As the title suggests i decided to go in a nice sime salwar suit becos i wanted to dance a lot..being from south india the only garbas i have been are here in US...:) this is probably the 4th garba iam attending and for the last three i have never even considered the option of wearing a saree...even though i would love to flaunt it..(Aria i do that all the time in front of my mirror:D..my roomie says that iam still not out of that kintergarden phase..)..N was the one who started this idea and finally N and S dressed up in saree ..they looked very pretty too :)
But the actual garba was a real bummer..becos we were all so engrossed in getting dressed..we were very late and we missed the Garba raas..made it just in time for dandiya lessons..since i had been to 3 Garbas before this it was no problem for me to master it and actually N and S danced pretty well too without their saree falling apart..iam so gonna go in saree for next garba..anyways back to the anticlimatic evening the beat for dandiya was so slow that i almost fell asleep..at one point i expected the next dandiya song to be "waqt ne kiya kya haseen sitam.."..lol
but it was fun with N, S and ofcourse Mr.A was there :)
i danced a lot with uncles and aunties this time actually something that i have never done in the last three and it was fun..other than one uncle repeatedly hitting my fingers with the dandiya stick every single time i got to dance with him.....:D
but all in all i missed the fun i had in last 3 garbas where i would dance with abandon ..iam usually so tired and hungry at the end of it that we all go out eat something at like 1 am and then sleep for like 12 hours after that :)...the garba event got over at 11 with aarti and here also i was surprised when instead of " jai jagadish hare.." they started some other song..everyone was so quite during aarti as no one knew how to sing that song....
i dont know why i felt so cheated yesterday....hopefully next garba can recreate the magic of first garba for me ..
cheers

Garba sans saree is like chai bina shakkar ;)
