An initiative by a Mumbai-based theatre artiste has young actors putting out a monologue every week, for 100 weeks

Sonu Anand, who came to Mumbai from Jharkhand in 2006 to do theatre, always loved memorising monologues. So, he decided to work on his craft further and set a goal of uploading 100 monologues in 100 weeks. But his personal goal turned into a collective one when he discussed the idea with his friends.
"They were hesitant to participate at first because 100 weeks spans over two years. That, for them, was a long commitment. So, eventually about 70 people came on board; we made a WhatsApp group, and a page on Instagram and Facebook in May," Anand shares. Initially, they set a target to compulsorily have submissions on Mondays and those who fail to send entries would be eliminated from the exercise. But given that it's a hard time for everyone right now, the rule was relaxed although eliminations will be in place starting the first week of October.
