Becoming civilized!

The days were looking rather bleak as 2008 rumbled on. I was tired of all the bad luck that I seem to be magnetically stuck with. Hence came the decision to check out something different every week. Couple of weeks back, it started with a play 'The Art' by Evam, which aroused my curiosity, if I may say, like Rochester, from 'The Libertine'. Felt that real people can be more profound that mere images.

Yesterday, I and Divya had a chance to check out 'The EarthSync Festival', in which Incognito was one of the main vocalists. It was a melange of unbelievably diverse musical styles. It was beautiful! Classical Indian from Incognito, Sufi music from three great old men, two Buddhist monks chanting mystic lines, a jugalbandhi with the flautist pitted against the violinist, Makudam players who operated in a trance. Not to mention two beautiful dancers whose motion was poetry. And awesome tunes too. The Laya project seems to be getting better and better!
