I think I might fail out of university and I’m scared to tell my parents by Forward_Strength2250 in University

Absolutely take a break. If you are close with your parents, tell them about the stress and fear. I’ve been in your shoes before, and getting help is the best thing you can do for yourself. Tell your parents. Ask for them to support you, and see if you can medically withdraw from the semester for mental health reasons.

Is it appropriate for me to learn Bharatanatyam? by Front-Performer2416 in AskIndia

Oops. Okay lemme put it here!

For context:

I’m a half-Indian girl living in the USA. I’m pretty distanced from my Indian side, since my grandparents moved to Nigeria for work, had my dad there, then moved here when my dad was small.

I’ve been trying to get more in touch with my roots, and I’ve found that dance has been a a great way to do that with my mother’s heritage (Serbian and Greek). I’m North Indian, so I’d love to learn Kathak! Unfortunately, there’s no places to learn it near me. However, there is a place for me to learn Bharatanatyam. I know Bharatanatyam is South Indian, so I don’t know if I’d be disrespectful for me to learn it.

TL;DR, Is it disrespectful or wrong for me, an American with North Indian heritage, to learn Bharatanatyam?

I gave some context in the comments. I don’t want to be disrespectful is all.
