intensity overflowed

today was a brilliant day....i opened up my mind to a whole new world....revati and i went to nrityagram today. the morning started with some awesome breakfast at 'surya', the softest whitest idli and the crispiest vadas and the most amazing chutney i have had in a while.....

i love driving out of town, even though this was just a 30 km drive away from bangalore it still felt good...

nrityagram is a beautiful place, taj kuteeram is also as beautiful.....i love places that are quiet, i love places built out of earthy material....stones, mud etc...the soil in and around nrityagram is red in colour, like the brightest red ever....all these things were just a build up to the high point of the evening....

we got into nrityagram around 10.30, paid the entry fee and headed straight to where the dancers were practising....from the point we entered till 1.30 i was into it...and i think i realised that the human body can be so damn elegant its amazing....God has created something so beautiful you can just sit watching for hours........Surupa is a very gorgeous woman....i wished i could just sit and watch her forever....every part of her body moves.....EVER PART!!! and it moves with such grace that you know that you are watching someone who was so definetly born to dance......i felt love today.....of a different kind. i saw someone who knew what she was meant to do with her life, i saw a teacher who had the patience to correct her students, i saw a person who cant handle distractions, i saw someone with the most amazingly beautiful eyes (ok second one) they were so expressive...every emotion was so clearly seen in them.....so clear.....

i said something today which was weird....i said that i think i need to be with someone who is into arts.....someone who can feel things at a different level....who can help me go higher than any drug could ever take me....someone who can open up a whole new world for me......

i am ok with the fact that this blog entry just made me cry.......

i just came back to this post to edit it a little....i wish i had spoken to surupa today....i have a feeling that the moment was there and i didnt have the balls to take it....we were walking around the place and we saw her leaving the practise area and heading to her house, i guess....i wish i had run up to her and said something....said, thank you maybe....said, can you help me understand life.....i know now that its unfinished business and i have to go back there and hang with her for a bit......if we had spoken i am sure we would have still be there sitting and listening to her.....i would have been watching her eyes and hands move as she would have taken us through the her lifes journey......damn!!! i wish i had spoken.....
