Welcome to the first in a series of intimate first -person sharings from dancer daughters. These talented and determined women take time to acknowledge the contribution their mothers made in the shaping and making of their dance careers. As with all mothers, the supervision went much further than the dance studio and stage. Meenakshi Chittaranjan, Bharatanatyam dancer and guru, inaugurates our monthly column on the women who birthed us who stood by us until the end... our mothers! Enjoy and send us your comments.
