Everyone has a fascination for music.
I categorise music in 2 types. The Foreground & The Background.

Dance & Rock n Roll. Foot tapping and Head Banging on Music – The Foreground Type.

The subtle music playing your car, in your room, in your phone – The Background Type.

There was a time when I was The ‘Foreground’ Fan. And then the priorities changes. I love being in the Background category now.
I love to have goosebumps when I hear particular scores of music.

I believe, being happy & content is complimented by Music.

The name Kathak is derived from the Sanskrit word katha meaning story, and ‘katthaka’ in Sanskrit means s/he who tells a story, or to do with stories.

Kathak is one of the classical dance forms of India (originally from North India). It is a narrative dance form characterized by fast footwork (tatkar), spins (chakkar) and innovative use of expression (bhav) in the performance (abhinaya).

The picture shows a Kathak performance in progress – Performed by Gitanjali Lal and troupe at the Purana Qila, New Delhi, India on 15th Oct 2007 during the ‘Ananya’ dance festival.
