I wish i could

My mom has written a blog about her secret silly desire and I thought of making a confession too.

I have half a mind not to write this post...as I know it would surely make people laugh at me. But then I’m a person who likes a good laugh and well…you all laugh enough at me already...so why bother now?

I always wanted to do a rain dance-the whole bollywood package, you know!

I don’t know when I started to think about it...all I can say is that I think of it often!

I have imagined it in great detail. Sometimes Imagination is all we have, and it will do. Hot summer afternoons, I would lie on my back on the floor and think whether I wanted a blue saree or red one. Many people think yellow looks good on me but I definitely don’t want a white saree (I am not cute enough to look like Chandni)!!!

Sometimes I think I should give up on this whole saree business and stick to shorts like Kajol in yeh dillagi or at least calf length pants like Sridevi in Chaal baaz.

In fact I can’t even decide whether I want to do an“enjoying the rain” song “look at me I’m so sexy” rain dance! When I see Zeenat Aman sway in “yeh mausam aur yeh doori”...I’m almost sure that I want to do the second kinda dance…but then the good thing about things happening in your head is that…you never have to make a decision.

I have had my set of rain dances with friends…but we always ended up feeling like bums and looking like wet cats...with our clothes sticking to us in all unflattering ways...far away from the sexy heroines who would look gorgeous! Pour some water on them and they would turn into sensuous sirens who’d break the will of a stone. Water on us...and the only effect would be that our mascara would run!

When Buddha in his wisdom said “Desire is the root cause of all sorrow”, he must have had his reasons. All I know is that this silly wish of mine has given me lot of happy hours.
