You are seeing the face of Aishwarya Nair! Well, the artist whom I am talking about is not someone who need to go by her name as her art is going to take her places and the name and the brand that it would carry would follow. Smitha and I had been invited to her enthralling performance at RK Puram Iyeppan Koil. Rather I should say that this was an invitation to prayer and to do so while watching the flawless footwork ofAiswarya whose performance was not picture perfect but something that went beyond and touched a chord in the heart. Honest! Why temple and why the shape of a deity? This is because the ordinary mortals have no means of witnessing the celestial dances and perhaps thought getting peace is best done standing in front of the santum santorum. For both of us, the dance itself turned out to be the soul filling experience. Iswarya, we sincerely pray should go a long way and fill the hearts and soul of many more like us. The accompanying artists, Ilangovan on vocal and the violinist and the person on Tabla (I will get their names soon enough) did a great job to make Iswarya dance to her soul of which I am definitely sure about.
