 The thrill of discovering India and the heart of Europe is so heady. Its spell is phenomenal. When my feet touched Indian soil, the spices, the colors, big fascination with India. Of course, Shah Rukh. Column howl and then puff. Lecha, lecha. Na, na, na, lecha, lecha. Idam to teguya tamam. Ravaksham yana suyane. Surkupavitra samasthi. I like very much. Everybody can be a sit-out or drama today. The source of spirituality for me. The beautiful girl, you know, your face is like the moon. Definitely Arundhati boy. Rathmohan Gandhi. It's a very special place. It's more than just a country. For me, for us, Merijan. It is in Vienna the city of music that we began our search for India. And fittingly, Mumbai's Bollywood was expressing itself here in the only way it can. The craze for Shah Rukh is unimaginable. Over the last few years, there has been an amazing rise in the popularity of Bollywood music and dance, which is now seen as a separate genre. For me, Bollywood wasn't only dance. It was a new culture, a new point of view, new music. I think that that's the point. In Barcelona, many of Ballerina is busy connecting the origins of European gypsies to India. Anecdotes fill gaps in our understanding of why Flamenco, the Spanish dance form, is so similar to Indian dance styles. So whenever you ask somebody from the gypsy community in the south of Spain, they tell you they come from India. Okay, there is a whole historical research about that. You know how the gypsies came from maybe Rajasthan and they end up in Spain. Gypsies in Rajasthan feel the same. I have the same approach to music like I do, like my people do.

I think life is made of the component that are in Bharatanatyam. Odyssey, in a way, it's my yoga and I cannot conceive dance without yoga. Indian culture is increasingly visible in Europe through yoga, Ayurveda and practice of Hindu religion. More and more people are practicing yoga here as an alternate lifestyle to stay healthy. India has taught the world many, many things, but I think yoga teaches the best way to live. Through yoga and through the techniques, through the meditation, I can enjoy every moment in my life more and more. Europe is discovering Indian literature and new writing. Enthusiasm is visible amongst bookworms as they race to read Indian authors that have been translated in their own language. It's also bringing something that French literature lacks, which is a very, very strong tradition of storytelling. Ancient Indian scriptures too are also enjoying a revival. I began to introduce the plot of Ramayana and that story, so the people then knew a bit about it and then became interested. Sami mimes India into the hearts of his audience. Drawing inspiration from Kathakali, the Indian dance form that creatively uses facial expressions, he manages to lend a distinct uniqueness to his performance. When I took classes in the Kathakali, telling the stories with the eyes, the perfect control of each movement, each movement has to have some meaning. It's not just doing for doing. It's very difficult to speak for your heart. When your heart is connected, you don't need reasons. You're just there. I feel that India is my country, my heart's country. My life is here, but I feel that India is my country. If love between the people of Europe and India is so intense, can the relationship of the two parts be far behind? To make it an affair to remember, all that needs to be done now is to heed the advice of a well-known Urdu poet who once advised all lovers to be patient. This is only the beginning, my love. Why the fuss? Wait for the future and see what this relationship does.
