Evolution…

“Sari gama pada nisa… Are karo karo re jalsa...”A loud music started from the speakers…

Nobody is coming forward to dance, everybody shying to start the dance. Could not see that more, I went ahead and started dancing. Soon many have joined the floor and started dancing. Some shy guys are sitting in the corner and watching other guys dance. I just pulled and pushed them in to the dancing crowd. The songs went on for an hour and we keep dancing.

The party went on for two three more hours and one by one departed after the dinner.

I danced… I sang… I played… I cracked jokes… I laughed and I am tired…

-----------------------

“Hey can you move a bit aside” I requested the guy who is playing the game. I was recording the party with my camcorder. I found this is the best way to be in front of crowd and get the attention without being in the focus.

Seems it is working well. I am with my camcorder talking to everybody in the party shooting all the events and shouting to get some attention.

Well, I cannot dance or sing or talk in front of crowd. So it looked as the better way to get attention.

-----------------------

“Oh God! Make the slip with my name to disappear” I prayed the god silently. I was sitting in a corner of the party hall. There is the chit game going on, a simple game which is usually part of any party. They will pick a slip from a box randomly and read the name on the chit. The person has to come forward and choose another chit randomly from another box. This will have a fun activity and the person has to perform that.

All looks simple, but I am shivering inside me. I could not even talk from sitting in my place. My throat dries up and body shivers when a group focus is on me.

“God… fast… speed up the time finish the party fast… I have to go home and sleep”

-----------------------

“Hi what you doing here in theater” tuned my head and there is the college mate “Me, came here to watch the movie. You came here for something else?” he immediately “No, I dint mean anything else. I was just wondering how come you are here when all the class is celebrating a party?” I laughed “See boss, I really hate these parties, it is sheer waste of time (what I am doing in theater, is it not wasting time?) Just go there jump for some time, play some stupid games and come back, is that the fun? I have better ways of having fun (?)” he sighed and left.

I don’t know but I really cannot enjoy being with the groups. I like to pass my time alone reading some book or watching a movie. Some people say I am a shy guy but I don’t accept that, is spending time with oneself is shyness?
