What is Dance for you?

3 May

What brings you happiness – a feel-good factor?

What is that thing that ignites a fire in you,

yet gives your soul that soothing and calm feeling?

For me – Its DANCE. It was my first realization of contentment, passion and happiness. I remember the joy that I got from dancing to ‘Mere Haathon Mein Nau Nau‘ (Bollywood song) when I was a little girl. There was so much to learn from Bollywood then. These days actresses take a week training and they think they can be our inspiration. (There is lot involved than just moving the body)

My passion for dance yearned for knowledge of the art and I started learning Bharatnatyam, followed by Kathak, Hip-Hop, Jive, Contemporary, Bachata and Salsa. Dance is like a sea and I have just accumulated just a few drops.

Besides the feel-good factor, there is a lot Dance offers you. It touches and benefits every aspect.

Body: Dance helps you stay fit and young forever. It lubricated joints and makes bones strong. It is the best way to burn calories and stay in shape. It strengthens muscles and teaches us the art of balance.

Mind: Dance improves our memory by making us recall steps, routines and dance patterns. This acts as a mental exercise which keeps us your mind quick and alert. Moreover it strengthens our reflexes and keeps the mind and body well-coordinated.

Skin: More than facials and beauty products, it is perspiration that cleanses the skin naturally. Dance helps you to achieve this too.

Social: Dance is recreational and has no cultural barriers. Helps you socialize and make friends.

Happy Self: Dance therapy helps people overcome stress and depressions. Dance boosts self-esteem. It makes you feel and embrace your emotions.

“Dance is the hidden language of the soul.”

What is Dance for you?

Small v/s Big

5 Apr

Does your world requires less or more space?

PA is a small purse/clutch person. She likes to keep it basic while going out – Cash, Cards, makeup for touch-ups, mobile and few other things. Though I would like to be this way too but my lifestyle or probably habits requires me to carry a big bag every single day. (Bigger the better.. LOL)

When I have to find something in my bag I end up digging into it like a treasure hunt :P and people wonder what’s in my bag… if you are thinking the same then this is the day I’m revealing the secret :D

My bag is a super-hero and you will find:

  1. Wallet (Cash, cards, IDs)
  2. Book
  3. Notepad and pink-color pen or pencil (Yes I still use them, I’m little old-fashioned here)
  4. iPod
  5. Pair of Sunglasses
  6. Keys
  7. Mobile phone
  8. Visiting card holder
  9. Hair-brush and accessories
  10. Moisturizer (small)
  11. Pack of face-tissues (small)
  12. Water bottle (medium-size)
  13. Small packet of cookies/wafers (Quick bite)
  14. Earrings, bracelets and necklaces (Laying here and there)
  15. Stroll/Jacket
  16. Pain-killers, tablets for upset stomach (for emergency)
  17. Sanitary pad
  18. Mini make-up pouch (Depending on my mood I sometimes go sans makeup and then apply it when in mood or when I have to attend an event/party)
  19. Extra pair of clothes – sometimes (To dress-up for a party)
  20. Pair of heels (Prefer running around the city in flat shoes and then switching on to heels for Salsa classes or socializing)
  21. Few other things that still exist but can’t remember :P

Crazy… isn’t it? But I make it a point to buy a well-compartmentalized bag so that I can find things easily.

Are you a small purse or big bag person?

Do you also have so many things in your bag?

What’s Wrong With Mr.Right?

2 Apr

Bollywood actor Riteish Deshmukh is certainly Mr Right for actress Genelia Deshmukh and we all know it. But could it be possible that Mr Right has imperfections? We could not possibly answer that for you, however debut author and journalist Shakti Salgaokar attempts to do so with her debut novel, Imperfect Mr Right.

Imperfect Mr Right is about Rahul Rajgopalan, perfume salesman, who gets the opportunity of his lifetime: a chance to star in a reality show wherein he ‘plays’ the role of a multi-millionaire Rajsingh Jaiswal. For this Rajgopalan gets to be ‘pretty woman’: a fairy tale encounter with wealth and fortune, where he gets to savour the high life of a socialite, as well as walk the talk. Will it last?

Wooing Rajsingh are scores of beautiful young girls who really are in search of the perfect Mr Right. One of them is Tanya Kher, an ambitious media planner, who’s in the show for lark and who is not only on a work sabbatical, but who desperately needs to introspect, what is she heading for in life. Steering this and much more is the calculating head of a television network who knows exactly what he is doing and doesn’t care whose toes he steps on, as long as he gets his numbers.

What’s right in all the wrong? Well that’s something for me to know and you to find out :P
