Some memories are highly painful, I always wanted to erase these non pleasant memories from my life. It was in 2012, My guruji had left dance institute unfortunately due to some conflicts with the principal of institute. We disciplines of guruji were feeling orphan because guruji wasn't there to teach us dance. We were in dilemma. My entire group of dance was shifted to some other guruji's class. Our new guru was very famous and senior most at institute. But she never taught a single step by particularly giving focus on each and every student differing from our previous guruji. We had to learn from front line students of her class. For the whole year I was going there to learn dance but unfortunately didn't learn a single step of her style . In Kathak, there are certain gharanas. But every guru has different style of dance inspite of belonging to different or same gharanas. In the end of year there used to be exam both practical as well as theoretical in Kathak also. My new guruji denied me to give exam. Although she was right, I was null and void about her dance style, Though I knew many things of my previous guruji's style. But this severely enraged my father who was asking me↪️ Collab and complete this #shortstory prompt. Feel free to write in any language and as many words. #theletterstory #YourQuoteAndMine Collaborating with YourQuote Baba What I was doing for the entire year inspite of giving my precious hours of 12th class... Board exams were also there, but I gave major hours of my day in Kathak uselessly according to him... He had a logic like other middle class people that degree matters a lot without bothering if you have learnt something new or not... If you are giving precious hours of your life in something... You must have proof cum degree of it otherwise it's useless because we are not residing in foreign country, but in our country where every single achievement needs tag or degree... Though neither papa was wrong entirely... Nor guru ji... But there was big argumental fight happened between both... Papa asked her what she was doing the entire year, why she didn't teach me dance... Because I was religiously going there everyday inspite of my 12th board class... It seriously created lot of scenes... Guruji chided at me so severely... asking me why I made fun of her on questioning the reasons to not give exam... Seriously that time I took vow I would never dance again in life because I was made Centre of attraction amid the whole scenario among musicians, other students... Neither Guruji nor my father could understand my pain...
