you will be able to understand my plight only if you are a fellow non-singer non-dancer like me. i just don't do things i am not decent at(and that just means being able to do it at the very basic level). i simply can't dance, i have no control over which way my limbs fly about, and don't have a feel for rhythm. regarding singing, my father (who is quite a good singer) used to say that i sound as if a toad is lodged in my throat! with such handicaps, i find myself regularly in a situation at parties and gatherings, where i wish the earth opened up and swallowed me ("dharani dwidha hao"). and it seems mankind extracts sadistic pleasure in torturing someone to do something which he/she does terribly, and then pulling him/her down. why can't you people leave us poor untalented people alone, and show off your huge reservoirs of talent? we will be more than happy to dissolve in the background, and shower you with applause.

ReplyDeletethe most important time:
time after dinner when the party goers have filled themselves up and are ready for their tantrums
the most important person:
your host and his coterie baying for your colourful display
the most important thing:
give them a graphic depiction of the second law of thermodynamics by your creation and perpuation of chaos through your performance
compel them to demand for an encore
