Dance First, Think Later- Choudhury Smita Dash, MDI Gurgaon
“Like a small boat, in the ocean. Sending big waves into motion.” The same tune. The same hum. Every morning she wakes up, the same routine. Rachel Platen had become her favorite songwriter for the past few months. Hair tied up in a donut, eyes puffy yet so full of life, she would quietly slide into her black and orange tracks and head out of her room. Tiptoeing to the door, singing to herself, twisting and twirling through the way, she reaches her favorite destination. Right in front of her, next to the door laid her ticket to freedom. A humble pair of white sneakers with Forever Glam etched in golden at the back lies there on the shoe rack exposing a worn out sole. She bought them from the first competition she won and since then, they have given wings to her dreams. The soles give life to her soul. Every move of her ankle, every break and pop of her bones, every flip of her hair makes an explosion. She believes in herself. She is me.
