It is not very often that you find a person who juggles so many passions with ease. Sharada – the humour queen, the chatterbox, the writer. At times I wonder if there is anything this girl cannot do. Oh wait there is one thing she cannot keep her lips sealed for more than a minute.
My first introduction to the Amy Poehler of CBC was just days before her first stand up comedy act. I guess this is called the Almighty’s sense of timing. I just left her a small note wishing her the best for the gig. Our friendship began with that tiny good luck wish.
She was a puzzle atleast to me. As always I wasn’t sure. The usual doubts that creep in at the beginning of every friendship haunted me again. She surprised and startled me. It is not very often that people warm up to me without knowing my back story but here was someone who has willingly volunteered to be a lovely part of my life. I was desperately searching for the missing piece of the puzzle.
Beyond the daily dose of humour and our everyday conversations my heart still yearned for answers. One fine day she opens up with her own story. A story which touched my soul. I realized we had a strong common connection. We were both survivors striving to make a difference.
It is often said that people with a terrific sense of humour often have untold stories within that helps them re-discover themselves as comedians and comediennes. Sharada is a wonderful example on how to transform beyond life’s hard struggles.
She has a wonderful page too – Soul Scribbles filled with stories that will stir your soul and make you fall in love again.
I am eagerly waiting for her first book MAKEIT2 . Best wishes for the journey ahead.
