I agree with you, it is a great poem, but then many of his poems are great. I love his simple diction and great substance.

(2) That kind of sacrifice was probably required for all the recognition you got as a renowned Danseuse in Classical Mohiniattam form. You have truly lived by these words 'I took the one less traveled by.... And that has made all the difference'. Thanks, Geeta ji. This insightful poem is also a great tribute to Robert Frost.

(1) ....That the profession of a classical dancer Is not at all, an easy path strewn with roses. Rightly said. You too have chosen a less traveled road which has brought to you the highest level of satisfaction in life, though, it might have raked in lesser amount of material gains.

Part 2 And we know, as Frost suggests, what the road taken was the obvious choice for these reasons, but the other road which he chose offers stiffer challenges. And Geeta, evidently, you have no regrets on choosing the difficult road? Wonderful poem. Loved it.

Hi Geeta, The road travelled is the most difficult to tread, obviously. And so, it is a difficult choice as well. Please note that Frost has named the poem “The Road Not Taken”, that is, the one he chose to avoid, the one which was more treaded, the one which was an easier choice because he could know what it offers.

CONTINUED: Till today, I haven't known that you had to confront and battle against Opposition constantly, What a greatest struggle, Dr. Geeta. I am happy that I have seen you performing in the Netherlands. Having read your impressive poem above, I have never thought it was such a problem for you to present to the outside world your phenomenal Classic dances. I can imagine how happiest you are now. My great respect for your strong personality. A Full 10 vote.

Before I came across your fantastic poem, Dr. Geeta, I thought that the culture of the Classic traditional dance in India was a must to all girls of certain upper families. Like on the isle of Java, the Traditional Javanese dance is performed the upper class only. I write this without prejudice, only based upon what I know. On the contrary becoming a filmstar is for everyone.
