Beneath the Blue Moon
The phrase "once in a blue moon" has long been used to describe something rare.
A Blue Moon is not usually blue at all. It is a rare full moon that appears outside the usual rhythm of the lunar calendar, reminding us that some moments are extraordinary simply because they do not happen often.

Happy Diwali 2024
The Dance of Light & Tradition
Diwali, the Festival of Lights, is more than a celebration—it is a soulful expression that resonates through India’s heart and heritage. As a classical dancer, every move is an invocation, a tribute to the intricate balance of tradition and transformation that Diwali embodies. From the flickering lamps to the vibrant rangolis, Diwali is a time to connect deeply with our roots and our inner light.
