Delhi, India: During childhood, at the place where my younger sister learned kathak dance, for some time, I had learned playing harmonium. Watching my sister move her feet at the basic kathak rhythm of "ta thai thai tat", I had also learned it. A few years ago, in Delhi I had seen the students of Guru Geetanjali Lal do a fusion of kathak and the Spanish flamenco, that was wonderful. Today's images are from that performance.

दिल्ली, भारतः बचपन में जहाँ मेरी छोटी बहन कत्थक सीखती थी, वहीं मैंने कुछ दिन हारमोनियम सीखा. अपनी बहन को "ता थई थई थत" पर पाँव चलाते देखते देखते, मुझे भी वह करना आ गया था. कुछ वर्ष पहले दिल्ली में गुरु गीताँजली लाल के गुट को कत्थक व स्पेनी फ्लामेन्को का मिश्रित नृत्य करते देखा था, जो बहुत सुन्दर लगा था. आज की तस्वीरें उसी नृत्य से हैं.

Delhi, India: Quando ero bambino, la scuola dove mia sorella più piccola studiava la danza kathak, per un po' di tempo avevo frequentato le lezioni di Harmonium (uno strumento musciale indiano). Guardando mia sorella muovere i piedi al ritmo di "ta thai thai tat", il ritmo di base della danza kathak, anch'io l'avevo imparato. Qualche anno fa, avevo visto gli studenti della guru Geetanjali Lal ballarare una danza fusion, misto di kathak e flamenco spagnolo, che era meraviglioso. Le immagini di oggi sono da quella danza.
