Bharathanatyam lessons – very conflicting for me. I hated them and considered the whole thing some innate, culture-inculcating duty on my parents’ part rather than emanating any respect for the art form on their part. It all seemed so perfunctory. You know, “all good girls from Indian families learn BN.” Not to fret, ballet, piano lessons, swimming, etc. were thrown into the Well Rounded Mix. If anything, these childhood activities have given me an appreciation for western and eastern classical music, so I guess Mom and Dad are off the hook.

The interesting thing is that a cousin started BN lessons around the same time I did, hated it at first and is now a very accomplished BN dancer and teacher herself. Sometimes it sticks, sometimes it don’t.

Now you’re just being mean. HAH! Three in hand!!!!!!

I propose we move any further commentary to the Pointing thread..

So I assume it’s not you holding up the huge “R P Singh I heart you” sign and hooting into the camera?
