dancing

I was very active in the class room. Myself, Rukmini, V.V.Ssubbalakshmi and Umamaheswari used to be in the fore front for all the extra curricular activites.We used to raise our hands when ever teacher used to ask if any of us were interested in dancing, singing etc. As I learnt classical dancing at Gudur itself I preferred to participate in dancing. Rukmini and myself danced for Gowrammaa nee mogudevaramma in movie Moogamanusulu, Rmakadhanu vinarandi in Lavakusa.Our dance practice was in science laboratory and schools old students used to come and teach us for specific dances. For independence day Rukminis mother gave us a song and taught us dance for that specific song. Song was about our national flag and importance of those colors and asoka chakra. On one occassion, then our chief minister ,Kasu Brahmaananda reddy visited our school.On that occassion there wer ecultural programmes. I danced for Naagamallikona lona ,nakkindoledikoona from Kantharaos movie. Our chief minister was impressed by my dance and he patted me and said I did well. He told to prove myself in studies also.I was very happy. Next day in all daily newspapers our photo with the chief minister came in the front page. I was very happy.
