Dance Pe Life Bana Le!!!!!!!!

Is it me or was it just everyone who had there feets shaking when they saw Dance India Dance. Well I don’t know about all of you but it did boost up my moral to become a choreographer. For me dance has been like a soul for a body. I don’t know what happens to me when I hear a song slow, fast, rocking I just start grooving no matter what. I don’t know how my passion for this thing started but as far I remember I have always been ready to dance whenever I got the chance during school I used to take part in all my annual functions. And the funny part is that ever since those days till now I have always started practicing standing at the last and ended up performing in the front.

I remember once there was a cultural week in my school and I had given my name in all the competitions from singing, dancing to fashion show. It was going to start on Monday and I was eagerly waiting for this week as I was sure that I am going to win a lot of prizes. But as fate would have it I had an accident and got stitches under my left knee. I was not allowed to move from bed for next many days to come as each day of my cultural week passed I cried I never felt sad about something such as this even with stitches I was pleading my mom to let me go and dance. But that is when I realized that I had lost a huge opportunity and by the time I got fit I had become fat and I couldn’t move as I used to. After that I hardly took part in any of our annual functions but I was still the king of the dance floor during SOI functions( people from army background know about it it is service officers institute). When ever I used to be on the dance floor everyone just wanted to dance with me. I remember once my friends got jealous of me for during one of the New Year’s bash I was the sole guy dancing in between girls. God I know how I saved my neck that day.

I never gave a full stage performance after 12th or should I say never got a chance. But when I joined SIMS it just came to me as if this is what I was waiting for I remember it was the day of auditions and I had given my name for being a part of the Vibes team the dance team of my college I still remember that feeling I remember one of our seniors Deepali Jamwal was playing the song “Soni De Nakhre” that day my feet’s just started bouncing on the song. When I was going towards the stage to perform one of the seniors sitting in the front row said to her friend “AAJ TO STAGE TOOTEGA”. I felt bad but still performed and got through the first round. The second round was a pair dance and when the dance started god the hooting and cheering of my batch mates I felt as I am getting the long last desire of mine. After the performance a senior of our Vibes team called me and said “your dance is good if you reduce a little weight you will be much better. Some of the steps you do are not that easy for many of the people to do.” And these words were spoken by none other than my best friend now AATISH DHANVIJAY. I cleared through the auditions and became a part of VIBES. We won competitions with the help of the most beautiful girl and the best choreographer who is now my idol and my closest friend DEEPALI JAMWAL. I joined shiamak after that to take my first step towards taking choreography as my profession. God I still remember when I finished my performance on the stage at shiamak one of the instructors came and told me” Deepaish your dance is damn good I would love to see you in the elementary batch. Just keep doing the good work and I bet one day you will be one of us.” God I just can’t forget these words.

Its my dream now and my goal to be a choreographer and open up a dance institute with the help of my closest friend Deepali and of course my star Aatish Dhanvijay. I just pray to god that he gives me the strength to reach my goal.

Is It Love Or Plain Feelings??

LOVE – a big word now a days which now has so many different meanings and definitions that I don’t know if the real meaning actually exists or not. Love Is spreading like a virus now a days where people who just met 2 days back suddenly find that they are in love. And than if you ask them how many times you have had relationships they will start telling you from the days of the school how they have been falling in love with changing boyfriends or girlfriends( as they say) every year or so.

GIRLFRIEND – the first thing when a guy says this word the meaning a girl, whom he is in love with I mean please tell me what do you call a girl who is a good friend of yours “LADYFRIEND”. And the same goes in case of guys. I mean everything today is never considered normal it is always given big names as crushes and infatuations and if not more falling for each other.

You go out with a friend (Girl in case of guys and vice-versa) of yours outside and the first thing that crosses a person’s mind is that maybe the girl is the one whom he loves. I mean don’t we love a friend just as a friend. Many people have a mindset that if a guy is going out of his way to help or do something that means the guy has his eyes on that girl. For god sake cant there be love between two friends for I believe there are things what a friend can do for you not even your lover can do it for you. You love your parents your sister do you have different definitions for that kind of love. When will people understand that the love is just the same for everyone the difference comes in the feelings we have for them. You feel differently for your parents than you feel for your lover. You feel differently for a friend than you feel for your sisters or brothers. The love is always the same. Love has no caste, no religion and above all it has no limits. You cannot quantify as to how much you love your parents, your brother or sister, your lover or your friends.

