Guest guest Posted February 11, 2002 Report Share Posted February 11, 2002 Many apologies to all for my long silence; I'm wrapped up in a demanding project at my work, and have asked Nora and Adi to kindly shoulder my share of the load during my absence. I hope to be back full-time within a couple of weeks and will check in as much as possible in the meantime. Please don't hesitate to contact me via e-mail (see my Profile page) if you need to get in touch in the interim. Upon returning I hope to begin filling out the photo albums and booklist, get to work on the new Club FAQ; post some essays I've been working on; and answer some of the great posts I see accumulating here. In the meantime, below is an interesting article that was brought to my attention this morning. Aum Maatangyai Namahe PTI [ TUESDAY, JANUARY 29, 2002 9:57:19 PM ] NEW DELHI: In an effort to promote the cause of girl child, leading exponents of various classsical dance forms including Kathak dancer Pandit Birju Maharj and Kuchipudi exponents Radha and Raja Reddy will perform in capital tomorrow. The event Kaladarpanam, organised by an NGO Kalahetu will also witness three generations of the legendry Pandit Birju Maharaj's family performing together. Addressing a press conference ahead of the event, Pandit Birju Maharaj, who will perfom his choreography Shakti during the event, stressed that artists should come out in support of social causes. While appreciating Kalahetu's efforts in bringing the artists together, he said that such events will also help to promote traditional artforms among the younger generation. "My son Pt Deepak Maharj and my grand daughter will also be performing with me. So it is a special occassion for me," he said. "The idea is to spread awareness on the problems of the girl child using the artforms and the performances will deal with issues of freedom and equality," Pt Ram Mohan Maharaj younger brother of Pt Birju Maharaj, said about the event to be held at Kamani Auditorium. Performances by students of Klahetu as well Kalashram will also feature during the programme.
