The time I got to reenact Damyanti

I had to get dressed (pic: with ample help!) while directing the classroom sequences. 
Finally when I got in front of the camera and started performing the solo, my Guru, standing behind the camera couldn’t help the streams of tears rolling down his cheeks. 
It was a cathartic moment for Guru and Shishya. 
Then we headed out to the Keli beach to shoot the Kalaripayettu sequences. 
Satyan and his team were masterly and yet open to my designing their moves for the camera. 
Will always remain a humble student of life and it’s transformative moments.
