Dear Veronica,
I was wondering if besides the quality of the Konkani Dramas, is it also the careless attitude of the Contractors that is seeing the dwindling of Drama audiences in Kuwait?
Isn’t it time our contractors got more professional and did the following:-
1) Start the drama on time (or at least 15 minutes late, any longer than that is unacceptable)
2) Do not exceed 3.5 hours (seats are so uncomfortable)
3) The interval should not exceed 10 minutes
I know a lot of money is involved in a drama, but somebody must take the initiative. My daughter refuses to attend any more dramas with us because the whole process takes about 5 hours and she has no patience.
It’s just a thought.

Dear Mr. Veronica,
I have a request for you in case if you happen to know the organizers of the below mentioned show. Please request them to have a proper sound system so that everyone enjoys the Tiatro to its maximum. It was a horrible experience at the last show (20th June 2009) where people occupying the back rows had to strain their ears to hear the words. Looks like the organizers are only concerned about people sitting in front as nothing was being done even after being told very clearly to improve the clarity of the sound.
This has become a regular feature with these organizers in the past as they do not bother to improve and I am sure the day is not very far when people will start walking with the back speakers (which do not function) out of the hall. After all everyone pays to watch the drama and people are not asking for something more. If possible please highlight this issue on this forum in future. It is becoming increasingly disgusting.
