Dance, for last few years, has been my best friend!! I get immense pleasure in dancing..... I have no clue if the audience (if any) thinks the same. But I dance for my self. I have no formal training and I am extremely shy, when it comes to dancing alone in front of people except when I am dancing Cha Cha Cha. So you might be shocked to know that I dance everyday. Even my roomates will probably be shocked to know this. But I do and I am glad I do. Whatever my mood is, whatever my feelings are, whatever is on my mind, reflects in my dance on that particular day. I feel heavy if I do not dance regularly. I celebrate my happiness and my achievements. I release any negativity, any anger. I express my love, my care. And all this only through dance. It feels as if some abstract thing is slowly taking away any charge, positive as well as negative, on my mind and leaves behind neutrality. Neutrality is what we look for in our life right? Neutrality is what Krishna talks about when he mentions 'Sthitpradnya' in Bhagwat Geeta. I am not neutral by nature. Infact, I have most number of charges that anyone can I have. I am extremely delighted or extremely sad, there is no intermediate. So dance is a kind of meditation for me. And surprised was I, when I learnt that 'The Art of Living' basic course does have something called dance meditation in it. Cool isn't it? I learnt a way of meditation myself.
I am sure everyone has their own unique way of becoming neutral. The catch is in finding it, understanding it and using it!!

What a reason to cry...
Have you ever had tears in your eyes just because you saw simply awesome performance? I had not just tears, it was followed by good lot of crying..... I was watching a dance performance by group of artists on marathi dance show 'Eka Peksha Ek'. The music, the lyrics, the choreography and the dance... simple yet effective. But why did it make me cry? Number of reasons.
Any good performance by any artist has always attracted me, but dancing and acting are My Love. There are hardly anythings in this world that make me more happy than after watching or doing a good enacted dance performance. I am not a publicity incharge of it, but Eka Peksha Ek has had some extraordinary performances and some extra ordinary artists, they had made me choke a number of times. So this was why I choked to begin with.
Then, the song has this typical marathi folk music and reminds me of Pune, reminds me of Ganapti 'mirawnuk', reminds me of those days filled with energy and passion. In the days of non-creativity, the nostalgia of your most creative days is very very sickening. This performance brought those fond memories and that made me cry.
One more important reason was the thought that it would be so good to watch this performance with the dear ones, back in Pune. It was then that I remembered I had this blog. So I am sharing this experience with all of you, broadening my range of 'dear ones'. I am sure you all will respond back. Waiting for the response. Never said that before but from my soul.... Jai Maharashtra. Love, Aditi.
