उत्तर
| Me | Hello, Ms.Anita. How are you? |
| Ms. Anita | I’m doing well. How about you? |
| Me | I’m doing very well. Thank you. So, tell me, how was the dance show last evening? |
| Ms. Anita | The show went very well. I think it was one of my finest performances till date. |
| Me | Wow! Now, that makes me wish I was there. But I have to tell you, Ms. Anita, you are one of the best dancers of our time. I don’t know anyone else who can perform ‘Bharatanatyam’ as well as you do. And that too when you have one prosthetic leg! |
| Ms. Anita | Oh, stop it! You are embarrassing me. I know there aren’t many ‘Bharatanatyam’ dancers who have a prosthetic leg, but I’m hardly one of the best. |
| Me | No, I’m serious, Ms. Anita Not many people have the courage and determination to do what you have done. I know that after losing your leg, initially, it was difficult for you to get around. However, you slowly managed to cope with the problem and now you are back in the industry. |
| Ms. Anita | That’s true. At first, it was too difficult. But once I decided that I didn’t want to be dependent on others for the rest of my life, I found the courage to get back everything that I had lost due to the accident. The first time I put on the prosthetic leg, I didn’t think I would get used to it. But now, I hardly notice it anymore. |
| Me | I truly admire your strength and enthusiasm. You chose to overcome the problem and you didn’t give up. I’m sure that wouldn’t have been easy. It’s inspiring to see your hard work pay off. You have performed in India and internationally after the accident. And that shows that you have come a long way. So, would you say that you have left the darkness of that incident behind? |
| Ms. Anita | Yes, I have. It was very important to stop feeling sorry for myself. Self-pity was not going to help me. So, I knew I had to leave the incident behind if I wanted to do something in life. And I haven’t done something unique. There are people who have disabilities that are worse than mine. But they have a positive attitude towards life. They try to be independent and live their life to the fullest. I took inspiration from such people to get over the pain and the sorrow. |
| Me | Well, it is an honour to have met you. I hope that you continue to perform for many more years and that your confidence inspires other people who are going through a similar experience. |
| Ms. Anita | You are being too kind. I certainly intend to perform for as long as I can. I too hope that others, who are trying to come to terms with their disability, find the motivation and the courage to do so. |
| Me | Thank you, Ms. Anita |
| Ms. Anita | Thank you. |
