Fulbright Journey

"We must dare to think 'unthinkable' thoughts. We must learn to explore all the options and possibilities that confront us in a complex and rapidly changing world."

- William J Fulbright

If not for William J Fulbright's great vision, not many young students like me would have gotten once in a life time opportunity called "The Fulbright Experience". While applying for this scholarship, little did I knew that a fantastic and an enriching adventure was waiting for me ahead. And the journey just began.. In this page, I will be sharing my experiences as a Fulbright Nehru Research Scholar in the United States of America. So much to come.. Keep watching this section....

The Most Courageous Act – To Love Yourself That was my first Zumba session at my newly joined Gym (which includes cardio, endurance, flexibility training, yoga, Zumba and other outdoor activities). I, being a dancer, was very skeptic and prejudiced about the session for two reasons. 1. I am a classical dancer; I have never done anything like this. 2.

The session was good and I was amazed by the smiling and energetic face of the trainer. The way she carries herself while dancing is amazing. All th...

Art as part of life

“The purpose of art as well as nature is to help man. Nature is already perfect, but the function of art is a ritual to help “imperfect” men become identical with this perfect nature. While the perfect nature is always aesthetic, meaning fully alive, man is often inaesthetic, meaning not experiencing directly, really lifeless, enslaved by the thinking and feeling diseases of his psyche... the aim to present man, not man instead of nature, but man identical with perfect nature, that is man at his very best, real, alive and free.” - Erick Hawkins (American Modern Dancer & Choreographer) Had there been no connection between the heart and the art, or for that matter, had there been no term called ‘heart’ at all, there would not have been any entertainment industry, there would not have been any question of aesthetics, there would not have been millions of cases of depression, suicides and there would not have been a LIFE! What is life? Is life merely to exis...

If You Don’t Heal What Hurt You, You’ll Bleed on People Who Didn’t Cut You

"If You Don’t Heal What Hurt You, You’ll Bleed on People Who Didn’t Cut You." -Unknown All the ruckus in the world is a result of not loving ourselves enough and not healing ourselves from what broke us. Anger, greed, jealousy, insecurity, lust, power are the emotions that we spill on others to meet our own shortcomings. This is because most of us run away from our emotions like grief, jealousy, insecurity and the like. We think that by running away, we can get rid of ...
