Guys, i was so delighted to come across this poster when i was backstage at the magnificent Opera House, escorted by a charming guide - who, hello!!! just turned out to be my husband's old school mate from Kolkata! Call that a coincidence? Michael Johannes, an Armenian rugby player, left India decades ago, married an Aussie girl and has lived happily ever after. But his heart still goes dhak dhak for our desh and he misses tea and cakes at Flurry's on Park Street the most!
By the way, the lady in the picture is Australia's gift to Opera, Joan Sutherland. Well... there we were tip- toeing into the innards of the Opera House when I spotted the great musician's poster. Raviji is ninety years old this year, and on a world tour with his lissome daughter Anushka. Old musicians never die, neither do they fade away. They are the true immortals. Jeeyo, Raviji, jeeyo.

ReplyDeleteWow!!! Well, I have to be honest here... I'm only looking at the second picture... and on the right corner of that picture. If that's you, Madame, then you're a dazzling lady!...
ReplyDeletePerhaps the false feeling of freedom in Australia seems a better lifestyle in minds of some of these young people who choose that over the asphixiation and slow death of self in poison polluted cities like Delhi and systematic destruction of moral conscience through systemic corruption in the society due to mounting pressures of achieving certain economic status. Perhaps being beaten up and bearing discrimination is a better alternative to that? Is that what our Dharma has become?
