A Women’s Day ...!!!

        When I got  a message that one of our batchmates is visiting Bangalore  and for her we  were planning  a get-together  on weekend , I pretty much agreed  as it’s always a joy meeting old friends. Next day my wife mentioned that she had been requested for a dance performance by her team  towards  DRDO Ganapathy Temples Annual day celebrations. A quick  look at my schedule and I was ok with attending both the events on the same day , same evening , 08 March 24, International Women’s Day, as their timings were comfortable for me to attend. 

    A day before her event I asked wifey how was her preparations for the next day’s performance. She mentioned that she will be just filling in between the dance performance by her colleagues, as Durga Devi. The next day evening after I was done with photography of  the dance programme, I was musing over  on what I had seen on the stage. Vidyas facial expressions during her dance performance  perfectly captured the image of Durga Devi .  Durga Devi the symbol of Power , Courage, and of Feminine  Energy. And just to confirm that  I was not the only one  who was feeling the same ,one of the Senior Scientist from DRDO ,who was in the audience came over to Vidya and was full of praise for her performance. He expressed the same what I felt about her dance performance. And I was not amused.

     Already behind schedule I tried to reach the venue for our batchmates get together as soon as possible. But of no avail as it was also Shivaratri that day and the roads near temples were full of people,  waiting in queue for  having darshan. Somehow managed to reach  the location of our get together by    0930pm,delayed by two hours.

       When batchmates meet the dimension of time somehow cease to exist.  It was fun time  remembering college times ,friends , discussing plans for next get together. Since the guest of the evening had to catch an early morning flight we decide to call it a day, and it was close  to midnight by then.I checked with my batchmates as to how they were going back home .Three of them,all girls, were driving back home,at midnight  and one of them dropped me back at home too.And again I was not amused.
