Sounds like it would be awesome. And yes I will probably get most of the double entendres. Shocks most people that I can speak. Marathi pretty well. Do they do a lavni to "hee pori konachi?" More lavni lyrics please we could sure do with more laughsAnonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03577180772513227109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3452007250221117551.post-91760414830579200452009-03-19T20:05:00.000+05:302009-03-19T20:05:00.000+05:30waah...phaarach chhaan! it's almost like you added...waah...phaarach chhaan! it's almost like you added some 'karnaaTaki kashida' to your blog. the meaning won't survive the translation anyway, so let's leave it at that. :PUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16194624607754667734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3452007250221117551.post-36432040625245569722009-03-19T16:00:00.000+05:302009-03-19T16:00:00.000+05:30Sounds like u had fun..Sounds like u had fun..Akumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00016334294585009034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3452007250221117551.post-3675382343897258952009-03-19T13:55:00.000+05:302009-03-19T13:55:00.000+05:30Hi , i am in transit, will be getting back to regu...Hi , i am in transit, will be getting back to regular blogging after a few days.Balvinder Ballihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05040171846198252874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3452007250221117551.post-9211091901496428822009-03-19T11:26:00.000+05:302009-03-19T11:26:00.000+05:30"an interesting and unpredictable package"that's w..."an interesting and unpredictable package"<BR/><BR/>that's what you are ma'am! :D :DZlaekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04732057937615529467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3452007250221117551.post-58593507013914051152009-03-19T10:46:00.000+05:302009-03-19T10:46:00.000+05:30Enjoyed this!

My closest encounter with Lavni were the brief song and dance routines in the black and white Marathi movies shown on a Saturday evening on Doordarshan. My mother told me about the clever and risque lyrics used for both Lavni and Tamasha performances. Needless to say, my grasp of the vernacular will have to improve greatly for me to "get" all the double entendres.<BR/><BR/>I did get "oosala lagal kolha ga" though and laughed quite heartily. It does not translate well at all, because I was completely unable to explain it well enough to my non marathi speaking husband. He just looked blankly at me like I was a mad wolf baying at the moon. Obviously I did not resemble a pile of juicy sugarcane ripe for ravishment by a fox.

As a Maharash...Shobhaa,<BR/><BR/>Loved your report on Lavani. As a Maharashtrian myself, I always loved watching 'real' lavani performance and enjoying the songs. It's a pity at times the self proclaimed 'sanskriti rakshak' don't necessarily appreciate this wonderful folk dance and song form of Maharashtra. Hopefully the state government will do it's best to keep this art form alive. After all if they don't, who will?<BR/><BR/>Did you see an effeminate character 'naachya'? (not sure if this character is part of 'tamasha' or 'lavani' as well) In old marathi movies, veteran actor Ganapat Patil used to be a 'naachya' and he made that character very famous and alive with real emotions. Your post made me think of this great actor.<BR/><BR/>By the way, you should mention if your husband was with you and if you had to translate the lavani song meaning to him. It's impossible to tranlate such things(I am presuming, him being bengali, he doesn't understand marathi - at least the 'lavani' marathi'):)Sameerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12541729573242294872noreply@blogger.com
