    Parichaya

    For the past couple of months, I had been involved in organising a cultural show that aimed at showcasing elements of Indian culture. The show was held on 11 May 2006 at the Ramo Auditorium in Caltech. The show comprised a Carnatic music concert by Prabha Mandayam (accompanied by Naresh Satyan on the flute and me on the violin), a "one-act" play titled 'Tales from a Stormy Night', a rendition of two songs from vintage Hindi movies by Chaitanya Swamy and Prabha Mandayam (accompanied by Mayank Bakshi on the harmonica), a dance performance by Iram Parveen Bilal and Radhika Marathe based on the song 'Dola Re Dola Re' from the movie 'Devdas' and finally, the premiere of an indigenously made movie, 'Made in Heaven.. Arranged in Mumbai' which I had the pleasure of directing.

    Needless to say, each individual part of the show entailed significant effort and planning; my particular involvement in three of these items -- I played one of three lead roles in the play -- meant weaning myself away from the regular pursuits of the Web and contributing to this page. It is good to be back.
