To dear Sheela Didi for igniting that first spark of love for Bharatanatyam in me and for seeing something in me even in such a short time and for encouraging my parents to pursue possibilities for Dia and I to learn Bharatanatyam



Dear Guruji words cannot adequately express how much you mean to Dia, Ishani and I and how much you have given us. Thank you for your patience and diligence in teaching us, your continued care, encouragement and support, and in believing in us. Pranams in this Guru Purnima and every day 🙏🏼



Dearest Aunty - we miss you everyday. Thank you not only for the teaching but also for encouraging me to not only return to dance but to start teaching and performing again.

Always in my thoughts and in my heart



Dearest Archita Archita Kumar who would have known what a talented beautiful Kathak dancer that little four year old whose house I would come to dinner for when I was just a child myself would become. I am so thankful to be taking my new steps and Kathak journey under your guidance - thank you for believing in me enough to make this mature Bharatanatyam exponent a potential Kathak dancer too 🙏🏼
♥️

Dearest Divya Divya Kasturi let me take this opportunity on the auspicious occasion of Guru Purnima to thank you from my heart for becoming my guide and teacher - for helping me to navigate the complexities of performing as a mature artist and for encouraging and supporting me and for believing in me, even when I struggle to believe in myself at times. I am so grateful for that first discussion and for your enthusiasm for my ideas and your dedication in bringing those ideas to fruition. I am thankful for our growing and evolving
