In a dance, it is all about control of body movements. How good a dancer can be depends on how good he is able to control his motions. In my work, I engage in losing control more than being in control. I lose control to perform in my videos. I lose control to write pages after pages. To me, performance has been about losing control.<\/p>\n<p>But from today onwards, no more.<\/p>\n<p>I had re-defined performance as an act of control. The control of my voice, my movements and my mind. The control over each and every aspect of my work. It has been an insane quantum jump in my usual filming of 5 videos to 16 videos the last session. I intend to bring it to the next level.<\/p>\n<p>I had been working on writing <a href=\"http:\/\/www.averral.com\/blog\/category\/the-prince\/\">The Prince <\/a>to completion. I am pleased to say it is almost complete at Part 9. The preliminary drafts are available on my blog, but the final version is elaborately detailed. Researching on monarchs and watching The Crown last night has been inspired me to complete The Prince in a fantasy meets science fiction setting. I can&#8217;t wait to release my collection of poetry and short stories on Amazon soon. Stay tuned for the news.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There is one essential skill I am lacking in my life &#8211; control.
