I was going to write and show more about the wonders of Mahabalipuram, but instead I've been watching Thirty-two Short Films About Glenn Gould. It's almost miraculous to be able to see such a film in Chennai. I do pranam to the Cinema Paradiso DVD library.
This movie reminded me somehow of John Cage's books Silence and A Year From Monday, which are also put together in separate segments. Cage would be a good subject for this kind of film -- he had so many connections with dance and art as well as music, and he was such a good storyteller. And apparently a good friend as well.
And it's actually raining, and the sky is a lovely soft grey, which is another almost-miracle. Pretty good for one afternoon.
