LAYMAN’S QUICKIE NAVRATRI GUIDE....
The 9 nights of heat, sweat and passion are now in fashion. In case you are a novice or have been out of practice, here is a quick route to uncover Navratri codes. Keeping up with the festive mood, I present the same in accordance to the most popular remix tunes played during swirl sessions.
We first need to be dressed for the occassion.Here are some trendy tips............
Sorry guys, since it’s just koti, kediyu, dhoti for you every year, try to spruce it up with a bandanna and ethnic sling bag. Create fashion fusion to match ‘Rock on’ energy with your kediyu ‘frock on.’
Girls, here we go-
1. Choli ke peechey kyaa hai?-Jolie! Tattoos look hot with halter neck and backless cholis.Add sparkle to yours with swarowskis. Make sure to use water proof ink for temporary ones.
2. Chunri ke neechey kyaa hai? Decorate the border of your bandhni/laehriyu pallu with multi coloured bead tassels and a good luck charm; be a jingle belle.
3. Resham ka lehnga mera, lehnga hai mehnga-Gaji silk and gota are the flavour of the month.choose a base colour and team with choli and odhni in bright colours.
4. Lehnga utha ke chalu-Length of ghaghras this season is about four fingers higher than the ankles. Keep it pleated for a more graceful sway.
5. Ghunghat girakey chalu-Instead of a damni, stitch on a payal at the edge of your odhni for trendy head gear look.
6. Kyaa kyaa sambhaley chalu Ramji? Stay hands free this Navratri, carry your mobiles in ethnic covers tied to cummerbands or as bajubands.
You are now geared up for garba; let’s try out some swinging, it’s easy, just put your ear to music.
1. Pankhida re udi jajo-This nostalgic number is sung in dedication to all the visiting NRI’s and the kabootarbaaz clan who have flown the nest. Most garbas begin with this sentimental song.
2. Odhni odhu toh udi udi jay- Rendered to make sure all girls take care in these times of visual rapists and mobile videos. It cautions against any wardrobe malfunction. Make sure you are well pinned up before you swirl in the human carousal.
3. Dholida dhol re vagad, mare hich levi che-A popular song with the boys who surprisingly disappear to the parking lot during it. Some say they mistake it for ‘dhich’ which means drink in Gujarati.Some also pronounce it as hic.I wonder why?
4. Sanedo Sanedo lal lal sanedo-Ever since this number has become famous, a number of modern remix versions have been put up in the market. The latest one features Bipasha and Mallika in it. A local NGO claims to have requested for its rights to turn it into an awareness song; a message to play safe during this time of the year, a message to practice caution, before the crowds disappear like coneys.
Last heard, Mr.Ramadoss’s office is said to have approached Surtis to ask if they would play the ‘B*^%#! soota ,soota na laga song ‘during the break, in National interest of health; since Surtis swear by profanity.
But the Surtis it seems have politely declined saying’ when the going gets tough, the puff gets going.’
All right people, you are set for the annual fetish ,let the music play and just make your body sway.
