"OUT OF ADVERSITY COMES OPPORTUNITY!"
My Journey
It was the year 1988. I was 7 years old. I suffered from Asthma. My doctor prescribed regular exercise forever to cure it. My mother enrolled me in a Kathak class to ensure the same. That was when my life changed. – Purva
The Influence Of A Teacher extends Beyond The Classroom, well Into the Future!
I believe that when a student is new, the subject does not matter, but the teacher does!
My Guru Maneeshatai Sathe, was a guide, a mentor, a friend and like a mother to me, who made the subject more interesting for me and thus the journey towards my dreams began under the blissful guidance of my revered Guru !
