ReplyDeleteDear Deepa,
ReplyDeleteI have met your mother long back . I think it was when you have performed at Mamta Modern School and you were returning back home. I had even spoken to her on phone once to congratulate you for winning Boogie Woogie competition. She was very thankful.i too have always found you were very focused towards dance. Touching article on your mother. Keep it up.
