Ah. The fun of sitting out with the young kids in office
unbeatable. Alos it helps that I don’t really interfere or look over them all
the time and let them be what they want to be. Otherwise having a nanny around
you is the most irritating thing that one can ever have. Of course it also
helps me in a way that I can be a boss and not be bossy. Not bother about what
people do whole day. I try not to even know what they have to do. I just sit
around them, talk to them on random things and have a good time. I teach them a
lot and they teach me a lot.
Today they were sitting and watching videos and I generally
asked them what they were watching and they showed me the videos of ABCD movie.
They first made me watch the Bezubaan video from ABCD and then Bezubaan phir se
from ABCD 2.
Here watch the first video
You must watch the video to progress further on this blog!
We then got talking about the movie and the dance moves and
how difficult it would have been to choreograph the moves. These days with the reality
shows coming up on Tv with some amazing dance moves, there are so many dance
studios mushrooming in the country. Now dancing and teaching dance is a respectable
profession. To my mind when I was
growing up I don’t think one could tell a parent that one was going to dance
for a living, unless one was a classical dancer. I am a hip hop dancer – ya sure
– now can you get your accounts paper cleared. Sure . A lot of kids just must
have grown up to dance and then bury their ambitions or passions in math books.
Today thanks to the Karan Johar movies, having a sangeet function in the
marriage is a must and in this marriage function all the near and dear come and
dance to steps. These are carefully choreographed for maximum effect. People (a
lot of people) come together for their friends or cousins wedding and spend
time practicing their moves. This gives rise to a demand for choreographers who
possibly might be able to make a decent level of income. I would surely assume
that a lot of them from far humbler backgrounds. I saw a few and I thought this
is a great thing for India. Jobs gets created in ways that we don’t imagine.
Jasmine’s maid from her old house had a daughter who loved to dance. She then
grew up watching these dance moves on TV. Now she teaches dance for a living. That’s
great. That’s a step up!
Then these guys told me to search for Dharmesh sir on
youtube. What? Just search for Dharmesh sir. What follows is one of the most
inspirational audition clips that I have ever seen. I wouldn’t want to spoil it
for you. WATCH IT NOW.
As a teacher, as a boss, to see this clip is something
extraordinary. Now when you see Dharmesh sir, do you think you have seen him
somewhere? The first video has this Dharmesh sir leading the dance in a movie.
If there is a great story of Indian media opening
up possibilities then
this is it! If there a story of triumph then this is it. I was really moved by
this video. This is Dharmesh sir teaching his wards – doing well and then
trying to do it himself! Whoah! From Baroda. Saala full emotional kar diya
