BIG DAY! The day of 15th Nov was second most awaited day of the year (first one was the day when I return back to India!). Today we had Diwali celebration in TU Delft. Diwali celebration is not the reason to say this day as most awaited day, today we had a cultural program and we had six programs in the list. And, I was performing in four out of these six programs. This includes two dances, a skit, and a fashion show on Indian culture. And I was excited because first time in my life, I was going to dance on the stage, and walk on the ramp of the fashion show! This diwali fills a lot of happiness in my life because I am doing something which I always wanted to do but never had enough courage to really do it. Out of these two dances, one was on a very old Indian TV Channel Durdarshan with the lyrics "Ek Chidiya, Anek Chidiya". And the second dance was on a very well known bollywood dance song "Bumaro Bumaro" from movie "Mission Kashmir" and the song is a "Kashmiri Lok-geet". The skit was based on the recent activities on the "TUDIndian" Yahoo Group and I (BALRAM urf BALMA urf BALLU) was acting as a new master’s student who is email-addicted and doesn’t like girls at all! And finally in the fashion show, I was a gujju guy. In the entire program I changed my dress four times, so basically right after every event I was running toward the change room to get new dress-up. I am still collecting the photos and videos to share over here.
I was in these performances because people have given me a chance to perform and helped me to learn the steps. They guided me at every step to learn the steps and expressions to give a better performance. I am very thankful to Akshay for selecting me in "Ak-Anek", Vaibhay for selecting me in "Bumaro-Bumaro", Himanshu for giving me a role in "Skit" and Shilpa for accepting my request in "Fashion Show". These thanks are not a formality, but an emotional feelings coming from the bottom of my heart.
I know some people personally who were very actively involved in the preparation of this event. Akshay/Mukta had a 7 month old baby but they were guiding every single stage performance, Sachin/Supriya and Chetan/Shilpa were also intensively involve in organization and event performance, Krishna/Murthy/Deepak/Amit had put there best effort to make sure that every single detail of the event organization goes smoothly. In spite of the fact that Krishna and Murthy knew that they will not be able to attend the event, they did their best in the organization, talking to International Office, arranging venue, dates, bla bla. There were many more, and I am unable to mention every name here.
At the end of the program, we had a professional DJ! It was desi DJ with full of Hindi disco songs, and we had 2 hour full masti in DJ. It was amazing and we had a lot of fun in the entire day. Finally we were very tired and could not able to do anything after that went to home and slept.
At the end, I would like to remember the motivation force which always encouraged me to participate in the cultural program and gives the motivation for dance.
Here I have some photos to share:
Will update more videos and photos in coming blogs.
