MALAYALEES PRIDE IN EUROPE

Through this page we hope to share with our Malayalee community the talents that lay hidden among us. We also hope that through our site many of our organisations, associations, faith centres would identify these European Malayalee talents and give them an opportunity to perform during their events.

My greatest achievement:

The two prizes I won in WMC youth festival held in Kerala.  It was, tough but it was so rewarding to win any prize as I had to compete with talents not only from Kerala but also from USA, Europe and Gulf.

My ambition:

I want to continue learn dancing and performing, beside my career r studies, and even after I grow up. My ambition is to become an office e lawyer.

My concern:

That there will be less chances to compete as an adult because it seems to be the trend that people stop devoting time for such

cultural activities, giving priority only to their studies.

Dedication:

To my teacher, Kalatharamgini Ms. Mary John. She is very well-known n to Malayalis in Europe, especially in Austria, Switzerland, Italy, Spain n and UK.  She conducts various Indian classical dance workshops for r foreigners in various European countries and is well-known equally y amongst Indians and non-Indians in Europe.  All my achievements so o far are because of her, and of course my parents. Flowers to them!
