Oh.....the woes of Dancing....

'Sen' is in deep trouble.
She has a show on the 7th.
And her knees are bloody and scraped and have turned black and blue from too much 'baghlei'. (That's a Manipuri term for going round and round on your knees...it is an integral part of the classical dance form)
Knee caps aren't helping. They hurt even more.
And though 'Sen' is possibly the worst dancer in the group...(she trips like a hundred times for each round of 'baghlei'she does...and is clumsy too...and can't go round in perfect circles as almost all the others manage to do..) she will have to put on a semblance of performance on the 7th....won't she???
So, does anybody have any tips on how to make black and blue and bloody knees heal in record time? (And while thinking please keep in mind that 'Sen' can't rest her knees completely till the 7th...she has rehearsals you see...)
'Sen' will be eternally grateful for a tip that works....and promises to feed the kind hearted soul as much chocolate fudge sundae as he/she desires....

Let's just put it this way.....

I have sore feet from walking and standing for too long ....

I have terrible, terrible, terrible mosquito bites all over my body.... even though my eyes are watering with all the mosquito repellant smoke....

And I got a terrible 'jhaar' from my dida for staying out extra late....

But I would gladly go through all these .... and more... to watch this just one more time......

p.s. Oh....and before I forget....I hereby declare that I am totally, irrevocablyand majorly in love with Puck...{or is it beacuse I liked the person who played it??....because when we went to backstage to get his autograph...(we were gushing sooo much that the cameraman kindly offered to take us backstage) it was HE (the actor's name is Ajay Kumar for those who don't know) who seemed awestruck at having to give his autograph...and kept on smiling a most embarrassed smile...as if he couldn't quite believe that this was happening}

p.p.s okay....okay....I know I am gushing....but what-to-do??... I can't help it.... I seriously AM mesmerised....and yes...I know the production was not perfect.....it had it's faults....but everything...right from the stagecraft to the lighting to the music to the acting....everything kind of came together and left me quite.....speechless....and....dazed...

my passion.....
my escape.....
my solace.....
my refuge.....

Ufffff...........at last.....term paper submitted, tests and presentations given......lull in work for at least 1 day (I hope so....)

And.....one of my friends says - "Dhush....amra insincere noi...amra shudhu phaankibaj...there is a difference between insincere and phaankibaaj you see...."

Errrr.....there is????

Aaaaarrrghhhhh....

Term papers, presentations, tests, end sems......suddenly...everything....one after the other.....nothing done, nothing prepared....
And on top of that I can't get this song "Free falling" out of my head....and I don't even know all the lyrics. Only the tune keeps on coming back and haunting me.....
Aaaaarrrghhhh.....GET OUT of my head you stupid song.........GET OUT I SAY.....

And everything said and done.......

I still believe in a 'Knight in Shining Armour'.

So there.

My very own 'Bandorer Dal'.

How many people can YOU identify???

Spring is in the air. And love is all around.
And ‘Sen’ wants someone special too.
Most of ‘Sen’s friends are starting to get into relationships.
And ‘Sen’ is feeling kind of overwhelmed at the rate in which ‘Sen’s friends are falling in love.
But ‘Sen’ can’t find any suitable ‘someone special’ anywhere around her.
‘Sen ’ is very disappointed.
And ‘Sen’ has not been allowed to go over to Benaras. Or to Bhubaneswar either. Because ‘Sen’s end sem exams are looming ahead.
So ‘Sen’ is feeling kind of sad too. Because apart from the fact that she can’t visit any of her cousins before they go off to their B-schools, ‘Sen’ has also not studied AT ALL for her examinations.
(All she seems to do in the university now-a-days is to hang out with friends and ogle at a certain silver haired professor)
‘Sen’ thinks that she should really stop writing in third person.
‘Sen’ also thinks that it is high-time for some introspection and chocolate ice cream

This will be puzzling to certain people.....
