Hah. My dad just posted this pic on FB — I don’t think I’ve seen it before. The post started “God knows we tried!!” I’m pretty sure he meant that to refer just to dancing…but maybe not. 🙂Â
That’s me with my middle sister, both of us dressed for dancing bharata natyam. I look tall for once! My attempts at classical Indian dance were very short-lived (my god, you should’ve heard me complain about practicing!), so this must have been when I was around 12-13?

We must have been getting reading for a performance; this photo will likely be the most make-up you will ever see on my face. I do love dancing, but no one will ever call me a dancer. Mirna went on to actually be very skilled at it (she’s never been afraid of hard work, but also actually possesses natural grace and rhythm which I am sadly lacking). We tried Kavi in both ballet and bharata natyam, but sadly, she didn’t really take to either. Ah well!
Don’t know which one is you but the one in read looks so much like Kavi!
Maybe Anand would like ballet. I took it for seven years and it was wonderful for my general self discipline and ability to focus. The fact that I was not very good at it helped with this, surprisingly.
