I came I danced.......
Before telling you what this is all about, let me first tell something about me so that you can understand the story better. I'm considered as a geek by my peers. Well, not really a geek, but yeah something sort of a geek. I'm considered as someone who get pleasure in mugging away, a kind of guy who spends most of his time in home studying, a sort of person who finds himself at the top of the world when he is with books. Perhaps I am stretching my friends' accusations a little bit. I think I am considered as a geek because I get moderately good grades and don't play cricket. Not playing cricket will be one of the greatest sins among teenagers in India, or at least where I am from. Anyway, People don't expect me to dance, that's for sure. But I did.
It happened in the New Year's Eve. Due to the pleas of our seniors we got the last two hours of our class off. So we decided to celebrate it on a small scale. We bought some decorations and stuff like that, some bottles of Pepsi and Sprite and two cakes having written " Happy New Year" along with the name of our class with it. I told you, the celebration was really small scale. And it started. We have a separate block for first years. Here all the classes are on both the sides of a long corridor. All the boys in our class marched through the corridor chanting "EC EC" (Electronics and Communication- our trade). You know, we have to 'show off' our strength. After one round we returned to our class. Soon after, all other batches marched through the corridor, shouting the name of their batches too. Mechanical batch even came to our class shouting and making large sounds by beating on a tin can. It was chaos. After that we decided to play the 'dare'just for fun. That's when it began.
During the dare game, you are dared to do something stupid or embarrassing or funny. During the dare game, my name was picked confirming my worst fear.
" Are you sure, I should do the dare?" I asked. " You know, I am not really feeling up to it right now, maybe another time? " I suggested tentatively.
"No man, rules are rules, you have to do the dare. " replied one of my friends, not wanting to miss the fun.
And as you can guess, I was dared to do a dance-in front of the whole class! It was a matter of choice between my manhood and embarrassment. Either I should do the dare and save my manhood by not backing off or I should back off and save myself from embarrassment as I have never danced before in my life. After some serious thought I decided to save my manhood.
" I shall do the dare! " I declared loudly. I think the whole world stood still for one nanosecond shocked at my declaration. You might have noticed that if you are one of those people who is extra attentive to everything happening in the world. Or, you might have not.
Anyway, I still wanted to get out. So as a last resort, I made another declaration.
" I will do the dance, only if someone sing. Really! How can you expect me to dance without music?"
I thought I won. But one of my 'friends' suggested that they all would sing and all I have to do was dance. It really tightened my situation. My choices ran out. So i had to dance.
For a second, my entire life flashed before my eyes. My best embarrassing moment of my life
yet was ready to happen, a moment which I was supposed never to forget. I could feel the air around me becoming dense. Of course, I am exaggerating all of it.
And my friends began to sing a peppy number, a perfect song for making a fool out of me. I made a lame attempt to dance and tried to leave the platform. But my friends pushed me back to the arena. So there I was. And then I did it.
I danced. I don't know what made me do it, but I danced. Never think that I danced in a way that Michael (Jackson) rose from his grave to congratulate me, may he rest in peace. But I danced. I danced for 7 seconds. Then, the entire class shouted and clapped. I am not lying this time.
You may be wondering what I have did or how I danced in 7 seconds for gaining appreciation. I just danced to the music. That's all. Maybe you have figured it now how it was or how I felt if you had a similar experience.
From this small event, I learned two new things,
1. Anyone can dance. Really!
2. What appears to be an impending embarrassing moment could easily turn into a sweet experience.
Thus ended my adventure.
All is well.
