Shri Deepak Mazumdar

It is my proud privilege to be associated with my alma voter ever since 1974 till date. My relationship with my dear Guru Kanakben is an unconditional bond not only of this birth but many more births, if we believe in rebirth. I have groomed as a fine artiste only because of her. For me she is my ideal and shall remain till my last breath.

I remember the day when first I stepped into her office at Nalanda, I was astounded by her magnetic personality, I have yet to meet a person who has the best combination of Beauty and Intelligence. The entire credit of my upbringing in the world of Dance goes to her only. What I am today is just the reflection and I am proud that in the world of Classical Dance only breathe her in and out over these years the flow of knowledge has never ceased and I can never quench my thirst of understanding the nuances from the ocean that she is, In true sense “Nāalamdā” means the same “never can you quench the thirst of knowledge”.
