Saturday, November 19, 2005 jasmine! 1:07 AM temples are such peaceful places. but it depends on my mood, so i wasn't there to look at goodlooking guys. -wink- but today, it felt good. i felt blessed. happy. and that i wasn't such an awful person after all. and at every sanctum, i got flowers! amma would probably say that that's a sign, but oh well, i got flowers!! a huge marigold!! how exciting. =) i think i should just visit the temple every week, every friday and be a good, sweet, traditional indian girl (as no one believes that i actually am. so what if you find a bottle of absolut of my shelf. =)) i never did take note of the intricate details of the temple until that darn research paper. the carvings on the walls and pillars and on the doorframe are beautiful and the idols and images are enthralling. it must have involved such hard work to carve and paint everything. i don't think i have ever appreciated that. it's just beautiful. suddenly going to the temple has significance to me. (i know, faith is baseless but i've found a basis for my belief. does that make sense? oh well. whatever makes me happy right?) there is such energy felt in temples. the atmosphere is just charged with vibrations. there is such a holy feeling that surrounds you. this you feel in any place of worship, and i believe that this feeling is created by the worshippers, as well as the atmosphere of the place of worship. its...indescribable in words. and going for dance class after such a fun temple visit makes you feel so damn good. even if class is late, 9 plus, and you're tired, the teacher is tired you feel energized, and that you just want to give your best and absorb as much as you can so that the following class will be just as or even more fruitful as this one. besides, the varnam that i'm learning (just finished!!) is beautiful. i haven't gotten the expression perfected yet, but i'm feeling more of the item. it's not just a varnam. and the fact that it is in tamil makes me relate to it better. and knowing the meaning of the words helps - you know exactly what your trying to convey. it is not just steps, or hand gestures, you're trying to convey the bigger idea of the song to the audience, trying to give the audience your intepretation of the item. trying to make the audience feel the item as much as you. i hope i can do that on the 29th. dancing rocks. even though my knees may just give way on me soon. touch wood. i'd love to go for class everyday if possible. i can't wait to dance on the 29th. i want to give it my best, feel that i have improved. the items this time are how fun! as well. you just enjoy the song and smile and be natural. no being plastic. anything that is non-syllabus is fun i guess because you haven't over done the item till it becomes mechanical to you. and you know that you're not performing it with an agenda behind it - that you have to do it for an exam. talking about exams, matching underwear makes no difference. although the pink lace may have distracted the fella behind me. hahaha. -wink- do you think no underwear could work? hahaa. bleagh. paper not too good. hope i get a decent grade. 0 comments |
