no, that's just fine taste in movies.

i see so one kind of discernment is just fine taste, and another is snobbery. i see it all now.

at least the individuals putting out the product i like have names which don't result in a sprained tongue.

for!
Being a tad too touchy, Il Professore? Not seeing the remark for what it is?

In arts and all, it's sorta non existant. Language or region demarcation is there to some extent, for example marathi theatre, or bong literature, or punjabi or rajasthani folk, or brij movies, etc. It (language/region) plays out again in office promotions or business too. But otherwise, it's free for all, when it comes to arts. Maybe it's coz bombay and delhi rule north now, and it's open for all. Money drives all sorts of collaborations.

so, ya.

central!

Impedimenta wrote:kin kin, all that is fine and dandy but there is a huge problem here. The words you use to describe taste in classical art forms like BN and CM "superior, sophisticated, intellectually higher" are all felt by others who have no interest in it, not by the people who practice it or have vested interest in it. again, perspective!

to me, it is nothing more than a matter of personal interest. that is how i started even getting interested in learning BN. this year, i am going to take my interest in CM to a new level. i am resuming my CM classes along with my daughter and that would inspire me to talk more about artists and raagams. nothing to do with my ego or self esteem. talking for myself, SUCH is the LAST place on earth i would turn to for the sake of stroking my ego.

BW - two words, kazhudai and karpoora vaasanai come to my mind. ok, that's three words. woman, wait till bollywood dance gets classical status.

and you off my fav list of people on SUCH. actually, no because i need one more favor from you:-)

Do we consider an art form classical because it requires great deal of skill acquired through long years of training or because it is performed through certain rules that are laid down and variations aren't encouraged?
Can someone shed light upon this?

I can't think of an evolutionary requirement for kazhudhai to know karpoora vAsanai; anyways, in these things, it takes one to know one, na

yet another stereotype, and one that is over used as well. well, going by your own theory, you have identified not one, but two. what does that make you, sir?
