Dance baby Dance

-



I had the biggest revelation of my life last week. I was a part of a dance performance during an event at the office offsite.  I was happy and doing great till the time someone came to me and showed me the video of my performance. It was a disaster!! I don’t know why I was jumping all over the place; the theme was definitely not ‘monkey dance’. Yes, after all these years (no quoting!), I got to know that ‘I can’t dance’!!!!


Dance is one of the things which I absolutely adore.  I might have inherited this liking from my mother, coz she loves to dance. Sometimes, after a midnight party (having danced for 5 hours straight); we come home and dance coz we can’t get enough. My startling revelation on dance made me hopeless. So, I did some research on dance. The more I read about it, the more inspired I became.  I don’t think I can ever give up dancing coz it’s one of the thing that makes me happy and helps me keep going. (@Ashok Bhandari, I will be needing ur help for this!!).


So, I have decided to publish some of the key pointers on why one should dance.  Hope each one of us will find it useful.

1.       Research proves that dancing reduces stress and tension for the mind and body. Studies by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute have shown that dancing prevents heart disease in particular. (@Anish Gyawali, I hope, heart disease also includes love and heartbreak  ;) )

2.       About 80% girls and 40% guys love to dance (my statistics on dance ©). So, if you are on a dance floor, your probability of meeting a girl is 200% compared to your non-dancer friend with a probability level of 33.33%. Trust me, a guy who can dance is a big ‘turn-on’ for so many girls!!!! (@Bikash Pudasaini, you are on the right track)

3.       Dancing is a form of stress reliever. A hormone called ‘endorphin’ is secreted when dancing. It brings out positive mood in people and makes them alive and very energetic. (@Lakshmi Kannan, now I knw the secret of your energy :P)
4.    Are you a guy? Do you have a partner who loves to dance?? Do you dance bad?? Don’t worry coz whenever she is angry; all you need to do is dance. I can assure you; she will start laughing and forget the whole fiasco. {Disclaimer: Don’t dance when you are fighting for some big issue like a divorce, it might convey a wrong message that you are dancing because you gonna be free finally} (@Ramit Karmacharya, sorry!! Pls dont kill me, i dont wanna die without dancing!!)


5.       Do you know how many calories does a single bottle of Heineken contain- 148 cal. If you are stressed about the fact of your increasing drinking capacity and BMI; you need to start dancing. A 50 kilo person burns approx. 120-200 cal just by dancing for an hour (@Nikhil Sant, now you know what u need to do)  

6.       Did you know that dancers have better than average peripheral vision? Head angles are prescribed by the dance, so dancers have to use their eyes themselves if they want to look to the side, without turning their heads. Not only is this a fun fact about dance, it can be a fun and unique skill to have. Imagine you looking at your crush through your peripheral vision without him/her noticing you and you not looking like a stalker!! (@Rezma Shakya, I think we should go to downtown again....hehe)

7.       And the list goes on… so what are you waiting for…Dance baby Dance!!!

"Dance, when you're broken open. Dance, if you've torn the bandage off. Dance in the middle of the fighting. Dance in your blood. Dance when you're perfectly free.” -Rumi

True Love!

The other day, I invited some of my girlfriends for a night stay. As all young girls, all we did was talk, that too for hours. We talked about our job (which was all about a new hot girl in office and the threat that followed), life (that it sucked), food (about a new mobile app for calculating calories in foods), music and movies (who wore the worst dress at the oscars) and guys (which was about 90% of what we talked). After a few glasses of beer, we started talking about a vague topic - ‘love’. We struggled to get into a conclusion what love actually is.  After midnight, we finally agreed that ‘ love is something, the feeling of which is unexplainable and the lovers clueless '. As a 16 year old girl, love for me was a romantic flick like ‘You’ve got mail’ or ‘Preety Woman’ where two perfect individual meet, have their differences in the beginning which they sort out and eventually lead a perfect happy life. But now, I feel of having I lapse of judgment then. All these ro

When I look back at my life, there’s not a single moment that I would change. I don’t wanna jinx it by saying, but I am in love with my life.  Did I have a fairy tale story? –No. Was my life perfect?? -Indeed not. Like everyone else, I had my share of pain. I failed a number of times.  I failed to get through the medical college although my only persistent dream since childhood was to be a paediatrician (Short term dreams included marrying a Spanish Guy, being the next Jodie Foster after watching Silence of the lambs or being adopted by Bill and Melinda) To see my only dream get shattered was like being judged and told that ‘You are not good enough’.  It echoed in my ears for so long that sometimes it was hard to hear anything else.  I failed in my CA finals too (However, it’s worth mentioning that there’s a saying- If Jesus has never failed; he must try CA). I have failed in numerous assignments at work.  I have failed to meet the expectations of many people. There were times when

Life in 3D

 Life's a riddle. When we complete sorting out the troubles in life, we are struck with other new problems. On the other hand, when we lose hope and are ready to give up, life shows new opportunities and new hopes. It surely acts in a mysterious way. I happen to remember a quote from one of my favourite movies -The forrest Gump,'life's like a box of chocolates,you never know what you're gonna get', which is infact very true. May be this is what makes life worth living,worth fighting and worth surviving.        So, it's a mere waste of time if you are crying over life for not being as planned. Remember, Life has not promised to be any different than what it is now. May be its simply about living each day, each hour and each moment. So, what the hell!!  Make mistakes, laugh at it, life's not fair, accept it, fall down, rise again, face the fearful, fall in love, stand for yourself, be stupid, dance in the rain, make a fool out of yourself, cry your h
