NUKKAD
The metropolis has been a muse for Alok Uniyal repeatedly and he has captured its many nuances and idiosyncrasies over the years. This time he returns to the city in order to capture the magic of the ‘Nukkad’ or the street corner, that is a hub of activity and melting pot of the everyday life of everyday citizens. The works express simple joys and activities of the not so affluent city dwellers. This is a commentary on the real and unpretentious life of the city, away from the limelight and glamour. It talks about the ordinary people who contribute to the grandeur of the metropolis. Everything from the bandwalas when off duty, to the young lovers on a scooter, and the aspiring couple taking ‘selfies’, is seen with the back drop of the small shops and autos and narrow streets. It almost feels like a peak into the green room while the actors are taking a break from their performance. The choice of characters and the setting in which they appear, makes this show endearing and heart warming in a modest and unassuming manner.
