Sruthi Bedham

Attended today a play called Sruthi Bedham, a Tamil Carnatic-music based play.
Overall rating: Average.
The dialogues were good in most places, there were some thought-provoking dialogues, the script was tight, consistent, without any loose ends. The acting was excellent. It looked like a professional drama rather than those done by amateurs. However, guess my expectation was too high. I disliked the overall theme of the play, and its loose similarity to "Sindhu Bhairavi". Another minor point is that the pace could have been a little faster. I was also expecting better Carnatic music performances. Hence my low rating.

Went hiking in Uvas Canyon County Park. Nice waterfalls.
A simple 1 mile hike of the waterfall loop trail. Swami, Sowmya, Srini, Viji. Srini drove.

Reminded of earlier attempt to go to this park when we went till the camping resort & then returned. Thankfully, there were signs this time.
