- Unencumbered joy-inexhaustible antani

Dholida dhol

play slow,

On a gloomy night

If the color doesn't go...

Drums beat and colorful uncles and aunts danced and danced on the ras grounds. To the beat of the drum, the swaying gait and the twinkling voice of Kaka Ras, such a razzle-dazzle that even the youth would be watching for two hours! The one who runs to meet the congregation is special...

I also reached the ground to see the uncles and aunts Playing and frolicking with each other, in the colors of the North and with unique enthusiasm. My head started spinning for a while seeing the crowd of sportsmen playing and circling. Small to big and big to small also played. Police and private security personnel were also heavily deployed for the safety of the players. On the stage, the singers were singing with their throats open: Vaage hai re vaage hai Mari madi no dunko vaage hai...

When the first round was over at half an hour, Pathukaka came in, rubbing his hands and turning and singing:

It rings, it rings

The baton of Policy rings...

I said, 'Uncle, what happened, who hit the baton in the hand?' Before the uncle could answer, the aunt rushed back and scolded, 'Your rangila kaka will have to eat a baton when he is not smart at this age!'

I asked, 'Uncle sings like a baton of police... what does that mean? Where did the insurance policy come in this Dandiya Ras?'

(Ho) Balakaki laughs and says, 'It's not about the insurance policy, this is a lesson learned by Apalakhna Kaka that there is insurance in playing with policy.'

I got more confused and asked, 'Which policy are you talking about?'

Aunty said, 'Do you know what is policy? Kaka calls women police 'policy'. A lady doctor is called a doctor, a director's wife is called a director. Your aunt calls the police police. Lady police constables in plain clothes also gather for the safety of women in public gatherings. Don't know your uncle, when one of the girls tried to play near the 'Khelayani', the women who were playing together were beaten by the police by hitting her with a stick instead of a stick. So then he sings and rubs his hands, and the baton of the police rings.

I said uncle has to sing now that:

Play the dholida dhol

slow slow

Oli 'Policy' gathering

Insurance insurance in play...

The special feature of the celebration of this festival of power and devotion is that young and old all gather together and sing the garba-raas. We are really surprised to see that Pathukaka's neighbor, a doshi (not pa-doshi, whole dosi), despite crossing the age of 75 years, plays with his three sons, sons-in-law and grandchildren with such enthusiasm that the onlookers are stunned.

In the second round of Dandiya-Ras, this Aji-Maji group entered the playing field. Don't play or ask questions as if you were caught by Hinch's tune. I said to my uncle, 'Your neighbor Doshi's will-power is said to be strong! At this age, he is dancing himself, but how well his two generations are dancing!'

Hearing my words, uncle said with a mischievous smile, 'You are right, Doshi has great will-power. But do you know what causes will-power? This womb-rich Doshima has not yet built a veil, but has told his son that whoever preserves it best will get a larger share in the veil. So now sons and daughters-in-law keep Doshi in their palms. So the three sons feed Doshima with milk, curd, ghee and dry fruits in the hope that a lot will come to them. So in this doshi he dances with will-power and with the power of the will himself and also makes his sons-in-law dance. This is called true will-power. While everyone plays with heart, Doshima's family plays with will. Awesome?'

Earlier, how Norta was celebrated on the street and in the village square! People really used to play with Bhakti-Bhav, but since these business plans have started, instead of Bhakti-Bhakti, we see Bhakti-Bhakti of Passa Bhava, isn't it? Amidst this dance of pass, pass and pass around Chopas everywhere, this time Dandiya-Ras has been held on a large scale in many places in Gujarat, apart from this provision of ambulances has also been kept. If someone has a heart or any other problem while playing, is the ambulance system considered necessary so that they can be taken to the hospital immediately?'

Pathukaka listened to me and spoke. 'You talk about heart attacks while playing, but my grand son Kanaya, aka Kenny, who came from New Jersey for a wedding, had a heart attack on a girl playing, you know?'

I asked my uncle, 'What happened, just tell me, right?'

Says Pathukaka, 'A girl was mesmerized by our Kenny's looks and playing style and played together for nine days and formed such a love affair that Navratri turned out to be a night of love for Kenny.'

I said, 'Uncle, were you skimping on buying expensive passes for your grandson? Now tell me, is the cost of the pass covered or not?' Pathukaka shook his head and said in reply, 'The cost of the pass is 100% of the article! Everyone else warned to be aware of the heart when playing rangechang, but my grandson made a multi-multiple by-pass while playing!'

Question: What did you ask from Mataji in Norta?

Answer: Mother gives without asking. The one who does not have a mother has a demand.

Drums pounding in Norta

Paul inside the drum,

Election in English is called poll

So polempole in pole.

Riddhi De Siddhi De

Ashtanav Nidhi De

And homely 'directly' de.

Poets all rhyme

The Kutchis are all dairy farmers

Money-spending passersby

They are all racists.
