Finding Love During Navratri

Time of Gaiety and Love

MG SINGH
The Navratri festival period that ends with Dussehra is a time of great gaiety in India or anywhere else where Hindus stay in large numbers. The period is marked by a dance called the dandia, which is done everyday at night. In this dance all the girls and boys get together in a dance to the accompaniment of racy music and film songs. The dandia usually takes place in the evening and stretches late into the night.

This is also the best time to look for a partner for yourself. A girl will deck herself in her best attire and makeup and come for the dance. I will recommend that a girl going for the dance wear a backless choli. This is certainly an eye-catcher and in case you fancy a boy, make eye contact with him and smile whenever he sees you. Also learn the dance movements of the Dandia, so that your movements are sensuous and enticing. Do not forget to use some good perfume as well, so that an aura of romance is created.

When going for the Dandia,do go with a group of girls so that you can stand out among them. It will also show that as yet you are unattached. Make it clear to the boy, that you fancy him and you are on the look out for a partner. Try and be near him and if the chance comes, dance along with him. try and exchange the dance sticks by any ruse. You could drop a stick and wait. In any any case create the condition for the evening. Give him a little push and smile. Make it look inadvertent and then make light conversation.

Once the ice is broken,drop your hanky or something else and wait for him to be the gallant knight. At the end tell him that you are going alone, as all your pals stay closeby. This will certainly bring an offer of dropping you home. Well,you are now on your way and god willing,you may latch on to a good boy as friend or even a life parner.

As far as boys are concerned the steps are the same. Use the Dandia sticks to play Cupid and get the attention of the girl you fancy. Make light conversation with her and after that ask her out for dinner. Be gallant and brave. Remember faint heart never won fairwoman.

The Dandia during Navrati is an excellent time to get romantic. Romance is certainly in the air, make the most of it.
