Chikka on Roll

Chikka on Roll is a heartfelt live poetry and storytelling experience by Ruchika Lohiya that takes audiences through the highs, lows, confusion, humour, and emotions that often come with growing up and finding your way through life.

Through a combination of poetry, spoken word, storytelling, and humour in Hindi and English, Ruchika explores themes that are deeply connected to everyday experiences. From navigating adulthood and relationships to friendships, love, heartbreak, healing, and mental health, the performance turns personal experiences into stories and words that audiences can connect with.

A central theme of Chikka on Roll is the experience of being in your twenties—the stage of life where people are often figuring out careers, relationships, friendships, identity, and their own understanding of happiness and growth. The show approaches these experiences with honesty while bringing moments of humour and warmth to subjects that can sometimes feel difficult to express.

The performance is not limited to conventional poetry. It combines expressive writing with storytelling and spoken-word elements, allowing different emotions and experiences to come alive on stage. The result is an intimate and relatable experience where audiences can find pieces of their own lives in the stories being shared.

Whether you are navigating your twenties, experiencing changes in relationships, working through personal growth, or simply enjoy poetry and meaningful storytelling, Chikka on Roll offers an opportunity to pause, listen, laugh, and reflect. It is a live experience built around conversations about life, emotions, relationships, healing, and the little moments that shape who we become.
