Minal is both a mummy and moksha seeker and if her Moksha was a quest for a new dance aesthetics in Bharatanatyam then she succeeded admirably at Alliance Francaise, Bangalore. Bringing in an international cast was both a boon and doom because one each student from London (Ritika Srikanth), Boston (Manasi) and 'Frisco (Janaki) showed virtual learning and internationalism in Indian dance and yet a repeat show will not be easy to collect them again, unless someone bank rolls it or sends their private plane to fetch each and drop back. Manasi and Janaki are sisters, besides.

DeleteYou were cute @ 6. What happened? But seriously, enjoyed this ‘Conversational piece ‘. In reverence of your penmanship, am rechristening our Khohar Haveli as Khokhar Haveli. Lifetime free membership!!
ReplyDeleteWas? Im told I'm still an enfant terrible! Haha . Khokhar Haveli is greatly welcome, even if in namesake, as after 40 years in Delhi,we still dont possess a flat even. Parents put all in creating India's largest dance archives and collection, the Saroja Mohan Dance Collection now gifted to the nation @ IGNCA, Janpath.
