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 :)

Thank You NITIE! and Mumbai Meri Jaan!

On 11 th June 2015, NITIE’s admission office released 4 th  list of cleared students for PGDIM batch 2015-17. Boom!! I got the last seat … sheer luck I guess. That feeling was just splendid when I got a call from my friend who is studying in IIM Lucknow that Bhai! Ho gea tera. Time was 4:20 PM and I was working on my new project. After that call I started calling my closed ones. I can still feel that moment because when you’re a supply chain and operations enthusiast and you get admission to best B-school in that domain then nothing else can explain your happiness. NITIE is best among all B-schools let it be IIM A, B, C or any else when it comes to supply chain and operations. Big question, Why MBA?  was answered and that too in style. Oh my God! How would that be to go to classes again, meeting new people, living in Mumbai, doing new assignments, late night chats, parties and lot of college fun.  I called my boss personally and told him everything. He was glad yet befud

When I realized what I was doing!.....

You start adoring someone, it could be your first day in college, office or anywhere else in this diminutive world. There is a very fine line between loving or adoring someone. Generally, we draw a conclusion that if we love him/her unconditionally then he/she should also understand that. How could someone be so egotistic that he/she is only thinking about him/herself and not about the other person? At one point of time in my life, I went through the same phase. I started liking one girl who was certainly not very much interested in me, but I expressed my selfishness to literally force her to say yes to me. Now there are many cases to explain this, one could be the case that she was my good friend so she thought to give it a chance at least. Second could be that she was going through a difficult time with her boyfriend and she needed someone who could take care of her, not for the time pass but to really make her feel good. I guess I took advantage of that to let her say yes. Rea
