Z is for Zumba Dance

Zumba dance was founded by Alberto Perez a Colombian Dancer and Choreographer in the 90s. It is a mixture of hip-hip, salsa, samba, Bollywood, Mambo, martial arts and many other forms. One day as he went to his usual classes he realized he had forgotten his usual tapes of music. Not to be disappointed he tried mixing the tapes he had and made something entirely new and unheard of. It was liked by everyone and became an instant hit in Columbia. Gradually it spread like wild fire and within no time everyone across the globe was dancing to Zumba !

Could anyone every think that a small mistake of forgetting tapes could actually lead to such a wonderfully enjoyable discovery!

Books on Cinema

For a long time, cinema was a world I wasn’t allowed to enter. I grew up in a home where movies were banned. No television, no glimpses of silver screens, and no songs echoing from old classics. For nearly a decade, cinema was a forbidden word like a secret behind a closed door.  And yet, like all things that carry truth and longing, it found its way to me. Stories have a way of finding you, slipping through cracks, whispered between pages, caught in melodies. Sometimes through the corners of borrowed books, sometimes through whispered summaries from classmates, sometimes just through the magnetic pull of posters and songs I wasn’t supposed to hear.
