Phantom of the Opera

Re: # 43 Hi everybody i i think some people have got somewhat ``KHUSHFEHMI`` u can say that people are actually giving so much attention to them and believe me this disease is really dangerous for their health. I will be very happy to help u out of this dilema.

#47 - I think you have some issues that make you find serious interacts funny and your own incoherent composition ``sensible``. In addition to that, you lack basic decency in your interacts. Please stop extracting words from others` interacts to come back at them. It reflects poor communication skills.

(I just wish no one else on Chowk EVER watches Phantom that many times. Those of us who are into art, theatre and culture, we find it very disturbing to read your state of mind. May God grant you peace and harmony in 2007 and also route you to the right bookstore for the latest Time-Out Issue. Amen!)

Good Luck!
Note: You have an option to put me on your ignore list. I would strongly encourage you to do that. My critique is toward your posts so just read them in the right context. No need to medically evaluate them. It`s even funnier when you start doing it. Let`s leave it at that.

Dear Aisha_sarwari

Yes, I found your description of whatever, a personal attack for those who differ from your POV. I hope you just stick to the main topic of your article and show more professionalism.

Thanks for responding.

You are wrong, It`s you who really need to grow up. Your whole interaction is gibberish. And not only gibberish, but, full of nonsense.

How many times I requested you not to interact with me? You see , now, you didn`t take a second to attack me personally. What`s your beef with me? do I know you? No. And I don`t wish to know you either.

Childish and funny that is you. LOL(I am not the topic of the article, madam)

Why are you so dheeth?

Re: # 41

Why would you find my description of the phantom a personal attack, I wonder?

Re: # 44

Gibberish. Grow up!

I am waiting for another nick to come back along with the writer and start ranting. LOL

This is sooooo very funny for me. Childish...huh

orotund

New nick of an old chowkie. LOL

All these Pakis are personally attacking me. LOL.

This is the height of their illgoical approach. I am not the topic of the article. And almost all of them are trying their head over heels to knock me down with their useless rants.

Coming back and forth with new nick. LOL. Funny, hahahahahah

Re: # 41

Well said Aisha as u have really supported the fact to discourage illogical critics and i think the person advising you should take a look at his own writing as the height of the lost temper and morality is quite vivid from the writing but I also dont agree with the description of the phantom u have made as he is actually the main character of the drama around which the whole story revolves.I think at the end he proved to be a really good guy actually forced by the negelection of the society to carve his way to darkness.

Phantom of Opera

This is the character of a disfigured musical genius who is actually hero and is matchless in his character and genius mind.

#40 LOL

Total twisted concept and essence of the phantom of Opera. This reflects your biasedness and personal conflict to the ones who don`t agree with your POV and your narrow approach towards those who criticise your article, not you.

Look @ you, you took NO time to personally attack those who disagree with you. WoW!!!

This is what you studied drama , journalism and films from? tsk, tsk, tsk.
I am not phantom, you did not write this article about me.

I just gave my pov. And look @ you all hissing over my critical posts. Where did I attack you personally?

If any writer doesn`t have a courage to take criticism and is ready to personally attack the readers reviews , my suggestion is then don`t even dare to write anything for any web site.

If, writers are unable to grasp readers opinions, then they should first learn , how to handle the stress of criticism over a public web site.

So, at the end, who is a Phantom?

Obviously, the one who is unable to comprehend all the posts and starts retaliation in a derogatory way. Who is unable to take confrontation and starts acting Phantom. LOL, again.

This board with lots of multiple nicks of old chowkie. LOL.

Who is a Phantom?

Someone who`d rather live in the underground, appear larger than life by creating a false sense of mystique/importance, display the characteristics of control, clever evil, live on the criticism of the talents of others, only appear in public with a mask, underplay their own limitations when confronted by belittling the source, acting aggressive, assertive, overconfident, all-learned, and hiding behind a repeated utopia of real theater to which he/she seemingly aspires, yet crush any divisible goal toward it.

Enough said.

Ian,

Good to see you here on Chowk. Each day you folks perform, ending in applause, you teach more people the culture of theater. Its a great contribution.

This was a good line, ``What personally irks me is when people make far reaching comparisons between productions here to productions that have been staged abroad, it is like comparing Mexican to gorgonzola cheese, of course productions abroad will be better, they are better organized, better funded and have thousands of professionally trained individuals at their disposal.``

Sincerely,

Aisha Sarwari

Re: # 38
Thanks alot

Re: # 24

Well said.

Re: # 35
Nooooooops not at all its not an old chowkie its a brand new one now if some body cannot gather some supporters for his/her illogical ideas what can we say. I think its like the behaviour of our political parties nowadays who believe that ``If there are fair elections they will win but if they dont win the elections were not conducted fair enough``. I can only request people to be optimistic as if they are not able to do something atleast support the one who has taken some initiative.

@zeena

no.. i`m writing for the first time in this forum! Nothing in the world is absolute at its vry first instant, it takes time. i`m vry hopeful that theatre in pakistan wud go far (simply by adoring this effort.....)

Another new nik by an old chowkie. LOL

Hi Everybody;

This the first time I am going to share my views in writing on a forum. As a silent viewer and admirer I am forced to write on seeing some really sarcastic and discouraging comments about the play “THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA”. I went to watch the play last night that is on 9th of January and I was really amused to see such strong and beautiful performances by the artists who haven’t even got a single “FORMAL LECTURE” on performing arts. They are merely doing it in the guidance of charismatic MR Sharabeel, his back stage team and their personal talent which was like pouring out of them.
Rudaba Nasir acting as Christine was really awesome. Her delivery of dialogues, beautiful voice, facial expressions and her stamina to perform for such an exhaustive period of time in front of a big crowd nearly makes her a perfect candidate for the role. Ian Eldred (Raoul) and Nauman Faizi (Gerald) were really worth watching while performance as they were really fulfilling the need of their characters and above all the pick of the drama was the performance of “THE PHANTOM” himself .The role was performed up to excellence by Omair Rana who was so passionate in delivering the dialogues that even the mask he was wearing could not hide the expressions of anger, hate and love on his face in different scenes of the play.
The rhythm and tempo along with the use of music were made such that no one can take his/her eyes of the stage at least I couldn’t .The set,lighting,choreography,music,makeup,costumes and above all the delivery of dialogues was marvelous.
As I have noticed some people immediately start comparing, what they see, with foreign countries. I don’t know if they have got some phobia of comparison or some inferiority complex regarding their local things but I haven’t ever heard a single word of optimism or a useful suggestion from such people. Anyhow I can only suggest rather request MR Sharabeel not to get disheartened by such illogical critics and continue to put on far better performances with the same zeal , zest and creativity. On the other hand I congratulate MR Sharabeel on involving the youth at so tender age in his plays which can help in boosting their confidence and will help in preparing a breeding ground for future prospects. Looking forward for your next performances and also offering my heartiest congratulations to all the participants of the play wither back stage or onstage on conducting such a beautiful play and also thanks a lot to WARID TELECOM for bringing such a beautiful play to us.
