## About My Journey: Behind the Scenes & Personal Stories

Many people ask how my puppets manage to exist alongside my family in real life. Whether it is Kokila Ajji giving me unsolicited parenting advice or Dinku trying to supervise my day, my puppets are constant, lively companions. It is never just a solo act; these characters have helped me navigate everything from pregnancy cravings to my recent move from Bengaluru to the USA.

My journey as a ventriloquist has been anything but ordinary. It started with a love for dolls, but it grew into a full-time career that allows me to bridge the gap between English and Kannada comedy. When I am not on stage performing for corporate events or school fests, you will find me in deep conversation with my crew. Dinku, Kokila Ajji, and Tata are not just props, they are the ones who help me process life events. 

### The Puppets Behind the Performance

- **Kokila Ajji:** The sassy grandmother who never misses a chance to correct my parenting.
- **Dinku:** The witty boy who is the most tech-savvy member of our group.
- **Tata:** The goofy grandfather who brings the classic charm to every show.

Moving from Namma Bengaluru to the United States has been a massive shift, but my puppet family made it easier. We treat every show as an opportunity to share a bit of our culture, whether we are performing in person or virtually. I have been blessed to share my art on platforms like 'Gichhi Gili Gili', but the most special moments remain the ones where I connect with families. If you are looking for an interactive puppet performance that keeps things clean, funny, and deeply personal, I would love to connect.
