Leadership with Grace: Turning Dreams into Reality

Not every day do your dreams come true! Sometimes, the most extraordinary moments arise from the quietest leaps of faith. The Rajyotsava celebrations at my office were one such extraordinary moment. It was an overwhelming experience to receive a full-house standing ovation. What made it even more emotional was realizing that this ovation was for turning one of my dreams into reality. This experience was a testament to what leadership with grace can accomplish – the ability to bring a vision to life with compassion, patience, and the trust of those around you. Creating Something Bigger Together This year’s theme, “Grandeur of the Kingdoms of Karnataka,” was the perfect opportunity to dream bigger. I wanted to create a classical dance choreography from scratch, right from the lyrics and music to the final dance. The challenge? To do it with the in-house talents in our company, none of whom had experience creating music for classical dance. So this was a true leap of faith. And ...

Humility : Backbone of a leader

However, one critical aspect behind all of this was often overlooked. And that is HUMILITY. "Humility is not thinking less of yourself, it’s thinking of yourself less." – C. S.

Thanks to my guru, I’ve had the privilege of engaging with artists honored with Padma Shri and Padma Bhushan. As an introvert who is in awe of these artists, my initial instinct is often hesitation to approach them. But the first th...

Stepping up is an Attitude, not a Task

Anybody can be good when things are going good, but a real player steps up when things are going bad. - Daunte Culpepper, American football quarterback Stepping up during the pandemic Dancing is more than a passion to me. It's something which defines me. I have been dancing for decades and continue to learn after a long break. But a question always stayed on my mind. Reality is I cannot be a performer at this stage, in the highly competitive space. But then how can I still be connected to this world. This is where the whole pandemic helped me clear my thoughts and begin a new experience. Pandemic meant a whole lot of online activity, which I had the means to handle very well. Which meant, I should step-up to the new opportunities presented before me here. Firstly, with the encouragement of my Guru, I started writing reviews/reports of dance events. Writing reviews/reports of events related to art and artists is not like writing 'MY blog'. My biggest learning!...
