Now 'Garba' is like a Gujju version of the 'Thiruvathira', but the music to which they dance is quite fast and the dancers just dance and don't sing. I'm not pretty sure whether the 'Thiruvathira' dancers sing, but the pace of the dance is quite slow. Thiruvathira is a all girl dance thing while this is like a guys and girl thing. If the whole group comprises of people who really know the steps, it's quite awesome. Throw in a few guys who don't know the steps, you mess up the dance for not just the people watching, you might end up getting hurt or stepping a few toes and really hurting people.
A beautiful memory to remain, here's to Charu's happily ever after. God Bless!.
On a very light note: I haven't read the whole of Gandhi's 'My Experiments with Truth', but there was a chapter for non-detail in school. I remember reading that Gandhi took dance lessons, now Gandhi was Gujju, and he would have learnt to 'Garba'. And if you can 'Garba' you can pretty much pick up any dance. Did Gandhi know 'Garba'?
