Dancing with Techies

Rewinding back to 1980's, a 13 yr old school boy, dancing with 7 other students, his classmates, wearing veshti's (dhotis), facing some 500 odd students, family members and teachers, dancing to the tune of some Tamil folk song. The dance was going on fine, until another dancers veshti was just getting loose, and on the verge of falling down, luckily he gets a grip of the veshti, and starts dancing with one hand on the veshti and other hand making the dance moves. It was wonderful effort by him, saving the face of the dance and all the embarrassment he must have faced if he had let loose his veshti. That was the first time I set my foot to dance in a stage.

Till this day, I have not set my foot again on the stage. But its all going to change, I'm dancing with a bunch of techies, on May 27th 2004. All my team members are wonderful, energetic and enthusiastic, and are doing an wonderful job in juggling their time to meet up their deadlines at work and at the stage. Our company does quite excel in allowing the employees to take part in extra-curricular activities, and we have an excellent Arts circle that organizes these events quite successfully. Hopefully the event goes really well, and my third attempt at stage won't have to take a long break.
