Lust...

It all started in school... I wanted to dance, but was not given a genuine chance. They thought that I was not meant to dance... I disliked all those people who deprived me of doing things that I desperately want to do... And I hated the fact that some times people can have power in depriving me of doing some thing... that can be one of the reasons that I will never dislike or hate my parents...

Last month there was an online internal survey in our company. The survey was related to an annual event called family day function. One of the question was some thing like this
" would you like to take part in any of the cultural program, if yes then select the program(s)"
one of them was dance. I had gone for salsa classes while doing my masters. I had gone to those classes with secondary intention of learning dance. I did select dance (with some amount of doubt) from the list and submitted my application for the survey.

I got a mail next day with subject "meeting on dance". I did not go for the meeting, I was too shy to participate after getting that mail. However one of my friend , who was one of the important person in the organizing committee of the family day function came to my desk and took me to the meeting. After the meeting I was there in the dance group along with 5 other people.

Amit, my colleague and a good friend, had also given his name but didn't turn up in the meeting. I didn't know any one well in the group. I wanted Amit to join. And he did join after some persuasion. We both had an extreme desire to dance on the stage.

Three from the group dropped out, We were finally four , that's Amit and me along with us Shital and Rupali. After we started the practice, my dance team realized how much talented I was in dancing. Amit and Rupali had no control over their laughter when they saw me dancing but Shital was totally mad at me. Shital was not just mad at my dance performance but with the way we took the whole thing very lightly. She just wanted our show to be rocking. She decided to rule our lives daily from 6PM to 8PM till the show was over, that's when she was conferred the title RING MASTER.

When we started the practice we were not getting it properly , at least I was lost. We wanted a visual feed back of our dance, for which I had an idea. It was to dance in front of a large mirror, the real idea was to dance in our office toilet space. The best part was that Amit didn't think it was a craziest idea. Amit and I were little shy to practice in the toilet until we realized it was not a permanent solution. All of a sudden I thought of buying a camcorder and I did buy it with in an hour's time of getting the idea. At that point of time I was ready to do what ever it took to make our dance better.

Now I have nothing much to write, you should watch this video
