dance like no ones watching!!!

hi bloggy!!

one two one two..one two one two!!!...and the steps go on and on ...!!!the steps of garba! ...the dance of the most colorful festival of gujarat!..despite being in gujarat all these years i never understood what drove people crazy enough to dance nine nights tirelessly but this year i am engulfed by this magic ..!!!

wow!!!...actually its not about just going to the garba ground and dancing the steps...its about being with friends and enjoying all the dancing..learning new steps teaching new steps and just letting go of yourself...letting go of all the inhibitions in your heart and just feeling the freedom surrounding you...

being a novice at this dance form i was actually fishing for some compliments the other day from a friend of mine ..i asked her "did u see me dance last night ?"..and she replied instantaneously.."of course..we were all seeing you !..actually we could not understand teh step you were doing but when we saw the guy ahead of you and the girl behind you we were able to decipher what you were trying to do..!"

now that was bad!..but who cares ..! i dance like no ones watching and is'nt that the real essence of dancing..!!

dancing is one of the purest form of meditation too ....just like music it embraces you and takes away all your worries tensions anxieties...i just felt when you dance all you think about is doing the step right ..no thoughts from the past no worries of the future disturb you...it gives you a relaxation that can be said to be divine....leaves you exhausted yet wanting more of it!

anyways i got to go and dress up as today is the last day of this wonderful navratri!!!...

PS: cant wait for the salsa classes to begin..!!!:):)
