14th December’2012 – Gurgaon Annual Bash
Never ever – and I repeat – never, ever I thought I will
dance in front of my 2500 colleagues. Yes, and that too on Gangnam Style. Yes,
it still takes me a while to believe that it was real, and that I did it.
It was time for the annual, year-end company bash. And as
always, the creative heads were planning a gala event.
As a part of tradition,
the company leadership does a small performance. This time, I got pulled into
the event. There was a funny script, where we had to walk the ramp – like a
fashion show ramp. When I signed up for the same, I was told I will just have
to be present – and to save my international roaming, I said yes, OK – I will
be present on the Stage. How bad can that be – one would ask ;).
And then – when I walked into the practice session, I
realized what had I really signed up for. I will have to do a cat walk; and
then dance on Gangnam. OMG – that feeling in my stomach. But what the heck – I
did decide to go for it. We practiced for a week – and then there was D-day. I
was told by my best friends at work to “chill out”, have fun, and let it loose.
D-Day – started with fun, girly talks on make-ups and
dresses. And then, the time came when we had to drive to the venue. And there –
our group was called, and the moment I stepped on the stage, I felt fine and
confident. I walked, and danced like no one is watching. And, I enjoyed fully. We were called for an
encore, and we did it again.
The program was so appreciated, and so many people
complimented me – whether they knew me or not. I felt like a Rock Star.
To wrap up the evening, I connected with my best friends,
danced to the tune of DJs, and had a total evening of fun!! A great time and
enjoying while letting go of an inhibition – thank you my friends for making me
do this :-)
Cheers!!!
