This afternoon we'd the privilege of being part of an onam celebration of a nearby residential area. Preceding the lunch was a variety entertainment programme that was simply awesome by the wide cultural spread of its contents, the colourful and bright costumes and the energy and the enthusiasm displayed by every participant - from the young to the old.
The outstanding three who really stood out during the spectacular show were:-
(a) Fiona. Three year old kindergarten student came in the 'Mohiniyaattam' finery and she was angelic. It
was great to see her swaying to the tunes, while standing at the sidelines, waiting patiently for
her turn.
(b) Rajashree. The 13 year old was simply great as she swayed to the famous 'Mera piya aaya...' from the
movie 'Hum Apke Hain Kaun'. She simply beat Madhuri Dixit in performance.
(c) Daisy. The 15 year old's expressions were apt and mind blowing. She was performing on the 'Hawa
hawai....'
What a wonderful afternoon! May the budding artistes go on to prove their mettle in the years to come.
Take a bow, Li'l Fiona, Rajashree and Daisy! You've really stolen my heart!!
Tailpiece.
Adieu, Dr. Verghese Kurien!
He'd put the dusty, agricultural village of Anand on the world's map as India's milk capital. He and his team were pioneers in the art of processing milk powder and cheese from buffalo's milk - in India, buffalo's milk is the main raw material, unlike Europe and other parts, where cow's milk is abundant! Credit also goes to him for nurturing Amul as the country's biggest food brand.
Truly a man of vision. My humble prayers. RIP, Dr. Verghese Kurien!
