Orkut & Publicity of plays

Orkut account will not be available after 30^th September 2014.  I have two orkut accounts and these days I am visiting these accounts regularly. Taking out all old photos and other stuffs. After downloading the photos, I am deleting the album. It gives a very melancholy feeling. How enthusiastically once I used to upload photo there!

Today I downloaded some posters, brochure and paper clippings of Plays directed by me.  I never cared to collect paper reviews or posters. Most of the time I worked in small & interior places where media reach was almost negligible. If any reports were published, I would collect it but never gave much importance. Always believed working silently & effectively but orkut changed my that perception. After opening up the account on orkut, very fondly I used to share publicity material of the plays. I was laggard in opening the orkut account .It was around 2007 when I had opened the orkut account. That time I was associated with a theatre group  Aalay- Bhagalpur, that theatre group was at that time in formation stage. We had done many experiments on various levels in our plays – be it stage or street. At present Aalay has emerged as a mature group and this group has some trained actors from reputed institutions of our country. Some actors graduated to directors. My heartiest/ best wishes to the group. 

After downloading the posters, brochure and paper clippings of Plays from orkut, I thought to put these things on my blog. Then I thought what the use of sharing it there then I feel what these clippings will do in my document folder. Let it be on the blog for the sake of orkut- my first moorings with social media.  Sharing it below -
