How easy is it to learn a traditional Indian Art in Alien soil?
Lakshmi: Learning a traditional Indian art in another country is not an easy journey; it takes a special kind of commitment, passion and determination to continue pursuing the art form for any number of years. I would like to note that my parents played a vital role in helping me cultivate my dedication for dance. Seeing that we are so removed from India, I can understand how one would lose interest in their artistic career, however I strongly feel that the people closest to you can create a strong support system.
