Krushna Dancing

I am writing this at 3am sitting in the Business Class Lounge in Mumbai International Airport. It has been a very long day!

After all the activity yesterday at the Ganesh Chaturthi immersions, we had one more major event left. We were going to The Emmys (or at least the Indian Version). Krushna was nominated for an award for best comic actor for his role in Comedy Central. It is a huge TV show in India. The event was held in Film City, not far from Juhu where most of the Bollywood movies and Indian TV are shot. It is a huge complex, in a forest like setting.

Early in the morning we went to the Hare Krishna Temple. It is a huge white marble complex. Clearly they have a lot of money to build and maintain it. There are dormitories and restaurants. It is very organized.

In the afternoon I had a massage and Cathy had her hair done, then it was off to the Emmys (Actually called The Indian Telly). It was monsooning on and off all day, but we eventually made it through all the traffic. Krushna was a featured performer at the event, in a Los Vegas style dance number, with acrobats, flames, fireworks and trapeze artist. He is a great dancer.

Kashmera and Aarti were presenters of awards. When they got to Krushna’s category, he won. We cheered, and clapped.

Soon after we returned to Juhu Marriot to check out at 1:00am and head to the airport to catch our flight to Dubai and back to the states.
