Dance Class has been shifted to Mumbai.

Its been almost one year that I am at Jamshedpur or Jampot, as its lovingly called. The moment I came here, I started searching for a dance class so that I can continue with the only passion I have. It was a pleasant surprise when I got to know that Remo (Dance India Dance fame) has started a dance class here and one of his students teaches. I went to the place and asked for the class. I got the phone number instead. At that time it was closed. I called the person to enquire about the starting of the class. I got the info that it will take at least a couple of weeks before it starts again. Its been 52 weeks since then.
Some jhol had happened between the people. Finally I am not going to get the opportunity to learn more dance here.
I have heard that there is a Saroj Khan dance class as well. Got the number, will call tomorrow. Fingers are crossed. I so wish it exists and exists in good conditions.
Amen!

My Father - My Superhero

Image
There is no worse situation in life of a man than finding his father looking weak. The father can not be weak. He is THE hero, the first macho man that a boy comes across at the age of 3 years, when he is smart enough to look at and understand the world somewhat. He is HIM for the boy, the God whom no one can defeat. The boy finds pride when someone appreciates dad than the dad himself. Any mention of the boy resembling his dad gives strange pleasure which no one else can share. All the above mentioned feelings I have had as a child, boy and now as a man. I have cried for my dad, have taken offenses, had fights with my sisters and mom whenever they dared to disrespect him, even mildly. Not that I never fought with him. Of course I have. No father-son relationship is complete without a major disagreement or difference of opinions of both of them on next to everything, be it academics, cricket match, mom etc. Throughout my life, and earlier, my father has been a rebel, an egoist and a ma

Shyamlal - The jamadar

Shyamlal was a jamadar , a sweeper, in our Kaimganj house. Without fail, he visited our place twice – like the hour hand of the clock passing through a number twice daily. He had a long broom, quite like what Harry Potter has, except that his broom did what it was meant to do. It was like his third arm, practically attached to his body. I had rarely seen him without it and he looked odd in its absence. ‘Go, and give these sweets to Shyamlal’, my dadi told me. ‘OK’. ‘Don’t touch him’, she instructed. ‘Why not?’ I asked. ‘He is a jamadar .’ ‘So?’ ‘ Jamadars are not to be touched’, she said it in such an axiomatic way as if the sentence demanded no explanation – a first principle, an immutable truth. Except that in my child-brain, those truths were not hard-wired by then. Caution gripped me while giving the sweets to Shyamlal: Jamadars are not to be touched. ---- Shyamlal, strangely, was too good looking to be a jamadar . He wasn’t the typical poor bloke from the 80

Hero to Zero

This post is the outcome of certain analogies that I developed while I was lying in my bed after going through numerous slides on how to save the world! Just a few days back, I was quite charged up: I got the placement after lot of struggle, people (genuine people) appreciated my efforts, I was quite energetic and ready to go! I tried a few things, but after that the pressure of subjects started. Quizzes, project reports, presentations, assignments and finally end-term exams. While I was lying there, I felt like that scientist, who just discovered a new element, but when he reached his home, his wife asked, "Tarkari laye?" which of course he forgot! This is a bad feeling. As we end our college, and become part of the new workforce, the chores of the daily life should not be such as to extract the creative juices and enthusiasm out of the soul. Here I am waiting for few hours and few days to pass so that I can go home and have some fun, those useless exams awaits me in between
