SUMMARY:Mahathi Kannan (Guru Padma Subrahmanyam)
DESCRIPTION:Mahathi Kannan is a bharatanatyam dancer. She is a disciple of Padma Subramanyam. She is a granddaughter of Uma Sriram\, who comes from an illustrious line of dancers.\nWe are both dancers and relate to each other very easily\, says Mahati with a smile. She means everything to me she is not only my grandmother but my guru as well. Uma adds indulgently\, My bond with Mahati is one of grandmother and teacher. The guru-sishya relationship is a very special bond as is the one between a grandparent and grandchild. For me\, it’s double the joy Mahati was destined to learn classical dance from the day she was born. It also helped at mealtimes\, a trying ritual for most kids! When she was a child\, I used to feed her while showing videos of our guru’s dance\, recalls the 66 year-old. The food went down without a fuss! She used to start dancing and enjoy the whole thing. She quickly adds that Mahati receives no special treatment in class. In fact\, coming from this family\, we are quite strict with her as expectations are higher. It is a sheer joy to watch her dancing. Those information is from an article.
