time fruitfully passed

those promises meant for seven am sharp
always and truly religoulsy broken
the getting into shape
with extra mention for the fattest on the team:)
the amount of money spent by shetty getting to col
the super imagination of shamak as
he weasled his way through for coming late
poor poor dino for being the most dedicated
and waiting(sometimes for 20 mins) at my doorstep
shilps who managed odissi along with all the prop work
bakery boy makin cakes for us
ms dancer never turning up for decent practise
the no of entrance test given by puppy while dancing
... cat, xat, snap... to name a few.. kudos
the amount of weight lost by the fattest member on team!!!!
chingi screaming his lungs out
changing his mind faster than the wind
practise sessions with nobody and completely cheesed off
then everybody jumps on board and we feel we can conquer the world
the night before any show
all the reminders on phones to iron costumes
the knode rings, u pins and hair gel
me doing the hair, dipika lookin lost and shetty waiting till last
the make up and costume that untites us from outside
a last minute rush to brighten up the dull n dark people
a last minute advice to smile on stage no matter what
a last minute advice to shamak to keep inhaler on hold!
the admiratory glances
on looking so professional and poised
as we secretly brush off the dust
after triping over our own dhotis backstage
not knowing the bundle of nerves crackling inside
the walking in techinque.. with attitude,
not too little, not too much,
you dont want them to think of us as condesending
the strutting our stuff on stage
the music that always screws up....ALWAYS!
the screw ups that always happen
the blame game that always follows
the dissapointment and hurried rush to control tears
the victory and exctiment .. the not so hushed cries of joy
dino driving compared to shamak!!
the dhaba journey after every major show
the feeling of being on stage
of dancing on stage
of being asked.... " ur that team right?"
of being congratulated by friends and strangers alike
though the latter gives more pleasure
of seeing the pride and admiration
in the eyes of the people who matter the most
of knowing glory
of knowing fame
the sweet sweet success of being with the best
drishtikone rocks and rules.

here s to the bestest team in the world. cant believe its over. my foul weather friends.
i ll miss u more than u ll ever know.
