As Martha Graham, a legendary American dancer and choreographer, once said, 'Dance is the hidden language of the soul.'

Natyashastra became the fifth Veda, as art is the easiest medium of self-expression. Today, dance demands skill, practice, and perfection. However, in this ongoing trend of becoming the best dancer and monetizing art, we tend to forget our true relationship with dance.

Little children, before going to their dance lessons, wiggle their bodies and sway to music in joy. The elderly, with toothy grins, twist and turn their hips when they hear a song from their time. Even adults in this fast-paced world engage in some 3 a.m. moves without mastering professional techniques.

But why?

Because dance brings joy. It celebrates the movement of the universe, the world, and this body.

As a dancer, this journal is a love letter to dance.

May you happily twirl around and shed all other inhibitions the next time you hear music and want to break a leg.

Dance has been for everyone since time immemorial and shall continue to be the same forever.All Rights Reserved

THE PREMISE OF LOVE by helloougly

My Poetry, the art form of the soul, is an exquisite tapestry of language that weaves together emotions, thoughts, and experiences with skillful craftsmanship. It is a captivating expression of the human spirit, transcending time and culture, to touch the hearts and minds of readers throughout generations. At its essence, poetry is a dance of words that elevates ordinary language to extraordinary heights. Each poem is a carefully chosen arrangement of words, rhythm, and sound, forming a symphony that resonates within the reader's soul. With brevity and precision, poetry captures the depth of human emotions, painting vivid pictures with metaphors and similes that evoke powerful imagery. Poetry celebrates the beauty of language itself, as poets play with the melody of words, the interplay of sounds, and the cadence of lines. Through rhyme, alliteration, and repetition, poems become a melody for the mind, etching their verses into memory. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, poetry is a vessel for self-expression and introspection. Poets lay bare their innermost thoughts and feelings, exploring the complexities of the human condition. Whether it's love, heartbreak, joy, sorrow, hope, or despair, poetry offers an emotional sanctuary for both the poet and the reader. In its various forms and styles, poetry showcases the boundless creativity of the human mind. From structured forms like sonnets and haikus to free verse that flows unbridled, each style carries its unique allure, giving poets the freedom to experiment with different techniques and tones. Poetry is an open invitation to interpretation and personal connection. The meaning of a poem may vary from person to person, allowing readers to bring their own experiences and emotions into the verses. This openness ensures that poetry remains relevant and relatable, touching hearts across cultures and time.

Winds of Destiny by Melodic_narrator

"Who knows what destiny will do?" When Shankar, a man of few words and intense ambition, crosses paths with Madhavi, a lively and mischievous soul, their lives take an unexpected turn. He is bound by duty, anger, and an unwavering connection to Lord Shiva. She dances through life with wit, charm, and devotion to Krishna. Their first meeting is anything but ordinary, a clash of fiery tempers and playful minds. But as witty banters give way to deeper conversations, secrets buried within their family start to unravel. What Fate brought these two together and What forces are waiting to tear them apart? In a world where love, power, and faith collide, nothing is as it seems. Shankar leans back in his chair, his expression unreadable, yet his eyes flash with intensity. Shankar: "I don't believe in wasting time with words, Madhavi. Actions matter. And once I've made a decision, I don't look back." He pauses, eyes narrowing slightly, the hint of a challenge in his voice. Shankar: "So if you want to keep playing your little games, understand this-I don't lose." Madhavi twirls her flute between her fingers, a playful smile tugging at her lips as she looks at Shankar. Madhavi: "You might think life is all about control, Shankar, but where's the fun in that?" She takes a step closer, her eyes sparkling with mischief. Madhavi: "You say you don't lose, but I wonder... have you ever tried playing the game my way? You might just find yourself enjoying it." She grins, turning away with a wink, leaving him with more questions than answers.

AA's Second Chance. by sriya_writz

"Where There Is Love, There Is Pain" "Can love happen twice with the same person?" Letting go of someone you love is never easy, and the scars left behind can be deep. .....................🩵 she asked, "What's special today?" "Our 4-year anniversary," I said, my voice gentle, as if saying it aloud would remind her of the love we shared. Oh, I forgot," she muttered, Will you be my girlfriend again, my moon? Will you marry me and make me the happiest man alive? I want to spend my life with you, to have children, to grow old together. Will you be my wife?" Silence. Her tears fell freely now, but they weren't tears of happiness. Her face was pale, her body trembling. I stood up, panic rising in my chest. "What's wrong?" "I don't want to be your lover anymore. I'm scared of becoming your wife. I don't want to bring a child into a world where they'll suffer. Let's break up, Abhay." ......................🩵 (Optional to read) The distance from a heart you cherish creates an unbearable ache, leading you to act as if you've forgotten them. Yet, that separation doesn't just distance two souls; it transforms one, giving birth to a new identity shaped by pain. A sweet soul can become arrogant, an excited heart may turn into a depressed one, hiding behind a mask of false smiles. This is the story of two souls-Jeevana and Abhay-whose love was shattered by fear. Four years later, they find themselves on opposite paths. Jeevana, now a talented artist, conceals her sorrow with a smile, while Abhay has become a successful but cold businessman in the gaming world. Fate intervenes, bringing them face to face once again. In this tale of love and second chances, they must confront the past and decide if they can forgive and heal together, or if the wounds of their history will keep them apart forever.

MASK {COMPLETED} ✔️✔️ by priyaxsidneet

In collaboration with @_Simran_N_ "MASK" A four letter word plays a vital role in each one of our life. To cover our real side, real emotions. We use mask to cover. We do switch from one mask to another for every person in life. We do say "I am an open book in front of a particular person" but we all know either 1 or the other thing maybe the most minor thing that can be. We do hide from that person. Does that mean we are lying? Does that mean we are not loyal or trustworthy? Does that mean we don't value their love and care? Does that mean we are playing with feelings? Behind every mask there is a face and behind that a story Let's see what story this mask is holding behind.

Rhyme, Rhythm and Poetry by cchinu

Poetry serves as a way to express emotions. It gives words to what we think about everything around us. Things which we could have said so easily. But, when they are expressed in poems, "it feels special"
