Meera's fingers trembled as she stepped onto the stage in Chennai. Years of grueling Bharatanatyam training had led here. The entrance felt menacing somehow, despite the cheerful applause. She'd been force-fed expectations her entire childhood, yet something exactly clicked tonight. Her feet stamped ancient rhythms across worn wooden boards.
