Shall we dance?

Dance has secretly been my passion ever since I remember but apart from endless years spent in preparing the ideal dance for my sister's wedding...never really exhibited the confidence that I can dance! All this changed when I went for my MBA... to dance by seniors n peers alike..the hidden talent came out eventually :) so much so that all I remember now is dancing my way through MBA!
...hey but why am I talking about all that now? In a blog dedicated to my adventures in New Cal?
Well...this is just another story in my kitty that has made my trip and all the hurdles I faced here worthwhile :) ...the story of dancing to a latino dance without knowing anything about it..not even 1 single move!
I was invited for an official farewell dinner for some colleagues and later forced to join everyone else to a pub! I guess the last time I went to a pub it was the start of 18th century :D hehe I mean I'm not a pubbing person at all...and so was expecting to be taken back in an hour or so...but my client boss just wouldn't let me leave...constantly forcing me to have a drink, which I kept passing here n there...inwardly I was cursing him and trying to find ways to sneak past him...and then just as I was trying an escape for nth time...another colleague caught me off guard and just very casually started dancing...all he did was twist n turn my fingers n hands...and there I was...rolling, turning here n there without making any effort!! I guess it took me good 2 mins to realsie what was happening :) and then I was thrilledddd... it was like my dream come true!!
Was it really me? dancing like I never did before...on a Latin dance :) :) yeeee!!
I'm sure this German colleague of mine wouldn't have realized he was doing me such a big favor :D I had a great great time...and those 10 mins indeed made my trip here worthwhile!
I really had the 'Time of my Life'! :)
