After Mumbai, flash mob comes to Chennai

CHENNAI: Time 4pm. Sunday . The Express Avenue mall in Royapettah was buzzing with shoppers. Some were moving from window to window for that elusive choice, some were digging into food and others were getting in and out of garments. Ten minutes past four , the song 'Boom , Boom Robo Da , Robo Da' boomed out of nowhere and nearly 70 persons swarm together at a point and broke into a seemingly impromptu but well-rehearsed jig . It was Chennai's first flash mob .

The event was organized to promote the ninth Chennai International Film Festival (CIFF) to be held between December 14 and 22. Actor Shylaja Chetlur , a CIFF committee member , said the idea was born after a recent show by a flash mob at Mumbai CST railway station, which took the internet by storm .

Actor Suhasini , the brain behind the Chennai flash mob , told TOI it was dedicated to actor Rajinikanth whose birthday falls on December 12. "This is our gift for him ."


Head to the mall for Margazhi raagas

Amonth-long classical music and dance festival, 'Raaga and Expressions' began at Express Avenue Mall on Sunday. The festival organised by cultural organisation 'Sree Anandabhairavi' is in its fifth year and is being organised in a mall for the first time. Raaga and Expressions will feature vocal and instrumental performances along with jugalbandi and dance programmes. Organisers say they chose to have the performances in a mall as an effort to popularise the classical arts among Chennaiites.
