He does temple dancing of some sort and has actually performed in India. I'm not sure if that's the same thing as in Shiva's Fire. I just know it is amazing to watch Kannan dance. I may have to take a look at this book and see if it's the same sort of dancing.Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00551547836073871713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24558530.post-48339419642310763352007-05-17T10:16:00.000-07:002007-05-17T10:16:00.000-07:00Jean--The cultural things weren't that similar, ac...Jean--<BR/><BR/>The cultural things weren't that similar, actually.

You've probably learned a lot about the culture. Were the cultural things in both novels similar? I've never been to India, but I think it would be a very interesting place to visit.Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00551547836073871713noreply@blogger.com
