Navarasa Ramayana
On 25 August 2026, a Hindi play called Navarasa Rฤmฤyaแนa went up at the Student Amenities Centre, IISc, presented by the Official Language Unit. It told the Rฤmฤyaแนa through the nine rasas, and it took about fifty of us four months of rehearsals, rewrites, borrowed props and late-night corrections to get there. I played Rฤvaแนa, which gave me a good seat for the fury and an even better view of everyone else's work. What follows is a journal of that journey, told rasa by rasa, with the people who made the evening. If you would rather begin with the play itself, the full recording is below; the journal reads well either way.
