Dear Mausam,
Sometime back I received a call from my bro that he will not be able to accompany me to the party which we were planning to go later in the evening coz of some prior engagements and I cannot go for the party by myself. You ask me, why? Read on...
I also happened to read another blog and that's where I got inspired to write this post.
I have been an ardent dance enthusiast ever since i remember. Good music has always worked for me as any intoxicating liquor or drug. I have never known any stronger stimulant which can have a similar effect like a dose of good music.
Performing bhangra with Birdi at our rented accomodation in chandigarh in the middle of the night was an out of the world experience, all the crazy nights spent at youth festivals with friends were once in a lifetime events, dancing away to glory at various get-togethers had a charm of itz own, clubbing at Aerrizona(disc in chd) with Naina and getting compliments from complete strangers for our dancing skills was truly memorable. Dring, Sleep, Eat music.That is me.
Now the problem lies in the fact that like few other things associated with my life, my passion for dancing is also oblivious to my folks (blogging being the other one!). They come from the old school where dancing in the clubs was a taboo and still is. "Club-aan vich sirf biggrey hoye log hee jaande hai" is what they would say(ThankGod I don't drink or smoke). How will they react if they find out that dancing in a club is something i really like and look forward to, always.
The problem has been that I have stayed away from home in india itself way too long. So things which were not okay for an 18yr old 7 years ago, are still not okay for a 25 year old even today.
The other day I freaked out when my mom said that I write well. I still havnt figured out who told her that and what was she referring to! And obviously she does'nt read my blog coz otherwise she would have figured out how well some of the other bloggers write and how terrible i am at writing!
I can't ask her to be cool about things like clubbing now coz if I do that now, she might think I have changed and I want to act like the americans! Which is just not the case, I am too headstrong to change myself just coz people around me are different, and I am not in awe with the whole america thing at all.
So where does that leave me with my passion? Well, I don't have to tell everything to my folks,right? Zip It for now, as there is always a next time!
Regards,
Ajj Kaim