Today two people say that they are in deep love with each other. Well I may not be that experienced in love but I at least know that when you are in love with someone the first thing you will do is accept the person as he or she is. Second you would do anything humanly possible to keep that person happy. I mean how a person can afford to watch tears in the eyes of a person with whom you are deeply in love with. How can you get angry at the person you love ? how can you take the other person for granted. At least I believe that the person you love at least takes a priority above your own self if not your family. I mean if I had fallen in love with someone I would do anything to keep the smile on her face, go out of my way give her as much time as I could , skip my gym if I had too, throw away my sleep. I mean I have seen people saying that they will relax and then go and meet the person they love well I don’t know doesn’t just seeing that person in front of your eyes give you the relaxation of your life.

I have seen couple fighting each other saying that the other has gone irritating. If it’s a boy he will say she keeps on calling every two minutes and wont stop talking. I mean I would have loved to hear the voice of the person I love no matter how much she called. If it’s a girl she would say he just doesn’t have time for me he doesn’t do things the other person does for his girlfriend i say if you knew that why does one fall in love in the first place for I believe in love you accept the person as he or she is and you never try to change him because you always liked the person you fell in love with than why do you want that person to change now.

I have two of my friends whom I love and care the most in this world and yes I don’t have any problems in saying that they both are girls. And I can bet that I do love them even more than their so called boyfriends. But no, love between two different friends is always termed as lovers why cant they be friends like I told before it’s the feeling that differs one of them is the most closest friend of mine and will always be whether someone likes it or not and I don’t give a damn if someone has problems with me calling her with sweet names like “ANGEL” or “SHONA”. It’s a person’s viewpoint how he or she perceives it and if that friend of mine has any problems with it I have given her that much right that she can say it on my face I don’t want to know from any other friend what she likes being called or not. But if a friend can’t understand that the other person has a different feeling for someone I don’t think any relationship can exist because the first and most important thing in any relationship whether of lovers, friends, family or any it’s TRUST. And if you cant even trust the other person you never ever had a relationship. And then one should listen to what your heart says In this matter because you heart will always tell you the truth and not other people if you know your relationship with your friend is pure you will never ever listen to any other person’s comments as to how you should treat your friend.

I have no problems in saying that I have always loved my family, friends the same way but yes with different feelings. I hope people or at least the young generation understands this and changes as what has been the orthodox mindset of many people.

