POIGNANCY
The silence, was broken by a sobIn the darkness, a shadow trembled
The air was damp, with unshed tears...
...and had a strange smell of sorrow
The melancholic gloom..of a broken spirit, a bruised heart..
dying a slow death...in deafening desolation!
- Romi Mittal
As the list of beloved and admired artistes being felled by the virulent India-B 16:17 variant increases almost daily, all of India is in intense lockdown mode. The rest of the world seems to be slowly unfurling into a quieter and more cautious movement towards "normalcy". The gates of homes are open, sidewalks are spilling over with friends finally meeting over coffee and endless chatter, and yes, artistes are prepping for some outdoor events this summer.
But not in India, as we seem to be facing a never ending stretch of dreary monotony.

ReplyDeleteFor the kind attention of Kalakshetra Chairman, Director and others interested in the institution. See the list below published in the Narthaki Online by Dr. Anita Ratnam.
These members may be good in their respective fields and probably they will perform in the Kalakshetra theatre. But Please note none of them will be in a position to help the institution with artistic contribution and enhance the funding position or generate funds for the institution. At least a few philanthropists and heads of charitable funding bodies and Heads of commercial houses who have interest in art & culture should be included in the Board. My humble suggestion please.
