Extremely elated to have secured a first class in Alankar Purna exam
I humbly dedicate my success to all those who guided me in my endeavors

It was a big day and an highly anticipated one to say the least
For the past 1 and a half year when each one of us was going through tumultuous and trying times , sometimes battling our worst fears , sometimes surviving all kinds of unforseen hostile circumstances, sometimes hearing heart wrenching stories about losing their loved ones, sometimes struck with the realization of being lucky enough to find ourselves still breathing ; in all the highs and lows that one thing which kept me alive, kept me going was Kathak and my weekly practice sessions.
After a series of postponements, which was quite frustrating, I finally appeared for my Alankar Purna exam on 10th of August 2021
All is well that ends well
( Oops ! Spoken too early I guess.......results are yet to come out )

Rangmanch- some more clicks

Appeared for Alankar Pratham exam on 2nd of January 2020. It was an overwhelming affair both physically as well as mentally.
Encountering the butterflies in my stomach and empowering the jitters , I danced through my Rangmanch ( stage performance) pretty smoothly and most importantly without any major glitches.
Some of the clicks beautifully captured by my friend Kavita.

We did a dance show for an ongoing festival in Ayyapaa temple, Bangur Nagar, Goregaon West.