My three Musketeers

I am writing this blog just 15 minutes before my birthday. Today when I know I should be celebrating the occasion and preparing for it I just can stop my last year’s memories of my birthday flashing in front of my eyes. Last year was the first time I celebrated my birthday two times in a year and what a memorable time it was. It was the first time that I was going to celebrate my birthday away from home with my friends I missed my parents that day but my friends my three musketeers never allowed me to feel sorry for that. I remember it was 9th of may when my first birthday was celebrated ahh what a surprise it was. Dj was leaving pune and as usual me, atu and jayu were there to see her off at the station but we had time for her train was at 2am at night so we went to Level 9 to have dinner but than in between we stopped in front of bd where bhagya mam joined us. I asked asked dj if I sjould come with her she said no and took atu with her and came back with a large packet. I made out it was a cake but was puzzled as to for whom was it all for than I thought it must be for bhagya mam for that could only be the possible explanation I could think off for her too being there. But than when we reached level 9 I was asked to bring in the food whereas everyone stayed back and than when I came back there was a surprise for me and there was dj holding a card and a gift and all 5 of us celebrated my birthday. That was one of the most beautiful birthday I had guys and that place has become very special for me. Whenever I used to miss you guys I used to go there and sit and all those memories would come back.
Than it was my second birthday or should I say the real day of my birthday and what a day it was I remember atu came back from his course and asked me to get water for him. When I came back he said he was too sleepy and was going to sleep and it was just 5 minutes to 12. I thought he has forgotten my birthday anyways he was tired so I felt it was better to let him sleep. As it struck 12 he asked me to give him one of my pillows as he was not comfortable sleeping I gave him the top pillow and than went of to work on my lappy than again he said that he wanted the other one and this time I found a box of chocolates under my pillow at this he wished me and so did dj but no it was not over here after some time he said he was feeling hungry so I said we have this box of chocolates and he can have it with me but no he said he wanted something that’s lying on the table under the books I searched for it and found a box of my favourite chocolate pasteries there. We had pasteries as my birthday cake but it was wonderful.
And if you guys think that it was all over here no in the morning when I woke up he was gone for his kriya and I started dressing up for my office I picked up my bag and reached office when I opened my bag I saw another gift in it this time a swiss knife for he knew I loved gadgets a lot. And than I kept waiting for him to come back from his course he came late but took me out for dinner at symphony.
That’s how I celebrated my birthday isn’t it a memorable one. Atu stayed for the whole of my internship’s tenure with me so that I should not be alone, helped me with my work and than we used to go for late night’s tea. God I can never thank any of my friends for how much they have done for me.
I have to thank dj for giving me such awesome friends for it was because of her that I met atu and than because of atu that I met jayesh. Once someone told me that sometimes one of my friend treats me really bad and if she would have been at my place she would have never spoken to that friend again but I say small disputes, misunderstandings, illtreatment anything done by any of my three friends cannot wash out the memories given by them to me. Even though anyone say I have got 5 and not 6 best friends I would still say I have got all 6 of them and will always have them. I am proud of you guys and I am missing you a lot today wish you all could be with me!!!!!!!!!!

MBA life!!!!!

I remember the day when I came to SIMS 16th july my dad had come to drop me off. I met my new roommates and guess what none of them were my age I was the youngest of all. And than the very first night the tiles in our room cracked as if the room is falling apart and than the orientation introductions I so used to hate them but now I know the orientation time was really good. My life in completing an mba has been like a up and down graph where sometimes I went through the most wonderful phases of life and than came the worst I could ever expect. But all in all a good experience and a way to learn a lot. When I came I thought I would meet some old friends from school here and we will have a good time but there was nothing as such but I met a new family of friends in my 1st semester class 1b and I began to enjoy it but than again it broke off and we were divided into our specializations after that it was never the same I became alone but then our dance competition started and than I met two people who are now my best friends. They came and than it seemed that my life is back on track. They changed my life or should I say gave me life. But than they went away and I was alone again and now was the time of 3rd semester this was the worst phase of my life I could ever get in. There comes problems in everybody’s life I know but this time I was loosing it all till god send again a savior for me in a friend again. Her name is Swati. She took me out of it and gave me the lost strength. I still say everyone should have a friend like her. My whole mba have been a learning experience for me not only in studies but morally too. I learnt how your friends can also become your strength sometimes. I learnt that sometimes one has to face his problems himself as they are created by him only. My friends made me learn to believe in myself, in my abilities. I learnt that good and bad phases are a part of life you just have to wait patiently and let them pass for there is always light after dark clouds that’s what one of my friends used to say.

I used to think that my time at SIMS has been the worst but now I feel that it has shown me what real life is. It gave me a lot of things like confidence, courage, a platform for my interests like dancing, some of the most wonderful golden moments of my life and of course some of the best friends whom I can never forget ever in my life for they are the ones who gave life to Deepaish not once but twice. I just thank all of them with this blog for being there for me when I needed them.

Recession Hits!!!!!!!!!!

I remember it was just after my summers when I went home. My father asked me what are the next steps now I told him that in my fourth sem we all will be getting placed I told him that the average salary had been 6.5 last year for our seniors and I atl least come in the average students of symbi so I should be able to get atleast 6 lakhs easily and even if I don’t push myself too much i might get at least a package of 4.5 easily. God I really curse myself why did I ever said those things why did I see dreams like buying a digi cam for my father and an LCD for my mother giving gifts to my best friends. Nothing is going to come true at least not In this scenario. Companies not doing recruitments, placements not happening nothing going on people fighting for even packages as low as 2.5 lacs. I mean I don’t say its impossible to survive with such a package but in a city like Bombay I still doubt it. And than what you get is sales for god sake if not a good package at least give a good profile. But no nothing at all people have reached their desperate levels where they are going for anything and everything they are getting. People who had egos about their so called work- ex are all now working at the same platform competing with the freshers. Well its not their fault its just this period which everyone is going through. You call your friends who are working and they say we are saving our necks, our pays have been cut. We didn’t get any rise, etc.. what to say this recession is taking a toll on everyone.

