Mambalam lacks in sensibilities that Mylapore is good at

The tricolor fluttering atop this prominent building in T - Nagar certainly gives pride to all Indians. But it is not an honor to our National Flag to toil all through day and night without a purpose. It is also not legal! This picture was shot on 4th of May and effort was made to inform responsible people in the building of the fact. Though the assurance was given to do the amend, the flag was seen even week after it! Why no authorities have taken note of it?

Mambalam lacks in sensibilities that Mylapore is good at.

Vasanthothsava Romance

The Vasanthothsavam at Kapali Temple got concluded with a giant Pushpapallakku. The season marks love and romance and it seems to be happening amidst the curious onlookers of this floral decoration.

'Wild' Life photo

A 'Wild' Life photo shot in urban Mylapore! The person tending these animals at a Temple in Mylapore had bizarre experience in explaining this scene to the kids poking him with questions?

Disservice to Art and disloyal to the profession!!

Mylapore is the seat of traditional fine arts like Bharathanatyam and Sastriya sangeethams. The Mylapore Sabhas are nowadays are behind the classical dancers who are ready to pay their way for their chance. See what these dancers have done to this art. You can see in the above pictures that one of the dancer is dancing without any accompanying artistes! Yes she has chosen to do her steps to recorded music played from background!! 

One of the Sabha secretary lamented that it is like playing cricket match with bowling machine for bowlers. The artistes see it as saving on their expense but fail to notice that they are doing it at the cost of the loss of value and esteem for this art. Moreover the artistes also think that they are paying unnecessarily to their Guru for the Nattuvangam rather than seeing it as Gurudakshina for supporting them to perform on the stage. Is it not disservice to the art and disloyalty to the profession?

Who is to blame for this? The artistes who do it or the Sabhas that permit it?
