In adversity, we seldom seek strength, power and peace within…
Draupadi asks Krishna, ‘Sakha… what took you so long to come to my aid?’ to which Krishna replied, ‘Sakhi you called out to Giridhar, Gopala, Govinda, Mukunda etc… But I was with you all along… All you had to do was meditate on Manmohana, the Krishna that resides within you..’
I learnt of this profound dialogue from my Guruji and Atul Tiwariji whilst performing Draupadi for an audio visual show of the Mahabharata being shown at Jyotisar Kurukshetra.
Video from my first baithak abhinaya performance dancing to the music of the brilliant artists Vamshi ji, Prathap ji and Gnani ji for @nupurarts Swara Sandhya last year.
Please forgive me for any mistakes as this was meant to be an improvised piece 🙏

Safari ~ A journey that transports you into a world of alertness, watchfulness, astonishment, appreciation, disappointment, excitement, adrenaline-rush and tranquility.
I don’t think I’ve ever been this excited about waking up at the crack of dawn on a cold winter morning but it was worth it. Patiently watching Siddhi and T-112 hang around, was definitely worth it.
And even after, living in a quaint and beautiful homestay by the inimitable photographer @dickysingh and his lovely wife @poonamsingh1969 was truly memorable. A perfect place for the littles to run around, watch little animals and get home-cooked home-grown food.
Spending time with family, away from the rut of life in an atmosphere so calming like this, is restorative ❤️

This one was EPIC!
The return to dance after birth is an unspoken area which can be isolating and daunting.
Having a positive support network is vital to enable you to reconnect with yourself, accept your new body and to balance life with your new baby.
Thank you for actor and dancer @suhani8 who shared her experiences in such a humble and honourable way. Her physical and mental process is unique to her and is worth celebrating.
Please share 🙏
Warm wishes
Seema and Suhani
I am super excited to talk with Indian actress and dancer @suhani8 about her return to dance after having her child.
In this intimate conversation Suhani share the recovery process, the barriers that dancers face, the support that she needed, the life balance, the resources that she accessed and how we can make change.
This is a problem that many of us mothers face around the world and I am truly honoured that Suhani has accepted my invitation to talk about it.
