City-based theatre group Tahatto believes life in an urban setting is hardly a box of chocolates. It is instead a full meal complete with all sorts of tastes and flavours. It is with this idea that they developed six urban-centric stories that bring out the different emotions and aspects of city life in this play titled Full Meal. Written and directed by Prashanth Nair and Badarivishal Kinhal, the stories are simple and deal with everyday incidents, while one delves into the life of a corporate professional who has just been fired and seeks solace in an automated telephone device, there is another about a man on the verge of committing suiicide.u00a0
