Aristal 2012

Last and final Aristal probably.

The whole morning we were preoccupied with getting ready (okay more like lazing around, trying to do yoga and eating excessive amounts of bread HAHAHA) but that wave of sadness doesn't hit you till the real performance is over.

It's incredibly surreal.

Indian dance has been a hugeeee part of my life. From my first national day performance in JH3 till now, it has been a long journey.

I've improved, cried, gotten countless blue blacks, choreographed dances, felt like giving up, became grumpy and stressed, screamed

and had the best time of my life.

I still can remember the euphoric moment when we got Gold with Honours for SYF. The moment when the air stops breathing, the clock stops ticking

and the rush of breath that escapes before the body heaves and collapses into happy sobs

and you know everything you worked for was worth it.

The moment when you know the blotchy redness in your face is pure gold and that pictures cannot capture the feeling of wanting to slice the air with a 10 feet split. But memories can.
