Thatched roof covering the smooth and chill pyol or the thinnai…….. beautifully decorated with kolams and surrounded by lush lawns..... with terracotta miniatures of huge elephants and horses…….. a blend of red, green and yellow…… the shine of the fire ball to add radiance to the scene……… and few incense sticks to add flavour……..! A perfect setting for a thandava…….. rather an "ananda thandava"……. The ancient hobby of our gods……….! What more does one want than this…… to start dancing to the tunes of great maestros…….?! A brisk n beautiful exercise…. Which makes the siesta an hour past this worthwhile…. As the metabolic rates gets doubled after these rhythmic jerks!
But dance means much more than just a hobby or exercise……..!! It’s a way of life….! An elegant outburst of emotions…….!! Eloquent process of story telling……. Perfect portrayal of personalities……… and a beautiful blend of melody n matter………!It shapes the body to bring out the beauty within……… teaches the face to emote from the soul…….!! Builds confidence and an acute sense of rhythm n expression.....….!
So what do we wait for........... summer?...... to start Tha.. thai.. didh.. tha..??!!
