Bangalore Musical Orchestras Programs - Lessons Picked up

Madurai district villages are very well famous for stage program from SANGAM Age. It is common in current era also. Every village festival has at least one night, Valli Marriage Drama ( Valli Thirumanam ) or Musical Program. Obviously every born in the district have habit of watching this stage program. In the Musical program and drama, they singers and actors usually play latest hit songs, Famous Actors, Devotional songs and community leader songs (not in all villages). So usually very less chance to miss any “LIVE” programs. It includes from Karakattam to Fashion shows all kind of live programs. Language of program have been in local language.

In Bangalore, during local area festival, Habba and kannada rajyotsava times ,local area people arrange the Musical Orchestras. Anybody have the habit of watching these program obviously leg walk towards function area whenever happens. So lot of chance to see these programs in Bangalore also

Few highlights about Stage Programs in Bangalore:

  • Most of Musical programs, they play in songs from Kannada, Telugu, Tamil and Hindi
  • Plays latest hit songs in each language
  • Program anchor, minimum he/she speaks in upper single digit languages
  • Speaks state integration about in each language
  • Play song about famous old actor songs and with their body language
  • National integration songs (it is there in Madurai dist too, plays in Tamil )

Those points I did not come across when I was in Madurai district.

Bangalore Local area musical program teaches me a lesson “Language is diversity, But Nation is university” and “Cosmopolitan life living in Bangalore”

Women’s day 10K Run, Bangalore (4 Mar 2012)

Wish a very Happy International Women’s day wishes for all women runners …

Long Distance running becomes your hobby; No one can stop you from running. I got one more reason here for group running. This time reason was “Women’s day run”. Women’s day run happened in Bangalore last Sunday.

Once you cross your level of running more than half marathon for running 10K would be just like that practice session.

I just started practice session one week before. However I was like to break my previous 10k best timings (55 mins in Chennai IIT run Nov 2011).

Prior to race day, they distributed BIB numbers in sree kanteerava stadium. I saw some regularly running in BIB collection point. I met my friend Asad too.

Race day:

Run was started around 6:30 am as planned. I saw different running group people.

I can say this way. People wore different T-shirts (Runners for life, Chennai runners, Chennai IIT Half Marathon, Life is calling , Bangalore ultra and so much…………). It was easy to indentify, how long they are doing running practice.

Event was colorful. I have seen lot female runners for 10k group.

Run route was Kanteerava Stadium -> Cubbon park ( 2 loops ) -> Kanteerava Stadium


I completed the run in 57 mins . I was so sad, I was not able break my previous best timings. Still I did not know reason. Why I was not able to complete less than 55 mins.
My friend Vinoth and My village friend Thenarasu both waited for me. They clicked so nice photo in the end point.

I met few running friends and Asad also.

I might be missed timings in this time. Definitely another blog , I will write after breaking 55 mins.I believe it is possible. Only time has to answer for this statement..

Thanks for all friends, runners and family members.
