Its fun........

One Two Three  Five Six Seven.....

This is how they count it when they do it... at very first it seems very annoying and you bet it is annoying... Because it takes you away.. far away from your basics you have been following throughout your life... as a human.. but you can not ignore it ...because its a fresh new start of a whole new basics !

As a kid ,you must have gave your mom the happiest moments in her life when you took that fist little baby step. Later on she must have encouraged and taught you to take lot many of those and as a result, here you are today  walking , running and jogging on your own feet.. but now its time to learn the new basics .. If you follow new way of doing it in a graceful way, it is surely gonna give you the happiest moments of your life.  You can still do it in the baby steps to start with..

Your teacher must be the happiest teacher when you uttered those counts correctly for the first time and you must have  scored full marks when you counted them correctly till ten. 
But don't worry. Now you have to count till just eight and that to by skipping four and eight.. you deserve a rest at four and eight..that's just 6 numbers and two rests..

Its altogether a new count system now.. you need to learn it and mould yourself in that in order to master it.

If these hundred words have created an image in your mind about that something which i am talking about then its worth it!!!. but if you still don't have a clue what rubbish  i am talking about then its time for you to read the next word very carefully.. 

Salsa

Yes, the Latin American dance which has caught my attention recently. Salsa - spanish word for sauce connoting a spicy flavour. Thanks to the worst english weather we have here ... It kills the urge in you to live .. coz u are just earning more and more bucks without literally sweating ... I mean staying here has its own challenges and one of it is to cope with the bad english weather and survive it with grace.. May be that was the trigger to the expedition Salsa..whatever it was !  I thank it.

I always belive that you always need to have something in life to look forward to .. otherwise no matter how rich you are, life is not worth living!!. I am looking forward to learn Salsa .. and do it gracefully..Recently I watched the movie Shall we dance... a beautiful movie for the ones who are passionate about dance and for those too who are not so into dance. In short its  for everyone who wants to understand whats the happiness is all about..

Well its just first few lessons I have learnt till now.. hope to explore the beauty further !!

Men Do Cry

Who says men don't cry.....Men do cry.. they cry a lot.. they cry dil se..... Its a big tragedy that people around see that as a weakness of a man.. but sometimes men have to cry.. yes even publicly... When some one like our own Roger Federer cries , we understand it better.

When you begin to lose your empire and can not do anything but watch it helplessly, you have to cry. You need to accept the defeat open hearted... Some says its an end of Federer Era.. it could be.. I myself was crying(not literally though) while watching Roger lose the game...Roger fought like a true sportsperson.. after all Tennis means life to him.. If some new blood is taking his thrown from him, he had to do all he could to save it..When he first lost against Nadal, he appreciated the opponent as like any good sportsperson.. and believe me he must have practiced like hell , must have watched the match he lost 1000 times.. but alas !!!  ... all his efforts came to an end when he could not believe Nadal taking his dream away from him.. and Roger cried ..literally..... 

I googled crying and it gave me a list of famous male figures who cried publicly in history... .. typically all from western countries.... Hence I gave up the option.. I looked back in our own history... Remember the Gujarat riot face ! it was a true symbol of the pain people went through during Gujarat riots.. you wont believe the crying face belonged to a man..
I can immediately recall Nana Patekar in some movie and Om Puri in some other movie crying literally in some intense dramatic scene.. I had believed it then.. 

Generally women cry a lot.. may be that's how they keep their emotional balance everyday .. or may be they use it as a weapon to get an edge in the arguments, crying always is an ACE for them.. but somehow men are not allowed to cry.. WTF !!!

Haven't you seen a father cry when her daughter departs !
Haven't you seen a man cry when he sees his baby for the first time !
Haven't you seen a man cry when he loses his family in some riots or accidents !
Haven't you seen a man who cry when the girl, he think as his life, simply dumps him for some rich!


I don't know where all the animals cry or not.. But I certainly understand that a creature like human who is more emotional and has developed bonds with the surroundings has a right to cry..
 
Have you cried in your life?? ........
If you are a girl/woman, this question may not be worth asking.. but if you are a man and haven't cried in life then u are yet to experience a lot of life...

They say extreme grief laughs and extreme joy cries.. 

I hope you get to experience both of them.. lets not keep crying limited to any gender! ...

Lets live the life to the fullest .. Lets hope to cry !
