Dance Floor - DJ Party in Office...

In the first week of November, when the DJ party was announced in office, I got so exited and decided to enjoy it to the core, as this probably is going to be my last Dance Floor in this office.

The same day I jumped into action. All evenings were spent in front of the TV on Sun Music and Isai Aruvi, carefully watching the steps of various songs and practicing them. Also I downloaded a couple of songs from YouTube and kept seeing them  again and again. Around the same time, I got to know about the "Gangam Style" of PSY and enjoyed watching his funny moves & steps for this song. I immediately started liking him, as he is also more or less about my height & weight, except that we are exactly opposite in complexion. I am fair & he is not that fair (The truth is exactly the opposite and replace "not that fair" with "dark"...:-)...).

It took me sometime to get hold of his steps and at one point I was able to dance like him for the whole song. My little friends Dhanesh & Deepak also joined me in the practice sessions. They picked up some of the steps more quickly then me and I have to learn it from them. Anuska Akka's "Kathal Vanthale...(Singam)" and Ruppa Manchari's "Makayala Makayala..." steps became my favorite, as they are easy to replicate & its fun dancing like them. I also tried to learn Surya's steps, but they were too complicated, and Vijay's steps are almost un-replicable, as they were Prabu Deva's steps, which only he and Vijay can dance.

I and my friend became busy on the previous day of the event as I have deligated the task of selecting the costume for me. She suggested a shiny shirt, white pant, with lot of gold jewels, as she said that the gold jewels will gel with my complexion.

On the day when I entered the main building of our office, I could see many smiling softly within themselves on seeing my costume. It happens :-). Some of my friends and colleagues asked "Is this outfit for the dance floor...", for which I didnt give an answer, but just smiled.

It was announced that the DJ party will start at 4:00 PM onwards. At 3:30 PM, I went to the venue and found that all had been set and they have started playing the music. As I like listening to songs at a high volume, I enjoyed listening to those songs, but came back to my seat in 10 minutes. Then again I went at 4:00 PM, but no one was there. No performers, No Audience. The DJ host and his team were anxiously looking at every passer-by, but no one entered the dance floor. Due to some senti, I do not want to enter as the first person. So, I waited. Time crossed 4:10 PM, still no one entered. I started loosing my patience, and the music and the fancy lights were pulling me inside, but still I decided to wait until someone enters. The momement arrived.

Around 4:15 PM, a group of guys saw those lights, and one Guy in that group got so exited that he went it in and danced for a few seconds. Waiting for this moment, I also jumped in at the same time. I started with very little steps, just to warm up. But, Alas, the Guy and the group left immediately. I hesitated for while, but then, I decided to continue. There was no audience too. I looked at the HR, DJ and his team, they were also anxiously looking at me. Not to dis-appoint them, I finally decided to continue. With no audience and no one else on the dance floor, I went on starting with "Venaam Machaan Venaam intha ponnunga kathalu..." song. Very simple steps.

Then came my favourite Anuska Akka's "Kathal Vanthale". This time a small audiance had formed. I went on with my attempt to dance. That was a solo performance for a brief time. Then a small gang formed and the main-stream dance floor started. I too started enjoying the fun and pleasure of dancing, forgetting myself.

A short time later, a Gang of Girls, who were intially discussing and whispering from behind a pillar, seemed to have taken a final decision that rather than to see fellows like me dancing, that they themselves jump into action and then they jumped into the dance floor with such a force that we Guys were actually thrown out of the floor. But still we managed to enter again. Then, slowly many entered and it was more fun.

After that I do not remember much of what happened and I got fully into dancing. That was a divine experience. After sometime I realized that I was deep inside the crowd. Since an audience was there, and since I am shorter than average Indian Guys, I thought there is no point in just dancing like that in the crowd. Like very other job, if you want to be a good entertainer, you need to show visibility. Thinking so, I soon came out of the crowd, found a place outside and continued. But soon I forgot about that too, and focussed only on my steps and enjoyed to the core.

When I tried the famous Ruppa Manchari's steps for "Makayala Makayala...", I could hear one Guy shouting "Dei... practice pannittu aduraanga da..."(They are dancing after practicing...). On hearing this, I turned back and found a big crowd behind him. In the mean-time, I could find some capturing the moments in their mobile phone. Later when I saw those clips, it was so funny that I couldnt stop laughing... The fun went on and on and on, and when it reached its peak, the DJ evening came to an end. For me it appeared as if it has just started, and before I could dance properly, it has ended... I was sort of dis-appointed... But still I was happy that I enjoyed the event to the core as I had planned... Finally after the event got over, I went to the DJ and thanked him and his team. He thanked me in turn said "It was you who started it with a Pillaiyar Suli...". Actually, it was not me, I was the second, but I got the credits :-).

The next day was bit different for me. Whenever I went I felt as if everyone was noticing me. I was getting a strange attention, whereever I went, with many complimenting my performance(???) on the previous day. This type of constant attention was strange to me, and I was finding it tough to handle it. At that same time I was wondering how Girls were able to handle such attention for the most part of their life. The ultimate was when the HR told me "You were the performer yesterday... I really admired the way you performed...". That showed the extent to which I had jumped on the previous day... But all these faded away in the next couple of days, as it happens to any entertainer, but these memories are going to stay in my mind for a longer time...

 Edit on Dec 5, 2012:
1) The Gang of Girls were dancing in a way that resembled the Arabic hip-hop style with awesome symmetric steps, due to which I stopped for while, watched their performance ;-) & then continued.
2) I got to know later that my performance had got me a lot of fans :-)...

