Dance & My History With It

What is dance? What is its importance? Dancing is a method to express thoughts and emotions gracefully and artistically which is about 9000 years old. Dance has evolved over these past years and I am sure it will continue to change for the better in the upcoming years. Dancing styles and techniques vary with time, place, and subtext. Contemporary dance in India is broadly discerned into classical and western dances. There are many diverse communities and social groups with trademark dancing styles. With all that being said, I think dancing is pretty dope. I've danced for about 7-8 years. In India, there's a dream in the hearts of all parents- To see their child on the TV.

There are large areas of virgin vegetation domiciled by gangs of monkeys where I live and I live in the capital city Delhi so that might be hard to believe for some people, but it's true. My brother and I used to have our swimming training in a place called Ludlow Castle near o...

Animal Stories

D o you love animals? Do I? Well yes, everybody does. But have there been incidents in your life when the seemingly most harmless of animals become deadly beasts and have there been instances when interacting with them can bring a significant reformation in you? I know there have been in mine. I'll share some of the said incidents from my life as well as opinions. DOGS Obviously, the first one on the list has to be dogs. I think the enmity of dogs is afflicted on my whole family. My mom is also afraid of dogs, my aunt was once surrounded and bitten, my brother was chased by a puppy on a busy road when he was younger and the list goes on. Only my dad is the brave warrior who isn't fazed by dogs, I sometimes wonder that when I grow up who'll become the brave warrior in my family because I know it ain't gonna be me. But don't get me wrong I personally like dogs, they are cute, loving, man's best friend, et cetera et cetera. But the number of times that ...
