In trying to be nothing but the best, you end up not taking that small flight that you are meant to take. But there are a whole lot like me who can do 5 things that we know of and do 3 more things that we may not know but others can see. Lucky are those people who have this one talent and are super-successful in that one thing. I did it all to showcase my talent, to stay visible, to earn while I learnt something new.
I was so determined to succeed that I decided I would take the first bus that comes my way and takes me forward in my journey to my destination. I quickly get my bus and that day after changing so many buses I reach my rehearsals absolutely on time. At Santacruz I get very lucky because every other bus goes to Juhu. I get down at Bandra and get into the Santacruz bus. At least I will go 4 kms ahead in the journey. Next day at the same bus stop at Sion, while waiting for 255 I see another bus that says Bandra.

Suddenly what was a disciplined queue turns into chaos because everybody has to get onto the bus. After 35 minutes or so I see a 255 approaching the bus stop.

Raj apni acting se raj karti hain kirdaaron mein. To her close associates she is known as Raj.

Transcribing her voice-mail replies was a task at hand, because at my age my shoulders and hands are physiotherapy dependent. She has a fine, mellifluous voice as an actor and singer, as also an orientation in dancing. Today as a 46 year old she has a work profile that is selective and admirable. She did her Masters in English Literature from Mumbai University.Īfter a considerable gap I suddenly saw her bloom into a very fine young actor. Little Rajeshwari went to the Little Angels High School in Bombay and to Guru Nanak Khalsa College. I remember him with his turban.” She has a brother. Dad cut his hair because he was acting on stage. Her father, Mr Inderjeet Singh Sachdev is a Sikh and mother Meenakshi is an Iyer Tamil Brahmin from Pallakad in Kerala.
She was like a child of IPTA because her father and mother were active there. My earliest memory of Rajeshwari takes me back to the mid-1980s at Mumbai Indian People’s Theatre Association (IPTA) functions.
