happy game

Amma taught me Bharatanatyam in our living room, her silver anklets chiming against worn hardwood floors. Years later, I choreograph for weddings, earning enough to support her dream: opening a small classical arts studio. My Tamil grandmother watches videos of my performances, laughing with pure joy each time. She says my mudras tell stories only our ancestors understand. My siblings joke that I've turned our heritage into happiness itself. This work feels like play, like coming home. Every commission funds our community's cultural space, ensuring younger generations inherit these beautiful traditions we carry forward together.
