Dance pe Chance marle....

Last week was on hectic thing... i just came out of my hospital stay to know there was a dance competition organized at my Dance institute..Apart from  the various Lectures and training sessions i had imposed on myself, i had quite many presentations to make at the work front.. but this competition thingy got me going... i started dancing again much against everyone's wish... but wat u are good at and wat u love is never gonna kill u.. rite??

a few days into the practice, i realized i had no partner... my partner JD had left the class as soon as i had in the month of Dec... a couple of others had taken drop too.. just as i was starting to feel left out, Tarun cast me as d Emcee and tried lifting my spirits... yet i continued practicing with my troupe...

11th was d date and we hadnt finished the choreography till the morning of the competition date.. but slowly the concept evolved and was practiced well. i was at work and had to keep track of the situations thru phone... the program was scheduled for 5 o clock and i was still stuck at office till 4 pm... D rat literally scurried over to the Institute and plonked on the chair at around 5 30 pm.. d Program went fine with me messing up the names of the participants and trying to talk in Hindi.. mind u!! i faltered only a bit... but i am extremely sorry about the gender changes my fellow students had to go thru.. Hindi is one tricky language baba...

all well and we emerged victorious... Come on yaar!!! we were destined to win... a DJ party that followed was equally awesome..

Thats our batch with d Trophy..

But do u know why i am blah-blahing abt this event.. not because my batch won.. not because i presented in Hindi... but because of the change the batch had undergone...

Wen i joined the institute roughly some 4 months back, i realised the students hardly talked to each other.. most of them didnt even know each others name.. with me in the class how can this happen?.. so i promptly shouted one day that i wont dance if i am  not introduced to everyone... most of them were atleast 5-6 years younger than me but were shy enuf... eventually i tried to break ice with everyone and there was some smiles and hi-hellos btw the students... but still there was grouping and not much unity btw the whole batch... 
And u know wat is the situation now.. we had our first group outing yday and everyone piped into the get-together.. not one had "i have to go home", "MY father will be waiting" excuse...

Somewr during the practice sessions and d fights for approving a dance step everyone had united into a team... Now they look as a whole Team not as Rat, P and Y or the guys and girls team..

this is wat i call unity in diversity... & I'm loving it....
