Like literally, every part of my body is paining, aching, hurting, and it's freakin' irritating because of the plausibility that I am in this state because of a dance workshop! It couldn't be... can it?
The 23rd was an eventful Sunday that started with a calm morning. I guess the music and the coffee was the only time I got to behave and exist as a normal sane human because after 10.30 I and Di started getting ready to go to our neighbours' place for a Satyanarayana Puja (a Hindu ritual where Lord Narayan is worshipped with flowers and chants after having heard 5 or 7 stories about the lord.) I and Di had received lunch from their place and so lunch was sorted (We had to prep food for that day but found an escape route).
After finishing my lunch, I and Di left to Jayanagar, to Dynamix Studios (Visit their webpage for more details at https://dynamixstudiosblr.business.site/ ) for a dance workshop.
Now, here's how it spiralled down to an embarrassing day.
Firstly, I told Di, not to rush it and it would be alright to be a Lil late - I reached the studios at 3.15 for a 4.30 workshop just because I forgot what time it was :(
Secondly, I danced my boredom through the time that I had because:
- A "Why the heck not?" and
- B "Maybe this would let me be a Lil more fluid during the workshop!" and to end with
- C - "Where's some good music? ah, here we go.... ooohhh. ho... cannot stop my feet! Well then, let's just have fun"
I had danced for like 40 minutes straight from 3.30 to 4.10 and then decided to stop awhile; wanted to rest a while before the workshop started
I really needed some sugar because I literally felt my energy dropping low. I started thinking and reasoning to myself, "It's part studio and part office... they'd have a pantry right ...? and pantry would have a coffee maker or something... so there would be a good chance,,, They'd have sugar?"
So with all the confidence and kindness, I requested Shubham sir, the Chief Sound Engineer for some sugar from the pantry. Apparently, there was none left and THE FUCKENING TO A GOOD DAY STARTS!
The entire team of Dynamix studios was worried about it and my low energy levels showcased itself on a spotlight. Huh. (Soo sweet from their end :) and so embarrassing from my end :*( uh)
Abhinandhan sir, who is not only the owner and founder of Dynamix Studios but also my Guitar sir from the same apartment; (who not to mention was with his parents) took care of the entire situation and made sure I got my sugar supply. Prabha aunty, Abhi's' ma, loaned me her Strepsil for a bright short moment. I also asked for a water break from Sharat sir, the choreographer; who permitted me to have my break with a smile.
Prabha aunty had suggested I take some time off from the dance, and I obediently agreed as I thought that was probably the best thing to do at the moment, but even then I couldn't stop my body moving to the beats of the song wanting to practice the entire choreography that was done so far/ I went back the second minute I missed being into the workshop and tried giving it my all - and to be honest I'd rate myself ad 6.5/10, although everyone was almost at 9 by the end of it.
Speaking of the end, 5 minutes later I come back from my 'break' the workshop got over and just as Sharat sir started speaking of DS, Prabha aunty handed me a teaspoon of Glucon-D. I washed the spoon and gave it back as instructed to me.
SHE IS THE SWEETEST, EVER! And thanks to Abhi too in making sure I got it. Thank you, =D
(Did I mention that I got my Glucon-d after the workshop ended when I asked for it even before it started?
The workshop ended with a tour of the studio (which I had done when no one was in the studio) given by Abhi; well, the explanation helps - now I get to not only admire but also know things about the place and the courses they offer (check the link pasted above!!)
Geez, I don't know what to feel about the dance workshop anymore...
I was the worst dancer there, obviously. No doubts there... a staff of DS took a video, for Instagram I suppose and I was so sure it for the 3 seconds I saw it, but the worst was when at every time I used to dance, I used to mess up the choreography after the first half and couldn't get it right or maintain my balance... :(
It was fun but I made it embarrassing? I guess, also not to forget I have had an entire Monday with body pain and it's shit - the pain was away for a short time after a bath in hot water but came back worse than morning and I am afraid to hit the bed 'coz my back already hurts!! :(I really don't know if I feel positive about making myself a clown or embarrassing myself in the workshop; on one end of my thoughts, I am kinda glad about the reasoning that ain't gonna meet anyone shortly (except for the Rao family - shucks. How do I face them? Esp considering that I have Guitar class in another 16 hours... Dunno. But I am gonna give them all my gratitude and thanks for taking care of me) and another part of me is happy to have learnt something new and explored a genre in dance I otherwise would never have pushed myself into - BollyHop - a fusion of Bollywood and Hip-Hop.
But no matter how it turned out, I'm just glad that I don't regret it a little bit, in fact, I just have a lot of gratitude. I have got a taste of DS, the team, Bolly-Hop and learnt subtly about the Studio and what Abhi does for a living - Making Music and the engineering behind it!
After the tour, I got back to my bag at 17.45 to have some water and call Di, well, she was calling me then - I spoke to her and headed straight to meet her directly at 'The Secret Spot' where she had her pizza and I had the rest of it. I also ordered coffee and a brownie for myself. We left the place by 7 and searched for her saree blouse, having not found anything for her but shopped like a holic for myself; we decided to go home and call Pati so she wouldn't be tensed.
The pizza and her set of starters kept her full. My pizza slices, coffee and brownie had kept me full, we didn't have dinner after entering home. I couldn't sleep at night till 2 btw - I spoke to Zin Sanjana Sharma, a lady who was at the workshop on Friday and had uploaded her dance video tagging Dynamix Studios on Instagram. (You can follow them on Instagram at @dynamixstudiosblr ). I later finished the 3rd season of MHA / BNHA and went to sleep
Woke up with the pain, and it persists. My entire body and my existence are slowly killing me! Ugh!!!
It's like my entire body wants to be a Timelady, and take in a bullet shot to finish the cherry on the cake and start my regeneration! Alas, I am not my liver to regenerate and stuff.
Ah well, until another crazy ride
Take care
