It was the first dance competition in College. We found out 3 hours before the competition. While I just dismissed it casually as I thought it was too late. Our super-excited, spontaneous and positive Rohini wanted to take part in this dance competition. She pulled Sania and me to my house for a 2 hour choreography session. We all put steps together and practiced for 2 long hours!! Well we did prepared not just one, but three songs and even managed to edit our audio! At that point I thought it was simply - crazy! 

By the time we reached college for the competition after our practice we realised it had just about got over and honestly I was so so relieved! I wasn't used to putting up a random performance without days of sweating it out! Little did I know that Rohini wasn't going to give up that easily. She got us to go backstage and spoke to the compere for us to do a "guest performance" as the crowd was still seated and awaiting for the results. She was so sure about it because we had "practiced for 2 whole hours!". The compere agreed and made an announcement informing the audience of the situation. She said, "...this team just got to know today and prepared for the last two hours. Even though the competition is over they want to just perform! Let's cheer for them!".

I found myself sneaking away from that auditorium. Rohini ofcourse came running after me and pulled me onto stage. The music started and we danced. All our amazing friends from class cheered for us and slowly everyone was clapping. Not because we were the best, but because of our spirit! That was the beginning of our dance journey together and we won all competitions thereafter! Soo many things I learnt that day. So many things that changed the way I lead my life, even till today. 

Can't thank you you enough babe! Love you!
