Return to kathak roots

Sharing her love for Kathak, Sumona took to Instagram and wrote, “Something that I began during my childhood days in Lucknow. After our relocation to Bbay, I never really pursued it. I was too busy trying to fit in & settle down first in school then college then career… Waqt hi nahi mila. After almost 25 yrs if not more, I decided to re-start Kathak all over again in Dec 2023. From scratch. Back to basics. Today after almost 2.5 months, my teacher Milli Miss made me wear my ghungroo. It is one of the most beautiful sounds ever. It is never too late to start or re-start anything that you want to do. Age can never be a deterrent. Of course, my heel hurts, I soak my feet it in warm water at night after my class.” 

Further, she wrote, “But it feels so fulfilling. No hustle. No competition. No judgments. Just doing what you love. Only this time I intend to pursue this forever. What is it that you decided to start or re-start in your life? Any hobby? Activity? Habit? Could be anything at all ….”
