What a journey it has been.. Full of ups and downs, turns, crossroads, broken hearts and happy moments.
I treasure all that has happened to me throughout this experience and thank god for giving me this great opportunity to follow my dreams and continue spreading my passion and love for Indian Classical Dance.
Now, when I see Cosmic Dance grow a little, I am happy that my dream is alive and thankful to all the people that kept it afloat and helped it getting stronger.
Cosmic Dance concept was a wild dream, quiet secret and a hope to connect people from different backgrounds, from different countries and cultures and to keep creating something beautiful, something that makes sense to the people involved, something that keeps our small community together, makes our lives different…
Indian Classical Dance is just a medium to make this dream come true, to get people together, but what a powerful medium it is!
There is a long way to go and I wish it to continue for many years more.
I am still dreaming that Cosmic Dance can make a difference, even if it is tiniest, smallest impact on bringing people together and making them happier!

Call of the soul
It is a desire, it is a prayer, to find one’s unique place in the universe. What is the hidden gift you must bring forth to the world? Can you find your happiness?
Can you hear your soul speak?
‘Call Of The Soul’ was long planned, much anticipated and scary project for me. For some reason or other I kept postponing BharataNatyam solo performance for couple of years already, finding excuses like “too busy”, “need to concentrate on group choreography for my students” , “have to plan shows for my students”, teaching… Anything really! I guess, I was just scared of myself being alone with my own dance and practice and this time I wanted it to be perfect..
Every time after performance, small or big, no metter how long or short, easy or difficult it was, I feel really empty and look back at all my mistakes and little details that could be better..coursing myself for not practicing more, not planning better.
Well, was Call Of The Soul perfect? Not yet..
But I have learned a lot: You can not get better unless you try and keep trying, make mistakes, overcome your fear, follow your instincts, take risks and you can dream big!
This project really gave me a boost and desire to do more and more, to give my dance more time, to give myself a chance to learn and get better.
Cosmic Dance will be performing as a part of the Audience Building program organized by LCSD at the Main Foyer of Hong Kong Cultural Center.
Date: 8.10.2011

Cosmic Dance performing for unveiling of Amitabh Bachchan’ wax figure at Madame Tussauds in Hong Kong.
It was a lot of fun and great pleasure to perform for the unveiling of Amitabh Bachan’s wax figure at Madame Tussauds. He is the first among Indian Actors to be exhibited at the Tussauds museum in Hong Kong and hopefully will start and new trend.
And I never imagined him being so tall!
Moses Chan (an award-winning actor from Hong Kong ) was the star guest of the event and seamed like a very nice person – not afraid to try Indian Dance moves 😉 which was cheered by the crowd of his fans.
