DombaraaTa - A way to fill their stomach

Posted by Veena Shivanna (Bengalooru, India) on 7 January 2007 in Cityscape & Urban and Portfolio.

This is a fun show which some set of people in India choose to fill their stomach. small kids walk on the rope tied across with a balance in hand, people pay some pennies for the courage they display.
It reminds me a movie 'Ananda Bhairavi' where the guru teaches 'bharatanatyam' to such small girl & there is a nice song in the movie, which goes like 'ಎಲ್ಲಾರು ಮಾಡುವುದು ಹೊಟ್ಟೆಗಾಗಿ, ಗೇಣು ಬಟ್ಟೆಗಾಗಿ'
