Europe's largest library opened in Birmingham this week. Saturday was opening weekend and the streets were full of entertainers and crowds circling them.
Birmingham has a large Asian population and it was no surprise that there was Bollywood Dancing in the open space in front of the library.
The first was an Asian group of girls. Reminded me of my Diwali Show dancing days when I was young. Although I had a nice clean stage floor and not the cold pavement that they were so bravely dancing bare-footed on.
I haven't danced to the sound of Bollywood since I nearly slipped and fell on the stage due to my ill-fitting outfit. But despite my last experience I could still feel that leg twitch to the sound of the drums.
They seemed to be the only Asian group as the others were caucasian. That flick of the hip seems to be an Asian thing that we were innately born with, as they weren't quite managing the hip wiggle.
Except for one lady who impressively knew all the words to the song. I wonder if she actually knew what it meant. But nevertheless, her singing along showed she was enjoying herself.
