Boohoo..Iam elated

After a very long time, went to music academy. For my first experience - http://oreponnu.blogspot.com/2009/01/sweet-memories-i.html. This one was my second to the academy.The occasion itself was very special cos P’s dance school had organized for a show , showcasing the students performance as a group. Wowww…..We had a memorable evening. It’s a long time since we watched a show (pls don’t count the annual day functions in the school, they are different in the sense they highlight few students)

This program had performances of all the age groups – say from 3 to 40 . Yes, iam serious even non-professionals , I mean assorted group comprising of working professionals and house-wives too gave the performance.

First of all it was chaos all along till the beginning of the show. Chaos, because, P alone didn’t get his costume among the group of 15 children. Enn appadinna, the costume was a one piece with a long zip al a superman costume with red cape, and a golden belt.
P kku just chest varaikkum thaan original costume vanthathu, after that it didn’t go up at all, apparam thane kaiya ulla nolaikkarthu….. So, gave it back to them and asked them to re-stitch. And the staff there was confident that the costume would be set right by the tailor, “ madam costume eh porala apparam engernthu maaa atha adjust panna mudiyumaa “ nna, she said, “madam avar ottu thuni pottu atha seri panniduvarr” nnu sonna. Naaan aadi poitten. Hello, u have collected Rs.700 for the costume and that too 3 months back , so please enakku ottu thuni ellam vendam, I want it fresh nnu solli, pls take the measurement againnu oru 2days follow pannathula, costume atlast came on the morning of the show.
Ithula enna kodumainna, porala porala nnu solrennu, oru tent sizekku thachi kuduthutaaangaa. Its, okay, atleast we can adjust, nnu nenachu, we all started from home.

Now, the next stop was the “Green trends” parlour. They had instructed for gelled hair with spikes and make-up with gold glitter. Now, the make-up started.
First, he made him to sit in a chair.
“Uncle enna panna poreenga, oosi poda maatteeengale” ( Antha tonsils operation la irunthu he is little scared)

Next, he sprayed some water (from a sprayer called H2O) on the face.
“Uncle, naan kaarthaleye kulichitteen , moonjum alambinten, en enmela thanni kotreenga.” Amma, aanaalum rumba jolly ya irukku,

Now, he applied some foundation by applying in the form of dots all over the face.
“ Amma, nee ippadi thane veetla pottuppaa”
(Actually it was in the gents section and there came a wave of laughter at this question, maaname pochu)

Ippo he applied some lip gloss and the gold glitter.
“ Amma nee ithellam vechirukkiyaaa, unkitta aana ithu illaiye”

Oru vazhiyaaa, ella maanamum Green trends laye vittachaannu orutharam check panniitu velila vanthaaa, bill was around Rs.1000.
Have a nice day madam nu wish vera ithulaaa .

Amidst all the confusion regarding the traffic change due to the opening of the secretariat and the arrival of Singh sir and Sonia Madam (nalla naaal choose pannanga paa, they say Dravidian party nnu but they didn’t want to choose panguni and so they chose this day nnu nenaikkaren)

Oru vazhiyaaa, they took him and all the children inside before-hand for the rehearsal, and said “ we would take care, plz don’t worry”.

As usual, aathukarar ah anaathaiyaa thambi kooda vittuttu went for arattai kacheri with fellow mommies. Vera enna, all national importance issues like which movie we did watch, and how we would be watching the movies, (esp in drive-in theatres ) ithula padam paarkavaa theatre poneengannu oru nakkalaana kelvi vera . Namba mattum salachavangala , ithellam explicit ah solluvaangalaaannu samalichittom illa.

Now, the major part – Performance – Awesome it was. Really watching all those kutti kutties dancing especially was beautiful. And not to leave behind the choreographers and the organizers. That too choreographing for the kids and making them dance for the beats – really a tough task – it was brilliant , I should say. Kudos to them. And the dance company was “ The Swingers”. It was really breath taking.
Also, the performances by the level two children and the adults – non-professionals and the professionals were superb. The choice of the songs and the concept they had taken for various sequences were just wonderful.
Grooming kids performances covered songs like superman, fantasy , in the sea etc
There was a performance depicting a night in the museum and it was spectacular. Movements and the foot taping numbers really made the audience to scream for more.

On to P, he literally enjoyed dancing. Never once he willingly came to the class, cos he felt he would miss all monster kid and chotta bheem. So, didn’t go with much expectation. But, to my utter shock, he danced with utmost energy and that too smiling and laughing all the way .I thought he would be nervous and would just vomit and go everything on stage. He proved all my thoughts wrong….What made my day was he enjoyed the whole performance and was not at all conscious of dancing in the stage with so many people watching. And never once did miss us , I mean with strangers all along for about 4 hrs.

Not only Ps performance, but the whole show was fantastic. And i would really like to congratulate the whole team for the stupendous show.
