Scholastic Indians, especially from South India lean strongly towards Academics. I was no exception to this rule. I have always added to the list of degrees behind my name. For a performing art to live beyond stage shows, it is important to take it to an academic level. My academic back ground and thirst for knowledge has defined my path in that direction. 2007 Completed three courses at the Department of Theatre, Dance and Peformance studies, University of Berkeley, CA.
