Do we need such rasikas? In shorts, after walks . .

For some people, the concerts are time-pass events to make good use of.

At Vyalikaval last weekend, two sets of men and women seated in the front rows carried on a healthy chat; much to the annoyance of a woman who was keenly video recording Vinay Sharva's concert.

But the scene at Basaweswara Nagar, on a packed Sunday evening was quite annoying. Scores of people walked in and then out, just curious of the Hindustani concert.

There was another bunch - the fitness zealots - in skin tight clothes, sporty shoes and sweaty Tees who also walked in, listened and looked around and walked off.

Then there was a bunch of men, young and teens who ambled in, in their home shorts and Tees; some hand-holding their grandmas, others here to pick up their moms.

This space is certainly a great neighborhood performing arts space. That certainly does not mean you amble in in shorts and sweat-shirts. Or treat the concerts as social events where gossip is welcome.
