Aditya: Where did you get the idea from?
Kaamil: Err...er....I was looking at all these people in the park and the Reporter stood out.
Shiv: Was your final story similar to your first one? I mean, how much did it change from your natural thoughts through the process...
Kaamil: It changed quite a lot because you kept getting new ideas along the way..to improve the story. Like, I started adding different stories to the main story line...people I came across in the park.
Aditya: What was your favourite part in your story?
Kaamil: Talking about failure...all the jobs the Reporter lost and how he finally now has one. His job is now collecting stories.
Shiv: Do you still feel you can change things in the story? Give me an example.
Kaamil: Ya...the story can be improved. Like I could talk in more detail about the characters I saw. Adding their emotions and how they looked and what they were doing.
Aditya: What did you feel about the camera effect?
Kaamil: It was better with the camera because it's like you're there and you're actually looking at those people. Because I was looking just through the camera, capturing people's actions...like what they are doing with their hands...how they're standing. And it's all projected on the cyclorama, so you see actors and projections of the actors.
Shiv: Don't you feel losing 7 jobs is kind of unnatural?
Kaamil: It is unnatural but in a play you can exaggerate. It doesn't always have to be reality.
Rhea: What was your overall experience during rehearsal and the show?
Kaamil: It was something different...because most plays have a given script and are not unique..this was a different way of presenting a story.
Vaishali: How do you think you played a part in the whole structure?
Kaamil: By collecting all the stories and linking all of them together. And by going around and capturing the enacted images on video. Thus the Reporter is the Witness to all the stories.
Shiv: Leaving yours aside, which story was the most interesting?
Kaamil: I thought Vikram's story because of how he came from California..the drugs...and then wanting to open a bakery and bake bread.
Aditya: Did the music affect your performance?
Kaamil: I chose Where is the Love by Black Eyed Peas and the song kinda put the story together. It was then not only speech, but the emotions of the music also affected the theatricality.
Shiv: Do you feel that letting uncensored music play was fine?
Kaamil: Ya, it was.
Abhay: What did you learn by doing this play?
Kaamil: I learned, like, the way different people behave...and act...and the different types and ways of living life.
