The three Rs - reading, 'riting, 'rithmetic - make one literate, while the seven Rs - radiance, rapport, refinement, religious, restraint, reverence, rhythm - metamorphose one into a complete human being, that is an artiste. There is an additional R in Rashmi's name itself.

Rashmi on the stage is like a dream come true, a vision materialised. Her face becomes like a magic mirror on which subtle passion and emotions play an endless "hide and seek". This was evident in her, while perfoming Varnam.

The sollukattu from your Guru was so creatively motivating. It looked as though she was throwing new and impromptu challenges (savaal) at you which you would accept with complete composure and return your javab. Such elegant blend, such fine understanding and such overall involvement. It was a great experience. Surely you instantaneously projected to the Bharata Natya firmament as resplendent star.

Rashmi could be considered as the pick of the bunch. She was full of delicate charm in the solo Abhinaya followed by Nritta and Nritya, in its swiftness and dignity. Her movements have acquired a tensile strength to hold sway on the viewers.

Rashmi teaches little children to breathe, to vibrate, to feel, and to become one with culture and traditions. She is trying to produce a beautiful human being, not just a dancing child.

The stick dance was the highlight of our festival. All parents were amazed that the children could perform such a difficult dance. It was wonderful. Thank you so much for giving so much of your time and energy to our children and enriching our cultural study. You are a great teacher and very special person. I feel very fortunate to have met you.

Thank you so much for sharing your amazing talent with our class. Your guidance and patience helped to make our cultural festival a special day that we will never forget.

Wow! Thank You so much for the great lessons about India. Working with you was a special treat. Please keep teaching. You have a special talent.

Ms Rashmi as a student of the Vasundara Performing Art Centre gave numerous performences both solo and in group. Ms. Rashmi is talented, creative and has an acumen for Bharathanatyam. I wish her all success.
