Men with two left feet.
Eversince i went to Aussiland,I have been bitten by the "dance" bug.
On my way back i had decided I am going to join dance clasess.!!( there is a story behind it too).
I was more determined to shake my "leg" everywhere &anywhere..!! Just 2 days back i got the oppurtunity to go for Dandia with my lab mates. So six of us went for Dandia:
1) ME, 2) Vaibhav bhai. aka Sarkar 3)Dr Sahab 4) Kuldeep 5)Dilip a.k.a Shivaji 6) Sanju bhai
All filled with energy & enthused to shake their booty!!
6 IITn's gng somewhere well dressed then there is somethng definitly wrong!!
each one of has had only one wish...." to dance wid a girl" although Kuldeep had different plans he was intrested in "Aunty's":P
apart from that me & Dr shab also had a hunting job do " an ideal match for our Sarkar"
Our Sarkar has been gng through a roug patch....Recently many had come and gone in his life..Latest one being Dolly!! Not able to see Sarkars pain Dr. Shab promises Sarkar to find a match for him..& end his sorrows!!
so well reached the "Ground"....The first round of Dandia starts,in goes Sarkar,kuldeep and shivaji,,. Me, Dr Shahb & sanju all being gifted with double left feet decide to stay out and watch other ppl dance.:D .... being shy and timid ,when it comes to dancing in public it was a huge challange for me..
The only form of dance i knew was "Free Style"..had never done dandiya b4..
Standing out and carefully observing ppls
1)first the leg movement
2) Then the Hand movement
Now integrating both of them and trying to practise in my mind.(left foot fwd,then 2 step back,then jump 2 steps fwd with a clap of hand!!!) by the time i had practsd the moves umpteen number of time,I was dragged into the cricle by Sarkar. !! And there i was on" display" showing my dancing skills amongst 100 odd Michael Jackson's....& J.Lo.
I realized i wasnt dancing that bad.1st round finishes,Dr shab apllauding me..round after rounds passed..people showing all kind of complicated steps.But i was there doing slow and steady dancing with same one step. whenevr i tried to copy other ppl steps, my legs would entangle & i"ll end up losing my balance. On the other hand Kuldeep & shivaji were at their best showing all kind of moves from break dance,kabila dance to Ganpati dance!!!they were huge crowd pullers!
after some 4 rounds had completed Sarkar shouts 4m behind" Shukla ab to step change kar le yaar"!!! and the effect: I lose my enthu,confidence,head drops and i move out of the circle...:(
I joined Dr. And sanju sitting on the sideline.
and this€ line from George Michael's song comes to my mind...
.............
'm never gonna dance again
guilty feet have got no rhythm..................:)
soon the Amateur round finishes ...Sitting out me & Dr Shab were looking arnd & with our eagle eyes we were scrutnising each and every girl arnd.:D
Finally we zeroed in to a girl in blue dress!!
Next round of dandiya starts.....
Now instead of one big circle ,many small circles wer thr...
8 of us formed a circle....and were dancing like mad..!! Kuldeep and Shivaji as usual were showng all kind of steps...Kabila dance,ganapti,barat dance,Nagin dance etc etc.....
The girl in blue dress was danincg in the very next group to us....But how to initiate the coversationwid her...?
ME nd Dr shab gave each other a smile!!!Its time for action....
Dancing and circling arnd..ME nd Dr shab gave each other a smile!!!Its time for action....Dr. Shab was continously shouting" arey circle ka ghera(radius) badao".."aap log kya kar rahey hain..chaliye ghera badaiye"...And whenevr we increased the "Ghera" we collided with some person in the next group..!!!!But never wid the girl in blue dress...:(
We tried again &again,but hard luck....:(..And till the very end of 2nd and final round we did our best to have a collision once....But the bad luck of our "Sarkar" never wanted to leave us.....
Finally it was over,all tired we sat dwn and a heart chat wid each other,discussing all the crazy things we did..30 mins later its time to go bak.....
...........................................................................................................................................
Although, we didnt achieved our target, but we all had a great time dancing around like mad...
In this world full of tension and stress,not often we get to cut-loose and enjoy ourself in a free way..!!! It was a great stressbuster experience for us...
even If u go to a discotheq there are also u cannot dance in our very own 'Chillar style"....
So we all have just 2 more days to have fun in our own way...after that is the same old busy schedule..So try enjoy&use these days to the fullest and get rid of all your tensions.....
As far as our sarkar is concerned the search is on, and in case u wish to meet our sarkar contct me.!!!!!
Am sure Sarkar wud have had a gr8 time and a couple of more outings like this will help him come over "DOLLY"
