Incident to Remember for life-long !!!

Today, I would like to tell about a shocking incident which took place with me on one of the busiest road in the city. Senapati Bapat road, near Pyramids. As me and my mom were at the signal we suddenly realized that our car had broken down. After trying for about 2-3 mins it didn’t restart and I got down of my car to wave the traffic behind to pass by from the other side. Till then I could only see people either starring at us from a distance or yelling as they passed by us. One person even said “Don’t know why these women’s drive when they cant take the crises” as he passed by me. Those weird expressions and sentences made me understand that no one was gonna help us. As I started pushing the car to the other end, two hands of an unexpected unknown Uncle of my dad’s age started pushing the car with me when two glittering eyes of 20-30 youngsters just watched us. He not only helped us to take it to the other side of the road but also till our society as we lived near by. He had come after parking his own car to the other end. I do feel there are some good people like that uncle in this world but very few. All happened at around 8pm when our city roads are packed with it’s over increasing population with no mankind.
This is the day when I saw the bar of falling mankind when one out 100 people around came to help us. I don’t know his name but uncle if you are reading this article I really like to convey my regards and hearted THANKS to you. He is proved to be a true hero in my life, a TRUE human being.

Confusion !


Recently I read the book Bharata Natyam by Sunil Kothari.
This is a book which tells us abt the various aspects of Bharatanatyam. Right from its Origin as in ancient times, spiritual background, technicalities and also the well-known dances all over the world. The good thing about this book is that it provides everything in detail with pictures and notations as well. From my side its a great research work. It was first published in 1979 and later repriented with revised edition in 1982. Obviously as I read the reprinted edition, I Suppose they must have made remarkable changes and must have truly done a good job and thus it was reprinted. But here one think is craving my mind from long time though I have read the book long time back. The word "BHARATANATYAM" written as Bharata Natyam ...with space between the two words. I really didnt get the idea behind dividing the word into Two? Is it a Mistake or is the writter trying to convey anythng from it? Or then its truly seems to be a silly mistake which have not been changed even after revision.
I hope if the third revised book atleast comes up with BHARATANATYAM !!!
