Teacher Mode

Back from an amazing holiday. Wading, paddling, drowning through the scheme of things, now that I’m home.

Day and Night Dreams are interspersed with old realities of Italian basilica, Parisian railway stations, languages..

Fighting sleep, and Being unable to sleep.

Once back, into the thick of things.

Work. Home. Music. Rehearsals. Classes.

A temple fund raiser last evening.

109 children participated in an evening of dance, music, culture, fine arts.

My student vainikas, 22 of them, ranging in age from 5 to 23, performed geethams, krithis, thirupugazhs.

To get into teacher mode, donned this mustard and gold silk with embossed buttis, shocking pink border and pallu. Gold border features an array of graceful blue green gold peacocks.

Just imagine, I carried through the UK, Europe, UAE, Bali a soft silk Saree. Said Saree sat in suitcase. The heat wave coupled with 10 kms walk per day, umpteen flights of steep stairs proved a surefire deterrent. I will probably transpose images of Saree clad moi on architecturally iconic structures 🙊🤣. Later. For now, this should suffice.
