What do you make of a love story comprising a liar, a cop, two runaway circus kids, a guy called chai, a man resolved on suicide, another willing to help him in lieu of money, a bunch of pigeons who occasionally feel the need to break into song & dance and a lonely crow with an identity crisis?. At the farthest end of a deserted railway station a young man spins a story for his love. The story turns into its own raconteur and becomes a testimony of all those moments in life that we like to think of as quirky the odd broken pieces that never quite fit into the jigsaw puzzle, but are nonetheless preserved, in case someday we find a gap for them. Can all these sundry characters make a love story? Without love? And can it have a happy ending? They say it is possible. They say... Aisa Kehte Hain... Director's Note. I've been writing Aisa Kehte Hain for the last two years, and every new scene, every new draft, has made the play more and more bizarre. I'll be honest in saying that when I started writing it, the idea of breaking all my previous structures was uppermost in my mind rather than the idea of a musical. I am aware of the 'bizarre-ness' of my new play. The little story-lets stand independent. The thread stringing them is pliant and subjective. I have used background music before, and have used live singing minimally. But those were more for character enhancement and mood. Here it does not carry the play forward, or make an additional comment. The songs stand as independent little stories, much like the main story itself. Everything is a collage the little stories, the motley characters, the songs and the main story all thrown together in a salad bowl. I love salads!.