Dreams, ambitions, interests doesn’t matter now it’s a fight for survival now and the one who sustain through is a clear winner. May be it’s a test that god is taking well sometimes I say why does it always happen when I am there but no everyone is going through the same phase except that some have been a little lucky but all in all everyone can just hope that everything will come back on track some day. What we can do is to wait and watch and survive till than!!!!!!!

sing song sang!!!!!!!!

Love mera hit hit hit!!!!!! Marjaani marjaani marjaani……….. these are the only words I could make out of these songs god meaningless songs with no sense at all but they still hit top of the charts I was listening to the top 20 songs on the radio. And found these two songs to be at the top of the list god how can anyone write such songs. Listening to all the songs now a days have made me conclude that there are 3 types of song writers now a days. One who think from their brains and put in their best to make things as interesting as possible fro example listen to songs from “A Wednesday” and songs like “dance pe chance maar le” which make you groove on them.
Second are the one who think from a foot below their heart god I love these guys how they can put in exactly the same feelings you have in words and make them sing sometimes I feel that they have stolen my feelings and put them into words . Beautiful songs which make your insides jump out whenever you listen to them like some of them would be tugh main rab dikhta hai, o jaana and soniyo from raaz, khudaya khar from billu barber. God you just start getting the chills when you hear these songs. But you as I say you will have to at least fall in love once to enjoy them otherwise for most people it will be worthless songs.
Third are the people who think from 3 feet below and those are their knees god they just have to make songs no matter what happen they just put anything in it and boom it becomes a block buster songs sometimes I feel how come we all are so dumb that we hear wnything that’s totally mindlees but groovy and there we go dancing on them. Most of them being the fast songs which make your feet dance the second you hear them but have you ever tried to hear them patiently god you will do either of these two things either you will die laughing or you will get irritated. If you don’t believe me try concentrating and listening to the above two songs.
You will die laughing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good bye!!

Today I was sitting in my college canteen when I saw our super juniors coming in for their interviews. I was prepairing for my viva when it suddenly came to my mind that my exams are starting next month going till mid april. I just said to myself “Deepaish its just one month left now for you to spend some time with your friends but you don’t even have that now for your exams are starting” I had a sad feeling inside me for now it was all going to get over. I just felt that this is unfair to me the whole thing is now ending and I never came to know how it happened?
This is the last one month I have to spend a little time with my friends at this college I don’t know but I am feeling so helpless I just want some more time in this college now. It feels like I haven’t done anything yet and everything is going to be over soon. I still feel I have so much to do I want to spend some more time with my friends but no its all over now I waisted what ever time I had as 13 april draws near with each passing day I am feeling now as if I am going away from all the people I cared for here. This place has a lot of good and bad memories for me and I don’t know but I just don’t want to go away from it. It gave me some of the most wonderful friends and yeah some of the very close friends too whom I am going to miss now. The dance practices with our beautiful choreographer, playing CS withmy best buddy or should I say tiger, sitting under the main girls hostel, shiamak classes, chai wale bhaiya, late nights, movies,my roommates etc. these are too much for me to leave behind.
I got the pleasure to make a lot of friends here whether they were in my first sem or after I had to make new friends they all are going to part of my memories. I just wished I had some more time to tell all my friends how much they meant to me and how much I enjoyed with them. But I have to keep this in mind that everything that has a beginning has an end too. And now its going to be the end new places, new people, new environment to adapt with. I just wish I had some more time to spend it with my friends but now the clock has ticked and its over so I just want to wish all my friends good luck for their future and always be happy!!!!!!! I am gonna miss you guys!!!!
