Garba...

Yaaaayyyy!!!! I finally went!!!
(after a few "but you never let me see my friends" and a bit of acting like a moody cow....)
but yes! i went...
and it was.... fun... i think!

i was toooo scared and nervous to reallly enjoy it...
the main worry was I'm a Muslim at a Hindu Festival...
and as welcoming as Hinduism is meant to be of other faiths... the PEOPLE ... talk!
lolz!
and so, i couldn't reallly relax and enjoy myself...

but omg! i got the garba step!! even the 3-clapped step...
and then dandiya, i got a BIT confuzzled at times... but overall it was good...
(i WILL put up my own definitions of what Navratri, Garba and Dandiya is...)

after coming back with a sore back, a hungry belly, a lengha drenched in sweat, and aching legs... i realised... Navratri is kinda like Ramadhan for Muslims...
as well as the Religious importance of each festival... there's the physical aspect where we kinda... make ourselves fitter... (if that makes sense)

a hindu will abstain form any "wrong food" (meat, alcohol etc) and the garba is a physical thing that makes them fitter...
a muslim controls what they eat when they're not fasting but during fastin hours obviously they don't eat... and the movements of the prayer is what is meant to keep them fit, as it supposedly uses every muscle in the body...

...it's kinda cool how you can find similarities in between religions...
kinda makes you smile :)