Thupakki

My Dearmost Vijay,

- I am entering the Audi 3 of PVR cinemas, skywalk, it is as if i am entering a shrine... after the starting credits, i was waiting to see you, but it started with a beautiful girl, making some remarks about you. from her charishma, I could immediately realize that she should be your sister... who else can be so beautiful??? (jollu... jollu... :-))... but within a couple of minutes when you appeared... she is not even comparable to you... you were so charming... I felt a big vibration inside me... I saw my God... I clapped, whistled and jumped in joy... while watching for the second time with my little friends and when I whistled, my little friend asked "I dont know how to whistle, teach me..." soon i will be teaching him and also will be teaching my very little friend too... and soon you will see three fans whistling and jumping when you appear on the screen...

- For the opening song, you were dancing wearing a baniyan, which intially made me confused that whether I am actually watching a movie, or a poombuhaar baniyan-jetty ad... but I could immeidately realize that you were wearing such an outfit, to show your well built arms... you are smart and charming however you are... at the same time, I felt very happy and glad that, like some stupids, you didnt develop six packs, otherwise I cant imagine how you would have appeared on the screen, but for sure, if the movie is remaked in hindi, with Salmaan and Asin chechi, I know how Salmaan will appear on the screen and how our Asin chechi will admire him... :-)...

- After the dance in one song when kajal prompts you to give a kiss, and when all were set and when you were about to zero-in... Alas... I admired how even at that time you remembered your duty and related that event to your duty and flew from there and jumped into action, dumping the poor Kajal there itself. Had I been in your situation, considering the gravity of the situation, I would have decided never to return to work in the near future & may be I would have put down my papers and given notice for seperation... but I cant expect that from a sincere & responsible person like you... hats off... may be I should learn this trait from you...

- Generally slow and very slow songs like the "Vennilave" gets added to my mokkai songs list... but you made it great with your beautiful dance steps... only you can dance for such songs too... and now this song also got added to be best list... and from now on, i will listen to slow songs too... Before your movie, I
watched Sundarapandian, where that fellow just walks and smiles at that mokkai herione even for good songs for which can dance very well... But, you are great... But I have concern about this in this aspect... Even when you are given a pretty heroine like Kajal, you are focussing your entire energy on dancing and not on romancing... And rarely you turn towards her... Kindly try to maintain a balance...

- Most became your fan after seeing your performance in Poove Unakkaga (or) Kathalukku Mariyathai... But I became your fan after seeing your performance(?!?!?) in Rasigan itself :-)... But, dont worry, I wont keep being your fan forever... soon I will upgrade myself and become your AC (air-conditioner)... :-)...

- As usual after the movie ended, I do not remember anyone else, except you and Kajal (for a different reason :-)...)... When you are screen, I see only you... and no one else... Not even Kajal... But, I see her when she is alone or with others... Hope you wont object... :-)...

- Now I hear your Thupakki movie songs many many times everyday, and have also started practicing the dance steps... In fact I started dancing and developed a passion for dance after seeing you only... But even after watching for more than 20 times and practicing more than 30 times, I still couldnt hold and twist the hands from left to right then from right to left in the way you do for the song "kutti puli kootam...". Seems its going to take more time than I expected...

/* this is written by pavala at www.spgr.blogspot.in */
- All through your movies, you were known for your dialogues, interleaved with punches, which at times brings out blood from our ears... Especially in the last scene when you were with the main Villain, there was a big silence and I got horrified to core that you are going to come up with a very big dialogue, with lots and lots of punches, which finally is going to change the mind of the villan, also driving out many from the theatres (who are never going to come back again for any of your movie), and finally the villan will change his mind, become a good boy & a patriot and join the Indian Army and serve the country. But there was a totally unexpected move from you... hats off again... As one of my friend said, Murugadoss would have discussed each scene with you and asked what you typically do in that scene... and based on that he would have kept the scene exactly in the opposite way... without your punches, though you missed some whistles, it was a good change, and it shows the level of maturity you have attained and everyone almost started admiring you... already many from the opposite camps are considering to enter our camp :-)...

Now coming to your dance steps...
What to say and what to leave... Excellent, though at some moments you were replicating Michael Jackson & Hrithick Roshan... But ultimately dance is about moving hands and legs and jumping and twisting and somewhere or other its going to be in sync with someone else... So nothing to worry... Surprised to see that Kajal is also equally able to dance with you... Which neither Anushka Akka or Hansika Akka could do...
Most of your steps were awesome, symetric...



Now coming to the take aways from this movie...

1. You came for a vacation, but instead of enjoying your vacation with friends & family, you still did your job and saved the country... great...but this is something that I definitely cannot do... it is going to be really tough for a person who never did any work even while at office, during office hours for the past one year... anyway I will try to learn this from you...
2. "Yuvathigal thedi avadikal kodi... Irunthum athu than sugamellam..." - I am not going to elaborate more on this :-)...
3. How smart and charming you are... If at 38  you are like this, then at 23 (what???? this is too too much da Pavala....) how I should be... I am taking this as a challenge. In 6 months, I will also look smart and charming like you...



Finally My Dear Vijay,
I never knew how I became your fan. Its like falling in love with someone. We never know why it happens... but the feeling is great... Whenever I enter the "karuvarai"(sanctum) of Lord Renga in SriRangam, as I see Renga, I first feel a shock in my body and then a whole calmness & happiness fills in my body... The cute little warming smile of Renga says that "I am with you always...". The same is the feeling I get when I see you on screen... which is what prompting me to see you again and again on the big screen... You always Rock... And I know you will keep rocking... Your fan & devotee... - Pavala...
