Another side of me...

Sorry guys.........I'm not back with an outfit post, as promised.............but what I'm back with is a completely different avatar of yours truly.............and I hope you won't be much disappointed!
(For those who'll still be disappointed at the lack of an outfit post........well, better luck next time!)


As you can see from the ever-diminishing frequency of my posts, I've been really really busy for the past 2 weeks (what's new, you say?)...........work, family, a bit of socialising & rehearsals.........phew! Where is the time for anything else???

Yes...yes...............before you guys start thinking of a hundred different things that I can rehearse about.........let me tell you that, for the past 10 days, I've been preparing like crazy for a classical dance performance that I gave a couple of days back!!
I'd started learning Odissi (that's a classical dance form of India) since I was 3 years old (yes, almost since I've learned to walk........I've learnt to dance too!)...........& have been a regular dancer till about the age of 15, after which, studies, career & other activities slowly compelled my passion for dancing to take a back seat.....
In all those years of dance training, I've performed in almost all the stages & auditoriums of my city & in other cities too! But eventually, as other more important aspects of life came on the fore-front, my performances got limited to short appearances here & there (read: whenever I had enough time to rehearse)..........but the affinity towards the stage made me want to go back there time & again!

So, when, some time back, my dance teacher (with whom I'm still in close contact & who still has enough faith in my dancing abilities) asked me to put in a performance at the Annual Function of his dance school, I just couldn't refuse............and hours of practice & several days of nursing painful muscles later, I took to the stage again............in all the splendour of a passionate dancer!!! :)

Glimpses of the performance.............

A tired & exhausted me after the performance..............phew! But happy & satisfied, nevertheless..... :)

The rush of adrenaline & the excitement once am under the spotlight is unparalleled.................I'd never give up dancing for the sheer joy of letting go once am up there..........& for those few minutes, I feel as if I'm on top of the world! I feel like dancing with joy!!! (You think am insane? Well.......I guess I am, maybe, just a li'l bit...)

Hope I didn't bore you guys much..........for those who are not interested in dance (though if you are here for fashion, which is an art form just like dance is........there's no reason why you shouldn't be), come back next time for an outfit post (promise.........& I promise to keep my promise this time!).........till then, have an amazing weekend everyone! Hope you all have loads planned for a fun weekend ( though I don't....but then, that's another sob story)!!! 

Ciao,

Polka Princess
