There is nothing more demoralizing than not being able to do something that every one else seem to be doing with a snap. I am talking about dance - nah, dignified aerobics. During the past couple of days my colleagues and I have been practicing dance steps on a couple of hit Bollywood numbers (Mind Blowing Mahiya and Woh Ajnabee). I am in one of the teams that is performing on the day of our company's fifth anniversary.
I am crazy about dancing but I have never once danced in a competition or got trained. But I thought I had it in me!
When we started practicing, I had problems right from the word go. I would miss the beats, or forget the steps, or goof up in other ways. But I would take home work and come back prepared. So far so good! Then last week I went on vacation. When I rejoined I was in for surprises. Not only had the group finished practicing the first song, they were well on course to master the steps of the second song as well. I was disturbed. It would be a gargantuan task to both learn the new lessons and keep up with the group. Then there are the team dynamics to worry about. Presently, my morale is in the pits.
