Garba & Dandiya

6 long years of wait were worth when I learnt that cultural events were being organised in the company.A wait from entertaining my SELF ."Yippe" occured 1st to the mind after which it went into hibernation only to wake up after the last dates of registration.I knew I had to rush to simply keep this 6 yrs without any further additions .I sent my nomination to hear what I knew : I am late , nevertheless , the guy was cool enough to add me in to the list of participants . So , here we go : in to the 1st step : Selected list of participants amongst the non-registered.Next step ?? Filtering ??? phew !! We practised , struggled & even dared to smile while we were here for the final practice 3rd time in a weekend .And now , it was a Sunday , 14 of us were through for Garba , a traditional dance from Gujarat , and 22 (of which few were common to Garba) were for Dandiya . Hurrray!!I was in to Garba . Tuesday , THE day arrived . We all had a very unique dressing sense , dressed up with ghaghra cholis , an attire that shone with reflections of the mirrors embedded in them . How we blushed when we wore them shone brighter !
1 ,2 , 3 -GO : The music ..We enter , the audience were seen from the corner of our eyes , then we got immersed in to the music , dancing , dipping ourselves in the harmony of each other , laughing , smiling . Music : FAST PITCH : phew , the guys behind the screen , our participant - mates ;encouraged enough , shouted well , cheered us , and brought the energy we displayed during the entire interval of a fast pitch dance. It looked beautiful !Woah! In the tiredom of dancing immensely , we laughed , we smiled at each other . I still wonder where did we do this from? Now I remember , Smile is Contagious !!Never BE WARE of it ! We could hear the audience applauding in rythm with our fast pitch . It vibrated the energy in us ! We danced & danced till the music was switched off , then we enetered the backyard . There our guys cheered us to the core that we forgot we were tired . Then came Dandiya , I wasn't a part of it though , but had an opportunity to watch it straight from backyard . It was all over .
Time for our recognition ..how we ran to the stage for the recognition , after such a beautiful event , hooo , we were captured , some in stand still , some moving ! I have them all , I owe Them ALL ! photos , videos , memories , feelings , & passion , I will carry them ALL! I loved my self for not having seized this opportunity .
