It was his 'inside' voice, a call from the soul,that drove him to take up dance at a professional level. He learnt to use his body in accordance with the various dance poses. But he always strived to be original,to do something new and different, something very unconventional and ' Ghungharoo'was the result. His future plans include keeping up with good and creative work and also go further in life.through his art form .He aims to propagate the Guru-shishya parampara."
