Home Actress Rukmini Vijayakumar HD Photos and Wallpapers March 2022 Rukmini Vijayakumar Instagram - Day 16: #100daysofinnergrowth Sometimes with our fast paced lives, we forget to look at the small things of beauty that surround us, forget to watch and observe life to pause a few minutes and see what’s around us. I’m reminded of the poem by WH Davis… “What is this life full of care… we have no time to stand and stare….” This pause offers time for reflection and I’m going to steal minutes several times today, to watch traffic, listen to the sounds of life, maybe trees , sand, the shape of clouds, or just the way the books are arranged on my bookshelf. I want to take time to stand and stare today 😊 This picture is from our book “Discovering Devi” and I danced at the doorway of the Chidambaram temple as people walked by… and many people stopped to stand and stare. The coffee table book has a story in every photograph… captured beautifully by @anupjkat and @vivianambrose .

Rukmini Vijayakumar Instagram – Day 16: #100daysofinnergrowth

Sometimes with our fast paced lives, we forget to look at the small things of beauty that surround us, forget to watch and observe life to pause a few minutes and see what’s around us.

I’m reminded of the poem by WH Davis…

“What is this life full of care… we have no time to stand and stare….”

This pause offers time for reflection and I’m going to steal minutes several times today, to watch traffic, listen to the sounds of life, maybe trees , sand, the shape of clouds, or just the way the books are arranged on my bookshelf.

I want to take time to stand and stare today 😊

This picture is from our book “Discovering Devi” and I danced at the doorway of the Chidambaram temple as people walked by… and many people stopped to stand and stare.

The coffee table book has a story in every photograph… captured beautifully by @anupjkat and @vivianambrose .

Rukmini Vijayakumar Instagram – This Friday! Feb 11th
Tickets available on bookmyshow
Rangashankara, bangalore 

Abducted
(An explorative Bharatanatyam choreography)
The female body is physically weaker than the male body. It is easily dominated by virtue of inherently not possessing the same amount of strength as a man. A woman’s body is projected as an object of desire repeatedly through centuries by societies. The image of a submissive, helpless woman is repeated through history, across cultures.  It is an image that is used to sell commercial merchandise repeatedly.

A woman almost always feels a sense of helplessness in situations of physical confrontation with a man. Abduction is inspired by stories of abduction and retribution in India and around the world. The act of abducting someone itself reflects the incapacity to consider another. It is  a desire with no boundaries. Populations have begun to come to terms with degrees of abuse that exist in many forms and shapes. The representation of a physically strong woman in the modern world, in films and comics is largely attached to the physical objectification of women. Can we represent strength and power in a female body without it also carrying sexual appeal? An archetype of a powerful woman that is feared by all is represented in the Indian Goddess, Kali. Kali is embraced as a figurative female energy that holds within herself the ability to annihilate evil and rejuvenate life. This particular image has no objectification of the female body attached to it. Kali is sensual, but does not cater to the male gaze as a sexual object. She is also not ‘pure’ in the sense of being devoid of sexual energy. At which point does the abuse of power bring out the Kali in us. At which point does a woman’s desire materialise? When does she wield her power, strength and take charge of her sexuality? 

Performing with @raghuramvocals @khanjiraboy @singing.abbe 

Limited space.

Rukmini Vijayakumar Instagram – Day 17: #100daysofinnergrowth 

I spent time cooking my lunch today. I usually don’t have the time to do this myself. I have help, even though I plan the meals.

But there’s something beautiful about taking the time to make a meal by myself. It’s a reminder to slow down sometimes. 

I know I can’t do this all the time. But I’ll definitely try to do it more often.
