Alternate Space: And I Dance

1.

Today I sat at Select City Walk, New Delhi and stared at this Ferris wheel for almost an hour thinking (I am not really sure what). Finally, I decided to click it's image and keep it with me.

I have realised that I always do better in an alternate reality.

The space that I create for myself is often made up of elements from the real world but it's quite distinct. It runs simultaneously with the what other see as real world around me. Sometimes it doesn't kick in when I need it. It's when I feel I am failing.

However when the alternate reality kicks in. if it kicks in, I become myself and I become celebrated.

For example, right now I am in a remote village in Uttar Pradesh dancing with a dozen of rowdy guys on songs that I don't understand. I usually do not dance. In this world, I suffer from inferiority complex. But I have to dance here.

So I create an alternate world where I am in a club and I am surrounded by a mix of men and women who know me and they know how I dance.

And I dance here.
