First three years flew by. Every year was different, I got to learn so many different dance styles which I had never imagined myself do- ing but one thing remained the same – I made memories which I would cherish for a lifetime. Some- thing that intrigued me was how challenging it was for the PWave Secretaries to manage everything. Getting the concept ready, man- aging the whole team of dancers, costumes, choreography, timings! The To-do list never seemed to end and on top of that, I also had to be updated with what’s going on in the classes. How could they do all that and still be happy and patient?

A team that turned into family in no time with the foyer becoming our home! Chitrakshi, who played Trisha was a delight to work with. Well, I think all of us are aware of the amazing transformation she un- derwent. I really appreciate her patience and cooperation while working with me as I always was juggling between my responsibili- ty of the person in charge of the show and her co-performer. She being an exceptional performer, I believe no one could have done Trisha’s character justice as her.
