“तो चलो साथ में थोडे़ सपने संजोते हैं”


“Excellence can be obtained if you:

...care more than others think is wise;

...risk more than others think is safe;

...dream more than others think is practical;

...expect more than others think is possible.”

This is an old quote which always inspired us specially “dream more than other think is practical”


If anybody would have told us that after 2 years of MBA we’ll end up doing 3 short movies and 2 fulltime plays, I must have told him - Boss R u joking ? But in retrospection it was very satisfying journey. We did not become stars but yes we certainly did more than only wishing for dreams.

There are countless people who are MBAs but certainly we were more demanding. Plain MBA is very boring concept now. We feel life in itself has no meaning, we need to put meaning, hopes, colours and many ingredients that completes the journey named life.

On this promise let me share with you the story of Masterstroke Productions.

If you look into our CVs there is nothing in it which put us into the corner of theatre. We both are corrupt by education, both are engineers and both are MBAs after facing so much of Educational Atyachar, still there was something common in us that was expressing ourselves. We both always have a story to tell, we always have some burning concept to discuss, ranging from gals to Indian politics i.e. any topic under sun.

This high level discussion one day blinked with the idea of starting something... we still don’t know how this something will look like in coming future? But we wanted to start something without even thinking of practicality of its existence. Thanks to God we were never serious about our MBA studies, because MBA education always limits one’s thinking... for the simple reason why so, because they teach practical things!!

Starting masterstroke was never a practical thing... But who cares, we are happy being blind you can say... as only one thing was guiding us

“... Dream more than others think is practical...”

  2. I dunno how you guys have managed, when most of us here in MBA end up whiling away all our free time- DP (mr. kavi), Samarth (hamaare Director saab), Gurpreet (nautanki personified) n sanmesh (urf raj malhotra) have actually gone ahead and managed to pursue their dreams and actually produced great works of theatre n drama ! Im proud of all of u.
    Rock on !! \m/
