I have been thinking on various accounts as to what really defines a person’s culture. Is it language, cuisine, attire or knowledge of the ancient scriptures. If you ask me .. I know lil bit of all this and I speak in more than one language, dress according to my comfort and sometimes the occasion and enjoy many cuisines. That I am not sure makes me very cultured or a mixed personality who gets to her roots once in a while.

I got this sudden urge since the last few days to listen to classical Indian music, attend an ‘arangetram’ of a budding new Bharatnatyam dancer, read something more philosophical, attend a beautiful story telling event at Bimba’s Rasaloka. I managed to all of this and felt happy that I somewhere connect with my culture that I believe for that moment. Enjoyed all of them thoroughly.

Planing to do something that will enhance my knowledge and others who visit Bangalore regarding its vibrant and splendid culture. Hope that will be my goal in 2014.

Happy Dasara. Those who missed going to Mysore for the 9-day event ..don’t worry. Bangalore has got lots to offer in terms of culture. Come and enjoy the spirit of nada habba.
