Their reaction to the quake was to try and encash on it by organising a tamasha in the city. |
I waded into this once-in-four-year tamasha way back in the late 80s as a trainee sports reporter-cum-sub editor with the Free Press Journal in Bombay. |
We had fine clothes, and feasting, and drum-beating, and fireworks let off in our village. It was a grand tamasha! |
Vithabai with her quick repartee and imaginative extempore dialogues and a vibrating singing voice brought about many changes in the Tamasha performance repertoire. |
Veteran Pakistani actor Javed Sheikh has confirmed that he will be playing a role in Imtiaz Ali's upcoming movie, Tamasha. |
And Indian spectators have converted this very polite, mannered Victorian game into an Indian tamasha. |
