Theatre. A message for All India Radio

Only those years that are passed uselessly make you grow old. A year spent uselessly is a year during which no progress has been accomplished, no growth in consciousness has been achieved, no further step has been taken towards perfection. Consecrate your life to the realisation of something higher and broader than yourself and you will never feel the weight of the passing years.

20 February 1958

Theatre, Dancers

In this day a performance was given by dancers from all the four traditional schools of Indian dancing, viz., Bharat Natyam, Kathak, Kathakali and Manipuri. The serpent dance of the exponents of Bharat Natyam held us spellbound while the Kathakali mudras of Gopinath were wonderful.
