Sunday night ends with a slight drizzle.

Yes, it is back to rainy days, after a long time.
It is good that it didn’t rain on Friday evening, as it would have spoiled the garba evening.
Yup! I went for a garba/dandiya raas after a long long time.
The last time I went for it was when, I hadn’t sprouted a single moustache hair.
And at that time it was local event. While this one, sponsored by our cool boss, was a large scale event.
I had mentioned in my previous post that I would not be going for the raas, but since the plan was postponed to Friday evening I had no problem.
As I said earlier, the garba raas organized by Sankalp group is a very popular event in Mumbai. Held at Goregaon Sports Complex, it is hosted by a host of Gujrati singers, which includes Falguni Pathak.
I won’t tell you the details of the place, like how many people are there, how big it is, because for that you just have to turn on your TV.
I would just say that I didn’t have any idea, what is the dance steps performed during garba. So initially it was a case of watch and learn, but as time passed on and music picked up pace, I felt more and more comfortable, and was able to match the moves of some of the more pro garba dancers. After two hours it felt more like a heavy workout.
That was Friday, for you, a garba raas, after working the whole day.
Saturday and Sunday were spent the way they usually are, nothing interesting.

P.S. I am sorry for not updating my weblog for a few days.
