Worls Puppet day-March 21, 2013
The puppetry story is a story 'Remembering and Forgetting' by Shri T. Rangarajan-Theatre artists from Hubli- Dharwad region, Karnataka.
It is about brain connection: when one wants to remember certain things but forgets, the only way to make them remember is - to ask them not to remember it. Result: One keeps remembering it all the time.
Similar is our habits too. The story revolves around a bald head King who wants to regrow hair on his bald head. So, he invites the best Ayurvedic specialist, Siddha specialist and so on. As everybody fail in their attempts, a clever man by name Bantuklal Patra takes the advantage of the situation and promises to regrow hair on bald head of the King within a month. He prepares a special oil and asks the King to apply it on his head everyday, with a condition that he should not eat, see, touch, hear think or remember cucumbers - as he says "cucumbers have negative impact and hence, the hair growth would not be possible". Need not mention that Cucumber is the only thing king remembers all day and all night!
