Come weekend and all you want to do is have some fun. Shilpa Bansal draws a list of stuff you can do over the weekend to make it an interesting one.
The Curtain raises again
If you are in for something more stimulating this weekend, then you must catch this play. To be staged at Jagriti’s Curtain Raiser, So Many Socks is based on the works of Tenzin Tsundue, the Tibetan writer-activist. Written by Annie Zaidi and directed by Quasar Thakore Padamsee, So Many Socks narrates the story of three generations of a Tibetan family (living in exile in India) who find themselves stuck in different corners of a circle. A pair of boots and many socks are all that accompany them on their journey to find a place that each can call their home. And that’s when the curtains go up.
At Jagriti Theatre, Varthur, Whitefield
On March 22 and 23, 8pm onwards and on March 24, 3 and 6.30pm onwards

Watch how this actor-comedian takes you on an unforgettable tour of the city of Mumbai.
He’s going to get you ROFL as he dissects the life of an actor who doesn’t have a producer uncle and takes you through the suburbs of Andheri, underarm fairness cream ads; from Bollywood cinema and struggling actors and local trains. This is as funny as it can get.
