" There are Indian classical and modern dancers. Then there is Susmita Bhatacharya.
I have had the privilege of watching Susmita perform and knew at once I was in the presence of a rare prodigy. Her lyrical, expressive interpretations of music ranging from ancient ragas to latest hit melodies convey an artist in supreme command of her craft.
Watching Susmita keep perfect rhythm to the music while weaving mystical, magical tales of love and longing made me think: This was what Michelangelo must have been to sculpture, Picasso to painting.
Susmita Bhatacharya is that rare artist whose gift to viewers will remain timeless. What a privilege it has been for me to know this gentle soul whose genius is matched only be her generosity of spirit. Susmita has enriched the lives of everyone who have seen her perform.
As a devoted and dedicated fan, I only hope she will pass on her gift to a select few so that those who come after us will continue to enjoy the legacy of this rare artist. "
