mobbed...flash


Its really the first time when I am writing something without having the idea of the title that it would carry. It like you start scribbling something on a paper and as you go, you try to give it a shape and a structure.
Honestly I know content structure is always been an issue with me. But I think that’s what adds unique flavor to my writing.
Well here I am again. Going through some very good videos on youtube a few weeks back there was his something that got my attention straight-away. The trend of flash mob. I mean kudos to that XYZ person who came up with this idea of people in the crowd dancing for the crowed and that too in such amazing ways. The trend of flash mob has taken a huge lunge in the past half decade if I am not wrong.
I mean what is the back-bone of a flash mob ?
The mob itself.
I always wanted to be a part of any kind of Flash mob. The main reason behind it was that I love to dance and flash mob is a collection of such individuals. It feels great to meet so many people who have such an affection and dedication towards dancing. Secondly I was very eager to know all machinery that works in order to make a normal group dance a flash mob.
I also had this grudge inside me from last few months. You it was kind of embarrassing and disrespectful to know that I wasn’t the part of my college flash mob. Its like a non bail-able offence against me. If there is a dance I had to be there. And I wasn’t even asked. Anyways its all past and now I have my chance. The most amazing fact about a flash mob is there are no face, no hero, no lead, no lights, no camera. Just simple, normal people. People having passion for dance, people how believe that performance is there only religion are dedicate to bring smile on other peoples face.
Trust me it feels great to see random unknown people smiling because of you. That is the best reward, even better than claps and shouting.
It a symbol of what any simple normal human being can do if they come together. One person can inspire a group of people, just imagine what a group of such individuals can achieve.
Inspiration or no inspiration, cause or no cause, camera or no camera the main aim of a flash mob is enjoyment.
For spectators and for the participants too. Flash mob is energy, a storm, dedication, practice, vision, willingness, passion and an attempt to know yourself and letting go of your own self for the group.
Hours of practice, clothes sweating wet, legs shaking with fatigue, multiple body-odor, thirsty throats, fight for last drop of water and doing the same routine …
Again…and again….and again…and again…till we drop dead on floor.
When we stand amidst crowd and the music starts nothing matters. there is nothing that you can do. Only thing you can do is enjoy the dance and the attention that you get doing it. You are doing what everyone watching you wants themselves to do.  

And the pinnacle of joy comes when you see your friends joining around you and your smile grows more and more. And your smile makes people watching you smile too. those 7 mins become the best 7 mins of your life.

I am honored to be a part of such a group and do not one but 2 flash mobs. I love to dance and that is the truth and flash mob gave me the stage to show my love to the world.
  Hope you guy love it too.
My dancing and my writing.
