The Performance
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yashoda Thakore performs Vilasini Natyam, the ritual, ceremonial and operatic-dance legacy of the Andhra Devadasis (courtesans). This art differs in technique from the Purusha sampradayam which evolved into Kuchipudi. Though Vilasini Natyam movements appear quite essentially feminine, it has nearly a hundred Adavus (dance units) including the Tandava (masculine) and Lasya (feminine) aspects. Vilasini Natyam's complex Abhinaya is widely acknowledged and its extensive repertoire comprises temple dances, court dances and dance operas of the hereditary female singer-dancer of Telugu origin.
This graffiti tunnel is on the campus of NC State in Raleigh, North Carolina, USA. Free expression within the confines of this tunnel has been a long celebrated tradition of NC State University. Members of the campus community are welcome to express ideas and thoughts.
The tunnel, originally built in 1939, was made accessible and rededicated August 2006. The tunnel allows for easy passage from one section of the campus to another under a railroad track that passes nearby the campus.
I dunno - it looks like an expression to me. This is one of the I think 5 or 6 feral cats my neighbor cares for. She is losing her home but used her tax return last year to trap 5 of them, then had them spayed/neutered. She keeps the door in the basement open at night until they are all in, thus letting out the heat, but the cats are safe. She feeds them and loves them best she can. She is one awesome lady.

The National Theatre of Scotland has been working with S3 pupils (aged 13/14) at Kilwinning Academy to produce an exhibition of photographs called First Time You Saw Me.
During weeks of workshops, a delightful group of people from NTS have been helping the children to find a way of expressing themselves in a few words and then finding an interesting way to present that text. I was called in to take the pictures last week: here is one of them.
This weekend, the students of DePauw University will unite with a tremendous display of campus support for the 2005 Special Olympics Indiana Women's State Basketball Tournament. Thirty-eight Special Olympics Indiana basketball teams will compete Saturday and Sunday, March 12 and 13 in state championship competition at the University's Lilly Physical Education and Recreation Center. The event takes place, in part, thanks to the support of the Finish Line® Youth Foundation.
"DePauw basically adopts this event and does the nuts and bolts to make it happen," said Scott Mingle, assistant director of sports management for Special Olympics Indiana. "The students do so much, from getting tables and special olympics logo.gifchairs in place to providing volunteers to run registration and serve as court captains, timekeepers, scorers and announcers. They house Special Olympics athletes, throw parties for the teams, and ensure that the athletes experience this as a big-time tournament."
Thirty-eight teams consisting of 382 players will compete Saturday and Sunday at the annual state championship -- the world's largest Special Olympics women's basketball tournament. Athletes range in age from nine to 61.
Tournament competition includes rounds of play in 10 divisions organized by team ability level. Prior to competing in the state tournament, all teams completed a required minimum of eight weeks of training and played at least two games within the Special Olympics Indiana basketball program. All state tournament games will play on the courts of the main gymnasium at the Lilly Center.

Last afternoon I took several portraits of Abhishek at the upper terrace of our office in Vanarasi (Benaras).
