Hello all .......

I am happy today!

This happiness is a carried over joy from yesterday's play Hayavadana by BENAKA at the Bangalore's Colosseum RangaShankara!!!

Written by Gnana Peetha prashasti vijeta Dr.Girish Karnad and directed by the gr8 B.V Karanth, yest evening could not have been spent in a better way i guess. And that too due to the kindness of a stranger who happened to have ONE(yes exactly one!!) extra ticket on a Wednesday Evening at a House Full RS !!! I mean was that just perfect or what?!? Would also like to draw attention to the fact that RS was housefull on a Mid weekday!! Hmmmm namma bangalore starting to appreciate art?!? Good for them !!

Anyways, although the play is too long (2 and a half hours!!! of pure awesome talent disply tho )to be described here, what i would like to emphasize for anybody who is convinced by this post to go n watch it(yeah next weekend replay) is the nature of this play. Its basically a fictional story with such a wicked sense of humour set into the storyline, and the main thing that attracted my attention was that it was an outright traditional nataka! song, dance and pure acting talent and emotional display( everything YES everything done by the actors themselves! no choreography/playback singing here NO SIR!!)

Now lemme get to the piece of news that has maintained my state of happiness....for some this might be a 'ohhhhhhhh ishte na piece of news' but for me ........ ahhhhhhh

The following football jerseys are scheduled to arrive in Bangalore courtesy my brother's awesomely good deed!!! :

here goes....these are four players whose skill n talent i adore n respect : They are probably 4 of THE greatest in the world right now.....in short, put all of em in one team and u have a winner!!!!

P.S : the topic of this blog is a part of a song sung yesterday at RangaShankara in the wonderful play!!
