  5. Hello "The Gardener," this is Minai of Minai's Cinema Nritya Gharana, a blog you have commented on a few times. I recently found a clip of Odissi dance in a 1949 Oriya film and have been excitedly working on a post about Odissi dance in Oriyan cinema. I am desperately trying to locate the full film and some other information I found. I couldn't find your email address on this blog, so I thought I would leave a comment and ask: would you please email me at kasuvandi *at* gmail *dot* com? Since you are the only online contact I have met from Orissa, I'm eager to ask you some questions! Thanks so much for your time. :) ~Minai
