About dances and dancing styles



Another Sunday morning, tomorrow another fresh start haunting us all but this Saturday was special as the Fahrenheit 08 and the party after that gave a much needed break and refreshment after another hectic week. Its a new initiative by Deepak and Gang and I must say they are doing a great job by putting their time to great use. It was again competition at its peak where every one was cheering their sections at peak of their voices , reminded me about the good old engineering days when their was great rivalry among all inter hostel events and inter branch events. The finest of it was Ruby Cup ( Night tennis ball inter hostel Cricket tournament with running commentary ) , I still remember how people use to get emotionally involved to such an extend about their hostel teams that many a time the games use to end up in minor injuries and lots of abuse being fired. lol, but it was all fun and the moment the tournament is over people use to just forget all animosities, here it is much different , people are lot more mature and image conscious and the interaction is also of not that level due to pressures of deadlines and absence of hostel.


After the rounds of competition like Antrashari , face paintings , madd Adds etc the floor was open for the dance and we all literally waiting for it ,Dancing for 45 min gives you a feel of good work out schedule. lol , When I think of dancing , what strikes me most is the way we people dance , each of us has a particular style and some steps which we keep repeating ,it looks like a medley of dances . I think most of our dances are inspired by legendry Mr Bachhan Senior ,who use to dance in simple yet elegant steps , Even he was not great at this art ,the simplicity of his steps, popularity of his songs and charm of his persona has made us idolize his dancing style , be it boy, gal its beyond it . Than I find that lot of bhangra steps which we usually love to add even in a western number, but who cares . It the masti which matters .


Off late their are two more important steps which has been added in our dancing styles ,first is the head banging particularly to rock numbers which give you a much needed gap to regain the energies and also the flow of adrenalin to feel the beats of the drums and intensity of mettle Guitars . The second new step is attributed to admirers of 50 cents and Akon of this world , the style is truely unique and fun to act .This also again clearly suggests that how flexible and ready to learn we all are , ready to add all new good things coming our way !!

Idea of a blog..

The Purpose of writing a blog was different to me few years back when i just wanted to use my creative thinking and write on divergent topics . It was pure and precious to me and I never shared my name or url with any one as I thought it will only make sense to just float it in the cyber space with anonymity . But these days when i read people's blog on various facets of life it makes me admire the peculiarities of people's life and expression , I feel that it is actually a sense of freedom , a freedom of expression . A place where people actually can share thoughts . Some of the people are gifted with the art of storytelling and some are like me , but it still gives us a place to put our random thought where there is no one to edit it , no one to judge and people just reading it as a pass time .

The technological revolution may have changed the way of doing things but the intent is just the same , initially people use to maintain diary which they use to restrict to themselves but now with evolving world people find it better to share their peice of mind and take suggestion from others .It also speaks loud about a gradual shift in the mindset of new generation which doesn't believe in keeping things to themselves , they rather put their argument without any fear and ill will.

Technology is a great enabler , It really Is !

When the life gets tiring ..

Many a times I have seen that when we push ourself too hard in work , with loads of different divergent activities , it takes a heavy toll of your body and peace of mind , their are loads of good book teaching about mantras of time management and devotion but I found it a tough ask to juggle 4-5 things at a time , may be I'm not apt at it , which might be considered a weakness as per management sciences. It always happens to me that at the end of the day I feel that I havn't done justice with any of the activity by taking too much to handle. People call it burn out , I call it adverse selection.

When I see my college friends around me also struggling with same issues , I feel its actually a big problem now days, Sometimes i try to give myself a break by not doing anything for a day, just to enjoy reading a novel or watching a good movie but as the another day starts you are actually caught with deluge of things lined up ,Perhaps Too Much To Chew , and your life becomes like a excessively chewed gum which cant give you much flavovour but u can just keep chewing it to please yourself .

Focus might be the mantra to actually excel , when you seek confidence and satisfaction from the work you are putting your tie in . It may be tough to actually apply descretion in choosing things you actually want to do or you end up doing .But still doing one thing at a time and than moving to other might help , but for me whenever i tried it i found myself doing that thing on the last day just for the sake of completing it.

Life in management school can be tiring and boring at times when you need to put efforts and time in things you wont do even for money , but its a endless persuit which makes us do all such tasks which absorbs energy out of you and leave you dull and tired , but still I feel its lot better than once you start working as the expectations increases drastically and also you have added responsibilities of doing loads of things

We used to read in school days " Khali deemag shaitan ka ghar hai " , which means that keep yourself occupied otherwise you will think only of doing destructive activity, which I think is actually not quite the way i look at it , I think when you will give yourself some open space to breathe , some peace of mind , one can actually think cretively .

May be thier are better way of doing things which can give you satisfaction in doing diversified jobs , I still have to learn it .
