT classes.."
"ok.. ok.. make sure you see it next time.. " I snapped at her
May be I din't even look at her properly, she stood there just gazing at WeMove team wrapping up TPK Marali baa show at Sevasadana, least she knew that she will one day Manage and lead the entire public relations of WeMove and emerge out as one of the finest actress.
Once a leading news paper in Mysore reviewed her acting performance as a "bright star",
Wearing a black shirt with a gleam in her eyes she came with her friend to WeMove rehearsals for the very first time only to make sure that her friend gets a role in WeMove plays. She was neither interested to join nor was prepared. Being her first co-actor I had a golden chance to act with her only to realize that 'acting' is an art and only few people can rule over it.
Her role as an 'Integrator" in TPK Marali Baa fetched her reviews which WeMove had seldom seen earlier.
She grew and so her passion towards art, when most of her friends spent their time at a nearest "Adda" she spent hers in WeMove rehearsals.
In years to come Nagashree dawned some of the roles which is even remembered now, the doctor of U and J, Caty of Namma Metro, Selvi of Malgudi, Astrologers Wife. Bubbly, energetic and always excited, Nagashree changed the way WeMove presented its plays, the Malgudi show at Mysore was one of the classic example.
"I don't over commit" she once hurled at me when asked about her passion towards theatre.
"I just hate the way we present our plays!" she declared it only to take new steps to change it,
"Simple things always matter and we need to get it right" she exclaimed when I once asked her about WeMove.
A persona which is difficult to be expressed in words nagashree has come a long way from just being an actor
A charming actress, A figther by nature, pratical thinker by nature, a lover of art, beautiful presenter, bundle of energy, hey! "A perfect soul mate" and the reason I am STILL doing theatre today!

Nagashree has not only changed the way WeMove looks today but has redefined "Brand WeMove!"

These are not just facts but "words of struggles" of two women who have made it from where they set off! I have always wondered about the problems faced by women in this society and often refer myself to these two who have probably fought every barrier in their life to do or pursue theatre.
Sacrifise is something bigger than life in itself according to me and when I think of all those "Life" that these two have sacrifised for WeMove, tears roll down from my eyes; I just pacify myself thinking that "these tears are of happines"

Sometimes it is regarded that extraordinary people should be treated ordinary! I treat them as just 2 women who have made the entire womenhood proud!
As I conclude by saluting these two for their contributions and achievements, I re-iterate "Being Women is quite easy but being Madhu and nagashree is tough!"
