feb 13th

The magic of being allowed in that private space of an artist.
As she weaves a painting,pouring the color of her soul in the canvas set by the audience.

I had the honour of being near the aura of Malvikka Sarukkaiji,rather Malvikka akka on the Feb 11th,12th and 13th of February. SPICMACAY Bangalore had invited Akka for a the world heritage series.
Like most NGO's the most interesting conversations happen between meetings,during navigation of Bangalore's traffic.
She performed at Airforce School Hebbal which was really challenging as children with short attention spans required akka to speak to them more,to engage them.
excerpts from a Tete-a-tete with the dancer
She weaved connections between maths,dance,miniature painting and sculpture.
Between noise the ability to create silence....Through movement highlight stillness...In her angles she highlighted the rasa theory.
In her rhythm in sync with the space around her, she mesmerised even time... bliss ecstasy expose experience sensitivity cultivate
create a world,larger than life, life itself,
space transcends time, reading between the lines
spirituality, devoid of dance.
poetic maths:- numbers of movements 3,5,9
improvisation between freedom and discipline
The deer's lament to Yudhistar evocative

Through Jimmy Wales Tweet I was led to the very serious 'wikia's' about popular TV shows in the world.

what I found most engaging was the Point of view with which these articles were written.

Also what intrigues me is the seriousness that the conversation tone on the discussion page has. I wonder if we got all the women to make wikia pages about their favourite characters on saas bahu sagas would that lead them to question what they are watching? would it lead to more pages being written about their own streets and local knowledge?

Also that Wikia works with Brands to engage and mobilise their fan base.

I remember akka's observations about advertisements....she was perplexed with irrelevant themes in some ads which left the viewer wondering about the product...and here the viewer is aggregating the ads that she wants to see...
