“You've gotta dance like there's nobody
watching.” And that’s what Fara was doing. It didn’t matter to her whether she
was in front of an audience, or this stage was the result of constant fights to
live her dreams. All that mattered was the sound of her Ghungroos and the music
to which she was moving. She came to her senses only when the music stopped and
the audience started to applaud her. The journey from a Muslim
family who doesn’t even allow their daughters to even have an eye contact with strangers
to a professional dancer was not easy. But she fought with all her passion and
heart. Thou her family still gives a hard face she know from the praises that the
world have accepted her and her talent. And now nothing or no one can destroy her
dreams.
“Fara ...
Fara … Wake up … the doctor is here with the prosthetic leg… “
Linking this to
P.S. Ghungroo - A musical anklet tied to the feet of classical Indian dancers.
Hopefully all the dreams of that little fighter will be fulfilled :)
