Chapter3- Rudra-Paro: Ye Romeo nahin, Rambo hai. - Page 11

True!! Yeh Rambo mil jaaye toh Romeo ka kya karenge? achaar dalenge?

I said this in some other thread, or maybe my own...the contrast iof Rudra-Paro is very apt in the context of the present show. becoz the show is set on the background of the desert. Infact, its not just the bg , its the medium, its the storyteller that carries the story forward, the bard who sings it, the canvass that carries it and the sculptor that shapes it...the desert is a study in contrasts...gentle and harsh, unforgiving and soothing, scorching and yet sublime, an emptiness full of layer upon layer of existence, a monotonous expanse of everchanging splendour. And Rudra-Paro's contrast is a reflection of the ever changing yet ever same desert, they mirror the desert and the desert mirrors them. It fits perfectly...like a smooth flowing river of a ballad sung for ages.

May I add that if you have spent some time in the Rajasthan desert the contrasts are mindboggling.Thats the real world, its harshness, its cruelty and yet its gentleness, the way it surrounds you, unforgiving and yet caressing like a lover and a villain all at once. Rudra Pratap Ranawat, the BSD and the villagers are more real than one can imagine and the conflict is perhaps an understatement, if anything. Its a state that believes in extreme machismo, extreme valour, extreme violence and extreme colour and passion. infact, i instantly felt that no title could have been more apt for a show based in a colourful state like rajasthan. can you imagine what it takes to create so much colour, so much passion, so much majesty in the midst of a hungry, ruthless desert...that is exactly the mettle with which rudra pratap ranawat is made of, and that is the beauty that Paro peronifies.
