My bed is my workstation; is my video chat centre; is my snacking bar; is my gaming console; is my bed again. Phew!  If the Lockdown 1.0 could teach me carefulness and social distancing then Lockdown 2.0 got me nervous about my job security and anxious about my social media upstaging nuances. And then came Lockdown 3.0 and that taught me adaptability. The funny thing is the entire adaptability tool was always right around me, in front of me, in fact, right under me. It was my BED.  The funniest and most pragmatic take on Corona Virus has been through my bed. The moment pandemic scare gripped the world, it was lockdown time that was announced right after a Janta Curfew on March 23, 2020.

Allah tero naam. Ishwar tero naam at Jodhpur RIFF changed my perspective.... Indian Carnatic music maestro TM Krishna collaborates with transwomen singers at the Jodhpur RIFF 2017 This was my very first visit to Jodhpur and I coincided it with an attempt to catch the Rajasthan International Folk Festival (RIFF) whose chief patron is Marwar's royalty Gaj Singh II. One of the renditions by Carnatic music maestro TM Krishna (TMK - as he is lovingly called) changed my life's perspective so much so that this feeling is here to stay and share. TMK sang a very popular song called 'Allah Tero Naam. Ishwar Tero Naam...' with a 'specific reason' as he perched effortlessly at the break of dawn at  Jaswant Thada near Mehrangarh Fort. With him were the absolute delights of the season — The  Jogappa singers. These transwomen musicians were clad in simple sarees, played traditional instruments and sang at an unusually shrill high pitch.  Music legend TM Kri...
