You know you're a bhangraholic when...

[RDhariwal]

Definitely play chaal and different dhols beats with your hands, pens, pencils or anything you can use as a wanna-be tilli to practice beats on any type of surface...

omg alll the damn time... sometimes I wish everyone could hear the beats that go on in my head as Im thinking....

oh yea and my friends tell me that when I sleep, I click and grind my teeth which form dhol beats

 

[abhigames]

When you join an online forum dedicated to the art and culture of bhangra and create and participate in threads entitled "You know you're a bhangraholic when..." ;D

 

[[Sher] Imran]

-When you can hear a song and instantly name a few teams that have used that song in the past couple years
-When you start naming moves based on team names..."oh you know that KJ naagne move right? Ok reverse that and add in this kick, lets do something like that"
-When you are looking to move to a different city you factor in if they have decent bhangra teams there
-June-September is the slowest time of the year

 

[sulmoney]

-when you realize half the people you are friends with on fb are people you met once (or never) but know them through bhangra
-when you skip religious holiday times with the family for bhangra events
-when you moderate btf

Skipping out on Eid. Good lord, did you tell your rents it was a for a bhangra gig?

 

[Amit]

When you're playing tennis and after every point the loser has to do a few moves using the racket as a dhaang (wuddup Krishna).

 

[tonygarcha]

your out for an event/club night/good times...and one of your team mates pulls you aside because he has a crazy idea for the upcoming season and you end up spending the remainder of the night drinking and talking about the next boliyan to use for the set.

 

[Billy Bob]

You skipped Eid for bhangra!? ahahahhaha thats a new level.

 

[tonygarcha]

...when you and your team mate are going for drinks at a bar on a saturday afternoon. YOu choose to sit on the patio and request a pen and paper. You spend the afternoon putting together formations and acting them out while the waitress gives you odd looks and then you have a few in you and start teaching her jhummar steps and then she does some booty shake dance for you...good memories

 

[ban3rg]

When you spend long nights chatting on AIM about the philosophy and origins of Bhangra (yea Nevin!)

When your legs are disproportionately stronger than anything else in your body

 

[Somi]

wow...EID...!!!
damn

 

[Arjun Barua]

When your legs are disproportionately stronger than anything else in your body

That's also true of footballers and runners. But definitely a good sign of a bhangraholic!

 

[Nikhil]

Somi please holler at Waleed.

Thank you.

[Jaskaran]

Haha! Yeah when you and your choreographer can work on a sequence over the phone. Or some less-bhangraholic suggests a song and it you shoot it down in two seconds with "no, Davis did that in 05, anddd Empire did all thru 06".

- Your bhangra team is one of the most active school orgs on campus
- You take better notes on formations and how to make the mix than you do in any class
- You sleep-in and skip 9:55 AM classes but are always on time for 6:00 AM bhangra practice on a Saturday
- You practice through June-Aug to go to Groundshaker

 

[Somi]

im a bad haji, i skipped eid for bhangra

HAHAHA and a Haji...HAHAHAHA

and I guess I agree with shahruk...its all about the Eid namaz...

 

[faizan]

i skipped my some eid...that's so last year...

 

[Mukandpuria]

when your music collection has way more Punjabi songs than English and you start to think of just deleting all the English songs and listing to bhangra songs all day everyday(Still thinking about it)
