Maya Rao
Wednesday, October 1, 2008
Dr Maya Rao at the Natya Institute of Kathak and Choreography.
I always love to feel susceptible to a strong aura, especially when it comes from a great personality like Maya Rao. I stood watching the genuine respect and affection that people around her showered her with and as an ordinary soul I felt immensely fortunate to even have a little conversation in private with her.
Her simplicity and humility made my eyes moist and I did not know anything except to touch her feet and seek her blessing.

Portrait of a neighbour
Thursday, August 7, 2008
'Its a new place', she says, very different from the green valley that surrounds my home in Coorg. The tarmac ain't even but the street dogs are friendly and there are still vacant spaces for a game after school. I prefer to go dancing in the evening than take tuitions at Meera aunty's. But I join her later to talk to friends and finish my homework.
The streets feel deserted at night. The lights dont reach the ground because of the honge trees. There is always a strange feeling that something else existed here.
