I low-key convulsed in my chair at birthday parties when “Yeh Kaali Kaali Aankhen” came on the B-Side of Baazigar cassette and no one asked me to go for it.
How this piece made me miss my own pangs for dancing. I swayed helplessly to any music that touched my heart - I danced crazy - when I was a child. However, I grew up with two brothers who were just typical boys - teasing me, laughing at me. Instead of ignoring them, I let their childhood nuisance get to me. Hitting puberty where I grew curvacious faster than my peers didnt help me with my body image. I stopped dancing and totally forgot about it till I had my own girl who loved to dance. Just like me, she stopped dancing too because one of her close friends thought she was being childish. I'm seriously considering going back to dancing, and even taking classes to boost my confidence. Thank you for bringing back my childhood memories and reminding me of yet more goals to be pursued in my life :)
Did I mention that I love to dance, asks Noirtanki
Such an engaging and relatable read! And love the sprinkling of Hindi words too. May you never run out of music ( and reasons or not) to dance.
