Guruji gave
me these photos to publish in my souvenir, which was released on 23rd December
2006. I was felicitated on 24th; he performed at Kuchipudi on 26th in Mohini
Bhasamasura. And he was gone on 4th January 2007.
It is a great
loss to me. He is my guru and uncle and we performed together so many times,
I as Satyabhama and he was Sutradhari; I as Mohini and he as Bhasmasura;
I as Durga and he as Mahishasura, I as Alamelumanga and he as Annamacharya...we
did so many prestigious programs like that. It is still difficult to accept
that he is no more. I feel as if he is still with us.
He participated
in my 25th Annual Celebrations on 23rd & 24th December. We have lost
a great dancer and great guru. |
