Vasant Kunj Mall
Participants: Manishikha, Parul, Abhilash, Mallika, Mohit
Observers : Mallika and Manishikha
A quieter mall with a lot of
people just hanging around. Less crowded as well. We started playing and soon
people got curious. As curiousity grew, the anxiety of the guards grew as well
and as usually does happen in malls, we were asked to stop and taken to speak
to the security head. They had a problem with the ball... what ball? we asked!
After convincing them of the 'harmlessness' of what we were doing, we carried
on. It was a high energy game... the ball went afar many a times... we ran
around a lot to catch it... after a burst of 45 minutes, we stopped and had ice
cream at Gianis. The same questions surface again and again... why do you do
this? What for? For whom? People play but I [Mallika] wonder if they hold on to
anything afterwards... I wondered if we needed to get those small chits of
paper with the blog address etc like we had spoken of once...
I felt like we can keep
doing this. In new places. Between new people. But perhaps we need to revisit
or perhaps we need to define or redefine what we want out of this... in as
gentle a way as possible.
