"Taka dhimi, taka dhimi" is one of the many dance rhythms, or taals, of Bharatanatyam, the oldest classical dance tradition in India. Expressed as a living form of art, Bharatanatyam has a deep devotional component that pervades the artist beyond just the dance. Mastering this art form can be very demanding, both mentally and physically, and takes years of dedication and discipline, but ultimately, the journey is very rewarding. Learn how this art form influenced the life of one such individual.

Anything less is a mere reflection of the flaws in the parent or a reflection of their inabilities. This mindset often leads to discomfort, anxiety and exhaustion. So how can parents cope with the pressures and paradoxes of parenting? Learn through the insights of a school principal and parent, and through the guidance of an individual who was not a parent.

Selfies have been around since 2010, just as smartphones with cameras began catching fire. The word "selfie", however, wasn’t recognized by the Oxford dictionary until 2013. But the word grew in such prominence in a short period of time, that 2014 was declared "The Year of the Selfie."
At the end of the day, selfies are about the "Self". What I look like. Where I am. Where I've been. Who I'm with. What I’m doing. Selfies often do not show what life is really like, but rather show an illusion and a filtered, edited reality. Social media for many is a mask and and a way to show a more perfect "you".
Humility is the opposite of selfies. It aims to put others before us. Learn how humility can help us become an even better person through the example of a person who has never focused on 'selfies.'
