Dance…
An ultimate form of expressions…
A treat for my heart and soul…
An ultimate bliss…
A source to release frustration and emotions…
And last but not least, a best form of exercise…
Dance is an inseparable part of me. It’s a source of enlightenment for me. It gives me the high which even a vodka or a kamakaazi shot cant ;).
I believe I am gifted with this art. Whenever I listen to any new song I choreograph it in my mind. Be it sad or pop or rock or ecstatic song… I just imagine myself and the steps, the formation and the stage. It all feels so great! Dance has always given me immense pleasure, be it in my imagination or on stage!
Start any song and my feet can’t stop tapping. :D
As a kid, my parents were very proud of this skill of mine, they still are. Mom made sure I take part in school or Ganeshotsav or other local competitions. And then she used to take special efforts on my dress and makeup for performance. She did all thats possible to encourage this art of mine and never stopped me from participating in any competition till date. I am very thankful to my mom for this :)
I remember the days in college when I was asked to dance "N" number of times during ragging and I used to do it every time with same fun, energy, enthusiasm. And how can I forget my Firodiya days, when I got biggest platform till date to perform! Those were the days! Creativity at its best, unending discussions, practice sessions. Even soar knees were left unattended in the zeal and enthusiasm. Those were the best days of my life!
I miss it all so badly! It was my dream to learn classical form of dance (Katthak or Bharatnatyam) but circumstances didn’t allow it :(.
I am sad but hopeful…
Hopeful that someday I will learn it for sure…
And someday when I won’t have to worry about money, I will leave this routine monotonous job to pursue my dream, my life, my love, my dance… Amen!
