This was the previous topic discussed here. Click here to view the prize winning entry.
This is a new section on this website. In the recent past, artistes and rasikas have been mailing us their viewpoints and comments on various topics. And we thought we could provide a forum where you can post your views. And to make it more interesting, we even have prizes for the best entries!

All you have to do is this: Take a look at the new topic that will be posted every three weeks. Join the discussion by mailing us your comment / viewpoint (your entry must be within 100 words and we should have your name and address! - or else how can we mail your prize if you get one?!! ).

All entries will be posted here and the prize winning entry will be awarded a music album!
And we'd like to add that winners will be selected on the basis of how well they present their viewpoint and not for their viewpoint itself . This is to emphasise that the winning entry is not a conclusion for the discussion.

So, get going and put on your thinking caps... we welcome you to be an active participant here...and win album!!

TOPIC FOR DISCUSSION

How exciting is Chennai's December season?
The annual December season of classical music and dance in Chennai (India), enters yet another edition soon. It is a time when the best artistes perform at various venues. More than 400 concerts are held over a period of seven weeks.

Some people say the festival is so unique that it needs to be promoted well in India and abroad. That it needs to feature the best and the talented.

Others say the festival is getting to be a crazy event that breeds rivalry, sub-standard work and surviving with small audiences. That there is too much happening with little substance.

What is your observation of Chennai's December season? Argue your point in 8 lines. Give reason for your stand. Post specific examples that better your argument. If you have been participating in the 'season' or observing it as a rasika, share your experiences and anecdotes.

Your viewpoint will be posted in the Discussion Room. Best entry will win prizes.
