The garden of love is green without limit and yields many fruits other than sorrow or joy. Love is beyond either condition: without spring, without autumn. It is always fresh.

Priyanka Chopra Was Told She Was “Too Ethnic”

Even though you might be the best person for the job, just because of the color of your skin, you don’t get cast. So, that happens. And it was extremely painful.

Is it fair for you to perform these tricks? How can you not see me, when I have been tortured by your love for so long? Oh lotus-eyed, you are the absolute truth. There is no other companion I can find in this journey of life. Shower your compassion on me, for I cannot bear the distress I feel from your indifference for even a second longer.

My shot of one of the gopurams of the iconic Thillai Nataraja Temple in Chidambaram. I had the incredible opportunity of receiving an close and intimate darshan of Thillai Nataraja himself. Chidambaram, besides being a very powerful Shiva temple, holds a special place in a dancer’s heart. This archaic temple is the origin of the representation of Shiva as Nataraja, the Lord of Dance, whose cosmic dance symbolizes the constant flux of atomic energy within the universe. Here, Shiva is worshipped as the abstract in the original swayambhu lingam that the sages Patanjali and Vyaghrapada discovered in the forest, the form in the anthropomorphic Nataraja murti, and the formless in a partition within the sanctum sanctorum they open up during darshan, where Shiva is worshipped as that empty space, or akash, itself.

Priyanka Chopra and Dev Patel discuss about their Indian heritage on “The View”

This is so awesome, and real! I felt the same exact way, hating and trying to get rid of my culture, until I started training in Kuchipudi four years ago. I realized that our culture is amazingly incredible. Now I’m living in Chennai pursuing advanced, intensive training in the art. Funny how life works.
