Expressing Essence of Life Unique Dance Performance enthralls
INTRODUCTION
After seeing one video of the performance of Guru Kelucharan Mohapatra in TOKYO, I decided to learn Odissi dance. Next moment I was at the embassy of India, asking where to go. They gave me a brochure of Nrityagram, so I went to Nrityagram. Bangalore. India. It was 1996.
When I reached Nrityagram, Protima Gauri Bedi (GAURIMA) asked me,
WHAT DO YOU WANT?
I said, I want to learn Odissi dance. And she said,
YOU ARE GOING TO BE A PROFESSIONAL ODISSI DANCER, OR ELSE, GO BACK HOME!
I replied, I will try to be a professional Odissi dancer. And GAURIMA asked,
DO YOU WANT TO BE AN ODISSI DANCER, OR YOU WILL BE AN ODISSI DANCER?
I got the message, and I declared, I WILL BE a professional Odissi dancer!
she smiled, and said,
WELCOME TO NRITYAGRAM.
Since then, I have been an Odissi dancer.
