 - How many dancers can you sponsor after all, there are so many of them who could do with
sponsorship, just browse the net for 'Bharatanatyam/Odissi dancers' and you will know. And as
far as keeping that confined to TN and Orissa, isn't it unfair to dancers who may be good but
have not settled there ?

- Group dancers degrade a dancer's solo skills, I don't think I would be in a position to comment
on that, but talking from sheer common sense, isn't that the only way right now? How many
people will go to watch ABC dancer vs. Alarmel Valli ?

- ADAPT formats, that is interesting, but could you please explain what you mean by adaptation?

- Support from the middle class, from what I've seen, its not so easy, not many people are ready
to pay, its a different matter if they get it for free.

- Live music is distorted quite a bit of late, but its not so bad. I recently attended a few concerts
with good acoustics. And anyway, some of the recorded tapes do sound very unclear.

- The solo and TV production. Here again, money comes in. Who is going to record and produce
when the only place this can be broadcast is a non prime time slot on DD??? Sadly, Sony is not
going to have a Bharatanatyam recital for Jassi's latest fashion show although viewers may be tired
of Abhijeet Sawant and his 'Mohabbatein...'
