Kalasagaram's classical competitions, a DJ festival, a classical guitar concert and a benefit for Kashmir are the primary notes on this week's music diary.
After Calantha, it's Lakhotia's Love India. Plus, a lot of theatre taking the city by storm, a yoga workshop by someone named Mark Flint (go figure), digital paintings (ditto), a Telugu book release and more.
Virasat hops across town, and there's perhaps a staging close to you. The week is big for many more reasons, though - Sutradhar and Samahaara plays, a Romeo & Juliet rendition and the children's theatre festival being just some of the shimmer.
After discovering Indian DJs, Playboy Club now discovers our very own ladies nights. Kismet, of course, knows the territory. And Hard Rock Cafe is happy to let you be the blurb. Plus, retro, Bollywood, and more.
The Wushu championship blitzes to a glorious finale, theatre continues its pride parade, high-brow seminars engage the intellectuals, and a Bathukamma exhibition furthers the new State's cultural determination. And that's just the dust getting kicked up.
Plenty of Karaoke nights give you a chance to, um, turn down the limelight yet again? Don't let that be true. Tonite, have fun by getting in the middle, and by humbling us.
From experiments on the ever-pliant dosa to Sindhi, Galouti, Bangla and wrap specials, items celebrating the imagination of the best chefs in town spice up the food circuit this week.
Sreenidhi's fest, athletics championships, Virasat 2014's yakshaganas, an intellectual lecture, a range of shopping exhibitions and mucho exotic food make it a totally tantalizing Tuesday today - let not mediocre alliterations persuade you otherwise.
Yakshaganas by a Ghanapati group bring our heritage into our consciousness, and a developers' conference, our pride for where we've gotten since then. And those comprise just the tip of today.
Ayazuddin Patel, Hetal Chudasama, Agacharya & Bhaskar Rao are to art what the present is to the future. And their works will make you think even more than that sentence did.
Plenty of clothing and furnishing exhibitions are lending a carnival feel to the city in the run-up to India's biggest festival, with displays ranging from ethnic and Ikat to ...whatever the other extreme is. Our picks for the best of 'em all.
It's a mostly desi affair at the clubs tonite, and that also means all the familiar DJs. And if neither of those two propositions excited you, there's enough that will.
Walks, runs and even triathlons (look it up) make it a day for the athletic. Just kidding - there's enough and more of stuff that makes all that just an unfortunate aberration, and we're plumping for Octoberfest and Calantha.
Movida has a clash of philosophies, Rain has lofty names, Playboy has a firang DJ, and Kismet has a woman. And you, have even more choice than that. It's Saturday night, remember?
