Reading Part 2 of Agamadambara

“Such a lovely reading session. Thanks for bringing this play to us @⁨Brinda Shankar⁩. It was like reconnecting with a long lost part of our own self. I feel it is helping me ground myself admist the various conflicts sorrounding us.

I hope we can present the play in some form. There will be a lot of takeaways for everybody.

Thank you to the participants who kept up the intensity through some long monologues. I hope you guys had a great time reading as well...” - Aakash Waghmare
