Kathakali is a dance form that acts out a story IIRC, whereas Bharatnatyam is dance of India.

There is a difference between kathakali and kathak.

Kathak is an Indian Classical dance form North India http://www.kathak.org/site/kathak/section.php?id=4176.
Kathakali is a classical darnce form of Kerela http://www.cyberkerala.com/kathakali/
Bharatnatyam is classical dance form from TamilNadu.
Kuchipudi - classical dance form of Andhrapradesh

And BTW Tarique knows the difference between dance forms. - at times to bug me he acts duh!

Very well taken picture. And this is a BIG compliment as it comes from some one who is not a fan of nude pictures.

I think it is because of the way most people look at those pictures. While I believe that female body is one of the most beautiful creation of mother nature, I do not see people around me appreciating it in a right style. I have seen people (notice, I am not saying only men) pass crude comments over the nude sculptures by Michelangelo. I mean, for a sexually repressed society that we are, I can imagine that we cannot help but notice nudity. However, while I tried to admire the intricate work that the artist had rendered to the veins, the skin texture, and the facial expressions, people just looked at and commented on the private parts. I was disgusted. Plus, most nude models are looked down upon in the middle class society. I think that is very unfair. Someone who is confident enough to pose for a classy picture should get as much respect (if not more) as the lanky woman walking down the ramp in skimpy clothes. I am blabbering, right? In a nutshell, it is because I feel most of us cannot look at nude images in a dignified manner. That ( ... )

Thanks! While I can understand what you are saying about other people's perceptions - I was wondering about your aversion... If I were to extend your line of thinking based on the above two comments (and I am being presumptive here) then it would mean that you want every woman should be in a purdah!!

I know it is tough being a woman in the current society scenario BUT are you not just re-inforcing the same point of view as the rest?

At the risk of sounding didactic condescending, I can assure you that there are enough men and women who think differently to ultimately make a difference

Swati just looked over the shoulder and declared that I am blabbering and that I should come for dinner - I better stop :)
