In the spotlite

The town is a nice size for an evening stroll – enough rush hour and after dinner street activity to entertain. Mini India by night.



The dance festival crowds are getting bigger – and the security less rigid as the girls from the local “Ladies Only Police Station” get back on top of affairs on their regular beat.



Some modern moves and tunes nicely choreographed by the Classical Dancers of NITT - the National Institute of Technology at Thiruchirapilli.



Stage left offers the best standing access to the show – photography is made trickier by the intense spotlight shining from stage right.

This Bob Fosse fan left shaken and smilin.

...

So then I checked out the daba into which I had drifted last night and enjoyed a fine tali and some interesting discussion about ... well ... the question.

"Do they wash the banana leaves?"

Louise de France disait que "certainement" mais Janet de Ireland était fortement contre. Mois j'étais curieuse - donc le retour aujourd’hui pour prendre une invitation dans le cuisine. Tomorrow at 1800 was today's answer from the staff. They have some investment in the mystery.
