 Hello,

I just wanted to put in a word of appreciation for Mr. Lada Singh for his recent article.I preferred discussion board to a personal email because I wanted to highlight the fact that at a time when we bemoan the loss of authenticity and sensitivity among our dance forms and its critical appeciation, we have writers like Lada Singh who are doing a remarkable job with their bold, honest and interesting write ups.

I was also present at Astad Deboo's recital and have been watching the general articles on Narthaki.I congratulate Ms. Anita Ratnam and Ms. Lalitha Venkat for having a monitoring policy for the website in place now.

It is great to see Narthaki as a platform for writers like Lada Singh and others who are needed all the more now given the rising level of mediocrity in among dancers and writers. Keep it up Narthaki.
