When you miss the exit to the competition because the mix is playing on the CD and you're doing the routine with one hand on the steering wheel while in the far left lane :p

When your the first person on the dance floor and the last one off
When you wake up on the morning and the first the you do is check Btf
When your sub consciously doing Bhangra ALL the time
When you remember states by the teams that are from there
When you can go to the gym for the first time and squat a rediculous amount of weight

When you read all the posts on this and your relieved that you not the only one

when at a job interview you are asked about teamwork and you talk about the process of getting into a competition and the Elite 8 bids

When a job interview requires you to teach your possible future employers something, and you teach them a little bhangra

And you do so well that you get the job.

Which happened to me 6 months ago.

Be careful with this... once I went to a job interview unprepared so I could only come up with bhangra examples for like every question. The CPA wasn't impressed, and I can't say I blame him because convincing him my bhangra career was great prep to become a public accountant is a bit of a stretch

This was for a second interview for a job. The first was about my qualifications, and the usual questions that are asked in a first round interview-which I never even brought bhangra up. My second interview was a little rare, at least in the corporate world.

Part of my job includes training clients, and my now-boss wanted to know if I was a good teacher (with three years of teaching experience, I'm a damn good teacher). I was allowed to pick any topic that I wished-I wasn't judged based on my choice-and had to teach it to them. I figured why not teach them something interesting... and so I picked bhangra.

Ironically enough, my Italian-American boss is also into desi culture (I guess living in Edison, NJ for a few years does that to you). He was surprised at my pronunciation of the words, how well I was able to explain everything, and how comfortable he and his colleagues felt with my material after my little bhangra session.

It was either that or teach them topology... and put them to sleep.

lol, Good choice :p Topology would definitely have gotten you fired before you even really got the job. ;D
