Ellam Maya

Weeks of preparation eventually resulted in a mere Maya??? Naah! Illusions it was, but I still can remember hordes of colourful girls pinch themselves when they saw Madhavan enter the audi… Was this really Maddy??? And the highlight of the inauguration without doubt was when he lit the lamp returned to his seat and set his hair right… Wooooooooo, waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwww went the girls as Maddy flashed his trademark smile…. It was time for him to speak, every chief guest does it, and so did he.

But Maddy seemed to be aware of the council tag line, BEYOND CONVENTION. He went on to take questions from the audience on life, philosophy and the like… We love you Maddy…

Day One began with some hitches. I do not shy away from declaring that we did have some starting problem… In spite of all the snags, we did manage to pull off the day one events with panache…

Day two was remarkable in its own way… Vijay Yesudhas, Mirch Ajai, Lester and Miral from Shaimak Davar’s Dance Academy, Devan and Sangeeta created a Mayajal…

Damn! This getting so formal! That’s not what I am meant to be doing! Cut the crap Susmita, get to the sense…

Okay, now Abhilasha is over (that’s as obvious) but that’s what I am meant to do, talk crazy stuff… Do I seem confused to you? I am suffering the aftermath of the Maya… Brahmam, Satyam, Jagan Mithya… It’s an existence that is not reality. It is a life which is not ours but a game of which we are sheer pawns who are controlled by a greater force.

Jeez! That got philosophical! That’s what Maya does to me…
