Street Play at Forum Mall, Bengaluru
Symbiosis Institute of Business Management,
Bengaluru organized a street play at Forum Mall, Bengaluru to mark
the anniversary of the terrorist attacks that shook Mumbai on 26th November,
2008 and to pay tribute to all the people who lost their lives. The street play was
witnessed by onlookers in and around Forum mall, a prime location in
Koramangala, Bengaluru.
The play, which was organized by SIBM-B’s Social Responsibility
Committee in coordination with their dramatics club, Jzaa, focused on the theme of Humanitarianism- which emphasized on the
ethic of extending kindness and sympathy and showing benevolence to all human
beings. The play brought to light the ways in which we, as common people, can
bring about a change and help curb societal problems by acting well within our
power. The play depicted everyday scenarios which we face like spitting in
public, urinating in public, apathy of the public during the event of an
accident and rape. It also portrayed how the fast and busy pace of life had
made human beings selfish.
Through this endeavor, SIBM hopes to sensitize the people of Bengaluru to
the persistent social and civic problems that torment our society and bring to
light, solutions that we, as common people, can implement by taking matters
into our own hands in an attempt to make society a better place to live in.
Aditya Chiruthapudi, coordinator Social Responsibility
Committee, said, “The annual street play endeavor has been SIBM-B's way of
conveying a strong message to the citizens that we are awake and ready to act to upon the troubles that torment our
society, and so should you. It gives me great pride and satisfaction to
work with a talented dramatics club in organizing such an impactful event
for a social cause”.
Chetan
Gupta, member Jzaa, the Dramatics Club, quoted, “Our purpose was to
bring out and live every emotion of life and to make people aware and socially
responsible towards the society. It was a learning as well as realization for
most of the students which was appreciated by the audience during feedback.”
