Stage of resurgence
When in 1999, the first show of the play Court Martial was staged at the Tagore Theatre in Chandigarh, the play crew went to the Rose Garden to request visitors to come and watch them. In 2013, the 400th show of the same play opened to a jam-packed theatre with some 1000 plus viewers; seats full, people on stairs and standing next to the walls.

Sleep tight
Sleep deprivation can affect you in many ways, ranging from the subtle to the obvious. The amount and quality of sleep you get greatly affects your stress levels. Sometimes you become more reactive to daily stressors and less able to cope with life effectively. Your levels of stress and the way you cope with them can create problems for your sleep. This can also turn into a vicious cycle for your life.
