!!! BEING ON A SEVEN SEATER !!!

Before it was phat-phati (scooter-engine cab ) now seven-seater that are like road-bugs stroll but run on Hyderabad roads with a lot of option on halts for boarding and alighting; that option is a delight of Hyderabadis like me; I can say to be a Hyderabadi for my long stay in the city for Godly purpose that I believe so with all sincerity.

I had, yesterday such a delight for choosing a seven-seater to zoom through a hell of evening traffic that even discourages any heavenly entity to land up at that moment on a call-of-duty. But, being a mortal I had to be on road to attend a call-of-duty - to attend a wedding reception of a boy. My presence, atleast I took it important for the occasion. I have had a long acquaintance with his father and it is so good that I leave my head to him for atleast once in a month to get engaged over a cup of tea, in gossip on varieties of issues that thrive under our sky ... in reality under my roof.

Since long after I did that, taking a seven-seater. Got back the life that I lost being inside a private car. So much looking around and jostling in variety of people with a touch of humanly bodies as well as reality . Believe me : LIFE IS GOOD BEING ON A SEVEN-SEATER !

!!! LOVABLE RITUALS !!!

Last year Feb accidentally met some of my friends in a hotel in Bhubaneshwar to my surprise they had come to attend a 'sangit' of a marriage. I never heard of 'sangit' in Odia rituals. Later, I understood this has invaded Odisha courtesy TV serials. How slowly social cultural fabric changes !

Point for today, we attended an engagement ceremony of a neighborly girl, welleducated. It was in a hotel. But, with all rituals. A serene atmosphere of sloka chanting with 'shanai' and 'jodi-nagara' that make marriages and all 'subha-karya' so auspicious. Felt, why honorable Bismillah Khan looks so spiritual !

Let me confess 'I love lovely rituals' and equally get wild at ugly 'hip-hops' ! Don't know what's staring at me in future !

!!! NOT EVEN A TV-BALIYE !!!

TV screen is made for dance and music of obvious reasons for we much depressed Indians need entertainment on our living rooms so loud that entire house gets into mood; so cheap way to get into pink for we deshis. If you want to be at peace then shrink self to  a corner of the house.

Naach Baliye, Dance India Dance, Jhalak Dekhla Ja .... etc etc are  many on flat face for dears at home. Couldn't avoid a glance when 'Naach Baaliye' yesterday went for final on 'Star Plus'  atleast for the glamorous faces  I stared for few minutes for old habits that would take time to die,  believe me.

But I wonder how different classical dances are than these hip-hops (for me this is generic term that encompasses all types of contemporary dances) that need so much on stage for a performance. World has changed, so also dance the art. But, I couldn't ... (turn to a)  TV-Baliye !
