Navratri is a big festival in gujarat. Every year people wait for these 9days of joy, fun and dancing. Being a gujarati and living in gujarat one ought to know garba. But i don't.
Every year i have to face the same question 'where do you go for garba' and like an old recorded tape everytime i say 'i don't go for garba', 'i go only to watch it', 'i don't know how to play garba'...And the immediate reaction is 'WHY?!?!?!' People react as if i have commited some heinious crime... I am made to feel that am good for nothing as i don't know how to play garba...

I respect the spirit of navratri and those who enjoy playing garba and dandia but why do i have to also do the same?..

I cannot dance.. i cannot carry 'chaniya choli', so what a big deal about it?!

There are many things which we don't do in life and am not creating any problem for anyone by not playing garba, so what's this fuss all about? Why can't people just accept the fact that i cannot do garba and be normal with me?!
