DESCRIPTION
The Perfect Slap is a multi layered piece which, on the
surface level deals with the timing, coincidence, craving to reach the
perfect and the moment of now & here while on a deeper level it
explores the intangible zone of mind- the various psychological states
of mind in response to social and personal life situations such as
phenomenon of self pity, fear, ego, disgrace, insult, aggression, blame
and complaint etc. as well as religious, social and private rituals and repetitive behaviours one goes through without being aware of them.
The Perfect Slap also refers to the
psychological ailment called OCD which is actually a state of mind just
like self shackled – ironically an obsession to reach a moment of peace
and satisfaction and loosing the touch with the reality around which is
also a metaphor for our illusionized daily life filled with
unawareness!!!
The Perfect Slap is also a wake up call which compels you to think and connect with your own self.

world can’t put you down unless you allow it to get inside you.” – goi
