Chennai Sangamam 2010

Singer Sowmya delighted everyone with Bharathiyar songs. Murasu, a dance troupe from Nagercoil, excelled in their folk dance. Don't miss the Srivilliputhur palkova(unique taste), Kovilpatti kadalaimittai, and Madurai halwa in the outlets.
There was a second choreographer for all the dance shows - the photographer who directed the dancers to get great snaps!!! I missed the grandma stories that had started as early as 4:15 p.m.

Chennai Sangamam - Jan '09

I visited the Chennai Sangamam stall(near Valluvar Kottam, Nungambakkam) on two days. The first day i went, i was impressed by the folk dance, painstaking makeup, grand dresses, decent and attentive crowd, and stunning performances. Had a non-vegetarian dish of parotta, chicken, payasam for Rs 80 too.

The second day(Kaanum Pongal)there was a non-show. So, just went walking around the park, watched people at play, and chatted with a christian lady who had worked as a counsellor.





And the oily-haired (i mean, my head) me...
