A Human Dance! Sir, whatever you say, I can't accept your request to perform even other types of dances. Even if that is your command, not a request, I shall not agree to perform it. Never! I understand you want to honour my talent, and you would like to see my progress and achievement regarding me as someone close to you. You have asked me to perform various other types of dances, and you have helped me grow my income. I know that, but I do not have any intention to accept this request. I do not want it. Whatever you say, now. I do not have any intention to perform classical dance. I do not think merely the promise of wealth, name, fame, and prosperity will ever satiate my heart. Now I am content. Indeed, I am not kidding. I am contented with a masked dance - a LAKHÉ dance. And the payment you give me for that, albeit a small amount, is sufficient for me to make a living. I have never claimed for more than that, but please do not impede me from the only dance that I wish to perform. I implore you not to hold me back from it. You might wonder how that meek masked dance makes me content with life. True, that masked dance is neither difficult nor is it charming, creative, and artistic. I admit it. Even an ordinary dancer can perform this masked dance with little effort. True, it would not be so interesting and alluring for a dancer well versed in various classical dances. However, I can assure you none of the performances has given me such contentment as from that masked dance. You might find it surprising. I am sometimes surprised myself, amazed too. I still wonder why that masked dance gives me pleasure and appeasement. The first time I came to your dance troupe, you asked me to start with the masked dance. Handing me a mask you had asked me to practice masked dance, not any other type of dance. I remember how I was feeling. I felt insulted and wanted to hurl that wooden mask on your face and walk out of your troupe. Indeed, it was an insult to somebody so well versed in several types of classical and modern dances, a graduate from dance academy. I had thought you had intended to call me to your troupe and insult me with such a trivial job. However, my courteousness and obligation made me keep my mouth shut. I looked at that mask for a while and naively pucked it up and put it on my head. when i looked up at reflection after putting on mask for the first time inwas experiencing a kind of excitiment. i was feelling if new strength was growing within. Just then, i decided that I would perform this LAKHE dance. Whatever trivial dance may it be. whatever damage might it bring to my reputation, I must perform this dance. Then I had told you that I am ready to accept your offer of the masked dance
