3 min read
Mysuru: The forced “me time” that has come at a time of Coronavirus scare has turned out to be a blessing in disguise for many. The City’s busy bees are utilising this indefinite shutdown period to unwind and catch up with their lost self and loved ones.
We @ Mysoorunews.com spoke to a couple of busy bees on how they are spending the no-work days.
Corona scare or no scare, theatre artiste Mandya Ramesh knows how to keep himself creatively occupied in the best way possible. In the wake of Corona scare, many shootings and television programmes to which he is a part of have been cancelled. But that has not stopped this versatile actor from exploring other options.
“Shooting of four major movies got cancelled and popular television show Maja Talkies’ relaunch shooting too was put on hold. So, I am utilising this time to rehearse a theatre play with my old students of Natana.”
What more. He is in the process of adapting Poornachandra Tejaswi’s “Parisarada Kathe” to stage.
So, the indefinite shutdown has come as a blessing for Mandya Ramesh to work on it with his Natana members.
He told that the annual summer camp – Raja Maja – conducted by Natana is on hold as of now. “We hope all would be well soon,” said Ramesh.
Mandya Ramesh is a part of Shivarajkumar starrer ‘Bajrangi – 2’ of which shooting got cancelled.
Sandalwood actor Aishwarya Rao too has found this shutdown a blessing to focus on her fitness and spending a quality time with her family.
She told that with her busy schedule, she would hardly find time for her family and friends. With the shutdown, she is making the total use of it.
Buoyed with the good reviews of ‘Baddimagan Life’, Aishwarya Rao was supposed to join the crew of her next flick ‘Sahara’. But due to the Corona scare, the shooting has been put on hold for now. “This has come as a blessing in disguise for me. I am utilising this time to focus on my fitness regime and also spending time with my loved ones that includes her furry friends too,” said Aishwarya, a fitness freak.
She also told us that she is enjoying the home-made food as well, which would be a luxury during the shoot.
Mysuru-based classical dancer and dance tutor Kripa Phadke has cancelled many programmes in and around Mysuru, due to Corona scare. She has also suspended dance classes that she conducts at Nrityagiri Dance school.
Instead, she is utilising this time to chill with her family. She told that the shutdown has given her an opportunity to catch up with her mother and sisters, which otherwise would be a rarity, given her busy schedule.
Besides, she is spending more time at her garden as she loves it. “I am passionate about gardening. I spend a couple of hours in the gardening, everyday. With the shutdown, I am more busy in gardening these days, as I enjoy nature,” said Kripa Phadke.
