Listening to Aunty talk about dance is like entering another universe, full of immense creativity, unfathomable knowledge and child-like enthusiasm. With everything she says, one can see her eyes light up ! Every animated gesture conveys her fascination for dance.

I cherish those precious conversations.

Learning from Aunty has been a wholesome experience, since it is not restricted to only the art form, but life in general. She has instilled in me an understanding that I can always learn more, keep exploring and continue to challenge myself, at any stage of my life. Her inner strength is inspiring and so is her ability to stay positive, despite all odds.

Thank you, Aunty, for being my teacher, my guide. I am indeed blessed to have you as my Guru and so proud to be part of the Nritya Geethanjali family.
