Habba-Dance Group
I was tempted, tempted to get on the stage and shake a leg,while liz and her group practiced. One two front left, one two front left!( I just wish!)
The choreographer, is one talented boy!He seemed to understand every dance form that was being discussed, Afro Jazz, Salsa wow! He has a put an good act together, they just need to practice a li’ll( Loads! Abhi tho, steps set kiya hai) to get it all right. While the other girl, she knew how to shake to the beats of Salsa! Liz, well! Do I have to? (Come on, she was great, Dude, she is my friend, she has to be the best! period. :))
Then, I met her other gang, a couple of guys. Nostalgia set in. Late evening practices after classes, masti karo, chedo,and then gang up and meet in the canteen for a gram cup of chai! College, nahi ?. Bus,here you not a student, a professional, lekin fun tho stays 🙂
Its been 5 long years since I stepped on a stage to perform! Today when I saw them practising, the regret set in. He must told me a million times “Jaao, why aren’t you joining?”, She did too, “Hey there is a spot open, chal aa jaa!”, and then they were some more, who kept reminding that they could still use one more person! But I didn’t budge, refusing every one politely, lying to myself that “i didn’t want to”. I wanted to! , I just think, I chickend out Why? maat pucho! I don’t know!
I mean, I was(with our famous group!) dancing even on the last day of the college.The juniors were relieved LOL, they had to bear with us, every year, there was a time,when we performed the same number at least 3 times in the same semister LOL! The college natunki group LOL, koi function ho, the prof’s didnt even have to bother, bus, aawaaz laago, and we would be performing he he he. (Miss our group!)
Renu and Koti, were usually the choregraphers,Anup was my partner for 4 years! This fact, had the Principal believe that he and I were couple LOL.
‘Hey Anup, where is girlfriend?’
‘huh?’
‘Miss chikodi, your dance partner’ Anup, he stayed away from me for the rest of the day LOL.
School,I have danced in every annual function since 1st standard!There was tribal dance, nahi tho rajasthani, gidda,haryanavi,lavani… Wow! It was easier back then,I guess.
Why didn’t I listen to them?
Ab paachtaye kya kare, jab chidiya chug gayi keht!
Chal yaar, koi nahi. I enjoying dancing, and I do it every day, just that I wont be performing on the stage!
