Walking the Arduous Rope

Visual and performative art has been an integral and indispensable element of our nation’s rich cultural heritage. Be it literature, music, theatre, or paintings, we have all been mesmerized by the abilities of artists to express through their art-piece. Understandably, no child dreamed of growing up to become a Management consultant, Supply Chain Manager, or Data Analyst. There exists an artist within each of us and it takes immense courage and perseverance to nurture that alter-ego to great heights. With this panel, we aim to bring forth stories of those who explored the uncharted territory, took the road less travelled and reached divine elevation for their contribution to society. In a country rich in diversity, wherein a span of mere 50 kilometres witnesses distinct food, language, and art, it is imperative to understand the journey surrounding these brave souls. To facilitate the same, we present to you renowned art personalities to share the challenges and excitements of their journey. A first-hand account of the unique experiences will help motivate and guide the younger generations in walking the arduous rope to achieve greatness, despite all the challenges life poses.
