Anita-ji, thank you for your detailed response. It makes your point of view more clear. I think you need to take this discussion one step further - someone needs to address the corruption and nepotism that's running rampant in the newspaper scene in Chennai. The process of getting a review by the esteemed newspapers is so unseemly and an insult to the arts. It's a sad state of affairs when only money and influence carry the day. How are upcoming dancers without deep pockets and important pals supposed to get any attention from the press? It is the responsibility of senior dancers to speak up and work towards cleaning up this corrupt system.
