Jab dil udaas udaas rehta hain
Jaane kaun aas paas rehta hain,
Koi wada nahi kiya lekin
Jaane kyu tera intezaar rehta hain.

So, this is it. Prithvi Theatre. To be honest, I am nervous as hell. There is a good of deal questions revolving in my mind. Did I make a mistake by coming here? Will I be able to do this? Or I am just thinking way too much about it.
"What's good, man?" I asked Ahaan, hugging him.
"You," Ahaan replied.
"That's smooth." Saying, I smirked.
"Learned from the best." Ahaan hit back.
"Oh!! enough of our personal talk, now. Introduce me to your group." I said.
"Okay. Let's go."
"Aryan, this is my friend, Rishi, He'll be helping us with our play," Ahaan said, introducing me to Rishi.
We both greeted each other, saying 'hi' and shaking hands.
"And this is our group," said Rishi, pointing towards a bunch of youngsters and teenagers who were looking at me, amazed.
I could also sense the tension around me. "Hi everyone. What's up? All good?" I said, trying to sound cool.
"Hello." everyone said in a single tone.
I thought of having an introductory session to create a healthy atmosphere.
"So, everyone's here? I hope so. Okay. Introduce yourself. Like, tell your name, age, kind of work you do, hobbies, etc. By this way, we all will be able to know each other better, and we'll be able to enjoy working with each other." I said.
"Let's begin," said Rishi.
"It'll be so much fun," said Ahaan.
"Yes!!!!!" everyone said, again in a single tone. As if everything was preplanned.
After everyone introduced themselves, Ahaan insisted me to introduce myself. To which I obviously said no.
"Sir, please. It's our request." a few students said, in a pleasing tone.
"No. Please, guys. Not this time. Some other day." I replied.
"Is everyone here?" I asked because I saw an empty chair.
"Not everyone is here." Rishi said, hesitating.
"Who isn't here? And why?" I asked getting annoyed.
