Some rythmic sounds caught my attention while I was passing through woods near a river. I reached the destination from where all these were coming , it was the best moment to my ears and eyes to view, it was her Natyam ( Dance ) that mesmerized me, I couldn't believe how I became so hypnotic glancing her eyes which are telling many things along with her hands and leg movements. I felt like she was narrating a story to this stranger; I watched standing behind a tree so that I wouldn't be a disturbance or interrupt her.
After the completion, she sat near the river on a rock. She stretched her legs into the water and was moving her feet with relief and relaxing herself.
I wanted to go and ask her name or talk to her introducing myself but I don't know why, my heart held me back which couldn't do anything but was forcible to appreciate her beautiful expressions and movements. I felt as if the whole world stopped for a while, now it's just me and her.
Suddenly a voice came "Avantika!! , Guruji is calling you !!! ". From no where my lips automatically pronounced her name "Avantika" with some unknown feeling of joy in a soft tone and I came into reality from the hypnotic world where I got lost. Before I could talk anything , she left with her friend and for me my destination was to walk some miles more, so even I moved from that place.

Today I'm here with my wife and kids and we came to the same place, I sat on the same rock touching the place where she placed her soft hands that day, I smiled gently remembering those beautiful moments in my life. Then my wife held my hand with her soft hands and said " Hey! I couldn't believe you stayed behind that tree just looking at me for more than 3hours, my dear".
