Bonjour Ami(e),

Here comes the 2nd day and I tried something new. Though everything I write is boring shit, I feel happy that you guys are encouraging me and conveying it through your likes.😊

When I was in seventh grade, I learnt Kuchipudi. But, my father worked in a bank and we used to move from one place to another place continuously. When I was a kid, I used to do gymnastics A LOT (don’t think I look like Simone Biles 😂🤣). I started doing them at the age of 3 and My father guided me. But, that was past and now I can’t even do a cartwheel. So, later I joined in music class and practiced it for like one year and then BOOM! we got transferred to other place. There I started learning that Kuchipudi and don’t know what happened to my teacher, he stopped teaching after 3 months 🤷‍♀️ and like always, we got transferred again. You know what, If I go on telling my flashback like this it will go on forever 😂. Yeah it happened again – joined in music class AGAIN and dropped out AGAIN and there comes my studies 🙏 and it was like gambling – pass or fail, pass or fail 🤷‍♀️. I don’t want to talk about it. Ultimately, you can say, I am a student of all and master of none 😅 (I used this statement twice today 😛).

So, where are we – yeah today’s new adventure (not really 😅) was, I practiced Bharatanatyam classical dance by draping saree for the first time. You may wonder, I used to learn Kuchipudi but why Bharatanatyam now!? That’s because, now, during this corona time, I can’t go out and find a teacher for Kuchipudi when I have a Bharatanatyam teacher at my home (my Mom). She was a dancer and gave many stage performances. So, That’s the reason I am learning it now. After all, age is nothing when we really want to do something that we like right!

Earlier in my Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fuck blog post, I mentioned that we don’t need to go and search for happiness and pleasure. We can experience it completely only when we do whatever we are pursuing with our heart. Yeah I can feel that now. This challenge is giving me the satisfaction that I am craving for all the time. To do whatever I want, to learn new things, to make mistakes and learn from that. Literally, today when I was trying this thing, I had a fight with my mom, I did not drape the saree well, I almost fell down when I was doing the steps, my legs were hurt like hell and also I cried by hiding my face under a towel. But I am telling you the truth, these all gave me a complete satisfaction. I am satisfied that I am learning something. I always believe in one thing – whenever you want something in your life, but it’s difficult to get it, then it’s definitely worth trying for.

This is one of my favorite sketches that I tried a long time ago ❤

Neither I can go to the past and change the things nor I can sit here worrying about it. At one point of time, we have to move on and do something for ourselves. I have a future in my hands to deal with. So, I am doing something now before I regret about not trying it in the future.

Thank you for reading guys and let’s see what I am going to do tomorrow 🤞. À demain!
