ANTARYATRA — a journey that will stay with me forever. 🤍
I may not yet be the performer I aspire to become.
I know I have miles to walk, learn, unlearn and discover.
But today, I am grateful — deeply and wholeheartedly grateful.
Above all, I bow my head to Lord Krishna. 🙏🏻 From the very first thought of Antaryatra until I stepped off that stage, I felt Him beside me — guiding me, protecting me and giving me strength whenever I doubted myself.
My deepest gratitude goes to my Guru, my guide, Vijay Anna. Vijay Kumar.S ( Karna ) You stood with me through every line, movement, correction and emotion, made me explore the sahitya deeper, understand its nuances, and, above all, discover the philosophy behind each piece. I know I am not there yet, Anna, and I still have so much to learn, but Antaryatra has been a very important step towards the path you have shown me. Humbly grateful for your patience, corrections, belief and guidance. 🙏🏻❤️
To my entire team — thank you for trusting my vision, for agreeing to walk this journey with me, and for giving me your time, talent, patience and heart. You allowed me to create Antaryatra the way I envisioned it, and I am deeply grateful for every one of you. ❤️
To those who helped bring this dream to life Indianembassysweden Sweden, Sheral Kustanso and Nubestack — thank you for your support, encouragement and belief in this journey. Your support made this possible. ❤️
To the eyes behind these beautiful memories, Lenspeaks 📸 — thank you for capturing this journey so beautifully and giving me moments I can hold on to forever.
And finally, my family — my quiet strength behind it all. ❤️ To my little ones, who patiently cooperated through countless classes, rehearsals and late practices, thank you for understanding, waiting and giving Amma the space to chase this dream.
So much went into those few hours on stage — dreams, doubts, learning, unlearning, love, guidance and countless unseen moments.
Today, I don’t want to measure how far I have come.
I just want to be grateful that I began walking.
Antaryatra may have ended on that stage…
but my journey has only just begun. 🪷✨
