Last night was fun. Ranj and Ranj ( peh. cheap thrills. sriranj and ranj, actually) went to watch Mallika Sarabhai dance and Pandit Jasraj sing. from 8.30 pm to 1.30 am. Free of cost. beat that.
Besides the fact that we were starving ( having ignored food after lunch) and let down by the indoor auditorium ( we were expecting open air and nice chills, we had even taken shawls) — it was heavenly.
I have never seen mallika perform before. I would have loved to hear her speak. Pandit Jasraj and Sanjeev Abhyankar would have cost us a fortune elsewhere in other circumstances. Shamefully, I fell asleep last night in the middle of the concert. It was a long day, but the music was soothing and tipped me over to relax mode. I was dreaming music nevertheless.
Aah, and i should probably mention how we got the passes, but guilt itches. some other time, perhaps.
