“Life ek baar milti hai; try everything!” is the mantra of this 15-year-old prodigy.
Her father says he doesn’t remember his daughter crawling, that she was a toddler once now surprises him! And when this little girl was only 1.6-year-old, she started attending school. She was so active, always hopping and jumping or dancing on some random beats that her mother arranged a dance teacher for her. Imagine! At age two, this girl was learning dance. But what changed things for this girl was a TV program by Dr Roop Singh Shekhawat that she wanted to learn Bhavai, a folk dance form of Gujarat.
Even the thought of her 5-year-old-daughter balancing heavy earthen pots on her head and swaying with the soles of her feet perched on the top of a glass, the edge of the sword, the tip of the nails or rim of a brass plate scared her to death. It was a clear no! But she is a fighter. She herself practiced balancing books, glass, and plates on her head. Seeing her so passionate for it, the poor mother gave up and arranged a home teacher.
In 2013, she participated in the International Dance Competition during Green-Wood Udbhav Utsav in Gwalior, where participants came from 7 different countries(France, Germany, Kazakhstan, etc.) and she stood first.
Bringing laurels for India back home at such a young age boosted her confidence and then there was no looking back. She has since then participated in many national and international dance competitions organized by Akhil Bharatiya Sanskrutik Sangh performing Bhavai, Kathak, and semi-classical dance forms.
Traveling to various countries and winning several competitions have not only improved her dance but have also helped her immensely in sports and academics.
Along with being an impeccable dancer, she is a sports enthusiast. Her mornings start with badminton; she has been the best athlete of her school for the last three years, has represented the school in skating at the district level, and recently played national-level chess junior category.
People who meet her often ask what she would become in the future – a sports star or a professional dancer. For her, however, dreams lay elsewhere – business. “My father is a businessman and I want to walk in his footsteps,” she says.
When she was 12, she went to Amsterdam to see the exhibition of the world’s biggest machines to see how the machines work.
A Versatile Award winner of her school, she suggests students her age to follow their dream, and not others, and requests parents not to have expectations from their children they themselves could not stand up to. “Live and let live,” she says.
She is Anayana Singhvi, a prodigy from India! – 15 years old.
Recently her book got published by the name- ATARAXIA (UN-INKED TO RELEARN) in the GENRE – RANDOM POETRIES and is AVAILABLE ON: AMAZON AND FLIPKART
