Ambition overkill
The efforts of the Chirantan Natya Sanstha in the field of children8217;s theatre have been well appreciated. On the occasion of its 17th anniversary, the organisation opens the curtains on a new play, Gele Khelayache Rahun.As the name suggests, the core of the play is how the high ambitions of parents can make the child suffer. Somewhere in the pursuit of goals and objectives, their childhood often gets lost. That is what Devdatta Pathak, the man behind the play, wants to tell. Aiding him in this project are Tushar Paranjape, Sukhada Dastane, Prajakta Kulkarni and Sucheta Mehetre. The play is also the culmination of the work of 40 teenagers, and will be staged on June 28 at the Bharat Natya Mandir. Good show, people!

Since then, several pop idols have come clean and admitted to the ill-effects of addictions. In a bid to continue with this commendable effort, the United Nations Drug Control Programme this year announced awareness of addictions through music8217; as its theme.
