"These are White Jasmine Flowers in my Hair...

... And not the River Ganges on my Head."


Went to see Geeta Chandran dance (Bharatanatyam) last night, with Reyl. :-)

It was awesome.

In fact, I will be using 'awesome' as a descriptor for the remainder of the post, just to give you an idea of *how* awesome it was. :-)

The above quotation is from (or at least paraphrased from) a humorous poem making fun of Siva. :-D
I think it's awesome that such a type of poetry exists. :-)

The dance for Nata Raja was intense and awesome and gripping, as well it should have been. Very well done. :-D (It was my favourite). :-)

She danced to a spoken-word piece - "There He Goes, Just Like Anybody Else" - which the MC read (and read very well). The words and the dance moved together beautifully. :-)

I also think that it's really cool that the show starts and ends with a prayer (the first, sung; the last, danced). That's really neat. :-)

Very cool, very, very awesome. :-D

Thanks, Reyl! :-D
