:I HAVE NO WISH TO HAVE MY REVIEW PUBLISHED IN THE PAPER EVERY WEEK. IN FACT, ONE SENIOR DANCER HAS BEEN BLACKLISTED IN DELHI PAPERS FOR THRUSTING HER MUG ONTO THE MEDIA RELENTLESSLY BY A FAMILY MEMBER. NOW NOBODY WANTS TO FEATURE HER AT ALL.. THAT IS WHAT HAPPENS WITH OVERKILL.. GIVE ME ONE DECENT REVIEW OF MY WORK.. DONT OCCUPY SPACE UNNECESSARILY.. I WOULD LOVE TO ENCOURAGE YOUNGER DANCERS BUT THEY ARE SO ARROGANT AND DONT WANT ANY ADVICE OR MENTORING FROM SOMEONE LIKE ME OR ANYONE ELSE.. THAT IS THE STATE OF OUR DANCE ..AT LEAST IN MY HOMETOWN
How can it be the responsibility of senior dancers to speak up and work towards cleaning up this corrupt system if it is thanks to this system that the senior dancers occupy all the space in the press????? After all, it is exactly thanks to this system that some dancers became "senior" (so to say!)!!!
:
: Show me at least one senior dancer who would say that she does not want her reviews published every week.
