Rather must say misplaced Its 4 AM I am still awake the party is on at SV2 mirror pool. About 100 odd dancing but somehow I have lost the enthu and the interest , I love dancing but the last 2-3 parties the enthu to shake a leg was something I cudnt find. might be cos of complex there are so many stags who can give prabhudeva a run for his money , or may be because the movements so replicate a cockroach which has been sprayed with hit and that I hate cockroaches ;-)
Anyways thats abt the dancing shoes, The first untoward incident at ISB happened to me abt 30 min back, One guy in high "spirit" punched me in my stomach twice, wasnt sure whether to hit him back or excuse him for his "spirits". Why did he hit me , cos i wasnt dancing, and yes he did shower some expletives too. Wonder how educated, high IQ folks in some wonderful professions can get very high "spirited".

A traditional tamil brahmin upbringing gave me a decent exposure into the fields of carnatic music and bharathanatyam even when i was a kid who hadnt learnt cricket. But in spite of such a prolonged exposure , i have never come to like dance even though its such a beautiful art form.
Lets broadly classify dance as the amorous or related(fun and merry) and the non-amorous(divine) ones. Salsa, Jazz and the other forms perhaps because of their amorous nature seem to involve the audience and take them to a different level . But in case of a classical non-amorous dance form the audience needs to be at a very different plane to get involved.
May be its just me , but whenever i have gone to an arangetram it looks obvious to me that but for a few dance lovers the rest of the audience only enjoys the music. Music on the other hand somehow seems to involve the audience and doesnt require them to be on an elevated plane.
what say ?
cheers,
