Characteristics of Bhangra :)


Bhangra is something I always love to watch and perform. The energy level, coordination, and team participation are something I have learnt from Bhangra. As far as characteristics are concerned, following areas can be discussed:
Health:
Bhangra needs a lot of energy and stamina. One has to jump several times during performance being a part of joining steps and formation. Thump on stage should be there when someone is doing the bhangra which one feels proud of. Moving on the whole stage, moving your legs in air half of the time, cardio level warms up (performers play Kabaddi generally to warm up), using a lot of props (very heavy most of the time) and much more make body lean & athletic. So health wise Bhangra has an excellent plan for you.
Team skills:
Bhangra needs a team of at least 8–10 people. Coordination is a core of bhangra. If one performer is not giving his/her 100% means performance would be affected. Steps and formation are just 40% of the whole act. 60% is about coordination and showing energy in front of an audience. So one can learn excellent team dynamics and become a good team player.
Hobby/Interest:
Bhangra as an interest or hobby is something to proud of. Being a traditional dance form of Punjab, you're carrying your culture & practices with you. If it's a hobby then one would be always excited to learn more. You can put this point in your CV, attain attention in public, boast in competitions, dance in marriage, teach friends and much more. This could be something interesting other than boring daily job routine.
Spirit of winning/accomplishment:
After months of practice, teams perform and get awards. It gives a satisfaction of accomplishment. Even if the team loses, it gives spirit to go ahead and give more than 100% in next performance. Sportsmanship is a big learning we get from Bhangra.
Fame:
You'll be always famous in friends if you know Bhangra. You'll be happy to buy home theatres with high base volume. You'll be a fan of Bhangra Empire at one or the other point. You'll become a fan of latest Punjabi songs and remixes. Colours and bhangra go together. Star fame feeling comes with bhangra.
Self-confidence:
When bhangra performer faces thousands of people in the auditorium, confidence gets high. I personally enhanced my confidence and skills with my performances at different levels in different competitions. Today I know I can go in front of lakhs of people and talk about anything with confidence. Even in jobs, such platform isn't available.
Bhangra offers an opportunity to make new friends and learn different cultures. These friends become lifetime jewels.
There are lot of things to discuss, but I guess above-mentioned areas are enough to start bhangra :)

I respect my identity!

"Hey! I guess, sometimes you find it hard to understand things because you wear big cloth on your head and things don't reach your mind because of that cloth ..... " she said and started laughing. She was not anyone else but a senior professor of my college with a good number of degrees and even she has written one book.  In short, she made fun of my look, my identity, my uniqueness and my faith in a set of principles I follow. I don't want to bring any religion into this conversation because for me religion is about controlling one's hatred and accepting others in their true forms. I haven't learnt religion to pray to God aloud in speakers at 4 AM in the morning so that everyone in the colony must know what I'm doing or to hurt people in the name of God. I have learnt religion to control my inner self and anger so that my actions are not driven by my perception but better by my observations. I look different, people stare at me when I ente...

Rejections are Important!

Rejections are part of every individual's life in this world. Be it from life, society, family, friends, office, colleges, business etc., they always hurt. We have a lot of examples of personalities who started with a lot of rejections but ended with awesomely successful life. These days, to cope up with a stress of any rejection is in itself a difficult exercise. Most difficult phase is for students when they face rejections from their most aspired universities all around the world. There could be a lot of reasons behind that, but individuals start to blame themselves for not writing a good statement of purpose or cover letters. But really, is it a matter of concern when we see life as a cycle of success and failures? It's not at all easy to explain your life in mere 500 to 1000 words because world and life are more than college admissions any days and this is not the end of the world. Moreover, human values have no relation with colleges and what they teach to students....

Pro-BLEMS

These days describing problems have become so easy that you can convince someone with your hard defined situations. If we talk about learning things through hardships! What will you do, when things are becoming so confused that you have no choice than blaming others for your present state. I am not getting this or that, because you all are stupid! I never have had the chance to explore things because of you! My life has become miserable because of you! I am tired of this life and I can't tolerate all this fucking shit! Blah! Blah! Blah!.... These questions are usually signs of one's problematic situation or so called life with hardships. When we read something about motivation or self help, we usually get happy about life and pretend things acting lively all-around. This is a reality in today's world where everyone is looking for reasons to smile, laugh, live and stay. Living life has become more difficult than before. We are more concerned about money than happine...
