How names that don’t ring a bell hold their own at Serendipity Arts Festival

- IVINDER GILL

IF PLAYBACK SINGER Shaan performed at Serendipity Arts Festival to a full ground, an ensemble of artistes from the Irular tribe of Tamil Nadu led by folk singer S Rani put up a spirited performance at another venue that was no less enjoyable.

Singing of love, longing and life, the energetic band dressed in their ethnic selves put up a foot-tapping show that was pure joie de vivre.

Taking the festival shuttle, one finds an unexpected partner to share the ride with—a young poet who has given up Mumbai’s madness to adopt Goan susegad. Rochelle D Silva reads out a few of her poems during the short trip, but what one leaves with is not just poetic enrichment. It is inspiration for a life that chooses contentment—no big career moves, no huge ambitions, no aggressive strategies, but making peace with yourself. Part of Poems on the Move, curated by artists Thukral and Tagra, the project promotes five such poets.
