Performancewitheaseandassurance

Supraja Prasad, is a disci-ple of Prof M R Krishna-murthy of Kalakshithi

School and has completed herRanga Pravesha and has alsoperformed at a few avenues.

She is a graduate in engi-neering and has completed“Vidwath”in dance. Suprajausually performs with her sis-ter Bhoomija. She performedsolo, as a tribute to her Guru,at the Bharatiya Vidya Bhavanlast week.

The necessary discipline oftechnique to take up the air inall seriousness was evidentfrom the invocatory item Alar-ipu (set to Sankeerna jathi) it-self. The keerthana of Dr MBalamuralikrishna which wastuned in the raga Vishwambariwas on Lord Nataraja. Thedevotee prays, “Bho ShambhoShankara! Please bless me andprotect me always.”

The Anandabhairavi varna“Sakhiye”of Tanjore quartetwas the mainstay of therecital. Unfolding a firm foot-ing in the basics, she per-formed with a relaxed atti-tude. The profundity expectedin the varna (Virahoth Khan-ditha Nayaki) was not fully ex-hibited but it was pleasing.

Both the Pada (Urake - De-vagandhari) and Asta padi(Yahi Madhava, Aarabhi) pro-vided her ample opportunityto prove her Abhinaya skill.The concluding thillana(Natabhairavi, Veena Krishna-

macharya) had several dancepostures with evocative footwork. She tried to depict “Vat-salya Bhava”in the Kannadadevaranama “Krishna Nee Be-gane Baro”dramatising theplayfulness and prank of Bal-akrishna. Supraja has a goodstage presence and performswith ease. But she has to grad-uate in the effective use of herfacial expression.

Another feature of thisdance recital was the emer-gence of Gagana as a Nattuva-nar. While Srivathsa’s vocalwas complimentary to thedance, Gurumurthy on mri-danga, Pradeeshachar on vio-lin, supported well.

Proofofgoodtraining

The Sharada Sam-skruthika Sangha,Basaveshwaranagara,

had organised three musicconcerts in connection withthe Ganesha Utsava.

Divya Padmanabhan whogave a vocal recital here, isnow a disciple of R N Tyagara-

jan of “Rudrapattana Broth-ers”fame. She is an MTechgraduate from IIT, Chennai,and pursuing PhD at the Indi-an Institute of Science, Ben-galuru. In one of the composi-tions (RamanathamBhajeham) Muthuswamy Dik-shitar says -“I offer my obeisance to LordRamanatha who was wor-shipped by Lord Ramachan-dra. He confers the desiredboons on his devotees. He hasthe glory of possessing “KotiTirtha.”Tanks of holy watersin His temple precinct.... Heresides in the hill Gand-hamaadana, situated at thecentre of “Setu.”

This Keerthana was chosenby Divya Padmanabhan as themain item of her concert. As aprelude, she sang raga Ka-mavardhini and elaboratedwith nerval (Kumara Gu-ruguha) and swaraprasthara.Though alapana was brief, theswaraprasthara was draggedlittle. Earlier, she also sang an-other fine composition of Dik-shitar “Sri Balasubramanya,”which was also delineatedwith raga (Bilahari), nerval(Kanakavalli Deva) and swara,highlighting the musicalstature. “Kanaka Shaila Vi-harini” - is a favourite of con-noisseurs and “Idi NyayamaSri Ramchandra”was a quick-ie. As a prelude to the de-varanama “Narayana NinnaNamada,”she also sang a slo-ka (Kasturi Tilakam) neatly.

Divya is deeply interested inmusic and her “Paattanthara”is also good. With some morehigher training and stage ex-perience, she can climb theladder of success. She was ac-companied by Shankararajanand G S Nagaraj on violin andmridanga, respectively.- Mysore V Subramanya

BENGALURU: An ongoingstudy by a team of re-searchers from the IndianInstitute of Science (IISc) hasindicated that Bengaluruwill soon face a huge watercrisis. The study that is like-ly to be out soon says that ifno immediate steps are tak-en, the city will go dry.

Prof T V Ramachandrafrom the Centre of Energy andWetlands Research Group atthe IISc said that despite floodsin July 2016, the city is set toexperience water crisis be-cause of improper planningand ineffective implementa-tion of the existing policies.

The Cauvery water disputewith the neighbouring TamilNadu will also have a bearingon the city’s water needs be-causeofincreasingdependence

on piped water. This apart, thestudy points out that wastagedue to leakages and indiscrim-inate use by people is alsoaddingtothegrowingproblem.

Prof Ramachandra saidthat Bengaluru annually re-ceives 750- 800 mm rainfallwhile the city lakes can holdonly 35 tmcft. “At least 98%water bodies in the city are en-

croached upon,’’ he said. Ofthe 35 tmcft water stored inthe city lakes, 90% is sewage-fed water, the study points.

The Bangalore Water Sup-ply and Sewerage Board(BWSSB) supplies 1400 mldeveryday from Cauvery river.There are 9.15 lakh connec-tions in the city. Their estimateshows that 1.4 lakh consumers

should instal rain water har-vesting systems, but only62,000 have it. BWSSB is yetto reach out to 110 villages inthe CMC and TMC areas.

The study also pointed outthat Bengaluru generates 15tmcftsewagewaterdaily.Ofthewater used by Bengalureans,70%iswastedandjoinssewagelines and the rest is lost by vari-ous means like evaporation,leakageandothers,theongoingstudy by the team revealed.

The study also touches uponthe water quality of most of

lakes, revealing that they arehighly polluted. Over 79% ofcity lakes fall under Class E cat-egory (for irrigation, industrialcooling, controlled waste dis-posal) and 29% lakes fall underClass D and E (can be used forwildlife and fisheries). The re-search team also showed thatthere has been an 88% loss ingreen cover in the city, a 79%loss in water bodies, a 925% in-crease in concrete land from1970 to 2006 and over 75% ofcity land has paved surfaces.

“Unless water is used judi-ciously, rain water harvestingstrictly implemented, inter-connectivityof lakesanddrainsrestored, there will be severewater crisis, especially in thebackdrop of less rainfall in theCauvery basin. There is also aneed to treat and recyclesewage water,” Prof Ra-machandra explained.DH News Service

The untitled poem, writtenon her way to Bengaluru fromGuwahati, was a comment onthe consumerist lives we leadincitiesandtheendlessroutinethat we follow day after day. “Ithink this poem is a result ofmy frustrated thoughts aboutstruggling with the pace.”Koechlin explained.

The poem traces her day asshe wakes up to the prayerfrom a mosque which is thendrowned out by the sounds offisherwomen calling out‘machli, machli’. Her descrip-tion of waking up on a Mondaymorning and heading out into

the traffic was somethingeveryone could relate to.

where news is made out of triv-ial things like lipstick. Her well-known piece ‘The Printing Ma-chine’ is on the same theme, ofsensationalism in the media.
