"Dance is devotion personified, if channeled that way," said Ashutosh, smiling quietly at Janardhan, his best friend, who felt anciently known more than anything else. "Dance can also show the truth, real values, and educate people."
"Then show it, Ashu," Janardhan said, voice deep like thunder. "You are the only one capable of it, and I am always here to support you."

Ashutosh Raaman loved dance like it was his own breath, as much as he adored Sri Hari, his aaradhya and ishtadeva. Born in a Sri Vaishnava family, Ashutosh had been given values that aligned not just with the Sampradaya, but with humanity as a whole.
Working two jobs, a choice he made, gave him fresh and layered perspectives to multiple situations, though everything was ultimately channeled into dance. He was happy with his small circle, including his parents, little sister, best friend and the latter's elder brother. The appearance of Sivagami in his life had changed that.
A tale of dance, of art, of love, of Dharma, and of the highest Truth- Ardhanaari.
